“Amazing food, barbecue chicken and pork ribs are so delicious and the rice is perfectly seasoned. Love this place would 1000% recommend coming here for rich and flavorful food😊

Kid-friendliness: My kids loved the French fried and chicken. There’s table where you can sit down and enjoy.“

“The food was delicious and the portions were generous. We ordered the chicken with beef/pork ribs family combo and it fed 5 of us with plenty of food left over. We did prefer the pork ribs over the beef ribs but everything was delicious. The French fries were crispy and the rice was nicely seasoned. The staff was super friendly. They offered us extra sauce and utensils and were willing to help my husband take the tray and drinks to the car.“

“Very pleased with variety of catered trays for Birthday/Mother’s Day celebration. Excellent food, excellent service. 5 ⭐️’s!“

“If your looking for authentic smoked barbecue you must check them out. Food is delicious!! Great friendly service!“

“First off, I was met with by a staff member in a cowboy hat (LOVE!) The booth was so soft and comfy and the table stands are ornate. I had the short rib and the meat was fall off the bone delicious! It was so tender and the sides were so plentiful and delicious. Each side had something a little different to pair well with the meat; sweet, salty, savory! I also had the shik Karak which was a delicious tea and for dessert, I had a banana crepe drizzled in chocolate. They do have a flair with food and I will definitely be back here!“

“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!!“

“We exoerienced Tio's while they were providing food at the NJ BeerCo. The food was outstanding! Coleslaw was phenomenal with Sriracha and mango. The ribs were unbelievable...everything exceeded expectations. And their staff was fantastic and friendly. Check. Them. Out!“

“Great food, great people 👍“

“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!“

“I wish I could give 10 stars. Anna and staff were AMAZING with their service, special sauce mixes, and celebration of our daughter’s birthday! Food was fresh and Sooooo many items to choose from.

Def will be back.

Vegetarian options: Not only vegetarian friendly but vegan friendly

Kid-friendliness: The kids loved cooking their own hot pot and using their training chopsticks provided by the restaurant“

“ATENCION ECESELENTE!!LOS CORTES MUY BUENOS Y DE BUEN SABOR..COMPRO EN KEARNY..Y MUY SATISFECHA“

“best bbq in Only In New Jersey😍“

“Love it there for sure . Great vibes and food and drinks. There is one thing I don’t like about this place their parking if for whatever reason you do not have or missed or can not used your phone to pay for the parking instead of a$6 parking space you’ll get a ticket from this private company the owner of this parking lot and they send you a $104 fee insanely high !! Taking advantage of the people and technically 3 times the fee of a larking ticket you’ll get from the Montclair police dept. Robbery for sure and taking advantage of the state to charge high fees. Be aware of people of the scam in this parking spot ..“

“While I normally do not like ribs —even the McRib— I am so glad I took a chance on Tim. I never knew ribs could taste so delicious. The meat was so tender I could pull it off with my teeth or my fingers. I will definitely buy from here again.“

“If you never ordered from here you’ll be pleasantly surprised, I usually order the plater with bbq sausage, ribs, chicken, plantains and sweets plantains it’s about $120 for a large that feeds easily 10-12 people, small $70 feeds 4-6, extremely fully of flavor, love that smoked meat, this is an absolute must try restaurant for everyone, take it to go, because you’re gonna want to eat the whole platter and you don’t want to be in public when making a pig of yourself, lol“

“Drove 37 miles to try this place and was not disappointed. We got the hot cho and cholander sandwiches for lunch and they were so good we had to trade bites. Already planning another drive down to try a bunch of the dinner options 😎“

“I would have given 5 stars because the good is real good but when I got home I was told my combo would come with 2 beef ribs and I only had one. When I called they said my combo only comes with one but that's not what I was told. But otherwise the food is good.“

“I just wanted to clarify myself to the worker in that restaurant especially the one in the front. We went at the restaurant today around 2pm. We went inside the restaurant and did not talk right away to let them know we were 2 customers, instead I stopped for a second and checked if we went to the right door. The worker in the front thought that we went in there to look for a guy and be with guy and do something. I just wanted to let that worker in the front know that we went there to eat and not to look for a guy. When we finished eating, that worker in the front got replaced with a young guy. I just don’t want the worker in there to think that we went there to look for a guy. We love to go to the church. Now a days, it is very important to do the right thing. We have a song in the church “choose the right.” Don’t judge the people by just physical appearance.
But other than that, the food was delicious. I highly recommend the restaurant.“

“Jim dandy’s is a very good place to get a quick meal for cheap with a friendly staff making you feel comfortable“

“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!!❤️❤️❤️“

“Muy buena comida riquísimo!! Se los recomiendo !!😋😋😋“

“Brazilian rodizio and the empanadas I also like the serradura (cookies and cream)“

“muy buena la comida muy recomendable 👍👍“

“This small diner is serving huge flavor, and I'm here for it! Stopped by for this chicken and sausage combo, which came with half a chicken, a thick sausage link, rice, and beans, all for just $15! The chicken was charred grilled and smoky, the sausage was very meaty and svaory, and the rice and beans were just top notch. I also added some sweet plantains and they were nice, firm, and just the right amount of sweet.

The whole experience felt like you're eating at someone's house. Very reasonably priced, great service, and I can't wait to come back!

Parking: The restaurant has a parking lot that can accommodate a few cars.“

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

“Love the atmosphere..Food is very well prepared and delicious . Staff is very ,very good. Quick to take your orders, but never rushed and very attentive..all around great place to stop for a very good meal at a good price. Checkout the lunch specials. You can’t go wrong.“

“I discovered this gem through a mutual friend and it's now my go-to Mexican spot! The prices are incredibly affordable, and the staff is exceptionally friendly. It feels like a family-owned business, which adds to its charm. I always opt for the delicious tacos or fajitas!“

“I love this place. It's my go to AYCE KBBQ. The food is delicious, the meats are fresh, and the staff are always friendly. The brisket, garlic cube steak, and cast iron steak are my favorite things to get. It's definitely worth indulging in.“

“I came here on a Saturday night and although the place was busy, the service was pretty good and there was not a wait time. The waitress was attentive and she did not take very long to bring out the food. The chicken wings and shrimp tasted good and the drinks were good too! I have no complaints about this place.“

“Awesome service Shay was our waiter. Great 🥘 food“

“Carlitos Barbecue Taqueria is a hidden gem! The food is incredibly delicious—authentic flavors that hit the spot. From the tender meats to the perfectly seasoned tacos, everything tasted fresh and satisfying. Plus, it’s super affordable, which makes it even better. Great spot for a quick bite or a casual meal with friends. Highly recommend if you're craving real-deal barbecue and Mexican street food!“

“This place is absolutely incredible I love Firepit ! I tried some menu items that I never tried before including wings and an incredibly juicy burger with fries!

For our entree I shared a bbq platter with beef ribs, pork ribs, chicken, chorizo. Everything was incredibly tasty and delicious with just the right amount of salt! For sides we also shared French fries and yellow rice with black beans“

“Great food, friendly and efficient staff. Love " the Pub" !“

“Lo máximo , me siento como estoy Perú“

“As Indian Vegetarians, we absolutely love this place. They explain everything on the menu very sweetly.

Be sure to get:
- bibambap in hot stone bowl with tofu option
- tofu soup with ramen (be sure to mention “vegetarian broth” so they don’t use the beef broth)

Overall highly recommend. Very vegetarian friendly“

“I’ve been ordering from The Pit for years the staff is always friendly, and the food is consistently fresh and flavorful. No complaints there at all.

That said, I wanted to give a heads-up for anyone ordering the beef ribs half combo. I recently ordered the same half beef rib(S) and chicken combo I’ve gotten in the past. Typically, when I order the half beef rib(s), I receive 2–3 beef chuck ribs. This time, however, I only received one rib — which was surprising, considering the plural wording and my prior experiences.

I called and spoke with Jeff, who was respectful and upfront. He mentioned that the combo only includes one beef rib and that prices have gone up (which I totally get). Still, based on my regular orders over the years, I’ve never received just one rib until now. Either way, I appreciate his transparency.

For context:
• Half chicken combo = ~$11.95
• Half beef rib(S) & chicken combo = ~$16.95

So if you’re expecting multiple beef ribs, you may want to reconsider and go for the chicken or pork ribs instead both still come in hearty portions.

To be clear, this isn’t a complaint just advice for fellow regulars or first-timers who may be surprised by the term beef rib(S)with a single rib. I’ve even added pictures in photos comparing what I received vs. the half chicken combo.

Bottom line: The Pit remains a solid spot with delicious food, generous sides, and great service just be mindful of the current beef rib portions when ordering.“

“chicken is delicious string beans potatoes fresh“

“My only complaint is that this place is a little expensive for what it is. This is a great family restaurant place. The KBBQ is a bit expensive and I didn't get it. Instead i got Bulgulgi (Kitchen) and some Bimbimbap.

Both were great. Would come back again.“

“They did a great job with my catering order. They are extremely friendly and accommodating. Everyone at the event loved both the ribs and BBQ chicken. The amount of food was great for the price. I was able to feed and have my guests take home too. Definitely recommend them for your catering needs.“

“It was an excellent dining experience.“

“Great place Great atmosphere“

“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!“
