Fire Pit BBQ

Definitely a good spot. The chicken cutlets are awesome with fries. Very recommended.

We have been ordering from the Fire Pit in Hackensack for the past year and never had such a poor experience. I placed an order for two trays of a full chicken at 10:57am and recieved it at 12:02pm. Upon opening the bag, they did not even include any special bbq sauces, which we all look forward to. When I called to let them know they forgot to bring the sauces, they told me I had to specifically ask for it and would not offer to bring it to us. We are a business that orders for each employee's birthday and are located across the street from Fire Pit BBQ in Hackensack. Never once have we asked for sauce and we have always gotten it with our orders. I live in Newark where there are multiple Portuguese style BBQ restaurants and you will never have to ask for any items as such; they are always included. Poor business techniques for long time customers. Left a 20% tip as well.

The Fire Pit serves Portuguese style BBQ, which is very different from the American BBQ style (please keep this in mind before ordering). They do provide BBQ sauce on the side. Just ask.

I have ordered from Pit about three 4 times and the experience has always been good.

Pros:
Very tasty, lean/healthy meal, great price for the quality and quantity, they deliver, a block away from Hackensack Hospital.

Cons:
Small parking area.

Jesus, what a disappointment. This isn't BBQ. BBQ is tough meats hardwood grilled over low heat for hours. You can't cook BBQ to order. You cook it 12 hours ago and pray that you have enough customers when you're finished. If you did it right you will. This is meat that's been heated up on a grill, badly. You can do this on your stove top and it wouldn't be much different. Tossed it. Avoid.

I love Fire Pit! The food is always on point and they give you great portions. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because I've called at least twice in the past and they had absolutely no food left. But does go to show you that they are great at BBQ.
