My parents live very close by, so I have visited this establishment a handful of times.  Their "Jar B Que" burger is decent.  However, a lot of the other traditional BBQ items were rather bland.  It's funny how the best thing I have ever had there was a chicken, bacon, and avocado wrap.  I mean shouldn't your specialty be BBQ?

Beer selection is ok...

I used to go here as a kid and I remember it being quite tasty. Then again, I was about eight. I went last night with my sister and it was incredibly eh. The fish tacos were pretty blah, the service was average and they need to work on cleanliness. When you walk out the front door and there are 422 cigarette butts in the bushes, you know that management is phoning it in.

Not an essential place, but as others have said, adequate if you're in the neighbourhood and just need some animal flesh. Pizza is great, service is almost adequate. They survive thanks to the kindness of strangers and  Ramapo College students who are a captive audience. I spent many a night here after classes and after a beer or two, it becomes an even better venue!

For New Jersey, Mason Jar's attempt at barbecue is fair.  If you venture to Mason Jar and possibly get swayed into trying a pizza or some other dish, it will be a huge mistake.  They are best known for their pulled pork platter, side of corn bread, and choice of cole slaw etc.  with a variety of sauces ranging from hot to vinegar and on.  The prices are fair, the noise level outrageous, service is good. This best for a family night.  Not a romantic venue.

Sometimes The Mason Jar is a 3 star, and sometimes it's a 2 1/2 star.  The Barbecue Sampler is good, but not the best.  The place is pretty big and has a nice atmosphere.  They have a big Sunday Brunch which I never had but seems a bit high in price.  Nice waiters and waitresses.  But for some reason I can take this place or leave it.  This is not a bad place, so I would recommend trying it out and decide for yourself.  Big parking lot (I don't know if that will sweeten the deal, I just thought I'd mention it).

What a let down.

I love BBQ so the promise of real BBQ in my backyard sounded too good to be true. Sadly, it was. The BBQ was dry and chewy. It wasn't that tasty at all.

I'll only eat here again if my car is stranded in front of it. Actually even then I may ask the tow truck guy to bring me McDs.

This isn't a "Must go".... but the food is desent and the location to Ramapo College is great.  If you do go.... don't expect much from the service... but order the brick oven pizza.  Their lemonade, however, is delicious!  And it's kinda cool how they serve it in little mason jars.... haha..... get it?  :)

The Mason Jar is just down the road from Ramapo College, and it's a great place to go with your buddies after a college soccer game or a dance.  It's HUGE, with so many rooms, you may get lost while looking for the bathroom.  The food isn't bad; I enjoyed a very nice burger there.
