Stoltzfus BBQ - Yummmm - Barbeque Near Me - Columbus, New Jersey

We have been to the Columbus Market a few times, first time trying the BBQ stand. Firstly the price for the quality and quanity is perfect. This review is with that in mind. Partner loved is spicy sausage. Thick and not overly spicy. I had the 4 ribs plate. Sauce was amazing, cooked great but they were kind of fatty. Still they were good. Sides of corn/lima kinda like succatash.. from Canned veggies added butter etc, Was good. The whole rosted potatoes were a stand out!! Stuffing was decent.. a bit to mushy. Stuffed mushrooms were solid. Another person ordered the Mac and cheese..teenager said it was good. She is picky, so I bet it was. Overall price/ quanity it was definitely worth it. Are there other bbq that are better? Sure. but this was good enough for a return visit. read more

I don't think I've ever been here when the line is less than 50 people deep lol! Food here is cheap delicious and filling! Its run by Amish so you know its top notch and good for you, more or less lol! From the ribs to the chicken, the food here is very good. When they are done for the day, they start selling stuff at super discounts, like half price! It might not be exactly what you were hoping for. But its delicious and worth it. Seating is a tad bit dated, it feels very 90s, but its clean! Well as long as the previous person cleaned up after themselves... I think I mean is that even though it feels dated, it still feels warm and inviting. Its not dated and falling apart, if that makes sense. The quality here is 2nd to none! If you are lucky enough to be here when they are open, I very highly recommend them! read more

Daughter and I decided to try this place for lunch. We were craving for bbq and this place smelled good. We got the baby back ribs and chicken combo with sides of Mac and cheese and stuffing. We also got an order of succotash, which was pretty good. Daughter really liked the meal a lot. She said it was tasty. I thought it was pretty good too! Service was pretty friendly and quick. We told the worker of our peanut allergy and she actually went to check and asked the cook whether there were any peanuts. There was a long line by the time we were done with our meal. Will definitely return when in the area to try other items on the menu! read more

It's more like 3.5 stars from my perspective. The pros: smoked turkey leg was surprisingly good the stuffed mushroom side was also good. While the brisket was good, it was a bit on the sweet side. The roll was very ordinary and didn't do justice to a brisket sandwich. The Mac and cheese didn't seem that cheesy... almost seemed like cheese whiz. (Note, I had the Mac and cheese from another Amish market 2 days later and it was far better, more cheesy). read more

Part of Columbus Market and in the Amish market. I never get a chance to try them because of how long the lines usually are especially here. But Black Friday was surprisingly not busy. Possibly cuz either everyone is waking up from a food coma or they are all out trying to save a buck on the Black Friday deals. Either way I'm taking advantage today! So I got the ribs platter with mac and cheese and little potatoes. Wow these ribs are very tasty and not overly coated with sauce. I love sauce but I feel like you don't get the natural taste of the ribs when some places just drench the ribs. The mac and cheese was great, not watery and not dry. Had a nice bite to it. The little potatoes were actually very good. Possibly the greatest little potatoes I've had of recent memory. I hope to be able to order from them more often in the future. Maybe the one benefit of covid is all the takeout/ pickup options and I don't have to wait in long lines anymore. Gotta think of the positive side of 2020. read more

Stoltzfus BBQ - Delicious ribs! - Barbeque Near Me - Columbus, New Jersey

Pro: An awesome lunch option that sticks to your ribs....for cheap! Prior to this, I would have been less-than-enthused to have a cafeteria-style meal nestle in the back of a farmer's market. Alas, the myth is dispelled and a new truth is revealed: Stoltzfus is good food! I elected to try the half roast chicken with green beans and mac/cheese. It filled my stomach and made me sleepy all at once! And for less then $9 for very generous portions, you can't miss! My company not only raved about the ribs, but subsequently got sleepy when the last bone was stripped of meat. Clearly these ribs did their job! Con: The entire farmers market is a "Wed-Sun only" operation, and the Amish folks that run Stolzfus take Sundays off for their holy day of obligation. Respectable on all accounts, but now I crave for it on the off days.... Bottom Line: Simple, cheap, and delicious! I will be back... read more

I walked into this Amish mart to buy lemonade, and walked out with a full belly. My nose drew me to the back where the food is served. The long line is worth it. Ribs are good. I got a whole chicken, all meat came off the bone. I think the "hot" wings are better than the smoked. read more

The open-faced turkey sandwich is outstanding! Quick, friendly service. Try the lemonade, too. *Note* The place gets super crowded at lunchtime on Thursdays, but isn't usually too bad on Friday. read more

Stoltzfus BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Columbus, New Jersey

Really good best brisket I ever had and there sauce is amazing gotta grab some to go.

They have great food. Let's get it straight the food here is not BBQ. They cook all the meats in large rotisseries. However the food is very good the ribs are great as is the chicken. Most of the side dishes are also good. IMO the red potatoes are the best. Give it a try the Amish staff are also very friendly. Ciao- read more

I went here on a Friday around 2pm. There was a line but from what I am hearing from my parents, its significantly shorter than the weekend line. I only had the full rack of baby back ribs and the mashed potatoes. The ribs (with sauce) were a home run! I'll definitely be back to try their other meaty delights. read more

Stoltzfus BBQ - Baby back ribs with sauce - Barbeque Near Me - Columbus, New Jersey

First time I had this barbecue I thought it was awesome. But the last time I went there I was disappointed. Baby back ribs were just average. Chicken was very good. And regular spare ribs were extremely fatty and not fall off the bone like they were the last time. read more

The first time we came to this market the smell was amazing! We followed the smell which led us to a line of more than 75 people! Since we had a time limit we left. So last week we ventured back and waited in line for about 30 minutes. Great ribs - great chicken. Since it was the first time here we made the mistake of not ordering the BBQ sauce. I thought it was cooked with the meats. Now I could still be wrong - it was so crowded and noisy it felt a bit confusing for this first timer. Next time - and there will be a next time - I'll know better! Lemonade was refreshing - not too sweet. The sides - we had macaroni & cheese - baby carrots - mashed potatoes and gravy. These were nothing special which was a little disappointing. It's all about the meat here! read more

Simply put. i have had better. I tried the leg quarter, green beans, and the mac and cheese. The greens were soggy with ok flavor. The mac and cheese was a bit runny. The chicken was also just average. On the positive, it was not very expensive at all. Not the worst I have had, but I'm in no rush to eat here again. read more

The best BBQ in town!!! If you are ever in the area it's a must to check this place out!

OK so I am shocked that I am the first one getting to write a review for this considering every time I go there are like 10 people in line and the tables are full. This place turns out more BBQ in one day then most places will in a month. First, for anyone wondering the location - this is inside the Columbus Market on 206 in Columbus, NJ. Specifically, this is part of the Amish store. Not sure what else you would call it but they have a series of "shoppes within a shop" there. For example - the meat counter, the candy store, the woodworker area, and this one - the Breakfast Counter/BBQ restaurant. Note: very limited hours as I think its just Thursday and Saturday that they are open. Now, don't expect tables with table service. Its wait in line for a while, order from the counter, and get thrown (well, handed very politely) a paper plate by some very friendly folk. Sit down, find a seat, and eat. If you are high maintenance and expecting fine china, this is definitely not the place for you. As for the food, its darn good. Is it the best or top notch restaurant quality? - no. But its good. Haven't had something bad yet. Prices are very reasonable, portion sizes are good - I would say just about everyone likes it. Most people though probably go cause you can spend $8 and get a pretty darn good BBQ meal. If you like BBQ and are nearby and don't mind the atmosphere - give it a try. read more

Very fast and fresh all my food was excellent definitely recommend if in the area. Gonna be back again to try more

The best ribs, chicken and roasted potatoes! Plan on visiting again to try some of the other tantalizing items viewed in the display. Can't wait to return! read more

I dine here every week!!! The line is long but the wait for the BBQ is worth it. Although I love their BBQ, I think it is a little high; their BB ribs are like $8 or $9/pound. I do not like their sides. They are bland but I can make my own at home! The Baby Back ribs is what I am there for!!! Delicious! Finger lickin good BBQ sauce!!! I get extra. I also like there chicken. They have sit in dining but I take mines to go. They sell out quick so I would place an order and pick up. If you come to dine after 3 you are pushing it. They may have some BBQ left for you. If not they have specials on food that is left since they are closing. Enjoy! read more

Been coming here for yrs n yrs! Every part of the amish market is great!!! They r open thurs-sat at 9am-4:30pm. (Open time could be wrong). Along w other things, please make sure to try the smoked turkey legs n lemonade. Also they give away the raw chicken livers n gizzards if u ask. Oh 1 other thing...if u call ur order in, it can b ready in 15mins n u dnt have to wait in those long lines because they can get ridiculous. They will take ur order for the soup n sandwich counter too! I do it all the time n when I walk past the line to get my order, ppl may feel a way but my stomach thanks me. Ps...turkey legs take a while so if u need thm in the early morn, u must call the night before or once they open to get them asap. read more

Great selection of meats and sides. I love the baby back ribs with sauce! So tender and tasty! Fast friendly service even when crowded. There is a reason why there is always a line on Saturdays. Don't be discouraged though the short wait is well worth it! read more

The food is sensational!!!! So fresh, hot and super delicious. I recommend the ribs! I get it without BBQ sauce and my God!!!!!! Banging!!!!! read more

WOW! Great ribs! Chicken is great too. You may have to wait in line but it is worth it. A little pricey, but again, worth it. We buy on saturday and re-heat for Sunday dinner. read more

The food there just okay, but a couple of the workers could use some training on how to be a little more customer friendly. They drop your change in your hands as if you are dirty, and I didn't care much for the attitude of this little young worker when I asked her a question about the numbering system. read more

Discovered this Amish outlet quite by accident while stopping for fruits and veggies at the Columbus Market which is actually located in Springfield. The Amish are here only 3 days, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Stolzfus genuine hickory smoke BBQ have very meaty baby back ribs in a deliciously fruity sauce. The meat is fall off the bone tender. Also dry rub spare ribs, crispy and delicious bacony flavor, even better with sauce all over it. Rotisserie chicken, great flavor, but somewhat overly cooked. Eat it there cafeteia style, and take home by the pound. Very reasonable prices, good side vegetable dishes, fresh lemonade, orange juice, as well as other BBQ items, like smoked turkey drumsticks, sausage. Also in the Amish area: an excellent Bakery with very good donuts, pies, decent bagels, bread and cookies. I asked if they had any sliced bread, and one of the ladies sliced the whole loaf for me by hand. Browse the Deli, Candy aisle, Organic Meats, Arts & Crafts, and Furniture Dept. Go early, skip breakfast and go straight for the BBQ. read more
