THE BEANS SLAP OH MY GOD THEY ARE SO GOOD! Like What?? I think this is the best bbq I have ever had. If you like a sweet and smokey rib, this place is for you. The slaw is tangy and crunchy. Holy crap 10/10!!!! So happy I pulled around to try it. read more

The barbecue ribs were absolutely delicious. The meat literally fell off the bones unfortunately, our side dishes were not what we ordered, and we did not enjoy them at all. read more

I drive past this place all the time but we decided to give it a shot when my boyfriend's coworkers talked about how much they like this place. Very delicious BBQ! The ribs are soooooo tender and well-seasoned! The pulled pork with their BBQ sauce is also decent too. The fries could be more crispier but my boyfriend loves it! If you pay by cash, you'll get 2% off. Nice service. There's a backyard place for you to have a seat and enjoy your meal. read more

I've driven by the Bearded One a countless number of times. We finally decided to stop and pick up a to go order. We ordered a platter, which consisted of Pulled Chicken, Pulled Pork, Baked Beans and Mac & Cheese. Everything was good, except the Mac & Cheese. There was practically no cheese and the pasta was drive. It's literally located on the side of Route 33 and the food is prepared and served out of a truck. There are some outdoor picnic tables, but everyone was taking their food to go. It may be a nice place to sit in warmer weather, but you are on the road side. Our order was prepared in about 15 minutes, with two people ahead of us. read more

Finally tried the BBQ food truck I've been meaning to visit, and it was absolutely worth the wait! The brisket tacos were melt-in-your-mouth perfection, packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The loaded fries were a generous portion, piled high with meat, cheese, and salsa--a deliciously indulgent treat. The quality and care in every bite truly stand out. A bit too saucy for my liking and had I known I would have sat at ate at the seating area behind it. Still Highly recommend for any BBQ lover! read more

Bearded One BBQ - Food Trucks Near Me - Monroe Township, New Jersey

Well worth a stop Had the 3meat sampler with coleslaw and Mac and cheese everything was cooked proper nice smoke ring but no bark on the brisket and thank god I Had salt in my car and there was no cheese in the Mac and cheese as seen on his sight the coleslaw had too much vinegar but that's a me thing . And again I am a BBQ snob and for a BBQ spot in NJ He is well worth the stop. Service is always excellent and it's a great place to sit outside and eat on a sunny day read more

If your into smoked bbq meat this is the spot for you, the service is very quick, the hours are limited so you get lucky if they are open and you find a parking spot. My son had a cheeseburger and all I can say is wow it was like a double patty smash burger didn't need anything extra the flavor was perfection. The wings were good too they offer a bbq sauce on the side which I really enjoyed. TBH I thought the burger was better than the wings. I am not an outdoorsy person but if u don't mind a bench and some flies they have a cute little area for you to eat your lunch. read more

First off.... I went here alone. Probably a mistake because I am that girl who wants to try it all and doesn't mind sharing. Here's what I got: 6 house smoked wings 2 meat combo platter. I chose ribs and brisket for the meats and beans and Mac and cheese for the sides. Total $ 34.31 The smoked wings were very flavorful. A little salty and VERY crunchy. The smokiness didn't overwhelm the flavor of the wings. I would definitely try these again The ribs were so extremely fall off the bone tender. There isn't one negative thing I can say about them. As far as the brisket goes, I got some charred ends which I was hoping for as well and some hefty slices. Again, tender and mouthwatering. The beans... they were a little too soupy for my liking but that did not distract from them being packed full of flavor. There was some heat to them but nothing overwhelming along with, some bacon and meat throughout and some jalapeño. The Mac & cheese... this was probably the most unexpected surprise out of all of the meal. A little smoky, extreme cheese flavor and the Mac was a tiny bit chewy. Honestly??? Better than I could ever make from scratch and possibly the best I've ever had. Perfection at best. Everything here is made on premises from the coleslaw, mac & cheese, and beans to the meats. The staff was helpful in my decisions on what to get. There's also a place outback to sit down and eat, which is really clean and cute. There was no way I made a dent in any of the meal so, no cooking for me for a couple of days and I'm totally not complaining. As Arnold would say, "I'll be back!" read more

We had a pint of brisket, a pint of mac and cheese, a full rack of ribs and an order of the brisket loaded fries. The brisket was good. In truth, I can't say much more - if you're there, order it. I'm not a huge brisket person. It was, for me, a solid 7 brisket. I think, for me, one of the things I didn't like was how it's served - instead of being laid out, it's served in a pint container. it was probably the heaviest pint I've ever felt - you definitely get good value for money. But crammed into the pint container didn't do a lot for me. DEFINITELY freshly cooked, hot, juicy, moist. But...brisket. The fries were very good. Freshly fried. Hot - really hot. Excellently seasoned. you will not be disappointed. 7.75 on the fries. Things went up dramatically from there. The Mac and cheese is simply outstanding. Not overcooked and mushy, not overly sauced and soupy. Th spot is an hour from my house and I might drive there just for the Mac and cheese. 9.0 on the Mac. But the absolute star of the show is without question the ribs. People who have cooked ribs commercially know it's a pain - they're hard to hold, and will dry out fast. Really easy to over cook. These ribs are, simply put, the best commercial ribs I've ever had. Theyre MASSIVE - Ridiculously good value for money - juicy, tender, hot, great flavor. I would have WALKED to their spot just for a lottery ticket to have a chance at a rack of these ribs. easy, easy 10. overall, I'd call it an 8.5. easily worth a visit. read more

For a few steps above a food truck type place, the prices were very expensive. The prices were more like a middle of the road sit down resturant. The taste of the 2 items that I bought were just ok but on the fatty side. Also later on I was extremely thirsty which tells me the sodium levels were also high. I'm sure they have their regular customers and I hope they stay in business since we need small businesses, but perhaps take what I said with constructed criticism . read more

I haven't posted a review for Bearded One BBQ before, but after seeing a couple of unfair comments, I felt compelled to speak up and support a true local standout. I've used Bearded BBQ several times for house parties, and the experience has been consistently excellent. Chris always shows up on time with trays of hot, fresh food, and the portions are generous--plenty for a full crowd and leftovers, too. The wings are a standout, but everything--from the brisket, Pulled pork, Mac and Cheese...really everything.---is flavorful and well-prepared. Guests always comment on how good the food is. Chris is super responsive, easy to work with, and just a good guy running a great local business. Around here, we support our local friends--and Bearded BBQ makes it easy to do that with big flavor, zero fuss, and seriously happy guests. read more

Great pork rips smoked perfectly- meaty with terrific flavor. Baked beans and Mac cheese were also great compliments for takeout dinner. read more

We got BBQ from Bearded One BBQ on route 33 in Monroe tonight. We recently heard they won a national competition for BBQ chicken wings. We got the Carolina apple smoked wings. OMG, they were amazing! 8 wings for $12.50 may seem costly. But they were totally worth it. I got the 1 meat platter (pulled pork), cole slaw, and baked beans. My wife got the pulled pork sandwich. It was huge, she couldn't finish it. Baked beans are a bit spicy but not overly spicy. With a 10% tip, it was $59.95. The only downside I if you're eating in the back, outdoor seating area. Since it's on route 33, you can expect some road noise. read more

Came here today on the way back from Marlboro. I ordered a double meat platter with 2 sides. Very affordable and worth it for the price. The workers were extremely kind. There is an outdoor seating area on the side of the BBQ shack that looked really nice. If you're in the area and want to try a new spot definitely don't miss this place. I ordered the Pulled Pork, Pulled Chicken with 2 sides of Mac and cheese and coleslaw. read more

Bearded One BBQ - Mac & Cheese, Coleslaw, Pulled Chicken and Pulled pork. - Food Trucks Near Me - Monroe Township, New Jersey

Stopped in because of curiosity, as I always drive by here. It's a quaint little road stop and it looks like it could be a great smoke and barbecue location so as a barbecue connoisseur myself, I ordered brisket and mac & cheese. The brisket came with barbecue sauce on the side. The brisket was in a separate container and was oily and had barely any smoke flavor. The barbecue sauce had good flavor, but was a tad too sweet. Onto the mac & cheese, to call what I was given mac & cheese is an insult to both macaroni, and cheese as the macaroni was dry and the cheese was nonexistent. The price for this memorably bad meal was $21. Lesson learned check reviews before stopping at a place that I drive by all the time do yourself a favor. There's a reason why you pass this place often and don't stop ever. read more

Food was delicious It would be nice if it was an indoor restaurant as the prices are the same as eating indoors But worth a try

An unassuming roadside bbq spot that absolutely hits the mark. Great food and friendly staff, 10/10 in my book

I don't have any pictures as I ordered lunch for my workers, but I have to say that this place has the best BBQ around in the Central/South Jersey area. The items that were gotten were brisket tacos, brisket sandwich, brisket platter, pulled chicken tacos, pulled pork quesadillas, sriracha muss Ming's and apple wings. The food was AMAZING. brisket was smoked to perfection, soft, juicy and the fat melted in your mouth. Did not have one complaint. Well worth the money you are going to pay for the food and the service and the atmosphere of the place is great too if you were to stay and eat. Will be a repeat customer for many more times in the future! read more

I have recently moved to NJ and have been looking for a BBQ place. Missions BBQ falls severely short of my expectations. I have been driving by for a few months and thought I would stop today to sample the food. I ordered the two meat platter. The wood smell is great and alluring but the flavor is bland. From the taste it would seem that the ribs are boiled. The ribs were not very well seasoned and had no smoke flavor. The mac-n-cheese was just as bad as was the slaw. I am of the opinion that NJ is not a BBQ state like what I find in Memphis, TN, Houston, TX, or Charlotte, NC. Very unlikely I will patronize this establishment again. read more

Unbelievable pulled pork. So good. Coleslaw was fresh and sauces were on point. Wings were tasty. Great setup for having barbecue. Will be back soon. read more

Little place on the side of the road. I've had brisket at more than a few places in Texas and California and this is well in the upper half of those. The Fried Chicken Wings were unique. The meat had a good amount of smoke but the skin was crispy and crunchy which made the wings a whole new experience. The beans were good with a little bacon and the Mac-n-cheese was very good and different because the cheese was stringy, like maybe Parmesan would do. The barbecue sauce was really tasty and well spiced with a good amount of heat. In fact, I think we'll stop by for a couple of bottles to take home. Try it, you'll like it! read more

I had their BBQ on a number of occasions. For local BBQ it is good. ( However if you have had brisket in Texas it could be better. Portions are nice sized, priced right. Their ribs are too soft for my taste. I like dry rub ribs without sauce, but this is not Memphis so they are good for local style. The owner tries to put out a good product, and the does a good job. In essence I will keep eating there. No dining room has some outdoor tables, but it gets a bit cold for outdoor eating. Fortunately I live close by so I can eat it at home read more

Really good. However I ordered and paid for 18 wings but only received 12. All meats with great depth of flavor; acid, spice, and smoke in every bite. Decently priced. I would recommend! read more

There were at least three things on this menu I wanted to try, but this time I settled on the pulled pork grilled cheese. It was excellent! My husband also liked his pulled chicken tacos but found a couple tiny bones in it which threw him off a bit, and would've liked more bbq sauce (but he's also the kind of person that likes it dripping down your arm). They might be a tiny food truck on the side of the road but they even have a pretty cool looking seating area. Unfortunately it was cold and rainy when we went, but... you always need a reason to go back! read more

So let me tell you about what happened.... I was driving, talking to a friend when I saw cars stopped on the other side of the highway. I saw the food truck, and pulled an immediate u-turn. Every once in a while, I attempt to convince myself that maybe I could be vegan and give up meat. The Bearded One BBQ shut that sh*t down immediately. So, here's how it went down. Took a quick glance at the menu, ordered a pulled chicken sandwich, stepped back, and within a minute I heard "pulled chicken sandwich". With my face mask on I attempted to mouth "oh, is that me...." the cashier nodded, and I took my sandwich. Quite concerned that my food was just microwaved.... Within seconds my car was filled with an aroma, for a moment I picked up the container, glanced at what looked like a mess waiting to happened, and returned my sandwich back to the passenger seat. Choosing to be a responsible motorist.... 90 seconds later, I look down and magically the sandwich is back on my lap, and with surgical precision I've devoured this feast within what I counted as 8 bites, and possibly the most delicious meal I have ever eaten. 8 bites, within 2 miles. I risked my life, and the lives of the other motorist on the road. I then risked my life a second time as I licked the sauce off my finger, during a time of covid. DISCLAIMER: at this point I feel it important to share, that I hadn't eaten anything in the last 19 hours, and maybe I was just really hungry. Guess, I'll have to go back and find out if it's this good all the time. Furthermore, I've been attempting to find ways to deceive my family, so I'm able to sneak out for another sandwich.... read more

Bearded One BBQ - a man and a child standing in front of a food truck - Food Trucks Near Me - Monroe Township, New Jersey

With a smoker cranking out hallucinogenic ecstasy on the side of Rt. 33 as a homing beacon for those who appreciate amazing Brisket, the Bearded One BBQ truck is a best-of-breed example of roadside cuisine (a term I do not use lightly) at it's finest. One whiff of the smoker and one bite turned me into a cartoon character being carried away on a ribbon of olfactory bliss. No Looney Tunes here, let your nose lead you to the roadside in Monroe and some extraordinary BBQ. Five stars at a minimum. read more

Stopped in after a golf round. Thought the BBQ was solid, unfortunately it didn't blow me away. I felt like there wasn't enough smoke or seasoning. I got the brisket sandwich with mac and cheese and coleslaw. Brioche bun was a great touch, thought it went really well with the beef. Happy for the folks here that they are growing and the staff was wonderful. read more
