I ate Ribs. Jerk Chicken. Cole Slaw..I loved the lips.But I'm sad because it's too far from my house
Brisket great, Mac and cheese side great, best Cole slaw ever. My ribs were just ok, a little disappointing. Friendly service. Didn't love TV blasting over the speakers in dining area where you can't even see tv. Some music would have been great. Pricy for side of the road. Spent $50 for lunch, 2 drinks, one meal, one sandwich.
Kevin has the best bbq mac n cheese, potato salad, coleslaw ! Everything is very tasty homemade! Love it!
Decided to try this place on a whim. Absolutely loved it. The brisket was tender, the mac and cheese was creamy and tasted fresh (not microwaved), the cole slaw was great, the jerk chicken was tender and flavorful down to the bone.
Also really loved that it wasn’t salty and actually had flavor.
Have been a few times and bought by the lb or a full rack only. Brisket and pulled pork are outstanding; the ribs are tasty but ruined because they do not remove the membrane underneath which is too bad. Makes them tough to eat. Without that issue they get 5 stars. Its not hard; they should do it
best bbq smoked food this area I'm a fat boy and I can honestly say today I had it and it became top 5 best food will def co.e back the 1hr 1/2 ride worth every second
recommend highly specially them ribs booooooyyyyyyyyy mmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmm!!
Awesome roadside BBQ located in the Toyota Clinton parking lot. The brisket was tender and juicy. Ribs looked amazing too! Definitely will be back to try the Ribs for sure. Lots of seating too.
This place is amazing, and their kids work too (and do a great job!)
Quality food and quality people
Kevin and team, you continue to kill the game. There’s a reason why they call it “The Real Deal”. Because it is. Hands down, best brisket, pulled pork, cornbread, Mac and cheese, baked beans, jerk chicken in hunterdon county, NJ. I’ve traveled a lot and had a lot of BBQ, and Kevin’s smoking style is the best I’ve ever had. Their catering for small, medium, and large events is top notch. I wish they were open every single day but this team deserves to rest after a long weekend of absolutely impeccable BBQ greatness.
Kevin, the owner, and all of his employees work their butts off everyday.
You know it’s good when they’re open 3 days a week and sell out within a few hours.
We love you, Kevin, and the entire Real Deal BBQ team!!
I enjoyed the people that run this place. They are so helpful and cheerful. Their macaroni and cheese is unreal, the best I have ever had. The coleslaw is excellent. My wife loves the pulled pork sandwich. We drive almost an hour to get there and it is worth it.

I passed by this ' Establishment ' ? err BBQ Stand, I guess that's a word to use for it ' BBQ Stand ' in all its temporary glory. I had a pulled pork sandwich, its was WAY Overpriced , served on a really Cheap Walmart Bun , not worth the money at all ! for what they are charging for. My Wife had the rib platter, again , REALLY SKIMMPY on the serving and WAY over priced too ! I think your better off to go to a sit down place if you goanna fork over close to 50$ for lunch Keep Driving ! Have a nice Day !

Got a full rack of ribs, 1lb of brisket and a lemonade. Ribs were very very good. Sweater than expected but wow...very good. Brisket was fine--not amazing. It came with sauce on it. We didn't realize that would be the case. Glad this place is here. I'll be back to try the jerk chicken.

Hidden gem. Hands down the best pulled pork we had. The jerk chicken was great too. They are an outdoor BBQ place only but they had nice outdoor seating. I highly recommend!
