★★★★☆ 4.0 Ozzie · Feb 2026

This place has been around forever. I havent returned since I moved out of town but, stopped in today. They are still serving up some of the best Portuguese BBQ in all of NJ. You cant go wrong with the combination platter which brings chicken and ribs (beef or pork) with a side of rice and fries. Today I went with the half chicken and vegetables platter. The veggies are carrots, potatos, and steamed cabbage. It was delicious. The chicken is as good as I remember. Its a very small place with maybe 4 tables but they do take credit cards. For the quality and price you cant beat this place.

Stopped coming to this location for years and last night I reminded myself why! Traveled about 20 minutes to pick up food that I was told was going to be ready in 10 minutes, ended up waiting about 20 minutes for. Once I arrived home I noticed that my fries were completely soggy and uncooked! When I called to complain she said it was because they were busy. I responded "so because you're busy you don't cook your food thoroughly?" I placed the fries in the oven to cook them myself! What a waste of money! I stopped going to the one on Stuyvesant Avenue because my shrimp taste it like there was dirt or sand inside and they told me I had to pay extra if I wanted my shrimp cleaned! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? Never again!

Nice service when I called in my order. Easy pick up. Food was flavorful! The beef ribs were a bit tough but still had nice flavor. The chicken was my favorite! The chicken sandwich and fries were good as well :)

I cannot believe how poor the food is now. This used to be a go to spot. Now EVERYTHING LACKS FLAVOR! EVERYTHING - chicken, pork ribs, rice, garlic shrimp and beans! Don’t waste your money!!!

★★★★★ 5.0 CiMa · Dec 2024

Everything was delicious. Food was fresh, warm, hearty, savory and satisfying. Great service! Comfortable atmosphere. A great option for family meals, when unable or unwilling to cook at home. 😁 Good sized portions. I had the Chicken in Garlic Sauce with rice and beans. My friend has the BBQ Ribs and Chicken with Rice, Cabbage and Boiled Potatoes. This spot has been added to my weekly meal rotation.
