The owners of the establishment reached out to me And let me know that they were very disappointed to hear that I was unhappy with the food. Without asking for anything back and without any hesitation the owner took it upon himself to refund me for the food I picked up for my family. Everybody in every business has bad or off days, myself included. What differentiates great businesses from mediocre ones is how they handle problems. Although I can't base this second review off of the food, I am going to give a 5 stars review because of the level of customer service and care. I greatly appreciate the gesture, and will give it a second shot. read more

We've ordered from this place two times during the pandemic. Both were phenomenal. The pulled pork was amazing each time. :)

For the first time since moving north I can say this is really good BBQ without the qualifying 'for New Jersey.' We had the 1 meat special platter today - 1 with brisket and 1 with burnt ends. The platter came with 2 sides plus cornbread and (today anyway) a drink. Both the brisket and the burnt ends were smokey, moist and plentiful in the serving, with a good balance of lean-to-fat for flavor. There's a wide range of sauce choices from around the BBQ world, and you may add them freely to your meat. We liked the house Big Pink the best. Sides we tried were the coleslaw (both of us had this and both decided it was not to our taste - it's of the mustardy-vinegary type rather than the creamy sweet), the cheesy taters, and the baked beans. I had expected tater tots for the 'taters' but I was pleased to find it was roasted cubes of potatoes with melted cheese and spices - very tasty while it was hot. The beans were a real winner, mixed with that wonderful brisket and great sauce. As with the meat, the sides were large servings, and the cornbread (moist and not overly sweet) was also a generous chunk. Both meals came to $21, and we had leftovers when we finished. We're told that picnic tables will be arriving soon (hope they will also have umbrellas cause that parking lot is wide open to the sun!) In the meantime, plan on eating in the car or back of the pickup, bring your own chairs, or just take it home. read more

We discovered Big Pink's BBQ one Saturday while visiting with our nephew who works at Pep Boys in Bridgewater. I googled BBQ near and this placed came up in my search. All the reviews were really good so I placed an order. We drove very fast up 287 North back to Parsippany because the smell in the car drove us nuts! We ordered the 3 meat platter with I think it was 3 sides and some cornbread. Holy crap the BBQ was spot on delicious! So much flavor my husband was moaning while eating the ribs! So far we have eaten take out from Big Pink's twice and each time was just as good as the first. It's always wonderful when you stumble upon a gem! I would have added pictures but being hangry won out each time! read more

Super bbq pulled pork , brisket, Mac n cheese. Ordered for a lunch meeting at the office, arrived early. Very very good sauce and tender meat, love the mini onion rings on the pulled pork and buns were great too. Will definitely order again! read more

We went there Today to check it out. Since I have moved from Kentucky and been around to Tennessee & Kansas, I have been really searching for a good barbecue place. So far nothing has impressed me - and I will say same for this place. We had their platter today With two meats. ordered for pulled pork & pork ribs.. It came with side of corn bread. We ordered two sides-- Mac & Cheese & cole slaw... I have to say that this is the best I had so far in New Jersey but still misses the mark.. They actually deserve 3.5 star but I rounded to 4 bc it's the best I had in NJ after trying 5 other places.. They have two picnic tables in back.. Had 7-8 sauces and I tried 3 and they were ok.. I will go back to try again one more time but my search continues!!! read more

Big Pink's BBQ - Platter-- color is pinkish bc of Pink umbrella on picnic table! - Caterers Near Me - Bridgewater, New Jersey

A cute food truck with delicious BBQ that will transport you from suburban Bridgewater to South Carolina. We got the Big Texan ($9), half rack of ribs ($12), and burnt ends ($4). Surprisingly, by the time we came at 1:30 pm on a Tuesday, pulled pork was already sold out. The burnt ends were mindblowingly good, well-seasoned, and melt-in-your-mouth. Though I tried all the sauces and can conclude the Asian Spice sauce was the best, there was no need for sauces at all because the meat was so flavorful. How such amazing and smokey meat could come from a food truck is beyond me. The Big Texan was basically burnt ends and brisket on an onion roll, but the onion roll diminished the flavors of the burnt ends and was pretty dry, so I'd recommend saving $5 and just ordering the burnt ends. The owner (who was also the chef and cashier) was so friendly, explained each menu item to us, told us his life story, and even gave us free cornbread while we were eating in the car. 10/10 would recommend. read more

I was very pleasantly surprised with the quality of food here. When looking at the joint on yelp you just see a truck and it's like that's it? Well I can tell you the food here is excellent. I highly recommend the pulled pork here. I got the 2 meat platter with brisket and pulled pork but I would say the pulled pork was the best part. The service was quick and the meat was smoked perfectly. The sides were also very good, especially the coleslaw. To be honest if you drove by you might have just seen a truck and passed by but it was Yelp that got me to check it out. I encourage you to try it out, as it's a little hidden gem. read more

We used Big Pinks BBQ catering for 15 people and it was absolutely fantastic. They are very friendly to deal with. I highly recommend"THE BIG PIG" package came with pulled pork, pulled chicken, brisket and ribs with 4 different sauces plus coleslaw, baked beans, Mac and cheese, cheesy potatoes (best I've ever had) and corn bread (also best I've ever had). Everyone had a blast, what a great change for a party vs the usual pizza, subs or catered Italian. We will definitely be ordering again! Thanks read more

Amazing bbq place, I was so hyped to find this place on a food truck event on Facebook. Both styles of ribs are fantastic, the Mac and cheese is immaculate and the cornbread was amazing. Try a little of everything when you go. Like the sides, sauces. All the sides are great but the Mac & cheese and cornbread are worth the stop alone. Also the cheesy potato's.. just stop here, it's worth it. read more

They make the best beans and burnt ends I have ever tasted in my life. The brisket and the ribs are to die for. read more

Food BLOWS. this clown uses liquid smoke to make his FAKE BBQ. this clown needs to go down south and see how BBQ is really made. Now this guy contacts me that they smoke the meat it truck. LMFAO. I never seen any smoke coming out of truck. Anyone know real Smoked BBQ takes 10 to 12 hrs to get that smoke ring. This guys fake BBQ doesn't even have a smoke ring. Guy is a Joke selling fake liquid smoke BBQ Update this clown is trying to tell someone that grow up in the south what a smoke ring is . That where the flavor is . He is a joke selling fake BBQ read more

Amazing food. Best coleslaw I've ever had. The sauces are all incredible, and the burnt ends are my favorite thing on the menu. Everything you eat there is incredible and you will not be disappointed. Highly recommend checking this place out! read more

Got the one meat platter. I ordered the pulled pork as the entree, which was incredibly juicy and flavorful. The house sauce that came with it was excellent. Also ordered cheesy tots on the side and baked beans. Unfortunately they forgot to put the beans in my order but the tots were good - potatoes weren't mushy and the cheese was just the right amount of gooey. The platter also came with a small slice of cornbread, which was moist and great for soaking up leftover sauce. Overall friendly service! Great place to grab a quick workday lunch. read more

Ok, I've had there food before but this was my first time eating there BBQ Ribs. They are fantastic. Meaty, Tender, Saucy. I've eaten there chili, sliders, and cornbread. And now that I've tried the ribs it's on to the brisket. They have never disappointed me. Now on the menu they added Smoked chicken wings. I'll order 5 dozen of those. This little truck is a hit. You wont go wrong. read more

I got a pop up text message about this place new in my area. Today at work, we were deciding what do to for lunch, when I remembered the pop up. I ordered the 1 meat platter of burnt ends with coleslaw and fries as my sides. I'm not a big fry eater but even though my lunch sat ( not their fault, I eat when I can at work) the fries were a bit soggy and ended up being the best fries I have ever had!!! One coworker got the Mexican plate thing and I tried that and it was delicious at well. Others got the brisket sliders and another got the egg roll. All was fantastic! Can't wait to go back. I work in Bridgewater, but I'm not originally from the area and I have a hard time finding foods that meet my standards. This was excellent read more

Big Pinks is exceptional BBQ. They came to our pool club last night and I was totally blown away. The nice thing was I really got to try everything having shared with the family. The brisket, pulled pork and pulled chicken are all top notch. The selection of twelve different bbq sauces were amazing. The Memphis style and Korean were amazing. Some of the best BBQ around and the service was outstanding. They are true pro's. read more

Got the brisket sliders and Mac and cheese. Sliders were good, they had these fried onion pieces on them that were interesting. Brisket itself was very good. Mac and cheese was soso. I will definitely be back for the meats! read more

We were craving barbecue on our way home from a road trip, and found this food truck conveniently located along the way. What a pleasant surprise and rare find! Exactly what we were looking for! Food was amazing! Tasty, fresh and satisfying. read more

Had a big get together planned for Sept. 3, decided to try Big Pink's due to the large number of positive reviews, and curiosity to try as they are located so close. Over 20 guests invited. Big Pink showed up EARLY to drop off order which included: 2 pans of Pulled Pork along with 2 different types of Signature sauces, 2 pans of their Mac & Cheese, 2 pans of Cheesy Potatoes, a pan of Burnt Ends (about 4 lbs.) a pan of cornbread, a LARGE pan of ribs (which had both Baby Back & St. Louis style, which has more meat), bags of rolls, a LARGE package of plastic flatware, paper plates & napkins. Let me just say, that along with their professional service, the food was AMAZING! Our guests were raving! Me and my mom included! Even days later, leftovers STILL amazing! The Mac & Cheese is NOT the usual, extremely delicious & cheesy. VERY CRAVABLE! Cheesy potatoes were fantastic! More of a creamy, cheese flavored sauce than actual cheese, but still AWESOME! Pulled Pork along with the burnt ends & ribs are AWESOME as well! WILL DEFINITELY order again & HIGHLY recommend! read more

So, I've been to Texas. I had Black's BBQ....this place beats Black's BBQ! Everything I've had so far is incredibly good. I went twice in a week. I love everything. The burnt ends and empanadas were my favorite so far. They were delicious. So glad I found this place! It's the best American BBQ around!!! read more

Great place to eat! The best taco that i ever had! Drive slow, otherwise you might miss it. It in a food truck with a pig on it.

Beware of food coma...... Had Marty Cater our daughters graduation party and my recommendation would be is to have your guests sign a waiver. With and endless supply of Brisket, Burnt Ends, Chicken, Pulled Pork, Brisket and Beans and well as Corn Bread my guests kept going back for more and ultimately turned into zombies wandering around my house. Good news is I still have left overs all to myself :-) read more

OMG, It's worth the trip from ANYWHERE. Marty's ribs are delicious beyond belief, ditto for the brisket tips and I dare anyone to claim there's better Cole slaw on the planet. Worth standing in line! read more

You can not go wrong with anything on the menu. My only complaint is that I always end up eating too much food because the food tastes so good. My favorites are the ribs, burnt ends, and coleslaw. read more

I was really excited to try this place and ordered "the big pink". Well.......it was missing 1. Pickles 2. Cole slaw and 3. Most importantly BBQ SAUCE!!! Great job losing future business for both myself and others that were curious about your place!!! read more

Love Pinks BBQ truck. Happened to stop by when coming out of Dr office next door. Very glad I did. My husband and I are BBQ fans and attend the Big Apple BBQ every year and Pinks is up there with he best at the fest. Very glad it's nearby. Favorites are the burnt ends and beans. read more

Best BBQ in New Jersey BY FAR! I was born and raised in Texas so I know bbq! I moved to New Jersey two years ago and have been on a mission ever since to find good barbecue. Well guess what?! I found it! Big Pinks is the spot! Super delicious, nice staff and great BBQ. Highly recommend!!! The brisket and baby back ribs are to die for! read more

Good BBQ for a food truck they really care about providing quality BBQ pulled pork, ribs, Mac and cheese, cheesey potatoes, corn bread and deep fried Mac and cheese are really good will definitely be going back to try other items they have to offer just a little upset I didn't take any pictures of the good food!!! read more

We just had my son's 1st birthday party on 7/6 and used Big Pinks for the food. Not only was the BBQ amazing but Marty was such a pleasure to work with! He knows so much about BBQ and it really shows in his food. My favorites were the Mac and cheese and brisket! He was so accommodating while working with us. On the day of the party he set everything up, came with the truck and was completely self-sufficient and even set the extras out before he left. I would highly recommend Big Pinks for any party! Amazing service and even better food! read more

This is not the area where you expect to have high quality food trucks but thankfully Big Pink's is here to shake that up. A pretty extensive menu for a truck, with a lot of options for sides as well. The burnt ends are as good as I've ever had, and every sauce I tried (which was most of them) were fantastic. I work less than 10 minutes away and this will become a staple on my lunch hour. A few tables with umbrellas behind the truck to sit and eat, friendly staff, and some damn good meat. read more

We used Big Pink's to cater my stepson's "I Do Bbq" engagement party. Marty was great to deal with and the food was off the charts!!! The pulled pork was terrific and the ribs fell off the bone ! The pulled chicken was actually my favorite item - so moist and delicious I can't even describe it. And the "cheesy taters"....wow, just wow. If you want to make your next party cool and trendy, give Marty a call. You won't regret it. read more

Awesome, awesome!! By far the best BBQ - run, don't wait. The food is fantastic all around. Can't wait to go back, great find!

I've traveled all over the country including the BBQ capital(Kansas City) and let me tell you, Big Pink's BBQ has surpassed my expectations. I have to admit it is in fact better than the BBQ I've had in Kansas. The staff is so friendly(especially Nazareth). They make the whole experience complete. It's defiantly a hidden gem. Try the smoked grilled cheese with pork!! Amazing !!! read more

Stopped by for lunch today. Pulled pork, burnt ends and chili were delicious! Next time will try the RIBS!

Having lived in this area for many years and having tried most of the BBQ joints around I was surprised to recently discover that Big Pink's simply blows them all away. Try the St. Louis style ribs in their terrific sauce, I guarantee you'll be delighted! Get there early though as once they run out of food then that's it for the day. Highly recommended! read more

This is 100% the best BBQ spot in Central NJ! The burnt ends are to die for and the ribs are absolutely delicious. I went for lunch and had a half rack with a side of taters and Mac n cheese. Portion sizes are awesome for the price. Big Pinks BBQ does not disappoint! read more
