Au Jus

I cannot avoid starting by the end: the banana pudding is a winner! Fresh ingredients, scrumptious texture, flavors that meld into a perfect dessert. The sandwiches and burgers are excellent, and the array of sauces, lovely. We tried the chicken bbq and leg of lamb sandwiches, satisfying and well made. Will be back!

We were surprised to see Oklahoma Style BBQ here in the Upper West Side. It was our first time trying Oklahoma Style BBQ so ordered from here a couple of times! First thing first, Their Oklahoma BBQ Pork Ribs with a side of mac and cheese and cornbread. The ribs were tasty! We loved the dry rub and the meat come off the bone easily, super tender and flavorful. As for the BBQ sauce, it was a lot tangier for sure! But overall worth it! The Tulsa BBQ Pulled Pork was also delicious! It was served on a brioche roll with pickled red onions, coleslaw & BBQ sauce. It was a flavorful sandwich and they gave a wonderful amount of meat. We also ordered their Oklahoma Hot Links Sandwich. Now this one was served on a Hawaiian sweet roll, smoked, hot n' spicy beef sausage with melted sharp cheddar cheese, chicharrones, baby arugula, and chipotle sweet pepper mayo. The cheese in this sandwich just melts so beautifully with the combination of the heat from the beef sausage is perfection. Very hot and spicy, worth the mouth burn. Not to make this review too long, but the crabcake sandwich was also good, a little small - more of a light snack but good! Lastly, their Homemade Crème Brûlée is well made! great when you are craving a decent price Crème Brûlée. Overall, will come back again and again!

Nice addition to the neighborhood with this Oklahoma BBQ spot. Nice chumy decor. Friendly staff. Had the beef brisket Platter that comes with 2 sides. I chose red Oklahoma chili - that's beanless beef chili - and gouda Mac n cheese. The brisket is smoked for 14 hours and was tender and flavorful. I didn't need the 3 BBQ sauces, but they were good too!

As a person from Tulsa, I’m always skeptical of anyone who says their Oklahoma BBQ is delicious. So, we had to try this place. I have to say - it met the expectations. Sweet BBQ was yummy on the Tulsa pulled pork sandwich. We also had the Gouda Mac & Cheese, cornbread and stuffing. I highly recommend all of them. The sweet tea was more like an Arnold Palmer, so if you don’t like a lemon flavor, don’t get it. Finally, we had the pineapple upside down cake. The restaurant is covered with mostly Tulsa-themed posters & celebrities. We’ll definitely be back.

if you are looking for the best BBQ, look no further than the Upper West Side. From ribs to brisket to BBQ chicken, every meal we have had at Au Jus is so good 😋

Such a fun find in UWS! Food is good and they have live music on Monday nights. And good wine/beer options. Service is also great!

I have been going to this restaurant since it opened and the quality of their barbecue is always the best. I love steak sandwiches and pork chops. They are so good! You can taste the quality of the meat is very good. The service staff is also very warm, every time to feel very cordial! It is highly recommended!!!!

If you want a small bite, get a soup and slider. It will be a perfect portion, specially during the hot summer. Good way to taste everything on the menu. If you have a full appetite go for the sandwich or platter.

Incredible! The meat was good and they delivered fast! And the price is very reasonable! I didn’t expect anything but this restaurant came out as my favorite around the area. Try it you will know what I am saying!

The real flavors shine in every dish. Everything they serve is fresh and presented with care. Employees show remarkable attention. The cost of dining here is quite reasonable. This spot maintains steady quality.

Quick service, friendly staff and great food! Maybe a little improvement could be done: real silverware please. It’s all meat based (most of it) and eating and cutting with plastic forks and knifes is a real challenge. Hope they will take this not-a-complain in consideration.

Brisket was kinda flavorless and a bit too hard. The cornbread had corn flour in it? But didn't really taste like anything. Mac and cheese was good, as well as the beans. The place was empty and I understand why.

I want to love this spot. Bad. Because I live in this hood & the food choices around here are average to poor. This is the second worst BBQ I’ve had in Manhattan. The only thing I’d consider eating again was the corn beef. Maybe their burger. Everything was a miss. Everything is overpriced. Everything was under or not seasoned at all. Everything was flavorless. I haven’t been this disappointed since Trump and Biden won. No cap. Service was good though. They’re really nice. It’s clean. So there’s that.

Avoid the Reuben. So much fat between two slices of bread. The ribs were ok, but I asked for BBQ and received plain ribs. The cashier had a hard time taking the order. I will not return.

Over $20 for this little piece of food is actually ridiculous. The brisket I received is mostly fat and when I received my food, it was ice cold.

I love BBQ and want to try every one in the city. Sadly, this will be near the bottom. The service was friendly and the food came out quickly. Interior is nice as well. Sad to report the best part of the meal was the side of kale. The brisket had a nice flavor but as other have reported, it's about half fat and the portion was comically small. For $21 you would expect to be stuffed. One thing that all BBQ places have in common is plenty of food for the price. This was just sad. The baked beans tasted like they were out of a can. Like I said, the kale was awesome. But overall, way overpriced and subpar food.

I was starving yesterday and decided to get take-out from this place for the first time. Got the "lunch special" of one choice of meat and one side with a drink for $12.50. When I received my order, it was noticeably light, and I really should have checked it before it left, but I was carrying a lot of other things and just wanted to get home and eat. Imagine my disappointment and pure disdain for this joke of a "lunch special" when I got home and saw the two to three ounces of chicken and small container of stuffing I was given. See photo. I mixed the chicken and stuffing together here just to have some semblance of a decent-sized meal. BBQ sauce container included for scale. Chicken was fine and the stuffing was pretty average. Lemonade was very artificial in taste. Need to reiterate the minuscule portions. Will never eat here again. It's pretty telling too that this place is empty most of the time. I probably would never have eaten here if I weren't so hungry. This happened yesterday and I am still mad about it. I spent the same amount at Chiptole and got three times the amount of food, if not more.

If you like gray oil soaked meat then look no further. I don't know if all their meats were just cooked in the oven with liquid smoke but there is absolutely no flavor. Literally looks and tastes like they cooked it in the oven and reheated in the microwave to warm up. This isn't bbq. Short ribs- only edible item I had, no smoke flavor but somewhat tender Pork ribs - dry, flavorless, oven baked. I've had better ribs from Dallas BBQ Brisket - what in the world do you do to get meat that color... Wings - tastes like a reheated frozen wing Smoked bologna - in my head I was thinking how do you mess up bologna it's already cooked, but they burnt it Please do not advertise any of your meats as being smoked when clearly they have not been.

Do not order from this place. I ordered rib tips and that were ice cold. When I called to ask why they sent me ice cold ribs, the gentleman laughed and said you didn't order them hot and proceeded to give me reaheating directions. I asked if was an option in the app, he told me yes. Shocker, it most definitely not an option. They also sent the worst cut rib tips. I definitely do not recommend this place.
