With a limited amount of items on the menu, and at slightly higher ballpark prices, we sampled Blue Smoke's fare at a recent Yankees vs. Nationals game. I tried the pulled pork sandwich that was very meaty, even a little too much for my pseudo-vegetarian palate, but had good flavor from the not-too-sweet-not-too-vinegary sauce. I also liked the buttery Brioche bun and the pickles. Keith messily ate the spare ribs and thought they were very good as well, with a nice amount of meat on the bones. Keith's father tried the fried bologna sandwich and commented how it was like a flat smoked hot dog, but again enjoyed the barbecue sauce. Overall, Blue Smoke offers decent barbecue fare for the ballpark. As a personal preference, I may not order it again since I am not the biggest fan of pork. However, I think they have a chicken sandwich on the menu that I would be willing to try next time.
