“The best decision I made was to order the half chicken instead of the quarter. Cooked fresh to order, bursting with flavor and a healthy meal what more could you want. Know before you go - the restaurant doesn’t look like much and because the food is cooked to order call ahead or be prepared to wait 20 minutes.Absolutely recommend for something different, delicious and affordable. Will be back soon!“
“Great experience, great service! Anais was our server. She’s super friendly and guided us through the menu as some of us were first timers.Huge selection of meats, seafood and vegetarian options to choose from. Highly recommend with a group of friends or a fun family outingKid-friendliness: My daughters loved it!“
“Came back again today. We opted for a more seafood based meal. But we still ordered the standard pork belly and fatty beef. This time around we ordered the Alaskan shrimp (with shrimp roe), snow crab legs, stone crabs... and the famous Spanish red prawns! They definitely didn't disappoint!“
“The best ribs I have ever eaten in my life… I can't go to Perth Amboy without eating my favorite ribs there… and the service is unique and above all personal since it is direct from the owners… I recommend them 100%… change your way of thinking by eat their delicious, fresh and healthy 100% charcoal grills and the best thing is their low prices and the abundance of their dishes...“
“Food is always great! Fresh savory and grilled to perfection.Parking: Not a lot of parking, it’s in a residential neighborhood. You have to valet park if no parking on the street. parking is hard so I always order to pick up and double park.“
“We had a private superbowl/birthday party there..food was delicious and the restaurant was very clean..the owner is so wonderful and accommodating...staff was very friendly and fun! Would highly recommend this establishment! Order early as the food goes very fast!“
“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!“
“So good when I say so good I mean it.... it was so good that after a few bites I had to stop and take a nap. Yes I said it is like Thanksgiving Dinner... the Food is so comforting it melts your soul to make you feel like you are at home. From tenderness and the spices of the Brisket to the beautiful baked beans bountiful of flavor to the creamy Dirty Mac and cheese mixed with the flavourful pulled pork. That is with out talking about the sauces which are amazing. Well done Chefs. ?“
“If authentic Mexican tacos is your thing, this place is where to go! Not only were their tacos big in size, delicious and flavorful, but they had 9 different types of sauces to sample with your chips before your meal. Check them out, you won’t be disappointed. Oh and don’t forget to order their fresh guacamole!“
“Sir Rogers, I found your spot behind the legendary Prison which is known all over the world like the on movie Lock Up and many more. It’s now two months ago that I tasted your delicious and heavenly food, it’s true, it’s real and it’s made with the love for food and ingredients. What I truly can say you got the best BBQ from the east to the south and I traveled more than 20 stops through the USA.Thank you for this amazing experience, the Hawaii guy from Germany.Best regardsJesse Vincent Van BurenSee ya next time, stay blessed“
“I have been coming to McWhorter Barbecue for years. The food, the people, and the ambiance are amazing. And the price can't be beat. This store has been around for years and will continue to do so. It's one of the safe havens in Newark. They will always get my business.“
“We’ve come in here before and the food was great. Tonight was above great! We came in close to closing and were first met with a clean dining area (as usual). Clefson greeted us at the chop block to take our order and his attitude was very pleasant. Taniel followed behind him with an assist and took our side orders. We ordered a medium size brussel sprouts and since it was close to closing, he offered us fresh brussel sprouts. Dazzle finished the order and made check out easy and packaged our food with care. The customer service we received was definitely beyond what we expected. Shout out to the two cooks in the back!!! Came in for a quick bite, left with a good laugh.On a side note, portion sizes were good and love the fact they over fill the side cups.If you’re in the area stop by for a quick sandwich, you won’t be disappointed! It’s worth a try.“
“Hawaii Station is new to our town, and we thought we'd give it a try today and I'm glad we did.When we walked in, we were greeted by the counter person, this is where you place your order, and they bring your meal to your table.My Wife and I ordered from the BBQ Station section of the menu, she ordered the Crispy Coconut Shrimp, and I ordered the BBQ Chicken, both came with 2 scoops of rice and 1 scoop of macaroni salad. The food comes in takeout containers and with plasticware.The servings were generous and the food delicious.We can't wait to work our way through their menu on return.“
“this place is a hidden gem!!! the bulgogi bowls are always so delicious and tender, and the service is consistently amazing!! this sweet young lady even gave me a new item on their menu to try for free! i recommend to everyone!! ☺️☺️“

“Ordered the Asun combo with jollof rice, and I must say this is the best Nigerian restaurant I've eaten from since getting here. It was 10/10. You'll know that the chefs know how to cook, not all these random people selling food here & there.Slightly expensive, but compared to other African restaurants it's just like $2-5 more, so it's totally worth it in my opinion.Can you guys please venture into other things like pepper soup and small chops???I simply can't deal with these other restaurants selling nonsense lol. Thanks in advance.“
“I absolutely love this place. I have a very bad case of long covid since October 2021 where almost everything smells and tastes rotten or sickly sweet. I am able to eat the hot pot miso ramen soup with a lot of different vegetables, and I can have the chocolate cake/cupcakes. So delicious! I can also eat the white rice and the grilled pineapples. Before finding out that I can have all of this, I was losing a massive amount of weight, thank God for the few things that I can have here, I’m able to maintain my weight now. I just tend to go a bit crazy with what I can eat because I’m so hungry from not really eating the other days. The workers are amazing. The manager, Justin is really nice and very funny. The owner Darin is also very nice. Love the atmosphere and the music, I still can’t eat the other things and the smells from the other foods still bother me but I deal with it just so I can eat what I’m actually enjoying there. Thanks kpot for being the first restaurant where I’m actually eating some things that I can enjoy. Highly recommend this place, especially this location. Twenty stars“
“Paulo’s BBQ is a hidden gem catering to the South Plainfield community. The food is fresh and delicious, and the drinks, particularly the spicy mango margarita, is a MUST. The manager, Matheus and his exceptional stsff exceed expectations to ensure every visit is memorable and pleasurable. If you find yourself in the area, don't hesitate to give this place a chance. You'll leave satisfied, guaranteed.“
“We wont ever get enough of Elm Street BBQ. I grew up a couple houses down from this location and am no longer a Newark resident but I refuse to get chicken from anywhere else. So I gladly travel some miles to pick up some delicious BBQ chicken.“
“The space is small, but this is more of a takeout place. The portions are large and therefore you don't need to make many orders and the food is great. Everything is ready when they tell you it will be. you don't have to wait for your order for too long. I definitely recommend as a quick solution if you don't feel like cooking.“
“Typical tasty portuguese barbecue with huge portions. Differently from other places, this one has a liquor license. The place looks like an old diner, very charming. There is parking in the back. Cheap, great for takeout but comfortable for dine-in.“
“I've ordered from here when I lived close.. now I was visiting someone in hospital and had no wallet on me but the owner Carlos and the sweet girl at the counter gave me a monster take home platters of the tastiest BBQ I've had in long time and he just outright gave me the meal without any money truly act of incredible kindness and class... Carlos thank you and God bless you and ur family... much appreciated and will always recommend and eat here forever... thank you my friend“
“(This review is from 2018?...maybe earlier?..so its not a representation of the currently owned one of the same name that i would rate 3½ stars.)We love that Reggianos opened such a friendly restaurant at this location. We live within walking distance which is so nice. The portions never disappoint. The Arugala salad with grilled chicken is huge, fried calamari is really quite good. Good clam pie. Nice portion of zuppe di clams or mussels. The place is a good value, you don't feel like they're trying to rip you off. It can be a bit noisy and loud but in a neighborhoody Italian sort of way so you don't have to feel bored. Beer,wine and 50's music all add to a good time grabbing a bite. They started off with good bread in basket but last year it changed but we usually order at least one pizza so who needs more bread anyway.“
“Very good food. It's a usually busy place for a kind of cuisine that's ubiquitous in the area. They've mastered the art of the order in that your food is cooked fresh and quickly. When in a need for the typical platter, this is definitely the place to go.“
“This place is a diamond in the rough!!! I would recommend this to anyone coming to New York or New Jersey…. The food was amazing we had both steak and sea bass and it was cooked to perfection!!!! The hospitality was second to known!!! It was such a great experience.“
“Located right off McCarter Highway in Newark right by South Street. This Manny's is way different than the others I have visited. A big platter is still $8 and empandas are still $2. I ordered stewed chicken with rice & black beans. Chicken was juicy & falling off the bone, rice was cooked well, not over cooked as were the beans. I ate this food for 3 days as the portion size is huge. I will be back...“
“Food was delicious and portions are great. Only reason for 4 stars is service, the waiter was friendly, but there were issues with food, we asked that no bacon is served for the whole table and when ordering we mentioned again that we didn’t want bacon but the burgers still came with bacon. We waited almost an hour for appetizers to come and right when appetizers came also the mains came after so it wasn’t perfect.Parking: Its the shared parking lot of LongHorn and Olive Garden so it does get busy and at times difficult to find parking spots.“
“This restaurant is a favorite of my family. The owners are portugese and friendly. The food is delicious and fresh and made to order. I order ahead of time, and it's always ready when I arrive. And they know me by name. The only thing is NO PARKING... Have to park on the street...!!!“
“Amazing food, amazing waitress the only down side we wish they had more variety on drinks and cocktails who ever is the owner to upgrade your experience please add wine and cocktails to your menu so the explosion of customers starts to come this is a beautiful spot for elegant and feels private restaurant very quiet just amazing dining experience ????“
“Food is always good to excellent. Good hard working regulars always say hello; many have become good friends. The Portuguese " Cheers" kind of sums it up. Karokee on a Friday or Saturday brings a mix of music from people who just love to sing and to be around good people.“
Chicken Wings • $
“I love their fried chicken wings. Koreans know how to fry some chicken boy! Crispy and juicy on the inside. They package them perfectly as to not get soggy and they stay crispy even when reheating them the right way. The soy garlic are my favorite!! Definitely better than Bonchon!!“
“The drinks and the food here are incredible. But honestly the best part about my experience here was the exceptional service I received from the truly incredible staff that works here. The entire staff was funny and exuberant, made me feel welcomed and quite frankly at home. I was truly grateful to have my gate right next to this establishment and was a perfect send off before my flight!“
“I was in the mood for some biryani and kabab so badly . My husband and I stopped in for a quick bite. As soon as we walked in they were deep cleaning the kitchen area and I took a look and it was all very very clean . The food was served hot and delicious . The workers also very respectful .The place is small and simple but don’t be fooled their food is very yummy . The biryani was really good .“
“This was the best restaurant I’ve been to in a while. We stumbled upon it by accident after striking out with two other restaurants in the area, and I’m so glad we did! The place was elegant, service was friendly and extremely attentive, and the food quality and quantity were impressive! Will definitely return next time I’m in the area.“
“I love this place! The amount of food given for the price is fantastic! I have food enough for 2-3 days with one combo platter. The ribs are SO delicious! My favorite combo is the chicken and ribs combo with fries and yellow rice. And the bbq sauce? I wish I had a whole botle of it! Service is great and the people that work here are so nice.“
“A nice korean BBQ restaurant!I haven’t expected for the quality of meat in a AYCE restaurant, but I can feel how much effort the owner paid.Nice beef, also ribeye and sirloin in this price!!Great pork, the pork in America usually have a bad smelling, but the pork here tastes good, even not worse than 흑돼지 in Korea,Also the instine is good, nice marinaded!The pork skin （껍데기） still have the smells, but it should be understood that chef have did a great job already.(하지만 이거는 어쩔 수 없어요, 사장님 최선을 다하겠습니다! 잘 했습니다!)Also chicken and other marinated beef and pork are good (a little bit sweet than a traditional Korean bbq, but Americans must like it!)And of course the kimchi is great, also made by themselves!The owner is a Korean couple~ very nice people ! Nice service! Great experience !But it’s a pity that signboard is not obvious, maybe customers have no idea open or not.每個用心作餐飲的人們都值得被鼓勵及推薦！사장님 장사 대박 나세요!“
“Food is always great and very consistent. Even on Saturday night, it's ready quickly. We get take-out frequently; at least twice a month. It's so good every single time. One thing I appreciate is the quality of the chicken; so often from other restaurants it's tough or fatty which is gross, but this place's chicken is always cooked correctly with no fatty pieces. Lemon chicken is amazing.“
“By now everybody knows this spot.When you get a chance to come down check-out Burnet BBQ. The Rotisserie Masters in the house. It's perfect every single time. I don't know how they do it I usually get the chicken with steamed veggies and rice.“
“So I stumbled on this place and decided to try it because I was starving. I must say the gentleman that helped me had excellent customer service skills, was funny, courteous and helpful, the food came out pretty quickly, the environment and was clean but more importantly the food was great. Definitely would recommend it and would be ordering from here more often. The only thing i would change is having Portuguese rolls instead of sliced bread.“
“Been here lots of times.. Great place for Portuguese BBQ. Always delicious, lots of options and a very friendly staff. You can dine in or take out.Parking: About 20 spots in the lot next to the building and plenty of free street parking.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu“
“The soup of the day was delicious, and the bread was soft and fresh.Chicken and rib combo is a great deal. Chicken was a little on the drier side but the ribs were great but the massive proportions and great service make up for it.Flan was okay, not the best I’ve had but not bad by any means.“
“I have eaten here, for probably 20 years off and on. Usually delivery, but occasionally have eaten inside. Servers and staff always made us feel welcomed. Food is reasonably priced and portions are good.I had a ladies affair for my birthday yesterday and had it prearranged via Door Dash for 2PM delivery.Food arrived at my home ahead of scheduled time. It was packed well( presentation A plus)and piping hot.Transportated well to my venue almost an hour later, still warm.My guests enjoyed the food( 2 whole chickens, 2 orders of beef ribs, yellow rice, Spanish chips, fries, plantains, fresh steam vegetables, and 2 Seafood Paellas).Good stuff Pic Nic BBQ.“
“I ordered boneless chicken with spicy garlic and cheesling sauce and the quality overall is very good. It was crispy and fried in fresh clean oil. When I asked the worker for more raddish, she welcomely gave me an extra and asked if I needed anything else. I definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a Korean- style bbq chicken restaurant.“
“This place is and has been excellent! Great food, great value, great service.The beef ribs or breaded steaks are excellent!In fact, when my daughter was pregnant, a few times I went in and got her an order of potatoes... they never charged me and the owner is a great guy!You can't go wrong when there's no time to cook and you want good food!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“
“This place knows how to bbq meat! Awesome ...very reasonable price, great, great quality, quick service. And the place was hopping.There were only a couple tables outside to eat, but I guess the place is known as a take out place. Very good, very busy!!“
“This is a take out place for amazing Portuguese barbecue chicken. It comes with rice, French fries, and a roll. The chicken is fall off the bone tender and very flavorful. The price is very reasonable. You can call ahead and place an order for pick up. Parking can be a challenge at certain times so it’s easiest if 2 people go and one runs in to get the food while the other drives around the block. It’s worth the little bit of challenge to enjoy their great chicken and rice!“
“The best Uruguayan style grilled meat in the USA. The friendly and attentive service like the South Americans provide and the quality of the food with the usual preparation care. Meat cooked on a Uruguayan style wood grill in plain sight and at the point of choice. Safety pin.“
“Very nice people. Grilled chicken a little hard and too much seasoning. Actually I would say there is a lot of seasoning on all the meat which makes this not a good dinner spot when I'm feeding my mom. I like it though. Veggies are good and potatoes and salad dressing. Soup is so good. All yummy.“
“Omg! This is my favorite place in Rahway! The people here are so nice and genuinely feel like they’re happy we’re there. This was the first place I visited when I moved to Rahway and continues to be a good time. 10/10 recommend this place, food, drink, ambience, love this place!“
