The food was very tasty and good, however 3 of the 4 members of our party were up all night with stomach issues. For a $350 meal we expect much better. The service was excellent however.

Highly recommend you visit Blue Smoke in Battery Park City before their scheduled permanent closure in a few more weeks at the close of 2024.
If you go, don't miss the homestyle deviled eggs that pair well with a side of chipotle raspberry barbecue sauce that you have to request from your server. Other standouts include the pit smoky beans with sizable flecks of brisket, the buttermilk chicken bites with two sauces that put the Chick-fil-a version to shame and the fresh-from-the-fryer oversized New Orleans beignets for dessert showered with a liberal dusting of powdered sugar.
A big shoutout to Noah, an A+++ server who reflects the best qualities of Southern hospitality that reflects the genuine warmth of his small-town Kentucky roots. He really should be training every other server that ever waited on tables in NYC; he's that awesome at polished, proactive and professional interactions with a wide range of diverse customers.
Food is perfect, the service is perfect, the flavor is perfect. I realized this is a perfect restaurant not only when I had my food but also after I visited some so called “great shop”.

The burgers were excellent. The staff friendly and attentive. Even the toilet was clean. Ambience was also good, except for the cold metal chairs.

On the recommendation of the extremely nice and friendly service, 4 of us (2 women and 2 men) had the Rip Sampler with 4 side dishes (mashed potatoes, 2x mac'n'cheese and Cole Slow salad). The food was excellent, the service couldn't be better. Thank you for the great food

Very friendly and helpful staff. We had the rib sampler- it was fantastic. If you like BBQ, I definately recommend going there.
One of the best BBQ food in NYC. Unfortunately the service was very substandard. I can maybe understand if the waiters waited on their own tables. One waiter did his best to ignore us (did our waiter go home early?). Had to get up and go hunt down someone to pay after sitting there like ghosts. Forget about desserts order or water refills. Management take note.

Ordered plain wings and brisket via Uber eats and let me tell you- top 5 bbq places I’ve ever eaten at!! We ate the brisket so quick I didn’t even take a pic. Food was perfect. Even the ranch tasted amazing. Don’t hesitate to eat here!! (Or order Togo)
