“Dinner was great. First timers. We had shrimp in garlic appetizer, combo with 1/2 chicken and ribs-pork, rice and fries. And 1/2 chicken with rice and veggies. Everything was of good quality and very delicious. We’d order from you guys again. Thank you for a wonderful dinner!“

“I can’t say enough great things about this place. The food was out of this world, the brisket and the Alabama white wings were my favorite. We even went up to place another order of ribs! The service was great and staff was very attentive! Will definitely be coming back!“

“Fantastic food, experience, and people! I had the Butter Chicken with rice and it hit the spot! Quality, fair prices, and full of flavor. I have a lot more dishes to try so I'll certainly be back sooner than later!! 😋👍👍“

“This is a hidden gem. I tried this restaurant out because so many satisfied customers. I tried the candied wing dinner which came with 2 sides; I had the yellow rice and string beans. I have say the wings were phenomenal!!!! The service is great and everyone that works are very welcoming. Everything was freshly made, so it pay to order and pickup. I look forward to trying the other menu items...to be continued 😋“

“So for food we decided to order the corn bread, Mac & Cheese, Burnt ends and brisket cheesesteak.

The corn bread was awesome. So fluffy and full of flavor.

The Mac and cheese was delicious. I found myself adding a piece of burnt ends along with it, and you couldn’t go wrong.

The burnt ends were the star of the show. Incredible flavor and were nice and tender.

The only somewhat disappointing item was the cheesesteak. It was good but not something I probably would order again.

Overall good time - wish they had more tables or space, but it’s a nice lil spot“

“Los mejores en todo amboy 💪💪💪💪“

“Big Ed’s BBQ is a really great establishment. Amazing food and service. However, I think it should be against restaurants to make their customers pay a 18% gratuity automatically on the customers bill. The customer should choose their prefer tip. This should be illegal!!!“

“I love Portuguese BBQ as my husband takes home from Linden near his work. I always say it would taste better if they grill Pork /chicken crisper/well done. We went to this new place on our way home to try. OH MY MY I FOUND WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR &FLAVOR!!!! DELLLLIIIICCCCIIOOUUUSSSSSS!!!!!“

“My wife and I ate at Ford's in late December 2024. Boy are we glad we did! After seeing the reviews here and elsewhere, it was very clear we had to come here while we were in the area, and now we know why! We had never experienced Portuguese BBQ before, and holy moley, was it delicious!\n\nI had a lunch-sized chicken and pork ribs combo, and my wife had the lunch-sized chicken and beef ribs combo. All of the meat was absolutely sensational, well cooked, seasoned well, and just melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The BBQ sauce that came with it was also tasty, but honestly we felt like we didn't even need it because the meat was so tender and juicy.\n\nThe fries and yellow rice were also very tasty.\n\nAnd even when you get the lunch-sized portions, you get TONS of food, like we both got more than enough for both lunch and dinner.\n\nThe gentleman behind the counter was very friendly and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed to enjoy the meal.\n\nI'm not sure when or if we'll be back in the Fords/Woodbridge area, but if we are, we will definitely put this on our "must do" list every time.“

“Amazingly delicious food with beautiful presentation and top notch quality and quantity! Love the environment, attentive/knowledgable staff, wait is beyond worth the food! Second time having lunch there with Addy personally coming around to make sure all customers were satisfied!“

“My wife and I have been coming here for years and never had a bad experience until recently. The last two times we visited, the service and food quality were not the same. When I walked in and greeted the young gentleman at the counter, he didn’t respond — just gave me a sour look without saying a word. It left a bad impression.

Also, even though we picked up the food within 20 minutes like they said, it was cold and the fries were stale.

We’ve always enjoyed Estrela da Serra BBQ and hope this was just a rough patch. Hoping for a better experience next time.“

“Everything! The food and service was excellent!We love it!“

“This is the combination I didn’t know I needed until I had it and can’t live without it now! When you walk in, the beautiful BBQ smells grace you along with a friendly welcome. We had the half and half - the jerk pork was so tasty and the jerk chicken was to die for! The meat is tender and flavorful. The rice is a surprising main character to accompany the meats. Must try spot!“
