10 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Palisades Park

“Visited New Jersey for the weekend, and this was one of the top restaurant recommendations from locals. It absolutely lived up to the hype.

Everything we ordered was delicious, but one of my favorites—unfortunately I forgot to take a picture—was the mixed vegetables. They tasted incredibly fresh with a subtle balance of sweetness and tangy citrus. It was the perfect palate cleanser and made me want to keep eating more skewers 😆

Highly recommend if you’re in the area!“

“The lunch box is incredibly well-prepared and delicious.

The neat and elegant packaging makes the meal feel even more premium.

It’s also a great choice for church gatherings or as a gift. This lunch box truly made my day a happy one!“

“I recently discovered this restaurant through a friend, and it has quickly become my favorite Korean BBQ spot.

The pork belly and fresh duck BBQ are simply the best I've ever had. The pork belly is served with four different sauces, each adding its own unique flavor, while the fresh duck is incredibly tender and delicious.

One of the highlights is the fried rice prepared at the end of the meal. A left-handed staff member with a topknot hairstyle works magic with a pair of scissors, cutting up the remaining pork belly and expertly stir-frying it with kimchi, seaweed, and rice right on the grill. It's the best Korean BBQ fried rice I've had in Palisades Park.

What makes the experience even better is the warm hospitality. The owner always greets guests with a big smile, and the entire staff is friendly, attentive, and welcoming.

This is my favorite place for pork belly and duck BBQ, and it has become a small weekly tradition for me after a round of golf. Highly recommended!“

“I’m a snobby ktown LA born Korean American who lived in Korea. I talk crap about most Korean places because they’re just not as good as the west coast but this is by far the absolute best Korean bbq place in all of NJ/NY. Hands down. Super OG place that does actual charcoal grills you literally feel like you’re transported back to the 90’s getting fed Korean bbq at the only spot your parents went to. The place that you went for every graduation, special occasion and celebration. It really doesn’t get better than this.“

“맛있네요! 이동네 오래간만에 갈한만 갈비집이 생겼어요!! ^^“

“사장부터 직원 매우 불친절..자리를 기다리는 사람들에 대한 관리가 전혀 없고 중간 중간 여사장이나 직원이 아는 손님이 오면 중간중간에 슬쩍 끼워 놓음.한시간 이상을 기다리는 손님에 대한 기본 예의 조차 없음..“

“Went there for lunch so was not too busy. Food (kalbi) was excellent. Meat was extremely tender and their side dishes were tasty and plentiful. Their selection of food was good and was impressed by the selection of aged meats they had. Would definitely recommend this place to others. Parking is easy in their lot and price is comparable to other KBBQ restaurants. Only negative is their bathroom which appear very outdated.“

“맛있겠다 .. All delicious food they have. come and visit this place.“

“Come here for an authentic Korean bbq experience.

This place has been a staple in Palisades for apparently 31 years, I’ve been here many times for the last 10 years, finally al getting around to writing a review.

If you’re new to kbbq, simply get their bbq combo, and that’ll be a good intro to the experience. If you’re more experienced and know what meat you like and accompanying dishes then go à la carte. They cook the meat for you and it the meat cooks relatively fast so be prepared to eat so the meat is not overcooked sitting on the grill.

Service and experience is similar to what you would get if you visited Korea. All right good spot, balanced, no fuss, and good selection of dishes to make the bbq complete.“

“I frequently order from The BBQ location in Palisades Park after my morning gym session. There are many choices for good Korean style fried chicken but i find BBQ’s to have the perfect blend of crispy/flaky on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. My personal favorite chicken place-ordering online 20 min before my gym session ends ensures a ready to go pick up with no wait time. Easy and convenient.“
