New menu as of 09/26/25.
Ribs were just alright. However the fries and black beans were good. Service was very slow. I probably won’t come back

Did you know they have a super combo? That's right! Ribs! Chicken! Beef ribs! All for one low price?!! The ribs have been phenomenal lately. The fries have gotten way better too lately, less soggy! Ferry St has been dang good. Awesome lunch or dinner spot right in the beautiful Ironbound!

I called in an order for fried pork cubes only, not fried hard. He said okay. I come down there and pick up my order it got olives carrots and shrimps, and etc. I called to let them know that this what I asked and that I’m allergic to peppers. He offered no solution. I will not be back.

Good and bad things to this place:
Excellent food , chicken was my favorite. Beef ribs were very good too !
You get fries and rice for days. Rice looks plain but has good flavor and very well cooked. Fries are just plain , they need salt and seasoning.
It’s controlled chaos once inside. They need to get better at seating people. Place is always packed lines out of the door with people waiting for tables and to go orders. Worth the wait, you will go home smelling like smoke.

This place is a lousy service we asked for a salad they did not bring them and we asked for the meat well roasted they brought everything raw and I asked the manager and he got very upset and had no respect whatsoever sincerely super disappointed and the chicken was spoiled, it had a weird taste, and in the way back to New York suddenly my son started to felt sick and he started vomiting I will never go back to that place, I do not recommend it.
Hey guys! This was my experience for lunch but 2 weeks ago I went and got my dinner from there and found a fly in the rice. It wasn’t pleasant at all but I was already home I couldn’t go back.
For the service be ready to catch attitudes there if you don’t speak their language or look a certain way.
I think the price is ok

Top of my list for best Portuguese BBQ!! This is coming from a Portuguese person. Pricing is on par for the large portions and delicious flavor!! You truly cannot leave this place hungry. The chicken and spare ribs combo hit every time!! Staff is very friendly. No frills, all flavor! Can get very busy.

This restaurant it’s super bad first the waiters were too slow and they take for ever to attend you, and the food it’s really bad they gave our steak literally raw and after we wanted the check and we asked them and they didn’t even bring it so we had to go all the way to the counter and finally they gave us our check. Don’t recommend!!
