This is one of our favorite places to go in the Hackensack area. It is a shame we drove past it for years before giving it a go. All of the food is spot-on, delicious, the BBQ sauce is very good. Sides are all done well, too, which some BBQ places neglect. They are smoking the meat right outside the food truck and go grab you some when you order. Talk about fresh!We look forward to next summer when we can visit again.

Finger licking good bbq! Everything was so fresh and yummy and we tried almost everything! Can’t wait to stop in again next year!

Ribs were absolutely amazing and so tender. Girl that waited on me really knew her items on the menu. Wrapped them up perfectly and were still warm when I got home. ⭐️Kid-friendliness: I saw the menu had kid meals.Parking: I parked right next to the ordering window. Free flat service paved lot.Wheelchair accessibility: No restrictions for wheelchair, Walker or canes. I used my cane.

Love the food, good portion and great price. And they had merch available that was reasonably priced

Just stopped by and got a full rack and some coleslaw. Both were delicious! Ribs were wonderfully smoked with just the right amount of fat, and the sauce was thick and flavorful. My only gripe is that the cup of coleslaw was too small. Food is delicious and well worth the stop

Great ribs. 1/2 rack was plenty and great value. Good smoke and bark. Didn't need sauce... but comes with it anyway. Beans get a thumbs up. Sweet and made with trimmings. Cole slaw is a poor man's version of KFC slaw. Just not as sweet. Highly recommend. (Order and take over to Rendezvous Brewery to eat inside or outside across from the park/lake and have a beer.)

It's easy to dismiss a trailer parked in a small town as not worth trying but I'm very happy we stopped in during a fishing trip. My buddy and I were definitely up for some quality BBQ and Butts & Buns delivered the goods. Our biggest challenge was figuring out when the trailer was going to be open! Anyway, if you're in Hackensack or anywhere near Butts and Buns and interested in enjoying excellent BBQ (we had ribs and pulled pork) instead of slapping mosquitos, be sure to stop here. Service is fast and the quality is there.
Save your $! Got a TINY sandwich of brisket for $12 (it didn't even say sandwich, just brisket, so I thought it'd just be meat). Not enough sauce on it, and corn muffin was horrible tasting. It just tasted horribly of flour, and hardly any corn flavor. Jiffy corn muffin. Total waste of money, except bbq sauce was good. Go else where.

Bottom Line: Okay BBQ at commensurate prices. Stop if they're open I guess. You could do worse. Top Line: Sliced brisket sandwich meat was very, very tender and generous in portion size. Juiciness was at play as well. However, the smoke note on the meat was largely AWOL. On a smoke scale of zero (Grandma's Sunday beef pot roast) to ten (Texas burnt ends ambrosia), the brisket at Butts & Buns slid in around 3 or 4. So, great texture in the sandwich but registering as somewhat bland due to missing smokiness. Sweet'ish, tangy BBQ sauce with a nice spicy bite was a welcome addition. Bun was soft & tender, but proved insufficient to corral the load o' brisket draped in it due to sogging out from the BBQ sauce. Napkins & finger wash-up post meal were definitely called for. BBQ beans and cole slaw were pretty middle of the road. Decent flavor and texture. Good enough I guess we could say. But not going to redefine your culinary reality. Window crew was nominally friendly, though not particularly friendly nor engaging. They did their job, so that bar got cleared anyway.
