I definitely would return and highly recommend to others! I was in the mood for pancakes and French toast but also wanted bacon! Holy crow, they had an entree that gave the best of all worlds on what seemed to be a limited menu due to the short staff and pandemic! I’ve never seen any place offer a meal with French toast and pancakes before! It was amazing! I asked for extra crispy bacon and it was cooked to perfection! Just the way I like it! The 3 employees that were serving guests, playing host and taking orders teamed up and made it work! One seated you, another took and delivered drink order and another took your order and the one who seated you delivered your order! One looked like the owner or manager and if so, huge Kudos to you for stepping in and making it all work!įood was reasonable for the portion size and delicious! The challah French toast was absolutely delicious! Team work makes the dream work! Restaurant was very short staffed and honestly, service wise, you would have no idea if your eyes were closed. This is a strong option in an area that doesn't have a lot of (if any) BBQ establishments, and you can't go wrong with decor featuring a Sir Mixalot homage (see attached). The price point may seem a little high on its face, but I think there should be an expectation with BBQ that you're going to pay a little more for the prep work. ![]() I'm willing to acknowledge that some of the taste/moistness may have been lost in transport, so I'd still give that a shot again the next time I dine in. I remember coming here for lunch in the past and being blown away by the sweet moistness of the cornbread but this was on the drier side and a little tasteless (which I feel is always the knock on cornbread). The cornbread was okay, and that in and of itself was a little disappointing. So I sprung for it but I don't know that I would do it again. I definitely recall being here pre-COVID and having it as a side for a few extra dollars. It was a LITTLE dry, and I wasn't crazy about the fact that you didn't have it available as a cheaper, smaller side option. The mac and cheese was really good (it reminded me of Ikea mac and cheese, which is definitely not an insult), though I wouldn't say great. It's the one part of the menu they need to be able to hit out of the park, and they do. In my experience with pulled pork, you often have a few bites of charred edges that are close to inedible or a few random super fatty portions that look like they'll cut your life expectancy down a few months if you ingest them, but everything BBQ-wise was great, as it should be with this genre of food. ![]() The pulled pork was excellent - it's tender, juicy and scrumptious. I ordered the pulled pork ($13), a pint of mac and cheese (I think $8 or $9) and a piece of cornbread (around $1.50). ![]() I'd say the food came out in about seven or eight minutes - very quick. The girl at the front was very nice and helpful, directing me to the online menu nearby, and processed my order immediately upon receipt. This place is casual enough where I definitely could have just gotten dine-in (with this type of food, your wait time is pretty low) but opted for pickup instead. Their weekend hours are as convenient as the location - they open at noon (honestly, when is the last time you had a 10AM BBQ hankering?) and close at 8PM, perfect for a post-hike meal. ![]() I came by to pick up some sustenance this past Sunday afternoon after a gloomy, muddy hike at Lord Stirling Park a few minutes down the road. I've stopped by Minuteman a few times over the years due to its super convenient location - if you're hiking in the Basking Ridge or Jockey Hollow area, this isn't far out of the way at all and is just a minute or two off 287.
