    Warm BBQ Chips + Bacon and Blue Cheese dip...as delicious as it sounds. If you get the Pulled pork be prepared to eat. Huge portions!

    If someone else is picking up the tab, look for the Pappy Van Winkle on the whiskey menu.

    Spacious. Fry bread with chipotle butter is really good. The steak was great. Ribs was dry and hard.

    Not going to get the Mac and cheese again. It wasn't that special and it was about $7!!! Baby back ribs are delicious.

    For 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.

    Apparently, they've replaced the creamed spinach with sautéed spinach for the summer months. Sniff...

    Good brisket (as long as you order it lean). I thought the Mac and cheese was too rich/ cheesy (crazy, I know).

    quite possibly the best mac+cheese in the city. it's real mac+cheese too, not pasta+cheese (i detest those).
