I have passed this establishment many times, and I always see a lot of people in there, so I really…read morewanted to try it. Hate to say it, disappointed. Started off with their 48 hour wings. I don't think it's 48 hours. I didn't taste the smoke, I didn't taste the tenderness. Ordered 1/2 lbs of Brisket, Sausage, and ribs. Again, ribs were tough, chewy, dry and no smoke. Sausage was just tough and dry. Brisket wasn't bad, but again, no smoke, no flavor. Corn pudding was okay, on the mushier side, but wasn't horrible. Corn bread was dry, the glob of butter wasn't helping. Onion rings were the only item that was good. And I'm just going to say it, I think that wasn't made in-house. Oh wait, the old fashion wasn't great, but i liked it. More alcohol that I thought they would put in. So more bang for the buck. That I appreciated. Server really didn't come around much. Our theory was that she knew and saw that we didn't like our food so she didn't want to ask how everything was. Even after dropping the check, we had to go and find someone to take our payment so we can leave.

We arrived at opening. The restaurant was clean, and the staff were attentive, kind, courteous, and helpful. The decor is awesome! I felt like I was in Texas, and not in East Rutherford, NJ. This is what you imagine a bbq pit to look like inside. The food: BBQ nachos with brisket were loaded with toppings and incredibly flavorful. Nothing soggy here. Everything in the cast-iron skillet was crispy and delicious. The sloppy Texan sandwich: where has this been all my life?! Brisket, ground beef, bacon, onions, pickles, and cheese?! Brisket was tender, bacon was flavorful, and everything was delicious. Nice smoky flavor! Quality of food was great, decor was awesome, and the staff were excellent. We will be back! Great experience!

Having no knowledge of this location, my curiosity led me inside. Jose, the manager, told me the chef prepares a homemade barbecue sauce, which has been a family secret recipe for over 30 years. Jose also brought to my attention a really great deal offered on Tuesdays: full rack of ribs for the cost of a half rack! He gave me a free sample of the secret sauce. That spoon size taste went a long way as I was immediately hooked by its flavor and tanginess. With the exception of the wings, I tried the sauce on all of their killer meats! The tender, juicy brisket melted in my mouth. The pork ribs fell right off the bone. My personal favorite was the bird in hand. This half chicken made me feel like I was in dining at Medieval Times in Lyndhurst! The only thing missing was a tournament with gladiators grappling in a colosseum! Between the tasty meats, strictly confidential house made barbecue sauce, and the excellent service from the manager and the servers, I was very content and my crave for barbecue has been happily fulfilled! #jimdandys #killermeats #barbecue #MangoHabanero #smokedbrisket #rackofribs #pulledpork #barbecuechicken

I chose the Lemon & Herb flavor for one and the Medium spice for the other. It took a little while for the food to come out, but it was worth the wait. The chicken had a nice grilled and roasted flavor, and it was juicy throughout. The Lemon & Herb had great flavor, while the Medium spice had a nice little kick to it. I also ordered a large Peri Fries ($5.95). They were lightly battered, seasoned with peri salt, and crispy on the outside. Solid fries that I really enjoyed. Overall, I enjoyed my meal, and the BOGO deal made it an even better value. I would recommend this place if you're looking for tasty grilled chicken with plenty of flavor.

RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Recently dined in on a Friday evening from 6-7:30 PM and it was prettty busy inside, but still had a lot of open tables. The mall DOES get crazy crowded on Saturday evenings, so can imagine the same happening in the H Mart Food Hall as well during peak lunch and dinner dining times.

I will warn that the batter is a bit thick so I heavily advise you eat over the container so it doesn't drop off the stick and onto the floor. The hotdog or sausage they used tasted better than the cheese too (in my opinion). And I love that right outside there is a plethora of sauces you can drizzle on top! Ordering was done via a self service kiosk too and then you took a little buzzer that went off when your order was ready which was cute.

I love the colors and decor. One of the coolest touches are the vinyl album covers of the counties top music artist adorning the walls. Now getting to the menu, its small but has some tasty sounding options. If your a wing fan they have u covered. I ordered the fried Catfish with the veggie fried rice. It was perfectly seasoned and so light. Not at all greasy or heavy. For the price $35+ i would have like two pieces of Catfish but it wasnt a deal breaker. A must try is their cornbread!!! At first glance it just looks ok and cutting into it i felt it was going to be stale and hard but nooooo It was sooo good!!! U could tell it was homemade. They give u butter and homemade jam on the side. I almost ordered another!! It was that good!!! Fried fish and cornbread is the perfect combo if i know u know lol. If i could say one thing i didnt love was the fact they had no happy hour menu for afterwork crowd and no specials. That goes a long way with speciality restaurants!!! Their signature cocktails start at about $15 and up. I definitely will return to try some other items on the menu. I recommend if ur in American Dream mall for a special event at adjacent Met Life stadium or just spending a day at the mall, consider a dining experience at Marcus live bar and grill!!

The…read morevibe inside is awesome--it feels like a cool jazz club with a 70s flair, and the service was warm, welcoming, and super fast. ​The food was hit-or-miss, but the hits really stood out. The fried calamari was easily the best thing on the table. It was fresh, seasoned simply with salt and pepper, and cooked perfectly without a trace of rubberiness. On the flip side, the deviled eggs fell flat. Instead of the dill and hot sauce promised on the menu, they just came with crispy onions and lacked any real texture contrast. ​For the main sides, the crispy Cajun catfish with veggie fried rice was pretty boring--the rice was bland and the fish lacked both the crispness and Cajun flavor I was hoping for. We also got the 12-piece chicken wings. The wings were a great size, but the "everything sauce" was a strange mix of flavors that just didn't work together, while the smoked BBQ was just average. Thankfully, we added a side of mac and cheese to go with them, and it was pretty good--piping hot and had a nice cheese pull. ​All in all, it's a good spot with a fun atmosphere and solid service. Even with a few misses on the entrees, the calamari and mac and cheese made it a good stop after a long day.
