Me and my boyfriend drove by and decided to grab some platters for my family for fathers day. We were greeted as soon as we got out of the car with smiles and happy holidays! I’ve never had such great customer service in my life they couldn’t have made our day any better! They made us feel so comfortable even tho i have never been to a place like this i felt like i was at home talking to family! They hooked our platter up to the max capacity gave us extra sides and free teas and lemonades! He also gave us a sample of the brisket to try right out of the smoker which was an experience i will never forget and enjoyed immensely! While Me and my boyfriend waited for them to put our platters together which only took a few minutes we spoke to the owners wife who was so sweet and friendly and talked about the plans for the place in the future and I couldn’t be more excited to see this place expand to its full ability! You have to stop by and try the amazing brisket and sides everything was amazing I brought it home to my family and they were ecstatic about the presentation! The juicinesses and flavor that this brisket had was unbeatable and cooked to perfection to say the least! I wish i lived over here and wasn’t just visiting my parents bc i would be here every day! I’m originally from texas so i can really appreciate some good bbq out in new jersey and drakes joint absolutely killed it!! I cant wait to get back here and try the chicken! Thank you guys so much for giving us such an amazing experience on fathers day that we will never forget!

Not sure what warrants 1 star from previous reviews?! Because they were closed? How about you come back another time and give them a chance! My husband and I noticed this place months ago but they were closed. They were still doing their build out and it was off season. It’s a “roadside bbq”. Anyway, we stopped there tonight and I’m glad we did! It was towards closing time but they still gave us a platter with very generous portion sizes. The brisket was delicious, seasoned and cooked perfectly. People need to give them a try and show some support. The staff is super friendly and that’s what this world needs right now! We can’t wait to go back. They’re only open on the weekends so don’t give a 1 star if you stop here on a Tuesday and they’re closed lol.

Spending almost 200 dollars of six plates of food is on par with this inflation. That being said the good was definitely lacking in our opinion. we all got brisket (because that’s all they had) and sixty percent of our portions were all fat. moving on to the sides; there is no way they put cheese in the max and cheese, literally just cooked noodles in a cup we had never seen anything like it we were all laughing about it though. they were open that one weekend and haven’t open since so who knows; just don’t have a huge sign saying open fri-sun if you aren’t going to be open? just a thought. we would give it another try and definitely order something different if it is available to order.

Staff were friendly, and just opening the business. I hope they see these as notes for the future and that when I visit again things are better organized. The location is great and I see potential. We spent nearly $100 on our order and were very excited.

I drove by last Saturday night November 5th, saw lights and smoke so thought I would stop in. I had no idea this place was reopening or what was going on but this was quite a pleasant introduction. I met the owner Dan, his wife and a number of the staff. They were all super friendly, outgoing and very passionate about this endeavor! I walked away with a gang of food. The brisket was my favorite. I’m from Texas and we take brisket very seriously and I would put theirs up against some of the best in the Lone Star state. The coffee cake and cookies were also spectacular. I never thought I would get such a good piece of coffee cake at a barbecue and future ice cream spot but I was pleasantly surprised. The people here love what they do and you can taste it in every bite. I wish them the best of luck go out and support them! Enjoy!

My wife and I were excited to try this place as we love new local restaurants and I love bbq. I have a hard time thinking of another place that let me down as much as Drakes Joint did.

Showed up here to try it out and was told that they are closing. They advised they were too cold so they decided to call it quits 45 minutes early. It’s only November, so not sure how they will make it through the winter. Unclear about this business model here and hours. Good luck- you lost me as a customer .
