Yeah... Odd. The best BBQ I've had was in Albany, NY. NYC is also good for it.

I'd think they'd rate lower than this, though

As a KC native who lives in Newark this is laughably wrong.

Newark does have unique Portuguese BBQ spots that are worth checking out though.

New Jersey is incredibly densely populated, and counts among its residents many Brazilian immigrants, who have opened innumerable barbecue joints all over the state. These restaurants range from small hole in the wall type establishments to exquisitely fancy and expensive. The Ironbound Neighborhood, in Newark, is the most common landing spot for Brazilian and Portuguese immigrants, and is thusly home to a very high concentration of these establishments.

Maybe BBQ is like Philly Cheese Steak... Everyone makes it better than people in Philly :)

Wichita? I've never had good barbecue in Wichita.

I do miss Dinosaur though. Maybe they're counting old Dinosaur reviews in with the reviews from the Ironbound.

Austin and Lockhart, Texas really need to be on this list.

Elm Street BBQ is in Newark. Personally I think that's the best BBQ place in the Ironbound and definitely not whatever's on Ferry lol

No.
As someone who lives in Cape May County, I came to ask about it. Thus the question mark.

Nice to see you keeping up the Jersey stereotypical “auto-defensive to any implied slight” attitude though.

I don't know. But I think if BBQ as ribs, brisket, pulled pork. They don't usually have all of those except maybe the ribs. Also Portuguese BBQ seems like stuff that's put on a grill rather than slow cooked all day. It's more tough and bland as well.

churrasqueira a plenty, but it isnt like the barbecue at Dinosaur on Broad st, and Brothers (the best) is no longer around, unless they just moved from South Orange Ave.

There is no BBQ in Newark. Everything labeled “BBQ” is just rotisserie chickens lol. NJ does a lot of food well but BBQ is absolutely not one of them

There’s multiple kinds of BBQ. By definition, cooking over an open flame IS considered BBQ. “…cooked out of doors on a rack over an open fire or on a portable grill.” So. 😂

I’ll correct myself. Acknowledging that *Newark does in fact have BBQ ≠ saying other states not known for pizza have good pizza.

ETA: I have absolutely nothing to apologize for, so keep dreaming 😂

Do people only think that American BBQ is the only form of BBQ. Newark has some amazing Latin style bbq

Well, you are literally saying these versions of BBQ are not valid because it doesn't comply with your views of what bbq is... so why not go and teach them what is actually bbq if you are going to gatekeep
