“Very fond memories of a dear, old friend of mine who passed away several years ago. Whenever he came back to Jersey we'd have to stop here! He loved their paella! Even though I'm not close by anymore, we still come here a few times a year. The food is great, the wines are great, the service is great, the staff is great, the atmosphere is great, the decor in the dining room is great.... there's nothing I can say that isn't great!!!“

“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!“

“The Portuguese Fisherman is a slam dunk no brainer must visit restaurants! There isn't one single detail that they can improve. It's beautiful inside. The dining area is bright clean comfortable and spacious. My date and I were able to have a fun time and private conversations while surrounded by happy chatting diners. The front house staff were amazing seating us in a great spot and the waiter was the perfect level of attentive. Everyone was happy and pleasant which adds to a really great vibe. We entered through the bar which was lively and exciting. We'll certainly try the bar next time opting for a little more intimacy. Another note on the bar, the drinks we had were fantastic!!! The food that comes out of the kitchen was mega delicious! We had the octopus appetizer that was the most remarkable I've ever had. This is not said trivially, I've eaten in thousands of restaurants and I cook. Octopus is difficult to get right and they did it to perfection. My date and I had 2 different dishes and tried each others. The paella was just fantastic and the portion was enough for the two of us. My companion had the Mariscada that was also made to it's an absolute must visit!“

“My wife and I visited for dinner and ordered the Rodizio. Everything was very tasty and there was nothing I could complain about.Our waiter was Omar and he was very good.I'm used to going to the Newark, NJ location.I highly recommend these locations. My understanding is that the Manalapan, NJ location doesn't offer rodizio service.“

“I celebrated my sweet 16 at this restaurant, and the food was absolutely incredible. Though it can be a bit pricey, the quality is worth it. The event room comfortably accommodated 7 to 8 tables, which was perfect for our gathering. The bright ambiance, thanks to the large windows, added to the charm. Additionally, having their own parking lot is convenient, although it can occasionally fill up.“

“This place is amazing. The food was fresh and huge portions. I’ve been here about 3-4 times. I like this restaurant very much. The sangria is phenomenal! Best I’ve ever had. The salad, simple but incredibly delicious. Fresh baked bread also does not disappoint. I’d definitely recommend, even the sangria alone is worth the trip. They’re definitely doing something right there!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I consider myself a connoisseur of Leitao and have to say that this was the best I have eaten in Newark and many other places I have visited. It was tender and crispy and tastefully seasoned. Their shrimp rissois are also amazing along with their coconut cake which are only a few of the things I’ve tried. It’s a must try for sure… Congrats to the owner!“

“If you're from Portugal you probably already know about Carvalho's in South River and have stood in line to sit down or order takeout in this small Portuguese neighborhood bakery/cafe. Regular customers always make me feel right at home as they welcome me with a warm smile and a bom dia!...while personnel keep order prep, the customer line moving and the tables happy with freshly baked out of this world breads, pastries, coffees, breakfasts and sandwiches. I Visit NJ frequently and while I'm there, I drive to Calvalo's early EVERY morning to have my warm Pastel de Nata (as good as the best in Portugal) before they are gone. The baked goods won't let you down as you're sure to walk out after eating with....Natas, buns, soft cinnamon breads, hearty all grain breads, almond breads, dense corn breads etc... Quality and consistency is guaranteed as you seldom see the owner in the front, always working the kitchen ensuring her team produces the best quality day in and out. I hope to visit for many more years to come!!! Thanks for the awesome food made with lots of love. Nelson“

“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."??“
“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.“

“We were there for a private party. The wait staff was very attentive! The room was set up comfortably allowing room for guests to move around the room. The food was delicious. Assorted vegetables were cooked and seasoned properly which is not always the case at buffets. The flounder was delicious as were the chicken and meat dishes.I would definitely return to dine here again!“
“What makes Tudo Bom live up to its name is the quality of the product and the staff. The taste of Tudo Bom brings is a taste of Portugal in a place far away.

“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.“

“This is my first time eating Portuguese food and I must say that I had a very good experience with them. The flounder with the spanish rice and sauteed veggies were on point! I also had the chourito and camarno which is sausage and shrimp in a garlicky hot sauce which was divine! the espresso was a nice finish to the meal. I highly recommend trying it out. André our server was very nice and attentive and the chef and everyone cooked the food to perfection. Give Algarve a try!“

The food was very good, we had Caldo Verde soup very tasty, Chourico Portuguese sausage it was sliced thin very good, shrimp and Garlic was very very tasty wish there was more shrimp in the dish. Then we had lamb chops. They were so tender. They did give us mint sauce on the side I asked for Garlic sauce and they accommodated me. it was a different garlic sauce, then from the shrimp it was very good. Sangria was good, espresso martini was very good. I would definitely recommend anyone to check it out. Anna Maria let us know The tip was included for a party of 2 . That was very nice of her. She would’ve gotten a really really big tip, we did give her a little extra.“

“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.“

“Very nice people. Grilled chicken a little hard and too much seasoning. Actually I would say there is a lot of seasoning on all the meat which makes this not a good dinner spot when I'm feeding my mom. I like it though. Veggies are good and potatoes and salad dressing. Soup is so good. All yummy.“
