50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Paramus

“Had the brisket tacos at their stand in central park, and they were ON POINT. Best tacos I've had in a fat minute. That brisket was better than any I've had and I'm FROM the south! 100% recommend. I bought one, ate it, and came back 10 minutes later for 2 more!“

“This place totally satisfied our desire for KBBQ. We were used to other cuts of meat after living overseas for 7 years but the buy 2, get 1 free meat special with three types of ribeyes (roast: thin sliced with salt/pepper seasoning at the end; standard: thick steak , cut up after cooking; marinated: already cubed and marinaded in a sweet soy sauce) was really good. The seafood pancake was more substantial than expected and delicious- it was thick, with a good amount of seafood and very mild green onions that made it really easy to eat. Service was very good where they anticipated our needs just as we were thinking/ about to think about it (plate replacements, lettuce refills, corn tea (light and refreshing!). We liked that they kept checking with us to make sure we were satisfied.“

“I have to say, some of the reviews on this establishment is bordering on satire. Recently went here and found the food to be fantastic! The mango chicken was absolutely delicious as was the bourbon chicken and the spicy chicken. Do yourself a favor and actually look at the complaints about this place before you make a decision. I’ll cut you a break and give you an example or two about the complaints. One complaint was about the use of paper bag oppose to plastic bags and another was the color of the food, the color! I mean I understand complaints about the quality of the food but when the complaints have nothing to do with the quality then I can’t and won’t take it seriously. People seriously need to stop crying and complaining about the silliest of things. Enjoy this place, I know me and my wife did!“

“Good food, every things good.“

“so fresh. highly recommend everything on the menu is so good“

“If you haven't been to Q Grill in Fort Lee yet, you are seriously missing out. We had an great meal, but a few dishes absolutely stole the show.
The experience started off strong because the banchan was incredibly plentiful, giving us so many great sides to taste. A huge standout was the kimchi, it tasted so fresh yet beautifully and well-fermented, hitting that perfect balance of crunch and tang. For the main event, we opted for the Trinity Wagyu combination, and it was spectacular. The beef was incredibly velvety, rich, and luxurious. To call it tender is an understatement—every single bite practically melted in my mouth, packed with that premium, juicy flavor you only get from high-quality Wagyu cuts.
The JapChae was executed perfectly with that ideal, bouncy chew and a beautifully balanced, savory-sweet sesame soy sauce. We also ordered the spicy rice cakes with cheese, which were the ultimate comfort food—perfectly chewy with just the right amount of kick, smothered in melted, gooey cheese.
Between the generous sides, the cheese-pulled rice cakes, and the top-tier meats from the Trinity combo, Q Grill is officially a favorite. Can't wait to come back!“

“This was a great experience! We were just at Kollection grabbing some kbeauty products.. when we wanted to eat somewhere. We had no wait, and the ambiance when we walked in was so chill. The table lamps are nice. The Bossam was AMAZING! I highly recommend that dish!! Especially with friends! I would do it plain. The seafood pancake was PACKED with seafood! It was light and fluffy! Corn and cheese was everything you would want.. creamy. And cheesy! I would have like a bit more corn I guess. Fun family dinner night out! The servings are good! I wish I could order more, but I’m full!
Shout out to Thomas our waiter! He was nice and attentive. Would definitely come back here again!“

“Our server Ana was very attentive, sweet, and welcoming! Whenever we would need help/assistance, she and other staff would come right away or even without us asking! The restaurant also has many options and our family had a very enjoyable experience here, definitely will come back!“

“Amazing food, authentic flavor“

“Small place ran by a lovely couple with all the signature classic Romanian dishes! This place is a complete hidden gem! The eggplant salad starter is just like my grandmother and mother make, the meats are excellent - portion sizes are huge and everything tastes like a solid Romanian place on my visits to Romania. The star today was the Papanasi - a classic Romanian cheese donut! One of the best I had ever! Highly recommended! Will definitely come again!“

“Amazing place! Owner, food and service wow!!!“

“I sat at the bar and had a drink, placed my order for dinner. Not one minute later, my dinner order was delivered, hot and fresh! Everything was delicious!“

“I've eaten barbecue all over the country, including some of the legendary smokehouses in Dallas, Austin, Lockhart, and Kansas City, and I can honestly say that Bailey's Smokehouse belongs in the conversation.

Without question, Bailey's serves the finest barbecue I've had anywhere in the NYC tri-state area.

The baby back ribs were absolutely perfect—slow-smoked, incredibly tender, unbelievably juicy, and literally falling off the bone with every bite. The smoky flavor penetrated deep into the meat without overpowering it, creating the perfect balance of smoke, seasoning, and natural pork flavor.

The brisket was moist and flavorful, the sides were outstanding, and every plate showed the care and craftsmanship that goes into authentic barbecue. You can tell this isn't rushed food—it's barbecue done the right way.

The service was friendly, attentive, and welcoming, making the entire experience even better.

If someone blindfolded me and dropped me into Bailey's, I could easily believe I was eating at one of the premier smokehouses in Texas. That's how good it is. Did i mentuon the texas styked sausage stuffed with i think some chedar and amazing seasoning..

If you're searching for authentic, championship-quality BBQ in New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut, stop looking. Bailey's Smokehouse is the gold standard.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely phenomenal. I'll be back again and again“

“Always a great meal. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Owner is very nice and always making sure everything is to satisfaction. Very clean and sanitary. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone.“

“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!“

“Wonderful owners make amazing Thai food. I have been to many in the area. This was hands down the best.“

“We had a great time during lunch! The interior decoration of the restaurant is beautiful and the service was excellent!! Especially the food was very tasty ! I strongly recommend this restaurant for any occasion! We loved it and enjoyed the lunch!! Thank you for the good food!!“

“Thank you for a Fantastic Fathers Day Dinner. Highest Recommendation!!“

“Absolutely recommend Mighty Quinn's! We had them cater our son's graduation party for over 30 people two days ago and it was an absolute hit! Food was amazing...everyone was raving about how good everything was! And Vinnie, the manager, went above and beyond...from delivery to set up...to removal of all boxes. Above five stars!!“

“I wanted to eat something good for dinner so I came back to YC Ribs. The barbecue ribs are so good. Wife had the Mofongo with Skirt steak. She said it was very good. The service is great and the food comes out pretty fast. Great place to have good food.“

“Great food Great staff Brisket is absolutely amazing“

“This spot was banging! Please do not hesitate to try, it’s super quiet but don’t let that fool you, the food is fresh and delicious. It’s also one of the most affordable bbq places I’ve been to in my opinion. I’m use to nyc, so this was super affordable and so good. :)“

“It was our first time dining at Karden, and we were already planning our next visit before we even left! The food was amazing—beautifully presented, incredibly fresh, and a modern take on traditional Korean cuisine. The service was wonderful as well. Highly recommend 100%! ❤️🇰🇷“

“Great food, great people 👍“

“Went there today for the first time with my wife, I had the 10 West burger, so delicious, cooked perfectly and the burger was huge, just the right number of toppings and the bacon jam hit it out of the park. The sweet potato fries were excellent and enough for two people. The chips that come with the burger were also good. My wife had the regular burger with no cheese and an order of regular fries. She really enjoyed it and said it was cooked perfectly. The staff was friendly, the owner, Mel, greeted us, took our order and chatted with us while our order was being prepared. We were given a little disc that lit up and vibrated when the order was ready to be picked up at the counter. One of the best burgers around! A little pricy, but definitely worth it! We'll be going back for another delicious mouthwatering experience!“

“Dauod and his staff are amazing“

“My family used to come here every single weekend. We’ve since moved out of state, so we can’t visit anymore — but in my 10 years of living in New York, out of every Korean BBQ place I tried across NY and NJ, this one was the best.

Everything is prepared so cleanly and carefully that I never had a second thought about bringing my kid along. Highly recommend.“

“Been loving this restaurant for years… it is an absolute gem.

They offer an incredible banchan spread - clean, tasty, well balanced, never too sweet/salty - all homemade with care by their sajangnim (who also oversees the room with understated competence, the pro that she is).

Wife and I usually get chadolbegi and samgyupsal, and the cuts are always top quality. And you must know that their gyeran-jjim & denjang-jjigae (included with the meal set) are elite.

We always leave full and satisfied with the dining experience.

Notable that all of the servers are so attentive and friendly - especially Ms Kang, Ms Cho, and Helen unni (super mom of four grown kids!)… we always feel welcomed here, a neighborhood spot staffed by friends & family.

There are so many eateries in Fort Lee & Pal Park, which is of course a blessing… but Moo & Oink stands out and deserves all the stars!“

“Amazing food! They catered an event at Finger Lakes Distilling and everything was fabulous. The shrimp curry was my favorite. Also the hot sauce is to die for!!!“

“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.“

“Food is very good but pricy: every thing is an add on. 4 stars for price of food., special right now is 1/2 off boba drink with purchase of a bowl (3/30/26)
Service was friendly and great, food wait time 10 min for 2 bowls and a platter
Smal place, bar for sitting, however parking is limited with small spaces. (I’d park at Tous Les Jours across the street~same owner)“

“best bbq in Only In New Jersey😍“

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

“Great food Great staff Brisket is absolutely amazing“

“Best wings I’ve ever had!! The only words that describe is simply amazing. Has become one of my favorite Jersey spots, and the cornbread is fantastic. The staff is incredibly nice, best service ever!!❤️❤️❤️“

“맛있네요! 이동네 오래간만에 갈한만 갈비집이 생겼어요!! ^^“

“We had such a great experience here! Everything was absolutely delicious. We ordered the beef noodles with vegetables and the dumpling soup, and both were excellent. The complimentary side dishes were incredibly tasty, and we loved learning that many of the vegetables are grown by their own garden it really shows in the freshness and flavor.

The tea was also wonderful and paired perfectly with the meal.

The prices were very reasonable for the quality and generous portions. We enjoyed everything so much that we even ordered extra food to take home for our kids.

Friendly service, amazing food, fresh ingredients, and excellent value.

We will definitely be coming back.
Highly recommended! ⭐“

“It's such a futuristic way of getting your Korean fried chicken. So simplistic so to the point crunch is phenomenal, And even though it's made to order it's still fast! It reminds me of those individual food dining cubbies/booths for people who like minimal contact/interactions during dining that I've tried in Japan before. A lot of the items that I wanted were sold out but the experience was so well that I will go back again in hopes to get those items ☺️

(I'm not a spicy person but if you are the bokki is perfect for you, to me it was too spicy to enjoy unfortunately, even with the cheese added. But everything else about the bokki was spot on delicious!)“

“I highly recommend this place! The food is amazing, and the flavors are unforgettable!“

“Overall, we had a very good dining experience. The food was delicious, especially the steak — it was flavorful, cooked very well, and the portion size was generous and very satisfying. The chicken was also very good. The butter served with the bread was absolutely delicious and a great touch. The asparagus served with the steak was also very well prepared and complemented the dish nicely.

The only disappointment was the potato; I felt it could have been more flavorful and better prepared.

Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed with the cleanliness of the restroom. It was very dirty, and someone had clearly vomited in the sink area, but it had not been cleaned. For a restaurant of this quality, this was not acceptable and did not match the overall experience. I hope more attention can be given to hygiene and cleanliness.

We also called ahead to make a reservation, but we were told that due to the restaurant being full, we needed to come in person and put our name on the waiting list. We did that, but we ended up waiting more than 40 minutes before being seated. I understand that busy times happen, but the waiting process could be managed in a more organized way.

The food quality was great, but I believe there are areas where the restaurant can improve, especially regarding cleanliness and guest experience. I hope this feedback is taken into consideration.“

“me & my boyfriend always come here. the food is incredible, coffee OUTSTANDING and the workers are always sweet. definitely a place to check out!!! i’d recommend the mango shake, coffee, mexican tacos, burritos, their salmon bowl, and their taco salads!!“

“Michelle is the best bartender Friendly atmosphere great wings Redd is great too!! Busy nite Michelle was awesome! Handled the crowd like the pro she is!!!“

“I was here on several occassions, especially with my best guyfriend and best ladyfriend's birthdays. Love the K-Pop music on display, and the waiters/waitresses are excellent for their presentation and service.“

“love their food since day one and works are so friendly and upbeat 🤗😎“

“great underated place“

“We love this place. Great food especially their soups on cold days.“

“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..“

“I love this place! Jonathan is very nice, and the food is awesome. From the amazing beef chili (very hearty and tasty) to the crunchy footlong(?) corn dog (yum!) and the BBQ Beef Brisket... and the grilled Teriyaki Wings), everything was terrific with lots of flavor. Great service too. Two thumbs up, way up! 👍👍“

“Been a repeat customer for years. This food always hits the spot. Deliciously grilled beef and pork ribs, steaks, bbq chicken. The meats are full of flavor and the portions typically leave us enough to eat the following day. The sides are great too, we usually go with rice and beans. Staff is friendly, service is good and food comes out pretty quick. Place gets busy and on-site parking can be a little tight.“

“As food and travel enthusiasts, we’ve had Korean BBQ all over the world, and Cast Iron Pot delivers a very enjoyable experience. The restaurant is exceptionally clean, the atmosphere is lively, and the service truly stands out. The staff was attentive from the moment we arrived, frequently checking in, changing the grill when needed, and making sure we always had everything we needed.

The only reason for the 4-star rating is the quality of the meat. While the selection is generous, we were expecting more premium cuts with better marbling and tenderness. Upgrading the meat quality would elevate the entire experience and easily make this one of the top Korean BBQ destinations in the area.

If you’re looking for great service, a spotless restaurant, and a fun place to enjoy Korean BBQ with family or friends, Cast Iron Pot is definitely worth a visit.“
