“Great food. Cant wait to go back and try something new.“

“The staff was wonderful but the brisket is incredible and tender. My hats off to the chef! Better than famous Dave’s brisket. They have these amazing Brussel sprouts that I could make a whole meal out of. I’ll be returning soon. FYI Everything is a la carte“

“Anáis is a great server I recommend her she is the best“

“Found this restaurant by chance and had a wonderful lunch for four of us. The food was great - The rodizo platters were cooked just as ordered. The staff was attentive and professional. We will go back!“

“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.“

“The best brisket! Great sauce! Very friendly staff!“

“We stopped by for dinner. Everything was fantastic! The owner is so nice and sweet. Grilled chicken is super!! Homemade sauce are so delicious. One of the best restaurant in Springfield! Recommended! 👏👏“

“Superb service by employees, one of my new favorite places to go. Disappointing that is so far from where I live but still well worth the drive. All the seafood seems super fresh, highly recommend. Not a fan of their new ordering system which requires a employees code to order certain dishes.“

“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!“

“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!!!!!“

“Top notch for down here in the Ironbound. The food was amazing, the service was amazing. This is not watered-down Portuguese cuisine.“

“I've been going to Leo's for years now.... Super Friendly Staff/Great Food. The best Barbecue Sticks in New Jersey.... 😉 😀 John“

“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!“

“Excellent food and service,I got breakfast,lunch and dinner…I am a truck driver and have a busy schedule,so I decided to give this place a shot…can’t wait to come back and try other things.

Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian options,they can make a vege burrito or sandwich.

Kid-friendliness: Kids can sit and eat“

“la mejor comida dominicana de area“

“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.“

“gracias por una buena atención la comida 10 de 10 siempre que boy me si ento bien consentida 😍😍🥰🥰 excelente servicio lo recomiendo 👌 al 100% bendiciones a todos“

“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.“

“Don’t let the location fool you, this place is absolutely worth the visit.

It may not be in the most prestigious area, but once you step inside and taste the food, you’ll understand why it’s a hidden gem. The steak was cooked perfectly , tender, juicy, and full of flavor. And the seafood? Fresh, well-seasoned, and beautifully prepared. Highly recommended!!!!“

“Jersey Joe’s is truly the best. They catered a large bbq I hosted this summer and did a phenomenal job, I’m still getting compliments on the food even now. This was the first large event I was hosting at my new house, and I was worried I bit off more than I could chew, but jersey Joe’s made everything so much easier for me. I didn’t have to worry at all, they took care of set up and clean up, they packed up all the extra food and even put it in my fridge for me, and all my guests raved about how kind all the workers were. I’d give them 12/10 stars!“

“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!“

“My favorite item is the Tropical Tuna poke bowl. It’s a generous portion and everything is super fresh. The dining area is simple but cute and the staff is always friendly. I definitely recommend giving Hawaii Station a try. It’s one of my local favorites.“

“Great food! Highly recommend!“

“Exceptional.....if ur lucky enuff to find parking...ur lucky enuff“

“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.“

“full rack with devils spit sauce“

“My girlfriend and I went last night. On our way we stopped at the gas station adjacent to the restaurant. As I rolled down the window all I could smell is the exhaust from the grill and my stomach immediately started to grumble. Although we have been many many times, our go to is the combo plate of a half chicken and ribs. My girlfriend is not a fan of garlic. Sometimes the rice can be a little garlicky but everything there is delicious.“
