Bark Barbecue: Restaurant, Brooklyn, NYC

Having expanded from a smaller spot on Water Street, the smokehouse matches the atmosphere of a classic Texas barbecue joint with Latino flavors. Beyond standard platters, the kitchen serves generous portions and innovative sandwiches. The popularity of the larger venue has created mixed experiences with wait times: while some visitors run into long lines and slow service, others find the counter staff works quickly to slice up the smoky, slow-cooked meats.
