The Brisket Guy BBQ

Newark, NJ

The Brisket Guy BBQ in Newark is built entirely around one man's passion for the craft — owner Trevon is the pitmaster behind every plate, and you can taste the personal investment in every bite. Slow-smoked brisket, pulled pork, ribs, and chicken are the foundation, but the BBQ bowls and brisket sandwiches have developed their own devoted following. Homemade cornbread rounds out a menu that feels like it was built for people who take BBQ seriously. Open Thursday through Sunday — plan accordingly because the good stuff sells out.
