John Fazio Farms

The pulled pork sandwich combo for $ 10 comes with two sides and is a lot of food. Sandwich is stuffed with pulled pork and topped with Cole slaw. Dunk in some BBQ sauce and you’re golden. I ate half and saved the rest for another meal. Cute shop inside with lots of Italian goodies to purchase. Also a good stop if you want a scoop or two of ice cream. Overall great food, the pastrami sandwich on rye is a huge hit as well.

Excellent BBQ made from the freshest ingredients. Their butchered meat is top quality. In the shop they sell homemade ricotta and pastas along with honey, cheeses, eggs, bread, steak, sausage and more. Tried the cappuccino Kahlua chip ice cream, it was super rich and had great coffee flavor. Ribs, pulled pork, duck & brisket are all great. You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Definitely check this place out.

Heard about this place and decided to try it. Really good food and the owner is really nice!

I went with the duck and rabbit tacos with a side of potato salad and cornbread. This place is soooo good. The rabbit was cooked so perfectly. I want to go back for the pastrami. I also need to try the barbecue. I can’t believe it took me so long to stumble upon this place.

Must go!!! Best pulled pork sandwhich!!! I generally don’t like pulled pork that much but it was flavored expertly! We pulled in after a bike ride through minnewaska and we were so happy we did. This place is awesome. We also had their homemade ice cream… and oh lawdy. The kahlua and peanut butter fudge was really delicious. Everyone is super nice who works here, I can’t wait to bring my family here.

This is this places first review — so I’ll be thorough. Just opened in the back half of Juy 2014…
Wow. In a world of BBQ places, this one stands out. He raises his own rabbits, ducks, and chickens. He sources his beef and pork very wisely as well. (he is one of those guys that likes to talk to his customers and throw a bit of information out along with the meal). Everything is applewood smoked. I have had his Duck tacos, Rabbit Tacos, Pulled Pork Tacos, and his in-​house cured (21 days) and smoked (20 hours) Pastrami sandwich. I’ve yet to try the ribs and the chicken.
Where to begin? His pulled pork is very good. He knows how to be subtle enough to not drown the meat in sauces and spices. It was juicy and tender, while holding on to the smoke flavor. Highly recommended, however, compared to everything else I’ve had, it’s not my top choice here.
Let’s talk about rabbit. Until this spot, I’ve never had it. The Rabbit taco is Baja style, with a delicately fried tortilla shell, homemade cole slaw, fresh arugula, and the barbecued pulled rabbit. It’s a life changing experience. Rabbit is now firmly in my meat diet after one bite of the taco. The meat is unexplainable. Tender, juicy, not gamey — yet very unique — it definitely dances well with apple smoke. The duck (duck meat I have had before) was also very tender, smokey and stringy (in a good way). It is served the same as the rabbit taco, as is the pulled pork taco. These aren’t your average $ 1-​$ 2 crap heavily seasoned tacos, so don’t expect that. These are a whole other experience, with little to no added seasoning other than what the ingredients bring on their own.
Now…on to that pastrami. I once thought I’ve had pastrami. I was mistaken. Delis know nothing of pastrami. This particular pastrami is a labor of dedication. As he boasts, John cures the pastrami for 21 days, and smokes it for 20 hours. It’s served simply, on a sandwich of large slices of rye bread, and a side of choice. I would choose the cole slaw over all of the other sides. I threw the cole slaw on the pastrami and rye, and it was golden. For being cured 21 days, it’s definitely not too salty or acidic as one would expect. The salt/​spices are present, but they do not overpower the succulent meat. And by the way, Boy is this sandwich meaty. And damn smokey as well. It’s easily the best pastrami I’ve had (with an eye to famous sources of pastrami in manhattan). My wife had one as well, now she won’t shut up about it.
The dining setting is outdoors, under a large canopy, lakeside, with a group of baby ducks roaming freely around the grounds. It’s a very large plot so you won’t feel cramped at all. It has a parking lot, and a farm market attached to the BBQ building. The farm market is very interesting, and he sells his meats direct from the market.
