Best New Restaurant Blackstone Smokehouse & Pub 2801 Raeford Road 910.491.7029 or www.blackstonesmokehouse.com Blackstone Smokehouse has been the vision of "D.J." Tomasik ever since he obtained his culinary arts degree from Johnson and Wales University. He infuses the restaurant with his personal talents as an accomplished chef and his experiences as a well-traveled "military brat." His upbringing exposed him to many culinary experiences and cultures. Blackstone is truly unique for offering up classic American fare like BBQ and hamburgers elevated to a more sophisticated and creative level with such luncheon options as the fried turkey melt. This classic southern treat of natural fried turkey is layered with crispy bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo. The ever-changing menu also features exciting interpretations of familiar dishes like a smoked bacon-wrapped meatloaf smothered with rosemary gravy. And, don't forget the signature dessert of sweet potato maple cheesecake! Blackstone is a great place for a casual business lunch or an after-work business meeting. The restaurant has a full service bar with daily specials, dozens of domestic and imported beers as well as a large and impressive selection of wines. Yes, Blackstone Smokehouse is the best "new" restaurant in Fayetteville; however, it is well on its way to being one of Fayetteville's all time "Best of the Best" restaurants.
