Pulled Fork BBQ
In 1999, Mike Meredith moved to NJ from his home state of Texas for work.
Homesick for his Lone Star State, he was psyched when his friend invited him to a barbeque. He couldn't wait for the ribs, brisket, and sausage...
Mike soon realized that Jersey BBQ means burgers & dogs. On the bright side, he did find something at that BBQ that he was missing (Jen)! He southern-charmed her and they were married in 2001. 6 years later, their family became complete when Cody was born. Mike started building UDS's (ugly drum smokers) as a hobby. He loved smoking meat for family and friends. He experimented with new recipes and techniques, finding his own smoking style, reminiscent of the Central-East Texas BBQ he missed. Dry rubs, chopped brisket, ranch style beans, comfort food and tastes of home. He worked hard and held tight to his dream for years.

Story
In the Fall of 2014, Pulled Fork BBQ was born! Our part time catering business grew and in 2017 Mike took the leap to dedicate his full-time career to BBQ at the Stockton Market. It was a wonderful experience for us, and we were the proud winners of Critic’s Pick for BBQ in NJ Monthly Magazine two consecutive years! This summer, when we found an opportunity to open our own spot so close to home, we knew it was fate. We are a family. We work hard, we support one other, and our goal is simple… to share our love of BBQ, and homemade, real, southern-comfort food. Thank you so much for your business, support, and friendship!
