McWhorter Barbecue in Ironbound offers delicious Portuguese BBQ at unbeatable prices. The pork ribs are a standout, perfectly cooked with just the right amount of charcoal and saltiness. Customers recommend the giant combination tray, featuring pork ribs, chicken, and rice for a reasonable price. The quarter chicken with rice and beans for $10.00 is a popular choice that feeds multiple people. Sides like fries, salad, or beans are preferred over the fishy-tasting rice. The family-friendly restaurant provides great service and accepts cash, Zelle, and Cash App. Known for its fresh and tasty food, McWhorter Barbecue is considered one of the best in New Jersey for traditional Portuguese BBQ. The restaurant features simple meats cooked over an open flame and is a great stop before or after a visit to Prudential Center. Customers praise the friendly, family-owned atmosphere and the delicious, speedy service. While the food quality remains high, some reviews suggest the place could benefit from a clean-up, a paint job, and updates to improve the overall appearance. It is regarded as one of the safest and best places to eat in Newark, making it a popular spot for locals and visitors alike.
