I was in NYC for Thanksgiving weekend and ate lunch at the Mason Jar.  It is Gamecocks bar, and we were there because the Gamecocks marching band was in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.  We had a reservation, and we were seated right away.  Unfortunately, it took a full hour to even get a pitcher of water.  The staff working were very friendly, but they did not have enough employees working the day we were there.  I had a classic cheeseburger with homemade tater tots.  The food was outstanding.  We would have spent so much more money on drinks if we had service.  While it was not a good first impression for me, if you are a Gamecocks fan in NYC, you need to check out the Mason Jar.

I recently dined at Mason Jar NYC and it was a fantastic experience, deserving of a full 5 stars. The ribs were incredibly tasty and the brisket, although needing a bit more seasoning on its own, paired perfectly with their flavorful BBQ sauce. The mac and cheese was wonderfully cheesy, though it could benefit from a bit more flavor. The lemonade cocktails were delightful, leading me to try the sweet tea vodka, which has now become my favorite alcohol. We opted for the lunch special, which was well worth it. Our waiter was very nice, providing great service throughout. Highly recommend!

I know this is a bbq joint but I was craving Mac n cheese and tater tots and this place delivered! The Mac n cheese was creamy and the tater tots were crispy and almost had a truffle flavor to it. I’d call them gourmet tater tots since they’re not your traditional looking tots. Very delicious. Will have to return for some bbq food next time!

Delicious and I’m not even a BBQ person! Excellent smoked wings, mac and cheese, and other southern specialities! Everything was amazing. In midtown but usually not overly crowded (unless it’s a game day… but the atmosphere is worth the wait)!

Enjoyed dinner here a little late one night, and it was quiet as a result. good choice of food and drinks, and there were offers available. $5 margaritas, yes please! Would recommend the chicken wings and the BBQ platter, both were delicious, but be warned that the portions are large.
