Fodor's Review:
Ever the pioneer, Danny Meyer led the way for barbecue in Manhattan with a United Nations-like approach representing regional 'cue styles. The menu features Texas salt-and-pepper beef ribs, saucy Kansas City-style ribs, and tangy North Carolina pulled pork on brioche buns. If mac 'n cheese is a weakness, many insist there's none better than Blue Smoke's. Or for something lighter, start with deviled eggs and a blue cheese-topped iceberg wedge. After dinner, waddle downstairs to Jazz Standard, one of the best jazz clubs in New York.

Very Tasty
Posted by Miramar from Boston on 7/15/08
I am not a BBQ expert and I found the food to be quite good. I started off with the Warm BBQ Potato Chips with Blue Cheese Dip. The chips had a robust BBQ flavor and the dip was like a blue cheese dressing with bacon sprinkled over the top. I found this to be very good, though rich. For the main course I had a half rack of the Kansas City Spareribs. There were 6 ribs and each held a bountiful amount of tender meat basted in the Kansas City style sauce. Additional sauce was available on the table and included Original and Kansas City. For dessert I had the Chocolate Layer Cake, which was very moist and served slightly warmed so that the icing dripped into pools on the plate. I really enjoyed all of the items I ordered. My only complaint was that the entree came out much too fast after the appetizer, so that I ended up with both at once. Service was fast and efficient. Try the watermelon margarita for something different-- a twist between the sweetness of watermelon and the tartness of lemon.
