I ordered a brisket sandwich and a side of slaw. It was out this world. Good BBQ is hard to find, but I know I don’t have to look anymore! Slaw was perfect. The owner/chef brought us a sample of the first brisket of today. Very down to earth guys there. Atmosphere is lax. I’ll be coming back soon! Thx for the location that’s close to home ☺️

I love the brisket sandwich. Get out and give this place a try, the only thing you will regret is that you didn't try it earlier. Very nice people as well.

Drove all the way here they didn’t update what days they are open and they are closed. We drove half hour. I wouldn’t waste your time.

Best Brisket I've had in NJ. Great portions and choice of sides. Mac and cheese so good it'll make your leg wiggle.

Really good BBQ experience! They do mostly takeout, butt have some seating. Owners and staff were friendly and servings were nice size. The pulled pork didn't need sauce but a great sauce was provided on the side. The beans were nice and light sauce, not overly sugary, with a little green hot pepper cooked in. Made very tasty beans! The sweet potato was mashed and also very good! Will definitely keep on the go to list!

Went in today for a pulled pork sandwich and a brisket sandwich. The owner was training his children to run the register and the atmosphere was very wholesome. Reminded me of growing up working with my parents. Service was wonderful, food was even better!

The best bbq in NJ - amazing pulled pork and sides. We've eaten at the restaurant and had catering multiple times. At the restaurant food comes out super quick, service is great. The catering trays are a huge hit and come with all the serving utensils. Highly recommend!
