1911 Smokehouse BBQ

B L

Really had high hopes from all the positive reviews. Planning a party & wanted to try 1911 bbq as a possible caterer. Visited Saturday 7/9 around 6:15pm. Called in for takeout. The woman who assisted me was super nice. Ordered about $90 worth of food. The little bit of everything (full) with Yams & baked beans. Added pulled pork, seasonal veggies, collard greens, Mac n cheese, & coleslaw. The Good - the Brisket was moist, well cooked and seasoned. The baked beans were a nice surprise, the green pepper really improved the flavor. Collard Greens were also well prepared & flavorful. The chicken was nicely smoked & flavorful (but on the dry side). Pulled pork was decent, but very wet. Yams were ok. Underseasoned & like many items we received looked nothing like pictures others had shared. The Bad - we didn't get the Cole Slaw we ordered. The Ribs were like rubber! Totally inedible. Not sure if they were boiled, left in a steamer to long, or reheated to many times (in a microwave?). Totally wrecked the meal. Mac n cheese was dry and lacked flavor. The seasonal veggies appeared to be steamed, like the mixed steamed in a bag broccoli, carrots, & cauliflower you get at the supermarket. They were sprinkled wth bbq seasoning (same as ribs?). Ended up with a lot of left overs (that we threw away).

Delicious BBQ served in generous portions by a friendly staff. There’s a bar with a TV behind the counter, and a clientele of cheerful regulars. 1911 accepts NJ Transit Rewards. A great place to have a meal and spend an evening.

Most of the food was good but service was incredibly slow. Orders got mixed up and cocktails were watered down. In the past, pick up orders were great.

I've always wanted to try this place. I decided to finally go along with a very close friend from overseas. Both of us agree that the food is absolutely fantastic. Big menu that isn't too large for its own good, yet still a lot of variety. …
