14 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Cliffwood

“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!“

“This was some of the best bbq outside of texas I've had! We got the brisket and the pulled pork with mac and cheese, corn bread, and mashed potatos. The brisket was incredibly moisty and melt in your mouth. The pulled pork was also really good. The mashed potatos were soo creamy and delicious! The mac and cheese was also pretty good though just above standard. Also loved the corn bread! The only super minor note i would say is it would be great if they had a homemade lemonade instead of just bottles“

“Food is so delicious, specially halwa puri and staff is very friendly and kind . Love this restaurant.“

“I tried it for the first time today, and it was excellent. I got the extra spicy BBQ wings and the brisket with mac and cheese and candied yams. The wings had the perfect balance of sweet and spicy, the brisket was super juicy, and the sides were perfectly done. I ordered takeout and, even after an 8-minute drive home, everything was still piping hot. I’ll definitely be back and hope they don’t change a thing.“

“Long wait for food but it was worth it,great portions great flavor,parking sucks lol,ill def be back,need more hours of operation,and the customer service is not bad,just needs tweaking,they need a person to just work the counter as far as taking orders register and getting out the door only,good luck and welcome to the area“

“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!!!!!“

“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 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.“

“Just tried this place and WOW ! The food was absolutely delicious. The chicken had the perfect amount of kick and flavor, and the pork was seasoned to perfection. And let me tell you… the Curried Beef Lumpia and the fresh fruit juices was to die for.

On top of that, the service was amazing. The owner is so warm and kind, which really made the whole experience even better.

The only downside is that it was pretty cold inside there’s a noticeable draft. If they can fix that and make it warmer, it would be the perfect place to sit and really enjoy your meal comfortably.

Overall, definitely worth checking out. I’ll absolutely be back!“

“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!“

“Bar service is excellent . Avoid wait times by going directly to bar. The bartender, Victoria, is excellent, and combines excellent professional skills with a terrific personality!“
