If you don't feel like reading: I wouldn't and haven't gone back. It's a toss up and highly dependent on when you go. I wish I could give a 2.5/5 to make it even! The first time I went it was a Tuesday night and it was a calm atmosphere. The wings were a good size and overall the food was good and the service was decent. The price is a bit expensive for wings. I recommend the smokehouse burger, it is very heavy but flavorful. The second time it was a complete disaster. It was a Sunday afternoon. Waitress was MIA majority of the time and it was so loud you couldn't hear the person next to you. The food: I ordered fried chicken and not only was it RAW but even the breading lacked flavor. Safe to say I didn't finish it. Person I was with got the French dip and it was BAD. No flavor. Edit: I let this review sit in my drafts to come back in a few and see if we ever decided to go back or even mentioned going back. Nope! We are all the way good! read more

My friend suggested this spot. We came here on a Friday night and there was actually an event happening so we were seated upstairs in the bar area. We ended up ordering the BBQ Platter For 2 ($43), which comes with 4 meats and two sides. We got the sausage, brisket, pulled short rib and spare ribs. Everything was delicious, I really liked the sausage and pulled short ribs. For our sides we got Mac & cheese and corn soufflé which were both solid. Add hot sauce to the Mac & cheese for more flavor. Overall had a solid meal and for the price, you can't get that deal in many places. I highly recommend Bailey's if you're in the mood for good bbq with chill vibes without breaking the bank. * 4.5 Stars * BBQ sauce available upon request * Parking on premise read more

Bailey's Smokehouse is another local spot I used to frequent when I lived in the Hudson Valley. We went on a Saturday afternoon after Jo started craving ribs--and this was the one place I remembered having amazing ribs. Guess what? It's STILL true. There's still plenty of parking and seating, both inside and outside. We were seated promptly and quickly ordered our drinks and food. We started with the Southwestern egg rolls and followed up with the sampler platter for two: pulled pork, ribs, pulled chicken, brisket, baked beans, and sweet potato fries. The Southwestern egg rolls came out hot and fresh, and dipping them in ranch gave each bite a satisfying crunch. Then the main event arrived--and it did NOT disappoint. I won't go on and on about how good the food was (others have done that), but every meat on that platter was packed with flavor: smoky, rich, tender, and moist. You couldn't go wrong with anything. All conversation stopped as we just feasted. My personal favorite was the pulled chicken--each bite left me wanting more. Nothing was drowned in sauce, which let the craftsmanship of the prep work really shine through. We barely had any leftovers, and the little we did save was just to sneak in one more bite later. It was that good. This is hands down some of the best BBQ in the Hudson Valley. 5/5 stars! read more

After giving this place a break for a few years, we tried it again for takeout and the whole family was pleased. Takeout orders are picked up at the trailer next door to the main restaurant. There's plenty of parking either in the lot next to Bailey's or across the street. There are outdoor picnic benches near the trailer, which are probably very popular in summer. The $40 combo for 2 was a nice deal. I ordered two of those for a family of 4. In each, you get to select 4 meats and 2 veggies, so you can really sample a lot. We had baby back ribs, spare ribs (both taste similar), pulled pork, brisket, sausage, dark and white meat fried chicken. For sides, we got spicy greens, fries, smokehouse chips, beans. All meats were tasty. I probably wouldn't go for the sausage again, but it was ok. All ribs were delicious, even the pulled pork was tasty and juicy. Brisket was good too. The fried chicken was great - brined, seasoned, fried. The fries were nothing special. My kids really loved the house chips. I particularly liked the spicy southern greens. Yum! Beans were smoky and good. Portions for the sides seemed a bit small, but you get plenty of meat. It was overall such a nice assortment of food and a great way to determine what you'd want more of for next time. We'll definitely get some again. read more

Just ate here today and already thinking about when I want to come back. The restaurant is VERY spacious, a lot of room to move around and is very clean! We ordered drinks to start and I got a margarita - for $12, it was definitely a strong margarita! We pordered the loaded fries as an appetizer and WOW this dish seriously set the bar for loaded fries. The fries were perfectly crispy and were dressed in ranch and then topped with a ton of cheese and bacon + gravy on the side. YOU WANT THE GRAVY WITH THIS DISH!!! The fries were already amazing on their own but with the gravy? Game changer. For our main meal, we got the Barbecue Combo for 2. And honestly, it's such a great value for $40, the plate is LOADED with meat and if you order 1-2 apps, you could probably get away with serving three people with this dish. We got the baby back ribs, brisket, pulled pork, and pulled short ribs. Everything was so tasty and perfectly saucy! My personal favorites were definitely the brisket and the pulled short ribs. Service was quick and attentive! Overall, I can see why this place was so highly rated. This place also has a TON of parking which is always nice! read more

A group of my friends and I came in to enjoy a bite to eat we were seating downstairs which was nice. It wasn't too busy. Staff was friendly and were ok with our crazy jokesters friends. They were understanding of some of our friends being burnt out and tired and not knowing what to order. When we got it together we ordered the sampler platter it had a bit of everything & burnt ends omg delicious especially the Mac & cheese eggrolls! We got our meals cheeseburger, chicken & cheese quesadilla, pretzel bun chicken sandwich, catfish meal with collard greens, & we got 3 different versions of the bbq sampler for 2 with either Mac & cheese, coleslaw or sweet potato fries. My god lol for warning make sure you skip breakfast to come eat here. We could've share this plate lol definitely took the left overs home to take to work the following day. The smell is so amazing the taste is so good it slaps the crap out of your taste buds. Everyone said they love their food. Lord the pull pork & bbq sauce was pulling. I'm drooling just typing this up. This place is definitely a must have. Especially when it's bbq time. read more

If we could leave more than 5 stars we would ! We were recommended this place by friends and we live an hour away in NJ . Let's just say first off it's worth the drive ! We were seated at the exact time of our reservation and waiter was very quick and friendly to greet us . We ordered the wings as an appetizer and before we knew it they were hot and on our table ! We did the chipotle and bbq and Omgosh I didn't even need to use anything to add flavor ! Meat came right off the bone . Dinner we did BBQ for two and did pulled pork , ribs and chicken . When our friend said there was enough for 4 people they were not joking lol sooo much food and it was beyond delicious (we couldn't even finish it all but made for a great second dinner next day ) . I could have just had the pulled pork all night and been happy but we loved all of it. Meat was marinated and smoked to perfection and the side of mashed potatoes pictured was like a giant scoop of ice cream and loved them. Service was exceptional and management was great. We will def be back more often and be recommending to others as well! Also to add very kid friendly menu and lots of space :) read more

Came here for lunch and had: + Bailey's signature burger pat LaFrieda medium rare: i heard that the pat la frieda are one of the best pats for burgers. When i received the burger it tasted bland. It didnt wow me. It felt cooked rather than medium rare. Overall, i wasn't impressed nor satisfied + Burned ends as appetizer: this was good, it was amazing. I loved it. The burned ends were tasty, tender and well cooked Its quite amazing that the appetizers taste better than the main course... Not impressed by the experience : ( read more

Went here on a recco from a friend. Friendly staff. The burnt ends are the highlight. They're great. As is the corn bread soufflé. We got the four meat sampler. Chicken was great. So was the pulled pork. Sadly, the brisket was quite dry. would still come back but a bit disappointing. read more

I guess for New York this place is OK. It seem to be pretty popular. The wait staff was fairly attentive, even though I had to ask three times for a dessert menu and finally the busboy grabbed one. Outside of that they were very friendly and accommodating. Seating was very quick. I had the sampler BBQ. It was OK however I felt that it could've been much more tender. It seem to be pulled from the smoker maybe an 1+ too soon. The sides were pretty good. The bakes beans were disappointing. They should select a different style of bean So you don't have the feeling of a hard shell on some of them. The appetizers were excellent. I'm curious to try their fried chicken sometime. read more

My first experience was takeout and I was blown away by the portions and taste. Finally, I visited in person and am even further obsessed with this spot. It's a cute pub restaurant setup with ample parking and some cute outdoor seating although currently as we're heading into winter it's not for use. Inside it's bustling and the host is friendly and quick. Upon sitting down our waitress was with us quickly and was very friendly and thorough. As we sat we saw staff cleaning up well and quickly. Our drinks were tasty but simple orders so can't speak much on them overall. The food, egg rolls, French onion soup, short rib grilled cheese, bacon wrapped sausage and corn soufflé were all out of this world. Everything is fresh, quality and soooo tasty. There's nothing I'd change and overall believe the prices were comparable to other spots and fair for what you get. Definitely recommend as it's become a household favorite. read more

I'm a big fan of burgers, and this place is top 5 will come while I'm closed by from work

Horrible take out. I went sat ordered ribs and they gave short ribs .I never ordered. Manager did throw in today corn souffle .which I really didn't want him to do . Just to take note how service is. So today I went back thinking ok this time they gotta get it right. I ordered cornbeef cabbage omg it looked like someone's left overs. So here I go back mind you it's a 20 minute ride. Thinking by time I get there it should be done I was suppose to get cornbeef ,potatoes and carrots and cabbage . Still again no carrots and did get potatoes. And corn beef kids style . to make things worse guy behind cashier thought it was too funny and laughing and kept telling me I had to wait. I literally had to get manager . He said it was outside. But the kid was like no you have to wait. So I started 5:45 my dinner 1st order by the time I got my second order it wasn't till 7 :45 pm . Unacceptable to treat a senior too. Not to mention kid thought it was a huge joke by yelling to me byeeee and laughing. Either you guys need to change or you will be losing a lot more customers . read more

Came here on a Saturday around 6:30, and the restaurant was pretty packed. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. Very chill casual vibes. The hostess was very friendly and nice, seated us within minutes of arriving. For appetizers we got the wings either sweet and hot sauce, but it was mostly sweet. They were good but wish they were spicier. For entrees I got the Smoked Chicken with Garlic mashed potatoes and a side salad. Also ordered was the barbecue sample for 1 with pulled chicken, pulled pork, and . We got macaroni and cheese and the corn soufflé as our sides. Everything was pretty good. Portions were large, lots of leftovers! read more

Decent food, good ambiance, waitress and bartender "never heard of" a mocktail. Seated right away.

The food there today was good as usual. However our server Ashley does not have customer service skills. She was rude and it was hard to get her attention to order more food. Even my 8 year old grandson asked me why she doesn't come to our table. Make sure you get a competent server when you go there. read more

I came to New York from Los Angeles for a vacation, and today, by chance, I chose this restaurant for lunch. I can confidently say this was the best chicken I've ever had, and the sweet potato was amazing as well. It's a very interesting restaurant, operating since 1995. Beautiful atmosphere and friendly staff. Definitely worth the drive! read more

Baileys was highly recommended to us from a number of people, unfortunately we were highly disappointed. I ordered the ribs (baby back) and fried chicken combo with sweet potato fries and corn soufflé. The ribs were dry. Rib meat should fall off the bone. This was far from that. The fried chicken was flavorful, but didn't redeem the ribs. I liked the corn soufflé (but really wanted corn bread). The sweet potato fries were flavorless and just tasted greasy. Overall, unhappy with the entire plate. My husband got the bbq combo platter for 1. He picked baby back ribs, brisket, and sausage (because they were out of the short ribs). Everything was dry -- even the sausage. BBQ beans and cole slaw were both not great Every smoked item we had was dry. Sorry, but this was a once and never again for us. read more

Great bar, exceptional ribs and sides. Can't wait to return and try something different on the menu

Great staff, had a great time Sunday. Pipes and Drums of the Westchester County Police Emerald Society. Followed up by a three hour marathon of Irish/ American Rock by Cousins Moran band. Great energy in the bar corn beef and cabbage was delicious as always. Outside/ Inside bartender were outstanding. Guinness was refreshing and poured professionally. Baileys is the best bar in Rockland County on parade day. GREAT JOB !!!!! read more

It's been a while since we have been to Bailey's and it hasn't changed much! There is now a nice outdoor area with picnic tables and a food truck which would be nice to visit in the summer. We had a reservation and were downstairs and it was crowded and loud! There was 6 of us and it was hard to hear each other. To start we each had a cocktail drink which was pretty good. I had a margarita and you could tell it wasn't with mix which I prefer. Then for app we had the Texas lollipops and potato skins. Potato skins were average but the Texas lollipops were the best thing we ate all night! Delicious with a nice hint of smoke. For entree I had the salad side which was a great salad with lots of vegetables. Then the fried chicken which was crispy and juicy along with the ribs that were good. My other side was the corn soufflé which is my favorite and a must try! My husband had the pulled short rib sandwich and he said it was average. Waitress was very nice and attentive. She checked in with us multiple times. Food is good but heavy, a place you visit every once in a while. read more

Delicious BBQ and Excellent service! Nice cold beverages: what more can a man ask for?

I have eaten in the restaurant and done take out orders. Nothing beats sitting at the bar though. Grab a Guinness and watch a game on TV. The best. Also the menu offers comfort food at its best. Ribs is the big draw and they have lived up to the hype. Picture tasty sauce on tender ribs. They travel well too! I honestly have never had a bad meal at Bailey's. If you want to eat at peak times though, you better try to call ahead or prepare for a wait. This place fills up fast! BTW, takeout orders are picked up across the street. read more

First time coming here in about 20 years since I live close by now, had some take out of 3 sliders 2 brisket & 1 pulled pork, also great fries and the best bbq beans with bacon& onions in them.

Food is heavenly We all love the ribs and corn soufflé Family style meal is a great value Love the leftovers the day after

Was looking for dinner options with meat and found this place online. Very welcoming workers, home style atmosphere but slow service. Unfortunately food was underwhelming, from seasoning of meat to sides & sauces. Meat (ribs /steaks) has to be up to part at the place called smokehouse but it wasn't the case, will not be coming back. read more

Just got the ribs to go, as I had my homemade Hoppin' John and collards at home, and wow were they delicious! The ribs tasted like they'd been smoked right and came with a house-made apple butter bbq sauce. I was so happy we got a full rack. Can't wait to eat them again! Next time we'll try their sides. Well worth it! read more

Me and my boyfriend usually love going here but a couple days ago we ordered takeout (ribs, white meat chicken, mac and cheese eggs rolls, and mash potatoes) and as delicious it was going in, we both had very unpleasant experiences afterwards. we both got really sick ,both vomiting throughout the night. very sad because we love getting our bbq from here. read more

When I'm craving BBQ baileys is one of my go-to's. I'm a huge fan of their lollipops and mac&cheese eggrolls. If your looking to share a meal, get a table buster.

Bailey's Smokehouse - a sign for the eatery - Barbeque Near Me - Blauvelt, New York

My experience here was a solid "good" visit. The ribs are not fall off the bone, they are not tender and are rather chewy. The pulled pork is oily but very tasty. The sausage was decent. Coleslaw and baked beans lacked flavor and depth. The brisket was also decent. Nothing here really stood out to me as being amazing, except for the hostess outside. She was very lovely to converse with and I enjoyed her company very much. The outdoor seating is also pleasant, under a tent to avoid the heat from the sun. Our server was a delight, constantly checking in on us and refilling beer when it was empty. Overall I likely would come back a couple more times in the anticipation the food improves. read more

Let me preface by saying I have not eaten here in years. This visit was to have a few cocktails with a friend that I had not seen in ages. It was pretty busy so I presume the food is still something to write home about. This go round, all I can say is the bartender was great. We had a stellar catch up session and got to catch some hockey. They do have outdoor seating in the weather appropriate months. Service was great. There was a sea of happy faces in the venue. Great for groups, dates and friends. I'll have to come back to update on the food which g is legendary in these parts. I will weigh in soon. read more

My husband and I came here for date night and we absolutely loved this spot. The hostess, the waiter and everyone there was just extremely nice . The service was quick . The food was just out if this world really really good, I can't rave about it . You just have to stop in by and try it for yourselves. We decided to get the mac and cheese appetizers and omg that was soo delicious. For our entrees my husband gotten the fried chicken which he loved everything came out really good and I decided to get the fried chicken and rib order. The ribs were kinda on the dry side but I absolutely loved the fried chicken that's a must get. We'll definitely be coming back here and also the prices were reasonable as well. read more

I'd like to start this review off by complimenting the establishment, ambiance and staff. The staff was caring and everything you can ask for in customer service and the restaurant itself was an awesome little spot in a small NY town. I was excited and had high anticipation however... The food was just disgraceful. We tried the Mac and cheese wontons. They weren't horrible but not what I expected. The boneless wings were nothing more than "Applebees" like, boneless wings out of freezer bags that they fried up. I was extremely disappointed at this point. To establish as a barbecue spot, I was expecting more from the boneless wings. I waited though -- to give the benefit of the doubt. We ordered the $96 dollar meal that feeds 4-5. I figured this would allow us to sample multiple different items and I'd be able to get a good tasting as a barbecue connoisseur. It was well worth the price for the amount of food however, when I saw it, I knew it was too good to be true, and that it was. The sausage was lackluster. The pork was not tender and it was overbearing with flavor in an attempt to make up for it. The pulled chicken was average as were the ribs. But the real kicker... the brisket. How can you advertise as a barbecue establishment and serve brisket that, if I struck someone with it, I would knock them out? The brisket was the driest brisket I have ever had. I really thought it would at least be better than a southern gas station -- it wasn't. It was upsetting to say the least. Besides the food, everything was five stars. The service and ambiance was great. With great food, this would be a place I would make the regular 40 minute drive to. The potential is there. read more

Finally got to try Bailey's last weekend! I had heard great things from the local people I was dining with. I was told the dish to get was the burnt ends, and once we sat down the waitress informed us that they were already 86'd. No worries from me as I ordered mostly what I had planned on getting. I split a combo platter with pulled pork, bbq chicken (white meat), brisket, and sausage. I didn't choose that chicken, it was a little dry for me but I'm a dark meat fan so I'm not knocking them for that. The sausage was delicious. The pulled pork was my favorite. I was a little surprised sauce didn't come on the table or with our meals. The brisket was sadly underwhelming and needed sauce. It was given to us in little to-go containers immediately when I asked. The sides get their own paragraph. 10/10. I'm not running to a bbq joint to get green beans, I promise you that. But when I saw spicy on the menu, I had to. Best green beans I've ever had. I was told it's the same seasoning as the fries that we also got. Those were yummy but I was all about the greens. Next time, I would get greens and mac and cheese. I stole some mac from another person at our table and it was very good, especially with the pulled pork and extra bbq sauce. The sampler apps were great!! I had the wings, mac and cheese egg rolls (SO GOOD), and the Texas Lollipops. I will definitely be coming back to try more of the appetizers. We were seated downstairs. The bar on the main level looked more fun and relaxed but downstairs was better for a big group. For a drink, I had a few sauer peach beers by Sloop Brewing Co. (Elizaville, NY) that were on the menu. Definitely impressed that they had such a range of beer options and used the untappd app. I love sours and they aren't always available. And our waitress was great! Overall, it's a good spot and I want to give it another chance to try those burnt ends! read more
