Loaded Burgers-n-bbq - Garwood

We loved this place when we first visited years ago, and even with the new management, it’s still just as fantastic. One of the great things is the larger space, which allows for more seating and a refreshed decor. It’s an excellent spot to relax and enjoy a meal if you have the time. We ordered Buffalo fries, which were delicious—crispy with a topping of cheese and Buffalo sauce. The burgers were outstanding, and both boys enjoyed theirs thoroughly. My only disappointment was with the brisket sandwich; the brisket itself could have been better. I was informed that it was freshly made, and while I felt compelled to order it, I had hoped it would be much more tender.

Our family dined here a few years ago, and we were thrilled to return this month to find a significant transformation. The new interior design and layout are fantastic, and we really appreciate the relaxed bar atmosphere as soon as you walk in. The flavors and tastes remain just as wonderful, which is definitely a plus. The portions are generous and delicious—truly the best burgers around in Union County. I opted for their Bonzo burger and swapped the chickpea patty for turkey. More protein, less guilt!

My boyfriend and I were craving a great burger, so we searched on Google and discovered this place. We traveled from Staten Island and were not disappointed! The food was incredible—from the milkshake to the fried pickles, and the burger was simply outstanding. It was definitely worth the trip across the bridge. Without a doubt, these are the best burgers in New Jersey. I highly recommend it—10/10!

No frills BBQ, burgers, hotdogs, fries. I like the simplicity of the place and the food was fantastic. The grill master took pride in his art and it didn 't go unnoticed. I saw the energy he put into making sure everything was cooked perfectly.... it was refreshing. Now with that said, even though it is a walk up counter and no wait service... I didn 't feel exactly welcome. The guy that rang us up ... I couldn 't help but feel like I was bothering him when we ordered. Listen I know where I 'm walking into... I 'm not expecting the red carpet rolled out (lol) but a smile goes a long way and him as well as the chef were very straight faced and cool. I also asked him if I can have cheese on my fries and the response he gave me was no...we don 't really do that here ... but then later looking at other patrons reviews they did some brisket, gravy cheese fries? Not sure why he didn 't wanna charge me a few bucks more to put some cheddar on mine. I will be back when I want bbq and ONLY because the food was good, and the quality was good... farm raised, no antibiotic grass fed ALL THAT. There is no place in the area that tops the quality they are offering. I just don 't think it will hurt them to turn off the do not disturb and turn on the thank you come again

I'm a longtime follower of the Loaded story. Been a Facebook follower forever, remember the old location and have kept up with news. Yet, I never visited until just the other day. Three and half years of talking about going. Lame but true. And now that I have gone, I doubt I will be back. My son and I stopped in the other day. We ordered up front from a gentleman who barely said a word. We took a seat in a greasy, hole in a wall type seating area and waited. I ordered a rare burger with caramelized onions and pulled pork fries. My son ordered chicken fingers and fries. Food was ready quickly. My burger was medium and had very little taste. The onions were cold. Uproot in Warren serves a superior burger. My pulled pork fries were good and made better by the excellent bbq sauce available up front. My son's chicken was good but my son's fries were overloaded with salt. Looked like a snowstorm had hit the fries. He likes a lot of salt but he'll learn. We ate quickly, paid our bill up front. The employee ringing me up chose to chat on the phone instead of thanking us for coming by. Not cool in my book. Another spot ticked off the list. Next..
