• Barbecue • Newark
Vibe BBQ is an inviting and casual, all-day celebration of American comfort classics, putting house-smoked meats at the center of the plate. "I've been in this country for over 30 years, and BBQ has been one of the cuisines that I have loved most. It's a food that is known as classic American, but it's also about the culture, the taste, the feel, and the vibe for me. Eating with hands, eating outside, eating in someone's backyard with family and friends. I'm drawn to the vibe of BBQ, which is where the name comes from. BBQ culture lives here like nowhere else."
