In March 2014, they expanded from their East Village location, which had been open for less than two years, right into NJ. I was able to stop by with my brother just several weeks in, and all I can say that the food was FANTASTIC!
Not only are the meats, complete with a variety of pickled fixings upon request, delicious, but the food is very reasonably priced too, especially compared to two other BBQ places I love--Fette Sau and Hill Country. (A serving of meat with choice of pickled vegs runs from $7 to $9)
I ordered the brisket, which is what everyone talks about and is probably the hands-down best meat to get on the menu. It was tender, moist, and flavorful, and was served with a small charred end piece on top of my serving. The pickles consist of two types of coleslaw, pickled red onions, pickled celery, pickled peppers (only mildly spicy), and half sour pickles.
The burnt ends were tasty, but it wasn't quite what we expected. They were simmering in a zesty bbq sauce and felt more like a stew. This would probably be very good if you order it as a sandwich though. I was looking for more of that charred carcinogen flavor(!) when you think of eating burnt ends.
We ordered a side of wings, which were great. They were crisp and tossed with scallions and sesame seeds, and had more of an Asian flavor profile.
Lastly, sides were ok but not quite memorable...at least the fries were decent. A small order was only $3.
The broccoli was the only part of the meal that was forgettable...everything else was great.
This was still an awesome meal, and this spot is definitely going to be one of my go-to spots in Jersey!
