"Blue Oak has one of New Orleans’s most fiercely loyal and widespread fan bases. The sprawling Mid City space indoors and out is a fun, lively setting for quality smoked meat platters, sandwiches, sausages, amazing wings, and classic sides — not to mention the wildly popular fried chicken sandwich." - Stephanie Carter
"If you can tear yourself away from the brisket and barbecue nachos at this barbecue joint, try the big meaty smoked wings, grilled crispy and swabbed with sauces like Kung pao, jerk barbecue, and Buffalo inferno. Blue Oak fires up some of the best wings in town, and they’re on the happy hour menu, which runs 3 to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. An order of roasted garlic mac and cheese is perfect on the side." - Beth D’Addono
"Blue Oak offers a sunny and joyful location near City Park with ample indoor and outdoor seating for families to enjoy while savoring some of the city’s best smoked meats. Kids will love the ribs, sides, nachos, and specials, as well as the spacious patio." - Eater Staff
"Blue Oak’s specials are always top notch, whether it’s Monday’s red beans and rice or the crowd-pleasing Big Ol’ BBQ baked potato. For Friday during Lent, fried fish specials are on the board: expect dishes like fried catfish banh mi, firecracker shrimp po ‘boys; or a spicy catfish sandwich with spicy glaze, white barbecue sauce, and pickles. Check Instagram for the latest updates on specials." - Clair Lorell
"Blue Oak — so close to the Endymion route — offers catering options including mini bbq muffalettas and finger sandwiches made with choice of brisket, pimento cheese, smoked chicken salad, turkey and sun dried tomato aioli. Get buckets of king cake daiquiri to go." - Beth D’Addono
