    Ribs are overrated. Stick with the following: Deviled Eggs (delicious with a slight kick), Mac and Cheese, Pulled Pork and Fried Chicken.

    the pulled pork sandwich and Mac and cheese are musts. portions are a bit small, service was extremely slow, but the quality of food would make me come back.

    Genius idea for kids: they being you cookie dough in the shape of a pig with sprinkles for the kid to do the decorating, then take it back to kitchen for cooking, and then bring out the cooked cookie.

    Came here for restaurant week and had chipotle wings, Kansas city ribs, and hot fudge brownie. All were finger lickin good, and the service = top notch. Definitely will be returning.

    it's a small touch, but Blue Smoke has the *best* hand wipes of any barbecue joint I've been to

    Great BBQ meals, a little on the pricey side but always yummy and worth the extra cash. I suggest going there with a group and sharing all the sides because it tends to be hard to choose just one. Sta Read more

    Come for weekend brunch and go nuts with the fried chicken & waffles -- slather on some maple butter and hot sauce... it's a real revelation.

    The ribs were disappointing. The baby back wasnt tasty. The wings were amazing though. The green beans were fantastic also.

    At lunch...I had the Rhapsody in 'Cue which was incredible. The fried bread with caramel dipping sauce was super! Atmosphere and service superb!!!

    Fantastic BBQ, ask for the daily specials - cocktails and fried chicken are always on point.

    I expect great food and service from every Danny Meyer restaurant, and this only gets a pretty good from me. Beef ribs were the best of the rib sampler we had. (2 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

    The Rhapsody in Que is an excellent sampler of most of Blue Smokes specialities and isn't too overwhelming size wise. As others have said, the Mac n cheese is a must have.

    Blue 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.

    Cornbread with syrup is bonkers delicious. Get rhapsody in cue for a smattering of bbq delights.

    If your out-of-town guests like BBQ, this is a cool place to go to. Make sure to get a side of the mashed potatoes, sinfully delicious!

    Great food, always bad service. Then the servers always ask why you only tip 18% and don't even say hello to you. Love the food recommend getting it to go, bar tenders and servers always treat bad..

    Slightly fancy sit-down barbecue. Salt and pepper beef short ribs are the must-order.

    Get the wings. The wings are awesome, and the blue cheese that comes with them is the tastiest I've ever had.

    I definitely recommend the brisket shoulder and can't go wrong with the tomato-based Carolina BBQ sauce.

    Get the dessert sampler - banana cream pie, lemonade cake, chocolate cake, strawberry-rhubarb crisp, key lime pie. Incredible!

    We had mussels, hush puppies to start. The broth on the mussels was good enough to have on it's own. Rib sampler for one was enough for two.
