Bassett’s Original Memphis BBQ

The Texas Tornado Sandwich is the bomb!!!

i found this establishment via my gps. i wish it had lost it. it appeared to me the establishment is having financial problems in that their fountain soda dispenser wasn’t working and their bottle refrigerator had only 2 water bottles in it. nonetheless i was hungry and they had a featured item of a slab of ribs and 2 sides included at no additional charge. i asked the counter person if he suggested the babybacks or regular ribs. he said the babybacks were fall off the bone tender so i went with them. they had a nice sauce and had been heated nicely on a grill. the meat was tough and tasted like it had been par boiled too long and in my opinion ribs should never be boiled. if they were smoked i couldn’t tell as there was no ring nor smoke taste. the mac and cheese side was the best item i had. their beans were nothing i would bring home. all in all since they claim to be memphis style, i think memphis should sue for libel.

Really worth a trip. BBQ is tough to come by in southern NJ… but this is a good, fast, and delicious option

The best pulled pork I have had in the area, though there aren’t many options. Very good cole slaw, excellent bbq sauce (try the hot one). Corn bread wasn’t bad. Friendly service every time I go in. I wish I lived close enough for them to deliver. Try the tornado sandwich, pulled pork, chicken and brisket, with onions and slaw all on the sandwich.

Again a good meal!!! I have yet to be disappointed here!

Closed. The food was great when they were open.
