The bartender Maggie was great , had a creamy espresso martini We tried the brisket eggrolls as an appetizer which were different but fabulous! We had salmon w Brussels sprouts & mashed potatoes for our meal , the salmon was cooked perfectly, the Brussels sprouts were amazing !! Will definitely be back !!

Local’s spot dishing out real smoked ribs, wings and brisket. We ordered the wings, jalapeno poppers (not what they’re called on the menu but they are POPPING!) and the ribs. The Young lady working the dining room was courteous, helpful but not overly so. The ribs were smoked to perfection and the wings were smoked, but not rubbery skinned, and crispy outside with juicy inside. Sauce not needed because the bark spoke for itself…same with ribs. Sauce comes on the side so you know they aren’t hiding the food by overly saucing it up. Definitely returning….I wasn’t impressed by the sides …baked beans were ok.. coleslaw cornbread same. The jalapenos with smoked brisket, cream cheese and wrapped in bacon….slap somebody good gawd! No pics of poppers….they like that but photos of the rest. Worth the trip, thanks for adding respect to the south Jersey BBQ scene.

100% no BS review. Ok..where to start? Service. Service in the area has been…spotty unfortunately, BUT here it was excellent. No sooner was my drink empty than our waitress was coming around to ask for seconds. Fantastic. Some of the other establishments in the area could take some notes. Next is ambiance. We assumed it’d be crazy loud with someone’s playlist but to be honest it was great. I could hear everyone at our table. Next, food… holy crap. I’d heard a lot about the wings and we tried both the Asian and the buffalo…I def prefer the buffalo but WOW on both counts. They are smoked but crispy and saucy. Sometimes smoked means rubbery but in this case it was amazing. I will go back just for this wings. My brisket Philly was also absolutely amazing! Cheesy, bbq-y, and delicious. Then the drinks!! The jalapeno margarita was amazing. I got it with a tajin rim and loved it. We all shared bites of all that was ordered and I have to say this place is fantastic – nothing was served anything short of delicious and as a fairly picky person who has worked in the service industry I highly recommend. Very much impressed and hoping they keep it up!!!

The waitress Eli was awesome. Attentive, informative she was really great. We sat outside. That area was nicely setup. We ordered the steamed clams, texas twinkies along with everything but the pit. Great bbq food, great value. I would recommend this place absolutely. The drinks were spot on. It’s a hour away for us but we will definitely make another trip. Almost forgot about Freddy’s loaded fries. Really good.

I stopped by Freddy J’s in Mays Landing with my coworkers for happy hour last Thursday, and it ended up being a great experience all around. We went specifically for the Yuengs and wings, and they did not disappoint.
We ordered the wings with their hot honey garlic sauce, which came highly recommended by one of my coworkers—and for good reason. The flavor really stood out: sweet, savory, and just the right amount of heat. They were delicious and definitely something I’d order again. One of my coworkers also ordered an espresso martini from the happy hour menu, and after trying a sip, I can confidently say it was excellent—smooth, flavorful, and surprisingly good for a happy hour cocktail.
The only minor downside was that a couple of the wings were slightly pink. They weren’t raw and were still fully edible and tasty, but it’s worth mentioning. It didn’t take away much from the overall experience.
The service was friendly and attentive without ever feeling rushed, which made it easy to relax and enjoy ourselves. We dined in, and the atmosphere was very clean with a small, local bar vibe. Even with bingo going on, the noise level stayed moderate and conversation was easy.
Prices felt very fair for the quality, especially during happy hour. Overall, this was a solid visit, and I would definitely go back and highly recommend Freddy J’s to others looking for good wings, drinks, and a comfortable local spot.

My husband and I were running errands last night and decided to try something new. After a quick Google search, we came across Freddy J’s — about 30 minutes from home — and the menu looked too good not to check out. Eclectic, creative, and full of unique twists on classic dishes, it immediately caught our attention.
From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the girls behind the bar and everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere felt relaxed and inviting right away.
We started with the French onion soup — and as self-proclaimed French onion soup connoisseurs, we can confidently say this was one of the best we’ve had.
The smoked wings were absolutely out of this world.
For our meals, my husband ordered the turkey BLT, which was absolutely delicious, and I had the chicken Caesar wrap, which was equally as good. The only small note I’d make is that the menu describes the chicken as “homemade tenders,” and the chicken in the wrap was more of a pulled style rather than crispy — but even so, it was still very flavorful and enjoyable.
Overall, we were extremely impressed and will definitely be back. Freddy J’s is absolutely worth the drive. Highly recommend!

My first time here and I truly enjoyed my meal. The wings were good you can really taste to smokiness and the Bourbon sauce was very good. I also had the pull pork cheesesteak and oh wow very tender and flavorful. The atmosphere was laid back cool music and our waiter RENE was very sweet and kind. He answered all our questions and explained everything so we understood. I recommend going and I can’t wait to get hungry again because I’m coming back.

Honestly I used to love coming to this place and they have their good days and bad days. I came a little late at night and my chicken looked like it was not cooked all the way. My food came out super fast like 5 minutes later my food was out. I know at night everyone wants to leave but my chicken started to taste like it was not cooked all the way.

How in the world this place has good reviews is beyond me? Walked in on a Sat. afternoon, stood in doorway for 5 minutes before man at bar told us to sit anywhere. Then it took another 5 minutes for the waitress to come over and give us menus. Then finally asked us if we wanted drinks, only not to bring them over for another 10 minutes. She never came back to our table for our food order.Another waitress took our order. we decided on she crab soup as an appetizer and ordered our food. 20 Minutes later we were brought our soup and food together, The soup was ok tasting but we wanted it before our meal. The mac and cheese with short ribs was ice cold and actually was horrible tasting. The salad was ok but it had the brisket on top. I expected hot or at-least warm brisket . It actually was also ice cold with congealed fat! Sorry but it was disgustingly unappetizing. We were starving when we got there and left still hungry and disappointed in the entire meal , including the service. This place has potential but definitely will not recommend or ever try again.
