NY Dining: Baileys Smokehouse
Bailey’s Smokehouse
136 Erie St E, Blauvelt, NY
(845) 398-1454
Today we got a preview of Bailey’s Smokehouse, the new BBQ restaurant that is to be housed within Bailey’s Blauvelt Inn, an established Bar and Grill place on Route 303, just down the road from the Palisade Center Mall. For you New Jerseyans, thats about 20 minutes up the Palisades Parkway from Northern Bergen County.
The kitchen will be led by no other than Dave “Fink” Finkelstein, previously of Stickey’s (Teaneck) and Fink’s Funky Chicken and Ribs (River Edge)
Currently he is just getting the Barbecue up to spec, and the full menu isn’t ready yet, but if you come in and play nice, you can get Ribs (both St. Louis and Baby Back) Pulled Pork, Brisket and Smoked Chicken.
Bailey’s, on Erie Street just 2 blocks off Route 303 in Blauvelt, NY.
This Southern Pride Smoker, along with a custom rig (both originally from Stickey’s) will be producing the Barbecue. Wood is Cherry.

Define “play nice”.
The BBQ looks amazing, and I think that I’m going to have to make a little trip to try this place out.

Everything looks great! Best of luck with the new place. I can’t wait to try it out.

Your site makes me hungry and I’m thrilled that you’re in my neck of the woods. Do you review restaruants in the South Jersey area?
June 24, 2006 at 4:13 pm
Sounds and looks great. Is there any update as to when the place will be open?

Fink’s provided great BBQ for those of us lucky to have eaten in or taken out from his former hole in the wall establishment in Bergen County. I can’t wait to eat more of his amazing pulled pork and brisket at the new place.
I’m just glad the place is FINALLY opening, cause those of us who went to Stickey’s in Teaneck have been waiting months for the Grand Opening.
Best of Luck to Fink and his crew!

In my expert opinion, this is the best Q in the northeast since the closing of Smokeys in NYC. The best part is that it is 3 miles from my house! My wife says it is to good to last, I hope that she’s wrong. I look forward to making myself sick eating to much.

I work at Bailey’s Smokehouse, and yes we are up and running with a full menu. We have not opened the new dining area downstairs, but it should be open some time ofver the next few weeks. For the time being, the upstairs bar and dining area both have the new menu up and running.
Fink is the man!
Hope to see some of you soon, I am there bartending on Saturdays nights, and will be behind the stick downstairs once we open up.

We had dinner here tonight, we ordered the “tablebuster” which included ribs, chicken, pulled hicken, pulled pork, sausage plus three sides. We chose corn souffle, baked beans and a salad. What a delicous meal, we took home leftovers. My faves were the babyback ribs and the brisket…amazing

I eat there at least 3 times a month st louis ribs and beef ribs are the best. Corn Souffle is out of this world. I even eat the ribs for breakfast the next morning. Cannot wait for the basement to open.

As a BBQ fan, I was very surprised when just happened to find this place one night last summer when I just wanted a cold beer, saw the selection, and decided to try it. Wow!!! Its as good as it looks in the pics. Absolutely unberleivable brisket. Tender, flavored perfectly and best of all, super moist, the sandwich is great. I also like Bailey’s Bombers. This is a plate of three mini sandwiches of pulled pork, pulled chicken, and the brisket. What a great mix, even the chicken stands up to the super flavor of the other two. As a side, DO NOT miss the Bourbon glazed carrots. Finally, I just learned today that they also sell their meats by the pound. Mother’s day just got a whole lot tastier when I pick up a few pounds of brisket for Mom! Its worth the trip, but selfishly, I hope it doesn’t get too popular like my other fave BBQ in the NYC area, Dinosaur.

I live up the road from it…..it has great pizza too!

I can’t beleive I finally found where Stickey’s from Teaneck landed. We were heartbroken when Stickey’s closed, but heard they were moving up to a place in Blauvelt…. FINALLY found it- can’t wait to go!
If it’s anything like Stickey’s, their brisket and BBQ sauces were incredible!!!!

I love this place. When Billy the Kid is there, I feel like its my 2nd home. No other place can you drink and eat all night for the prices they charge. Unbelievable. Keep it up Baileys. No place like it. Right off 303 too.
October 24, 2007 at 6:35 pm
amazing! couldn’t be happier that you’re 5 min. away and i don’t have to drive to dinosaur bbq anymore! keep baking that corn souffle…it’s a winner!

For my 75th birthday I was invited to eat the ribs which I enjoyed. In addition, the cornbread souffle was delicious and I am interested to know the ingredients and if I am lucky maybe the recipe! Thank you.

I just got back from lunch at Bailey’s. This place might have the most fantastic ribs I have ever had the pleasure to eat. The shells in the shells and cheese is cooked to perfection and the collard greens are the perfect blend of bitter and sweet. A must go for lunch or dinner.

Tonight will be my 4th trip there in 2 months, this place is awesome.
