This place is EXCELLENT!!! We had the half slab (dry) and brisket with bbq beans and cornbread and their special, jambalaya. Going home with a happy stomach and we are very satisfied. Will be returning !!! read more

The dry rub ribs were delicious. Family also enjoys cheese steaks and fries there. Overall not to bad

Ordered the bbq chicken sandwich and added fries, cheese and fried onions. The fries were good, but everything else was not. The chicken was dry, the bun wasn't toasted, the cheese was some sort of wet sauce instead of a slice which made the sandwich nearly impossible to eat because of how soggy it was, and the fried onion was limp and wet. Overall the sandwich flavor was mediocre and the texture was horrible. Would not repeat this order. read more

Very good BBQ. Ribs were cooked perfectly and the seasoning was just right. Only sides I had was French Fries. The Fries had Old Bay seasoning on them. The location is more of a takeout joint with a few seats. Nothing special to look at but was very clean. Not many drink options. Bottled soda and fountain soda. I did not see any other healthier options except water. Fresh brewed tea would go great with the ribs! read more

I ordered takeout from here on an NFL Sunday. It was only about a 10 minute wait for the food which was fresh and hot. I will be going back to try other menu items. I am not a huge barbecue person when it comes to things like ribs and brisket, but the beef brisket melt was quite delicious. The addition of the cheese and grilled onions really made it work. The burnt ends also were good as well. The hot barbecue sauce on both had the right amount of kick to it. The only thing I didn't like was the side of collar greens. It was kind of bland without much taste/flavor to it. Also, this place leaves the hard "spine" in the leaves (which I always thought was inedible since it has always been deleted). I have never ever seen greens cooked that way. The spine is usually cut out and discarded; the leaves rolled and sliced into ribbons. Maybe next time I will get the mac and cheese. I went back again on 2-9-16. I got the Texmex chicken. It was GREAT! A nice big chicken breast with grilled onions and cheese. I will definitely go back for that sandwich. read more

See all

Ordered delivery, first time trying this place. The food was excellent, despite having to travel. I'm definitely going to start going here when I want to go out for some BBQ. I had the brisket, wife had bbq chicken. Both were fantastic...really, really good stuff. read more

I'm a big fan of this place. Best beef ribs this side of Texas. The service is beyond good. Like sandwiches? Dig in. The people are.great, the food is great and the prices are right..... so what are you waiting for. Give it a shot. You'll be back. Oh yeah, I make the ride from New York. It's worth it! read more

Lumpy's BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Clementon, New Jersey

They get 5 stars hands down! Definitely worth the drive over the bridge. The dry rub ribs are to die for. We ordered collard greens, potato salad and Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese needs some help but the collard greens and potatoe salad was very tasty. Just wish i had order more corn bread. And they were priced just right. My new rib spot! read more

It's a hidden gem of a place in a plaza that is up and coming. The food is so good and the prices are not bad. The cook is amazing and the staff is so friendly. Highly recommend it to everyone near or far. read more

So I like to consider myself an expert when it comes to bbq. Lumpy's is an ok bbq joint in strip mall. Service is really poor. Seams to be more of a take out kinda place. They use lots of sauce on the food. Had wings with lots of sauce on them also the "burnt ends" they too had way to much sauce on them. I guess customers in this area like a lot of sauce on food. Came in around 6 pm on a Wednesday. We sat at table. We were only ones there. Then were told to come to counter to order. The help was very nice but just sat around on the freezer. I would be surprised to see this place last much longer with better options in area. Like I said it's ok bbq if your in the area. Would not drive far to come here. read more

Lumpy's BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Clementon, New Jersey

I had very high hopes for this place because of the reviews but didn't perform as I had hoped. First visit I ordered the Dry rub ribs and they were ok probably their best item on the menu but don't make a special trip, if in the area do try for yourself this is my opinion from someone that had actual bbq from around the county and Texas. The second visit I ordered the burnt end platter also a lot of good reviews. They smother it in bbq so you don't actually get to enjoy the burnt ends and there's not enough fatty pieces that are the best. Overall I wouldn't order these again but maybe get the ribs again. I recommend Whole hog for the areas best burnt ends, mission is ok but nothing comes close to pit smoked real bbq. These are just to hold you over till you have the ability to get some. Don't wanna bash lumpy but please step it up and don't rely on bbq sauce because that's not real bbq. read more

Lumpy's BBQ - Burnt ends wasted, too much bbq sauce and lean meat. - Barbeque Near Me - Clementon, New Jersey

We used Lumpy's BBQ for our summer company picnic. WOW, what a smart choice. The food was above delicious. Every attendee commented on how great the food was and how nice and accommodating the Lumpy's representatives were. I am a huge brisket fan and this was one of the best i have ever had. Lumpy's hot bbq sauce had just the right amount of heat along with such a complexe and unbelievable flavor. I would definitely recommend using them for catering needs or eating at their location. Thank You Lumpy's BBQ! read more

So, do you like meat? How about candy? Lumpy's Burnt Ends = Meat Candy. I've been here a number of times, always for take out and I am not ashamed to admit the Burnt Ends are the menu item I always get. Sometimes, I hide them from the family and scurry away into a dark corner to indulge. I know I should share. Next time. Have gotten them with both hot and mild sauces, as well as dry. They're great any way. Homemade potato salad is delish, too. Prices are reasonable, and that's not easy in quality bbq. Visit and enjoy. read more

This place is without a doubt the best BBQ in the area. My wife and I tried this place on a lark the first time after having a chuckle about the name. Needless to say it was phenomenal. We have had it several times since then and nothing we have had there has failed to wow us. Last time we actually went in and the staff are as awesome as the food. Highly recommend the Brisket, Mac and Cheese, Cole Slaw, and Cheatday Quesadilla. Not saying that the rest of the menu isn't awesome these are just my personal favorites. Lumpys!!! read more

Great bbq! Ribs are delicious smoked perfectly and very little fat. I recommend a slab of ribs, dry rubbed wings, and their brisket. There bbq sauces are spot on. And another important factor is there bbq is always fresh, doesn't taste like it has been sitting around. Thank you! read more

I dont know what it is about their burnt ends entree, but its easily the best bbq ive ever had. As a north jersey native the only bbq i eat is in cities like Hill Country or Dinosaur BBQ, so finding this place on a work trip was tops! read more

Still my favorite BBQ spot in south jersey. Very reasonably priced. The pulled pork sandwich with hot BBQ is out of this world. Great fries too! Love all their food. read more

Picked up2 platters today one Rib and other Pulled pork. Pulled pork was better tasting than ribs and wasn't happy with mac & cheese, string beans was ok. read more

Great people , awesome bbq . The burnt ends are on point . It's straight forward bbq . These guys know what they are doing . The pulled pork is great and so are the ribs !! Definitely stop in for a bite of your hungry for BBQ . read more

My boyfriend and I were in the mood for barbecue, and we decided to try Lumpy's after checking out a few other places in the area on Yelp. I am so glad we decided on this place - it was the best! We wanted to try a little bit of everything, so we got two sampler platters and a couple of sides. The restaurant itself was very clean. Bathrooms were tidy, nothing looked gross. It's counter service, with some tables along the walls. Everyone was friendly and helpful, and service was fast. He got the half wrack ribs with mild sauce and pulled pork, and a side of mac and cheese. I got the half wrack ribs with dry rub and burnt ends with hot sauce, mac and cheese, and an extra side of buttered green beans. The ribs, both the dry and the wet, were fantastic. Very tender, but not falling apart in your mouth (which is the way they should be!). The mild sauce was good, not overly sweet. The dry rub had a good kick, but I wouldn't classify it as overly spicy, either. The pork was equally delicious. Perfectly tender, and enough flavor that you absolutely didn't need to add any extra sauce at the table. Only thing I wish they'd had was a cider or vinegar based sauce for it, but this is definitely more of a Texas style barbecue place so there wasn't any to be found. The burnt ends were my favorite part. I was so excited to see they had them on the menu - so few barbecue places do! But they really are fantastic. If you've never had them, I highly suggest giving them a try. They're basically the really well done end parts of a brisket, simmered in barbecue sauce. Lumpy's were SO good. Not as wet as some I've had, but tons of flavor. We had left overs of everything except those. They were too good! The mac and cheese and buttered green beans were both really good as well. Obviously, the star of any barbecue place should be the meat, but the sides should hold up, too, and Lumpy's do. For dessert we split the bread pudding with rum raisin sauce. The girl at the counter tipped us off to this. She said it's the only dessert they make on premises. It was FANTASTIC. We were so full we could barely move, but it was so good we had to keep eating it. Definitely meant for sharing, the piece they gave us was huge. Barely fit in the container they served it in. If I were local to the area, I would probably make this my go-to barbecue place. Everything was fantastic. One thing to note - as we were finishing up, a woman who had placed a to-go order came back in because she thought her chicken was undercooked. Lumpy himself came out to inspect the chicken, which was not in fact undercooked at all. He tried to explain to her, very patiently, that barbecue chicken is often a pink color on the inside because of the chemical process that takes place while it's being cooked, and that the meat pulling away from the bone freely indicates that's done, but she wasn't having it and ended up ordering something else. I thought he handled the situation very well. He stood by the quality of his cooking, but still took care of his customer and got her something else. I would have eaten the chicken, though! read more

The food was good and for the price you can't beat that ! I found the Rib tips to be good but the side(beans, Mac, sweet potato) could use alittle more flavor overall would recommend ! read more

I'm always looking for a great BBQ place and I stumbled upon this little gem. The owners are really friendly and the service was great. I ordered the Beef Brisket sandwich and was very pleased. It was very tender, and flavorful and not fatty at all. I know you have to cook brisket with the fat for the flavor but I hate it when the slices are served with too much fat. The sandwich, fries and a refillable drink came to under $10. That's hard to beat. I can't wait return for a rack of ribs!!! read more

I was skeptical about using this place because of the reviews. However, the ribs were tasty. Service was fair, it was take out.

This place has really good bar b cue.I've tried other places but for this area this is the best. They have great sides as well. I like that I can mix and choose multiple items. My favorite is the pulled pork and sweet potatoes. Can get a little pricey, but we'll worth it. read more

My fiancé decided to try Lumpy's out for the first time tonight. He got the pulled chicken platter and I got the cheat day quesadilla. We've had barbecue in the past, but this was the absolute best BBQ we've ever had. Food came quick (we had ours delivered), decently priced, and was still hot when it was delivered. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to try something new. Absolutely incredible food. We will definitely be ordering from here again. read more

#1 treat in my house... mu husband calls it comfort food... but it just is plain and simply good BBQ! We come everytime we dont want to cook it and for parties too (well sometimes depending on the party) Although the sidws are good I'd rather just get the meat and save a little money that way. read more

I had burnt ends. They were OK at best. Other food looked better. Pricey for what you get.

The mashed potatoes were pretty good. Went there for the pulled chicken. I left there with a spit of sauce on it and chicken dryer than a rotisserie chicken left in the fridge for a week. I had to go home and cover it with my own sauce to get it down . If you been to Mission BBQ for the pulled chicken then do not switch to try this. For the price, quantity/ quality, it was really bad and over priced. If you cant get chicken moist and have any smoke flavor , then you need to start from the basics. I would love to try it again in the future if there was changes made . But until then Mission BBQ will be the go to .( also you get smoke flavor, generous sauce, and moist chicken that's warm!). read more

Lumpys has great ribs with their sweet and tangy sauce. But their lemon pepper dry rub wings are my favorite. A little salty, but well flavored. Macaroni and cheese is SO bland, like it is made out of American cheese, don't bother. Crinkle cut fries are good. Haven't tried the corn bread, you have to pay extra for it. Seems to do a hopping take out business. Only about 4 tables for eat in. read more

Came across Lumpys bbq stand when I was starving and torn between this n the bacon broad a truck next to it. I walked up and asked what's good and got the expected response of the ribs, brisket, pork. I got the pulled pork sandwich and the fries. I sort of wish it was on a brioche bun n it looked a bit plain. The crinkle fries were hot and good enough but the sandwich while it was as dry as it appeared it seemed to paso some flavor and I had a small fatty piece mixed in. If I had extra sauce it may have made it better and maybe it's better in person at their location. I was disappointed a bit to have gone with this but I was starving n who knows...the other stands may not have been as good. N the name seems a bit unfortunate lol read more

Lumpy's BBQ - Pulled pork sandwich n fries - Barbeque Near Me - Clementon, New Jersey

Lumpys food is amazing! my fave is the pulled pork. Delish! We hire them annually to cater our largest event in the summers at my work. Always great food and service!! Highly recommend Lumpys!! read more

Sometimes you find a place that touches you in a special way and you come back again and again. For me, Lumpy's is that kind of place. So, everything on the menu is excellent but one thing really stands out for me: the Combo pulled pork/beef brisket sandwich. I can't help myself. Every time I go I get the same thing. Slow cooked pulled pork layered on top of tender brisket. I always get the spicy Sauce to add some kick and because the flavor is an outstanding peppery/sweet amalgam. Every bite is a delight. To top it off, their fries are the perfect pairing: crisp, fresh and with a dash of seasoning salt. I've been eating at Lumpy's for going on 7 years now and every time tastes like the first time. I always order the combo sandwich, but from memory I can attest that the BBQ chicken and ribs are both also on point. If you find yourself roaming through South Jersey, make your way down to Lumpy's and share a little piece of my joy. read more

This place is the worst. The one counter woman always has a horrible attitude like you are giving her a hard time just by picking up food there. There is NO HUSTLE from anyone at this restaurant. Everyone is always in the back chatting in a group including the cooks while you are waiting to eat. No matter how good the food is, if the people working at an establishment are unprofessional then it's not worth going there. And god forbid you complain! You will get an ear full from the counter girl. This place is a f-ing joke! read more

I've had a lot of great barbecue platters from Lumpy's, like their pulled chicken, pulled pork, burnt ends, and chili. All of these options work best with their hot barbeque sauce which has the perfect amount of heat. Burnt ends are probably my favorite option so far. Their sides are usually very lacking and I've tried all of them. However, the corn bread is really tasty and goes perfect with the chili. The mac and cheese is probably their second best option and works really well when combined with the hot barbeque sauce from your platter. read more

TERRIBLE ATTITUDE. The skinny, white lady with the long, dark thin hair had a horrible attitude while taking orders. She really should consider another job where she will be happier. I'm pretty sure if i was in a business suit she wouldn't have such horrible energy. You never know who you're serving. Food is decent, sides can use some work, and cashier that looks like she hates to be bothered needs to be replaced. I'm pretty sure she is related to the owners, maybe she should stay behind the scenes. read more

Great BBQ - the spicy BBQ is very good with just the right amount of heat. Can't beat the weekday lunch specials - the Beef brisket sandwich is awesome. They pile on generous portions of meat for a dynamite sandwich. read more

Man oh man. Lumpy's is no joke. For a white dude my man can make some serious bbq. Mac and cheese and burnt ends with cornbread. Been there a couple dozen times, and have tried everything. That being said, burnt ends, Mac and cheese, cornbread. Phenomenal. read more

not bad. We had burnt ends, they were a lil fatty, I also had a cheat day chicken tender Quesadilla and my daughter had a bbq Quesadilla, we got 2 corn breads and 3 teeny tiny cups of banana pudding and it was close to $65-75 bucks - very expensive, food is tasty though. So be prepared to spend money here. Their bbq sauce is tasty tho too. I just can't afford it on a daily basis. but once every 2-3 months isn't bad, if you love bbq read more

Fast, friendly service. Tables are not waited, really, but they will check on you. Beef brisket and pulled chicken. Excellent. Brisket was melt in your mouth. Cornbread also good. Pecan pie okay. Green beans and baked beans- meh. I added bbq to the baked beans and they were better. Bbq sauce is excellent. All you can drink soft drinks. read more

I ordered take out for the first time and I'm back again! I had the dry rub ribs, baked beans and slaw. It was very tasty!!!
