Savor some of the finest ribs known to man at Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, though the macaroni and cheese might leave you yearning for more. While the brisket and pulled pork shine, the same can't be said for the mac and cheese, although the potato salad and cornbread hit the mark. A visit to Dinosaur Bar-B-Que in Buffalo is always a highlight, offering a cozy ambiance and authentic Texas-style barbecue. Don't miss the wings, a true standout even in the chicken wing capital, ensuring a satisfying meal – though one might consider ordering a bit extra for those hearty appetites.
