Reviews of Blue's Smokehouse Southampton
S. A.A few weeks late posting this but better late than never.
We ate here on the Friday of jubilee weekend.
After a disastrous attempt at eating at the other bbq place in town the night before, I had high hopes.
Not disappointed at all!
Food was amazing!!!
Brilliant service from start to end.
Great to chat to the manager too about it being new.
Oh and his beer aspirations for the place. 😀
We will be back down again in October and will definitely be paying you another visit.
S. S. (.Pleasant enough experience, food reasonably priced. Cocktails SUPER strong. The onion bundle was really salty for some reason. Portions good, prices reasonable. For me as an experience though it was missing something, I can't place my finger on it, 4 out of 5 stars.
A. P.Went today a few days after opening, food was very good. Ribs were so meaty and tender. Little bit disappointed they had no corn bread, or corn on the cob available for side, but they've just opened so can be forgiven, 4.9 stars was looking forward to some cornbread
W. K.We are so fortunate to have this place just a few minutes drive away from home. Food is stunning, coctails wow, wine great and lovely selection of beers. The staff was also amazing, especially our server Jagoda, you can tell she loves the job she does. Love this place and will continue to visit!
N. C.Went down to Southampton for the day and spotted this restaurant at the end of the high street. The food was stunning and cooked perfectly and the staff are very friendly. Would definitely recommend this place. 10/10
P. T.Lovely customer service, I asked the blonde waitress what beers they had on tap, she then went to bring out individual samples of the IPAs that they did, spoke to me about my taste preferences, ultimately bringing out the best tasting one (beavertown bones) whilst providing lovely conversation and attention.
One of my other party members was trying to decide which cocktail they wanted to try, the two female bartenders were more than informative on the flavour and appearance description, happy to recommend a suitable cocktail (a blue hawaii) for my friend, they could not have been more impressed with their experience, and the drink!
The food (having ordered the brisket and surprising to see tasty burnt-ends was full and authentic to deep-southern flavouring and richness without being too overwhelming to discourage the texture and natural juicy flavour of the meat. The kitchen were more than happy to adjust the portions of burnt ends after trying a sample out of intrigue which could not have been more appreciated and left a very filling and pleasant appetite.
Very happy with how the staff treated myself and the party at my table, the manager themself being more than considerate with if we had any seating preferences and being more than happy to let us take our tine deciding our orders whilst engaging in conversation with us, a real human experience by engaging with us, felt cared for.
The rest of the staff were more than happy taking dietry adjustments to food orders, giving personal recommendations for what they considered myself and my peers would find tasty. I also witnessed other waiters, waitresses and bartenders taking care of each other, asking the kitchen and other colleagues if they needed anything to drink or help with anything, without sacrificing the attention to their customers, truly admirable of the staff!!!
The vibe from the restaurant and its staff, both upfront and the kitchen was friendly, upbeat and just wanting to enjoy a proper blues experience.
10/10 have to visit again!!!
M. O.Repeat visit after a delicious lunch last week. So looking forward to trying out more of the menu. Visited with friends today , waitress was lovely but we ended up sending the cold BBQ beans back . Asked for vegetarian macaroni cheese kids meal arrived dry with chopped frankfurter topping ! The requested cheese with the kids hamburger was missing. The onion bundle side appeared smaller and old. Lots of little things that made a much anticipated visit disappointing. We were given a free cocktail much appreciated and the rest of our order was nice. But with just three tables the restaurant was not overwhelmed.
D. H.Absolutely amazing food, gorgeous cocktails and great atmosphere. The staff are quality could not do enough for you. Big shout out to the chefs, melt in your mouth food. Best mojito in the world and I've had a few. Definitely be back again 10 stars 🌟
N. B.Came here for opening night tonight as they had free food and drink vouchers on offer. Great decor, easy-going friendly american dining, good for lunch or casual dinner. Staff were all very friendly. They had live music which made for a good atmosphere but was waaaay too loud!! Couldn’t hear each other speak. The meat platter was nice, although served cold but can’t really blame them as its their first night and obviously just cooking in big batches to fill orders. Nice flavour of meat and all cooked well, the sauces all have funky flavours which either you’d like or not like. Great choice of meats and cocktails so excited to try more. Would consider coming again to try more. I would say its comparable to Red Dog Saloon but maybe more relaxed?
J. J.Had the most amazing time here, food was honestly something else, burger cooked to perfection, my friends had the brisket which was also amazing.
Ben was especially attentive and friendly. Could not recommend this place more. If they’ve only been open for 3 days and they’re doing this well the future really is looking bright :)
L. K.Been waiting for Blues Smokehouse to open and didn’t disappoint! My friends and I loved the smokey meats and probably went over-board on the sides……but why not eh? Server was great, fab decor & music was awesome! Def going back as soon as I can. Recommend trying it.
I. F."Unfortunately I didn't have the best experience".
I had high hopes when I first saw Blue's in Southampton, I do love a good smokehouse. Unfortunately I didn't have the best experience, I went for the St louis ribs and they came out dry, cold and flavourless, they reminded me of your local supermarket packet ribs. The manager was very apologetic and offered me a different meal but I just took the refund.
Overall Blue's looks good inside and the staff were friendly and helpful but the food this time let it down for me.
Would I go back not sure maybe in a year or so time once it's been opened longer
C. W.I had a brilliant evening here... really really tasty food and very generous portions. Great selection of beers too!! The staff were really welcoming, lovely and kind, and the atmosphere was great. Will be back for sure 😁😁
L. S.Food was good but service was not very good. I was served my drink in a dirty glass that needed replacing. When the food came out we hadn't been given cutlery or napkins and had to go inside to ask for it. We asked for tap water at the very beginning but it came half way through the meal and the waitor said it was because "the jug was in the dish washer and was waiting for it to finish to bring us water". 40% of the soft drink menu was unavailable as we were told stock hadn't come in for the day. I used the disabled toilet downstairs and it was extremely dirty. Food was fine, but probably won't be going back due to service.
D. S.Amazing venue, food was great. Melt in mouth beef.
Ben was great.
Best of luck in the future, we will 100% be back.
Best smoke house in the south. Worth travelling to.
Well done
J. W.Amazing food service drinks and Amazing atmosphere 👌 well done 👏
J. T.While visiting Southampton today, we found this gem while killing time waiting for our return flights. What a fabulous find it was.. food was delicious and service amazing. Thanks guys 😊
T. B.Been here a few times, highly recommended the soo British burger, loving the free popcorn and good cocktails, service is always really good.
M.Good food but I can’t rate it more than 3 stars because of the incredibly strange and rude bouncer. We were close to walking away because of her, we only stayed because we really like the food here but I can’t imagine how many other people have just passed it by because of her attitude . Does a disservice to the business.
J. C.Got taken for father's day, service was brilliant, food was great. All in all was an amazing experience
S. D.Had the brisket which was beautifully tender and tasty. Very friendly and quick service. Will be back.
D. P.Great food and friendly staff. Had the Brisket and was very nice
B. J.Nice place for American-style food and drinks. Our waitress, Jagoda, was super friendly and helpful.
M. G. t. v.Fantastic food and cocktails! The BBQ was equal to the quality in a smokehouse I recently visited stateside!
L. K.Really friendly and polite staff, food tasted great and big portions, couldn’t fault it
P. H.Great food and service. Definitely recommend for a chilled eatery in Southampton city center.

a. b.Lovely food and really nice staff
J.Excited to try this...
G. U.We went to Blue's on Saturday July 2nd 2022 for a birthday meal & weren't disappointed. The young man that served us was fantastic. He went above & beyond to ensure we had a great meal & great service from start to finish. The food was lovely with a great choice & served quickly & the desserts were scrumptious. I even had a lovely cocktail which I don't usually bother with but was glad I did!! The 4 of us are looking forward to returning in the near future. Really pleased Blue's has opened in Southampton & highly recommend giving it a try.
