Where Ironbound flavor meets the next generation.
 

Pulaski BBQ has been part of the Ironbound’s heartbeat for years. This place didn’t just pop up — it was built, brick by brick, plate by plate, by the legendary Carmo Brothers — the guys who turned simple BBQ into an Ironbound Newark staple. They made this spot famous long before “foodie culture” was a thing — and, we respect that. We honor that. We don’t pretend it didn’t happen — we build on it.

 

When Sebastian Meleiro stepped in as the new owner, he didn’t come to rewrite the story. He came to keep the flame alive — and turn it up. Same soul. Same Ironbound grit. But now with a fresh push, sharper quality, and a commitment to take this place further than it’s ever been.

 

This is Real BBQ, the kind you smell before you see. The kind families grew up on. The kind people cross town for. Pulaski BBQ today is the perfect mix of old-school roots and new-school hustle. The legacy of the Carmo Brothers is still here — in every bite, every plate, every memory — and we're proud to carry it forward.

 

If you’re from the neighborhood, welcome back. If you’re new, pull up a chair. Either way, you’re about to experience why Pulaski BBQ has been Ironbound-famous for years — and why this next chapter is just getting started.
