Having been to Nashville to sample real BBQ and then after eating at RUB and the Daisy May's lunch stand, I think Blue Smoke is a pretty good place. We started with Iced Tea, and the cool thing here is that they give you a small pitcher of simple syrup instead of sugar to sweeten the tea. We shared a plate of chicken wings and while the sauce was good, I prefer my wings fried more for a crispier texture so that I don't taste any rubberiness of the skin. We decided to share a sampler plate, hush puppies and mac-n-cheese. The mac-n-cheese is unbelievable - creamy, decandent and delicious. The hush puppies are good - crispy outside and fluffy inside and the jalepeno jam is a nice accompaniment. The funny things is that the best hush puppies Ive ever had are from a BBQ place inside Moeghan Sun up in Conn. The sampler came with chicken, sausage, pulled pork and ribs. The pulled pork was moist and tasty. The ribs were meaty and full of juicy flavor. They only give one piece of sausage but it is spicy and tasty. The chicken wasn't that great. It was kind of bland and forgetable. For dessert we ordered a vanilla milkshake, apple crisp and sticky toffee pudding. The kitchen was cool and split the shake into 2 glasses for us. It was very good. The apple crisp was good and met my expectations. The toffee pudding stole the show. It was more like a bundt cake with a puddingish inside - it was delicious. Overall, for all of this food, the bill was only $75 and the staff was extremely friendly and accomodating.
Pros: Good BBQ, good service
Cons: Nothing major
