2012 (lafemmemange.wordpress.com) While tourists come to Paris looking for, rightfully so, the superlative duck confit or the swoon-worthy foie gras, we who are here all year round are constantly on the lookout for greater variety beyond French food. So when an American friend told us about Blues Bar-B-Q around the Bastille, we immediately gathered another friend to join us for a night of ribs and such.[...]
Diana and her husband are the owners of Blues Bar-B-Q (1 rue Sedaine, 75011) and they bring you Texas BBQ and Blues. They say "Eat In or Take Out!" and run specials like Wednesday's Pork Rib Plate with a 3 euro beer. They offer mesquite-smoked brisket, pulled pork, pork ribs, sausage, chicken, chili dogs, and chili fries. Blues BBQ is a sauce ON type of joint[...]
Sometimes I just need to step away from the foie gras served at most Paris bistros and give my taste buds a trip down memory lane, American style. Recently I stumbled upon the one and only barbecue restaurant in Paris, Blues Bar-B-Q[...]

Ribs, brisket, pulled pork, sausage - smokey goodness. This was one of those experiences where it just seems too good to be true and so we ordered basically everything on the chalkboard menu including: all of the above and cornbread (with jalapeno peppers mixed in!), chili fries, coleslaw, vegetable gumbo and cheesecake. "OMGWTFBBQ"  This here is the real deal. Slowly smoked meats. Savory-sweet barbecue sauce. Baked beans with just enough spice. Cornbread that's light and fluffy and sweet. All served up by a chef from South Carolina and a very sweet owner from Texas - real south-of-the-Mason-Dixon-Line people. [...] This isn't McDonald's. Nor Burger King. If you're in the South, you're going to find little to no cheese, certainly not in your barbecue. Unlike other so-called American places here, you won't find any hot dogs, either. Or carrot cake. Alright, if you insist, they have brownies and cheesecake. But quite honestly, there's only one reason to come here: The barbecue. Oh, and one more reason: Grolsch on tap for €2.70 a glass. (Only €1 on Monday nights!) But get down here quick. Pretty soon they're gonna figure out that they're charging too little. Get on it! 07/11/2010 (Philipp L.)  "Good selection of authentic BBQ" Good selection of pretty authentic BBQ. The ribs are great, as is the cornbread. I also enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich. Skip on the beans, a have a grolsch instead - on Mondays it's €1 per pint!!!

2012 (theparisletter.blogspot.fr) A few months ago I was walking around near Bastille and I saw this place: Blues Bar-B-Q? What the heck is this doing in Paris? I have to admit, I viewed this with some trepidation. It must have been not long after my burrito-with-swiss-cheese experience here. Or maybe my worst pregnant ordering mistake, the pineapple & velveeta quesadilla I had in Helsinki. [...]
Loin de la cuisine traditionnelle de maman, nous voila plongés au cœur du Texas, une fois passée la porte de ce petit dinner. Un espace réduit mais charmant, qui ne nous offre qu'une dizaine de places assises. Suivez-nous pour une visite guidée ! [...]
Le Blues Bar-B-Q est le 1er Restaurant Américain de Paris à utiliser la technique traditionnelle de cuisson au Barbecue (au bois). Tout l'environnement nous plonge dans l'ambiance américaine : la déco, la musique blues, le Chef de Caroline du Sud et la Propriétaire du Texas (on y parle exclusivement anglais) ! [...]
This little place is a piece of heaven for expats like me (I'd say at least). Owned and run by a woman from Dallas, Blues BBQ is tucked in a little street near Basille and offers classic American BBQ dishes…. done right. The cherry on top… their Mac 'N Cheese.[...]
Most people know I love BBQ, especially what I consider to be the 'best' – Carolina style chopped pork with eastern NC vinegar based sauce on a soft bun with cole slaw and hush puppies. I do appreciate tender ribs and other styles of BBQ, but nothing to me is better than that sandwich. So I was very excited to find Blues Bar-B-Q in Paris, even if it's Texas style.[...]
