Portuguese Restaurants near Union, NJ

“Excellent food and the exceptional service given by the waitresses Lucy with her friendliness and attention to all customers“

“amazing tasteful food and not to mention how much food you get for a great price. wonderful customer service as well.“

“When I used to work in the Union area, one of our favorite stops for a hot meal was Burnet BBQ. Today I had work in Union again, remembered Burnet BBQ, but it turns out that store II was closer to my location. Turns out that the food is as great as the original, and lots of take out orders and constant rotation of customers showed lots of people agreed. Got the 1/2 ribs, which would fill up a truck driver, and the counter staff were very nice. Go there when you re really hungry, and see if you can finish all that food. Recommended“

“Everything was delicious. Food was fresh, warm, hearty, savory and satisfying. Great service! Comfortable atmosphere. A great option for family meals, when unable or unwilling to cook at home. 😁 Good sized portions. I had the Chicken in Garlic Sauce with rice and beans. My friend has the BBQ Ribs and Chicken with Rice, Cabbage and Boiled Potatoes. This spot has been added to my weekly meal rotation.“

“We had a really wonderful experience dining here with our family. Even though our group ended up being larger than expected, the manager, Kayla, was accommodating and made sure we were all seated together. Our waitress, Mo, was also great as she was attentive, and patient with our large party. We came for brunch this time and I'll definitely come back again for the the dinner experience.“

Food is always delicious and fresh, and prices are remain incredible. Hope they don’t raise the prices because they will always be our go to for comfort food! Where else can 4 people eat and have leftovers for $35??“

“I am gushing over the meal we had here. From amazing craft cocktails to an unforgettable dinner. Raphael, Julia, and Louis spoiled us. The cocktails were in fun glasses and were light and flavorful. The service was impeccable. We let them order for us. Octopus starter, then onto hanger steak, roasted chicken, sea bass, and the pork stew. All incredible with deep rich flavors. We had some great sides, a light salad to finish, and a lovely passion fruit desert. I can't say enough about this place.“

“I’ve eaten here two times. The ladies behind the bar are extremely friendly and attentive. The meals are tasty with generous portions. I’m not a huge fan of French fries, but these are so good and taste homemade! The salad was delicious and the garlic pork chops were excellent. My friend had grilled salmon and enjoyed it. The prices are affordable and they even have a $4 glass of house wine that they fill to the rim; you can’t beat it! My only complaint is that it is extremely warm in there. Other than that, I highly recommend.“

“Super la comidas muy buena“

“If you like Spanish Portuguese food, this will satisfy whatever you feel like steaks to chops to fish to Mariscos 🦀. I took an order of garlic pork chops which were delicious and a great value to go for dinner later! The waiter I don't know if I'm spelling it right, Solo was terrific and attentive and he had a full bar to deal with too! I will probably go there today again!

“exelente lugar muy buena atención comida muy buena“

“Comida muito caseira e boa“

“Great food. Sangria service“

“I’ve been ordering from The Pit for years the staff is always friendly, and the food is consistently fresh and flavorful. No complaints there at all.

That said, I wanted to give a heads-up for anyone ordering the beef ribs half combo. I recently ordered the same half beef rib(S) and chicken combo I’ve gotten in the past. Typically, when I order the half beef rib(s), I receive 2–3 beef chuck ribs. This time, however, I only received one rib — which was surprising, considering the plural wording and my prior experiences.

I called and spoke with Jeff, who was respectful and upfront. He mentioned that the combo only includes one beef rib and that prices have gone up (which I totally get). Still, based on my regular orders over the years, I’ve never received just one rib until now. Either way, I appreciate his transparency.

For context:
• Half chicken combo = ~$11.95
• Half beef rib(S) & chicken combo = ~$16.95

So if you’re expecting multiple beef ribs, you may want to reconsider and go for the chicken or pork ribs instead both still come in hearty portions.

To be clear, this isn’t a complaint just advice for fellow regulars or first-timers who may be surprised by the term beef rib(S)with a single rib. I’ve even added pictures in photos comparing what I received vs. the half chicken combo.

Bottom line: The Pit remains a solid spot with delicious food, generous sides, and great service just be mindful of the current beef rib portions when ordering.“

“Ótimo atendimento , comida boa , preço excelente“

“Excelente servicio y la comida. Deliciosa. 🤗🥰“

“great food great service“

“This is my first time eating Portuguese food and I must say that I had a very good experience with them. The flounder with the spanish rice and sauteed veggies were on point! I also had the chourito and camarno which is sausage and shrimp in a garlicky hot sauce which was divine! the espresso was a nice finish to the meal. I highly recommend trying it out. André our server was very nice and attentive and the chef and everyone cooked the food to perfection. Give Algarve a try!“

“Delicious steak sandwiches!“

“One of the Best hole in the wall places, with the BEST tasting chicken I've ever had.
Would drive for miles to go there. And usually my first stop when arriving to Newark Airport. I suggest you call in your order ahead to avoid wait time. Limited self service seating, so takeout is preferable.“

“Ótima comida, muito bem servida!“

“ABSOLUTELY GOOD. I would recommend going here if you live in New Jersey. The food was cooked really good, the staff were very nice and we payed $72! ,which isn't bad! The only thing is that it's so popular! That we had to wait for our table, BUT.. it only took us 7 minutes to get our table! Employees were SUPER NICE.“

“I met a couple of my old coworkers there December 20th after 4 years. I wanted to go to a highly rated family-run place and this establishment didn't disappoint. The burgers, meatloaf and pita wraps were excellent. The owner Vinnie greeted us and seated us, then came by to chat with us. The server was attentive and seemed to like her job. About a 15 - 20 minute walk from the Harrison PATH station. I will be making future visits there with old collegues.“
