Boonton Avenue Grille

[viejo majadero]

Had dinner by chance last night at the Boonton Avenue Grille in Boonton, NJ. I can honestly say I had better food at a stand at Yankee Stadium.

This place pretends to be a "rib Joint". At 7:00PM place was almost empty.

Had baby backs with Ceasar salad starter.

Salad was drenched in commercial dressing, overwhelmed the lettuce.

Ribs were tender but relatively tasteless. I think (just a guess) they boiled them first then put commercial tasting BBQ sauce on it. Fries were greasy soggy. At $13.95 for about 6-7 teeny ribs I felt ripped off also. Have absolutely no reason to ever go back.

Did you at least bring your spiegal beer mugs?

For Ribs, I like Tiffany's in Morris Plains though they have one also in Pine Brook which is closer to your culinary hell in Kinnelon. POP's in Madison is also very good.

There's a place in Mine Hill open only 3 nights a week that serves dry rubbed ribs that's outstanding.

Boonton Grill has changed names a couple of other times in the last few years also.

Yes, it's Hot Rod's BBQ in Mine Hill. Not much atmosphere, but great ribs.
