I’ve also been to Al-E-Oops out in Lancaster which was pretty good.

Personally I have only been to the Syracuse and Rochester locations. Syracuse is the original and maybe I was skeptical ahead of time, but Rochester’s location just didn’t quite measure up. It was still good and I would definitely go back to that location, but it has me wondering how well the Buffalo location will stack up against Syracuse. I guess you just can’t top the original when it comes down to it, but we shall see if that changes…

Yeah you’ve got to do some serious branding to make it. If you’re just a restaurant that serves slow cooked pork with a tangy sauce you won’t make it. Half the reason I like Dinosaur so much is because it’s a dirty biker southern blues bar.

I ate at Kentucky Gregs all the time when it was on Southwestern if that is the one I am thinking of. They had Southern fried catfish that was amazing. Also, their gumbo was delicious!

That’s certainly a big part of the appeal, especially when there’s a band playing.

If you’re ever in the village of Angola there is an amazing BBQ joint called desperados. I highly recommend it.

Either way BBQ places all have pretty poor business plans. If you are going to target such a small market keep your overhead low… like lemonade stand low.

This is probably how Smokin Tom’s has survived, it is basically a shack. And it is way better than all those places you guys mentioned. 😉

How do burger places survive? How do pizzerias survive?

Plenty of places out there serve only one type of food (with multiple variations) and do just fine.
