I had not been here in some time. But, it is as good as it has ever been. We had the Baby Backed Ribs and a baked sweet potato and salad. EXCELLENT!!!!!! John A. read more

Large parking lot that was barely filled on a Fri evening should have been my first red flag. Inside is cafeteria style seating and a counter to order. Staff is friendly and gave me free tap water. I ordered the bbq chicken platter with mashed potatoes and gravy. The mashed potatoes and gravy were good, but I wouldn't come here just for that. Garlic bread was hard and didn't taste like garlic. Chicken was cooked well, but the sauce was VERY sweet with zero hints of smokiness. What a disappointment. I tried my dining partner's pulled pork, and it was the same sickly sweet sauce. The Mac and cheese was 10000% Kraft Mac and cheese. Also the menu had no brisket, which you could find at even an average bbq place. Although it's difficult to find decent bbq in this area, I would not recommend Cubby's. read more

Cubby's BBQ 249 S. River St. Hackensack, NJ 07601 Full Rack Baby Rack Ribs The plate is pricey, but you will definitely get your money's worth. The slab of ribs was gigantic. The soft, tender pork falls right off the bone. As a barbecue sauce junkie, I highly recommend requesting an extra cup for that added touch of tangy, savory flavor. A selected sided and garlic bread is also included. An up charge applies for some of the sides. #cubbys #babybackribs #hackensacknj read more

$44 for a half rack of ribs a pint of Mac n cheese and a pint of beans is nuts if you ask me. Food was average at best. $26 rib combo. Ribs would be better with less sauce $4 up charge for lame Mac n cheese. It was probably some of the worse I've ever had a bbq place. And $9 for a pint of beans is wild ‍‍‍‍ read more

I have not been here since I was a kid. Not sure why. But I am so glad my family said hey let's eat here. The food is very very good. They make hotdogs deep fried - rippers. Yep. And they make them right. I had a chargrilled burger that was fantastic. Fresh. Juicy. Bun delicious. French fries were crispy and yummy. Free soda refills. Coleslaw on the side was very good. So happy I rediscovered Cubbies. read more

A full rack actually means a full rack here. You know it is going to be good the moment you do a small little tug and the bones comes out clean. Only problem i had was the garlic bread not really flavorful. Since its not the star, im not deducting a star for that. I know people have different preferences for bbq, so this is the wet type. read more

I moved out of NJ 13 years ago. I make it back once a year for a short visit with family. When I have the time, there's only one restaurant I MUST hit- Cubby's BBQ in Hackensack. Best ribs ever! My absolute favorite, however, is the Rib Eye Steak Sandwich with mozzarella cheese and jalapeños. Heaven! read more

I think somewhere between 3 and 4 is a fair rating. Cute spot, and little overpriced. Staff was friendly I was pleasantly surprised that the rib actually had a depth of flavor of smokiness to it. The rib and the pulled pork weren't overly sauced up or too sweet. The Cole slaw was good, not too saucy. Wish we had more pickles! read more

Good food. The place is too expensive. It has a McDonald's style setting and some of his menu items are around $ 40.if yoy are not familiar with the pmace and have questions it is hard to get answers. Owner is lacking of manners. He talks and talks and doesn't listen. I was trying to avoid arguing with him and he had the audacity of following me to the car. He is rude!! read more

Ordered a full sized pulled pork sandwich on garlic bread - a bit pricey for what it is... Watch out for extra fees. When he asked if we wanted onions, said sure, didn't know it was an additional $1. When he asked if we wanted it cut into 3 pieces, said sure, didn't know that would be an extra $1 charge as well... cause we sure didn't need it to be cut at all if they charged for that. Long story short, don't get bamboozled like we did. Felt a bit too saucy and mediocre for the price and what it was, but maybe I didn't enjoy it as much cause I was salty about all the unexpected extra fees. read more

The guy at the counter told us to wait until they are "prepared" to take our order. Hardly a few people in the place. After about 5 minutes went to order again , " we're still not ready a few more minutes". It's called an order , take the fn order instead of making the customer wait around. We decided we didn't deserve this and left! Prices were exorbitant to begin with and horrible service and we are done. This place continues to amaze in wrong ways. read more

I heard about how good the ribs are from one of my Coworkers. Amazing Ribs, I could not help myself to finish them as soon as I started eating them. The owner came out as I was ordering, and was a pleasant person to chat with while waiting. I can't recommend this place enough! The Cajun Mac n cheese as well as the ribs were absolutely excellent. I'll be back again! read more

It's not cheap, $30 for a half rack of ribs. Had delivery that was quick and simple even though the fries were completely soggy by the driver 5 min away, I don't blame them for that but you may want to eat those in person. They do have fee on Uber to deliver. Sweet potato fries were too mushy so I'll leave that to someone else to review who eats them in person. The garlic bread pulled pork sandwich was good if you like ketchup flavored barbecue sauce, it's not too smoky but is overly sweet and salty. After reading other reviews I even asked for less sauce... but not sure if that was managed (wouldn't be surprised if they had it already pre-sauced beforehand since it was fairly evenly distributed and not just one on side), but I have definitely had better. And anything extra topping you want, including cheese or other toppings is all an extra charge. You can change the bread from the plain to garlic without fee. read more

Really good food, especially the garlic bread which was awesome, and great service. The menu selection is great with something for everyone. The women behind the counter and in front cleaning tables are very friendly and respectful toward customers. Ambiance is fine for the type of establishment; it's been here for years. As for the sangria, not worth the money. Unlike other sangrias elsewhere, this one had no visible fruit in it. I think the sangria is made of concentrated juices. read more

First stop was to the men's room. It smelled like summer camp (not in a good way). The staff is very friendly and efficient with a large fun looking menu. The mac 'n cheese was really good but it was downhill after that. The sliced steak sandwich was greasy and tasteless. The ribs were borderline boring. Expensive too. Perhaps this is why no one else was in the place for a Saturday lunch. If I return, it will be for the hot dogs but there are plenty of other places for them. read more

I came here for lunch with a group of 7 on a Sunday. You order/pay at the counter and seat yourself. I got the 6 pc buffalo wings and a side of mac & cheese. I ordered the regular mac & cheese but the employee put in cajun. At first, I didn't really mind enough to ask for it to be fixed. But I kind of wish I had gotten the regular because the saltiness of the buffalo wings + the saltiness from the cajun seasoning was too much sodium for me. The wings looked quite small, especially for the price. It also comes with celery, blue cheese, and extra buffalo sauce on the side. I'd like to come back to try other menu options, but I wasn't super impressed with my first experience here. read more

Love this place. Ribs are consistently awesome. Alittle pricey but always delicious.

Used to eat lunch here back in 2013/2014 when I lived in Hackensack. Used to love their food back then. Came here last weekend after bowling. The food didn't impress me anymore. The ambiance and decor are still top notch though. I am unable to pinpoint what's missing but the Mac and Cheese is not as good as before. I do recommend the rack or ribs though because it was so tender and delightful. The garlic bread was also very tasty! The service was great and the servers and cashiers were all polite and quick. read more

The food is soooo good! Our family loves to order out from Cubby's, the Ribs are amazing!

I am definitely going back again! Meat is so tender that it falls right off the bone! It also has a nice smokey taste and the barbecue sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. Pleasantly, the honey mustard chicken sandwich went well with the toasted soft buns that they served it on. The owner is very friendly as well and made us feel very welcomed! This place was recommended by a coworker and he definitely knew what he was talking about. read more

You're not going to find Ribs more tender and delicious as chubby's ribs. They were so good. I ate them before I could take a picture lol

As a fanatic of good old smokey pulled pork, this pork was extremely disappointing. When i realized there was NO SMOKE, i knew there was something wrong. I order a full plate sandwhich, which means you get 2-sandwiches, i added sautéed onions and i added french fries. Since i just happened to be coming out of the Costco, we figure we order 1 meal just to try it out. When j was ordering, the guy at the counter gave me the choice of garlic bread, plain itslian bread and something else, the cashier mumbled adding cheese in my sandwich, so I declined. Overall the sandwich was expensive and the cole slaw was just ok. To be honest, i end up not eating the italian bread, i ate the pork with the fries. The fries were the best part of the meal. The bbq sauce was very sweet, could have used some citrus to create a tangy effect with the bbq sauce. As always, i asked my self, would i come back? Unfortunately the answer is no. Its a shame that the pulled pork is not smokey and that instead of a soft bun you get a italian sandwich bread. The pulled pork alone with the side of fries was the way i had my meal. Bottom line tangy bbq, a soft bun and smoked pulled pork are the basic ingredients of this meal, unfortunately it was missing. read more

Came with family for a birthday and ordered a TON of food. Chicken platter, hot dog, pulled pork sandwich, chicken tenders, burger, steak sandwich, mac n cheese, garlic bread, and more. Everything was pretty mediocre but extremely overpriced... Key points: - Pulled pork sandwiches were OK but not as tender as I was hoping. Still chunky, chewy. - Mac and cheese had more oil than cheese. $9 for a little bowl! - Steak sandwich was a favorite, but probably because I got the toppings (onions and mushrooms) on the side. It was soaked in oil, literally spilling off the plate. - Regular fries were OK, the steak frites were much better. - Chicken tenders looked crispier than they tasted. Service: good, quick, it was really busy and slightly chaotic. You order at the counter, get a buzzer, and wait at a table. Kinda self-serve fastfood-esque. The people were nice. Interior could use a bit more seating, it's a bunch of booth/bench style seating along the wall fitting 6 at a table max if you squish in. Lots of newspaper clippings and old-timey articles about the place which is really cool. Wonder if the food was better and more decently priced back then! read more

I have always wanted to come here but never had a chance to for over 20 years. Heard great things about it and the reviews on Yelp seem to reflect the same vibes. Came here since I was around the area with a friend and remembered I have always wanted to try this spot out. It was late and there was no wait. Once I entered you place your order in the counter with the huge menu behind it. Ended up getting the full rack of ribs ($30- enough for two ppl) and added chilli and cheese to the fries. Got a side of honey mustard ($1) which was amazing and big (check my pic). Once you order they give you that square device that goes off when your order is ready to get picked up. You can sit anywhere you want. The ribs were wet with bbq sauce and fell off the bone with each bite and was very tasty. The chilli (spicy) cheese fries had a nice kick to it, solid pick. Overall, I was satisfied and full with my meal and would recommend to anyone that is in the mood for ribs. *servers clean up after you read more
