Billy KeenlySeptember 15, 2015Nice enough place but all three times I've tried the barbecue it's been unbelievably salty. And I like salty foods.
If you have any questions about what you should be doing with your life, ask Dan.
Ellie DMarch 11, 2013Picklebacks in mini Mason Jars. If that isn't the recipe for a good time I don't know what is.
MarkJanuary 23, 2013Those complaining about the pricing, we may be in Astoria, but we are still in NYC. If you don't like it, don't pay for it.
Not sure who this Dan fella is but there's definitely potential here. The BBQ is a little dry and the tepid water on the table is pretty terrible but like others said, it's better than Blockbuster.
Must order the pulled pork omelet!!! To die for =)
Patrick HealyJuly 12, 2013This place may look good but it's awful. Get up and go to John Brown's. You will thank me. Why spend $100 here and get lousy food when you can spend $20 and get ambrosia? Seriously, get up now.
Matthew WalkerApril 4, 2013They get an A++ in my book. The food was good an they gave me a Game of Thrones Tshirt.
Max FlorenceFebruary 12, 2013EXPENSIVE!!! What is this? Studio Square?? American beer charged at UES prices is treason. Unless you're tuning banjos for Mumford and Sons, you're better off just going to the Bohemian Beer Hall...
Chris RussoJanuary 6, 2013Where the F is my meat and cheese I ordered! After ordering and waiting 30 min they told me there was no meat and cheese and tossed my money at me. Service and staff is rude! Avoid at all costs!
James FiltzDecember 2, 2012Save yourself some time and money. Have drinks here and then walk to @sacsplace for some pizza. The food may be called BBQ but has no smoke and no soul.
- DR GJuly 30, 2015I gasped when I saw the prices - but it must be by weight because the bill wasn't that bad. Don't be put off.
Uber NYCNovember 28, 2013Offering 30% off a speciality cocktail during #QUEENSLOVESuberX, 11/29-12/1.- Marianne AlmeidaAugust 24, 2014OMG OMG, this place sure has a nice atmosphere, but the food really sucks! The pulled pork had no flavor, beans undercooked, my B. Endz beef was so extremely sweet I couldn't eat :( all very expensive
- Max FlorenceJune 2, 2013Ask Dan why the beer is so expensive. Careful, he may charge you extra for the answer.
Daniel GeorgeDecember 29, 2012food is kinda meh but good atmosphere. have a drink and enjoy the band
Tam 🎈November 24, 2013Don't ask for a sweet tea at this 'southern' joint because they don't have anyyyyy.
Contrary to what Dan might say, the Bloody Mary Sue doesn't cut the mustard. As a connoisseur of the savory brunch beverage, I cant endorse. Small, overpriced, unbalanced, and just not tasty. :(

Located in the southern back country of Astoria, Queens, The Strand Smokehouse is a Meat Lovin', Beer Drinkin', Whiskey Shootin' paradise. All of our meat is smoked to perfection (We promise, a guy from Texas told us) and our Bartenders sling only the most refreshing cocktails and local beers (wi...
