The worst food and portion sizes I’ve had in a very long time. The ribs had zero meat on them. I’m not exaggerating. They sold me bones. The salads had about 4-5 leaves each. I paid over $60 and I honestly feel scammed.

They charge near $30 for 1 steak salmon with 2 small sides. They’re misleading saying that the salmon is a “whole” salmon when it’s only 1 piece. You’re better off going to Burnett BBQ especially the one located in Irvington NJ if you want a larger portion and get your moneys worth. Otherwise Elmora BBQ salmon tastes just ok. But absolutely in no way, worth near $30 for 1 steak salmon.

Once I called for the 1st time and was hung up on immediately after I spoke in ENGLISH; I should have taken that as a RED FLAG! But I really wanted to taste some BBQ. This was my 1st and last time ordering here!!!! I couldn't chew the steak, beef and pork ribs. Unrecognizable. It was TOUGH. It was burnt. The only thing good was the rice and shrimp. The fries were also burnt. I really wanted some BBQ, so I ordered here for the 1st time. Sadly I will never ever again purchase here. I also asked the manager to put sauce and utensils in the bag. That didn't happen. For $70.00 + Tax, I should have had sauces in the bag; example: ketchup for the fries, BBQ sauce for the ribs, maybe hot sauce but THERE WAS NONE! I wish I could receive a refund because my order was not good. Nothing was eaten because everything was burnt or either overcooked. Even the chicken was super dry. SUPER DISSAPPOINTED. ALSO, You should have somebody answering the phone who speaks ENGLISH FOR THOSE CUSTOMERS!!!! ITS PRETTY RUDE TO HANG UP ON A PERSON TRYING TO ORDER, just because you didn't understand the language.

I really liked this place it was to small to eat in so we took our food to the local park but then realized their wasn't no forks or spoons to eat it so remember to check you bag other then that this place was amazing your nose will lead you to the front door just off of smell you kno going to be good. I had the ribs and red snapper, which didn't disappoint it was my first time eating that fish and It was amazing. This place is definitely worth a visit! Enjoy
