    the outside of the restaurant
    Sonji C.

    I was in a rush to head back to work but I had to stop here! Lumpy's BBQ takes me back to the South and fulfills my BBQ cravings. The cashier was super sweet and made some good suggestions I got the TexMex Chicken Sandwich. It was a bit on the smaller side size wise but the flavors were all there! I really enjoyed it and the BBQ sauce was phenomenal! I suggest getting the spicy one. The inside is a homey small town vibe, lots of places to sit and it was decorated for the holidays. I wanna head back for some of their actual BBQ. Also a woman came in to get two 50 dollar gift cards so I consider that a testament to the quality of the food. I'm glad I came it was definitely better than any fast food place.

    BBQ ribs with brisket and pulled pork.

    This was a first time order and it was so worth it!! I ordered through DoorDash so I can't speak for what the restaurant looks like. But the food was beyond amazing!! The ribs were cooked perfectly and fell off the bone. The burnt ends were crispy and delicious. And the pulled pork and brisket were awesome!!! Also had hot dogs, that were huge and tasted like a summer bbq party. And the banana pudding was awesome!!! We had sides of Mac and cheese, bake beans, and mashed potatoes with gravy. Totally awesome! Definitely a must try! And the service was great! Everything we ordered was there and they got the special request correct!!!

    Broken cheese

    This place has really gone downhill in recent years. In the beginning the food was great and they were the best cheese fries I ever had. Period! But now, you order cheese fries and there is barely any cheese on them making you have to ask for extra which is of course an extra charge. How convenient. Tonight was the last straw. We ordered a cheeseburger, cheese fries and my husband got a pulled chicken platter with meat and potatoes. While the delivery was fast, when we got the food the cheese was broken. Meaning, the cheese separated due to overheating. I called to let them know it was basically inedible. The girl said I know, its our new cheese. You know??? If you know its terrible, dont serve it. I asked for a refund on our extra charge for the fries and I was put on a long hold just for her to get back on the line, with the manager talking in her ear in the background. She told me they "didn't know how" to process a refund and that would i like a credit for a future order? My husband had said we were never going back there as this was like the 4th time we were underwhelmed with the service and the food so I said no, id like our refund. How does a compa y nor know how to refund a charge? Sounds like some bs. Bye bye lumpy, have fun loosing customers for $2.50!!

    Pulled chicken and green beans platter

    What are these burnt ends that everyone is talking about? All the reason to come back here and find out. Lumpy's BBQ hit the spot after a Sunday afternoon excursion to the Gloucester Outlets. Shopping on a Sunday? I'm really NOT in Bergen County anymore, Toto! My Sexylove ordered the pulled chicken platter with a side of green beans (flavor akin to collard greens), and I ordered the pulled pork platter with a side of cole slaw. We both opted for hot sauce instead of mild, and we waited for our food at our table with bated breath. He and I are talkers but I don't think we came up for air the entire time we ate. We "oohed" and "ahhed" like two starved wackos. The flavor of the pork was amazing and the cole slaw was an awesome accoutrement (I have been dying to use that word all day today). We even ordered some food for later...it was that good. Lumpy's seems like more of a to-go place, as there were a good amount of people picking up orders. That being said, there are a handful of tables inside, should you require your BBQ gratification right then and there. The atmosphere inside is a bit dingy (clean though) but the vibe was very chill and relaxed. I am not an expert on BBQ and styles of BBQ and all that jazz, but I can tell you it was BBQ-tastic. And that's reason enough for me to give two thumbs up!

    I live so close but never had tried Lumpy's. I guess bc you have to be in the mood for BBQ! YUMMY! good! I loved the tender chicken that wasn't slathered w BBQ sauce. Very tasty! Our waitress brought us bottles of mild & hot to add to our meals. Sides were mac & cheese & sweet potatoes. Vince wasn't wow'd by his mac (I concur) I was happy w my sp's but didn't go wild for them. We had mixed 'reviews' on the chili. I LOVED it - unique w the brisket plus nice &'cheesy. We both wldve enjoyed a blob of sour cream w it though ;) No room for desserts but Im imagining that their pecan pie is heavenly! Decor is cutesie and service, meh. They seem to do a bigger take out business than dine in. Prices are fair & food comes out quickly. Win-win! Ill definitely return!

    The employee who was extremely rude.

    Had the misfortune of interacting with their business during the harvest festival in Barrington. I asked a question to a staff member and was met with the worst customer service I have encountered in a long time. Business made some people wait 15 minutes for food in one line while others were served quicker in a separate line that employees didn't let people know about. Me, a customer, went out of my way to inform standing guests of the looong line in lieu of the actual business to help people. Spend your hard earned money on a business who cares about their customers enough to care about respecting their customers verbally and respecting their time.

    Thought I'd try to see what this area had in terms of BBQ. It was one of 3 options and had the best reviews. The service was minimal, but friendly. It was fast food style, walk in, order and then pick up when called. Menu was small. Definitely does not serve BBQ like the south. It was overly priced too. I ordered the burnt ends, although delicious, it barely filled me. The only extra condiments you get, you have to order extra. No onions, no beans, no cornbread, no regular bread unless you add it on. They were busy while we were there though, so enough people enjoy it that it is able to stay afloat. They have plenty of parking and is tucked in an odd strip mall. Happy eating!

    I first want to start off by saying I have been a supporter of this establishment from when she…read morefirst opened doors at this location... From the very beginning she was always a little off in regards to poor time management, bad customer service, etc. The food however at the beginning was great, so my husband and I would deal with the quirks. I can finally say not only do I despise the horrible business owner that she is but also the food. Not sure what she did over the years (my guess is her crock pot usage) but the food is horrendous. This is how my night went. Go there, very friendly prompt young man helps me out, I place my order, of course she is out of something (she gives the most longwinded excuses). that's no problem I say. Wait 20 minutes ( shortest I've ever wAited I might add) give the pleasurable have a nice night. Drive home. Husband and child hungry. Open styrofoam containers. Noooo jerk chicken. Pretty sure i ordered jerk chicken platters... Drive back and they are astonished. She talks to the young man and seems annoyed (I should be more annoyed for the mere inconvenience) then I watch this nice polite boy scoop what looks like wet cat food out of a crock pot over the what is now cold rice and beans. She says nothing. Irritated, I just think if it was all right there in a crock pot why did I initially wait so long only to drive back because they forgot the meat. I get all the way home with now semi cold food and watch my son spit out the Mac and cheese (who knows how old it was) my husband almost choke on the bits of bones and me grazing over this "meal" in pure disgust. None the less I'm $36 dollars poorer for 2 jerk platters, side of Mac and cheese, 2 drinks. Food in trash and hungry. I never write reviews, but since it is the last time I will ever step foot into that establishment I thought I'd save someone else some hard earned money for this disappointment in a box.

The rice bowl that I can't recall the name of was a little hot but not overbearing but I also got chipotle mayo on top but you can pick your sauces. The chicken thigh isn't my preference but I give it a strong 8.5-9. Drinks were expensive. Understandable maybe at an eat in restaurant and even then I'm kinda side eyeing the price. Overall this is a solid spot to eat. So I figured I'd get the good out of the way. We ordered from here expecting a wait. It was Saturday so ok. 2 and a half hour preorder. Food should be done at 8. We get there. Foods not ready. 41 minutes later. I kinda was hoping the food was bad so I could write a horrible review but the food was fire if they could get their system or more workers to speed things up we would be a five star Update: Owners is cool by me. Explained the system when they didn't have too. Five stars. Be back sooner than later

The chicken Caesar wrap was huge, packed with flavor, and seriously satisfying. Every bite had the perfect balance of chicken, dressing, and crunch. But the chicken lamb gyro? That was next level.

Great portions, bold flavors, and food that actually leaves you full and happy. Verdant is officially a go to spot for me now, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

The mild wings were extra crispy and full of flavor, and the blue cheese that came with them was great. The nicely plated chicken cheesesteak egg rolls were really good too, and I loved that they use Liscio's seeded bread for their sandwiches. It's soft and fluffy on the outside with that perfect crunch on the outside of the chicken. Their hot honey sauce had a nice mix of sweet and spicy, and the fries were cooked perfectly. Drinks were made well, and my cosmo looked great and tasted even better. The chicken quesadilla was stuffed with fillings, though I wasn't really into the cream cheese on the side. Prefer sour cream. The salsa it came with was fresh and flavorful. Service was quick and friendly, but the atmosphere felt a little awkward. There wasn't any music playing, just TVs with an NBA on with commercials which made it a bit too quiet & odd. The pool tables seemed to be the main draw since people were playing constantly. Overall, great food and drinks with friendly service. I just wish there was some background music or a livelier vibe inside because the food alone makes it worth coming back for.
