This is a nice rustic place by the water that is absolutely HUGE on the inside and on the outside. Too bad we visited for the first time in the winter and missed out on deck dining by the water. Can't wait until it gets warm so I can come back and dine outside. Now, my husband and I love BBQ and we have eaten at a lot of BBQ places: Meat Mitch in Kansan City, KS; Hometown BBQ in Brooklyn, NY; Fette Sau in Brooklyn, NY; Hill Country BBQ in NYC; Brad's BBQ in Anniston, AL and Billy Joe's is at the top tier of the list. The service was excellent. The general manager and the waiter were nice, friendly, and kind. My husband ordered bbq ribs with braised greens, baked beans, and coleslaw with cornbread and sweet tea. I ordered bbq brisket sandwich with coleslaw and a Pepsi. Both of us agreed that our food was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be going back.

This place is so fun. The music was awesome at 1pm on a Friday. The outdoor space looks like it would be wicked fun in the warm months as well. The staff was kind, greeted us right away and our server was very attentive. The food was great. We loved the Mac and cheese bites appetizer especially. Also highly recommend the meat meat and more meat platter to get a little taste of everything.

Today, I'm sharing a delicious BBQ restaurant with a huge patio and beautiful views - Billie Joe's Ribworks. Located about 90 min north of Manhattan on the Hudson River, Billie Joe's reminds you of a Southern smoke shack that was dropped next to a river in the mountains of New York. They have a HUGE patio area right on the water, the views of the river and Mt Beacon were beautiful! They don't take reservations, so be prepared to wait on a busy evening. They also close at 9pm and turn into some type of dance club The portions were very generous, the staff was friendly and attentive and the food was pretty solid! Ordered the Meat, Meat and More Meat - smoked brisket, smoked sausage and pulled pork. The platter was more than enough to share, which is exactly what we did! Cornbread was a little dry and dense, but all the meats were delicious. Beans were spicy and tasty, but a little sweet. Cocktails were well poured and not lacking on the booze If you find yourself in the area, I definitely recommend a stop!

Right on the waterfront, staff was friendly right as you walk in. Place was large and open. The afternoon was nice and doors to the patio was opened. We sat outside to watch the boats.and enjoy the views. The calamari was lightly breaded and cripsy. The Mariana sauce was very nice, wanted to ask foe some bread to dip it in! We ordered some beers, my husband got the Purplet Gatorade drink. I tried it-I didnt taste any alcohol. Was it in there?it was deceptively sweet and delicious. We all ordered sandwiches instead of ribs and chicken. My sister got the Reubens sandwich (triple decker!) with fries. My son got the grilled mac n herself with pulled pork and sweet potato fries, my husband got the legend burger (holy money it was HUGE!) with sweet potato fries and I got a burger with coleslaw. The portions are big. The only person to finish his sandwich was my teenage son. The rest of us were stuffed after eating 1/2 or 1/4 of ours! We were so full. We'd come back for the ambiance, the views and of course the food!

The food was amazing. I ordered the chicken wings and a pineapple margarita. They were both very very good. The service was impeccable. Great decor, you can either sit inside or outside. Wonderful scenery of the river m. Great photo opportunities.

Love the family atmosphere of the restaurant. Great view of the Hudson and the Beacon mountains. Food was great super tasty. Wait staff were very friendly and welcoming. Order a few burgers and an app. Fried pickles were fresh hot and delicious. The Legend was delicious with every bite. Our family ordered The classic cheeseburger and was quote "one of the best burgers I've ever had, balance of cheese and sauce with a perfectly cooked burger." Plenty of food left over except for the legend that was devoured:)

It's getting a 4 for the view which is outstanding. There is both inside & outside dining. The outside dining provides the view. The food was OK. We ordered a loaded potato for an appetizer. It was great. We had brontosaurus ribs and brisket. Both looked EXTREMELY appetizing, but needed the BBQ sauce to bring out the flavor( there was not much seasoning on the meat itself. For sides we had collards, broccoli, baked beans and Mac and cheese. The baked beans were great enhanced by burnt ends. The other sides were unremarkable. The cornbread was dense but tasty. We had unsweetened iced tea & pineapple patron Margarita. There was a mixup with the Margarita, but the waiter quickly remedied the situation.

Went here before for my birthday last year and loved it! Went here again this year with my boyfriend and we had a beautiful little date together. Enjoying some ribs collards and cornbread. I will say I dont remember her name but their was a dark skin young lady about my age and she was a great waitress. The food her service everything was how it should be. I also enjoy going to Billy joes! The ribs fell right off the bone and really tasty! I'm a huge fan of collard greens and they never disappoint. The Mac n cheese bites are to die for !
