Me and my partner ate here for 3 days straight as we were staying right upstairs. This food was the best bbq we have had in NYC! Everything we ate was delicious and so tasty. The mocktails were also delicious, and there was free refills on their soda !

The staff were so nice to us on every day it was a shame we couldn’t say bye to them. The owner gave us free collard greens to try and they were scrumptious. We left no plate unfinished.

We will miss eating here but it made our stay in rockaway so much better ! 🙂

Hosted a cocktail party for 30 ppl and the restaurant did a fabulous job! Had my own personalized menu for food & drinks. Mike the BBQ master was instrumental in the creation of my menu. My guests were blown away by the quality of the food! Susan & Brian the proprietors were so accommodating and truly made my party special. My friends are still talking about the ribs and wings.

I had the opportunity to go to Smoke & Barrel’s 1st Whiskey tasting and food pairing. What a great experience we had.
The andouil sausage {homemade} platter was absolutely fantastic. They also had a terrific duck dish. They served us enough food for twice the people we came with. And the price was well worth it. Not to mention the very creative whiskey pairing. We highly recommend the entire menu as well. Bon appetite.

As a person who doesn’t hand five stars out by default, and a BBQ fanatic whose lived in SC and traveled extensively in the Lone Star State, this is really good BBQ. Lots of great flavor, dry rub, with the sauce on the side. I’d eat here anytime.

Went here for dinner after a beach day, service was extremely inefficient. There were a few large parties and we were told you have to order at the counter, no table service. One person was serving food, taking orders and payments. Brisket is tasty but the cornbread was extremely dry (even melted butter didn’t help).

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Authentic Texas-Style BBQ in New York!

As a born-and-raised Texan, I like to think I know a thing or two about great BBQ, and Smoke & Barrel completely blew me away! The brisket was melt-in-your-mouth perfection—juicy, flavorful, and smoked to absolute perfection. I never thought I’d find brisket this good in New York! No sauce needed, thanks to a stellar dry rub that lets the meat speak for itself.

The beach and cozy atmosphere made the experience even better—warm and welcoming from start to finish. A special shoutout to Mike, the manager, for making us feel right at home and ensuring everything was top-notch. We’ll definitely be back! Smoke & Barrel is a must-visit for any true BBQ lover.

Great way to start a lazy beach day. The brisket was great and ribs were good. Pickles were perfect side to the BBQ. Loved the smoked wings. Loved the homemade ranch dressing even more! Pulled pork was a little too vinegary for me. Laid back with good vibes. It was the owner’s bday and they shared cake with all the patrons. I’ll be back every time I come to Rockaway

My boyfriend and I have eaten here on several occasions and have always enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. We have not been here in several months and decided to go this evening. We were so disappointed. First we sat down expecting waitress service which we always had and no one came over to us. After awhile we flagged down a gentleman who explained we had to order the food ourselves and if we wanted to get a drink we needed to go to the bar and order. I had to flag down a bartender to take my order after standing there for several minutes. Once the food was brought out we knew there must be some change in the pit master. We had specifically asked if the chicken sandwich was all white meat. We were told it was. Unfortunately when it came out the first bite indicated it was not. We were both very disappointed in our meal and unfortunately that will be our last visit to Smoke and Barrel.

I ordered from Uber Eats for the first time yesterday and the food was great and the delivery time was good.

The meal I tried was the BBQ sampler that included Ribs, Brisket, pull pork, bacon strips and Chicken. Then I decided to try their smoked wings with a dry rub.

Now the ribs were delicious and tender. I like the fact that it had the perfect amount of fat and flavor on it. My second best option was the beef brisket. The edges of the brisket were nice and crispy and the middle was nice and tender. Lastly the pull pork was delicious. My overall ranking for these meals were 10/10

The smoke wings/ dry rub was really good I just wished it had a little more seasoning on it.

I’m so glad I tried this spot it’s really a hidden gem. Next time I will be sure to eat in to get a chance to experience the dining and customer service.

A Taste of Texas Right in New York!

As a proud Texan, I’ve had my fair share of authentic BBQ, and I’m thrilled to say that Smoke & Barrel in Rockaway Beach hit all the right notes! The brisket here is top-tier–succulent, smoky, and packed with flavor just like the best you’d find back home.

What made the experience even more special was learning that Mike, the manager, studied under some of the best Texan pitmasters in the business, including the legendary Aaron Franklin. You can taste the attention to detail and craftsmanship in every bite–it’s clear this BBQ is the real deal.

The casual beachside location adds a unique charm to the experience. It’s a perfect blend of Southern comfort and New York cool.
