Great bar-b-que! Long line that went fast and you can order drinks while waiting. The beef rib and the brisket were our favorite for sure. The pulled pork was ok but not to die for. We also got the sticky ribs - good. Slaw, collards and pickles were delicious. 1/3 loved the corn bread!

Came on a Saturday around 2pm. The line was long even on an off hour. Maybe waited around 30 minutes before getting to order. Luckily, there was a beverage company outside doing a promotion of their product and was handing out free snow cones to beat the summer heat. There were already a few things that were sold out for the day. Brisket was good, super tender and well seasoned. We ordered a sausage, but they gave us the wrong kind. Ended up with the jalapeño cheddar. While it was good and had a good bite, I would've wanted to try the other one. Jerk rib tips had a good flavor but very chewy. Considering they were rib tips, I was expecting it to be more tender. Pastrami bacon was so good. I loved the sauce that came with it. The smoke on it was perfect. Korean sticky ribs were quite small. While they were flavorful, they weren't fall off the bone. The vast amount of green onions were appreciated. Texas chili was good. I appreciated the amount of meat in it. Collard greens were very tasty. I would get this side again especially to have something other than meat. Cornbread could've been more moist. The prices are quite steep, but Hometown Bar-B-Que is one of the better BBQ places that I've tried in NYC.

Spare ribs were outstanding today with the coating and flavor; succulence was otherworldly. Beef ribs and brisket were similarly sublime. In light of the Olympics, a large screen offered live coverage and additional entertainment.

This place came highly recommended and it's clear everyone else in Brooklyn seemed to have also got the same recommendation because the line was around the block! I'm not usually one to see a line and say "yeah, sure whatever" but this was a rare occasion where I was willing to wait. The line moved fairly quickly and once we figured out we weren't just waiting for a table but to actually place an order an immediately be served, we were game. And then when we figured out we could order drinks and imbibe while we waited? Well, then we were game AND tipsy. The margaritas were a solid choice to enjoy while waiting. They also have beer too. Once we got to the front, we ordered so much freakin' BBQ. Brisket, smoked turkey, pulled pork, wings, bacon, and ribs. Plus baked beans, coleslaw, potato salad, mac and cheese, cornbread, and banana pudding. Goddamn, everything was fantastic. The Korean sticky ribs were delicious and definitely very sticky. The Vietnamese hot wings were extremely hot and even though I love spicy food (usually can tolerate a level 2 or 3 at Vietnamese restaurants) it was actually a little too hot for me because of how long the spice lingered. Oh, we also got the pastrami bacon and it probably was the best piece of meat I've ever eaten in my life. You MUST get the bacon. I really like how this spot doesn't just have traditional BBQ but also incorporates a fusion of Vietnamese, Korean, and Latin fare (they have both tacos and bao buns on the menu, not something I've ever seen at another BBQ spot). It's worth the wait and lives up to the hype - GO!

Rating: 3.5 It's a big trek to get to this place, but I finally made up my mind to go here. It's cool inside, but there's no AC (only fans), which was a bit rough since I happened to go on a really hot summer day. We ordered the brisket and the Korean ribs, with a side of mac & cheese and a slice of cornbread and unfortunately the food generally fell flat. The brisket was really dry; it felt like it had been sitting out for a while. We needed to douse it with sauce. The mac and cheese wasn't the best - the queso on top was the only source of flavor and there wasn't enough of it. The korean ribs were good but not mindblowing. The best part of the meal was the cornbread, which was sweet and moist. I was hoping I would like this place a lot more given it was so hard to get to, but still glad I was able to check it out.

It's always a great day when I get to go to Hometown. This time, we tried the lamb Bahn mi in addition to the brisket, bacon and the spare ribs. Everything was incredible, especially when paired with the BBQ sauces. Of the meat we got this trip, I would say the brisket was my favorite!!

Would come back here solely for the mac & cheese and cornbread because they were so good. We came a little after 8pm on a Friday and there was quite a wait. I'd recommend having one person wait in line and order while the other gets drinks and a table. Once you order, food is ready fast. It does feel very hometown-esque with the outdoor picnic table seating. My boyfriend got the brisket sandwich and did enjoy it but agreed the mac and cheese and cornbread were definitely the highlights of the meal. Potato salad could be skipped.

This some darn good Texas Style bbq. Perhaps the best you can find north of the carolinas. Each time that I have been, i have been impressed with the bark, the flavors, and just overall experience. The menu does a great job representing the various cultures in brooklyn so although if is texas style bbq, you gon get a sprinkle of diversity with everything. Customers are fortunate to have such a luxurious experience with barbecue here. I mean yall get to wait outside with lots of seating available and then once inside even more seating and a full service bar ! it is obvious that the owners wanted to provide an environment that could be enjoyed by all. Yeah thats real nice! Just dont expect that level of hospitality at the texas bbq joints in texas.
