So good šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ—šŸ—šŸ—
This Portuguese barbecue spot is unreal. Super juicy meats, bold smoky flavor, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. Everything tastes fresh and authentic. Easily one of the most flavorful BBQ meals I’ve had 10/10 and going smash again

I’ve been coming here over 2 years now and they have fantastic food I cannot deny that. My issue lies with the service I received, I got to the location at 2:40pm and was told they ā€œran out of lunch specialsā€ this place was my go to for a quick lunch but not anymore. I was forced to pay $6 extra for the same portion I’d normally receive. When I pointed that out that I’d be paying more for what I should be able to get I was asked how’d I like my meat cook and my concerns were completely ignored. The owner used to be on site all the time no sure where he’s been but this is not how you retain consistent customers. This will be my last visit.

The chicken was exceptionally succulent and tender, truly a culinary delight. The fries were freshly prepared, a far cry from the frozen ones often found in takeout.

We were pleasantly surprised by the option to choose between fries or chips, and we opted for the fries.

The food was so divine that it disappeared in just a few minutes, a testament to its irresistible flavor. Highly recommend it. Now it looks I will be going there from now on!!

Yeah this is definitely one of the best barbecues you'll find. Seasoning-wise. Flavor-wise. The quality of the chicken. The preparation. The juices. Like all of that matters. They hit the spot I asked for charred. Because that's how my people eat we eat well done food. And they did it well done in every context! The rice is delicious and the fries is definitely the bomb because it's the midsize with the skin. It just works. I can't wait to try it with the steam vegetables I had got a half of BBQ chicken you know the usual with the rice and fries. And it was the bomb being the last hour service when folks are usually tired. And still they got it right better than restaurants who just opened up. I'll be back Thank y'all

We have been in the parking lot a hundred times but finally convinced my 7 year old to try something different… it was a hit! Portuguese nachos didn’t stand a chance. To quote my son - 10/10 best French fries ever!!

I order from here for the first time yesterday as a quick dinner for the family…well lemme tell you you were ordering it AGAIN today! My kids are super picky and so am I so the fact that we all loved it just says a lot. Chicken was great fries were great and the rice was awesome wasn’t overly filled with veggies like most bbq places do. I LOVE their bbq sauce idk what kind it is or if it’s homemade idc I love it lol. Definitely my new go to place

Great food in a small place. Someone who lives in the South, I thought it was going to be BBQ. It’s actually grilled but it tastes awesome. Would go back.

Bangin! I don't even leave reviews but i really had to say something. Food was incredible i got ribs . Very basic move probably, but im not that familiar with Portuguese Barbecue, and i love ribs... so anyway I came in for take out to bring back to my hotel, but the cashier and atmosphere kind of just invited me to sit down. I travel for work and pass thru towns all over the place so it's VERY nice when I feel invited to sit down and enjoy food. Then I guess i forgot to order a drink because I was originally planning to take the food out and the owner (who never announced himself as such) just candidly dropped by my table and asked if i would like a drink, then immediately brought me a water bottle . I'm big on small, authentic gestures and I really just enjoyed myself. I forgot i was on a work trip and about to go to a hotel for a minute. Very nice . Thank you very much for the experience of you guys read these!
