Posted on 06/29/2010 by: apfusaro User Rating: 4 I have been a regular at sloes for about 3 years. The secret to a great meal there is ordering properly. The beef ribs are out of this world as is the brisket. The pulled pork and chicken are great. However, when most people think bbq they think baby backs, which at sloes are mediocre. I find them overcooked and dry, almost tasting reheated. The sides are traditional and complement the bbq meal well, with the phenomenal cornbread, coleslaw, mac n cheese, and baked beans being pleasant stand outs. Decor is what is to be expected at a bbq joint and I wouldnt want any bbq place to try to window dress good bbq. Service is iffy depending on who is behind the counter but overall Smoking Sloes is a breath of fresh smoke and one of my favorite tee shirt and shorts places on the north shore.
Posted on 06/15/2010 by: steve-o User Rating: 5 don't listen to the haters that had one bad experience. this place lived up to long awaited expectations, especially for my buddy who basically only eats meat... loved it. food is even better the next day for leftovers because they give you a ton! WAYYYYY better than the other long island "smokin" restaurant if you know what i mean. tastes a lot like my cousin from virginia's backyard bbq, delicious as hell!
Posted on 02/26/2010 by: sirdan89 User Rating: 5 I have had BBQ in Kansas city and this BBQ blows it out of the water. The service is top notch, the owner is always around and very friendly. The meat on the ribs practically falls off the bone its been smoked so long. its got tons of great flavor and 3 BBQ sauces to choose from. The sides are just as good as the ribs and compliment the meal nicely. The cornbread is the best I have ever eaten and a great way to finish the meal off. Out of all the people that gave this place 1 star i have never had any of the problems they are stating. nothing but quality service and food here.
Posted on 01/24/2010 by: John User Rating: 1 We have enjoyed barbecue from other eateries and decided to try Smoking Sloes which is local to us. We purchased a full tray of ribs for our holiday party. It turned out to be a major disappointment as the ribs were almost meatless and did not have the good flavor we have enjoyed. I fact they were gross. The owner was not interested in our complaint. We ended up throwing away almost half a tray of ribs during our party (30 guests). We have had the same guests before which usually make quick work of a tray of ribs from other eateries. $90.00 wasted. I will never go back.
Posted on 09/28/2009 by: Never again User Rating: 5 I saw the article in the NY Times Sunday about the BBQ Buffet. Man, the Times got that one right. They don’t have a lot of space for the buffet table. But they do get a lot of variety out there. BB Ribs, Beef Brisket, Pulled Pork, Chicken and every side on the menu. They’re where no weak links in the chain. This is a sold BBQ restaurant. I will be back again and again. Thanks to the NT Times.
Posted on 09/22/2009 by: zoeybell User Rating: 1 I was very disappointed with my time at smoking sloes. I went in for a late lunch/early dinner and was not even acknowledged by the man behind the counter on the computer. When I asked what he recommended I felt as if i was bothering him. I ordered the pulled pork dinner with mashed potatoes and collard greens. I should have left just from the response from the man and wish I had. Each item was equally bad. I make it a point to give restaurants time to establish them selves before trying them. I can see from the earlier reviews this was a mistake on my part because it has unfortunately taken a turn for the worse. I strongly recommend skipping it.
Posted on 08/22/2008 by: fingerlickinggood User Rating: 5 We enjoyed this sweet, simple & delicious food. Pulled Pork & Brisket were outstanding. Sweet Potatoes were incredible finger licking good! We are looking forward to trying everything on the menu. Northport very much needed this yummy eatery !!! :)~~!
Posted on 05/11/2008 by: B.Kitchen User Rating: 4 The only reason this is not a 5 is the price. I do not think it's overpriced for the food, (and what I am sure he pays in rent and salaries being in Northport after all), but I cannot afford it as much as I would like to eat it! Otherwise, I loved it. I lived in the South for years and this up there with some of the BBQ I had in NC, TN, VA, and AL. I also love the fact that he listens to the needs of his customers and has trained his staff to do the same. PLUS, he has a gluten free menu -- not enough food proprietors do the same. I work with lots of gluten free clients and I recommend Smokin Sloes wholeheartedly.

Posted on 11/11/2007 by: Eat_Drink_Be_Merry User Rating: 5 Excellent ribs, tasty meat falls off bone. Awesome pulled pork. Special baked beans and Cole slaw. Really enjoyed this food.
Posted on 08/10/2007 by: anonymous User Rating: 4 All i have to say is, at the vanderbuilt food and wine tasting, smoking sloes cooked up a storm! Im a person intolerant to gluten so, there wasnt much at the event i could eat. I had some nice choices at this booth and the food was very delectable!
Posted on 06/03/2007 by: food critic User Rating: 3 it has gotten better! When they opened it was obvious they were a novice to the restaurant business but hope they keeps going in route of my last meal good luck.
Posted on 06/02/2007 by: hungry2eat User Rating: 5 We live in the area and wanted to try something new. I was a little nervous becuase of the reviews. My husband and I are so happy that we decided to order anyway. It was amazing. We had the 1/2 and 1/2. The chili and a side of sweetpotato french fries. It arrived right on time and everything was hot. We didnt have to reheat anything. We placed our order on a Saturday night at 7:00. I will totally be ordering or stopping by again. If you are even thinking about trying it - then do it. You will be really happy. I really love the chili. Nice and spicey with a hint of sweetness at the end. Hope Smokin Sloes sticks around Northport for a really long time!
Posted on 05/29/2007 by: BBQ FAN User Rating: 4 My wife and I really enjoyed the BBQ. We will be back.

Posted on 03/22/2007 by: DutchMaster User Rating: 2 Was really disappointed with this place. I live very close and I pass it every day on the way to work. My girlfriend and I split the Pulled Pork Sandwich, and the BBQ Chicken Salad. I decided to call it in and pick it up to ensure it was fresh and hot. I was told 10-15 mins. I got there in 5 and the food was already in the "keep it warm" oven. Drove back to my house and everything was ice cold. The waffle fries with cheese were a congealed solid mass, and had a very strange after-tase. The sandwich was cold and the soft roll wasnt all that good either. The salad was DECENT, but the french dressing i ordered failed to make it to my plate. The salad was very bland although the Chicken was so-so. The two items cost $24 and I can safely say I would have had a more enjoyable experience at McDonalds across the street.
Posted on 03/12/2007 by: themayor User Rating: 1 Very disapointing.We live less than half a mile from here and were very excited about the fact that there was going to be a BBQ rest nearby.Our first try we each had the pulled pork and were disapointed not enough smoking and to much sauce.The cornbread was horrible and served cold,coleslaw was OK.Sweet potato fries were good and the mac and cheese which was recommended to me was awful.We gave it another shot figuring it was the first week.The 2nd trip I had the Brisket and I could only eat two slices it was dry and tough.the baked beans were very good,but not good enough to return.
Posted on 02/25/2007 by: bbqfan User Rating: 5 I thought the food was really great here, They give you great big portions and its pretty tasty. I really loved the pulled pork. The delivery is pretty speedy and stays hot.
Posted on 02/15/2007 by: Northport Foodie User Rating: 5 On the recommendation of a friend that really knows BBQ, I and the family tried Smoking Sloes. Wow! We really found a place to take a family of five. We pretty much tried everything on the menu. My friend was right about the great BBQ and sides. Even my youngest liked the hot dog.
Posted on 02/13/2007 by: foodie101 User Rating: 4 Some of these review are a bit harsh. Even after reading this I decided to try the b-cue here and I enjoyed it. I am originally from Rochester so in my opinion you are not going to get really great b-cue anywhere in LI. Overall Smokin Sloes was pretty good and I will eat there again.
Posted on 02/04/2007 by: maggiesmagic User Rating: 1 One of the worst meals Ive ever had. We live 3 blocks from this place and had it delivered -- it arrived cold. The brisket was like shoe leather covered in hot sauce. I ordered the mildest sauce and it was like breathing fire. The cole slaw was horrendous; the corn bread was stale. Even the sweet potato fries (which we thought was a nice touch) were soggy and cold. Its really a shame -- we had great hopes for this place. We thought -- something different in Northport, finally (Northport isnt known for its interesting cuisine!). Apparently not. Smoking Sloes makes McDs look like gourmet fare.
Posted on 01/25/2007 by: anonymous User Rating: 1 And so it was with great anticipation that we watched for the GRAND OPENING of Smoking Sloes. Sorry folks ... they have the right looking menu but the food is not real BBQ. For starters: the BBQ chicken was way too overcooked and dry ... nice sauce, but it did not stand a chance on the overcooked bird. How about some cole slaw you ask? Tasted commercially made to me and it had an off-flavor. Baked beans (the staple of any TRUE BBQ joint were tasteless - I was optimistic at first when I saw that the chef used a mixed bean theme here - alas the beans were gloppy and tasteless. OK, how about some collard greens? Way, way overcooked and no flavor at all. Macaroni and cheese (how could you go wrong, here?) ... no real cheesy taste - it had the right consistency, but again, no flavor. Skip the caramel apples too ... too much cornstarch. One redeeming item: I actually had a decent wedge of cornbread in my dinner - it was a little undercooked (OK, as long as it was NOT dry and crumbly) ... the recipe was fairly reminiscent *(tasted like it was basted with a little honey when it came out of the oven) of DINOSAUR BBQ in Rochester, Syracuse and now, NYC. Verdict: Sorry, Northport! Why is it that we cannot do REAL BBQ right up here in the northeast? The only thing smoked at Smoking Sloes was my wallet.
Posted on 01/21/2007 by: anonymous User Rating: 5 YEA!!!! Finally a great Bar-B-Cue place in Northport. I ate here today with a few of my buddies and it was awesome. Definitely order the baby back ribs and the brisket they were great. Trust me this place will not disappoint. --Chuck D`s
