We dropped in around 8PM, tiny place. Needs a little cleaning or updating or both on the inside. Whatever. Ordered a pulled pork sandwich, fries and a soda. Boyfriend ordered 4 ribs, fries, soda, and we both ordered coleslaw. Our bill total was only $ 21 and change. Really cheap, big portions. The fries were real potatoes cut up and fried, which is always a nice surprise, so tired of those bagged frozen fries. Coleslaw was ok, I wish the cabbage and all was cut up into smaller pieces but that’s just my personal preference. My sandwich was good. I actually took the bun off and ate the meat, and was thrilled to find no fat or anything unwanted in it! I know that sounds weird but every time I order pulled pork somewhere I always feel like there’s some gross chunk of fat or something or too much sauce and not enough meat. I felt this was perfect, and the meat was absolutely delicious. My boyfriend also enjoyed his ribs and they were way bigger than I thought they would be. I hope we go back for more, maybe we’ll try to the filipino food next time!

Recently ordered catering from New BBQ Pit and I was very pleased. We ordered half of a whole roasted pig(Lechon), full tray of fried chicken, and a full tray of Lumpia Shanghai. The portions are large and the pricing is very reasonable. Everyone at the party was impressed by the succulant roasted pig. The skin was nice and crispy and the meat was fairly tender. The gravy that it came with complemented it very well. If you know Mama Tomas sauce, it’s like that but homemade and yummier. A friend recommended the fried chicken so we were sure to order that as well. At room temp, it was decent, but once reheated the chicken had a nice crisp and the flavor was more pronounced. A full tray of Lumpia Shanghai contains 100 pieces! That is a giant portion for just around $ 30. There could have been more meat in the roll, but the crowd still liked it. The sweet and sour dipping sauce was also very good and it was probably homemade bc it didn’t taste like it was from a bottle. Overall, had a good experience with New BBQ Pit and will be sure to stop by when I’m in Bergenfield.

This review is based on the service, or lack thereof, and not the food. I’m doing some homework on where to get a whole roasted pig for the holidays and I came across New BBQ Pit on the internet. The reviews seemed okay and the place is about a 10 minute drive from my house. I arrived to the restaurant last night around 7:30pm to order some takeout food for me and my family and the doors were locked — I remember seeing on their website that they close at 9pm. I knocked on the door and this guy comes around from the back of the restaurant and looks at me with apprehension. He unlocked and cracked the door open ever so slightly while maintaining a firm grip on the handle. He said very rudely, «what do you want»? I asked him if he was closed because again it stated the restaurant closes at 9pm. He asked me again what I wanted, and I responded by saying, «I want food but I guess not from here». I’m baffled as to how a small mom & pop restaurant treats their customers. Not only was I about to spend good money that night but was going to be a potential repeat customer by placing a large catering order for the holidays. I’m deeply disappointed with their demeanor and I’ll take my business elsewhere.

Hands Down, Every time i go to eat here, it just reminds me of home in the Philippines. It is just rare to find that tastes exactly from the Philippines, but i am thankful that this restaurant is here, because they have nailed it right!

After having a failure early dinner at Bangkok garden in Hackensack, NJ, my friend and I were eager to experience a truly good rated place to eat. Spending for two dinners at a night, we tried to look for inexpensive place. We went to Bergenfield from Palisades Park and it was pretty close distance. We arrived into their parking lot, without realizing it was just 10 mins before listed close time, 9PM. We walked into this small but clean, cozy place, the owner lady friendly welcomed us. She said since she lives upstairs of the building, it’s okay for us to take our time. We had $ 7 dollar dinner dish for each of us: two BBQ pork skews with garlic rice, and 3 chicken BBQ with garlic rice. Both were very well cooked and soft unlike the dry paper garbage meat we had at Bangkok garden earlier that day. And for less than half of regular soup price, she let us order an half size soup which wasn’t listed on the menu, instead of full size soup. The soup was big enough for both of us and delicious with the silky pork belly inside of it. We had interesting, friendly conversation with the owner lady and headed out. I am glad we were able to end the night with full stomach after horrible experience at Bangkok garden earlier that day. I am definitely coming back to this place for Roasted Pig as the owner lady told us about the weekend sales for small portion.

Delicious and authentic Filipino BBQ joint. Owners are from pampanga region. The Pig roast aka lechon is worth the 60 minute drive. Kare kare is delicious! Peanut butter content was perfect. BBQ sticks both pork and chicken were savory and tangy with the right amount of «ang hang». Dinuguan was perfectly cooked. Could have used the some more chopped up meat; otherwise really good.

We got lumpia shanghai, best one I have had; half bbq chicken, it’s all chopped up for u; pork bbq on the stick is good but too much fat on the meat; pancit palabok, I think the noodle is too mushy but my hubby loves the taste and he would order again. Overall, good food, cheap price, will definitely go back and try other food.

First off, this is Filipino BBQ. Now that being said, order the ribs and enjoy the best damn Asian inspired ribs you’ve ever had and ever will have. No clue about the rest of the menu. Have always ordered the ribs every time I’ve come here and I can’t get myself to try anything else because of how good they are.

solid lechon karrali(pan roasted lechon,) was fatty in the best kind of way, good coconut water here. inexpensive prices. I would recommended it but quite simply I’ve had Filipino food probably 2 or 3 times.

One of the best BBQ places I’ve gone to in Jersey. TOBECLEAR, the BBQ here is not what you would find in a traditional Southern style barbecue place, but rather its filipino style BBQ and cuisine. The BBQ ribs are awesome. I always get them whenever I go there(which is often). They’re served grilled and tender, almost falling off the bone. Also good choices are the sinigang baboy, dinuguon, and sisig. A co-workers parents always go there when they need a whole roasted pig(lechon) for parties. They like this place so much that they drive about an hour from their home to pick it up! It’s always cooked to perfection. I’m not sure what happened to the other commenter on here but I’m sure that their experience was the exception and not the norm.

Small sit-in spot w outdoor seats… I came here for the BBQ, but when I saw kambing(goat) on the menu, I had to give it a try & there were no was freshly cooked, spicy w tomato paste/potatoes…NOTOILY. Delish! Every review talked up their BBQ& I understand completely after trying their BBQ chicken which lived up to the positive comments. For Garlic lovers. their Garlic Rice is must HAVE… .their garlic rice is overpowering compared to any other Filipino restaurant I’ve eaten at. Hands down.Tasty & not greasy!

BBQ ribs done right. This place really only needs one thing on the menu and it’s their ribs. I haven’t tried much else(actually nothing else) because there’s no need. The ribs are all you need and you can get the special that comes with a choice of side. There is a list of sides, but I only get the garlic rice every time. It complements the ribs very well and I am Asian, so i need rice every meal lol. I think the reason why the ribs are so good is because of their homemade sauce. It’s a mix of spicy and sweet and awesome. And you can put some on the rice to make it even better. SOGOOD. Although, it was spicier back a few months, it’s still good. I think they like to mix it up a bit and try new things with their sauce and that’s fine by me. Maybe people said it was too spicy? But that’s the best flavor, imo. If you’re lucky to be in the area, stop by this place and get some ribs!

This place was stop #2 on the lechon tasting circuit, and overall, the food isn’t bad. Between the three of us, we ordered pancit palabok, kare kare, sisig, sinangag, and lechon. Their pancit is quite good, with large chunks of fried, crispy pork in it. Their sisig was also very crispy and flavorful. However, their kare kare left much to be desired(no complexity of flavor, just plain peanut butter) and their lechon was dry, with skin that wasn’t very crunchy. Their lechon sauce is very good though, which makes up for it a bit, but objectively, their lechon isn’t amazing. If I lived nearby, I would probably come for the palabok and the sisig, and probably get a few bottles of the lechon sauce. But this isn’t going to be my lechon place for graduation.

3 stars, 3 stars because of the tasty lechon and chicken bbqs, thats the two things that I recommend ordering from this restaurant. The rest, forget it. I ordered worth of $ 1000 for my party last December including 2 lechons. It was my first time to order from them They offer delivery service, and charge for it. I am in Westchester county. I also ordered different foods from different restaurants to have a good variety, the fact that I also work in a restaurant, and catered so many events in the past. But it was my wedding party on a budget. So I ordered FULL trays of 4 chicken BBQ, 4 Rice, menudo, and more… And I repeated everything to the lady on the phone. I even asked if their portions of the Full tray is the standard Full tray and she said yes. Then I called them several times to confirm and repeat my orders. I also ordered 2 whole roasted pig. Then she gave me the total, $ 960, and I asked her if the tax is included and she said yes, I just have to give a TIP to the delivery man cuz its not included. So, I had the $ 960 cash in an envelope with me on the day of delivery. However, the day of that we are setting up for the party, the delivery guy got lost.(GPS, were in the 21st century). I was on the phone with the delivery guy, frustrated to give directions, while at the same time managing and directing the people who’s decorating for the party(its a big hall and I have 10 people decorating), and talking to the delivery man. So I passed the phone to my dad, who’s with me at the time, and after an hour, finally our food arrived. The party starts at 5 pm and the food arrived. Upon seeing the portions and size of the trays, I almost had a heart attack as well as my dad!!! For some reason, for this restaurant, their FULLTRAYIS standard HALFTRAY! HALFTRAYOFCHIKENBBQ, HALFTRAYOFEVERYTHING!!! OHMYFREAKING… I freaked out! I had to order a delivery to some other local pizza stores, since I am expecting 150 guests and the food is half of what I have expected. Plus my total wasnt $ 960, its $ 1000 something! I dont know if she fully understood, but when someone asks the total, you have to include the tax and delivery fee, what if I didnt have extra cash that day? It was disaster. Anyways, with their food, the chicken BBQ is really good and the whole roasted pigs are nice and crispy. I won’t trust their portions again though.

My parents ordered a whole roast pig for Christmas as we had friends and family coming over for Christmas dinner. They had arranged for a suckling pig to be cooked on the 25th(yes they were open). The price was $ 190 for a 25 lb lechon. I went there at 4 pm, Christmas day to pick it up, and the price suddenly went up to $ 225 for the roast pig(and then there was also tax of course). The excuse for the increase in price was because my parent’s order was«UPGRADED» to a younger pig, supposedly more tender than your regular suckling pig.(As if there are ADULT pigs that weigh between 27 – 30 lbs, our upgraded pig was called«lechon de leche» as if i didn’t know… suckling pigs drink milk… really guys?). Having the need to come home with a roast pig as it was our centerpiece for the dinner, I went ahead and paid the extra 20% increase in price because it was CHRISTMASDAY and no one else was open. The rest of the family arrived, and immediately asked us where we got the pig. After going through their own personal stories of similar price gouging by Barbeque Pit, I wish my parents knew before hand. My other relatives live in Dumont and Bergenfield so they used to go there too. Oh, and the pig was underdone. It started bleeding in the brown cardboard box(it was not a clear liquid, so yes, it was partially raw) that they use as a liner/transport, so we had to make arrangements to make the pork safe to eat once home. It’s Christmas day and we made the best of what we could, but they lost patrons today. Yes, I am writing this right before Christmas dinner because it was not the experience I was expecting from fellow«kababayans» on this special day. ~be prepared for the extra 3% surcharge as well for using the SQUARE app if you’re using a credit card.

I’m glad Im found this place. A co-worker told me about this place when we were talking about lechon and other unhealthy food. We came here after work and it wa very quiet. Seems like they do most of their business on catering. We ate outside because it was a nice day. We got sigsig, ribs, lechon, collar green and garlic rice. The collar green was needed to make it semi healthy. It was a very good meal if your into pork. There is parking in the back. Too bad Bergenfield is not a place is not on my radar.

We found this by doing a search on Unilocal and decided to give it a try. We wanted to sit outside on a beautiful spring day and this place fit the bill. Yes be forewarned that this is not your Famous Daves BBQ but still delicious. We split the chicken & rib meal, $ 9? it was very good but the chicken needed a bit more meat. The ribs were simply amazing. Other reviewers are right, the place needs some TLC and a bit of maintenance and yard work but if you’re in the area stop by.
