Pork Chops BBQ Flemington — Restaurant in Raritan Township

Deeelicious hole in the wall totally worth a short detour from 202. We ordered combos that included 1/2 chicken, 1/2 short ribs, 1/2 pork ribs, and Hawaiian bbq pork. Each combo came with 2 sides so we ordered cole slaw, cornbread, fries and plantains. We loveddd all the sides, I love a slightly more sour cole slaw so it was perfect. The plantains were also classic and delicious. Corn bread had actual corn kernels in it and was awesome too!

Of the meats, I enjoyed the Hawaiian bbq the most and the pork ribs 2nd most. Hawaiian bbq is slightly sweet with a real nice char grill flavor. The pork ribs were super tender and fall-off-the-bone. Each of the meats didn’t have too much flavor themselves but dipping in bbq sauce made everything way better. The beef short ribs were nice and thick, I usually like my short ribs with more marinade though (kbbq style) so it wasn’t my favorite but still tasty. The chicken was my least favorite but still solid, it was just a little dry for my taste.

Overall highly recommend this place for some delicious bbq meats - def not your classic all American bbq place slathered I’m sauces but SUPER tasty and...

One of the two BBQ restaurants that are listed when you Google "Flemington BBQ". We visited both, this one the following day. . I didn't realize this was affiliated with the Pork Chops BBQ I went to in Middlesex 3 years ago until we stepped foot inside. Lots of options but sadly wasn't very impressed. We ordered a tray of beef short ribs and chose yellow rice and plantains as the two sides, and a calamari appetizer. For the price we paid, the amount of plantains was quite small, you could barely make one whole plantain if you put the pieces together. Like in the Middlesex location the yellow rice still lacks flavor, was pretty much just butter. Breading on the calamari was practically tasteless too, lacked seasoning.

TL/DR - there's a Portuguese BBQ restaurant right off the Flemington Circle that offers better beef ribs, yellow rice, and calamari. Similar pricing and...

I generally like the food at Pork Chops but after many visits am still disappointed with the pork ribs. They charge you over $32.99 for what the menu says "Full Rack". A full rack of ribs has 12 ribs. Pork chops consistently gives me three or four of the very smallest ribs and the rest are just trimmings that they call ribs. There's actually no rip bone in it. It is horribly chewy and plain cheap. I have actually asked to include more real ribs in my order, but they still insist on only giving me two or three ribs and the rest is called the chine bone. It is typically what is cut off in either thrown away or ground up. The pictures below are the scraps they call "Ribs". It typically makes up about 3/4 of an order. I would not mind getting them if they also gave me the rest of the real ribs that were originally part of the rack. What happened to them?...
