Not yet.....some time in June was last I heard.
You can come by and check out the food at the Big Apple Block Party, though.

not sure why, but deleted.

I was in the restaurant last night for an event. Great space. Very comfortable and unfussy. We ate some of the sausage from Kreuz that they are serving. There's really nothing else like it here in NYC-- from the sausage to the brick holding pits from which the meats are being pulled for service this place is a truly unique entry into the New York 'que scene....That Texas Post Oak smells so sweet when it burns....Give it a shot....and if you can't get in tomorrow, stop by the block party this weekend and you can try out some of the food.....

So is it officially open?

Official opening was yesterday, according to NY Magazine.

My experience has been that BBQ restaurants in New York can take quite some time to settle down to a good standard - partly because food cannot be prepared to order. This is why I am resisting blandishments to try this place before the paint has dryed.
A planned event is a little different, of course.
