Really enjoyed lunch here. The sides and the iced tea were the standouts. Mac and cheese and slaw both excellent. The tea was definitely sweet but not overly imo and had a great flavor. Delicious on a hot day and very friendly, welcoming service. Picnic table seating with umbrellas. Check it out!

Pulled pork was very delicious, juicy,tender, can taste the flavor of the smoke of the wood. Which is excellent bar b Q was really tasty also. Mac & cheese was excellent. Corn and corn bread was alright. The brisket was amazing full of flavor. I will definitely be going back for the meat.

I’ve met Kevin a couple times at The Real Deal BBQ, he’s the best and always nice to everyone. On top of that, the southern bbq food there is delectable. The fresh cuts consisting of ribs, brisket, jerk chicken, etc. including the barbecue sauce is delicious. The homemade mac and cheese is one of the sides on the menu and the best Mac and cheese I’ve ever had.

I’ve been coming to the Real Deal bbq for a long time since i do a lot road work in that area. The food is really good. And it is hard to find really good BBQ in NJ. Outside of Newark

The pulled Brisket meat sandwich was mediocre at best, the BBQ sauce was bland and contributed zero to the meal. My wife’s chicken thigh sandwich shared the same weak BBQ sauce, and to her surprise was served undercooked with bones! On a sandwich bun! Unexpected and unprepared is not what we wanted for lunch.

Top knotch bbq with great prices and friendly service. Been coming here for years and I find myself going almost every week they are open during the summer. Everything is great, only thing they are missing is desert.

Smoked BBQ with sides…outdoor with picnic tables. Smelled amazing and tastes even better! Had the brisket with beans and sweet corn. So good and went back for seconds to bring home to the kids! Prices are reasonable and portions are large! Must stop if in the area!

I spend no less than 60$ every time. I was in Houston and had BBQ there and this was as identical to places in Texas and if not better than some. Great food. Great people!

I’ve gotten incredible brisket, mac and cheese, cole slaw, and good pulled pork. But I got ribs that were barely edible, very tough and burnt.
