Minuteman Smokehouse And Grill

I have stopped several times over the years because of its super favorable location when you wander in the area of Basking Ridge or Jockey Hollow, this is not far away at all and is just a minute or two of 287. I came by to pick up a few minutes on the street this Sunday afternoon after a dark, muddy hike in Lord Stirling Park. Your weekend hours are as comfortable as the location they open at noon, when is the last time you have a 10AM BBQ Hankering? and close to 8PM, perfect for a post hike meal. This place is casual enough where I would definitely have just got with this kind of food, your waiting time is quite low, but decided to pick up. The girl on the front was very nice and helpful, led me to the online menu nearby and processed my order immediately after receipt. I'd say the food came very fast in about seven or eight minutes. I ordered the pulled pork $13, a pinch of Mac and cheese I think $8 or $9 and a piece of cornbread at $1.50 . The pulled pig was excellent, it is tender, juicy and skurril. In my experience with pulled pork, you often have a few bites of charred edges that look like your life expectancy down a few months when you take it, but all BBQ was smart as it should be with this genre of food. It is one part of the menu that they must be able to meet from the park, and they do. The Mac and the cheese were really good, he reminded me of Ikea Mac and cheese, which is definitely not insult, although I would not say great. It was a LITTLE dry, and I wasn't crazy that you didn't have it as a cheaper, smaller side option. I definitely remember being here before COVID and having it as a side for a few extra dollars. So I jumped for it, but I don't know I'd do it again. The grain bread was ok, and that in and by itself was a little disappointing. I remember coming here for lunch in the past and being blown away from the sweet moisture of corn bread, but that was on the dry side and a little tasteless what I feel is always knocking on maize bread. I'm willing to confirm that some of the tastes/moistness have been lost in transport, so I'd give it back when I dive. The price point may seem a little high on his face, but I think it should be an expectation with BBQ that you will pay a little more for the prep work. This is a strong option in an area that does not have much if any BBQ facilities, and you can not go wrong with decor with a Sir Mixalot homage see attached.

We had a 6:30 reservation and they already ran out of the filet mignon that one of our party had been anticipating. We asked for some Carolina barbecue sauce for our pulled pork and got served a very watery, vinegary sauce. It was very noisy (and we were in a quieter area). Our server was overworked and undoubtedly overwhelmed- we had to ask for water for the table three times before we received it. Homemade chips are excellent, especially the guacamole and chip appetizer. Meals were good although brown meat and tan chips and tan cornbread served on brown paper are not the most appetizing. Could add a pickle? Or white paper instead? Or red and white checked? A satisfactory meal and probably the best bbq in this particular area, but could be improved.

We ordered a single small part of the brisket and the only small part of the ribs and a Seltzer and an icy tea and a sequence of the frits. I must say the food was really good and the atmosphere was funny and casual. The service was also good. But expensive is an understatement! The bill was $80.

THIS PLACE IS BYO. You need beer with bbq. Food was very good. The room is that of old time family restaurant and was pretty empty at 7:30 on a Saturday night.

Good meal and friendly service. Brisket is always good but sometimes they run out. Value is good. Will recommend and return.
