Dunellen BBQ

I’ve now been here three times. My bf has been coming to Dunellen BBQ on and off for 10 yrs. This is a family run Portuguese/Spanish style BBQ restaurant. This place was hopping. The staff is very friendly and they all were working very hard to get everyone’s orders ready. The staff is very nice. I placed my order to go for (2) half orders of BBQ Chicken Combo. A 1/2 order comes with a half a chicken cut up into 4 pieces of bbq chicken, a choice of yellow rice, black or red beans, fries, or salad. They also serve several different types of homemade Empanadas, Yuca, and Fried Bananas. This is not a big place. There are a couple of tables and a few counter seats. I saw in their refrigerator they have ready to go desserts. I added 2 Flans to go with my order. When I got home I was really surp

10/10 would recommend. Unlike some other BBQ Places, this one actually gives you more for your dollar. I ordered 3 beef short rib platters and they load it up so definitely worth it in my opinion. Definitely coming back cause I love the food and the people are soooo nice and helpful my first time there.

We have been ordering from this place for a few years since moving to middlesex area, but recently experienced some problems. For new years we placed a big order and upon arrival for pick up at the time we were told to be there it was pure chaos. We waited for about an hour along with 20 plus people waiting too. Unfortunately the business lacks organization for big orders and events. I wasn’t going to complain about our new years experience, but after this weekend I have to share this review in efforts that management can avoid this from happening again to new customers, we placed a big order for an event this weekend and when we called to inform them they had made an error with our order , and to please just be more careful with future orders the guy on the phone very rudely laughed and t

I eat here SEVERAL times a month. Sometimes a few days a week when I don’t feel like cooking. Every older person that works here is rude as hell. The younger kids are so nice and sweet. Especially Sebastian. I went in there last week Tuesday and the red head lady had a disgusting demeanor. I stopped coming once before because a guy was rude. But that red head lady is the reason I’m never coming back. I even gave her a compliment and her attitude was just nasty. I have discovered Los Antojitos BBQ Middlesex and they are pleasant there and deliver so I will order from there for now on. I will also be telling my friends to follow. The food at Dunellen BBQ is good but the service needs to match. I can spend my money elsewhere. It seems that’s what they want anyway.

It's time to say goodbye. We enjoyed coming here for the chicken and rice but to many frustrating experiences led us to finally go elsewhere. If they are busy and hand you your food, they won't check it, and twice food was missing from the order. On another visit, we were told the order would be ready in 30 minutes; we arrived about 20 minutes later and still had to wait an additional 30 minutes because our food seemed to have been given away. No apologies from anyone. Most recently, we were given beef short ribs instead of the whole chicken we ordered. My wife doesn’t eat beef, and I avoid the beef short ribs from there due to repeated bones in the meat. On one occasion, I cracked a rear lower tooth eating the beef short ribs and had to see a dentist to have it filed down because it w
