Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I don’t eat meat and this place even has plenty to eat for me. I went with friends who wanted barbecue. They said it was the best barbecue they have had in a long time. It seems that they cook their food Southern style which...means everything is cooked a long time. I had several sides in the corn bread which were all very very tasty. The portions are large and the atmosphere is fun. Look to get your fingers messy.More

Everything was so tasty! Their meat would be delicious even without bbq sauce, but their sauce is also really good. It starts sweet, then turns a little smokey and finally just a touch spicy. I had the brisket cheesesteak sandwich with a side of fried,...and also tried some mac and cheese. Mmmmmm! We also enjoyed a local beer on tap. The seating was comfortable, the service good, and the bathroom clean.More

Sorry I call it as I see it. 26 bucks for dry ribs and brisket no bueno. When the brisket is cut 1/8" thick most of the time it's dry. Brisket should be cut 1/4" thick and it should bend and pull apart easily. Sorry...I call it as I see it. Ribs were super dry no moisture at all the 2 sides were okay coleslaw and collard greens.More

Meat was flavorless and dry. Frito pie and pickles were the only things with any seasoning. I'm actually angry I paid so much for this food, and had it not have been so expensive ($70 for counter service food for 2 people) I would have...thrown it all out and walked to the nearest pizza place.More

o.k.... oddly, I'm a vegetarian.... but the beans, cornbread and greens (vinegar based) were delicious. They also have Mac and Cheese if you don't eat meat.

Everybody is friendly. Atmosphere use simple with a little of a canteen fast food style. The meat is good. Sandwich are very basic with buns tasting too much like a cheap corn bread. Chicken look amazing

The food is great here, and the restaurant is a nice little spot to hang out with some friends. But it takes a while for food to be served. I have been to plenty of barbecue restaurants with similar order setup (walk up, place order,...wait for a tray) where food comes out in five minutes or so. For some reason it takes them like 15-20 minutes here to assemble a tray. Maybe it's because they have limited staff and a lot of to-go orders. It is delicious, though.More

I tried this at the Seaport Smorgasburg. It was very good BBQ. Wonderful flavors! The portions were rather big, which was great. It was a bit expensive though. It was more than $30 for two portions. The server was rude too, so that took away...from the experience.More

We came here for dinner before a nearby show at the Bell House looking for a typical American BBQ joint & Fletcher's delivered! We tried the shared platter which gives you two meats, two sides, bread rolls & cornbread all for just over 20 bucks....We chose the chicken & the pork ribs & the mac & cheese and the collard greens. All tasted great. The cornbread was sweet & more like a cake, but was a nice way to finish the meal! The service was prompt & friendly. It looked like there were a few locals there on a Sunday evening & that was a good sign!More

Great brisket, friendly service, and damn if the collard greens aren't among the best I've ever had. The beer is ice cold, too. Unpretentious and delicious. Brooklyn Brisket at its best.

I was very excited to go to Fletcher's bbq but I was disappointed. Everything I ordered was very dry. The pulled pork was like straw thank god for the BBQ sauce. Portions very small. I won't be returning
