Hot Stuff at the Smoke Joint
According to the Brooklynian boards, Fort Greene’s brand new barbecue spot, the Smoke Joint (South Elliot and Lafayette), was already packed on Saturday night.

According to the Brooklynian boards, Fort Greene’s brand new barbecue spot, the Smoke Joint (South Elliot and Lafayette), was already packed on Saturday night. Those who’ve stopped by say they’re serving hearty portions of tasty, not-too-sweet pulled pork, tender, dry-rubbed “Baby (Got) Back Ribs,” creamy and delicious mac and cheese, spicy fries, and a solid selection of microbrews. Can anybody else report on the place? By the time the Brooklynian crew got there, the Joint had run out of catfish — any comments on their seafood selections?

Hmmm…Anonymous at October 31, 2006 05:29 PM– Your loss then. Perhaps you should have checked more closely… Then you might not miss things in life that are good…. lol ;}
We were there on Sunday and it was so dark and dismal looking from the street we thought it was closed.
If I started my own business and it happened to be a BBQ joint I’d sure as heck make it look nice on the outside. I would also make sure lots of natural light penetrated the interior. Sunlight is good and healthy, it stops mold from growing, cuts energy costs with light and heat, keeps the air fresh and tasty, and in general provides a healthy glow to any space it enters. I don’t hate players, where did you ever get that idea?
We finally get something as wonderful as smoke joint and already people want to tear it apart. I personally love the design.The food is fresh and tasty.I will be a regular… Nay sayers my question to you: Have you ever had the guts to start your own business? If you did you would’nt be so dismissive. Player haters come a dime a dozen.
What a welcome addition to the neighborhood! This place is awesome. My wife and I ate there Friday night. The food was outstanding and the vibes good. We were surprised they were already hitting their stride on opening night. We also admired their functional and fabulous design.
their renovation or whatever you call what they did to the exterior is hideous. it looks like a total dump. it also looks dark inside and not inviting since you can’t even see past the glass door. i understand the desire to make a bbq place look like a shack but a sloppy run down shack that’s closed to the street is a little much.
Why put something on the menu that is N/A?
We went on Saturday night too. Delicious, friendly, just great. Seemed to be some kinks in the process – they ran out of many of the items, the food seemed to take a little while to get out of the kitchen, and all they had was canned beer (though didn’t I read they’d have Six Point on tap?) – but the vibe was great, the staff and owners were great, none of those ‘problems’ took away from the experience. Smoke Joint will quickly become a neighborhood fave, for sure.
This place looks really fun. I’d like to go, but don’t want to go alone. Anyone want to meet a new neighbor and try a blind meetup?
