50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Bergenfield

“Food is very good but pricy: every thing is an add on. 4 stars for price of food., special right now is 1/2 off boba drink with purchase of a bowl (3/30/26)
Service was friendly and great, food wait time 10 min for 2 bowls and a platter
Smal place, bar for sitting, however parking is limited with small spaces. (I’d park at Tous Les Jours across the street~same owner)“

“Really Great Filipino food!“

“Good food, every things good.“

“This will become your go to place for BBQ! Highly recommend. We had some amazing food. Pastrami is my go to and I have had it at over 50 places this was a favorite. Everything is homemade and you can tell the chef is passionate!! All sauces served on the side so you can choose your own sauce adventure. I never thought I would be equally as excited about ketchup as I was the fries but here we are. It was so laid back and there was no pressure! This place has very knowledgeable staff. I can’t wait to go back and eat again.“

“so fresh. highly recommend everything on the menu is so good“

“great local spot love it here“

“We were so fortunate to have such a wonderful server assist us Chad. His attentiveness throughout the meal was truly remarkable. They offered excellent recommendations with a genuine smile. Every request was handled promptly and with great care. It's clear they take pride in providing exceptional service. We truly appreciated their positive and welcoming demeanor. Our experience was elevated significantly thanks to their efforts. We wholeheartedly recommend this establishment based on their outstanding hospitality.“

“Many people seem to enjoy this place, and there is a good variety of food and drinks. The food was generally quite good, except for the jjimdak (steamed chicken). It looked amazing in the menu photos, but it arrived undercooked and had to be cooked longer at our table, which took quite a while. When it was done. it was also a bit spicier than we expected as well
The restaurant was very busy on a Friday night, with people waiting for tables. Because of that, it felt like there was some pressure to finish and leave rather than relax and stay for a long conversation. In that sense, it felt more like a traditional Korean restaurant than a bar where you can sit with friends and talk for hours. Overall, the food and atmosphere were good, but the dining experience felt a bit rushed.“

“If you haven't been to Q Grill in Fort Lee yet, you are seriously missing out. We had an great meal, but a few dishes absolutely stole the show.
The experience started off strong because the banchan was incredibly plentiful, giving us so many great sides to taste. A huge standout was the kimchi, it tasted so fresh yet beautifully and well-fermented, hitting that perfect balance of crunch and tang. For the main event, we opted for the Trinity Wagyu combination, and it was spectacular. The beef was incredibly velvety, rich, and luxurious. To call it tender is an understatement—every single bite practically melted in my mouth, packed with that premium, juicy flavor you only get from high-quality Wagyu cuts.
The JapChae was executed perfectly with that ideal, bouncy chew and a beautifully balanced, savory-sweet sesame soy sauce. We also ordered the spicy rice cakes with cheese, which were the ultimate comfort food—perfectly chewy with just the right amount of kick, smothered in melted, gooey cheese.
Between the generous sides, the cheese-pulled rice cakes, and the top-tier meats from the Trinity combo, Q Grill is officially a favorite. Can't wait to come back!“

“Never had a bad meal here and have visited Otto's since they opened. Enjoying the Chinese pop up tonight !“

“Small place ran by a lovely couple with all the signature classic Romanian dishes! This place is a complete hidden gem! The eggplant salad starter is just like my grandmother and mother make, the meats are excellent - portion sizes are huge and everything tastes like a solid Romanian place on my visits to Romania. The star today was the Papanasi - a classic Romanian cheese donut! One of the best I had ever! Highly recommended! Will definitely come again!“

“Visited New Jersey for the weekend, and this was one of the top restaurant recommendations from locals. It absolutely lived up to the hype.

Everything we ordered was delicious, but one of my favorites—unfortunately I forgot to take a picture—was the mixed vegetables. They tasted incredibly fresh with a subtle balance of sweetness and tangy citrus. It was the perfect palate cleanser and made me want to keep eating more skewers 😆

Highly recommend if you’re in the area!“

“Amazing food, authentic flavor“

“I've eaten barbecue all over the country, including some of the legendary smokehouses in Dallas, Austin, Lockhart, and Kansas City, and I can honestly say that Bailey's Smokehouse belongs in the conversation.

Without question, Bailey's serves the finest barbecue I've had anywhere in the NYC tri-state area.

The baby back ribs were absolutely perfect—slow-smoked, incredibly tender, unbelievably juicy, and literally falling off the bone with every bite. The smoky flavor penetrated deep into the meat without overpowering it, creating the perfect balance of smoke, seasoning, and natural pork flavor.

The brisket was moist and flavorful, the sides were outstanding, and every plate showed the care and craftsmanship that goes into authentic barbecue. You can tell this isn't rushed food—it's barbecue done the right way.

The service was friendly, attentive, and welcoming, making the entire experience even better.

If someone blindfolded me and dropped me into Bailey's, I could easily believe I was eating at one of the premier smokehouses in Texas. That's how good it is. Did i mentuon the texas styked sausage stuffed with i think some chedar and amazing seasoning..

If you're searching for authentic, championship-quality BBQ in New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut, stop looking. Bailey's Smokehouse is the gold standard.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely phenomenal. I'll be back again and again“

“Always a great meal. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Owner is very nice and always making sure everything is to satisfaction. Very clean and sanitary. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone.“

“If you are looking for top-notch BBQ, this is the spot. The pastrami and brisket were the absolute stars of the show—both were incredibly tender, perfectly smoked, and unbelievably juicy. Pairing the meats with their sweet BBQ sauce was the perfect complement. You also cannot skip the cornbread! It was absolutely delicious, with rich hints of brown sugar and molasses that gave it a wonderful, almost cake-like taste and texture. To top it all off, the portion sizes are generous and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and amount of food you receive. Highly recommend!“

“This place is outstanding. First time there as I saw some IG videos of this place. The location is at Saddle Brook Mall (at least that's what I call it). Plenty of parking. It was clean outside and inside. The atmosphere was modern with plenty of 4 seating at a table for the room it had. It did not have Dominican souvenirs all over. Now the food. We ordered Chofan with churrassco and Maduro. Also, I ordered 1/2 baby back ribs and chicharron pork bellies. They were out of this world. The bone fell off that no meat was left on the bone. OMG it was so delicious. The chosen was so much, it was more served for 2 people. It is pricey, but you get what you pay for and more. Would definitely recommend.“

“I sat at the bar and had a drink, placed my order for dinner. Not one minute later, my dinner order was delivered, hot and fresh! Everything was delicious!“

“Thank you for a Fantastic Fathers Day Dinner. Highest Recommendation!!“

“Wonderful owners make amazing Thai food. I have been to many in the area. This was hands down the best.“

“Excellent service good food.“

“My wife and I have eaten here a few times and the food always amazes, every dish we've had has been fantastic. The creamy udon were such an interesting and delicious fusion(?). My steak tartar bulgogi was also out of this world and I cannot wait to get it again.“

“We had a great time during lunch! The interior decoration of the restaurant is beautiful and the service was excellent!! Especially the food was very tasty ! I strongly recommend this restaurant for any occasion! We loved it and enjoyed the lunch!! Thank you for the good food!!“

“We chose this restaurant before going to a see "Wicked". Fast service and the food was so good. We choose the carolina bbq with coleslaw and beans. I didn't want to pay $15 for hush puppies but I did- do it!! Do not hesitate!! They were the best I've ever had!! The service was delightful from beginning to end!“

“I ordered for the three of us yesterday I live in Edgewater and I’m big on local businesses. My first reaction was wow $100 for dinner, but I was blown away like always but even more the quality of your food especially the brisket sandwich and the coleslaw wow, the smell of the smoke meat the taste of the sweet spicy barbecue sauce and the beautiful coleslaw made me so happy. I can only finish half of it and here we are a day later and I’m finishing it. Keep it up guys your food As well as the gentleman working the counter“

“Went there today for the first time with my wife, I had the 10 West burger, so delicious, cooked perfectly and the burger was huge, just the right number of toppings and the bacon jam hit it out of the park. The sweet potato fries were excellent and enough for two people. The chips that come with the burger were also good. My wife had the regular burger with no cheese and an order of regular fries. She really enjoyed it and said it was cooked perfectly. The staff was friendly, the owner, Mel, greeted us, took our order and chatted with us while our order was being prepared. We were given a little disc that lit up and vibrated when the order was ready to be picked up at the counter. One of the best burgers around! A little pricy, but definitely worth it! We'll be going back for another delicious mouthwatering experience!“

“Great food Great staff Brisket is absolutely amazing“

“omg the chicken and ribs 😍 4 get about it 😍😂😂“

“I recently discovered this restaurant through a friend, and it has quickly become my favorite Korean BBQ spot.

The pork belly and fresh duck BBQ are simply the best I've ever had. The pork belly is served with four different sauces, each adding its own unique flavor, while the fresh duck is incredibly tender and delicious.

One of the highlights is the fried rice prepared at the end of the meal. A left-handed staff member with a topknot hairstyle works magic with a pair of scissors, cutting up the remaining pork belly and expertly stir-frying it with kimchi, seaweed, and rice right on the grill. It's the best Korean BBQ fried rice I've had in Palisades Park.

What makes the experience even better is the warm hospitality. The owner always greets guests with a big smile, and the entire staff is friendly, attentive, and welcoming.

This is my favorite place for pork belly and duck BBQ, and it has become a small weekly tradition for me after a round of golf. Highly recommended!“

“맛있네요! 이동네 오래간만에 갈한만 갈비집이 생겼어요!! ^^“

“The lunch box is incredibly well-prepared and delicious.

The neat and elegant packaging makes the meal feel even more premium.

It’s also a great choice for church gatherings or as a gift. This lunch box truly made my day a happy one!“

“Incredibly surprised to find this place I will def be back“

“I’m a snobby ktown LA born Korean American who lived in Korea. I talk crap about most Korean places because they’re just not as good as the west coast but this is by far the absolute best Korean bbq place in all of NJ/NY. Hands down. Super OG place that does actual charcoal grills you literally feel like you’re transported back to the 90’s getting fed Korean bbq at the only spot your parents went to. The place that you went for every graduation, special occasion and celebration. It really doesn’t get better than this.“

“The food is really good. I always get the egusi and fufu. I've gone in enough for the customer service to be better, almost feels rude. Went with a coworker and I actually felt that the interaction was more friendly. Anyway.... I'll still continue to go get food or just send someone to get it for me.
Good eatings :)“

“Amazing food! They catered an event at Finger Lakes Distilling and everything was fabulous. The shrimp curry was my favorite. Also the hot sauce is to die for!!!“

“best bbq in Only In New Jersey😍“

“Best wings I’ve ever had!! The only words that describe is simply amazing. Has become one of my favorite Jersey spots, and the cornbread is fantastic. The staff is incredibly nice, best service ever!!❤️❤️❤️“

“We had such a great experience here! Everything was absolutely delicious. We ordered the beef noodles with vegetables and the dumpling soup, and both were excellent. The complimentary side dishes were incredibly tasty, and we loved learning that many of the vegetables are grown by their own garden it really shows in the freshness and flavor.

The tea was also wonderful and paired perfectly with the meal.

The prices were very reasonable for the quality and generous portions. We enjoyed everything so much that we even ordered extra food to take home for our kids.

Friendly service, amazing food, fresh ingredients, and excellent value.

We will definitely be coming back.
Highly recommended! ⭐“

“Great food Great staff Brisket is absolutely amazing“

“I highly recommend this place! The food is amazing, and the flavors are unforgettable!“

“Very good food and service“

“Overall, we had a very good dining experience. The food was delicious, especially the steak — it was flavorful, cooked very well, and the portion size was generous and very satisfying. The chicken was also very good. The butter served with the bread was absolutely delicious and a great touch. The asparagus served with the steak was also very well prepared and complemented the dish nicely.

The only disappointment was the potato; I felt it could have been more flavorful and better prepared.

Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed with the cleanliness of the restroom. It was very dirty, and someone had clearly vomited in the sink area, but it had not been cleaned. For a restaurant of this quality, this was not acceptable and did not match the overall experience. I hope more attention can be given to hygiene and cleanliness.

We also called ahead to make a reservation, but we were told that due to the restaurant being full, we needed to come in person and put our name on the waiting list. We did that, but we ended up waiting more than 40 minutes before being seated. I understand that busy times happen, but the waiting process could be managed in a more organized way.

The food quality was great, but I believe there are areas where the restaurant can improve, especially regarding cleanliness and guest experience. I hope this feedback is taken into consideration.“

“No me canso de ir a este rest, el k esta en la 60th en West New York. He llevado a mi familia y amigos porque me encanta. Lo recomiendo 100%. No habido ni una sola queja desde que lo descubri cerca de mi casa. Pequeño pero con un gran servicio. Empleados amigables, lugar super limpio y una atmosfera como si estuvieras en casa. Lo mismo para comer alli que para delivery. El manager esta haciendo tremendo trabajo. Once again loved it.❤❤❤👍👍 ps: si dan un review o un complaint por favor especifiquen cual de los Brazeiros visitaron no todos son iguales. Gracias. Ahh y no trabajo alli.!“

“I really enjoyed the atmosphere an the the service was excellent also the young lady who was working at the time of me dining there was very pleasant she made me an my children feel as comfortable as possible I really enjoyed everything an will be returning in the near future..“

“I was here on several occassions, especially with my best guyfriend and best ladyfriend's birthdays. Love the K-Pop music on display, and the waiters/waitresses are excellent for their presentation and service.“

“It's such a futuristic way of getting your Korean fried chicken. So simplistic so to the point crunch is phenomenal, And even though it's made to order it's still fast! It reminds me of those individual food dining cubbies/booths for people who like minimal contact/interactions during dining that I've tried in Japan before. A lot of the items that I wanted were sold out but the experience was so well that I will go back again in hopes to get those items ☺️

(I'm not a spicy person but if you are the bokki is perfect for you, to me it was too spicy to enjoy unfortunately, even with the cheese added. But everything else about the bokki was spot on delicious!)“

“As food and travel enthusiasts, we’ve had Korean BBQ all over the world, and Cast Iron Pot delivers a very enjoyable experience. The restaurant is exceptionally clean, the atmosphere is lively, and the service truly stands out. The staff was attentive from the moment we arrived, frequently checking in, changing the grill when needed, and making sure we always had everything we needed.

The only reason for the 4-star rating is the quality of the meat. While the selection is generous, we were expecting more premium cuts with better marbling and tenderness. Upgrading the meat quality would elevate the entire experience and easily make this one of the top Korean BBQ destinations in the area.

If you’re looking for great service, a spotless restaurant, and a fun place to enjoy Korean BBQ with family or friends, Cast Iron Pot is definitely worth a visit.“

“love their food since day one and works are so friendly and upbeat 🤗😎“

“Great service, friendly And food very fresh!“

“I love this place! Jonathan is very nice, and the food is awesome. From the amazing beef chili (very hearty and tasty) to the crunchy footlong(?) corn dog (yum!) and the BBQ Beef Brisket... and the grilled Teriyaki Wings), everything was terrific with lots of flavor. Great service too. Two thumbs up, way up! 👍👍“
