Best barbecue in the state. We had ribs, brisket both ways, Mac & cheese, fries & Brussels. Everything just as good as the next. The side barbecue sauces on the side were amazing too, the spicy one (I believe was called Diablo sauce?) was maybe the best barbecue sauce I've ever had. We placed the order to - go from GrubHub & food was ready fast, packaged great & even travelled well. Food was still hot and fresh once we ate it. We look forward to becoming returning customers! read more

I will start off by saying I am not the biggest BBQ lover but my husband does love it. We both ordered the half rack of ribs with sides. We could have easily shared this. The portions for the meats were very big. My husband got ranch beans and sweet potato fries for his sides. While the sides were small for both of us, the sweet potato fries were for a family of 4... HUGE portion. He got at least 2 meals out of it. My sides were the Mac and Cheese which was very cheesy and delicious as well as the tomato cucumber salad. I love a good cucumber salad. Like I said before, those sides were very small. I wish I could have just had a plate of sides. The pickles they give you were also very delicious. I also don't like cornbread which came with our orders and theirs was actually sweet and moist. But like I said, as a person who really does not care for BBQ, a plate of sides would be amazing. We also got the 'Jalapeno Honey' wings which were a good size, but I didn't taste much jalapeno or honey for that matter. They were just kind of mild. My husband loved his meal but he does prefer Big Ed's BBQ in Matawan. Our whole meal was $80 which is quite a lot for no waiter service, just counter. The food was very quick and the service in general was okay. We probably would not be back, but it is worth it to check it out. They had a steady flow of customers throughout the time we were eating there. read more

10 of us ordered lunch today from the east Brunswick location. Everything was delicious and although we got 10 meals quality was not sacrificed. We will be back! read more

Came in for lunch today with co-workers. I've been here a bunch of times over the last few years and didn't realize I had never reviewed it. The food is always amazing, and today was no exception. Just spectacular. Staff is over accommodating and friendly. Sides were excellent (Mac&Cheese and Bacon Potato Salad). Corn bread is delicious. We got a good size table for the six of us to spread out. It's only a 10 minute drive from work. Need to get over there more often. Highly, highly recommend!!! read more

Ordered the smoked Burnt Ends. Someone please teach these people what a burnt end is supposed to be. The fat should be rendered and the meat should have a smooth juicy TENDER bite. NOT chewy, rubbery like what I have in front of me. The meat is tough and parts are dry, the fat is like eating an eraser, tough and rubbery! The sauce IS flavorful and tastes. That's the only good part!​ read more

Excellent customer service. Dennis orchestrated the perfect party for my Memorial Day BBQ. Everything was delicious and the quantity of food was amazing. All of my guests raved about the dishes. Ribs, pulled pork, pulled chicken were my favorites! I'd include pictures but everything went so quickly. We will be back! Thank you so much! read more

Driving down route 18 looking for a spot to grab a quick lunch that is not fast food. Came across this gem of a place. Got two of their lunch specials to go to share back home. The people inside were very friendly and service was quick. The menu inside looks newer than what was on yelp so took a few minutes to decide what I wanted. The lunch specials are very reasonable for the amount of food you get. One entree, a drink, and one side ($11-$15) The brisket sandwich was so scrumptious with the end pieces having so much of the Smokey flavor and seasonings. The fries were fresh cut and the pickles were homemade! Both the pickles and tomato cucumber salad helped cut the heaviness of the wings and sandwich. Chicken Wing Review: I was a fan of the mix of buffalo and bbq sauce wings. The two flavors melded so well together and they were coated with sauce so well. The wings were jumbo with good meat to them and not fatty at all! read more

JSBBQ & Catering Co. is on the side, on Tices Lane tucked in with two ethnic restaurants! There's a Thai and Japanese restaurant on a non-descript small strip mall of just a couple of stores nestled together. The storefront doesn't stand out and you might miss it with giants like Verizon, Loews, Walmart and Kohl's nearby but the bright side is none of these has the food BBQ factor that JSBBQ does! The place looks clean and modern. I had a large house salad plus pulled pork! It was huge and pork had the porky flavor. Greens were slightly bitter and would have been better if it wasn't but that is nature! I asked for dressing on the side and my salad came with three little cups of dressing, that is how hefty it was! The mountain of salad kept growing and I didn't make a dent. I ended up brown bagging the leftovers and it lasted for three more servings! My friend had a pulled pork sandwich with potato salad. It comes with a choice of one side. The pulled pork sandwich looked scrumptious. Potato salad needed a tad more flavor in the potatoes. Workers are helpful and even more eager to help when you provide them a tip! I would like to come back and try some more cue! read more

After spending a lot at Ross we decided on JS BBQ. It was delicious, quick service and the music was a definite vibe! Will return for sure!

For the past five years, I had to pay my sister-in-law to bring me barbecue from Texas ..well today that ended. Jersey Shore BBQ is best barbecue around these parts (in my cowgirl voice) . As soon as I walked in, someone was coming out, greeting me by holding the door. It was a regular customer. I asked if the food was good because of the smile on his face and he said "It's excellent!! This must be your first time here." I knew right away that this was going to be some good food . And I was right. The ribs were so tender. The barbecue sauce was excellent. They had a variety of sauces to choose from , the cornbread was moist. The big beans were tasteful and the brisket was simply delicious. And the service was impeccable . The guys were very kind, very serving and generous! Thank you and I'll be back. (Schwarzenegger) lol read more

Jersey Shore BBQ - Chicken Jumbo Wings. Excellent. - Barbeque Near Me - East Brunswick, New Jersey

Let's start with saying that this unassuming spot in a little strip mall has dark windows and you can't really tell what magic goes on until you enter it's doors. The restaurant is rustic and bbq-esque, clean and plenty of help yourself items. The food is just superb. I personally loved their BBQ Ribs, they truly were packed with flavor and fell off the bone. The Beef Brisket was tender, savory and succulent. The Jumbo Chicken Wings were good as well but were outshined by the former. The Mac & Cheese was pretty good but could use some pepper. The Collard Greens were tasty and I was pleasantly surprised. Cornbread was delish! The staff was certainly a bonus with a cherry on top! Very friendly, accommodating and although busy with dinner time, very attentive -- cool, calm and collected. Looking forward to going back soon! Chef's kiss read more

Dinner for three anxious to have some good barbecue. Place is tucked into a strip mall on a side street off Rte 18 and across from the Super Walmart. Easy to miss, even w a GPS. About 10 tables, really not set up for dining in, but the staff were helpful and the drinks from the soda machine and iced tea tanks were free. We had a couple of appetizers - nachos w pulled pork, good, lots of cheese, crispy nachos, and burnt rib ends, good but too much honey bbq glaze. Three entrees. All were good, meat was fresh and plentiful. Sides were good. Left w plenty of leftovers. Next time no apps, concentrate on pulled pork and maybe the ribs. Server gave us extra sauces. read more

The meat is absolutely delicious! It's a little pricey, but we usually get the Monmouth trifecta and we split it so it's cheaper that way! We order through Doordash about once a month! honestly it is the best place in the county for barbecue no lie!!! read more

Hands down the best brisket I have ever tasted. I forgive them for everything else. The beans were a bit sweet & the buffalo wings were just ok. The habanero wings were super hot & tasty. The place is casual & the service was friendly & efficient. When I go back, it will be for the brisket and I will dine in so I can enjoy everything hot. read more

Great hidden BBQ place in a small strip mall off Rt18 in E Brunswick. The chopped brisket has a little fat to it - that's a good thing - loved the flavor! Their homemade sauces have some kick, not thick and sugary. Will be going back. read more

The staff were super friendly and we had the brisket and ribs both were amazing. The cornbread, fries and Mac and cheese so good too. We went for lunch on a weekday and had no trouble getting a table. I will definitely be going back. read more

Jersey Shore BBQ is a real hidden gem for delicious dining in East Brunswick. In our takeout order, we had nachos, the pulled chicken sandwich, 1/2 chicken, and tacos. The nachos had crispy chips topped with cheese, BBQ chicken, beans, with sour cream and jalapeños on the side. These nachos were so good and had plenty of chicken on top. The pulled chicken sandwich had soft buns with lots of flavorful chicken on the inside. Their fries were crispy, perfectly salted, and had a slightly unique flavor. Just like everything else, the 1/2 chicken was well done and covered in their delicious BBQ sauce. The sides of coleslaw, bacon potato salad, and cornbread were great. I don't usually enjoy potato salad, but theirs isn't too wet and deliciously soft. The cornbread was very soft and moist. While I didn't get to try the tacos, my family loved them. Plus, the portion sizes for everything were very generous. While I sent my father to pickup the order, he kept raving about how nice the employees here are. They were kind in apologizing for the long wait, though the food honestly came out in a reasonable amount of time. Overall, it's clear Jersey Shore BBQ values their customers and I can't wait to dine in with them in the future. read more

First time coming here. Will not be last. Great customer service. Friendly atmosphere and oh yeah the food was great. Brisket, ribs, chicken wings, burnt ends fries, Mac and cheese. All delicious That corn bread though.. that corn bread,,, what. INCREDIBLE. Have to try this place read more

I have to give my props when they are due abc they are ABSOLUTELY DUE. I am absolutely in love with all types of bbq, from all over the world. But especially from from the American south / Midwest. New Jersey is not known for having good bbq , but if you look for it, you can certainly find spots that are worthy of that praise , this is one of them. The staff was very welcoming and the smell of the bbq going carried me inside The cornbread was buttery, fluffy and sweet. The portion size was good, the ribs and the sauces that came with them were great, the brisket had a good smokiness and tenderness to it. The sausage had a flavorful snap and kick and was equally as good . The other thing that we thought could be better was the Mac and cheese which were not a fan of. But overall I would definitely revisit this spot as my local bbq fix if I lived in the area. read more

A SMOKED BBQ DISCOVERY!! Traveling from the west coast to the east coast, my wife and I were in search of three delights: A Great Pizza pie White Castle Burgers Great SMOKED BBQ Ribs and Brisket We were checking everywhere between Newark, Elizabeth, Linden, Roselle and Rahway and hadn't found a true BBQ spot. Whilst visiting our parent in Robert Woods Hospital in New Brunswick, we decided to search for some good barbecue. A YELP Review led us to Jersey Shores BBQ. JSBBQ in an East Brunswick of Tices Rd on Route 18 East. Wednesday we decided to give it a shot. We ordered a Slab of Pork Baby back Ribs. Gotta say!!! We were NOT disappointed! These ribs were SMOKED, moist, succulent, red Ringed juicy. They were meaty hot and falling off the bone!! Brought smiles to our faces. We introduced to our Niece who says she doesn't eat meat on a bone. It didn't stop her. The next day we paired it with Mac n Cheese and she had two more! Friday, we decided to return and dine in for some Brisket. We chose the Chopped Brisket Sandwich meals: One with Collard Greens; the Second with Mac n Cheese. Ahhhhhh!!! Dee-lish!! The place is quaint. The place didn't have A/C. But with the big fan blowing it was fine. The Service is Texan style Hospitality. We chatted with David who gave us some history of the owner coming from Texas. (We lived in Houston for 3 years). He opened JSBBQ in 2017. I told him and Chris (I believe it was), Tell the owner, "You're doin it Right!!" This is the real deal! We will return for the Sliced Brisket just to see if this is a fluke.. So far we're BBQ Happy. read more

Me, and my partner broke down and our tow truck driver told us we had to try this place out, it's the best in town he said! And boy, he wasn't lying, the food was delicious meat on the ribs slid right off the bone, cornbread was nice and juicy everything was on point! The guy taking our order was very informative and friendly as were the rest of the staff. Everyone seemed to be very happy that we were there and we're thankful that we came. Inside the restaurant is nice and cozy. I love the decor, love the fact that I don't have to ask for a to go box because it's out there for you to grab when you need it right next to the self-serve drink fountain, being from California, and the only reason why I was there was cause I was broke down. I can only hope that I break down again when I'm in the area. read more

Ribs. Pork belly. Brussel sprouts. Sweet potato fries. All the bbq sauces. Get thematic all. The ribs are perfectly cooked. The pork belly is well smoked. The brussel sprouts are sweet, savory and deliciously charred. The sweet potato fries and the creamy sauce portions are huge and well worth your $$. Most importantly though, the bbq sauces are amazing. If they bottled their bbq sauces, I'd consider buying them by the bottle... especially the spicy one (hint, hint). read more

So let me start by saying this is a very small place with a limited amount of seating but they have some of the best bbq I've ever had. When we walked in we were greeted by a man who told us to sit wherever we wanted and tell him when we were ready to order. I ordered the rib combo with the chopped brisket and both were fantastic. It came with a half rack of ribs and a nice portion of chopped brisket, 2 sides, and a cornbread. For the sides I chose collard greens and French fries which again were both great. I highly recommend this place as the bbq was next level and better than most of the places I've tried in the south. read more

Jersey Shore BBQ - Rib combo with chopped brisket - Barbeque Near Me - East Brunswick, New Jersey

Amazing bbq, attentive staff. The ambience is jersey strip mall but the food was ine of the best bbq I've had in NJ.

Food is just OK. My biggest complaint with this place is that they close their kitchen very early and tell you that they are out of food. It's very clear that they're lying because they just clean the kitchen and don't want to get anything dirty, but they do this way too early before closing. I'm sure if the CEO knew about this, he or she would be really pissed. read more

After reading the positive reviews we decided to pickup dinner. My wife had the chopped brisket and was very pleased. I had the full rack of ribs ans was disappointed. The ribs were inconsistent with half dry rubbed and 1/2 covered in BBQ sauce. All of the ribs were extremely dry and lacking in taste. Will try again next time in town. read more

The ribs were really good, the collard greens were a little under seasoned. The cucumber tomato salad seemed like it was sitting for too long. The corn bread was good, but I'm not a corn bread connoisseur and living in the south for 14 years I definitely think this cornbread was lighter than I'm used to seeing. They gave some mild bbq sauce on the side and it was delicious. I poured it over everything and asked for more! The atmosphere was nice, the workers seemed real cool. They need to do better with their drink station. There was a weird smell in that area. Loved the country music, it was a relaxing vibe over all. read more

Finally checked this place out with my bf and we were not disappointed! We dined in but there were multiple customers that went it to pick up their order to go. My personal fave are the ribs and cornbread. Ribs were tasty and falls of the bone tender. Cornbread was so moist and it is probably the best cornbread I've had. They have numerous choices of sauces as well. Will definitely come back! read more

Really solid lunch for me and my team this afternoon. The staff were good with suggesting certain items and letting you know what paired well. We all ordered off the lunch special menu which is very affordably priced at $8-10. I went with the Chopped Brisket sandwich with mac and cheese ($1 up-charge) and drink. My total was $10. The brisket is super flavorful and it's on a nice brioche bun. The serving is very generous and I added some of their memphis bbq sauce which made it even more delicious. The mac and cheese was okay, and not the biggest portion relative to other side options. I'd try a different side next time. Others had the wings which are apparently some of the best around. I got to try the brussel sprouts which were delicious and the sweet potato fries which are amazing. Can't wait to come back and try some other items! read more

I've heard about this place from friends but today was the first time i got to try it out. The brisket that I got was flavorful and seasoned well. It was slightly dry, however, so definitely eat it with some type of sauce. The fries were crispy and salted well, cornbread tasted fresh, and the Mac N Cheese had a nice creamy texture. We also ordered the wings, (not pictured) which had a nice little kick of spicy. Service was also fantastic; when we walked in, the person at the counter took his time explaining the different entrees/portion sizes/spice levels. It was a welcome greeting for someone that's never stepped foot in this place. Would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for BBQ around the EB area. read more

I've had this place 3 times over the span of 5 or so years and every time has been a true let down. The first time was to try it out because it was new, the 2nd was because I was really craving BBQ so I hoped that they got it right after I was let down the 1st time and the final time, was tonight but only because coworkers wanted to try it. The meats are basic with very little seasoning (which they try to hide with BBQ sauce) And although there are some visible smoke rings on the brisket/ribs the texture is as if the meats were made in an oven. It doesn't give the feel of meat smoked on an official smoker. The sides are really awful. It's literally watery Kraft Mac&cheese, canned or boiled collard greens and awful baked beans with not so much as a dash of salt. My experience has been the same misery passed off as food EVERY TIME! Central Jersey needs a REAL BBQ smoke house but this ain't it guys. I assure you that you can make better food at home. Things are expensive enough as is, please don't waste your money here. read more

Expensive but worth it. Really delicious food every time. Definitely recommend if you are in the mood for bbq.
