Blue Oak Bbq - New Orleans

Some of the best barbecue I've had my entire life. Some barbecue places you go to will have bag poured macaroni and cheese and canned green beans, However this barbecue place knocked it out the park with their homemade garlic Mac and cheese, ginger coleslaw and their roasted brussel sprouts. Needless to say the ribs brisket, pulled pork and the turkey was perfectly smoked. Everything was scrumptious!!!! We did order the banana pudding and I would just caution you if you are considering to get this, It does not taste like bananas. The pudding was very gritty, almost pasty, just not palatable, stay with the food stay away from the banana pudding.

Had the sichuan wings and the brisket nachos during happy hour. So good! Not a huge fan of their mac and cheese but a lot of people seem to like them. Will be back.

The Blue Oak promises and delivers. The brussels sprouts were nicely done for a vegetale meant to be bitter. As for the meat, they are all made to perfection and worthy of competition like the Netflix show. It’s the texture first. It’s easy to pull the meat but not disintegrating. We had the pull pork, ribs and beef brisket. The beef brisket was nicely cut and presented. The sauce on the table House BBQ, Jerk BBQ and Spicy Vinegar. We went for House BBQ as it was the best one for the meats we had.

Good happy hour specials. The food was pretty good but the portions were a bit disappointing. Check out the picture of my two item combo. The bread is hiding some of the brisket (which they charge extra for) but not that much. The sides were very generous but the meats were lacking.

I ordered the Pit Viper pulled pork sandwich with a side of macaroni and cheese. The macaroni was good. I figured out that I really don't care for j pulled pork, the meat tasted heavily of cloves. The overall presentation of the sandwich was nice. I appreciated that they used fresh jalapeño.Food: 3/5
