Everything is homemade and you can tell the chef is passionate!! All sauces served on the side so you can choose your own sauce adventure.

I can’t wait to go back and eat again.“

“One of our church members had a wedding reception on Saturday and used Westchester picnic. What a great experience! They arrived on time and brought everything for the lunch. They even provide their own garbage bags and containers. In addition, they take away the garbage. But most of all, the food was delicious! The wedding service was a little late in getting started but they accommodated us by staying later. The servers and staff were amazing. Please don't hesitate to use their service. I highly recommend them.“

“I've eaten barbecue all over the country, including some of the legendary smokehouses in Dallas, Austin, Lockhart, and Kansas City, and I can honestly say that Bailey's Smokehouse belongs in the conversation.

Without question, Bailey's serves the finest barbecue I've had anywhere in the NYC tri-state area.

The baby back ribs were absolutely perfect—slow-smoked, incredibly tender, unbelievably juicy, and literally falling off the bone with every bite. The smoky flavor penetrated deep into the meat without overpowering it, creating the perfect balance of smoke, seasoning, and natural pork flavor.

The brisket was moist and flavorful, the sides were outstanding, and every plate showed the care and craftsmanship that goes into authentic barbecue. You can tell this isn't rushed food—it's barbecue done the right way.

The service was friendly, attentive, and welcoming, making the entire experience even better.

If someone blindfolded me and dropped me into Bailey's, I could easily believe I was eating at one of the premier smokehouses in Texas. That's how good it is. Did i mentuon the texas styked sausage stuffed with i think some chedar and amazing seasoning..

If you're searching for authentic, championship-quality BBQ in New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut, stop looking. Bailey's Smokehouse is the gold standard.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely phenomenal. I'll be back again and again“

“Funny thing about our first experience @ Bailey's. I was In town for a radiology glamor shots late on a Friday. I Struck up a conversation with the guy next to me. Asked him if he's local and if he had any recommendations for a good place to eat. He said Bailey's smokehouse. After I was all glamor out we drove a very short distance and we had an amazing feast of some if the best ribs I had ever had. From the sample platter to the maim coures unbelievable. I even somehow nfound room for the 🍎 crisp! Live entertainment on a Friday evening and thus place was packed! So if your ever in the area, you have to experience Bailey's Smokehouse.“

“I love this place and the girls who work there“

“Went to a party there. Felt bad that we had one waitress who had little help, but was really amazing regardless! The food was great! Can’t believe I have never been here! Definitely will be back. Have to try that Bloody Mary!“

“Everyday food just elevated and done right. So good. A definite must go. Owners are inviting and make you feel comfortable and the wait staff is knowledgeable about the menu. First class place. Highly Recommend“

“Went there today for the first time with my wife, I had the 10 West burger, so delicious, cooked perfectly and the burger was huge, just the right number of toppings and the bacon jam hit it out of the park. The sweet potato fries were excellent and enough for two people. The chips that come with the burger were also good. My wife had the regular burger with no cheese and an order of regular fries. She really enjoyed it and said it was cooked perfectly. The staff was friendly, the owner, Mel, greeted us, took our order and chatted with us while our order was being prepared. We were given a little disc that lit up and vibrated when the order was ready to be picked up at the counter. One of the best burgers around! A little pricy, but definitely worth it! We'll be going back for another delicious mouthwatering experience!“

“Incredibly surprised to find this place I will def be back“

“Actually ate at Sam's. Newly updated, renovated space looks great! As always you feel like family when there. We started out at the bar and chatted with Ron then moved to a booth for dinner. Food was fabulous!! Chef came out to talk with us as well. Lovely evening!“

“Food is very good but pricy: every thing is an add on. 4 stars for price of food., special right now is 1/2 off boba drink with purchase of a bowl (3/30/26)
Service was friendly and great, food wait time 10 min for 2 bowls and a platter
Smal place, bar for sitting, however parking is limited with small spaces. (I’d park at Tous Les Jours across the street~same owner)“

“I've driven by this place a billion times and never once gave it a second thought. I'm also not a food truck kinda guy but wow did I just find a new spot to frequent.

Prices are so reasonable considering today's absurdity and the food is great. I had the brisket and pulled pork sandwiches, both tasted great. My foodie fiance loved it as well and she's a tough crowd.

If you skipped this place before, turn back and give it a shot. The guy who helped me was very polite, which is rare to see good in person customer service these days. Trust me, this joint should have way more than 30 reviews.“

“This is the best place in the world I would visit it even if im half-way around the world“

“I highly recommend this place! The food is amazing, and the flavors are unforgettable!“

“Great ribs and sides! Nice beer selection and would highly recommend“

“me agrada mucho la atención y su comida“

“What an amazing meal!!! A must try for all BBQ lovers!!!“

“We had such a great experience here! Everything was absolutely delicious. We ordered the beef noodles with vegetables and the dumpling soup, and both were excellent. The complimentary side dishes were incredibly tasty, and we loved learning that many of the vegetables are grown by their own garden it really shows in the freshness and flavor.

The tea was also wonderful and paired perfectly with the meal.

The prices were very reasonable for the quality and generous portions. We enjoyed everything so much that we even ordered extra food to take home for our kids.

Friendly service, amazing food, fresh ingredients, and excellent value.

We will definitely be coming back.
Highly recommended! ⭐“

“Tried for the first time and it’s out favorite go to restaurant. What yummy juicy hamburgers. Thank you Dan and Victoria for your wonderful service Kathe and Dan“

“It's such a futuristic way of getting your Korean fried chicken. So simplistic so to the point crunch is phenomenal, And even though it's made to order it's still fast! It reminds me of those individual food dining cubbies/booths for people who like minimal contact/interactions during dining that I've tried in Japan before. A lot of the items that I wanted were sold out but the experience was so well that I will go back again in hopes to get those items ☺️

(I'm not a spicy person but if you are the bokki is perfect for you, to me it was too spicy to enjoy unfortunately, even with the cheese added. But everything else about the bokki was spot on delicious!)“

“Really good food. You get buffet style and then you pay by the weight. But i get to pick from so many Ecuadorean dishes that like. I wish i had a place like this in NYC but definitely recommend for the good food and price. I paid $20 for plate, soup and soda. Too much food had to take it to go.“

“We love this place. Great food especially their soups on cold days.“

“I love this place! Jonathan is very nice, and the food is awesome. From the amazing beef chili (very hearty and tasty) to the crunchy footlong(?) corn dog (yum!) and the BBQ Beef Brisket... and the grilled Teriyaki Wings), everything was terrific with lots of flavor. Great service too. Two thumbs up, way up! 👍👍“

“It's sooooo good! Authentic Korean Delicious Food with Great Costumer service and ambiance. See you again next time. 🤩👍“

“BBq the best...................“

“Probably the most beautiful steak you will ever see eevr was made here. I had a sirloin with bacon mashed potatoes and corn and till today I'm still thinking about it. The service was great also and the bread is to die for. Looking forward to my next visit.“

“I love it!! And the place is clean“

“Dined in today and the chicken was so crispy and delicious! It actually tasted even better than takeout. We had the soy sauce flavor and loved it. The tteokbokki here is also one of my favorites. Everything was fresh, crispy, and tasty. Definitely recommend stopping by and trying it!“

“Great food, great people and they sponsor the Doo Wop Dream Machine show every Friday night 6 to 8 PP WRCR.com.“

“The red and yellow capsicum as well as the purple cabbage were a surprise, but the ingredients were prepared separately and it was delicious. Generous serving was large enough for 2. Small but authentic menu!“

“Good chicken that doesn't quite get to great chicken. That doesn't mean don't eat here, just set your expectations appropriately. The name? That's great.

The grilled chicken was fine. It might have been slightly over-roasted, and wasn't exploding with Maillard flavor the way a great fire-roasted chicken is. It comes with two sauces, one a bbq sauce and the other buffalo sauce. Both had very heavy vinegar notes. The mac and cheese could have been cheesier.

Service was fast and pleasant.

Would I eat here again? Yes. Would I go out of my way to do so? Probably not.“
