Happened to be driving back to ocean city and saw the smokers running off the side of the road. Decided it was worth a trip.
They have so many options of meats and sides.
It is cash only, but they do have an atm.
The staff was extremely friendly.
Inside or outside seating.
It is a BYOB.
They do take out.
I would recommend .

Back Bay Barbeque is a small, family owned barbeque business that offers homemade barbeque and sides is a cozy and welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff. This place is located right off Longpoint Somers Point Boulevard in Somers Point, New Jersey. They have a colorful backyard with outdoor seating and an air conditioned inside with plenty of room for big party’s playing country music that fits the bbq mood. The food was okay and drinks could have been better but a big thing that this place has going for them is that you can bring your own booze! They don’t have their liquor license here but that doesn’t let them stop you from drinking if you want to bring your own. I would recommend coming here but maybe stray away from a few things that I mention below.
My wife and I split the BBQ sampler plate which included pulled pork, sliced beef brisket, white or dark meat chicken (we got dark), and three ribs. The portions here are generous and for $22 for the plate we defy felt like we got our money’s worth. They even gave us an extra rib so we got four instead of three. Not sure if that was on purpose or what, but was appreciated nonetheless. We also got Mac and cheese, baked beans, onion rings, and potato salad as sides and lemonade as a drink.
To start with the good, the pulled pork and the chicken were my favorite. The pork was swimming in sauce and juices and was very flavorful. The chicken was not dry and had good flavor as well. The ribs were good and you can pull the bone right off the meat which is always a good sign. The baked beans were good and came with a lot as a side so there was plenty to share. I also really like their onion rings as it’s my style with a light but crispy breading and thin onion. I really liked their cornbread as it had a nice sweetness to it and was a nice size. Their barbeque sauce that they have was tasty and complemented the food well. They even have a spicy bbq that they offer and it burned my mouth but not terribly so that’s a win for me.
Now the bad, although the pork was my favorite, there were some pieces in there that were hard and very chewy. Not much of it was like that but it was still in there. The brisket was sliced a bit think and was a bit tough and chewy. I feel as though it might have been overcooked. There were some thin, tender slices but more of the thick tough stuff. The Mac and cheese had good flavor but was dry and wasn’t “cheesy” like it said in the menu. Mac and cheese should have a sauce but it seems as though we got served Mac that was made days ago and the sauce soaked into the noodles and the cheese was slightly congealed. Definitely not fresh. The potato salad was okay but also didn’t taste fresh and was dry as well for potato salad. It could have used some salt and more mayo. Also, my lemonade was on the sour side. It could have used more sugar to cut the acidity and tartness that it had. And lastly, I had asked for sweet tea but they didn’t have any??? What bbq place doesn’t serve sweet tea?! That’s a staple with bbq!
Overall, if you pick the right things and maybe go there on a weekend when it’s busy you might have some luck here with the food. It’s not the best but not the worst bbq Ive had and the friendly service and portions definitely make up for their lack of card towards their food. In the end, people come back for the food so I would step it up a notch Back Bay Barbeque.

This place has lots of potential but it’s not there yet. I was greeted by a lovely white dog that hangs out on the premises but found service un-accommodating once I realized there was no where to sit and eat once you order a take out. Realizing I made a mistake I wasn’t given a choice to reorder sitting at a table and the staff kept packing my bag to go without giving me any options. Kind of unwelcoming. Half the ribs were dry and tough, the cheesy Mac n cheese is pathetic, small ear pasta doused in butter is what it looked and tasted like (do not get it), the cornbread was disappointing and crumby like sand, fell apart in my hands, but the beens were good. I noticed their brisket sits in liquid and I personally like the drier and more roasted taste to it so glad I didn’t order that.
Portions are decent, the sides were big. All in all, not sure if I’d come back here. But who knows, maybe their chicken and pulled pork is great here.. CASH ONLY!

I tried to eat slowly….. but that FOOD!!!!
This is some of the best BBQ I’ve had in a long time! They’re smoking it right outside the patio and the smell is enchanting. The spices are just right. I had the pulled pork sandwich and my love had the jerk chicken. Each one was pulled high with meat and that’s unbelievable considering the price, which is very reasonable. We’re camping here through harvest hosts and had the sample yesterday with a side of Mac and Cheese and potato salad.
Today our sides were coleslaw which was super fresh and crispy, and the cowboy beans which had just the right smoky flavor.
I will be back for more, for sure! They’re also dog friendly here and are super nice people!

The quality of the food has changed in the past year or so, not sure if it’s under new management but we ordered a large tray of BBQ chicken for the family and it was not good at all, it dry and way to burnt for my taste. The corn on the cob is good, shrimp skewers are good, but I’d avoid the chicken.
Great BBQ chicken , Shrimp skewers , corn on Cob , slaw. Great for take out or stay and enjoy outdoor dining. And best of all, your pup is welcome.

If Back Bay Barbecue is not an essential stop for your shore vacation YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG. Lamenting the years we could have been coming here after dining tonight. AMAZING BBQ. Huge portions and exceptional value. Witty and attentive waitstaff. Unmatched back bay vibe. Don’t miss this.

5 Stars all around! Probably the best melt in your mouth, perfectly smoked pastrami I ever had. The onion rings will ruin you, as in you won’t want to get them anywhere else once you have these crispy, non greasy rings of delight. On point pulled pork and fresh, ice cold iced tea. Bonus, the wait staff, I’m talking about you Hannah, were friendly, informative and attentive. The big man, master BBQer and all around wizard of the smoker himself stopped by our table to say hi. You should go.

Terrible dry unflavored BBQ. This place changed.
Great location by the bay, but that’s about it.
Dry blackened chicken sandwich. Dried out flavorless “bbq” chicken. Sides were sub par at best.
Waste of $30.

We went tonight. Food and service was great. We had brisket, pulled pork,tuna, ribs, shrimp skewers, pastrami, cowboy beans, Mac and cheese and onion rings. Everything was cooked to perfection. My Mom who is 93 was thrilled to see Mavericks who is a beautiful yellow lab. We’ve been several times and never disappointed. The owner talked to us several times. We will definitely be back
