We went to Blue Smoke during restaurant week in the hopes of having a good and filling lunch. It was plain and simply bad- both food and service. We arrived just before 3pm to be told that the lunch menu was not available, only the Dinner menu. Our waiter was on his first day so he was not completely to blame but as I surveyed the restaurant, which was only half full, I noticed that sevaral tables were getting impatient waiting for their food. I understood this only too well as it took 50 minutes for our order to arrive at our table. The waiters did not seem to be in a rush on this particular Saturday, they were more busy chatting to each other than serving their customers.
When our food finally arrived it was dissapointing. I had orderred the Texas Salt and Pepper Beef Ribs. Out came a plate of bones with a little meat on them. Well to be fair, 1 of the 4 ribs did have some meat of it, the other 3 seemed to have been scraped of most of the meat before they arrived at our table. My companions were equally dissapointed. They had 2 Blue smoke Burgers and a Pulled Pork Sandwich. All the vegetables that came with our food were either cold or luke warm. The mashed potatos were watery and the salad partially wilted. To serve up this bad meal took 50 minutes and cost us over $150 (including 2 beers and 2 bloody mary's in total)
In short, bad service, lousy food and a complete rip-off. This is not worth a visit.
Pros: Location
Cons: Bad Food, Lousy Service, Over Priced and Over Hyped.
