This packed barbeque joint is serving up awesome ribs (Texas Salt & Pepper Beef Ribs), perfect mac & cheese and collared greens. Start with the deviled eggs! Jazz music is served on the side.

Great BBQ in Manhattan! We he my husbands 30th Bday here, the food was delicious right from staters, main course & desert. Everything on their menu is great! Great service, thank you for a lovely time

Called the "Bright-Eyed Breakfast Sandwich," Blue Smoke offers a fried egg, pimento cheese, and spicy fried chicken served on some sort of biscuit and doughnut hybrid. Read more

Almost everything is great here.. must be a meat lover though. I wouldn’t recommend to a vegan or vegetarian. I’ve been going for years now, it’s not the same without chef Jean Paul but still good!

Made a veg eater (me namely) a meat believer. Delicious, tried the everything platter, Mac n cheese, kale salad - yummo!Cornbread madelines are out of this world with the maple butter.

The Alabama barbecue wings and cornbread madeleines were the favorites of our group and great for sharing (unlike the barbecue shrimp, which seemed to only be three per order).
Kiwi WangOctober 4, 2016
The wings with the white sauce are mind blowing. And the ribs are good but personally I think the fried chicken is the best. And those biscuits!!!!!
Alison J.May 15, 2016
The whiskey flight is a must! The three meat combo plate gives you a taste of ribs, pork and brisket. Take an order of Cornbread Madeleines home.

Danny Meyer’s contribution to NYC barbecue is probably the fanciest spot on the list, so naturally, you should order the prime rib. Get the Alabama “white” wings, too. Read more

Delicious barbecue smells and foods, including Kansas City and Carolina styles. Reasonably priced, including no tipping. The beef ribs, mac-n-cheese and cornbread were my favorites.

Chef Kenny Callaghan makes exemplary Memphis baby back ribs using a 17-spice blend that sits on the ribs for a day. At $16 per half-rack, they're more savory than sweet and fall-off-the-bone tender. Read more

If it's just too hard to choose, opt for the $23 sampler, which comes with both Texas and Kansas City ribs along with a helping of sauce-slathered Memphis style baby back ribs. Read more

Ask the bartenders about their whiskey selection. Ribs are sub par (no one at our table ate them all), but everything else was great. Brisket can be served lean, medium or fatty too. Get deviled eggs

Superior service - extremely friendly and helpful wait staff. I came here for a special event and our waitress was just phenomenal. The food was also delicious, but typical BBQ foods.

I had the crispy chicken sandwich and it was amazing. I was so surprised by how juicy it was. I asked for fries instead of salad. There are no lunch specials here.
Jeremy RhodesJanuary 28, 2019
Came in on the first day of a new menu and counter-service model at lunch and it was exactly what this neighborhood needed. It’s much cheaper and quicker than it used to be. White wings are the bomb!
Anthony SextonOctober 1, 2018
The chicken wings with Alabama white sauce are amazing. After 8pm, they are 50c a wing too!
Aaron AllonDecember 24, 2015
Blue smoke use-to-be really good. I keep trying to like it again but since they changed their menu the place is really lame - do NOT visit. For excellent BBQ try Mighty Quinn, Fette Sau, or Hometown

Danny Meyer has installed a new chef, in addition to barbecue favorites like brisket and ribs, you'll also find the contemporary Southern cooking of Louisiana-born chef Jean-Paul Bourgeois. Zagat

Carnitip: Delicious spicy and tasty brisket. But a half pound was $19.60. Hill Country may be better.
Bernadette BaumMay 26, 2013
Visit it often and with regularity. Everything we've had, from salt and pepper beef ribs to brisket to burgers and heirloom-carrot sides, has been outstanding :)

Halstead's Local Expert Jeff Tanenbaum says one of the best finds for Jazz, BBQ or both is Blue Smoke. Its a gathering spot for everyone to enjoy great drinks and the best BBQ ribs in NYC.

Very kid friendly!!!! Before your food comes they bring out an uncooked cookie for your child to decorate and then put it in the oven for them to take home or eat for dessert.
Lenny GalloJuly 4, 2019
Excellent BBQ. I recommend their wings. Make sure to use the white Alabama BBQ sauce on whatever you get.
Saibal ChakraburttyMarch 13, 2019
Brisket, deviled eggs, mac and cheese were standouts. Friendly staff and just-enough portion sizes makes this place a must-visit.
Kirsty AllenApril 28, 2016
The Alabama white wings are actually incredible. Everything here is delicious and the whisky cocktails make it perfect
Christopher TaiApril 18, 2011
One of the best BBQ places in the city. It's hard to decide what to order, but their pulled pork melts in your mouth like butter. Order the ribs if you're really hungry, and there are plenty of sides

We ordered quite a number of appetizers so we could sample all different dishes. The chipotle wings were delicious! Best part for me was the seasonal pumpkin cheesecake. Best I've ever had!
Andy HeathJanuary 10, 2017
Notwithstanding comments at top of listing Blue Smoke does not have chicken fried steak on the menu and bartender standing ifo me says they haven't in a long time, but it was great when they did.
Shiv HiraJuly 19, 2011
Advice from a veteran - the move here is to order a bunch of apps/sides, chipotle wings, spicy cheese fries, mac n cheese, cornbread, can't remember is the sausage sampler is still on the menu
Larissa AlvarezNovember 15, 2016
Staff is so accommodating. Mac n cheese is bomb. All the meats were great. Dessert wasn't my favorite & I live for dessert.
Roger SchonfeldAugust 23, 2014
The Texas Salt and Pepper Beef Ribs are extraordinary (although we suspect they have nitrates/nitrites in them). Eat them. Also very good deviled eggs.

The Mac and cheese is soooo good. The place is on the pricey side but so worth it

If this is your first time and you don't know what to eat, ribs sampler is the best choice that you can have. You will have three different ribs and They ar absolutely delicious.

Great place. Huge fan of the wings here, I just wish they offered the regular menu in addition to the Brunch menu on Sunday.
Evan MarcusApril 15, 2016
Try the lamb belly! Awesome. But everything is good there. Come hungry; the portions are big and you'll want a lot.
dave dAugust 29, 2011
the pulled pork sandwich, the fries, the slaw salad, and the burgers are all excellent. house beer is very creamy and wonderful. plus, Jazz downstairs to pull it all together!
Victor QuinnJanuary 21, 2018
Excellent barbecue, mac and cheese is delicious, and the cornbread madeleines are delightful. Highly recommended!

Never had Shrimp Corn Dogs before going to Blue Smoke. It's a very soulful and delicious place to it. Love the Blue Smoke Burger! (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

The BBQ that kicked off the NYC scene and brought great BBQ here. Kid friendly and good for groups. A must try.

Now the restaurant offers a smoked wing doused in Alabama white sauce. We approve. Eight wings for $12. Read more

Lynchburg lemonade is so good! Refreshing! Oh and def get the Mac and cheese...delicious!
Jonathan ExilApril 21, 2018
The Alabama white sauce wings and corn bread mandellins were amazing. Entree are a la carte so browse the sides.

The Ribs are succulent and flavorful; sweet and savory! Our favorite dish was the Mashed potatoes. Rich, creamy and accented by the crispy onions on top. Pure goodness!
Frankie NovickMarch 16, 2011
My favorite place for BBQ in NY. Ribs are delicious, warm BBQ chips and blue cheese dip is a great starter and don't miss out on the rich and creamy mac and cheese
Roseann LoSchiavoAugust 20, 2014
Well I went against the grain and ordered the fried chicken this dish gets 10 clucks it is excellent. The warm BBQ chips make a lip smacking appetizer👍
