Amazing bbq! The brisket was tender and full of flavor, and the bbq sauce was incredible. The Mac and cheese had a delicious garlicky kick. Def one of the best food trucks I’ve had.

Food is absolutely delicious and the guys running the truck were so friendly! In addition to buying lunch, I bought a whole family meal to bring home to my husband and kids to also enjoy! We look forward to having them again at our offices!.... if you love BBQ, don't miss out on this amazing food truck!

Michael's Backyard BBQ visited my job this past Friday. Me and my cousin split the Taste of Texas (definitely shareable) with **extra BBQ sauce (so damn good). I will say it was DELICIOUS and a great way to start off Memorial Day Weekend!! Excited for them to be back this week and definitely ordering enough to bring home for the weekend :)

Absolutely incredible BBQ truck! Everything we ordered was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The pulled pork was tender and smoky, the wagyu burgers were juicy and rich, and the smoked chicken was some of the best we’ve had. The sides were just as impressive — the mac and cheese was creamy and cheesy, the cornbread was soft with the perfect touch of sweetness, and the corn on the cob was fresh and delicious. You can tell they put real care into every dish. Friendly service, amazing food, and huge portions. Easily a 5-star experience — we’ll definitely be using them again!

This is such a Delicious, authentic, saucy BBQ food truck! Friendly team and great selection of food. We had the bbq chicken, bbq beef pieces, Mac and cheese, Cole slaw, and corn bread. Everything was top notch! They are from Jersey city but can be found throughout nearby neighborhoods:)
