Since 1988, Dinosaur Bar-B-Que (Dino BBQ) has been serving up mouth-watering food and serious suds to thousands of hungry diners craving some of the most authentic Southern barbeque and regional craft brews this side of the Mason Dixon Line. Dino BBQ continues to be a recognized leader in the world of barbecue restaurants with a brand that currently includes six locations (New York – Syracuse, Rochester, Hamburg, Troy, Harlem, and Brooklyn). Co-founder and owner John Stage started Dino BBQ by feeding bikers at various events and festivals along the East Coast and has built his operation as a nationally known brand, which includes a catering division, a line of BBQ sauces and rubs and a successful cookbook, Dinosaur Bar-B-Que: An American Roadhouse (Ten Speed Press; 2001). Stage’s menus are firmly rooted in the traditions of southern barbecue and influenced by flavors that give Dino BBQ’s dishes their own distinctive character. “That’s one of the secrets of great barbecue,” says Stage, “staying committed to tradition, but finding your own stamp and signature.”
