Don't be put off by thinking your GPS is sending you in the wrong direction, Oink and Moo (the restaurant) is slap in the middle of a residential area. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and its all pretty casual. Got the sliders and ribs and a couple of sides. Although the portions are not large by American standards, the food tasted great. The service was helpful and friendly. There is street parking but be considerate of the neighbours 🙂
Had a GroupOn, which made it better value for money, without that it's a little pricey given the portion sizes.
As a southern girl living in the north, I am hard up for good bbq. As you know or can imagine, there are very few places that serve this deliciousness in these parts. The four stars is for the actual BBQ, the only reason I come. It is really good. Great, no, but good.
The rest of the place is maybe a 3 star if I am being generous.
Service – been here a couple times and it is always "meh."
Location – very odd in the middle of a neighborhood.
Drink selection – I suggest bring your own soda. Never in my life have I seen as few choices at a place. Plain seltzer, cranberry lime seltzer, root beer, diet root beer and birch beer. That's it folks.
Other offerings – Mac and cheese "meh." Tacos – overall pretty good except for the steak which is unnecessarily too spicy. It's about an 8 hotness, could tone it down to a 5 for more enjoyment while eating.
Smokin' in the suburbs: spicy sauce on my pulled pork, spicy coleslaw too, fast friendly service, tables inside and out, reasonable prices too. I'm a fan of the new Oink and Moo bricks-and-mortar location that's tucked away in a dead-quiet Florham-Park neighborhood, too bad it's only open for lunch.
Didn't quite smell the smoke when walking up bcos the smokers are around back, they're using electric ones here and the meat was very much to my liking. Only one bbq sauce here, kind of a ketchup-y, sweetish sauce. No joy when I asked about North Carolina-style vinegar sauce or South Carolina-style mustard sauce tho.
Three pulled-pork tacos were generously dressed with a hot (not sweet) sauce, chopped cabbage plus cilantro on top, 3 for $8 was a great meal, very fairly priced. The meat was smoky, chunks pulled off a big slab, not shredded into dust, perfect.
My dining companion was delighted with her pulled-pork sliders (2 for $8.50 includes coleslaw on the top or side), yet peeved they didn't throw her a handful of potato chips or something on the side. That coleslaw is excellent, chopped a bit coarsely and sauced with a respectably warm red dressing, I loved it.
Vegetarian rating: 2 stars and that's generous. The only entree is a black bean quesadilla; veg sides are mac-and-cheese, corn bread and that spicy coleslaw.
If you ask nicely you can get a personal tour by owner Josh S. of the smokers out back, three silver boxes doing their magic all day and night long, gentle but steady stream of smoke coming out the top. Nice!
My fellow yelper, first o-and-m reviewer Steve A. isn't a fan, I'll have to drag him back sometime for another chance 🙂
Some of the best tacos I've ever eaten were here at Oink&Moo. They have pork, steak and chicken tacos not to mention sliders and ribs. They have a list of sides such as mac and cheese (delicious), greens, sweet potato and cornbread!
This is a Hidden Gem and should be experienced by all lovers of barbecue. Apparently they have a food truck which has been rated one of the best food trucks in New Jersey.
So what are the odds that a Philly kid visits a place in northern NJ that won the Philly bendy awards for rookie truck of the year. This location is in some residential area and got lost trying to find this place with google maps as I was expecting this to be located in a business area.
I was starving and ordered the oink special that has the brisket and pulled pork sliders. Brisket was good, but probably preferred the pulled pork. Sauce was delicious and the Mac was a good side (extra for this, but I feel like this should be part of the meal).
Good spot to grab some BBQ, slider portions are a bit small if you're hungry and need a side to supplement the meal, which gets to be a bit pricier.
Oink and Moo is set in an interesting location among homes in a residential area of Florham Park as others have noted. I found it to be clean and spacious enough inside for a groups of 4 – 6, but a bit warm for my group's taste on one hot summer day when we went; likely because of the open kitchen design and its close proximity to the seating area. However, the latter produced a pretty spectacular aroma that hit us as soon as we entered, and the warmth inside made me think that it's an establishment I'd like to revisit on a cold winter day…
My review is based on 2 visits to Oink and Moo.
I've had their baby back ribs (it's a half of a rack), cornbread, coleslaw and Mac and cheese sides. Ribs were fall off the bone tender and tasty, but around $2 more than one would normally spend for the same. Their cornbread was tasty, but dense and very rich – shared a similar consistency to brownies (not necessarily a criticism). Coleslaw was tasty, with a bit of mustard added to it I believe. Their Mac and cheese is some of the best I've tasted!
Delicious food, nice friendly folks, tho slightly high prices.
The restaurant is a bit hidden and like everyone said, in a very residential area. Plenty of streetside parking.
I got a groupon for 4 entrees and sides and was able to try a variety of things. With groupon, the price was amazing for the quality of food.
1. Got the brisket sliders (2 in an order) $8.95 and it was delicious. The meat was abundant – 2 filled me up. Two sliders topped with the signature slaw and I got the spicy BBQ sauce. I love anything spicy and this brought it up to a different level for me and i don't normally like BBQ sauce. The slaw created a nice contrast and brought freshness to the otherwise oily slider.
2. Skirt Steak $9.95 – Seared steak marinated in their own blend of select spices, topped with cilantro-lime slaw & our house made chimichurri sauce. Probably my least favorite out of the 4 – though still very good. The flavor profile was more subtle in this one. but tortilla was nice and soft. Nice meat to veggie ratio.
3. Baby Back Ribs- $11.95 for 1/3 rack Slow -smoked, dry-rubbed and mopped with spicy BBQ Sauce. OMG – this was so good!! the meat was fall-of-the-bone and enough fat to make it juicy and delicious but not too much to make it too oily. The spicy BBQ sauce totally enhanced it.
4. Trifecta tacos $8.95 – One pulled pork, one chipotle chicken & one skirt steak. I liked the chicken a lot. The pulled pork is ok… but i am not usually a pulled pork person. Below are descriptions from their website.
Pulled Pork – Pork smoked low & slow topped with pineapple BBQ sauce & cilantro-lime slaw
Chipotle Chicken – Marinated in our blend of chipotle peppers & unique spices then grilled to perfection, topped with pickled poblanos & drizzled with our own cilantro lime sour cream
Skirt Steak – Seared steak marinated in our own blend of select spices, topped with cilantro-lime slaw & our house made chimichurri sauce
For the sides, I got collard greens (way too salty and do not recommend), mac & cheese (just ok and quite oily), and classic slaw (this was fresh/crunchy/and not too mayo-ish).
Would definitely go back with groupon. Without it, i'd get the ribs when I am craving some juicy ribs!
Found my way to a residential section of Florham Park that did not seem a place for a,restaurant. However, there's limited traffic and easy street parking. The restaurant was very clean. At 1:30 on a Wednesday there was only one other patron.
I opted for a small sampling just to put my toe in the water.
Brisket slider: the brisket was unimpressive. Pretty dry and lacking flavor. It was a disappointment.
Pulled pork slider: very good. Nice smoke flavor while maintaining moisture. I'd return for a pound of pulled pork on its own.
Chili: decent flavor. Not too spicy. A little too wet. Could really use a little reduction to thicken it and bring it together. This version had me wanting for some crackers, like a soup.
Cornbread:underwhelming. Tasted like it came out of a box. Too sweet and cakey. Needed more chunks of real corn.
Above order, about $14
Happy I tried it out. I'm not rushing to return. A shame. 10 minutes from home, I had high hopes.
