Southern-style comfort food isn’t hard to come by in Brooklyn these days, but Mable’s Smokehouse, which just opened on North 11th and Berry in the Greenpoint/North Williamsburg area, is offering something unique in the way of experience and style that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Offering up excellent sandwiches and platters, with an exceptional array of sides and desserts, you can get down to Waylon Jennings music while chatting it up at with your friends at one of their long wood-planked communal tables or sit up at the comfortable wooden bar while an old western plays silently on the television for some extra country vibes.
Owners Jeff Lutonsky and Meghan Love have achieved that balance between casual comfort food in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere with a modern, cool edge. In classic Williamsburg fashion, they scored a huge raw warehouse that used to be an old tonic water factory and with clearly a creative eye and good sense of space, they have crafted this raw spot into a warm and comfortable destination that combines an urban sense of style and old-fashioned country comfort. With a desire to preserve his grandmother, Mable’s, recipes, Lutonsky has carefully crafted the menu to reflect home-style Oklahoma cuisine. With a nod to the rustic urban beauty of roughed –up exposed brick and the clean lines of a cool warehouse space, Mable’s is a great spot for a hearty weeknight meal or perfect for meeting a large group of friends.
Offering both sandwiches and platters featuring pulled pork, brisket, ribs, Schwab’s Oklahoma hot links, and even an out of this world vegetarian sloppy joe, Mable’s has really done it. The prices are on the low end with a hefty sandwich, condiments, and choice of one side running ten bucks. They also have a late night bar menu that features some real down-home comfort with Frito pie and Velveeta Ro-tel dip as well as pulled pork and brisket tamales. Vegetarians, have no fear! The veggie sloppy joe is truly fantastic and there are numerous sides for you to choose from. Stop in for a Coors banquet beer and introduce yourself to your new favorite Williamsburg spot.

Hey you got my hopes up with the picture of a sloppy joe. Let's have a recipe!
No recipe, sorry. Mable's sauces are top secret and faking them just wouldn't do the place justice. Good barbecue sauces are sacred. Go to Mable's instead!
