Absolutely delicious!! Sliders are soooo good. The corned beef was addictive. The Waldorf salad was hearty and fresh. The Mac and cheese was ok. Needed more seasoning. Green beans were kinda plain. The chicken was droolworthy. I wish I got more food
Solid neighborhood place I’ve come to frequent! I think it’s great bang for your buck and the food is always good.Randomly I think one of my fav things they have are their salads. Very fresh and tasty. The roasted chicken was dry and just not great but I love the frito pie and their other sliders.
Ordered the brisket dinner with a side or sauteed kale and smoked gouda mac n cheese, the pork ribs, and grilled hotdogs.Ill start with the good- the kale had a great flavor and the brisket was very tender.The not so good-time meat had very little flavor and even with the bbq sauce (which is clearly vinegar based) it didnt give the flavor I was looking for. The mac n cheese was dry and not cheesy- I ended up adding cheese to it when I got home to doctor it up. The ribs were slightly tough and without the sauce there was a heavy pepper flavor to the bark. The hotdogs must have briefly touched the grill. I prefer my grilled hotdogs to have a snap to the skin when when you bite into it and this one was lacking .
Nice lunch specials. Very nice outside seating area. Lots of choices.
Lovely meets in mac and cheese well as dips wonderful customer service, nice restaurant indoor outdoor
Not going to rule them out yet!I enjoy taking advantage of NYC Restaurant Week. This program allows me to try new restaurants. This evening I was excited to try Au Jus, located on Lexington Ave in East Harlem. I selected the NYC Restaurant Week special for $20.21. Im a fan of smoked and BBQ meats. Well, I wasnt impressed. The place was unbusy, so I dont understand why my food was proper preparation, and I received the wrong item? Dont get me wrong; they have potential. But the employees lack customer care and brand loyalty. NYC Restaurant Week is their opportunity to gain new customers, and they failed. So, one star.
Ordered the Whole Chicken Dinner meal. The sides were not properly portioned for 2 people, which there 1st Ave location always gets right. The sides were cold as well and not very tasty (potatoes and kale). The chicken was mediocre. The only saving grace was their BBQ sauce. It was also suppose to come with cornbread, but we just got a crunchy biscuit (not cornbread). I would recommend the 1st ave location over this one.
Man... I hate the direction this restaurant is going. Prices keep going up, quality keeps going down. At least last year, I could afford their beef ribs. Now, not only can I not afford them, but they took away the option to order half portions. It was nice being able to order just 1 or 2 ribs. Smh
Their food is amazing and their service is spectacular! Their Caesar Salad is so good and the roast beef is phenomenal!! I love living upstairs from them!
WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO THIS PLACE? I was there when they first opened, and IT WAS AMAZING. Since then, the prices have kept going up, but the quality DRASTICALLY continues to go down. Do you guys even still smoke your meats?Your so-called smoked chicken is the ABSOLUTE WORST. Its definitely NOT smoked, has the texture of plastic, and is always old tasting.Your beef ribs taste old, BARELY smoked, then reheated in a microwave, or some other meat distroying unit, and the brisket used to be my favorite, but it tastes like your cheating by partially cooking it in a smoker, but mostly in an oven, or steamer.Please go back to cooking, and taking the time to smoke, and offer quality like you did when you first opened.
New location of a favorite spot. The food here is just as good as the original location. Staff are friendly. I had the sliders - sausage and beef brisket sliders. Both were very flavorful, I liked the sausage better. Recommended.
Have eaten here like 4 times. Had most of the menu at this point, and willing to throw down that its the best BBQ in Manhattan, maybe that Ive had in NY.
Delicious, very fresh meals. I love their crab sandwich with avocado and tomatoes, salads are great too. We’ve been trying our different dishes and so far everything has been delicious 😋
Friendly service and some really great bbq! If you eat in, the big bottles of different sauces on the table are great. Some nice ginger ale options as well as the usual sodas. Definitely get the mac and cheese!
Mouth-watering ribs, sliders, sides and desserts! Generous portions at stingy prices, not to mention their promotions! Super friendly and efficient service. I cant recommend enough!
Visited this place during Harlem Restaurant Week. Oklahoma ribs were perfect. Good dose of real American kitchen!
They have a soft opening so menu items are currently $2 except ribs ($1) until Labor Day. Food is really good. The ribs are smoked and fall of the bone tender. I would recommend this place. If your not sure make sure to try it out b4 the prices go up. Im definitely going back.
This place is great. The brisket is the best I’ve had in a long time. Pickled red onions super tasty. Creme brûlée is also very good. Now that they’re open 7 days a week, I hardly cook anymore.
Love the place. Fresh and well prepped. A must try and you will go back again
Walked in today and had the chicken slider, the brisket slider, some ribs and a 1/2 pound of dry rub brisket all of it was amazing! Great food great prices I will definitely back again I only wish they were open all week long
I love this spot...my only complaint is that they recently downgraded the lunch menu and it isnt close to what they used to offer. Other then that its my go to bbq spot in East Harlem. 😉
The food is fantastic! Flavorful and you get just what is advertised. The staff is always accommodating.
Odee valid. Will definitely return.
Their entire menu is excellent! Au Jus is a hidden gem indeed!! If you are looking for a freshly prepared, high quality meal, at reasonable prices, Au Jus is the place to go!!!!
Stopped in on opening day. The lights weren’t even turned on yet! We sampled the ribs, stuffing, chili with Fritos, cole slaw, and lemonade and everything was delish!!! Can’t wait to go back.
Wow!!! The food here is amazing, I have had 3 different meals so far and all of them was just amazing!!
Really good food and cheap! Small menu items so you can get a ton of variety! Very friendly too!
Called for a pickup to walk in when its ready only to find out its cash only, wasnt mentioned over the phone had to waste time at the ATM. Please make it a habbit to mention CASH ONLY over the phone.

2019-09-06I found this little gem of a restaurant by accident and boy was I happy. The food and customer service from Shelia was great! The staff was attentive and I felt welcomed. I had the Oklahoma onion burger, BBQ shrimp salad and the banana pudding....Everything was excellent and the food was fresh! According to Shelia this restaurant has been opened for 3 months now- I will definitely go back. All food sold here is made on the premises...

2019-11-03We usually order from the one on 1st Avenue on seamless... until we realized theres one closer and down the street. The food here is always good! Definitely was craving bbq! We decided to dine in, the only thing is theyre cash only, which was a little inconvenient but otherwise everything else was good.

2019-08-17*Currently cash only* Had two sliders and a Frito chili pie that were super delicious!!! Would absolutely recommend the Oklahoma hots slider, and the pulled pork was juicy and flavorful as well. Not great for groups (biggest table seats 6) but well-decorated, super friendly, and clean. Will absolutely be going back!

2019-06-21New place in the neighborhood. Has about seating room for 26-30 people. Not a complicated menu just straightforward.food is made to order so it might be a little wait. They seem to have in house items like lemonade,barbeques and potato chips. Food I had was good will swing back around if to see if it get any better, check it out.

2022-01-26There are a few Au Jus locations in NYC, but this one is by far the best. Not only is the food fresh and delicious each and every time, the staff is friendly and hard working - and it shows in both the quality of service and the food. I love coming here, and delivery is just as good. Definitely a weekly visit, if not more than that. Try the roast beef sandwich!!

2021-12-10Came here yesterday for take out and as expected service was impeccable, the brisket platter with mac n cheese and cornbread was amazing and filling. Meat was tender and flavorful, mac n cheese was awesome. The cornbread however didnt meet my expectations, it was okay. I always come here when craving brisket. Their sliders are awesome as well. Definitely go to have some great food.

2022-03-01Tex-mex! No question. Excellent food. The jalapeno, pulled chicken sandwich I had was 6 star! Im just not a huge fan of country music — the background — thats all.

2021-09-25I came here because I was craving mac and cheese and was really the few places open still during 4th of July weekend. I was so pleased with their accommodations and the friendliest wait staff. I changed my order from take out to dining outdoors because of it. The beef brisket sliders, white mac and cheese and creme brûlée were so filling and satisfying. They even gave you multiple sauces to try at no extra charge. This place really seems to have a southern/barbecue feel to it and it’s worth to try!
