The Dinosaur Bar-B-Q was started in 1983 by three bikers, bound together by the love of good food, a 55 gallon drum cut in half, and a serious case of wanderlust. For five years the road was our home, slinging Bar-B-Q at motorcycle shows, fairs, and festivals up and down the east coast. It is from our travels that our Bar-B-Q evolved. By 1988, burnt out from the road, their gypsy journey settled into downtown Syracuse and opened up as a take out BBQ joint.

In 1990, feeling the need to couple some booze with our Bar-B-Q, they doubled their space and added a full bar and waitress service. Blues always served as their musical backdrop so the next step became live music. Starting with their first act, Dr. Blue, they went from one night of live music to two, then three.... as they say, the rest is history.

Over the last decade, our Dinosaur Bar-B-Q has been nationally acclaimed. Their blues club is recognized as one of the best in the country. They also manufacture and distribute five of our own specialty sauces throughout the U.S., England and Australia.
