Blue Smoke Battery Park CityBest BBQ in NYBlue Smoke has the best BBQ in NY - by far. Completely enjoyed my fall-off-the-bone ribs and awesome hush puppies.6/10/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food, great service.Great food, great service. Who could ask for anything more? Do yourself a favor and order the bbq chips with blue cheese and bacon sauce as a starter.. You won't regret it!6/5/2013 12:00:00 AMGood food, but...It was a celebration of a significant birthday, and the restaurant ran out of brisket. Going for brisket on his birthday was the reason our honoree booked Blue Smoke. How does a barbecue restaurant run out of brisket on a Saturday night - seriously?
The staff was apologetic, but no special accommodation was offered. The food we did have was pretty good, but given that we had indicated that this was a significant birthday ahead of time, I wish they would have offered something to offset the fact the desired special meal was unavailable.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food.... Acceptable serviceWe went here for my bday. The food was amazing, the service... Less so. They were very slow and appetizers came out at different times, which is awkward when 6 people are trying to eat 1 ap at a time. It was also getting cold as we were sat by the open wall,most of the staff was great about closing the wall, but one waitress began arguing with the other waitress right next to our table. Again not a good feeling. I should mention our reservation was for 8:45 pm and we were seated promptly. however, as it was after the dinner rush, there wasn't much excuse for the weak service. All in all we will definitely be going back because the amazing ness of the food outweighs the less than great service.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMOutstandingTerrific experience overall. Everything our group tried off the menu was terrific and the service was outstanding. Definitely plan on returning again and again.5/8/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Burger!The burger and fries were fantastic!

We celebrated my husband's birthday on Saturday afternoon and we had our 3-year old great grandson (and other children) along. He loved (we did too) the cookie with sprinkles that he "baked." Great idea. Our server was terrific and she was also helpful with making selections.
We also love the uptown Bluesmoke and go there sometimes for dinner.
Thanks,

The food is incredible, and though they are famous for brisket, pulled pork and other standards of a barbecue menu, I'm personally obsessed with their vegetable burger, which is the best I've ever had. I have introduced many of my friends and colleagues to this delicious burger and now they all go there for just this treat. It's moist, tasty, unique and consistently wonderful.
The service is unsurpassed. On my last visit, which was my second in two days, the restaurant manager as well as the general manager came over to introduce themselves and thank me for my patronage. Not in a pretentious, stuffy way; just genuinely happy for my business. Amazing.4/3/2013 12:00:00 AMAmazingChicken special we had was amazing. Staff very attentive. We will be back!!3/14/2013 12:00:00 AMBest Veggie BurgersI always order a veggie burger...best I've ever had! The service is perfect, friendly always and attentive to all your needs. I always look forward to bringing business associates here for a great lunch.2/7/2013 12:00:00 AM
