Thank you for 22 years! Since we first opened our doors on 27th Street in 2002, Blue Smoke has been honored to serve up more than just barbecue—we created a community. In 2003, we launched the Big Apple Barbecue Block Party, bringing pitmasters and fans together from across America to our own turf. Over the years, we proudly staked our claim in FiDi, Saratoga Springs, JFK Airport, and Citi Field, blazing the trail for New York’s barbecue scene.
From rousing nights at Jazz Standard and the Blue Smoke Bakeshop to pitmaster takeovers and Rib King wins, the past 22 years have been filled with memories we’ll always cherish. And we’re especially proud of the hundreds of Blue Smoke alumni who’ve carried the flame—opening barbecue restaurants of their own and continuing the legacy in cities across the country.
Though our doors have closed, the spirit of Blue Smoke lives on. We'll see you again...somewhere, sometime.

What people say

Southern American restaurants are known for their delicious and hearty dishes that are perfect for satisfying any craving. Blue Smoke, located on E 27th Street in New York, is a prime example of a Southern American restaurant that delivers on taste and quality.

One of the standout features of Blue Smoke is their barbecue. They have won numerous awards, including The People's Choice Award and the judges' THICC award at a recent event. Their 'Cue Counter also serves up mouth-watering sliders and sides for lunch, making it the perfect spot to grab a quick bite or enjoy a leisurely meal on their patio.

But Blue Smoke isn't just about barbecue - they also offer other Southern favorites like New Orleans-style beignets and creamy Mac & Cheese. And if you're looking to take some of their award-winning 'cue home with you, they even offer shipping discounts.

Happy Hour at Blue Smoke is not to be missed either, with dollar wings every day starting at 3pm. With all these delicious options, it's no wonder why Blue Smoke has become a go-to spot for anyone looking for authentic Southern American cuisine in New York City.
