Stuey's Smokehouse BBQ

Stuey's Smokehouse BBQ, tucked away on Birch Hill Road in the historic hamlet of Locust Valley on Long Island, offers a true backyard‑style barbecue experience rooted in more than a decade of family tradition. Founded in 2016 by a veteran of New York’s restaurant scene, the shop specializes in slow‑smoked ribs, Texas‑style brisket, pork shoulder, and chicken, all seasoned with a house‑made rub that blends locally sourced herbs and spices. Signature plates include the caramel‑glazed burnt ends, the smoky salmon slab, and the jalapeño cornbread that comes warm from the oven. Sides such as garlic string beans, sweet potato mash, and creamy coleslaw round out the feast, while the smoked fish dip is a popular starter for groups. Diners can enjoy the meals at the intimate backyard patio, where string lights and a fire pit create a relaxed, communal atmosphere, or they can pick up a by‑the‑pound order for a picnic. Stuey's also caters private parties, corporate events, and holiday gatherings, offering customizable packages that feature the same high‑quality smoked meats and sides. Although a recent fire forced the indoor dining area to close temporarily, the kitchen remains operational for take‑out, delivery via DoorDash and GrubHub, and full‑service catering through Ezcater. The restaurant accepts phone orders at (516) 277‑2202 and email bookings at info@stueysbbq.com. Prices range from $12 for a single rib slab to $45 for a family platter, making it an affordable indulgence for both locals and visitors seeking authentic Long Island barbecue.
