Pineapple Express Barbecue

can get loud in here 😁

It's fun but it could be neater.

It was just after 11:15pm. The staff was completely courteous and considerably patient with me since it was my 1st time there. The chefs prepared what the beautiful cashier recommended. It was a beautiful sight of crisp fries, savory Mac and cheese with juicy fried chicken tenders cut into pieces with a med hot drizzle of house sauce. 🔥

Excellent food, everything was delicious. I am not a big fan of asparagus, but the seasoning was perfect. Ribs were my favorite, compared to brisket. The green fried tomatoes were best I have had, but that orange cheese topping is cute, but needs to be put as a side option, not on top of this crispy perfectly made tomato. The corn bread was really a corn muffin. They need to update it on menu, cause I wanted a corn bread, soft, square corn bread. Not a round dry muffin. The reason, they do not get a 5 star, is sitting area is uncomfortable for the benches are too close to other people, so u are literally back to back and I touch lady behind me by mistake. All the benches were all crooked so it was hard to get in. For $60 plus bill, u expect a wait staff to bring your food and drink. What was also annoying was having to pay drinks separately, and constantly having to get up to get a refill.

I just love this place. Everyone who works here is so kind and lovely. I always have a good time, whether it's a band, trivia, sitting outside, or board games. Love you guys! Thanks for always being so nice.

Beef brisket was amazing very tender. I would definitely go back to enjoy atmosphere.

Elite BBQ, the brisket is some of the best I’ve had in this area. Great sides. Best BBQ spot in NJ hands down!

They had a school of rock people here singing and playing instruments. Got a little bit of everything. Remember when this used to be a pizza but. Then a Hollywood video video rental place. Pretty cool.

Excellent place to hang out for an afternoon. The food was on point.

Drove over an hour to visit and it did not disappoint! It’s hard to find a full gluten free establishment and they completely nailed it! The 1/2 yardbird pieces were deliciously crunchy and seasoned. The crispy chicken sandwich was amazing! The ‘naughty’ waffle fries were a fun twist to the ordinary waffle fries. Fried pickle spears were so tasty. OMG and cannot forget the cornbread! The cornbread was the size of a mega muffin and so flavorful! Huge bonus… GF beer on draft!!

The food is good - high quality ingredients and non-typical flavors. You're going to get a higher end burger with a more sophisticated flavor profile. If you're looking for typical then head to the diner. My brisket sandwich was pretty awesome, but a little small and no sides making it kind of a disappointing value. Also - turn the heat on?

Vegetarian options: Not good for vegans.

This place has really great barbecue. The chicken wings are cooked well but didn’t have much flavor. I wish the portion for the brussel sprouts was bigger and the kimchi apples weren’t actual “kimchi” since it wasn’t fermented therefore wasn’t really kimchi flavor either. The brussel sprouts were yummy. We got the loaded fries and since they were so loaded they got very soggy by the end but in the beginning they were good!

Alcohol is served separate at the bar inside. I paid cash and the guy never gave me back the change and assumed the leftover was a tip. Luckily it was, but my party still found it rude that he never returned. I also needed to ask for a glass of water and was hoping when he gave my change I could ask. Another bartender saw us looking for a tender and helped us. Weird

Everything is a la carte (order and pay per item) and there are no servers. Someone comes around to buss the tables but otherwise nobody is serving you. It equals out for the slightly high prices. You get a buzzer and go to the front to pick up your food. There’s a Gatorade jug in the corner with water if needed.

I’d come here again and would want to try experiencing the outside area in the summer away from the loud sports games on the tv

Came by for lunch last weekend and was very satisfied! The portions are a good size for the price, and the atmosphere was very enjoyable. Good tunes and the natural lighting is beautiful. The place smells incredible with all of the full, smoky scents swirling around. Solid variety of drinks at the bar. Will definitely be revisiting.
