Best Bbq in the Fingerlakes. The Brisket is sweet and tender. Beautiful char and smokiness with a blueberry sauce that is to die for. Their sides are incredible and worth the trip by themselves. Their corn bread is so good you will not want to share it. All this made by the nicest couple. Love their chicken and tacos. Can’t wait to try their ribs. Go before Ithaca discovers them and the line is out the door.

Fittnell Barbeque catered a Celebration of Life luncheon for my family and friends. The food was excellent. The meats were all tender and very tasty. The macaroni and cheese, coleslaw were great and the cornbread was to die for. I highly recommend them.

I’ve been craving bbq in ithaca and before Fittnell it was nowhere to be found. The brisket and corn bread were amazing! Eating on the water with a crisp pilsner made for a perfect Friday evening. Could not recommend more!

Phenomenal customer service and phenomenal food. I am not even a big BBQ fan – probably because what I’ve had is not very good. I wish I could give them 10 gold stars. My hubby and I will be eating their food at Deep Dive all summer!

Best barbeque around! Their tacos and smoked chicken are amazing, they make all the salsa and slaw fresh, which adds a nice freshness to the BBQ. Also, their potato salad is delicious with a unique spin! I haven’t had a bad meal from them. The house made blueberry chipotle bbq sauce might be the best bbq sauce I’ve ever tasted, I could literally put it on anything! If you like extra creamy baked mac and cheese, you must try theirs! Happy to see them have a more permanent set up outside of their food truck. Highly recommend!

These folks are at deep dive on fridays and Saturdays. They are lovely people and their food is amazing. I’ve had it twice and both times were consistently good. BBQ is on point and sides are sooo delicious.

I am from Texas and this is the best BBQ I have found in New York. Don’t waste your time going to Dinosaur, you want to eat here!
