What customers say?

“ The best BBQ in the capital region. I tried several BBQ places in Albany and Troy but Dotty Lou's takes the cake. I have ordered take out from them several times over the course of 2025 and it was exceptional. Anytime I call them and ask questions or make a minor change to my order they are friendly. Wonderful service. The only minor critique I have is I wish the brisket's and pork belly fat was rendered slightly more. Otherwise it is incredibly delicious. I will continue to order and hope to come in person someday soon to comment on the atmosphere. ”

“ We had our 180-person wedding catered by Dotty Lou's BBQ a month ago and we cannot recommend them enough. Joe and his team make absolutely incredible food, were incredibly professional and helpful. They went above and beyond to understand our vision for our reception and ensure that our guests had a fabulous meal. So many of our wedding guests have raved to us about how much they loved the food- many of them saying that it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. Highly, highly recommend Dotty Lou's for catering your next event and of course for dinner any night of the week. ”

“ Absolutely incredible barbecue. I seriously have no words for how good this was. The brisket was phenomenal, full of flavor, and cooked so that it was falling apart soft. The wings - we picked Alabama White Sauce - were quite good as well, crispy, and the sauce was delicious. I love crinkle fries but can never find ones cooked right- apparently the secret is beef tallow! I could have eaten these myself, but shared with the husband. Finally, the banana pudding. Oh my goodness! As good as ones I have had down South. And do you see the portion size? I cannot recommend this place enough. Do yourself a favor and stop by. ”
