Dinosaur BBQ Locations are a huge part of the brand’s story, stretching back to 1983 when biker-chef John Stage founded the first smoke-filled joint in Syracuse, New York. What began as a mobile BBQ stand serving hungry crowds soon grew into a full restaurant—and over the years, the demand for bold, scratch-made barbecue pushed Dinosaur Bar-B-Que across the Northeast.
Today, the restaurant proudly operates 8 locations in the United States, each keeping the same soulful tradition alive.
