Soursop Cranberry Ginger
Curried Beef Lumpia
Coconut Glazed Plantains
Jerk Mushroom
Jerk Chicken

I really enjoyed the drink and the Lumpia the most! All in all a really good experience!“

“The food is consistently very good. The service is great and the people are super friendly. Love this place.“

“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“

“The food is phenomenal. I ordered the chicken Tikka masala and it was so, so good. I was a little surprised it doesn't come with rice, but I had some ready made at home so it was fine. The charcoal oven definitely adds a lot of deliciousness to the dish.

If I have a complaint, it would be don't order the tea online. You only get about 4 oz of tea for 3$, not good, but food wise, you get a very generous portion.“

“Big Ed’s BBQ is a really great establishment. Amazing food and service. However, I think it should be against restaurants to make their customers pay a 18% gratuity automatically on the customers bill. The customer should choose their prefer tip. This should be illegal!!!“

“I've been going to Leo's for years now.... Super Friendly Staff/Great Food. The best Barbecue Sticks in New Jersey.... 😉 😀 John“

“If I could give Jersey Joe's 10 Stars out of 10 I would! They were so incredibly easy to work with, and the food was delish! I had some scheduling issues with my party, and had to move the start time a couple of times. They were so accommodating with the changes and very communicative. Then, on the day of the party, the staff was so courteous and detail oriented. Lastly, ever single person asked me who the caterers were because the food was so good. We did the luau buffet and everyone went for 2nds. I will definitely be calling them again for future catering needs!“

“Amazing food and amazing service. The guy manning the place is very friendly and very respectful, I definitely recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a bite to grab.

Also, I got the butter chicken roll, I highly recommend!!“

“My wife and I have been coming here for years and never had a bad experience until recently. The last two times we visited, the service and food quality were not the same. When I walked in and greeted the young gentleman at the counter, he didn’t respond — just gave me a sour look without saying a word. It left a bad impression.

Also, even though we picked up the food within 20 minutes like they said, it was cold and the fries were stale.

We’ve always enjoyed Estrela da Serra BBQ and hope this was just a rough patch. Hoping for a better experience next time.“

“Everything! The food and service was excellent!We love it!“

“full rack with devils spit sauce“

“I like to go with friends to this place with my warmest recommendations. I visit this restaurant often. This recommendation is always successful. The meals are yummy and the stuff is welcoming and cooperative. always when we go to this place we pass a cheerful time. warmly recommended.“

“Chicken and ribs are the best ❤️“

“Best long horn location I’ve been too. The food isn’t done anything different, but it fresher and to me they put effort into it. The staff are all friendly and welcoming. Been here three times in a 6 month span with two different waiters and they treat us like regulars.“

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

“A place that surprised me; a spectacular octopus, its texture perfect, served on a bed of al dente vegetables and delicious potatoes. Actually from the bread and the house olives which are a spectacle. Going through their traditional Portuguese wines, everything was more than wonderful. Price quality ratio 10/10. I will definitely return.“

“Great neighborhood Portuguese restaurant. The place is small and sometimes there is a wait but it's worth the wait. The food is delicious and consistent. The sangria is great and a must-have with anything you order. The service on this particular day was slow, but the staff is young, so have some patience. Takeout is also very popular so you know the secret is out...this place has great food!“

“Your local Pakistani eatery with authentic flavors“

“Great food! Highly recommend!“

“Everything about was straight up PERFECTIOÑA!!! My server Camille was on point & was 5 star worthy!!! She made sure I was doing alright with my food, always have a smile on her face, and everything in her performance was everything to perfection at Texas Roadhouse!! I know I work there, but no other can beat TXRH North Plainfield!! They always give their 210% everyday, and we always deliver the best over here!! Love this place since 2015!!“

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

“Great food right off the grill. Excellent family friendly place“

“Not a huge fan of spicy food because my stomach doesn't handle it too well but I must say that the food is good. I got a butter chicken bowl with rice and veggies and it had a tiny kick to it. It was delicious and I handled the spice just fine. Also like the vibe of the place and the friendly service.“

“Chicken hawaiian, garlic shrimp, bbq skewers“

“Best BBq for your buck, seasoning is on point. Only only bad thing is if your dining in, since there is no ac you will be very uncomfortable and sweat while you eat which no one wants. Foods amazing, staff is great, just too hot to dine in the summer. In the spring, fall, and winter it's chill just don't recommend eating there in the summer. Please go thought and get take out.

Parking: There's only a few, about 4 spots to park around the restaurant, if those are taken which usually are you must park blocks down the road.“

“Service is very poor waiters no type training seat you and just leave you food burning up on grill“

“I love coming to this location in particular for the Korean BBQ Wings - I’ve tried just about every sauce but the (Soy Garlic) flavor is by far my favorite. These wings are super fresh, hot and boasting with flavor. Respectfully speaking these actually taste so much better than Boom Boom chicken.🐔 🍗“
