I know there are a lot of pet friendly areas in the Big Apple but little did I know that there are restaurants that are serving up the food of man's best friend. Ok, maybe that's false and my statement is a tad harsh but my trip to Daisy May's on Friday night, after a 5 year hiatus, was less than stellar. As usual, the sides steal the show however, the quality of the meats (main courses) was a HUGE disappointment.
My pulled pork was just a pile of mush that was drenched in BBQ sauce, a sauce that had no discernible taste. The ribs were rather tough, lacking flavor, and looked as if they could have just wandered out of a Chinese food restaurant (which would have meant a savings of nearly $15 for that order.) The BBQ brisket was another meat dish that was so sauce-heavy there was nothing to taste other than a mouthful of BBQ sauce.
As I mentioned, it's been a while since I've visited and it'll be even longer before I go back. If this is the best BBQ NY has to offer, a lot of NYers do not know what good BBQ is. A huge let-down that was only made better with a mason jar of sweet tea. At least they still do something right...sides, sweet tea, and bourbon peaches (which should be THE dessert but are on the sides menu.) Red velvet cupcakes at $4/per is insulting.
