If you dine in they will put a 18% gratuity. They don't put it in the menu they don't even tell you until the end. No party of 5 or more just one person went in to have lunch. I dont mind tipping that's not the problem the problem is adding gratuity one for one person eating. The server or counter person because he is not a server was having his lunch and drinking wine on the job and never check on me. Just take out the seats and have is be a take out place only that way you never have to deal with people not tipping for your horrible service. The food was good put stop putting that nasty pickled vegetables on top of the rice your messing up the rice.Parking: You can do laundry and go eat lunch and pay 18% gratuity and do a little shopping at the dollar store and work out in the gym.

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!

Upon walking in we felt like family. Very welcoming and inviting. The server was on day 2 of training and was very observant and helpful. Very respectful young man. I’ll be back because the service was top tier. Now let’s talk about the food delish! Hot and fresh. I even ordered extra so i can have left overs. Ribs were very flavorful you didn’t even need bbq sauce. The rice and beans omg the beans. The hot sauce was so good. I poured all over my rice. The steak was well done at my request and still very tender. The onions on top i kept eating them alone. My man had the mussels with his meal and i don’t eat them but the sauce was so good i kept dipping the bread in it. The bread was toasted perfectly so good. This place is on the up and up I’ll most definitely be back and bring family and friends with me. Please give them a chance if you are in the area.

Just had the most delicious lunch @ Craven. My coworker and I were looking for a chicken & Rib spot in the area and THANK YOU lord for google. The owner happen to be taken care of us his recommendations were spot on. Highly recommend this place for a quick bite or nice evening out with the family! Looking forward to coming back to try other dishes. How can I forget to mention BYOB. Continue success to my new friend and PLEASE never change those delicious Portuguese favors. ???

I love the food here. I’m from Elizabeth so I’ve been around many Portuguese restaurants and this one is one of my favorites. The food is delicious, affordable, the owner is very kind, the staff is sweet and even the playlist in the background is good. I like dining in here because it’s clean, spacious and comfortable. I really like the beef ribs, steak, and garlic shrimp!

I walked into the establishment and the younger gentleman was on the phone servicing a customer so I waited. There is an other gentleman who then came behind him (wore a striped hat) who did not address me at all as I stood in line. He then proceeded to pick up another phone to service a customer. I continued to wait. After a few minutes, the younger gentleman acknowledges that I’ve been waiting and motions that he would take me shortly. A couple proceeds to walk into the establishment and the older gentleman inquired about the reason for their first from the moment they walk in while I stood there, still awaiting to be serviced. That truly made me feel uncomfortable and overlooked as another customer awaiting her food looked at me as this transpired. They have good empanadas but the service was disappointing.

These empanadas are some of the best I've ever had! Crispy, well cooked, not greasy, packed with meat and flavor. I could easily eat half a dozen.
