About John Brown BBQ
Located at 27-20 40th Ave, Astoria, NY 11101, John Brown BBQ operates as a chinese bbq serving Astoria in New York. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as restaurant, so it may cover more than the name suggests.
In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in Astoria; walk-ins are standard and reservations are uncommon outside large banquet restaurants. Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone. Some smaller restaurants in New York are BYOB with no corkage fee; call ahead to confirm. A tip of 15-20% is customary for table service but not expected at counter-order takeout. Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.
The business lists hours on 2 days of the week. The most common schedule is 11:30 AMβ9 PM. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. You can reach John Brown BBQ at (347) 617-1120; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. Its website is johnbrownbbq.net, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.
Customers rate it 4.5 out of 5 on Google across 3,230 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded chinese bbq & roast meats in Astoria.
Astoria is in New York, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Astoria follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

I walked passed this building on a quiet block that didn't look open at first. It had John Brown spray painted on the side, and a small matching sign in the front near a very discreet door with a push here sign on it. The aroma is the first thing that grabbed my attention. The seating arrangements are set up nice, the service is quick, and the food is flavourful.

Ambiance (5/5): Thereβs 3 parts to the huge establishment: front dining tables near the ordering area, then another dining area that is enclosed but open, and finally an outdoor area. It is a Chiefs bar so can get rowdy during game days. Service (N/A): Order at the front and they will call you when your order is ready. Food: This is the best BBQ that Iβve had in NYC so far! The burnt ends were my favorite. The brisket was so juicy and flavorful. The spare ribs were meh but still good by comparison. The hot BBQ sauce was great (not too spicy but has some spice!), thereβs also few bbq sauces that are mustard-based and I enjoyed that one too! The cornbread was SO moist. It was melt in your mouth good. Canβt wait to come back!

I got the pastrami and a side of mac & cheese. The pastrami was exactly what I hoped for. The mac & cheese stood out as incredibly flavorful. Prices were fine, service was incredible. This is my new favorite BBQ spot in the NYC area. Can't wait to come back!

Came here for my aunts birthday. I had a little bit of everything. The pastrami was okay. Iβm not a pastrami person. The brisket was amazing! The burnt ends were one of my favorites. The pulled pork was ok. I Loved The chicken seasoning. The cornbread wasnβt crazy about. It was like a casserole texture. The Mac was creamy but it was ok. Would def come back again! Staff was great at the event.

Been on my radar for a while, but finally was able to come. The food was great! I had the prime rib and pastrami. The sides were tasty and pretty large for a bbq place small size. Definitely want to come back and try more of the meats.
