“Muy buena atención y servicio muchas gracias por todo muy recomendable 👍“

“Excellent place with affordable food! We come from New York City for these great deals and delicious meals when we’re in NJ. The wait time might be a bit, but you’re guaranteed a fresh meal. The chicken meal with the rice and fries is always tasty, not too much salt, just enough for those with specific health needs. There’s a good portion size and great sauces that they give. Your meal will literally be steaming hot, it can be packed or slow and you’d have the freshest meal. Worth the wait and travel, for less than $20 you can’t go wrong if you have a family to feed for dinner or you want a simple meal for a lunch.

Very appreciative of the server Natalie who always makes the visit a good one. Since we come from so far, quality matters, but Natalie makes every visit worth it. She’s extremely fast, and very kind! It can be super late, slow, or busy and she’s always working hard and serving everyone’s needs. She’s my go to girl at the restaurant, you can’t ask for a better server. I highly recommend going to her for all your needs at the store. She’s very knowledgeable and accommodating, never hesitates to go the extra mile. She’s the biggest reason we have the meal a try, and we haven’t stopped going back since! They’re worth the tolls we have to pay. Always happy to support them!

Thankful to this store for such tasty meals, but wouldn’t have given a try if it weren’t for our awesome server—Natalie!

She deserves credits and so do the cooks at the Chop Spot. Definitely will be coming back always!

Monti and family thank Natalie + the Chop Spot team for a memorable experience!“

“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“

“💯 recomendado comida deliciosa“

“My second time visiting jollof & grill and I brought my friend with me. We were happily greeted upon entering and even got to meet the owner. She’s the sweetest person ever 🩷We ordered the beef suya combo and it was delicious. The jollof rice was flavorful. I love the raw onions and cabbage that comes with it. The beef suya was also cooked to perfection. The plantains were ripe and tasty as well. & Can we talk about portions? You get a lot of food for the price. I shared half w/ my grandma and she enjoyed her food as well. Will definitely be returning in the future!“

The service was attentive, and the environment was clean and comfortable. Overall, a great experience and definitely worth trying!“

“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!“

“Great food descent prices great for parties highly recommended 10 star food“

“I just moved a block away and decided to try this place out since it's so close. The first experience was pretty good. I ordered the spicy pork bulgogi Bowl and it was a lot more than I thought I would get. So that makes the price even better than what I thought it was. I definitely recommend this place I would go back and possibly order for takeout often since it's on my way home.“

“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.“

“I have settled on wilson ave bbq as my favorite ribs and chicken joint in the iron bound. I live in the area, and they have always delivered on time, friendly, with great portions, and delicious. as an example, the cheese steak(with everything) is not like a philly cheese, but it is so damn good. I'm really grateful that a place like this exists near me. Thank you wilson ave bbq!“

“Muy buen servicio y la comida fresca y muy deliciosa“

“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!“

“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.“

“Muy buena comida 👍🏽 Excelente“

“Had a fantastic business meeting at Oporto Restaurant over coffee. The customer service was truly exceptional, making our gathering smooth and enjoyable. The espresso was impeccable, and the accompanying biscotti cookie added a delightful touch to the experience. Sometimes, simplicity makes greatness, and Oporto nailed it. Highly recommend for those seeking a great atmosphere and excellent service for business or pleasure. ☕🍪“

“Its my familys go to Portuguese restaurant in Elizabeth there friendly and the steaks are great“

“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!“

“Awesome tasting food and servings been coming here from Garwood and Clark NJ for years.“

“This place is a hidden gem near EWR (Newark Airport). The owner and his extended family have a number of roles in the biz, and are very welcoming and excited to meet new folks. A taste of Portugese charm, with a focus on the best Bronzino and RibEye you can find outside of the major chains. The wine selection is great, the drinks are poured nice and the food was excellent. IF you have a layover at EWR and time to kill, hop on over. If you live in NYC or in NJ - come try it out. You won't be disappointed.“

“Ótima comida, muito bem servida!“
