I believe this used
to be called Spanky’s and had this cartoon pig dude that anyone would
have to be a total sadist to want to eat. Well Spanky and his barbeque
went buh bye, and they reworked the restaurant to be an old school,
chopped beef focused space. And boy howdy did they make the right
choice. It's not that we like to see the death of a bbq joint or anything,
but despite the place being in the relatively large end of the spectrum,
I can’t say I ever met another human who ate there. Walking into the
cavernous (and completely empty) new space, we were seated at a large,
round table and proceeded to order round after round of beers from
our amiable and quick-witted server, growing ever louder and more
demanding of her time. Luckily the place was pretty much ours on a
weekday night. Not a good sign for the business and what must be an
ear-bleeding lease, but pretty cool for our loud asses. My burger
was cooked perfectly, had all the toppings I could ask for and tasted
just pillowy and delicious. It was honestly a perfect place for a
large-ish group of dudes. If I could remember the desert, I'd most
likely tell you that was damn good too, but I was so busy gabbing
and drinking I most likely inhaled the thing and barely noticed. Everything
in Times Square is super-sized (both for the size of the people and
the size of the groups) and HB certainly fits the bill. [MF] Other Locations: Heartland Brewery (Union Square) Heartland Brewery & BBQ Heartland Brewery & Chophouse |
