Every now and then, they advertise 'beef ribs day' and today was it! You might even say 'once in a BLUE moon'! You won't find many bbq restaurants that offer the beef ribs, the default is pork ribs so beef is a nice change-up. You get a 'single' rib, yes, it doesn't sounds like much but it's at least 20 ounces of bbq beef goodness PLUS you get two sides for about $40 bucks! So good and the bbq beans, collards and corn bread are always a hit! read more

This is for the food truck. My gawd. Y'all made me happy. I stopped by during the Strawberry Festival. I honestly had low expectations. I'm a Midwesterner and this vinegar que isn't up to par with with our sweet smokey taste buds. Not to mention we do brisket and not pulled pork. We'll I got a Brisket Sammich and Mac. The ladies suggested I try the Strawberry or Honey Peach sauce. The WHAT???? In all of my years i have never! I rolled my eyes and went to play on my phone. Then I was called. The Sammich was piled high with 4 slices of brisket. Not chopped, no picked apart, no skimpy but thick, hang over the edge moist, seasoned brisket. I took a nibble a said "ohhhh". I like it. That made me grab some sauce. I mean absolutely tiny bit on the side just to see. I tasted the Strawberry and was elated. Its freakn delicious. The strawberry plays so well with the heat and a hint of sweet. The peach was freakn fire. I had to come back and grab 2 Oz of each. I thought it couldn't get any better till I bit into the Mac. It was creamy, seasoned, and cheese; not over cooked either. Baby I knew I was driving to Fort Mill to get me a plate. I'll be down y'all read more

As usual, great service, very clean facility, I like the table service much better that the " old way" food was spot on, burnt ends, brisket, ribs, corn casserole, corn bread, best onion rings ever, and those wonderful pickled onions! Topped off with a complimentary 58th birthday Oreo cheesecake.... read more

I pre-ordered dinner for a birthday party. The brisket was tender, not too fatty. the burnt ends were the reason for the fighting in the kitchen. (Should have got more) and the sides were on point. It was so easy and stress free - ready perfectly on time and the crew raved about the food. I couldn't have asked for more. Thanks! read more

My family always enjoys Blues Smokehouse. My wife always gets a BBQ sandwich and I get wings. Both orders always meet our expectations and is delicious. I my opinion, their wings are the best around because they are smoked, always large and delicious. If you want an appetizer the nachos and fried pickles are excellent choices. The service is good and the restaurant is clean. This is one of the best restaurants around... I will be back soon... read more

Blue Smokehouse & Bar - Wings and slaw - Salad Near Me - Fort Mill, South Carolina

Had dinner here with friends. The weather was nice so we ate in their outside room. Nice menu, attentive service . We all ordered from their platter menu, chicken with brisket, chicken with ribs with sides of green beans, bbq beans, corn casserole, brisket and ribs. Brisket and ribs as a side was an extra upgrade charge . Meals came with toast or cornbread. Food was tasty, came out hot, good portions and reasonably priced. Bottles of various bbq sauces brought to the table. We all enjoyed our meal. Also there was entertainment at the outdoor room, a gent playing guitar and singing. A nice overall experience for all read more

I wanted to update my review as I have had a couple more items! We recently tried their stew and their chili. We absolutely loved both as they are both full of flavor. I would say the stew had a little more flavor, but it also had a little more spice and kick to it. We also tried their smoked turkey at Thanksgiving 2024. They offer a couple of different sizes of turkeys, and we went with the smaller size, however it was quite big and fed plenty. It is so full of flavor, and one of the best smoked turkey's I've had to date. It did take longer to reheat than instructed, so be potentially prepared for that. It is too bad they don't offer sliced smoked turkey on their menu regularly, since it is so good! What we would recommend: *Stew *Brisket Chili *Honey peach smoked wings *Brisket burnt ends *Brisket Chimichanga *Chicken (leg & thigh) *Thanksgiving turkey *Mac and cheese bites *Corn Casserole We really enjoy Blue Smokehouse, even though I wouldn't put it up there with our favorite BBQ restaurants. However, they can do some things really well, that keep us coming back for more. Service has always been great - including being dog friendly on the patio. read more

We had - fried pickles and onion rings - batter is on the salty side - they were good but could have used less salt. The pulled pork on the Cobb salad was good. Next time I'll ask them just to serve it on the tray. Everyone else likes their food though the guys thought the brisket was over done which has been mentioned in other reviews. Nice casual place. read more

Blue Smokehouse & Bar - Cobb Salad w pulled pork & jalapeño dressing. suggest serving it on the trey and not in a bowl. It is so big and lots of pork - Salad Near Me - Fort Mill, South Carolina

This was our first time. We sat out on the patio. Our server was great. She stayed engaged and asked lots of good questions. We started with the burnt ends because the menu stated it was one of their frequent requests. They were dry. Even using the various sauces didn't help. We then ordered a small wings and onion rings. They were a hit. The Parmesan garlic spice was really good. It also came with celery and carrots sprinkled with Parmesan. My husband had a copper and I had a blue moon along with water. I would have given a 5 if it weren't for the burnt ends. read more

Superb bbq. Table favorite was the ribs, but we also had pulled pork, and beef brisket. The corn bread is soft and sweet. Highly recommend the brisket baked beans. Cole slaw is okay. The servers are friendly and are quick with drink refills. read more

We went in for lunch after the strawberry festival today and I'll be so real with you it started rough. To make a long story short we waited about 20 minutes before anyone took our order. Once we got a server she apologized and explained that everyone was spread pretty thin today and took our order. The manager then came out and gave us half off our bill and talked to us for a bit. I also want to note we didn't raise a fuss or anything they just did that because that's what they thought was right. The rest of the time we were there ran super smoothly. The food was great! The chicken was really well seasoned, the corn casserole is wonderful I love it. I didn't have the greens this time but I can vouch for them. Our waitress was fantastic and we had a good time. They just had a little fumble at the beginning. I love this place I've been before and I'll continue to come back. I think it's important to see how a place handles a bad day sometimes to really see how great they can be and it honestly makes me like them more. read more

I had Blue Smokehouse cater a party for 100 and I couldn't be happier with everything. The food was phenomenal, the catering process was so easy and the communication was excellent! I cannot recommend this establishment enough! Thank you for making me look good!! read more

Tucked in a strip mall, the aroma of of smoked BBQ filled the parking lot as I exited my vehicle. On a Thursday evening, the sounds of a country guitar played on their patio for the outdoor guests as it set the tone for my first experience in SC BBQ. The interior is big with nice high ceilings. The entire dining area was tended to by workers who were constantly clearing the tables, sweeping the floors, and asking guests if they needed more BBQ sauce; wonderful personal service. The ordering of the food is register walkup and take your order number to a seating area of your choice. My son and I were very hungry after a long flight so we opted for the "Pick 4" meal (ribs, brisket, chicken, and pulled pork) along with their "Brisket Burnt Ends." The amount of food that was received (along with the sides) was enough to feed a family 6!!! The smoke rings on the ribs and brisket was pronounced with the proper flavors to match. I requested our meats not be topped with sauce so that I could actually taste the quality of the smoke flavor along with the tenderness; it did not disappoint. There are bottles of their BBQ sauce on the table so you can put it on the meats if you so desire. The chicken was very tender and flavorful as well; don't be alarmed at the "pinkish" color of the chicken as it is thoroughly cooked. The burnt ends were also very good but they were slathered with their BBQ sauce. Blue Smokehouse & Bar has modern amenities so you don't get that feeling of an old school feeling BBQ joint. What they do offer you is great customer service and very flavorful smoked meat meal that will deliver nothing but happiness to your hunger and full stomach. read more

Some of the best bbq in fort mill! Great service and always friendly! We love the platter and I love the fried pickles!

Wow, this was a delicious experience from start to finish! We were passing through the area and decided to stop in after reading the positive reviews. We were immediately greeted by a young man who asked us if we had been in before. After responding "no", he told us that we were welcome to order at the counter, have a seat at one of the booths and scan a QR code for a menu or sit at the bar for full service. It wasn't busy so we decided to sit at the bar. We were greeted by Natanya who took our drink orders and provided us menus. Our first impression was that the space was very well taken care of and very clean. We were Natanya's only customer and she was busy stocking the bar supplies. We looked over the menu and everything looked delicious and it was hard to choose. We decided to start with a couple of sides since the items we wanted (French fries and onion rings) were not on the appetizer menu. My wife ordered the brisket burger with the corn casserole as her side. I chose the pulled pork sandwich with mac n cheese. Our fries and onion rings arrived quickly and looked crisp and delicious. We were also given a small carrier with various barbecue sauces and ketchup. Our burger, sandwich and sides arrived just as we were finished with our appetizers and both looked great but the brisket burger was beautiful! Both were stacked full of delicious smoked meat and we really enjoyed them both. My wife loved the corn casserole as well and my Mac n cheese was great too. Overall this was a really great stop and we only wish that Blue was in our neighborhood! We will absolutely plan to come back when in the area. Natanya also took great care of us, check them out! read more

Pulled pork and ribs were delicious - well cooked and seasoned with a great bark. I loved the mustard sauce, but all the others were too sweet for my tastes. Fried pickles were perfect. Onion rings and baked beans tasty. Only complaints - the green bean casserole was incredibly bland and the pulled chicken dry. read more

I live in Mount Holly, and we make this drive because their ribs are some of the best ribs we've had in both NC and SC! They're NOT cheap, but those ribs are excellent! I'm not a fan of their brisket as it's dry and too lean for my taste. I like fatty brisket. Their sides are good, I love their Mac & Cheese, hand cut fries and the corn pudding are delicious! I was very disappointed with their banana pudding because it was full of black overripe bananas. Not good. Overall I would go back, but ONLY for the ribs. read more

Pork and wings are good. Sides were respectable. Service was on point. Restaurant is clean and I like that they changed it from cafeteria set up to table service. Something was off with the sausage. It was not good. The manager came over and discounted the meal because we didn't like it. Good move. However when he explained that they order the sausage from a food distributor and not make it in house, I was kind of taken back. read more

First time and won't be the last! Food was delicious, started off with the burnt end appetizer and they were so good. Got the fried pickles and they were ok to salty for my liking. The main meals were so tasty and portions were good. The brisket burger was very tasty and the collard greens were the best I have had in a long time. The pick 3 was also good and the sides of Mac and cheese, deep dish corn casserole were very good. Service was great Megan was very attentive and checked on us throughout out the night. Loved the outdoor patio as we had our dog and the fans worked well and the music was amazing! We will back for sure!! read more

I really enjoyed this location. The food was very good. The prices were reasonable, and I would recommend this place to others.

I'm writing this review for the queso alone. All the food was good but the queso? That's the star fr. 110/10z

I ordered takeout, which was ready on time and the pickup process was smooth. This review is only about the wings, and unfortunately, they weren't to my liking. I usually enjoy smoked wings, but these were overly salty and had an overpowering liquid smoke flavor that just didn't work for me. read more

Ok... first off get the onions rings.. you can thank me later.. nabbed the brisket sandwich and went with the big boy and was so happy! Brisket wasn't too dry and the fat cap that was there was great. Good dry rub with a hint of sweetness and a smoke ring to be happy about. Great bun and although I am a sweet bbq sauce guy the vinegary sweetness here was very tolerable... I even went back to add some more on the sandwich. Service was good. Food was hot and I'm gonna smell like bbq all day. YES! read more

Blue Smokehouse & Bar - Salad Near Me - Fort Mill, South Carolina

First time visit and our initial impressions are: great ambiance, well coached staff making up sell recommendations. A welcoming bar area full of locals on an early Saturday evening. Nacho's were recommended and were in fact HUGH! Short on protein but .... Brisket sandwich was a generous portion but inconsistent between pieces. I deconstructed the Sammy to eat the brisket alone. Frist piece juicy and flavorful and the rest ...like shoe leather and about as tasty! We are fortunate to have many great BBQ choices and Blue ain't there yet! read more

Ribs. Chicken delicious and they are very generous with their house made fries. They attempt to make some soulful side dishes, but go for the meats, not the green bean casserole, which I found to be a mushy mixture of overcooked green beans and cream of mushroom soup. read more

Really great BBQ in a casual family friendly setting. The portions are very generous. My husband and I split a Pick 2 plate and were very full. My favorites are the pulled pork and beef brisket. The ribs are pretty good too. The baked beans have brisket in them and are better than most that I've tried. We also like the cornbread, which comes warm. I tried the Cobb salad during another visit and it's very good too. It was loaded with chopped bacon, hard boiled eggs and guacamole. read more

A friend suggested this spot so we thought we'd give it a try. Glad we did! We chose to sit outside on an unseasonably warm December afternoon. It got a little cool and the server was happy to turn on the overhead heater to make it more comfortable. Super clean environment and friendly staff. Ella (sp?) was super friendly and responsive. We placed our orders and paid using the QR code on the table. Super easy. The menu has all of your smokehouse favorites. I've never ordered brisket but wanted to do so today. I got the 2-2 plate with brisket and pulled chicken with cornbread casserole and collard greens. Everything was great. The brisket was super tender. I used the mustard-based sauce on the pulled chicken and it was very tasty. The cornbread casserole had a hint of sweet and the collards had a nice "bitterness" to it that I loved. The drinks were tasty and the right strength. I think ours was called the southern Tea (might have the name wrong. Every staff member was super friendly. We appreciated that so much. We will be back! read more

Today I held my husbands 50th birthday party out on the patio of Blue Smokehouse. We've ordered takeout from here since they opened but never have we eaten there to experience the staff and service. So we were taking a little gamble on such a big day. Fast forward to the party. I arrived early to setup decorations and to my surprise there were signs up stating the patio would be closed for a private event. I was so happy they took the time to do this (it's the little things). Hannah our main waitress and her manager (His name is Kyle I think) were awesome. As well as everyone we encountered (bartender was a young lady with a name that started with an N, maybe). They thought of everything from how and when to bring the food out so it would be hot and fresh to having an additional server come out and help with drink orders. I can't believe they did not charge me for the space. The patio is huge! We had so much space to mingle, sit and eat and plenty of room for our buffet and cake. Speaking of buffets, the food was on point!!! Everyone raved about the spread of wings, ribs, Mac and cheese, potato salad, cornbread and garden salad. No guest left hungry or without a to go box :) Thank you Blue Smokehouse and staff for helping me throw a great party and make memories with our friends and family for the first time in a very looooonnnnng time. Thanks The McFaddens read more

Have heard good things about this place, and figured I would stop in for lunch as I was in the area. The restaurant is located in the end unit of a strip center with an outdoor seating area. The space is fairly open with a fair amount of seating and a "U" shaped bar. There are doors that open to an outdoor seating area. Nice open space, even if a bit lacking in character We had limited interactions with the waitstaff as we were able to order and pay off of the app. The waiter seemed on top of things and friendly when he brought our food and drinks. They had 6 - 8 beers on tap, only a couple of which were craft or local offerings. They also have a full bar menu of cocktails and spirits. I would have given them 5 stars if the beer menu had been a bit more expansive The food was terrific, the onion rings were the best I've had in a long time. The pulled pork was very good and the Smoked Pork Collard Greens were great. Looking forward to going back to try other items on the menu! All in all the place was great, and I am looking forward to going back read more

Whenever I'm craving some BBQ nachos, this where I come. I absolutely love the pulled chicken. The mound of nachos you get is well worth the money and it's enough to share, if you want. The other food I've had has all been good. The wings are great if that's your craving. The staff has always been welcoming and I love that they have a patio you can sit at as well as inside. read more

Blue Smokehouse & Bar - Salad Near Me - Fort Mill, South Carolina

It was so easy to order online! It was a seamless process to pick up as well. A very nice lady met me, asked my name, it was ready and warm, and asked if I needed any additional items. They have a great outdoor patio area for eating which I will return to enjoy. Lots of seating inside and the great essence of smoke. Food: Very reasonable pricing for what you get. I got the Pick 2 w brisket and ribs. Good flavor. I loved the corn casserole- it was sweet with a cornbread base. The onion rings were delicious too even though they had lost some crispness from being into a to-go box. Definitely 'an order while there' item. Their homemade ranch to dip them in was also divine. Hubby got the leg/thigh and pork with collard greens and fries. He liked the chicken over pork. The fries were average...collards hood but meat to collard ratio a bit high. Kids didn't like Mac and cheese (pepper) but I thought yummy. Overall, very impressed and will be a repeat customer. read more

Went other day had the wings which are usually the best in town however this is second time wings were kind of old and dry: next door neighbor has had same issue. If they have been cooked and have been sitting around all day it is best to throw away or not serve them. I smoke a lot so I know what fresh bbq or chicken wings are suppose to taste like when fresh and I know how they taste after being out awhile or the yesterdays version. read more

I really wanted to like this place. The BBQ smells good but their concept is wood burning cooking under the food. I'm sorry it's just not good. It has an unusual flavor that I can't get passed. It tastes almost like you're cooking above lighter fluid. I just don't care for it but it was crowded. Perhaps it's worth a one time try to see if it's your cup of tea. Just wasn't mine. read more

Smoked wings and burnt ends as apps were delicious. Ranch and bleu cheese weren't great but not terrible. Ordered the combo dinner. Bone in chicken was delicious alongside the ribs. The brisket wasn't anything to write home about and as far as sides onion rings are top notch and collards are also great. Wasn't a fan of the green bean casserole or Mac and cheese. Girlfriend ordered the pulled chicken and loved it and the kids liked their chix tenders and fries. Overall food was very good and our waitress was really nice and attentive. Would definitely go back for sure! Overall 8/10 read more

Recently we had buffalo wings at Blue and they were fantastic. So good that we went out of our way to get some more via take out. While we waited we sat at the bar and had a beer. About 2 minutes later the wings appeared and we joked with the bar tender that it's funny how fast they were prepared and that they must be leftovers. Surprise, when we got home we saw we were right. The wings were clearly left too long under the lights. While the sauce was good, the wings were like jerky. All dried out and nasty. I called the store and asked for the manager and they asked why? I told her the truth in that I wanted to provide some feedback on a recent visit and rather than post it on Yelp. She said he was busy and couldn't come to the phone. Really? In times like these you would think that customer satisfaction would be a priority. Apparently not. I guess we'll spend our hard earned money somewhere else. We'll also be sure to post our experience in all of our social media groups. read more
