BBQ Restaurants Capital District NY

I spent a little time and compiled a list of BBQ restaurants I found in the Capital District Area of New York and the outlying areas. I give no personal promises of what quality each location gives as I haven't dined at most of the locations. I have heard good things about Capital Q Smokehouse in Albany, Brunswick BBQ in Brunswick, JR's BBQ in Burnt Hills.

I personally don't go out for BBQ much as I make it often at home. I generally wait for my trips down south to get my BBQ at a restaurant, but having lived in the area again for about a year, I might consider trying some of these locations in the near future. That is after to 15 lbs of various BBQ is out of my refrigerator from the class I taught at Spoon and Whisk this past Wednesday.

  1. Hmmm...you missed the Pig Pit in Cohoes

    About to move from Van Schaik Island to a bigger, more easily found space along intersection of NYS787 (not the Interstate part) and Dyke St.

  3. Capital Q rocks so much. Sadly, Mo BBQ has been closed for a few years now *sniff*

  4. I'll make sure I remove Mo's from the list thanks. I've heard good things about Capital Q, I need to make a trip out there someday soon.
