Market Barbecue

This is my chicken place in Newark. the chicken here is nearly as good as the churrasqueiras back in portugal. Like a previous comment, I can overlook the fries which are still good when you pop them in the oven for a few minutes, it’s more of a result that they package the chicken, rice and fries together. Still, for less than $ 20.00 you get an entire great tasting bird, rice, fresh salad and fries. Perfect meal

There is a battle of the rotisserie chicken places in this area and, while we haven’t tried all of these joints yet, Market BBQ seems to be better than the 3 we have tried so far (Ferry St BBQ, McWhorters, Elm St BBQ).
Their chicken is never dry and has a nice smoky, lightly charred flavor to it. Their rice is seasoned well and their black beans are always on point. Their fries are always soggy and sometimes bland but I can easily overlook that as everything else is consistently good.
Their salad is simple, greens, onions and tomatoes w/​olive oil & vinegar, but it is always fresh and is a good way to cut through the chicken grease you will be covered in.
We pick up there regularly and the ladies there are always nice.
So glad to have this place near me.

Decent BBQ place that gets my money because they are one of the few BBQ places in Newark that will DELIVER. There is a $ 2 delivery fee, but that’s absolutely fine with me.
Half a rack of ribs and half a chicken with rice and fries for $ 15? Yes, please!
The fries are unsalted and soggy (they deliver it in a metal tray with a metal lib, what do you expect?) but are good if you take the time to heat them up again in the oven/​in a pan and sprinkle some salt on yourself. The chicken is pretty flavorful and has the nice flavor of smokiness without actually being charred. The ribs are alright — they’ll do if you have a craving — but they’re probably not as moist as they could be.
Pickled veggies included. You can also opt for salad instead of the rice or fries (but why would you?).
They do take credit cards, including Amex.

Good food for late night.
But not the greatest Newark has to offer.
