Blue Oak BBQ 900 North Carrollton Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70119

"We find that the Blue Oak BBQ is one of the best we have ever seen. The food had always been delicious, no matter what we have had there. The service is also always good, prompt and friendly. This place can get very busy, especially around lunchtime, but the line moves very fast. Another plus is it’s also very convenient to the bus and streetcar lines."

"Hot damn, what a neighborhood treasure. Meats were spot-on, and everything else had interesting updates to traditional fare. The Brussels sprouts were heavenly, and the cinnamon accented sauce was delicious and unexpected. Can't wait to go back for another meal!"

"Hands down the best brisket I’ve ever eaten. I asked for mine fatty. Love that you get a choice! The ribs were tender and flavorful. The cole slaw was actually delicious, nothing like the usual standards—it was crisp and hearty instead of flat and watery. Unfortunately the mac and cheese did not taste like roasted garlic as advertised—just creole spice, which made it inedible to me, especially with the crunch on top, which seemed like an afterthought and wasn’t baked in. The banana pudding was good. Needed more wafers in my opinion. But damn, I’ll be back for the brisket. The two-meat two sides platter was enough for two people for lunch."

"Our food took quite a while to get to us but at least it was very good when it did. We arrived about 2:15 on a Sunday and they were already sold out of ribs. So we had brisket, pulled pork and chicken wings with potato salad and mac & cheese. All very good. We sat inside but they also have a large outside seating area. A nice atmosphere and good food."

"We recently dined here and it was a delightful experience. The brussels sprouts were a surprising standout, perfectly roasted and seasoned. The baked beans had a sweet and smoky flavor that complemented the meats well. The pulled pork was tender and flavorful, while the chopped brisket was rich and satisfying. The pulled pork nachos were a creative twist, combining the smokiness of the meat with cheesy goodness. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the staff was friendly. Definitely recommend trying this spot for a indoor/outdoor BBQ vibe in NOLA!"
