Smoke Joint Catskills

Atmosphere is great, indoor and outdoor seating, friendly staff. Ordered the meal for 4, it was just 2 of us (long drift) The ribs were delicious, juicy, meaty fall off the bone. Nice 1/2 chicken juicy and tender. The brisket and pulled pork very dry. Both me and my husband struggled with them. I had to smother them in extra bbq sauce and still was very dry and tough. I will say we both loved the cornbread. It was delicious. The sides we got were beans, collard greens and mac and cheese , oh and a brownie. The collard greens were good, and the beans, mac and cheese (dry) again… we weren’t fans of. The brownie was quite good though. I would go back because the ribs and cornbread were excellent. But I probably wouldn’t waste the money on the other meats. Maybe it was just that day and our m

We arrived right at opening time and was greeted with welcoming smile. I’m not a huge fan of barbecue usually and am a very picky eater myself, but was very pleasantly surprised myself with the order that we got. It was so good I basically inhaled the 3 ribs my stomach could afford to enjoy. The side we got was mac & cheese (was a bit soggy but still creamy, still good,) corn on the cob (the mayo sauce on top was so good, i wanted to pack the remaining half to go so badly) and corn bread (my husband finished the whole thing by himself) oh and the cole slaw- divine!

One more reason for me to support them, b

Absolutely sick place. The BBQ is out of this world. If you're in the neighborhood or want to take a drive, this is the perfect location upstate to get the real vibe and the locals are great and friendly

Best barbecue place in my opinion! I live 1.5 hours away and this is always a must stop during road trips! The brisket, corn bread, seasoned fries, and BBQ sauce are absolutely the best!! I love the outdoor seating by the water, the large containers of BBQ sauce available on each picnic table, and they are dog friendly.

Stopped in yesterday while traveling home from the NYC area. It was a cooler day, which kept me inside and missing the nice seating area and pavilion-esque structure outside. You can tell this is a smaller, family run operation by the character of the property; this is not a commercial style where you get smoked meat done in several hundred pound increments. It is a smaller homemade batch style where the pit master can improvise and adapt as changes in the wood and the meat keep them on their toes. There was a nice smoke ring on the meat which was refreshing to see; evidently I wasn’t in love with the spice rub on the bark of the brisket but that is 100% my specific palette, and not reflective of quality- there’s a different spice blend for every person. I also found the sauces available a
