When the legendary Pearson's Texas Barbecue shut its doors in Long Island City, fans of its wood-smoked brisket and ribs—the best in town—were bereft until it reopened, curiously, in the back of Legends, a sports bar in Jackson Heights, Queens, where clued-in 'cue connoisseurs pay much more attention to the pulled pork and tender brisket sandwiches on Portuguese rolls than to the score of the game.

I seriously doubt that this outfit is slow smoking the meat over hickory or mesquite. It is tasteless. Nothing to do with Texas or even good.

this place smokes! - yeah its obvious but true!

I would believe that this place (actually the orig LIC one) is the reason real BBQ is roaring in NYC. The brisket and ribs cant be touched! Incredible. The links are a nice addition (kielbasa) and how could you not want pulled pork? Get the onion rings! A little bit of the sauces is nice you wont need much. Theres one in Manhatan now but I'm staying here... its true southern smoked food, delicious and theres sports tv
