Where To Eat In Northern Westchester

"Securing great barbecue often comes with a catch, like required pre-ordering or the patience to wait in a very long line. At Smokehouse Tailgate Grill in Somers, you won’t have to dedicate hours to your meal. But you will have to venture to the second floor of a grocery store—DeCiccos, Westchester’s favorite booming chain—and only on Thursday or Friday. The reward: a short menu of juicy smoked meats, plus a smashburger and some deep fried boneless wings in a buttery sauce that’ll force you to construct a giant napkin graveyard. The upstairs space has a large bar full of highlights from DeCiccos’ massive craft beer selection, with the BBQ operation tucked in a corner of the bar. If you want more menu options (and more hours), Smokehouse has two other full-time locations further south." - mike wasserman
