The BBQ world was centered in Wildwood, New Jersey this weekend at the Anglesea Blues Festival held in conjunction with the 2022 New Jersey State Barbecue Championship a Kansas City Barbecue Society event. The top slots went to Grand Champion: Chunky BBQ and Reserve Champion: Uncle Pig’s Barbeque Pit this year. It has been a joy seeing BBQ grow in and around the Philadelphia/South Jersey region over the years.
Did you know though that you can procure some decent BBQ options in Camden, New Jersey? This may come surprisingly as Blowin’ Smoque is obviously overshadowed by their neighbors James Beard Award Winning fried chicken restaurant Corinne’s Place and iconic celebrity cheesesteak hot spot Donkey’s Place. With competition like that it still doesn’t mean they aren’t worth a visit. This tiny stretch of Haddon Ave is becoming a worthy foodie’s destination for any type of cuisine.
R’Lay Wilkerson a Rutgers School of Business—Camden alumnus has made it easy to order online for pickup or through many of the popular delivery services. What should you order? Well I had the brisket, ribs, mac and cheese, collard greens, and lemonade. The ribs were certainly the highlight accompanied by the mac and cheese and washed down nicely with the lemonade. I had a sample of the yams, and regret that I didn’t order that as one of my sides. The yams were great! Is this competition style BBQ? Absolutely not, but no restaurant is putting out that type of food. What they are putting out is good value for the quality of product they are serving and friendly service that will go above and beyond to make sure you are happy. You really can’t ask for more than that. If you haven’t heard of them or given them a try for yourself you really should. Who knows, just maybe they might win the New Jersey State Barbecue Championship one day 😉

Really enjoyed the vibe here and the food most importantly was really good. The Hen wings were crispy on the outside, yet juicy and meaty with great flavor. The Mi bo kho Braised beef stew with egg noodles, cubed shank, flank, tendon and carrots was spot on delicious. The prices were very reasonable as well. Great spot to try for yourself.

Sometimes you want to have a meal with friends and family for an special event or holiday, but don’t feel like cooking or dining out. Well Bistro di Marino has a take-out menu to make it as easy as 1-2-3. Everything we had was good and the value was very reasonable for the size of the portions and quality of food. Ordered was Antipasto Marino Freddo, Pollo Saltimbocca, and Orecchietti con Broccoli Rabe. Would definitely order from them again and if you haven’t tried them you should.

This place is a chain that seems to expanding into the South Jersey region. I had their chicken parm sandwich. No surprises here and pretty basic overall. The prices are reasonable and service was very quick. What has your experience been here?

A sweet treat can always make any day better. Well this location is a great spot for anyone looking for happiness. Lots of choices to enjoy with a really nice atmosphere and cool vibe. This business was a joy to visit. I liked the marble cupcake as it was moist, flavorful, and the icing was delicious. Will certainly give some of their other baked goods a chance next time around the area. They have ice cream too! You should give them a try for yourself.

This place is a little bit of everything for everyone. They are a mixture of Caribbean, BBQ, Spanish, and Southern styles. For their location, they are certainly unique and a welcome addition to the culinary scene. The food was better than average, but the highlight was the service was top notch and the retail area of the restaurant is really cool with some interesting foodie items available for purchase. I had the rib platter with mac and cheese and fries, and the jerk chicken platter with Spanish rice and sweet fried plantains. I will be interested to see how they evolve and grow. If you’re around the area they are a good choice to try something different than the ordinary or normal around there.

A few years ago it would have been a struggle to think of anywhere serving Detroit style pizza. Now it seems they are popping up left and right. Even with many options of places being available now, not all are equal. Let me tell you that Polizzi’s Brick Oven has a really nice pie called the ‘313’ and the zucchini sticks are delicious as well. For the pizza, the dough is fluffy exactly what you are looking for and the cheese is crispy on the side just like it should be. If you’re a fan of this style or just looking for something a little different and good you should give them a try.

What a fun place to find when driving down Laurel Rd. The service was amazing and the chocolate and blue raspberry gelati hit the spot. If you’re in the area they are a great place to treat yourself.

Charlie Brown’s Fresh Grill and Steakhouse – Woodbury, NJ
#SmallBitesRadio has been named #14 Top Hospitality Shows on the Planet for 2020, 2021, and 2022, #Bluejeanfood.com being named #18 Top Philadelphia Lifestyle Blogs, Websites & Influencers of 2021 and 2022, and being nominated as #MetroPhilly Newspaper 2022 Best of Philly Arts & Entertainment.
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. That’s the old saying and it holds true at Charlie Brown’s. A few updates here and there, but the standards are what you remember and the food is the same and great as it ever was. Very affordable prices for what you receive. The Queen cut prime rib was very meaty and tender, French Onion soup hit the spot, green beans crisp, and the sauteed mushrooms and onions were plentiful. The only minus is my distaste for those breaded french fries. No respectable place should serve them in my opinion. Other than that I think if you were a fan of the old Charlie Brown’s you also enjoy the new and improved Charlie Brown’s Fresh Grill and Steakhouse.
