The Dinosaur Bar-B-Que began life in 1983 as a mobile concession stand using a 55-gallon drum cut in half at the Harley Rendezvous, a massive motorcycle gathering near Albany, NY. It settled in to a permanent home in Syracuse, NY, in 1988 and has since branched out with 9 new locations. Their menu is firmly rooted in the traditions of Southern bar-b-que, but there are other influences that shape their flavors and give their food its own distinctive character. That's one of the secrets of great bar-b-que: staying committed to tradition, but finding your own stamp and signature.
