Portuguese Restaurants near Hillside, NJ

“Super la comidas muy buena“

“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.“

“I’m visiting NJ (lived here for a long time) and wanted to eat some of my favorite foods. I ordered dinner from port of peri peri and it was perfectly cooked but missing my fries. I let that be known to the restaurant and received a small refund. Next night, I ordered dinner again and I received a large order of fries on the house as well as a discount card for 5% for dine in orders valid for one more week. Amazing customer service. If I were in NJ longer, I would surely order again! The food is absolutely delicious 😋“

“This place is a true gem, with a great vibe. Authentic cuisine and great drinks. The food was delicious, our server Kimani was great! Music was tasteful and not too loud. Decor was modern tropical. Highly recommended if you are in to Afro Carribean cuisine or you want to try something different.“

“Amazing food and staff! Give it a try!“

“We were driving through and stumbled upon this gem!! Delicious fish- we had sol and salmon, and an excellent sangria. Wait staff was wonderfully accommodating of our toddler, and very friendly. If we are ever back in the area, will stop by!“

“Food is delicious! Service is great. Bartender is in point with mixed drinks. Dessert was omg delicious and our server Giovanni is superb“

“I am gushing over the meal we had here. From amazing craft cocktails to an unforgettable dinner. Raphael, Julia, and Louis spoiled us. The cocktails were in fun glasses and were light and flavorful. The service was impeccable. We let them order for us. Octopus starter, then onto hanger steak, roasted chicken, sea bass, and the pork stew. All incredible with deep rich flavors. We had some great sides, a light salad to finish, and a lovely passion fruit desert. I can't say enough about this place.“

“Any dish of there daily menu!“

“Great atmosphere, great service, great prices.“

“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.“

“I definitely love this place, the food is the best in here, also the customer services, it’s a amazing. Love it“

“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. I love and will continue to support them, if you are having a party I totally recommend Tudo Bom you will not be disappointed!! Good food, good service, amazing people!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“I’ve eaten here two times. The ladies behind the bar are extremely friendly and attentive. The meals are tasty with generous portions. I’m not a huge fan of French fries, but these are so good and taste homemade! The salad was delicious and the garlic pork chops were excellent. My friend had grilled salmon and enjoyed it. The prices are affordable and they even have a $4 glass of house wine that they fill to the rim; you can’t beat it! My only complaint is that it is extremely warm in there. Other than that, I highly recommend.“

“The best place, great prices and food is the bomb“

“We went to the Chateau 7/13 for our Granddaughter's birthday. I had mentioned it was her birthday. We had a delicious dinner with sangria. After dinner one of the waiters along with a waitress came over with a Birthday dessert w/candle and even sang Happy Birthday. After we finished the waiter Paulo came back with a glass of Port Wine to finish off the meal. He was very personable.“

“Well I have been going there for about 15 years now. it's my Friday night dinner and sangria spot. Food, drinks ambience and of course superb customer service A+. Best surf & turf in the business!!“

“I came here with my family and some friends before an Elton John concert and we had a fabulous time. My brother and I absolutely feasted on the delicious empanadas. I ordered the grilled skirt steak and it was delightful. The staff were friendly and attentive. My crew and I had a blast there and would highly recommend if you’re in the area.“

“Good Portuguese restaurant. Food was delicious, good sangria. Middle range prices. Personally I think it has certain coziness, but it must be because I don’t like that “modern” style/look. A few TV’s one of them really big. Few tables, and bar area. Small bar/restaurant. Service is okay. Only issue with me is that the area is very busy, hard to find parking in the street and yes, you can park on their driveway, which it fits about 6 cars or so, but you have to keep moving your car because you are blocking another person when they leave. Also if you are having a few TV’s on, and music playing as well, the volume for one of them should be lowered. It is a small place to have the TV so loud.“

“My experience is very positive. Food and service is excellent.“

“My family has always enjoyed going to Europa for birthdays and anniversaries. Our go to spot.“

“Recomiendo el pollo a la brasa y el Chicken francés!☺️muy buena comida“

“Ate here with a group of co-workers (total of 8 people) after work on a Tuesday evening. It had a casual atmosphere. The food was excellent starting from the appetizers all the way down to the dessert! The calamari and the shrimp during the appetizer was on point. The sauce on the shrimp was great dipping for the bread. For the Entree the seafood pasta was fresh and a generous serving portion for 5-6 people alone in 1 serving. We also had the picadinho, which was my favorite- excellent... not too greasy! And had a good portion of salad with steak. Then we each had a serving of different desserts that we shared- flan, chocolate mousse, tiramisu, cheesecake, and some pudding.“

“Had the combo mixed grill ,everything was amazing and plenty of food. I recommend this place very highly.“

“Comida muito caseira e boa“

“Ótimo atendimento , comida boa , preço excelente“

“Great service and food to match.“

“I’ve been ordering from The Pit for years the staff is always friendly, and the food is consistently fresh and flavorful. No complaints there at all.

That said, I wanted to give a heads-up for anyone ordering the beef ribs half combo. I recently ordered the same half beef rib(S) and chicken combo I’ve gotten in the past. Typically, when I order the half beef rib(s), I receive 2–3 beef chuck ribs. This time, however, I only received one rib — which was surprising, considering the plural wording and my prior experiences.

I called and spoke with Jeff, who was respectful and upfront. He mentioned that the combo only includes one beef rib and that prices have gone up (which I totally get). Still, based on my regular orders over the years, I’ve never received just one rib until now. Either way, I appreciate his transparency.

For context:
• Half chicken combo = ~$11.95
• Half beef rib(S) & chicken combo = ~$16.95

So if you’re expecting multiple beef ribs, you may want to reconsider and go for the chicken or pork ribs instead both still come in hearty portions.

To be clear, this isn’t a complaint just advice for fellow regulars or first-timers who may be surprised by the term beef rib(S)with a single rib. I’ve even added pictures in photos comparing what I received vs. the half chicken combo.

Bottom line: The Pit remains a solid spot with delicious food, generous sides, and great service just be mindful of the current beef rib portions when ordering.“

“Great food. Sangria service“

“One of the Best hole in the wall places, with the BEST tasting chicken I've ever had.
Would drive for miles to go there. And usually my first stop when arriving to Newark Airport. I suggest you call in your order ahead to avoid wait time. Limited self service seating, so takeout is preferable.“

“great food great service“

“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!“

“Delicious steak sandwiches!“

“Ótima comida, muito bem servida!“

“They did a great job with my catering order. They are extremely friendly and accommodating. Everyone at the event loved both the ribs and BBQ chicken. The amount of food was great for the price. I was able to feed and have my guests take home too. Definitely recommend them for your catering needs.“
