This is the second time I have been to this location. I was served moderately warm briscut both times. The first time I ate in the restaurant and was given no utensils. Tonight I ordered takeout and was given no utensils. I also had to go back inside for cornbread I payed for and was not given. The staff is friendly however they all appear to be teenagers or young twenties. There is not any visible management in charge and this is just sad. Both times I was in the restaurant within an hour closing and I wonder if management supervision slacks off at this time or what? The flavors of the food both times were good but with not being given utensils both times in addition to the food temperatures being almost unacceptable I am surprised the doors are still open here. It is Red Bank and there are many other options for hungry people.

They are one of the Best in this area or this State, however the new Red Bank location is not set up they way the Neptune one is for ordering take outs. I went to get just a small order late yesterday afternoon for one thing and they told me I had to wait there 20 minutes or more for it. They need to have a regular take out station ! Busy or not. I walked out as I was not going to wait for one item or anything else for that matter for that length of time. Imagine if other take out places handled their take out orders the same. It is a sure way to lose customers or business.

Great food, perfect portions, and wonderful prices! The Brisket is to die for, the Mac is nearly the best wed ever had, and the collards were sweet and spicy and perfect. For $7-$8 you can get a sandwich that will knock your socks off. Staff was very nice and all smiles and the environment is clean, hip, and comfortable. 10/10, would recommend.

Food was amazing! Brisket, ribs and potato salad were so good! I wish there was more dressing on my Caesar salad though, coleslaw had a weird aftertaste and the balsamic dressing was warm. Minor things but enough for only 4. Everything else was amazing and we will definitely be going back!

Went here with the family and to be honest I dont think it was anything special. My brisket was lukewarm but I cant crush them because it was at a busy time. Baked beans and collard greens were good. Ribs were good and so was the chicken but nothing to write home about.

Very tasty food, great portion, nice price. Taking away one star because the sauces were a little thin and my husbands Cesar salad had too much dressing. The Mac and cheese bites were delicious! Cool looking place too and great blues music. Well definitely be back!

The food here is amazing! Reminds me of when I lived in Asheville, NC. The sauces were really awesome with 3 at each table. Hush puppies and jalapeno poppers are insanely good and I highly recommend them. This place is really good, definitely give it a shot!

Tj, the manager, was very attentive. Other staff was kind and friendly. Thats getting more rare these days. Food was what I ordered and tasty. I recommend the smokehouse salad for the healthier greens that are in it. #nomoreiceberg

Good barbeque for a pretty good price. Had the pulled pork sandwich (good flavor without being too heavy on the sauce) and Mac and cheese bites (super crunchy on outside, but soft on inside). Definitely going back

Originally from the southern Missouri, I like to think I know BBQ. And this is good barbecue. Im not so hip on the sweet and spicy BBQ sauce but the brisket was outstanding. Check it out!

Great menu. Brisket is awesome. Had it as salad too. Corn bread, hush puppies, tea...everything youd want and a nice space and service to. The owner is there, alawys, which matters.

No Love in the food. As a experienced barbecuer, I wouldnt come back unfortunately. No smoke ring in the brisket. Ribs were ok... Beans were delicious!!!! Sorry, two thumbs down!!!

Once got delivery, realized an item was missing and called to let them know. The manager personally came back and delivered the item. Customer service isnt that hard.

Delicious barbeque. I would eat it all the time if I loved nearby. The brisket is amazing. I wish they sold their cornbread to go. Its the best Ive ever had.
