This restaurant and bar has a very modern layout. Lots of draft beers available. I loved how the BBQ meats were available in 5 oz sizes, instead of just the usual 1/4 lb, 1/2 lb, etc. This let me try different meats while just visiting solo. They also have a vast selection of sides. I had the excellent slaw and mac and cheese. Right off B67 St subway station too. I''m going to be visiting on more of my Rockaway trips!

Fantastic, hit the spot! Ordered the Beach Box to the Beach. Friendly staff called to check on my order then came back with utensils when they realized we were on the beach. Some of the best BBW North of Texas. 4 of us shared the box with Mac & Cheese, Collards, Corn bread (Fantastic!) Deviled Eggs (perfection) the pickles and the Hennessy Colada.

Love this place. The bang bang chicken sandwich is incredible. The corn bread is some of the best around and I love the deviled eggs too. Also a great cocktail menu. Give the Southerner a try!!

Absolutely love this place!! If you want a nice quality restaurant, don't hesitate to come here. Their food and drinks are so well made and tasty, it makes you want to come back again and again. Their henny coladas are incredible, as well as their jumbo wings. Atmosphere is super fancy and relaxing, definitely a place I will keep on coming to for nice dinners. The staff is super professional and ask how you're doing to make sure you're pleased with your time there.

Great restaurant by the beach. This is in those developments by the subway. They have a big menu including some tasty looking bbq. I really really wanted to try it but I was really in the mood for a hamburger. Service was friendly and quick. The ambiance is friendly and beachy

The staff was really accommodating and friendly! We were greeted right away and received our drinks and food pretty fast. The food is very cheap compared to other places in the city. I got the brisket sandwich with a side of Mac and cheese. The brisket could’ve been seasoned more. It didn’t really do it for me. Would love to come back and try other items on the menu. Mac and cheese was really good though!

Batesy’s BBQ and Bar was the perfect stop for lunch after a three mile stroll on the boardwalk. These first timers were exploring and decided on Batesy’s. What a good choice. Gerard greeted us immediately and was very hospitable. He and Chris provided us with exceptional service. We ordered the Batesy’s Beach Box which was enough food for three people and of great value. The corn on the cob could’ve cooked a little longer but OMG the cornbread, the brisket, chicken and the St. Louis ribs were delicious! The cornbread was served with a side of butter that when drizzled atop the cornbread it made for a mouthwatering experience. My companion shared that the Henny Colada was superb🤩. While the patio would have been perfect, we decided to dine inside with the diverse restaurant goers. Batesy’s has a wonderful staff, good food and a great location!

Classic BBQ in Rockaway. This got me through a 4th of July fix for sure. It wasn’t anything like life changing incredible, but it wasn’t like “I wouldn’t go here again.” It’s perfect for: I’ve been at the beach all day and I’m craving some American BBQ. Ribs were good, nice sauce and they slid off the bone. The wings are good as well, not that spicy. The cornbread was delicious, coleslaw was normal, sautéed greens were kale / broccolini w garlic, and corn was corn. Our host was very nice and helped us pick a cocktail when we were indecisive.

2.5 🌟 if I could but being the meal was more on the 3 side I rounded up. $45+tx+delivery = $56 order This is suppose to be a BBQ place. Portion and flavor was definitely NOT worth the price. The sauce ALONE made the meal. Meal was to be smoked but only taste/smell that in the sauce, not meat, even though faint as though liquid smoke was the only thing used. Food texture was soft, edible, but there were no flavor. Seems the same cut that was used for the ribs was used for the pulled pork which everyone knows it shouldn't be. The corn was sprinkled with paprika and butter and was FRESH to the taste and "oily", where's the flavor? The cornbread was full of corn and butter (very buttery) with no flavors beyond that. The fries were soggy and not at all crunchy or tasted fresh. Meal came room temp, the most, it's summer right now and delivery person delivered item on time with no delay.

This is my third time ordering Batesy’s Bbq and the first two times I ordered food, it was delicious. Today I ordered the same meat, smoked brisket and I was more than disappointed. The sliced brisket I ordered was sitting in a container with more oil and fat than actual meat. I also ordered the Coleslaw and it was over dressed with mayonnaise, more than I had last month. I don’t think I will be returning, I am turnef off. I’m not sure if maybe because I ordered to go is the reason I was given all of the fat of the brisket, but I am unhappy.

Ordered a catfish sandwich, and fries. Never again, the fish was greasy, hard, there was no fish, just a greasy hard outer shell, with no recognizable fish insides. The fries were soggy, some even stuck together , and under cooked. I just threw the whole meal away. I wouldn’t feed it to a dog! Totally disgusting.
