Right Meat
Start with cuts that can take smoke, seasoning, and time without losing character.
Wood & Fire
Use hickory, cherry, apple, and maple for depth, balance, and a softer New York smoke profile.
House Recipes
Rub, brine, smoke, slice, and sauce from recipes developed inside the Smoky Rock kitchen.
Family-built, quality‑first, and rooted in Rhinebeck.
Smoky Rock has been a family-run smokehouse since 2014. Our mission is simple: serve handcrafted food with consistency, warmth, and pride in every plate.
Every day, the Psichas family brings a hands-on approach to the kitchen, bakery, and guest experience. That personal care is what shaped our New York-style barbecue and continues to guide how we serve our community.
What is New York Style barbecue at Smoky Rock?
Our New York Style barbecue starts here in Rhinebeck, in the Hudson Valley: house brines, signature rubs, and smoke from hickory, cherry, apple, and maple. We bring those house recipes to brisket, pastrami, ribs, and the rest of our smokehouse menu.
Start with smoked meats and ribs, choose a signature combo platter to share, or plan takeout for the table. Visit the current menu for dishes, sides, and prices, and check hours and directions before your visit.
