Mason Jar NYC

5 stars for the ribs and huge sides of cheese grits, cornbread and mac. My boyfriend is from Mississippi and I'm from Virginia so this and Mighty Quinn's are the only BBQ places we go to for the food.

We came on a Saturday night, walked in the door. No hostess at the desk at the front, entire front half of the restaurant was empty...Stood at the door before we were told to sit wherever we like. Headed to the back (where there seemed to actually be people) and were seated by waitress. They have a nice projection screen for sports, nice music (a little loud at first). Really good beer selection w a good price, cocktails are a few bucks cheaper than other restaurants in the area, but don't expect the classic, normal size mason jar glass...The pulled pork lived up to being this place's signature dish. Really great BBQ sauces too

Southern comfort! The chicken and waffles alone can change your entire outlook on life.

I came here with a friend armed with a $25 coupon, so we grabbed a quick bite here before heading around the corner to Hotel Gansevoort.

For starters, we split the Mason Egg Rolls, stuffed with tasty pulled pork and veggies. The accompanying "Asian" BBQ sauce wasn't really Asian, and actually somewhat masked the subtle smoke flavor of the pulled pork.

For the entree, rather than ordering separate plates, they offer a "House Smoked BBQ Sampler" - a selection of four meats (well, three and a bird depending on how you keep count) and a choice of side. We opted for the tater tots, which came hot and crispy. Ironically, the meats were arranged on a long plate in order from worst to best (in my opinion of course). Turkey was dry, and seemed like an afterthought, brisket pieces were hit or miss depending on how thin they were cut, ribs were spot on, and the pulled pork at the "good" end of the plate was stellar!

Our waitress was great - very friendly and quick to refill drinks and waters, and gave us a fresh set of sharing plates between appetizer and entree. If I come back here, I'm going to stick to just the pulled pork, either as an entree/sandwich, or in the form of those tasty egg rolls I mentioned earlier.

this place was great. good food, great atmosphere, great waiter. the full house is ridiculously Big for a great price. okay that is three times i ised the word great (four) so go try it.
