Amazing! I've been going here for years when it was finks! Thankfully with new ownership kept the beloved food and recipes , while also adding new additions to the menu. The drinks were strong and large (mojito pictured). We got spicy garlic parm wings... wow! The wings were smoked (which you could really taste). They were crispy, large, and very fresh. For dinner we shared the half rack of ribs with broccoli sautéed with garlic and onion rings. Ribs were perfectly tender and crispy with a light coating of sauce. The sandwich was a spicy beef brisket with cheese sauce and crispy onions (daily special) and just amazing. Beef was tender and sauce had a subtle kick to it. By far best bbq I've had in Bergen county. If you want good food come here. Lastly, the bar area also has a pool table and cork dart board, they also have live music! Service was also excellent.

Have been back a few times since my first review 9 years ago - tonight was awesome. Our waitress was a real gem, in fact all service was conscientious and attentive, BBQ spot on, sides delicious. So glad they've made a real success out of it, in an area where most traditional barbecue joints seem to have about a 1 - 3 year life span.

PROS: This place was very nice. the food was good, priced well, and the menu variety was plentiful. This place has a bar and restaurant and the atmosphere for both is great. Chris was a great waiter to us as well CONS: The red head bartender was a bit rude to us and the parking is only street parking. Also took a while for the food to come out OVERALL: I'll definitely come back here but just be mindful of who you speak to that works there

Fink's BBQ Joint: Where Meat Meets Wit! Stepping into Fink's BBQ Joint is like entering a carnivore's paradise tucked away in a charming hole in the wall. The trio of pork, brisket, and turkey dances on your taste buds, with each bite telling a savory tale. The sauce, oh the sauce! It's the maestro orchestrating the meaty symphony. This bowl was a saucy delight, leaving me tempted to lick the plate. However, the turkey played hard to get, a tad dry, but fear not - the sauce came to the rescue. Portions here won't break the bank, making it a budget-friendly haven for meat enthusiasts. My taste buds threw a party, and my wallet happily joined in. Now, let's talk pretzels. Creamy, cheesy, and rumored to have a splash of beer - it's like a culinary joke that's no laughing matter. It's so good; you might consider starting a fan club just for the pretzel sauce. For a date night (read: an excuse not to cook), Fink's sets the stage. The ambiance screams low-key romance, and the meaty options provide a perfect distraction from culinary responsibilities. Lesson learned: Stick to one protein. My husband's pork ribs were fall-off-the-bone fantastic, seasoned to perfection. Next time, I'll be the swine queen, ruling over a kingdom of porky delights. In summary, Fink's BBQ Joint delivers on taste, humor, and wallet-friendliness. Just remember, when in doubt, pork it out!

It's been a while, time to update my review! Finks has surprised me lately, enough for me to pay a visit once every two months or more. While I will still never order their wings, they have a number of items ranging from good to great. Great: Cheeseburger (one of the best), Coleslaw (including the empire upgrade), Mashed Potatoes, Chicken & Rib Combo (especially the chicken), Gumbo Special, Pulled Turkey Volcano Special Good: Corn Souffle, Broiled Garlic Shrimp (rice and beans are just alright), Rancher's Sampler (pulled pork is never quite right), Buttermilk Chicken Sliders (need more chicken) I will now officially retract my statement that Finks can't do bbq--they can-- though they still don't stack up among the very best for me. My review is mostly based on takeout, as the dining atmosphere isn't super intriguing. The service, while always friendly, can be inattentive and sloppy at times. But overall, I definitely recommend checking it out. Finks remains a good local spot among dwindling prospects.

Many reviews mentioned that it's "just bar food" which looking at the menu for the first time, it may just be just that, but it is so much better than just bar food. Overall in the barbecue places I've been to around the US- it's a solid 9/10 nationally, but one of the best in Bergen County area. Service is good and attentive. The overall environment is great too- it's your local neighborhood bar and grill with friendly staff. Fink's sauce is sweet and savory. If you're a person that can't have spicy or hot food, you most likely will like it. If you want hot and spicy, they do have those options to and is clearly marked on the menu. If you like chili, they have their regular chili and a special chili of the day that features different meats. It is meaty and has a small portion of rice. The rice is a real nice touch and gives the chili a great texture. It is very filling. The chicken wings are great too- they have your generic flavors along with various special flavors that rotate (similar to the chili). I'm more of a fan for their saucy wings over dry rubs, but they are all juicy. The meat overall is fall off the bone and well seasoned. The one thing that Fink's is missing is a dessert item that would complement the barbecue to hit that sweet tooth after such a great meal.

Second time there and the food was just as good as the first time. I had the 1st cut smoked beef rib! OMG it was delicious. I called ahead and reserved the two ribs for myself and a buddy. We were a party of 5. The food was great and the service was as well. If it's great BBQ you're after this is the spot!

Omg absolutely the best! I liked the sliders with chicken tenders and the ribs were well cooked. Cole slaws on the side and the fries were sooooo freaking good!! It was cajun fries and I couldn't stop eating lol it can be a good late night snack too. Service was great asking for many sauce they were generous about it and the portion was pretty big and they were leftovers! You will love this place!!

The beef rib was absolutely fantastic. The right amount of fat, done to perfection. I ate everything down to the bone. The greens I could have done without but perhaps that's due to unfamiliarity. Wear your loosest fits!
