45 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Springfield

“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!“

“Really enjoyed my meal. There were a lot of meat and veggie choices, and liked cooking on the Korean grill and hot pot. I got the seafood soup, and it was great. My favorite were the bulgogi, short ribs, and the prime ribeye steak! Washed everything down with some cold soju. Service was great. The place had a modern, friendly vibe to it. Had a great time!“

Even though I'm not close by anymore, we still come here a few times a year. The food is great, the wines are great, the service is great, the staff is great, the atmosphere is great, the decor in the dining room is great.... there's nothing I can say that isn't great!!!“

“We had ribs with fries and rice and everything was delicious. Actually, the fries were the best I’ve ver had at a BBQ Place. The owner explained that they are not frozen; they’re freshly cut in the store and the oil is frequently changed; that explains the flavor. The ribs were to die for. We’ll be back!“

“So good when I say so good I mean it.... it was so good that after a few bites I had to stop and take a nap. Yes I said it is like Thanksgiving Dinner... the Food is so comforting it melts your soul to make you feel like you are at home.

That is with out talking about the sauces which are amazing. Well done Chefs. ?“

“Texas Roadhouse in North Plainfield, NJ, is outstanding!! It is our first time here (recommended by our steak-loving Foodie Friemd)The food is spectacular! The steaks are PERFECTION! and the BREAD...... Warning: THE HOME-MADE BREAD IS ADDICTIVE!! Do NOT eat 5 baskets of bread (like my mom is doing!) Because you will get FULL and you want to make sure you come here VERY HUNGRY to appreciate this FANTASTIC food!! Customer Service: EXCELLENT! Our waitress, TORI, is WONDERFUL, very friendly, efficient, and FAST! Then the Manager comes around to make sure everyone is happy. Our Manager is MEGAN and she was super cool!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this restaurant, especially if you LOVE steak, BREAD, and overall GREAT food! We LOVED everything we ordered!--- Cynthia & family from Edison, NJ“

“Sir Rogers, I found your spot behind the legendary Prison which is known all over the world like the on movie Lock Up and many more. It’s now two months ago that I tasted your delicious and heavenly food, it’s true, it’s real and it’s made with the love for food and ingredients. What I truly can say you got the best BBQ from the east to the south and I traveled more than 20 stops through the USA.Thank you for this amazing experience, the Hawaii guy from Germany.Best regardsJesse Vincent Van BurenSee ya next time, stay blessed“

“The staff was wonderful but the brisket is incredible and tender. My hats off to the chef! Better than famous Dave’s brisket. They have these amazing Brussel sprouts that I could make a whole meal out of. I’ll be returning soon. FYI Everything is a la carte“

“Ordered the Asun combo with jollof rice, and I must say this is the best Nigerian restaurant I've eaten from since getting here. It was 10/10. You'll know that the chefs know how to cook, not all these random people selling food here & there.Slightly expensive, but compared to other African restaurants it's just like $2-5 more, so it's totally worth it in my opinion.Can you guys please venture into other things like pepper soup and small chops???I simply can't deal with these other restaurants selling nonsense lol. Thanks in advance.“

“Paulo’s BBQ is a hidden gem catering to the South Plainfield community. The food is fresh and delicious, and the drinks, particularly the spicy mango margarita, is a MUST. The manager, Matheus and his exceptional stsff exceed expectations to ensure every visit is memorable and pleasurable. If you find yourself in the area, don't hesitate to give this place a chance. You'll leave satisfied, guaranteed.“

“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.“

“Typical tasty portuguese barbecue with huge portions. Differently from other places, this one has a liquor license. The place looks like an old diner, very charming. There is parking in the back. Cheap, great for takeout but comfortable for dine-in.“

“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!!“

“My favorite food truck! Zee & Eddie make it feel like home, the food tastes like home, and it's a true testament to giving the customer an experience. Everything I've had on the menu has been delicious. Empanadas, shrimp, pernil, chicken... the rice!! The mac... and OMG the bread pudding. Just go... you won't be disappointed!!“

“This place is a diamond in the rough!!! I would recommend this to anyone coming to New York or New Jersey…. The food was amazing we had both steak and sea bass and it was cooked to perfection!!!! The hospitality was second to known!!! It was such a great experience.“

“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!“

“Amazing food, amazing waitress the only down side we wish they had more variety on drinks and cocktails who ever is the owner to upgrade your experience please add wine and cocktails to your menu so the explosion of customers starts to come this is a beautiful spot for elegant and feels private restaurant very quiet just amazing dining experience ????“

“Best chilli dogs in the world. Bar none! I no longer live in the area but I’ve been going there for over 40 years. If it doesn’t snow too much, we may just drive down to Plainfield from the PA tomorrow to have a couple. Don’t sleep on the chilli cheeseburger either. Fire!“

“I love ordering food from the Pit from time to time. Their ribs and chicken are always on point !Friendly service and the added outside seating is great.This a great little gem in the town of Bloomfield. Highly recommended!*I always order either the combo or the half order of pork ribs which is plenty of portion for one.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I was in the mood for some biryani and kabab so badly . My husband and I stopped in for a quick bite. As soon as we walked in they were deep cleaning the kitchen area and I took a look and it was all very very clean . The food was served hot and delicious . The workers also very respectful .The place is small and simple but don’t be fooled their food is very yummy . The biryani was really good .“

“Omg! This is my favorite place in Rahway! The people here are so nice and genuinely feel like they’re happy we’re there. This was the first place I visited when I moved to Rahway and continues to be a good time. 10/10 recommend this place, food, drink, ambience, love this place!“

“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.“

“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!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Food is always great and very consistent. Even on Saturday night, it's ready quickly. We get take-out frequently; at least twice a month. It's so good every single time. One thing I appreciate is the quality of the chicken; so often from other restaurants it's tough or fatty which is gross, but this place's chicken is always cooked correctly with no fatty pieces. Lemon chicken is amazing.“

“The best Uruguayan style grilled meat in the USA. The friendly and attentive service like the South Americans provide and the quality of the food with the usual preparation care. Meat cooked on a Uruguayan style wood grill in plain sight and at the point of choice. Safety pin.“

“Been here lots of times.. Great place for Portuguese BBQ. Always delicious, lots of options and a very friendly staff. You can dine in or take out.Parking: About 20 spots in the lot next to the building and plenty of free street parking.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu“

“This is a small place with tons of charm. They have a few tables inside to eat as well as some outside. The food is season well. You can actually taste the firewood they use. My favorite by far was the season paella. They have a good variety of empanadas. I had beef and Buffalo chicken. They both were good with enough meat inside. You get a good amount of food. The staff is so friendly. I can wait to come back and try other dishes.“

“This place is like home. It’s been around for so many years, grew up eating here. So hospitable. The chicken delicious and juicy and everything is made from scratch! The rice and beans yummy! Always on point and everything is ALWAYS consistent, taste and texture has never changed which I love! Because I know what I am expecting already.“

“Let me tell you a little about this place you'd never guess in a million years it's a restaurant due to it being in an old train station building! The service is amazing and the food is phenomenal! I was working nearby and stumbled across this spot and any time I work there I come here to get lunch! I've came back multiple days in a row that's how great it is! Wish there was one close by me!“

“Bloomfield BBQ is top-notch food 100%!! Prices are reasonable. Oh, it's also better than the BBQ on the corner of Davenport Ave & 6th Street. Stephanie's Barbecue IV .Food low quality when you ask for 1/2 of chicken combo, they don't include breast only low end of the chicken.. don't get started on ribs more bone than meat seriously.. and I'm only 4 house away.. that sucks.. that's why travel 4 blocks. To a better place... BLOOMFIELD BBQ.. THANK YOU..“

“Most of these places serve same or different plates. But this one in particular their servings are huge, so tasty and good. Ask for picadillo(chicken, pork, beef, shrimp, sausages) you'll remember my choice.Vegetarian options: Salads, steamed carrots, potatoes, cabbage.Dietary restrictions: Na your choice of salads, chicken, bc vegetablesParking: 10 to 12 spots, street optionalKid-friendliness: Family indoors eating areaWheelchair accessibility: Wide open entrance“

“By now everybody knows this spot.When you get a chance to come down check-out Burnet BBQ. The Rotisserie Masters in the house. It's perfect every single time. I don't know how they do it I usually get the chicken with steamed veggies and rice.“

“One of my favorite spots in the area. The atmosphere is homey & laid back with eclectic cool vibes. Even though it was a busy Saturday afternoon The service is fast & friendly just how I love my customer service. Then on top of all that... the food is very good. I got a simple pizza slice and devoured it so mad I didn't get two slices. The menu has lots of options and everything looks great.“

“This place knows how to bbq meat! Awesome ...very reasonable price, great, great quality, quick service. And the place was hopping.There were only a couple tables outside to eat, but I guess the place is known as a take out place. Very good, very busy!!“

“This is a take out place for amazing Portuguese barbecue chicken. It comes with rice, French fries, and a roll. The chicken is fall off the bone tender and very flavorful. The price is very reasonable. You can call ahead and place an order for pick up. Parking can be a challenge at certain times so it’s easiest if 2 people go and one runs in to get the food while the other drives around the block. It’s worth the little bit of challenge to enjoy their great chicken and rice!“

“Very nice people. Grilled chicken a little hard and too much seasoning. Actually I would say there is a lot of seasoning on all the meat which makes this not a good dinner spot when I'm feeding my mom. I like it though. Veggies are good and potatoes and salad dressing. Soup is so good. All yummy.“

“Grew up Down Neck this place is as good as your favorite restaurant in Newark. Chorizo is perfectly fatty and salty. BBQ chicken is tender inside and out. They use the bigger shrimp in the shrimp in garlic unlike Spanish Sangria which has the best but it's still good“
