Backwoods BBQ has officially taken over the kitchen at the Dog House Saloon in Washington Township. Unlike its old spot in Westwood, you won't find contemporary spins on barbecue -- mostly straightforward pulled pork, brisket and ribs. (The menu can be downloaded here.) But you'll still find the popular $20 all-you-can-eat ribs promotion on Wednesdays.
The Dog House Saloon is at 270 Pascack Road, Washington Township; 201-722-1820.
I thought the all-you-can-eat ribs promo was $15 at Backwoods. $20 isn't that great of a bargain unless you can eat more than a full rack and the promo includes a 50 percent off coupon for your next coronary bypass surgery.

It was always $20 for the AYCE ribs. I went once, and I thought it was a good deal. However, the regular menu was just too darn expensive, even for yuppified barbecue.
I'm glad they're back, with a simplified and less expensive (though still a bit above average) menu. I just hope the atmosphere of the new place isn't too "seedy bar" for me.

Went to Backwoods this weekend and thought the BBQ was very good. I had the pulled pork and it was moist and flavorful. The cornbread and baked beans were also very good. Not too many places that serve authentic BBQ in northern Bergen County. We tried Jim Dandy in Westwood, NJ and it was nearly as good. The place is in a road-house type bar, and may be questionable for the kids depending on when you go...

No Longer BBQ.. They Have a new Menu and I LOVE IT!
Let me start this review by saying.... I just had the Best Burger of my life! I love food, and have visited many places, recently being disappointed by many. I was driving past this local place today (The Dog House) when I noticed a Banner stating their kitchen was open. I thought "Why not." ...Right?
I walk in and hover by the door for a minute while glancing at the menu. To my surprise, they had a lot to offer. So I grabbed a seat by the bar (Small Dining Area, and Crowed Bar)
My order consists of a Drink and an "ALL AMERICAN" Burger, not ten minutes later this GIANT burger comes out. I couldn't believe my eyes, and the flavor.... Unbelievable! I snapped a picture text my buddy and dug in!
After a few cocktails, the burger and a tip it was still UNDER $20. Can't Beat It!
This one goes down in history. Thank you Dog House, I am stuffed.
CONS: Small Dining Area, Limited Waitress Service, Crowded.
PROS: Cold Beer, Phenomenal Burgers, Big Menu, Good Service, Inexpensive, Plenty of Parking.
BURGER: $7.95 DRINK: $2.00 ... FINDING A GREAT LOCAL PLACE: PRICELESS
Needless to say...I WILL BE BACK ! ! !

BBQ? .... I dont think Backwoods is there anymore? Some friendly couple seems to be running it.
I have never had a bad meal or bad experience here, although I am a "new" customer. I can't say enough about the food, the atmosphere, or the service. I wish I lived closer, they'd never get rid of me. I have heard others speak negatively about the décor and how loud it can get later in the evening but I consider it part of the experience. If the Dog House was just a mediocre establishment I would not drive out of my way for the cold beer and killer food. It's worth it.
The Huge Portions are a plus but, the Burgers are to die for!

DOG HOUSESALOON....BEST KEPT SECRET in the area!
The Salads and Bacon Cheese Burgers are ridiculously tasty.
What to do:
- Order a Bacon Cheeseburger or Jumbo Salad!
- Call ahead if you're grabbing it to go. This place turns busy at the drop of a hat sometimes, and it appears to me that this couple runs the whole place all the time (nice to see nowadays).
- When Ordering read the full menu it is very descriptive, I am partial to the Buffalo Salad.
What not to do:
- Never, ever walk into this place with a shirt you care about if you plan on diving into some of these huge portioned meals.... A fork and a knife are always needed.
- Don't ask for extra of anything until you've eaten here at least once, it seems that most items come with mass amounts of everything you'll need/want .
Neighborhood type bar, great place to hang out and grab a drink; but the secret is in the food..... . Every time I have a chance to stop in I have a phenomenal time.

It is important that you do a little bit of research first so that you are somewhat familiar.
