• Barbecue • Newark

Vibe BBQ is an inviting and casual, all-day celebration of American comfort classics, putting house-smoked meats at the center of the plate. "I've been in this country for over 30 years, and BBQ has been one of the cuisines that I have loved most. It's a food that is known as classic American, but it's also about the culture, the taste, the feel, and the vibe for me. Eating with hands, eating outside, eating in someone's backyard with family and friends. I'm drawn to the vibe of BBQ, which is where the name comes from. BBQ culture lives here like nowhere else."

The food was wonderful. One of my guests said it was the best piece of fish he ever tasted and the burger was extraordinarily good. Our server and the chefs were very accommodating of our dietary restrictions.

Great bbq. As always excellent service. Fantastic surprise that some dishes from the old Marcus BP are still present (roasted veggies, sprouts, cornbread, crispy chicken)
