Meet the chef
I am Chef Marcus Bell. Fire is my trade.
I started in a backyard pit and ended up with a full kitchen in Manhattan, NY. At Ember & Oak Smokehouse we keep it honest: good beef, real wood, patient cooking and a room where everyone is welcome.

Guest notes
Straight from the table
The ribeye had a proper crust and a perfect pink center. This is the best sear in the neighborhood.
We booked the back room for 20 and they handled everything. The brisket disappeared in minutes.
Pickup is quick, everything is packed hot and the platter feeds the whole family.
