Backyard Bbq - South Plainfield

I had the opportunity to eat at the Backyard BBQ on two occasions while working in the South Plainfield school District. The main person at the register was very nice and attentive. Held a great conversation. More importantly, the food was great the first time. So much so, that I had to go a second time. And the second time did not disappoint. Whenever I’m in the area again, I will be eating lunch and potentially dinner at this restaurant.

This is pretty much a walk-in but the food was excellent last time. When we've had the pork cubes they were dry. The shrimp appetizer is tasty but not worth the money. I know shrimp isnt cheap, but seems overpriced. THe $25 steak is right for the price! In the pic, I'd only cut off about 1/4 of the steak. Two of us ate it for one meal and I cut up the rest and fried it back into the rice as leftovers for three people.

I wish I could give this establishment 0 stars. I ordered take out and SPECIFICALLY requested ketchup and BBQ sauce which should have been provided. I'm appalled that a meal with fries ketchup is not offered along with the bbq sauce. They both were not in the bag. I called to let them know instead of an apology this backward a woman proceeded to argue with me that no one asked and why would she not put in the bag if it was requested. Poor service and the food was mediocre at best. It's the responsibility of a restaurant to make sure the customer has what they need and if they didn't receive it an apology should be offered. The woman answering the phone lack customer service skills and decorum. And to make matters worse they didn't pack napkins or cutlery. SMH
