    Recently found this place. Not bad bbq for New Jersey. Meat can be a little dry but good overall for the price

    The food was good and the service was pretty good. Problem is that it's dirty as hell. Floor is super sticky, door is sticky (like they wipe the door handle but people push on the door - disgusting).
