Doesn’t know what brisket is. Only gives you some pulled meat with sauce on it.

Had a brisket sandwich. It was just shredded meat with sauce on it. Not good at all. I was in Texas a month ago and you get a brisket sandwich it is cut off of a slab of marinated smoked cooked meat. This was not even close. Also for $16 that includes tax but not tip, wasn't very good value. The staff was friendly. And the atmosphere is interesting it being outside on the outskirts of a Toyota parking lot.

When I was a young man, coming back from Trout fishing with Pops, I remember stopping here for the first time. Just came back from fishing the same stretch a river alone and I passed by...it was just as savory and delicious. This past time I ordered the Rib meal with beans and Mac n cheese. Let me tell you something, exactly what I needed and sum. These guys know what they are doing, get full! Also, don't sleep on that Jerk Chicken!

The best bbq in nj
Overpriced and totally disorganized. I was initially greeted with “CASH OR CARD?!” I will not be returning.

Ribs where tough. Not cooked enough.
Food was on point. I had brisket, ribs, chicken, jerk chicken, hot dogs, Mac and cheese, baked beans, potato salad, cole slaw, pulled pork...yes I really had it all and it was really All delicious.
Peaceful. We are outside during the day so there was plenty of space. Could easily accommodate or large group.
The owner is one of the most generous people I've ever met in my life. He made sure we had more than enough.
I highly recommend. Glad we came across this spot in our travels.

It was a great choice!

I’ve been to Texas a dozen times and have had BBQ at other places in New Jersey and this is by far the worst (I’ve tried this place twice so far before writing this). These reviews seem like they could be ghosts because I’m shocked. Cold ribs, fatty, and way way too much hickory/smoke. I don’t think I’m going to get this smoky taste out of my mouth for a couple days. Lastly, number one red flag, you never put sauce on the ribs before giving them to the customer. It’s smothered in their own sauce and you have no other options besides the one sauce they throw on it. They literally don’t offer any others and it’s vinegar based which is not my go to. Will not be going back.

We ate from their first location food was excellent. So we went to the new spot yesterday and the food was dry and bland. The macaroni and cheese was terrible very disappointing.
