They smoke them then fry them. Delicious!! Def the highlight for me. I'll preface with my rating is based on the wings so could be a little misleading. We got the build a platter with ribs, pulled pork and brisket with a side of fries, mac and the corn bread. I love ribs but these were a little tough. Brisket & pork were ok. Fries were a little over seasoned/salty for my liking. I was excited for the corn bread but disappointed. Very odd texture and no flavor. Not sweet, not savory, just nothing. The mac also lacked flavor. We didn't try the sandwich featured on the show but think we tried enough to get a good idea. I don't frequent the area but will definitely return for the wings if I'm there this summer. Self service but staff was friendly.

We stopped in for lunch at Local Smoke BBQ and had a pleasant experience overall. The service was…read morefast and very friendly, which set a great tone right away. The BBQ was good (not great but solid. Irealize this is subjective), and definitely satisfying for a casual bite. One letdown was the jalapeño poppers, which were bacon-wrapped rather than the traditional style, and not really our thing. Drink options are limited to sodas and water which was unfortunate as a small beer selection would've taken things up a notch, especially with BBQ. Their BBQ sauces are top notch, though - make sure to try them all. Also, the chili is absolutely spectacular. That said, everything else we ordered was tasty and well-prepared, and the overall vibe was laid-back and welcoming. Worth a visit if you're in the area and craving a quick, hearty meal.

Driest least tender crap brisket ever had! Stopped going to this spot several years ago because…read morethey screwed up our order every time, several times in a row. Was pretty good back in the day. Nothing awards worth winning but good. I can make better in my back yard on the weber. Tried this joint again, tonight, for the first time in several years and more than disappointed! The brisket sandwich was like a beef jerky sandwich, dry very chewy and no way smokey and tender. Seriously the worst brisket I have ever had at a smoke joint! Never again, and if you want good smoked food look elsewhere. Would give negative five stars for the joint if I could. Really, if I can make better smoked food in my back yard, why is this place still in business? Go somewhere else.

This restaurant is dedicated to happiness. I've been here about a dozen times over the years, and…read moreI wouldn't say my experience is the same each time. Rather, each time they see what I need when I dine on my own, or what my family needs when we dine together, and they provide it. It could be fast service, a little extra steak, or a dessert we didn't order. Their beef dishes are so good and so value-priced I rarely stray. But I've never had a meal here I didn't enjoy. I'm stuffed tonight and about to walk out the door with enough leftovers for a steak and egg brunch (a big one). Looking forward to my next dozen visits!

An odd little place, but good for lunch…read more We were there mid-afternoon and the place was empty. Our server (one of the owners) was very friendly and attentive. At her suggestions we ordered the piri piri mixed grill to share between the two of us. Although it comes with rice and french fries, we opted for the fries + a salad for a $1.75 upcharge. It also comes with garlic bread and olives. The garlic bread was tasty. The french fries were spot-on: arrived hot from the fryer and were nice and crisp. The salad was also very good, especially considering February in NJ. The lettuce was fresh and crunchy and I didn't see any brown or wilted leavesl. The tomatoes were the sad pale imitation of real tomatoes - I'd use cherry tomatoes or leave them out if I were making a salad this time of year. The only dressing offered was oil and vinegar, which was fine with us. There was plenty of meat on the platter, a good varity of chicken, pork and beef, and it was well-seasoned. However, it was a bit dry and tough (except for the chicken, which was good). I felt that a sauce of some sort on the meat would have improved it a lot. We like Portuguese/Brazilian food a lot. I think we'll likely go back and try something else.

We have been getting take out from Norah's for about a decade and loved every meal…read more Unfortunately I cannot write that about the takeout my husband picked up last night. I ordered beef ox tails which were always in a flavorful brown gravy over white rice with sweet plantains and sautéed cabbage with some mixed vegetables. Last night they were in a sauce that is best described as a sticky, gluey bbq sauce that I have never experienced there in the past. There was just a tiny amount of sautéed cabbage though I was grateful for it as a palate cleanser. One piece of sweet plantain, in all fairness, I did order the small versus a large order. The rice was unpleasant with that dark, sticky sauce already stirred into it so there was no escaping it. (Today I took an entire pint of leftover white rice from a previous oriental meal and stirred it into Norah's rice to make it at least edible though still not delicious like it used to be.) I am extremely disappointed Norah seems to have changed her beef oxtails brown gravy recipe. For me ... it completely changed my opinion about her beef oxtails. I miss how it used to taste.

They had a Friday pizza night deal where pizzas were all $15 and came with a bottle of Chianti for a $10 up charge. While this was a good deal, I didn't really fall in love with anything we ate. The sidepiece pizza was drier than expected considering ricotta was one of the cheeses on it and the Caesar salad and Buffalo calamari didn't really stand out. We did enjoy the inside out pizza though. Because there are so many other places to eat in the area I see this as more of a place to grab a drink if you are passing through.

It had blackened steak bites, fresh pico, and cheddar jack cheese, served inside crispy lettuce wraps with a side of their special rice. It was flavorful, however the juices were a little messy, but worth it. I also ordered the Spicy Cheeseburger Nachos ($19) to share. Good seasoning on the beef with jalapeños and onions, but note that it didn't come with sour cream or guac like traditional nachos but the cheese was layed. I washed everything down with a diet coke ($3.50). Service was ok, a little slow and it wasn't that busy. But no real complaints. The inside was huge and was a nice bar area and seating area in the back large enough for a dance floor. I have no doubt this place gets back. Loved the food, it was really that good, and would be back if I am in the area.
