“Food is always great! Fresh savory and grilled to perfection.Parking: Not a lot of parking, it’s in a residential neighborhood. You have to valet park if no parking on the street. parking is hard so I always order to pick up and double park.“
“Stopped in to check out the place for a private party. Had a quick fancy drink, that was amazingly delicious! The owner is very friendly and the place is as clean as a whistle! Definitely coming back hereParking: Had to circle around a few times to find parking. Someone left so I was lucky!“
“We had ribs with fries and rice and everything was delicious. Actually, the fries were the best I’ve ver had at a BBQ Place. The owner explained that they are not frozen; they’re freshly cut in the store and the oil is frequently changed; that explains the flavor. The ribs were to die for. We’ll be back!“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Envy Bar and Grille and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. The blend of Portuguese and American cuisine on the menu was both unique and delicious. The flavors were a perfect marriage of both cultures.The ambiance of the restaurant was also a standout feature. The cool artwork around the space added a trendy and modern vibe. It was a great place to relax and enjoy a meal.I also want to give a shoutout to our waitress who provided exceptional service throughout our meal. She was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu.Overall, I highly recommend Envy Bar and Grille for anyone looking for a unique dining experience in Newark. The food, atmosphere, and service all exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be returning in the future.Parking: No parking lot for the restaurant. Need to find street parking which depending on the day and time you go -is not a problem.“
“I recently dined at this restaurant and had a delightful experience. The fried calamari and flatbread appetizers were delicious, setting a high standard for the rest of the meal. For the entree, I opted for the lamb chops, which were cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The food quality was excellent, leaving me thoroughly satisfied. Apart from the food, the atmosphere of the restaurant was fantastic. The ambiance was inviting, and the cleanliness of the place added to the overall pleasant dining experience. The staff were attentive and friendly, enhancing the overall positive vibe of the restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience. The combination of delicious food, great atmosphere, and excellent service makes it a standout choice.“
“This place is delightful. My go to is the Portuguese rolls breakfast sandwich. It's the best in the area. The empanadas are pretty good too. Pastel de nata ::drool emoji:: say less. You can't leave here without a dessert. Stop here if you want good eats“
“Good place ,good food and service at decent prices..Parking: Parking is ok . But on weekends and busy days Parking lot is always full. Have to find Parking on the street.. But it's worthwhile..Wheelchair accessibility: My mom uses a wheelchair. It's accessible..“
“Delicious food, nice sized portions, and the sangria is really good. Would have been 5 stars, but it's a bit expensive...Not enough to keep us away, just be prepared! We shared 1 appetizer, had 2 meals (we did pick the most expensive items on the menu, lobster and Chilean sea bass), 1 dessert, 1 pitcher of sangria, and 2 Irish coffees, and our bill was almost $300. But, we'll be back because it's THAT good!“
“02.23.24 I was looking for a 'chill spot' conveniently located between work and home. I went on Yelp and this place popped up. I just got off work and I arrived about 10:20pm. This bar/restaurant was still serving food from the entire menu. Andrea made my classic margaritas (5 star). I paired the margaritas with caldo Verde soup (5 star) and clams casino (3 stars). If I get off work early again and I'm not in the mood for typical 'bar food', this is definitely my 'go to' spot.“
“Paulo’s BBQ is a hidden gem catering to the South Plainfield community. The food is fresh and delicious, and the drinks, particularly the spicy mango margarita, is a MUST. The manager, Matheus and his exceptional stsff exceed expectations to ensure every visit is memorable and pleasurable. If you find yourself in the area, don't hesitate to give this place a chance. You'll leave satisfied, guaranteed.“
“I live in the Ironbound, but the prices and quality of food is so much better here. The meat is of excellent quality and the service is great. If you come on a Sunday like I did, get here before 1pm because it gets packed quickly. The place is small but very nice. The parihada for 2, is enough for 3 or 4.“
“The space is small, but this is more of a takeout place. The portions are large and therefore you don't need to make many orders and the food is great. Everything is ready when they tell you it will be. you don't have to wait for your order for too long. I definitely recommend as a quick solution if you don't feel like cooking.“
“If you are a fan of Nandos you will like this place! Dont get me wrong, it's not as good but if you want to save yourself the drive to DC. This is a great option. The fries were out of this world! Ask them to put the seasoned salt on them. The chicken had great flavor but i wish it wasn't just a sauce they put on top vs marinating it with it. The other thing that i noticed is you have to buy majority of the menu items separately, which i didn't like too much.“
“Honestly one of the best restaurants I've been to, it seems like a cozy place and highly recommended.And I went on Saturday and Monday, both waitresses treated me very well, they were very friendly and I loved the seafood soup and beef ribs service.“
“Great place for bar, to watch the games. Home to 12 flavors of Sangria in a pitcher. They have take away containers as well if you care to enjoy one with your significant other at home. They have film dining as well. Great for date night. Dinner for 2 unde $100“
“The food is always fresh and the steak tender cooked to perfection. The ambience is causual comfortable and fun. No loud music to interfere with good conversation with your party. The service is outstanding always clean neat and smiling as they serve you. The best sangria I have ever had. I have become a regular here and know the waiter and waitress names and each of them have their special way of making me feel welcomed and ready to serve. 5 Stars and highly recommended.“
“Came in on a Friday with my brother and so happy to see my favorite bartender Jimmy. He went out of his way to make sure I had a sample of the seafood salad to make sure I liked it. Amazing white sangria and more than enough food and plenty to take home. Love coming here and sharing a wonderful meal and great laughs with Jimmy. Come and see him!!!!!“
“I've ordered from here when I lived close.. now I was visiting someone in hospital and had no wallet on me but the owner Carlos and the sweet girl at the counter gave me a monster take home platters of the tastiest BBQ I've had in long time and he just outright gave me the meal without any money truly act of incredible kindness and class... Carlos thank you and God bless you and ur family... much appreciated and will always recommend and eat here forever... thank you my friend“
“Authentic Portuguese cuisine!Daily specials available.Love the white sangria.My husband enjoys the grilled octopus.The shrimp and churico appetizer was so tasty and great for dipping the Portuguese rolls in the sauce.When you order an entree- you have choice of salad or soup.Dessert tray is presented after your meal.Loved the Serradura ~ Portuguese Sawdust Pudding!Expresso and cappuccino are great.Servers attentive and friendly.Typically just walk in and are immediately seated.Haven’t made reservations.Parking on site.“
“recently dined at Tribos Peri Peri and had a delightful experience. From the moment I entered, the ambiance was inviting and the staff, including Shiva, were incredibly welcoming. Shiva's attentive service added to the enjoyment of my meal. I opted for the peri peri chicken, and it was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of spice. The sides were also flavorful and complemented the main dish well. The portion sizes were generous, and the presentation was impressive. Overall, Tribos Peri Peri exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend it to anyone craving delicious peri peri cuisine."??“
“Great service!! The place is such a vibe and everyone is always so polite, especially both managers Chris and Bores. They are always so attentive and assisting you with anything. The drinks and food are amazing!! 100% recommend this place to anyone who wants good food and drinks.“
“amazing treats for sure. always made fresh and tasty. i order for my family and friends when we gather together to celebrate the holidays and birthdays. They’re always a hit! I even order empanadas when cooking just isn’t for me on a certain work day! ? and i also have to add that the staff are super friendly and always go out of their way to accommodate any order.“
“Food is always good to excellent. Good hard working regulars always say hello; many have become good friends. The Portuguese " Cheers" kind of sums it up. Karokee on a Friday or Saturday brings a mix of music from people who just love to sing and to be around good people.“
“This restaurant was a nice gem. ? My fiance and I are locals of Carteret and decided to stop by here for a bite. This place did not disappoint. The food was great, the drinks were amazing and the atmosphere was very welcoming. Don't hesitate to stop by here!!!!!“
“We ordered catering from North Newark BBQ for a business event, and the food was outstanding. The pork ribs and rotisserie chicken were perfectly cooked and tender, seasoned just right with a flavorful dry rub. We also ordered a seafood platter, which was a big hit! The garlic green sauce paired wonderfully with the freshness of the shellfish. Danny & Cilinha executed my requests flawlessly and delivered everything on time. If you're seeking a unique dining experience, this is the place to go!“
“What an absolute hidden gem, very kind staff, I'd recommend the chicken on rice. It did get more fun once I spoke Spanish with them, though they speak Portuguese they understood me well and we got a lot of family-style platters for our table full of colleagues.“
“Wonderful little gem. Near my hotel (the Courtyard). Had the half chicken with collards and black beans to stick to my keto diet. The chicken was small, but the sides were enormous. Food was excellent. Even though the selections I ordered were simple, the preparation was evident. Easily the best bowl of beans I've ever had. The garlic and oil on the collards were perfect too. I was hungry and forgot to take a picture of the meal, but trust me: it was good. You won't be disappointed.“
“I love this place! The amount of food given for the price is fantastic! I have food enough for 2-3 days with one combo platter. The ribs are SO delicious! My favorite combo is the chicken and ribs combo with fries and yellow rice. And the bbq sauce? I wish I had a whole botle of it! Service is great and the people that work here are so nice.“
“Food is always great and very consistent. Even on Saturday night, it's ready quickly. We get take-out frequently; at least twice a month. It's so good every single time. One thing I appreciate is the quality of the chicken; so often from other restaurants it's tough or fatty which is gross, but this place's chicken is always cooked correctly with no fatty pieces. Lemon chicken is amazing.“
“A few weeks ago, I ate at Burnet BBQ #4 because I tasted some of their food weeks earlier at a family gathering. Well, the kindness of the staff, atmosphere and taste of the food did not disappoint. I definitely plan to return in the future when I’m in the area.“
“By now everybody knows this spot.When you get a chance to come down check-out Burnet BBQ. The Rotisserie Masters in the house. It's perfect every single time. I don't know how they do it I usually get the chicken with steamed veggies and rice.“

“So I stumbled on this place and decided to try it because I was starving. I must say the gentleman that helped me had excellent customer service skills, was funny, courteous and helpful, the food came out pretty quickly, the environment and was clean but more importantly the food was great. Definitely would recommend it and would be ordering from here more often. The only thing i would change is having Portuguese rolls instead of sliced bread.“
“Been here lots of times.. Great place for Portuguese BBQ. Always delicious, lots of options and a very friendly staff. You can dine in or take out.Parking: About 20 spots in the lot next to the building and plenty of free street parking.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu“
“I recently moved to the Ironbound and needed to find myself a pizza place. Luckily, this place is only a few blocks from my apartment. It's not very big and doesn't seem to be popular for eat-in dining, but it is always busy with people getting take out. The pizza itself has rather thin crust and the sauce is great. I love their margherita pizza. If you eat there, be prepared to pay for drinks even if you get water. They only have bottled. The only down side is that because it's a small place and busy the service can be slow. Order in advance and then you can pick it up or have it delivered when you're ready to eat. I added photos of the menu for anyone who needs it!“
“Let me tell you a little about this place you'd never guess in a million years it's a restaurant due to it being in an old train station building! The service is amazing and the food is phenomenal! I was working nearby and stumbled across this spot and any time I work there I come here to get lunch! I've came back multiple days in a row that's how great it is! Wish there was one close by me!“
“Bloomfield BBQ is top-notch food 100%!! Prices are reasonable. Oh, it's also better than the BBQ on the corner of Davenport Ave & 6th Street. Stephanie's Barbecue IV .Food low quality when you ask for 1/2 of chicken combo, they don't include breast only low end of the chicken.. don't get started on ribs more bone than meat seriously.. and I'm only 4 house away.. that sucks.. that's why travel 4 blocks. To a better place... BLOOMFIELD BBQ.. THANK YOU..“
“This place is and has been excellent! Great food, great value, great service.The beef ribs or breaded steaks are excellent!In fact, when my daughter was pregnant, a few times I went in and got her an order of potatoes... they never charged me and the owner is a great guy!You can't go wrong when there's no time to cook and you want good food!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“
“This place knows how to bbq meat! Awesome ...very reasonable price, great, great quality, quick service. And the place was hopping.There were only a couple tables outside to eat, but I guess the place is known as a take out place. Very good, very busy!!“
“This is a take out place for amazing Portuguese barbecue chicken. It comes with rice, French fries, and a roll. The chicken is fall off the bone tender and very flavorful. The price is very reasonable. You can call ahead and place an order for pick up. Parking can be a challenge at certain times so it’s easiest if 2 people go and one runs in to get the food while the other drives around the block. It’s worth the little bit of challenge to enjoy their great chicken and rice!“
“We used Colonia BBQ to cater our holiday office party. Their helpful staff took care of our needs and wants to make this a great experience. The food was absolutely delicious and everyone loved it. I will definitely be using them again for any catering event in the future.“
“Typical tasty portuguese barbecue with huge portions. Differently from other places, this one has a liquor license. The place looks like an old diner, very charming. There is parking in the back. Cheap, great for takeout but comfortable for dine-in.“
