Best Restaurants Near New York | Blue Smoke Restaurant

"Foodies welcome here"

Life’s too short for boring food

Just like grandma used to make

Farm to fork

Play with your food!

More flavor for less

You deserve it!

See you tomorrow!

Every day is a good day for your restaurant

A taste of home

Taste the difference

When you’re here, you’re family.

Eat Fresh.

Blue Smoke serves up mouthwatering barbecue, sides, and homestyle baked goods alongside delicious cocktails, local and Southern beers, and a wide range of American whiskies. 

Adding to the food and drink, Blue Smoke is most known for its warm, welcoming, and inclusive hospitality. It's a gathering place for all: where families can feel just as comfortable as a couple on a date or a group of colleagues gathering by the bar at the end of a long week. 

Executive Chef Bret Lunsford and the culinary team create food that draws from the diverse traditions of The South. It’s food that feels like coming home.

If you hooked a seismograph to Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group, the readout for most of the last two decades would be boringly predictable. Regular spikes would indicate the orderly arrival of restaurants, with just a few aberrant tremors here and there: the closure of Tabla and, very rarely, a change of chef.

But since the summer of 2013, one quake after another has jolted the needle. The chef of the Dining Room and the Bar Room at the Modern stepped down. Then the same thing happened at the two Blue Smoke locations. Then North End Grill. One at a time, replacements were named. Recently came word that when Untitled moves downtown with the Whitney Museum of American Art, it will get a new chef, too.

This cluster of seismic activity could be a coincidence. Or it could mean that pressure was building for a while; suddenly, the tectonic plates moved. What is clear is that a company with a healthy respect for loyalty and stability has taken advantage of the turnover. The new chefs are far from cautious caretakers; they’ve moved decisively to refresh menus that, in some cases, had begun to stagnate.
