Soooo, we went to Embark tonight for the second time. Full disclosure, the first time Wifey and I…read morecame here was when they first opened, we came kind of late and we didn't have the best experience, but I PROMISED myself I'd come back before reviewing because I honestly believed I just hit them on a bad night. Had a good friend recently tell me I needed to come back, so we did. Tonight we ordered a half rack of ribs, a pulled pork sandwich, and the pulled pork Mac-n-cheese. In a word, the food was fantastic. I've had BBQ in a LOT of places and also have my own smoker that I've gotten pretty good at using it so I know good BBQ...and this is good BBQ. The ribs were delicious - cooked perfectly the way the want them in competition...not fall off the bone, but with a little bite, and the flavor was great. Amazing bark on the outside with tender meat on the bone. The pulled pork sandwich was so tender and delicious that I wish I didn't have to share it with Wifey. And their homemade BBQ sauce is absolutely great...a little spice on the back of the tongue, but still sweet without being overly sweet (they have four kinds, but I only wanted the traditional). The pulled pork Mac-n-cheese was very rich but full of flavor with a nice breadcrumb topping as well. Each platter also came with cole slaw, something often overlooked by BBQ places, but not here. Very tasty, very fresh, though I think it needed a pinch of salt. I do wish we had gotten some cornbread, but honestly, we walked away very full. The service here is super friendly and our food came pretty quickly...and I really love the layout and vibe here. I spoke to the owner about how much I loved the food tonight and how it was such a difference from my first experience. I'm so glad we came back. The people behind the counter all seem to LIKE what they're doing...and that means a lot. Real BBQ places are always pricey, because you aren't paying for just the food, your paying for the hours and hours and hours of cooking it takes to get the food to taste as good as it does and to be tender. You can't take shortcuts with BBQ. So yeah, Embark isn't cheap, but if there's one thing I've discovered over the years it's that you DON'T want cheap BBQ. Embark is a BYOB place so bring your favorite beer, order some great food, and sit with friends savoring the deliciousness. I will NOT wait this long to come back again.

A friend recommended Embark a few days before I visited. When I arrived, I wasn't super hungry…read moresince I had just come from a Yelp Elite event up the road at Catfight Coffee. There is a decent amount of seating, although there were more takeout orders at the time I visited. It's very clean inside and decorated nicely. I ordered the 2-meat sampler with brisket and pulled pork. The brisket was awesome, super tender and packed with flavor. The BBQ sauce really complemented the meats. The pulled pork was also very good, but the brisket was definitely the star. The mac and cheese was just okay. The breadcrumbs on top made the mac and cheese a bit soggy. Portions were a bit small for the price. Overall, I thought my meal was good but I would definitely come back just for that brisket.

We got their white pizza with broccoli and then we got a spicy pepper with bacon pizza. The pizzas were OK, I've had better, and were unfortunately a bit greasy for my liking. The crust was very floppy so that also wasn't great. I think the price is reasonable and pretty similar to other places around the area, but I would personally go to a different pizzeria in the area as opposed to this one .

I've visited the original Don Chicken in Palisades Park multiple times and was excited when I saw…read moreone open up in Morris County. The place is small with a few tables inside, and I visited on a weekday when it wasn't very busy. I ordered my usual, the Soy Garlic chicken and Sweet and Spicy chicken. It was delicious and both dishes were full of flavor. It didn't come with radish, so I had to go up to the counter to ask for some. I did wish they gave me gloves like the other locations so that it wouldn't be as messy when I was eating the food. Overall, I thought the taste was pretty similar to the one in Palisades Park. It seems like their menu slightly differs from the original so I'd like to try some of their other items the next time I visit.

I've never had fries that were so over seasoned I could only eat like 5 before i had to give up on them. As for the sweet and spicy sandwich the chicken was extremely average and the sauce was very sweet and had no spicy taste. The service was quick I was shocked with how fast the food came out for a place that makes fried chicken because it was less than 10 minutes so idk if this was already cooked and then left out and put in sauce but it didn't taste hot and fresh once I got home. The restaurant was tiny but did offer some seating and was not busy when I went around 6.

The staff was super friendly and hustling the whole time we were there. It seems like they shut off online ordering when things get too busy, which tells me they're doing plenty of business. First off, the sausage was absolutely delicious. Everything you'd want from a good Italian sausage. Salty, savory, and loaded with fennel flavor. I bet they make an awesome sausage and peppers sandwich. Don't let the picture fool you. This was one of the cheesiest pizzas I've had in a long time, and the sauce stood up to all of it. The crust had a great char and plenty of flavor. Overall, a really good pizza and a place I'll definitely be back to. Probably sooner rather than later.
