I like how crispy the skin was but I probably won't come back for that even though it is in the name of the place. There is just a lot of better chicken places nearby. I saw that they have empanadas as well so I got one of each of the chicken and beef. The empanadas were ok, not a lot of filling in either one and also pretty dry. In their fridge they have other treats. I noticed that they had Habichuelas con Dulce - a sweet bean dessert I've been on the hunt for. It was really good, the highlight of my visit. The service was good, the woman that helped me was really nice. Their hot buffet looks promising though so I will definitely be back to try some of their other dishes but certainly not their chicken, at least not the leg pieces.

The walls are mixed with aged eclectic landscape art, and world's flags mantled on the walls. I couldn't sort my belonging whether I was on the coast of south europe, or at a sports bar. The service here is amazing! I originally wanted pork skewers, but the server said that it would take ~40 min to prepare. We were on a time crunch, therefore we ordered Portuguese style bbq chicken with a side of beans, potatoes, and a large serving of rice to share. The chicken was okay, it wasn't as juicy as I would have liked it to be, nor did it have much flavour except salt. The beans tasted metal like as if they were straight out of a can, and the rice wasn't very good at all. The yellow rice smelled good but had no flavour, and it wasn't fully cooked. It makes me wonder if they use instant rice. Maybe it's all matter of preference, because others seem to enjoy the food. The joint smells great from outside, but I don't think I'm curious enough to try the rest of the menu. The servers deserve 5 stars!

The staff is very friendly and they all were working very hard to get everyone's orders ready. The staff is very nice. I placed my order to go for (2) half orders of BBQ Chicken Combo. A 1/2 order comes with a half a chicken cut up into 4 pieces of bbq chicken, a choice of yellow rice, black or red beans, fries, or salad. They also serve several different types of homemade Empanadas, Yuca, and Fried Bananas. This is not a big place. There are a couple of tables and a few counter seats. I saw in their refrigerator they have ready to go desserts. I added 2 Flans to go with my order. When I got home I was really surprised. They didn't skimp on our orders. They gave me 1/2 a chicken cut up into 4 nice pieces of chicken which was juicy with a side of hot sauce and a side of their bbq sauce. Both sauces were good. I also got an abundance of delicious yellow rice with some veggies in it. I chose black beans which came in a separate container. I enjoyed everything and so did my boyfriend. For dessert we each got a flan. I was truly surprised. My flan was super creamy, it had lots of caramel sauce on the bottom. The flan was so very good I couldn't stop eating it. I highly recommend trying their dessert.They also sell Tres Leche Cake,Rice Pudding, Oreo Cake,Tiramisu, Cheese Cake, Carrot Cake, and Red Velvet Cake. Dunellen BBQ offers an extensive menu. They offer chicken, steak, and seafood along with kebabs and sandwiches. There is a free parking lot next door. It's small bc they share it. There's also some street parking. I would definitely recommend trying this place especially their BBQ chicken platter.

I grew to pride myself on my ability to practice extreme amounts of restraint and discipline in…read morerecent years, and, like with many of the habits I fixate on, I did not practice this in moderation and allowed it to bleed into most spheres of my life. This included my dining habits. I used to frequently deny myself small pleasures like baked goods, coffees, and restaurant outings, prioritizing my outrageous savings goals every time I felt the urge to indulge in an "unnecessary spend". Over time, I became quite the expert at pointing to sidewalk sandwich boards with enticing menu items, saying "that sounds so good!", and continuing onward, the thought of actually purchasing the food never crossing my mind. I've since met my original savings goals and grown as a person (ever so slightly). And I am now knee-deep in the obligatory quarter-life crisis that seems to hit every over-achieving asshole 2 years post-grad. It is a phase that I can only describe as both invigorating and soul-crushing. I am finding myself growing bolder and more inquisitive with every passing day. I'm registering for lessons in extreme sports I only learned about mere hours before, I'm saying yes to impromptu cross-country and international trips, and I'm also finally allowing myself to get a plate of jerk chicken when I want some damn jerk chicken. My mother and I happened to park right by this small Caribbean joint in New Brunswick while meeting with my sister earlier today, and I kept staring at the restaurant, marveling at the menu items painted on the black sandwich board by its front door: "Oxtail, curried chicken, plantains, jerk chicken, rice and peas, stew beef...That sounds so good" "Go get it!" My mother said. Now, I would previously have come up with an excuse to avoid making the purchase. But as I have just explained, I've entered a very Bourdainian time of my life. So I wasted no time--I sprang out of my seat and walked into Cool Runnin's with a smile plastered to my face. Everything inside just felt *right*. It was a tiny restaurant with harsh, white lighting and no seating inside. The walls were painted a buttery yellow with touches of coral and green throughout. There were two fridges that were packed with small slices of rum cake and an assortment of juices. The counter at the front was small and adjacent to a wire frame shelf that was lined with several brands of plantain chips. It felt like I had wandered into a small, roadside store in Kerala. The woman who took my order was lively and warm and had a thick Jamaican accent that made every exchange feel like a hug. She was operating on island time; she moved slowly, joking with me as she poured the rice, chicken, cabbage, and sauce into my takeout container. And she paused, several times, to take bites of a cinnamon apple cake she had just baked. The container was wrapped in a plastic bag, which she sealed with a small pink sticker: "Here ya go, babygirl", she said, handing me the bag. I don't think I could have smiled any wider. I skipped back into my car, beaming. The food was, to no one's surprise, incredible. The chicken was sweet and a bit spicy. The meat was practically falling off the bone. The sauce and rice complemented each other beautifully, and the simplicity of the cabbage balanced out the otherwise heavy dish. My parents loved it too. I will be back to try more menu items. Or perhaps to get this jerk chicken again but on mac and cheese next time...

I didnt take pictures because…read moreI was so hungry by the time my food came out i couldnt think of anything but eating and what i did eat, was pretty good bbq food. thats the only redeeming thing about this place HERES THE BAD: To start the journey, i must let you know me and my partner got to the restaurant at 6:30 pm, there were so many open tables but allegedly a few reservations . the hostess/manager assured us the way would "5-10 minutes" we ended up sitting down at like 7:20. immedietly tried to order because we were so hungry and the waiter was ljke "sorry we are so busy and this is my first day" so he was frazzled af. Also, there was no music playing at all so the place felt like a sensory deprivation tank. anyways since our waiter had no experience with the menu we couldnt really ask him any questions and he had trouble figuring out some aspects of the little ordering machine. however he tried his best and he got our order in. Two huge groups came in before us and sat before us and they still hadnt got their food by the time we did which was insane. also they charged us for and gave us a side of fries and when we asked about it the server assured us it wouldnt be on the bill. After we finished we waited like 30 minurs to get somone to give us the check and of course the fries were there and he tried to argue with us abt the fries even tho we already flgged that we didnt order it and didnt eat it. anyways when we left at 8:30, the large groups still didnt have there food AND there were two tables of two who sat at the same time as us that hadnt got food by the time we left. It seemed like only 5 people worked there and its a huge restaurant . I prob would only get a to go order from here #noshade
