Located in a former Williamsburg garage, Fette Sau ("Fat Pig") channels the sainted barbecues of Central Texas, serving up 'cue on a plain tray on a sheet of butcher paper. While there are two sauces available, you've got to put them on yourself. On a recent revisit, the barbecue was as spectacular as ever (preferred: brisket, pork chop, pork belly), greasy and as smoky as a brush fire on the prairie. The fact that the meat selection is quirky and variable (but featuring boutique meats), only makes you want to visit more often. Sides like potato salad and crunchy pickles have a higher success rate than even Texas barbecues. We love this place.

This place is BBQ heaven. Large portions, excellent variety, taisty side dishes, excellent meet, and even a taisty pickle on the side. Try it out on a week night because weekends often have lines out the door. They also deliver in Brooklyn during the week days.

this place is carved out of an old garage with wooden picnic tables, local beef and pork, potato salad, chips, and a serious whiskey and scotch bar. probably the best bbq i have ever tasted.
