Update:  as of 5 pm, 12/5/12, Dinosaur Stamford is open.  Check our review!

Would you believe that we told you about Dinosaur Bar-b-que coming to Stamford way back in April, 2011?  When it became official, the days seemed to drag on and the opening seemed so far away.  Why does that happen, anyway?

So, as we got closer to the opening date, people got more anxious, dripping pools of sweat thinking about ribs, sauce, meaty goodness, and brews.  We’re here to tell you that there is salvation, brothers and sisters.  Yes, we were told that mid November would be the opening of Dinosaur Bar-b-que Stamford, but then something called Super Storm Sandy came along.  That was enough to delay things and push back their final completion.  Yet, we hold the key to your salvation:  the opening date of Dinosaur Bar-b-que.

12/5/12 (A day later than the original date, but that’s okay.  You have more time to fast before you pig out.)

Mark that down on your calendars, people.  In fact, maybe even tattoo that onto the palm of your hand so that you won’t forget.

The menu is getting its finishing touches, but once we get our hands on it, we’ll let you know about what it contains.  You can probably expect small & shared plates, bar-b-que pit plates, custom ‘que plates, speciality sandwiches, their famous sides, and a few new items that will be unique to Stamford.  In the meantime check out:
