Jerk chicken and ribs was fire🔥🔥but mac&cheese need some season
What’s just as much The Real Deal as in - the best barbecue in Hunterdon county and beyond? The staff and crew at The Real Deal are just as sweet and amazing as their top notch food. Kevin and crew are the sweetest. They’ve catered several medium to large sized events for us, and I always order extra so I have “leftovers” and i hide my “extras” away from guests because no matter how much I order, every. Single. Dish. Is wiped clean, and gone.

The Real Deal BBQ is a pleasant spot located on 31, serving delicious barbecue. The atmosphere is inviting, and the food is a highlight. Dishes such as pulled pork sandwiches, with juicy meat and plenty of BBQ sauce, and ribs, which are tasty but could be better, are popular choices. The brisket is a standout, tender and flavorful, and many consider it some of the best barbecue in Hunterdon County and beyond. The mac and cheese side is creamy and tastes fresh, while the cole slaw is considered the best by many customers. Their cornbread and baked beans also receive high praise. The restaurant focuses on quality and generous portions, with some finding the sides a bit pricey. Friendly service is common, and sometimes guests can meet the owner, Kevin, who checks in on things. However, the noise level from a TV blasting over the speakers can be distracting, and some would prefer music instead. Overall, The Real Deal BBQ is regarded as one of the best in the area, especially for brisket and pulled pork, though improvements such as removing the membrane from ribs could make the experience even better. Many customers love to order extra food for leftovers, as every dish is wiped clean and gone. The Real Deal BBQ is a gem of delicious genuine BBQ every weekend.
