Monty’s is tough to review. I’ve been here several times since they’ve opened. The food has ranged from absolutely top notch, to blah. The first time I went, when they first opened, I was truly impressed. I recommended it to everybody. Then my friends went, based on my recommendation, and were let down. An inconsistent product, but very good when you catch them on the right day!

Got some ribs, chopped brisket and pulled pork for Superbowl party. Everything was A+.The ribs were fall off the bone soft and flavorful. The brisket was moist and tender and not overly fatty. Made sliders with the pulled pork. I’ve been to most of the Bbq places in Monmouth County, IMHO, this #1.

Talk about an amazing barbeque spot. Step into Monty's and find out where it's at. The menu up against the wall speaks for itself. We are talking major eats...brisket, ribs, pulled pork, and smoked turkey. Pictures will be posted. The atmosphere makes you feel like you're at an outdoor cookout waiting to dig in. Has that warm family vibe to go with a homestyle throwdown. Another thing to mention is the dipping sauce that comes with the meal...one of a kind. Definitely recommended if you are looking to get that barbeque fix. Take my word for it and go check it out.

I have been going to Monty's for a while now, and one of the most important things to me as a restaurant is consistency. Everytime I go to Monty's it is like a treat, I enjoy the food, the people, and the atmosphere. They are the best bbq I have every tried from NJ, everything I have tried from them were spot on. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves bbq.

Best BBQ around NY, although it's in NJ! Smokey and succulent ribs, moist corny corn bread, I'm in heaven!

I was really impressed with the brisket...and everything else. Brisket is the most challenging to not only cook right, but handling it so it remains moist is where places fall short. Each time I've had the brisket it's been top notch. The pulled pork has nice bits of outer bark blended in and flavorful. I'm not a rib aficionado, but they were really nicely flavored and tender without dripping off the bone. Looking forward to trying the turkey next. Are TX-style sausages something in the future for Monty's (asking for a friend)?? Oh, and service is super friendly and place inside has a nice rustic vibe.

As a NJ transplant from OK, I will preface by saying I am VERY picky about BBQ (and I can be snooty about this cause I know all my native NJ folks would have some serious issues finding a quality veal parm in OK). I can make perfect brisket on my smoker that has been the result of a 40-year learning curve. I have eaten at all the big names in TX BBQ. When I get bad BBQ, I get all bent outta shape cause I just wasted a wallet full of money on something that people should have high quality control for it's price per pound. I just finished eating a pound of Monty's smoked brisket and a side of mac and cheese. I write this review with a tear in my eye as I remember my first bites of brisket and how I fell in love. This BBQ is legit and I can officially say that NJ has a great TX-style BBQ joint. The brisket was moist and had a great flavor. It wasn't over-smoked and had a great bark. It wasn't overly peppery but had a good season to it. The pit-master knew what they were doing and nailed it. I have grown to accept that BBQ is expensive as it is a laborious undertaking to prepare. The price point was great for the serving size and I felt this meat was worth every penny.Now...the mac and cheese. If the lid to your to-go container is busting at the seams, you're doing it right. The flavor was great and the large shells are a good call to hold all the yummy sauce. I forgot about the delicious brisket for a few minutes and went ham on the mac and cheese. I only ordered the brisket and mac and cheese for the purpose of being judgmental and picky as any self-respecting BBQ joint should be able to handle these two staples. Monty's has given me faith in NJ BBQ again. Well done!
Unreal BBQ joint in Jersey. I've found myself eating here 3 days in a row (on more than one occasion) ... it never gets old. Consistently amazing food and great people.
