John Stage turned an aging downtown dive bar into a smokehouse here in 1988, and the 246 W. Willow St. flagship remains the original Dinosaur, rooted in Southern barbecue and honored with national awards over the years. This is CNY's iconic-restaurants list credits it for slow-smoked ribs, pork butts and brisket served in a rowdy Franklin Square room. Order the ribs, brisket or pulled pork, and start with the fried green tomatoes.
