50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Kenilworth

“I am Portuguese and married to a Portuguese woman who can cook any gourmet meal to perfection. I can tell you we were both amazed at the delicious dinner we were served and the servants were on top of their job. I have found my go to spot for delicious food when I am in the area.“

“Anáis is a great server I recommend her she is the best“

“food, place and friendly staff“

“Found this restaurant by chance and had a wonderful lunch for four of us. The food was great - The rodizo platters were cooked just as ordered. The staff was attentive and professional. We will go back!“

“The best brisket! Great sauce! Very friendly staff!“

“It’s the first time I ordered from this restaurant and I cannot stress enough how happy I was with the flavor and quality of the food. It tastes very natural yet very delicious. It will be my first option whenever I don’t feel like cooking at home. I totally recommend this place !!“

“I Didn’t get a chance to order because I was djing but lawwwwdddddddddd that Philly cheesesteak egg roll was slapping…. I’ll definitely come back to order that… CONGRATS AGAIN ON THE GRAND OPENING“

“Wonderful people, everyone is very kind and welcomING. The food is so delicious. The lumpia, the plantains, the jerk chicken and pork are all stellar. One time, we had radishes that were so good I'm still thinking about them months later. Yeah..I said radishes.“

“very good and a nice guy.“

“💯 recomendado comida deliciosa“

“I got the chicken jollof. The people are very friendly and nice. Rice was just okay but the chicken was definitely very good. I would definitely want to come back but I most certainly will not. I paid $27 literally for some chicken, rice, and cabbage. Call it a portion and a half but I did eat the entire thing. Really though, I can go almost anywhere in this city and get the same, if not better, for $12-15. I’ll be honest, I am not even sure how they remain in business charging those prices to people. Well, that’s my two cents minus 2,700. Up to you if you want to give it a go.“

“Amazingly delicious food with beautiful presentation and top notch quality and quantity! Love the environment, attentive/knowledgable staff, wait is beyond worth the food! Second time having lunch there with Addy personally coming around to make sure all customers were satisfied!“

“Great food descent prices great for parties highly recommended 10 star food“

“I come here pretty often but cannot claim to have explored the menu thoroughly. I absolutely love their tteokbokki, which is just lovely: great portion size, perfect texture, and the subtle spice and sweet flavor of the sauce. Amazing with the addition of cheese.

I’ve also tried the tofu bowl, which I have not bothered with again, as well as the kimbap on numerous occasions, which is a great option for a snack or light lunch. The fried dumplings are super crispy and delicious.

I also almost always get a side of kimchi, which is a good size for the price and has a nice flavor and kick to it.

100% would recommend; I mostly get takeout, but the dine-in seating area is a nice setup. Sometimes they have a BOGO deal on the tteokbokki and it absolutely makes my day every time.“

“Excellent food and service,I got breakfast,lunch and dinner…I am a truck driver and have a busy schedule,so I decided to give this place a shot…can’t wait to come back and try other things.

Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian options,they can make a vege burrito or sandwich.

Kid-friendliness: Kids can sit and eat“

“If you’re looking for clean, fresh food that won’t drain your wallet, this spot is a great choice. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the staff are always welcoming. It can get pretty busy since it’s popular, but the wait is definitely worth it. Only thing missing would be fresh juices, adding those would take it to the next level.“

“Exceptional.....if ur lucky enuff to find parking...ur lucky enuff“

“I ordered catering for a birthday party for the first time from Jersey Joe’s, based on a recommendation of a friend of my sons who had food from them for a graduation party The food, the service and answering questions quickly made my party a success. The food was great, several of my guests asked where did I get the food from and wrote down their website. The Brisket, pulled pork, mac and cheese were big hits!! And the ribs were spectacular.
I will definitely use their catering again for another party. Don’t doubt using them as their food was excellent and the delivery service was excellent as well. Thank you to Cindy for handling my catering order and answering my questions.

“Absolutely loved this place! The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The BBQ was tender, the sides were delicious, and the portions were generous for the price. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The restaurant was also very clean and well maintained, including the dining area and restrooms, which really stood out. Great food, great service, and a comfortable atmosphere
I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend Clark Bar B Que to anyone looking for authentic Portuguese BBQ!“

“One of the best BBQ places. Food is plentiful and perfectly prepared. The service is prompt and pleasant. The prices are very reasonable. 6 family members had full platters-chicken ribs fries & rice with a large side salad $93 that included a tip. Parking is a nightmare but it can be it's worth the headache. Highly recommend“

“la mejor comida dominicana de area“

“Everything was delicious. Food was fresh, warm, hearty, savory and satisfying. Great service! Comfortable atmosphere. A great option for family meals, when unable or unwilling to cook at home. 😁 Good sized portions. I had the Chicken in Garlic Sauce with rice and beans. My friend has the BBQ Ribs and Chicken with Rice, Cabbage and Boiled Potatoes. This spot has been added to my weekly meal rotation.“

“If you’re craving authentic Colombian flavors, PARCEROS is a must-visit! The food is absolutely delicious — from the perfectly seasoned empanadas to the mouthwatering bandeja paisa, every dish feels like a taste of home. The portions are generous, the ingredients fresh, and the presentation is on point.

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff treats you like family — friendly, attentive, and always smiling. You can tell they take real pride in what they serve. Whether you’re Colombian or just a fan of Latin cuisine, this spot hits the mark.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for real-deal Colombian comfort food in a cozy, upbeat setting. ¡Buen provecho!“

“Great fun on a Friday of course! But killer ribs on Thursday. Music on Wednesday is always a good time! 😄“

“es el mejor restaurante y la comida es super rica y es muy económico todo 100 recomendando 😁“

“I have settled on wilson ave bbq as my favorite ribs and chicken joint in the iron bound. I live in the area, and they have always delivered on time, friendly, with great portions, and delicious. as an example, the cheese steak(with everything) is not like a philly cheese, but it is so damn good. I'm really grateful that a place like this exists near me. Thank you wilson ave bbq!“

“I absolutely love this place. I have a very bad case of long covid since October 2021 where almost everything smells and tastes rotten or sickly sweet. I am able to eat the hot pot miso ramen soup with a lot of different vegetables, and I can have the chocolate cake/cupcakes. So delicious! I can also eat the white rice and the grilled pineapples. Before finding out that I can have all of this, I was losing a massive amount of weight, thank God for the few things that I can have here, I’m able to maintain my weight now. I just tend to go a bit crazy with what I can eat because I’m so hungry from not really eating the other days. The workers are amazing. The manager, Justin is really nice and very funny. The owner Darin is also very nice. Love the atmosphere and the music, I still can’t eat the other things and the smells from the other foods still bother me but I deal with it just so I can eat what I’m actually enjoying there. Thanks kpot for being the first restaurant where I’m actually eating some things that I can enjoy. Highly recommend this place, especially this location. Twenty stars“
