About Bluestone American BBQ

Sydney Road gets its real-deal low-and-slow fix here, smoking cuts over wood for upwards of 14 hours. Regulars zero in on the multi-meat feast platters—sprawling banquets loaded with Angus brisket, spare ribs, Cuban pulled pork, and crispy pork belly arriving alongside mac and cheese and stone-ground grits. Come midday on Saturday or Sunday, the room shifts into bottomless lunch gear, running through continuous rounds of smoked meats alongside pours like the Ginger Paloma or Cherry Bomb.

  • Pitmaster Feasts: Shared platters like Pitmaster Feast 3 stack wood-smoked brisket, spare ribs, and pork belly with classic sides.
  • Weekend Bottomless Lunch: Saturday and Sunday all-you-can-eat barbecue service paired with continuous pours of signature cocktails.
  • Group Gathering Space: A dedicated rear dining zone accommodates gatherings up to 24 with communal table service.

Before you head over

Helpful recommendations on seating, platter choices, and dining arrangements for your visit

  • Reserve the Rear Area for Large Gatherings

    For large groups or celebratory events of up to 20 to 24 guests, request the rear section to enjoy a semi-private, ambient setting where synchronized feast platters arrive together.

  • Choose Feast Platters for Complete Variety

    If you want to taste a wide spectrum of slow-cooked meats and sides without overthinking your order, opt for feast platters like the Pitmaster Feast or tasting options.

  • Notify Staff Upfront About Dietary Needs

    Staff proactively accommodate guests with allergies and dietary preferences with customized individual platters and vegetarian choices rather than treating them as an afterthought.
