Big Ed's Barbecue is a great spot for delicious food and friendly service. From the bread to dessert, everything is satisfying. The all-you-can-eat ribs are a highlight, with options like baby back ribs, spare ribs, and St. Louis style, available with Cajun rubbed, regular barbecue, honey barbecue, or spicy barbecue sauce. The ribs are tender, juicy, and packed with flavor, and can be enjoyed with sauce or straight from the grill. For sides, there are choices like salad, Cole slaw, beans, mac and cheese, and fries, though some reviews mention that the sides are just average. The portions are generous, especially considering the deal of $28 or $29 for as much ribs as you want, but the side salad and Cole slaw are considered mediocre. The staff, including friendly and attentive servers, provides quick service even when busy. Desserts are large and tasty, and the menu gets easier to navigate after a visit. Coupons are offered with the bill for discounts on future visits. Overall, Big Ed's is a casual, fun place in NJ for comfort food that many visitors want to return to.
