Truly Authentic in taste and atmosphere – Being from Texas, I had to try this place out. It definitely felt like walking into Goode's BBQ off the Katy freeway in Houston. The beef ribs were extremely tender and the sausage was to die for. I skipped the sides in favor of getting dessert. I don't have to tell y'all that of course the Blue Bell Ice cream was amazing. Although I wish they didn't sell it in those little cups (as opposed to nice big scoops) and had more flavors (cookies 'n creme, anyone?), but still finding it in ... read more

Not only did our party have to deal with table issues, longest wait ever to have drinks served the wait staff and manager were terrible! Rude beyond belief! Audaciously rude! While the food was delicious the experience left only a bad taste in our mouth. Awful considering the expense! One should enjoy paying such a large amount for a completely enjoyable experience instead of feeling stuck in a situation and only hoping the staff isn't spitting in your food!! Definitely NOT the place to RISK an important occasion ending only... read more

Pretty Close to the Real Deal – The space is huge and kitschy, but it works. Lots of exposed beams, painted signs, though I feel like it's still too "clean" (maybe it needs sawdust or peanut shells on the floor, I'm not sure). Got a look at the smoker, they have three industrial-sized machines. They use hickory imported from texas that gives the meat a beautiful dark red ring around it. Brisket was good, not great, but the ribs were excellent. Almost the best I've had here in New York, just a little too much fat for my taste... read more

Best brisket – WOW. I went here after work one day expecting some decent BBQ, but was surprised to find that this place has the best BBQ ? by far - in the city-. The ordering system is strange at first, but you get it. The ?moist? brisket is wonderful, juicy, melt in your mouth heaven. The ?lean? brisket is good as well. Before you leave, head for the ?Sweets and Treats? you got to have the banana pudding, with real bananas and yummy Nilla wafers. Overall the best thing is- you can practically have everything on the menu if ... read more

Welcome to the Lone Star Apple – All shall rejoice. Texas style BBQ now has a new home and it's in New York City. Welcome to Hill Country. 2 pork ribs up from yours truly. We met the owner, Kip, who grew up in Lockhart, Texas and has created a Smitty's style BBQ right here in NYC. Everything is ordered by the slice, rib or link and measured out by the pound. 8 meat choices, 16 sides, corn bread, market cheese and all the fixins you could want in the way or jalapenos, onions and the like. They even had Big Red soda and Lone S... read more

Best BBQ in town!!! – I am definitely a convert to texas style bbq after visiting hill country...although they have some kinks to work out, the quality of the brisket and beef ribs (they had pork too) were amazing...the space is really cool too, definitely doesnt feel like you're in manhattan, and there is live music to boot...highly recommended, but don't loose your meal ticket!

Good BBQ – Given the place just opened, a very good meal. The brisket was very tasty. The pork ribs were not very meaty, but were good. Good sides. They ran out of the beef ribs. The space is very cool, and the concept is interesting. You get a ticket, go around to meat, side and beverage stations, where your ticket is stamped. With the meat, you can order different quantities (e.g., two slices of brisket, a chicken wing and three ribs ? priced by weight). You present your ticket to a pay station at the end of the meal ? the... read more

A good start – From a Texas girl... first of all, they serve Blue Bell ice cream. This is the only time I've found Blue Bell in New York, so I'll keep going back just for that. When you walk in, the hostess hands you a menu card and explains that you order at the counters, seat yourself, pay at the end. Move among various stations for meat, veggies and drinks. Meat is sold by the pound and carved to order. The brisket was really good and the sausage is from Kreuz Market in Lockhart (exciting for Texas people, not sure anyone... read more

Good start – This place is a good start. As a Texas guy (who still visits Austin a lot) they've really made a good effort here. The sausage is great. The brisket is a B+ - but (so far) Bluesmoke has them beat on the brisket front. The lean brisket we had was still too fatty. The sauce is weak. They would be better off importing sauce from a place like Rudy's or Salt Lick in Austin (or better yet, both!). The sides were mostly good. The mac and cheese was bland. The beans were great as was the cole slaw. The system for orderi... read more
