TST BBQ

"I seen all the 4 and 5 star reviews and figured this BBQ might be okay, but unfortunately my experience wasn't as good. Place is nice and service is good, but the food wasn't the BBQ I was expecting. I will say the pork roll nuggets were excellent and seasoned well, but the brisket and pulled pork were very dry. Our server tried to bring us some that he thought would be better, unfortunately the brisket was the same and the pulled pork just had cooking juice poured on it, but it was still the same dry meat. He did give us a discount on the meats, but I thought in reality it should have been taken off completely since he had seen we didn't eat any of it. The Brussels sprouts and collard greens were good, just not great. This restaurant has potential, but the BBQ has to get way better. As you can see from the bill, I paid quite a bit for food that I only ate half of."

"We are staying at the Holiday Inn and decided to eat here because of the convenience and the menu looked good. We were not disappointed! Our server Amanda was amazing. Literally the best. So sweet and helpful. The hostess and bartender were equally awesome. We were thinking of finding other restaurants to go to during our 3 days in Hazlet but the food here was so good and we only tried half the things we wanted to, we will definitely be back. And they have trivia and bingo! Food and service are 10/10!! Second night here and we came back again! The bingo and dad jokes were hilarious. Our son got to pick out the style of bingo of his choice one round and even got to tell his own jokes. The vibe of the crowd was awesome and everyone cheered for him. Some of the locals/regulars let him get their prize even tho he already won. Just an overall awesome atmosphere. I learned the names of the bartender, Gabriella, and the hostess/bingo caller and my sons personal favorite ms Terry Anne. We will come back to NJ and specifically this restaurant again."

"Every time we come to this place, it looks more and more neglected. This place is poorly maintained and clearly this been a long time. Broken things everywhere, still water because pumps are broken, green ripped everywhere, weeds growing everywhere. It’s sad because it used to be a nice mini golf course. I guess it’s only the mini golf course at Monmouth Park for us now. Such a shame."

"Let me start by saying I would have given them three and a half stars. We'll start with the onion rings. They were good but I think the oil was too hot so when they dropped them in the breading was a little bit overdone and had a slightly burnt flavor and the brisket was to dry for my liking. Now let's get to the good stuff. The ribs and the pulled pork I enjoyed. They were not overcooked was not dry and they had really good flavor. And last but not least, the cornbread that was probably my favorite part. It was airy and almost cake-like which was really good. The next time I'm in that area I might stop back again to try something different?"

"Popped in for lunch and it was a great experience! Would definitely check out if looking for a bite after a movie. The cherry moonshine sauce was delicious, chicken and waffle sandwich was also a homerun and definitely had to get some fried pickles!"
