womanatOctober 2, 2010Baby back ribs are great! One rack is enough for two people. Order two sides: french fries and blue cheese with bacon dip sauce and it will be perfect!
Avin NarasimhanAugust 6, 2014Burger is great. Also highly recommend hush puppies and Mac and cheese.
Margaret MolloyOctober 17, 2015Outstanding choice for people with allergies: menu detailed top 7 allergens.
Alex PyatetskyOctober 2, 2017Reputation was that this was going to be king of NY BBQs. Not even close. Flavors are good, but brisket was dried out. Only sauce is sweet/molassessy. It's an alright place but nowhere near the top.
ChrystieNovember 7, 2014Best Mac & Cheese. Pulled Pork & Brisket. Burgers. Deviled Eggs. Great beer selection.
Ben LugavereOctober 12, 2015Blue Smoke's baby back ribs are comparable to those you would get at Apple Bees; only difference being that they only give you a quarter rack.
Ray LinNovember 10, 2013Classy BBQ joint with tender, juicy brisket and great service and atmosphere.
Hal MillerDecember 3, 2011You can take your time here and enjoy a tasty meal. Plenty of space (stroller-friendly) and great service.
Miss Uniqua MercedesApril 10, 2013Can get really crowded at night but its worth it! Different types of ribs for your preference.
Coble GirlsSeptember 14, 2012Pulled pork, shrimp corn dogs, deviled eggs and the burgers. I can't wait to go back to try the ribs.
Jonathan CohenJanuary 18, 2015It's the carbs that stood out for me. Pure and perfect take on Mac & Cheese.
Sure, it's turning into a chain cm. but Danny Meyer is a pioneer when it comes to service-oriented excellence.
DaveJuly 26, 2013You don't want the pulled pork. You want the brisket. Trust me. This is good brisket.
Ginny ClausenMarch 11, 2012Got a combo plate that happened to include smoked chicken, which I never would have ordered on its own. It was unbelievably good!
Get the sides. ANY of the sides. You won't be disappointed.
Brian ChristopherJuly 1, 2014Salt and Pepper Beef Ribs for sure! And the sweet potato wedges. The dip for the wedges, OMG
The New York TimesAugust 27, 2010Great service and plenty of room make this our best family barbecue restaurant. Bring the kids for beef ribs, pit beans, dessert cookies.
Mike McMeekinOctober 14, 2013Slather everything the Kansas City BBQ sauce, and eat at least a dozen hush puppies
Lee HoffmanJanuary 27, 2013The highlights are the apps and sides - the fried bread, biscuits = delicious
- Hospitality85October 31, 2015Drinks were a bit slow, but the food and atmospfere are Great!! Recomended..
Baby backs are really good here, and not sure expensive by NY standards
Angela WangSeptember 7, 2012Ppl please don't come here, and order a lean salad with everything on the side. Its called good BBQ etiquette.
Frank ValletuttiAugust 28, 2010Warm BBQ Chips + Bacon and Blue Cheese dip...as delicious as it sounds. If you get the Pulled pork be prepared to eat. Huge portions!- Ask for the fry bread with toffee instead of chipotle butter. and get it for dessert!
Julie SonMarch 5, 2012Spacious. Fry bread with chipotle butter is really good. The steak was great. Ribs was dry and hard.
Christophe FourleignieSeptember 20, 2012A place where you can listen to jazz classics while enjoying a BBQ menu
Steve W.August 19, 2010For all my St. Louis people out in NYC, Blue Smoke is one of the few places you can get Fitz's Rootbeer and toasted Ravioli's. Fantastic.
Get the rib sampler for 2, some deviled eggs and the chocolate layer cake - complete with a glass of milk.
Emily HollettMarch 31, 2013Great service, good food... Get the dessert sampler. They are all so good!
Mollly GrayJune 27, 2012Order the porch swing gin cocktail and the fry bread with chipotle butter! Delicious!
Ask at the bar for a Mint Julep - they do them jolly well!- Jason MoloffNovember 20, 2010The best pulled pork sandwich in New York- you can order it any time of the day even if it's off the menu.
The brisket sandwich is the best in NYC. Get it. Love it. Thank me later.

The Blonde GourmandJuly 4, 2012Some of the best BBQ around & amazing drinks - have the blood orange margarita!
