41 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Caldwell

“Ordered some nice meat for delivery, so I can really only comment on the food here. Okay, and the delivery. Super quick. When I ordered, it said 45-60 minutes for the food to be prepared (as a standard message), and then told me delivery would take 45-60 minutes. Does that mean I'm waiting 90+ minutes for food? Nope, it came to the door in 40 minutes tops. Great job. As for the food: We've got the meats! I can say that most of the meat was a bit overdone, but it was made fresh and then delivered, so that will keep the meat cooking and I fully acknowledge that. The sausage was excellent. The wings were skimpy and not really worth it. The chicken and steak were both flat and thus both faster to cook. Meat overall was a bit chewy and tough, but again, that's upon delivery. I really liked the flavor, and they did include a nice spicy hot sauce at my request. Verdict: Will need to go back in person to try this out!“

“The best decision I made was to order the half chicken instead of the quarter. Cooked fresh to order, bursting with flavor and a healthy meal what more could you want. Know before you go - the restaurant doesn’t look like much and because the food is cooked to order call ahead or be prepared to wait 20 minutes.Absolutely recommend for something different, delicious and affordable. Will be back soon!“

“Today, I visited Meet Moot and was captivated by its ambiance. The sophisticated furniture and stylish lighting fixtures created a delightful atmosphere. The beef ribs and lamb shank were exceptional—so tender and juicy! However, our experience started confusingly. The ordering process was disorganized and there was no one to welcome or guide incoming customers.Despite Meet Moot's potential for an excellent dining experience, it was marred by inconsistent service. For a premium price, I expect a higher standard of dining.“

“I had such a great experience here thanks to my waitress which was Angie and She was such a nice and welcoming person and she did a god job attending to my needs and she was very respectful and friendly. I will definitely be coming back and request Angie as my waitress because she was the best.“

“I have been going here for years and they never disappoint. The food is always fresh and the service is excellent. He is so friendly and welcoming to everyone. His makes you feel like you’re old friends. They always have a customer in me. I refer everyone to go!“

“Love this place! Great food, great drinks, service is always speedy and pleasant. Depending on what time and day you go you'll have a variety of different but interesting people to chat with, unless you just feel like people watching which is fine too.“

“The charcoal grilled half chicken was so delicious, moist & flavorful. Meg’s corn concoction & collard greens were delicious. What an awesome place with friendly service & fair prices. Such a nice change of pace for dining options. I was also talking to a customer who had the brisket meal with coleslaw & mac cheese which he said was amazing. I would highly recommend right off Rt 23.“

“The overall feel and ambiance of this restaurant is definitely Korean-vibes. However, the cost of the food is beginning to really climb over these last handful of years. I have gone to this restaurant a bunch of times prior, and most especially prior to 2020. Yet, noticeably, the cost is rising. Ample parking, though. Quality well cooked/home-cooked Korean food and prompt service. Tasty!“

“this place is a hidden gem!!! the bulgogi bowls are always so delicious and tender, and the service is consistently amazing!! this sweet young lady even gave me a new item on their menu to try for free! i recommend to everyone!! ☺️☺️“

“I have been coming to McWhorter Barbecue for years. The food, the people, and the ambiance are amazing. And the price can't be beat. This store has been around for years and will continue to do so. It's one of the safe havens in Newark. They will always get my business.“

“Recently stopped in to grab some dinner. I have to say it was one of the best food experiences that I’ve had in a long time from any restaurant in Kearny; will definitely come back. Yuca tots are 100% worth the try, brisket was on point, Best, Cuban rice and beans I’ve had in a long time. My husband was blown away by the potato salad. Everything had great flavoring!“

“The space is small, but this is more of a takeout place. The portions are large and therefore you don't need to make many orders and the food is great. Everything is ready when they tell you it will be. you don't have to wait for your order for too long. I definitely recommend as a quick solution if you don't feel like cooking.“

“Visiting family in NJ and dined at Jollof and grill. Food was great!! Reminded me of back home. Tilapia was very delicious and moist. Fried yam was piping hot and fresh. The ayamase could have used some more meat though...otherwise, everything was on point. We need a jollof and grill in the DMV area. Please make it happen!!“

“We wont ever get enough of Elm Street BBQ. I grew up a couple houses down from this location and am no longer a Newark resident but I refuse to get chicken from anywhere else. So I gladly travel some miles to pick up some delicious BBQ chicken.“

“Bomb ass food. Had an appt nearby and decided to check in. Ordered shrimp tacos and grilled chicken with rice/peppers. Simple dishes but they perfected it. Lorena was sweet and attentive. The place gives that authentic feel - I really felt like I was in Mexico! Everyone was under 4ft, the decor was Mexican-esque and the music was perfectly aligned. Would return for sure!!“

“I Love this place! Ever since moving to the area this has been my go to for a quick & always delicious, satisfying meal. Chicken cutlets are homemade & particularly good. It’s a cozy , decidedly & charmingly old- fashioned grill/ eatery reminiscent of bygone jersey days.It’s a vibe all it’s own.“

“We dine in yesterday with bunch of friends and because of that we made advance reservations, upon arrival we got to sit right away. Overall experience with service, food and ambiance is great ? food quality and quantity was really good. Highly recommended for meat lovers.“

“Very good food. It's a usually busy place for a kind of cuisine that's ubiquitous in the area. They've mastered the art of the order in that your food is cooked fresh and quickly. When in a need for the typical platter, this is definitely the place to go.“

“Located right off McCarter Highway in Newark right by South Street. This Manny's is way different than the others I have visited. A big platter is still $8 and empandas are still $2. I ordered stewed chicken with rice & black beans. Chicken was juicy & falling off the bone, rice was cooked well, not over cooked as were the beans. I ate this food for 3 days as the portion size is huge. I will be back...“

“Honestly I only caught the place for the last hour of the night but I had fun and most importantly actually got that after work drink i was craving. Glad there are a few places open after the regular bar scene or staff (from other bars) would have nowhere to go and sit for one.“

“I only gave the Atmosphere a 4 cause I haven't had a drink in here yet however, I did have the philly cheesesteak,the chicken tender platter and the nacho with Chilli and boy I tell you the food is on point so I can imagine the drinks. Customer service is awesome aswell I will definitely be coming back and forth when I'm in the area.Parking: Plenty available parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Spacious ramp right in the front, very convenient.“

“We ordered catering from North Newark BBQ for a business event, and the food was outstanding. The pork ribs and rotisserie chicken were perfectly cooked and tender, seasoned just right with a flavorful dry rub. We also ordered a seafood platter, which was a big hit! The garlic green sauce paired wonderfully with the freshness of the shellfish. Danny & Cilinha executed my requests flawlessly and delivered everything on time. If you're seeking a unique dining experience, this is the place to go!“

“Cheese fries were crispy, drums were fried perfectly. Great flavor. Hot & fresh. The biscuits stole the show. We also got a discount they have running and it was a great bang for our buck. Thank you. You’ll definitely be seeing us again.“

“One of my favorite dishes at Los Jarros is the vegetarian taco salad. It's made with a bed of lettuce, rice , black beans, pico, cheese, (add jalapenos for spice!) and sour cream. The star of the show, though, is the guacamole. It's made with fresh avocados, cilantro, onions, and tomatoes, and it's absolutely delicious.The whole meal is incredibly flavorful, and it's a great option for vegetarians or anyone looking for a lighter meal. I highly recommend it! Wonderful service every time i order“

“This restaurant is a favorite of my family. The owners are portugese and friendly. The food is delicious and fresh and made to order. I order ahead of time, and it's always ready when I arrive. And they know me by name. The only thing is NO PARKING... Have to park on the street...!!!“

“Food is always good to excellent. Good hard working regulars always say hello; many have become good friends. The Portuguese " Cheers" kind of sums it up. Karokee on a Friday or Saturday brings a mix of music from people who just love to sing and to be around good people.“

“First time eating in, we have always order combos to go and first time trying their fish, big portions, descent prices, atmosphere is not the best, parking is a pain, they have 4 spots on the back and their parking lot is share. Eating area could use some TLC but if you are there just for the food you are good to go.“

“This place is awesome! Plenty of assorted appetizers to please all. Had the pierogi with kielbasa very satisfying and then the wings which were not batter dipped but with a spicy rub and those were delicious, crispy and yet juicy inside! Service is on point! Atmosphere very friendly and very local Sinagac crowd! Definitely a repeat!“

“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!!“

“My frist time there all was good, but this time just Wow. The steak was very under cooked and very over seasoned. The amount of peper was enough for 4 steaks. The service was rushed. Got dinner before we finished the appetizers. The dessert tasted old. Not sure if I will give it another try ! Sad because the frist time I was amazed.Well tried it again and food and service was very good. Will try again and update it . Maybe last time just had wrong cook and serve“

“The food was very good. I order a burger and fries and the hat kitchen sampler which was very very good. I recommend the latter with what ever you order. The crowd was mixed age and very friendly. The bar maid could have been a little more attentive to my order request as that was my first time there, you know what they say about first impressions. The music was on point. There's also two pool tables and a dart board for your pleasure. An for those who partake there are hookah pipes available too.Suggestion to the owner place a message on the answering machine stating time and days of operation. I almost didn't go because no one answered the phone as I'm not from the neighborhood but I took a chance glad I did. If ever I found myself in orange again I will surely stop by for a bite and to whip some tail on the pool table. LOL!!!“

“Food was exceptional. Def a place to go to if you’re craving some good old fashioned BBQ Portuguese cuisine. Fries were crispy to the tip. Beef ribs were phenomenal. And the chicken of course, well marinated, well cooked, and the taste was excellent. The manager, Leonardo, was kind enough to make sure my service was top shelf and enjoyable. Def coming back more often. A big thank you to the server for being quick, kind and efficient. 5+Stars“

“Fantastic place food fresh the owners r so nice. I ordered from them alot all summer and was always taken cared of by them. last two times was different my wings were not fully cooked and I was shocked. I know its a bad time right now for all of us.“

“Food was really good. The beef ribs were very well seasoned. The service was great, the young man asked me how I wanted my ribs cooked and that was a surprise to me that they can cook them to my liking. The ambiance reminds me of a college town eatery which brought me back to my college days. The only issue I had is wish it was more food for a whole platter considering the price but I'd definitely go back for more“

“Minus one star for the hairs kind of a turn off (gross) but hey doesn’t get any fresher than that as if they killed it in the back lol… good food tho I was recommended by a customer and this is my honest review. You walk in it def old school vibes the smell of burnt smoky goodness! The pork was good the sauce was good. They have huge amounts of chopped meat in the back on the bone which was cool! I also had the bread pudding but ehh hard pass.. definately one of a kind place everyone should visit all the restaurants over 4.0 ratings in east orange it means they are doing something right!“

“Chicken and Ribs platter was massive and very good, definitely recommend for 2-3 people. Plenty Portuguese inspiration can be found throughout the food and the atmosphere of the restaurant.Staff is also very friendly, try out there green sauces as well.“

“My new favorite place to go to every Sunday. The vibe, music and crowd is so much fun. Especially the caipirinha’s are my favorite. My wife and I like to listen to live samba and have a great time. Sometimes we like to come watch the football games. Love this place so much fun and great service!!!“

“This was the best restaurant I’ve been to in a while. We stumbled upon it by accident after striking out with two other restaurants in the area, and I’m so glad we did! The place was elegant, service was friendly and extremely attentive, and the food quality and quantity were impressive! Will definitely return next time I’m in the area.“

“This place is and has been excellent! Great food, great value, great service.The beef ribs or breaded steaks are excellent!In fact, when my daughter was pregnant, a few times I went in and got her an order of potatoes... they never charged me and the owner is a great guy!You can't go wrong when there's no time to cook and you want good food!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I have eaten here, for probably 20 years off and on. Usually delivery, but occasionally have eaten inside. Servers and staff always made us feel welcomed. Food is reasonably priced and portions are good.I had a ladies affair for my birthday yesterday and had it prearranged via Door Dash for 2PM delivery.Food arrived at my home ahead of scheduled time. It was packed well( presentation A plus)and piping hot.Transportated well to my venue almost an hour later, still warm.My guests enjoyed the food( 2 whole chickens, 2 orders of beef ribs, yellow rice, Spanish chips, fries, plantains, fresh steam vegetables, and 2 Seafood Paellas).Good stuff Pic Nic BBQ.“
