“ Outstanding BBQ. The brisket was tender, juicy, and flavorful. So were the ribs. And neither one of them came with barbecue sauce already on them. They were just naturally juicy and delicious. The prices were extremely reasonable; about half the price of what I would pay for the same thing in upstate New York that wouldn't even be anywhere near as delicious. The staff were very nice and friendly also. Definitely recommend here ”
“ A bar with great food. Not very crowed on weekend. See lots of folks doing take out. The bar decent bottles - with some special selections. Prices are very reasonable. The food was great. You cannot go wrong here . ”
“ Best Barbeque in Trenton or anywhere else for that matter! Enjoy the half chicken and wings tasty and tender ”
“ Food was delicious a bit of a travel, but it was worth it a bit pricey, but what isn't these days? I sure had enough for two meals for two days. Service was good small place but it was cute. ”
“ I was very impressed by this visit. I ordered the 1/2 rack of ribs w that came with 2 sides. I asked for baked beans and Mac and cheese. Delicious. I was very satisfied. I don't eat bbq sauce and I must say these ribs were so flavorful without it. The meal also came with a piece of cornbread on the side. I can tell you, I'm not an 100% cornbread fan. I will admit, this one was amazing. Soft, sweet, and cakey. I enjoyed. Someone went and picked up the order for me so I can't comment on what the place looked like. I also don't know first hand how the service was but I don't think this person has any issues. I will be back to check it out. I see the scenery and to eat all food. Oh wait !!! Can't forget. I also ordered the cheese steak eggrolls that I didn't take a pic of. Delicious a bit small but so good. Thanks again. ”
“ This restaurant was by far the best experience I had in my week of staying in New Jersey. Not only was the food exceptional, but so was the service. Every item we ordered was delicious. The brisket was a little fatty, but still extremely flavorful. The ribs had the perfect crust on them and the wings were big with a generous seasoning of garlic parm on them. My guest really enjoyed her sandwich and the candied yams. She also ordered mad and cheese which was very tasty! We were given 3 different bottles of their BBQ sauce and they were all very good, my favorite was the Kansas City. The service was so great. Our waitress was very nice and kept checking on us. Additionally, someone who I think was the owner came over and greeted us, as well as clearing away some of our plates on his way out. Even upon walking in, many customers who looked like regulars greeted us, and one held the door for us on the way out. As we were about to leave, our waitress told us that every night the entire bar takes a shot at 1911, and poured us both a shot of complimentary Bacardi. Everyone in the restaurant cheersed and drank the shot, it was so nice! Prices were also very reasonable for the quality and amount of food. Such a great experience here, would love to come back. ”
