John Brown BBQ

I really enjoyed my dinner here. The prices were good, the staff is friendly, and the food is delicious. I got the John Brown Reuben sandwich, the pastrami was great. The corn bread is also VERY good, and honestly could even stand on its own as a dessert.

I recently visited John Brown BBQ in Queens and left thoroughly impressed. I ordered the brisket, pastrami, collard greens, and mac and cheese, and every item delivered. The brisket was tender and flavorful, with a deep, smoky profile, while the pastrami stood out as especially rich and well-seasoned. The collard greens were cooked perfectly—savory without being heavy—and the mac and cheese was creamy, comforting, and well balanced. Beyond the food, the staff were consistently friendly, attentive, and helpful, which added to the overall experience. Service felt genuine and welcoming rather than rushed. This is the kind of place you immediately want to return to, and I absolutely would come back for seconds. Highly recommended for anyone looking for excellent barbecue and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere in Queens.

Got some takeout for the super bowl. Everything was delicious! The brisket was the real highlight. The sauce was good as well. The man working the front register was friendly and gave good service. I would return again sometime.
