I’m so impressed with this place I’m giving it a second thread as what I think is one of the best deals in Monmouth County. (Add your own values to this thread)
Local Smoke BBQ - Red Bank NJ. I got take out from here tonight, I ordered the same as last time I ate here, The Pig Out $21.00. I got a half chicken - 1/4 lbs of chopped beef brisket and a 1/4(?)* rack of ribs as well as 2 - 1/4lbs container of sides. (Baked beans and cole slaw). This is honestly enough for two people, I had a bit of a struggle finishing it this time.
Regardless for $21. the amount of and quality of the food makes this one of the best buys I know of in Monmouth County!
Share yours!!
*( I’m not sure how many constitute a 1/4 rack but this had 5 nice sized meaty ribs)
For the same money I get a half kilo of al pastor meat from the International Mexican Grocery right up the road from Local Smoke. They give me tortillas, fixins, and salsa ( I love the yellow one ) as well and we have tacos for the family dinner as well as enough left for chilaquilles the next morning.
I’ll chime in with Mogo’s tacos (Asbury Park)…for $4, you get a fresh, FLAVORFUL taco; for me a pair of them is a good lunch on a Saturday afternoon. At the brick and mortar location on Cookman Ave, there’s also a kimchi/condiments bar and I love the pickled cucumbers.
Beach Tavern in Monmouth beach: fried shrimp at happy hour for 8 bucks. Perfectly crispy shrimp, decent size, great fries, multi million dollar newly renovated building and million dollar view, ample parking, classy crowd, good service. etc You can’t even get a damn mcdonalds meal for 8 bucks. shhh, dont tell anyone else
Ohhhhh…my bad. In the “preview” in your post it just shows the plate with the french fries. I see now, thank you. You should know by now I ain’t too bright.
