So I may have stumbled upon the Jersey Shore's best barbecue spot. Not only is the food amazing, but the views of the Atlantic Ocean make this restaurant a must-visit this summer.

And if you're a Jersey Shore local, odds are you've either heard of this place or been there before!

I'm always surprised at the amount of good BBQ you can find in Jersey. I'm an avid smoker myself, from pork butts to ribs to jalapeño poppers. When I'm not working at the station, my face is in a pit, and my Jim Bowie Smoker is working. However, getting to go out for BBQ and not have to worry about doing your own prep and cooking is always nice too.

You can also get buy one get one 50% off sandwiches like the pulled pork sandwich, the bacon bama turkey sandwich, and the smokehouse Caesar wrap.
