Took my first time order to go. The person that helped me figure out what to get was remarkably helpful, and good humored. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone good as was the pork belly nachos. I I was genuinely surprised that I made it home in 20 minutes with the nachos still warm and the chips still crispy. Brisket was some of the best I've had.

I haven't been here in a long time and I'm now mad at myself for waiting to come back. Amazing fall off the bone ribs, excellent brisket tacos, and a Mac and cheese that's in a top tier level. Easily one of if not the best BBQ in the area. Next time, I'll be grabbing one of the amazing sounding sandwiches.

Manager was very friendly & extremely helpful. Two of us had Nacho's ( mine had sausage)which were excellent but a little difficult to eat since they were covered with toppings (not a horrible problem). We also had the brisket tacos & the Merchant sandwich. Merchant sandwich was good & filling too. Brisket tacos had plenty of meat but cooked a touch too much (on the dry side). Prices were competitive. Parking was easy but not a lot of spaces. Overall we enjoyed our visit and would return and we all would try other items to explore the menu a little further. Definitely worth a visit to see if these items appeal to your taste buds.Parking: No problem but get there early tio be safe.Wheelchair accessibility: We didn't see any ramps so this might not be feasible if you've got a wheelchair.

First let me say that this is a super cute place. The inside is casual and welcoming. They have a small outdoor patio as well. The bbq is FANTASTIC. Well-prepared, high quality meat with great flavor. Had the St.Louis ribs, dry rubbed wings and Cubano sandwich. The meat is moist and flavourful. Absolutely love and highly recommend.

Oh. My. Heavens.This place ..... Finally I found brisket that falls apart in your hand. Melts in your mouth. And I didn't need to drive to Tennessee or south Carolina to get it. This is like a hidden gem of bbq places. The Mac and cheese was really delicious and very different than your typical Mac and cheese. The Mexican street corn was insane- corn was cooked perfectly and the spices gave it a great kick. My son had the pulled pork sandwich and devoured that AND three pieces of corn bread. I wish I had enough of an appetite to try all the sides and platters. Will definitely make the trip back to have this again. 10 out of 10 for sure!

Excellent BBQ. We had the nachos, tacos, Gruyere sandwich and tomato salad. The smoke flavor was great. The bbq sauces were made in house, the ghost pepper sauce was my favorite. The owner grows all the peppers. Great flavors. We will definitely be back!

Went here for a business lunch with friends. The food was so delicious that we never discussed work and just ate in blissful happiness. I've been looking for good BBQ since moving to NJ. This place remind of my favorite pace and the smells instantly make your mouth water. The portions are large and the prices on par with most BBQ places but the service and quality is excellent.

Amazing BBQ!The brisket platter is perfect. Brisket is very flavorful & tend! Corn bread delicious & moist without being sticky! The dry rub wings superb!! The owner recommend various sauces based on each dish and if we like sweet, spicy or heat!
This place is clean... Very clean. (Bbq folk, you know what I'm saying)The paper towels on every table are more for decorative purposes than necessity.Flavor is decent and service is good.Price point is wayyy high for what you get. Everything is a la carte.A "platter" should not mean a few small pieces of meat with cornbread and a pickle.But I guess thats the best you can get in a 2 mile radius...

We visited for the first time today and I will say the hospitality is stellar! Unfortunately, it didn’t FEEL like a BBQ joint … where is the grit? the SMELL? The VIBE? It counts for something. Furthermore… I paid $16.00 for the turkey “platter”… Now… a platter in BBQ joints is a PLATTER. Sides! cornbread! a big ol slab of meat or chicken! Here 16.00 gets you three slices of turkey and a slice of cornbread… oh! and a pickle … I appreciate the flavor, but something is missing here and I still think they can find IT…. I love smallbusinesses and I support as many as I can, but I honestly think more can be offered for the price point here and the environment needs to match the cuisine

Hands down, this is the best BBQ you'll find in New Jersey. The food, the hospitality, it's all amazing. Aaron is the man and will make sure you're well taken care of. Guarantee you won't leave disappointed. Definitely worth a visit (or 86)

Great food and service and a nice clean place. Only negative is the very small portion sizes.

Smoke BBQ gives you subtly spiced grilled food with authentic Texas style. The restaurant itself may not look like the BBQ shacks we might remember, but the flavors will be familiar to any who live for smoke. Try the brisket tacos and you won't be disappointed.
