Had an early dinner and dined in on a Saturday. The waiter was very friendly and knew the specials and entire menu very well. Started with the "Semprenada" of the day which was sausage, broccli rabe, and mozzerla and was not disappointed. Moved on to the Pyro Pork sandwich on Texas Toast which was good as well. The frys were up my alley, thin with the skin and the corn had some tasty seasoning. Washed it down with Stiener Bocknon tap. Want to go back to try the Jughead next. Went back for the Jughead and it was excellent. I recommend saving half for later, it is a big sandwich plus sides.

A group of us wanted to get some BBQ, and we wanted to find a place outside of the overly crowded BBQ spots in Manhattan. Sempre Fame came up as a Google recommendation and boy am I thankful for Google's algorithms this time. We made the trek out from Queens and will definitely be back! The staff seated us promptly and gave us their recommendations. We ordered a spread and nothing disappointed, but there were a few standouts. The brisket and pork ribs were fantastic, as were the beans and corn. Another couple dining recommended the banana pudding for dessert and it was also delicious. The restaurant wasn't crowded but there was a constant flow of takeout orders. Servers were friendly and attentive, and the food came out quickly. Take note that they don't take reservations and there are pictures of the seating getting crowded. Either way, come prepared for some delicious food!

Some guys have all the luck, and did I ever today. Post doctor visit I was looking for something out of the ordinary since I live in Great Neck and work in Brooklyn. The ribs are insanely good. I’m normally a chewy baby back rib guy, which are hard to come by outside of Chicago. I think I’ve found the best ribs on the east coast. I’m also not a st.Louis rib fan. But I am if they come from Sempre I guess. They had an amazing crispy char crust and were tender meaty juicy inside. Not a question of when I’ll be back but how soon. Bravo!

Attention foodies! Sempre Fame is the real deal when it comes to barbecue. When I was considering catering from them, I first dragged my family to the restaurant to be sure we liked the food, and oh my god, it was a HIT! We tried a lot of different items on the menu and everything was a winner. A few weeks later I had a little gathering and put in a catering order. It was quick and easy and the food was just delicious. Know that if you eat in the restaurant it's not a fine dining experience. It's small, quirky, and very casual, and aims for a red neck vibe. I decided to take it ironically, though I'm not sure that's how it was intended. But who cares? The owner is a doll and the food is incredible.

Family wanted bbq and since we were nearby decided to give this place a shot. First service was super friendly. Staff explained what they were famous for and their deals. Excellent and attentive service. The food - we ordered the ribs, brisket, pastrami. Sides were sweet potato mash, corn, fries, macaroni salad, corn bread. The mash was delish. The others were meh. I’m sorry but the cornbread was just bread. Didn’t taste like anything. The meats were all great. Really enjoyed the ribs. Crispy on the outside. Tender and moist on the inside. Brisket and pastrami were tender and tasty as well. Loved all three but the ribs the most.

Please make sure you go here on an empty stomach! I did not expect to find such good BBQ food in the middle of Floral Park! I got the pulled pork Cuban, it was ! Unfortunately it was packed with so much meat (I’m not complaining) I could only finish half! For sides I had the Mac and cheese and sweet potato mash, both heavenly! My husband got the savior burger, and holy shit he needed a savior after he finished it! He is currently in a deep sleep coma! The staff is super friendly and fun! I will definitely be going back and suggest you do to!

Absolutely the best BBQ spot around! I’ve been here numerous times, and somehow, each visit tops the last. Every meat and side dish is consistently cooked to perfection and packed with incredible flavor. The brisket is tender, the mac & cheese is creamy, and the sides—from the corn and coleslaw to the cornbread—are always spot on. The staff are always friendly, welcoming, and provide top-notch service, which adds to the overall great experience. Tonight’s order (pictured below) was the brisket/mac & cheese wrap with sides of corn, coleslaw, and cornbread—an absolute flavor bomb. Highly recommended!
