• 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."

Took mom for her birthday dinner and she loved everything. From salad course to entree to the noise level, she was impressed. Raved about the food. Bacon wrapped scallops were very good and the fish soup with shrimp and clams were my personal favorites. Mom had carrot cake for dessert and loved it too! Come here for an intimate setting. Good date spot after an event in downtown Newark.
