“This is a hidden gem. I tried this restaurant out because so many satisfied customers. I tried the candied wing dinner which came with 2 sides; I had the yellow rice and string beans. I have say the wings were phenomenal!!!! The service is great and everyone that works are very welcoming. Everything was freshly made, so it pay to order and pickup. I look forward to trying the other menu items...to be continued 😋“

“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.“

“Liz and Jayden are the consumate non-GenZ, GenZ'ers ? Entirely kind, efficient, and respectful to our family. We don't usually ask people's names, but these kids added a whole new category to service ! Thank you Longhorn management for having a keen eye with regards to hiring practices. Still the very best Longhorn out of the entire franchise hands down. God bless and Thank You ! 👌🙏 (Only 4 ☆'s on atmosphere as it's always so God awful 🥶 In here ?) They had the AC adjusted for us though following our complaint..😉“

“Being a truck driver you are very happy when you can get hot delicious food delivered to you at your convenience. The hot wings were great.They were delivered in a timely manner with great service as always. I’ve had the fried chicken in the past and it was also good but I must say the Buffalo Wings are now my new favorite.“

“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“

“Fantastic food, experience, and people! I had the Butter Chicken with rice and it hit the spot! Quality, fair prices, and full of flavor. I have a lot more dishes to try so I'll certainly be back sooner than later!! 😋👍👍“

“Was there for the first time tonight and plan to be back again soon. The place is fantastic. First off, Dave (I am assuming the owner) and Danny our server, were super gracious and inviting and offered some great suggestions. I had the birria tacos which were great. We were a part of 4 and everybody loved their meals. My wife is a vegetarian and there were plenty of options for her. The guacamole was perfect. Street corn appetizer was fantastic. I highly recommend! Best Mexican food in East Brunswick.“

“Anáis is a great server I recommend her she is the best“

“Awesome food. Great atmosphere. Coleslaw is a must. Highly recommend“

“Found this restaurant by chance and had a wonderful lunch for four of us. The food was great - The rodizo platters were cooked just as ordered. The staff was attentive and professional. We will go back!“

“We ordered our thanksgiving dinner from here, and everything was AMAZING! Turkey, cornbread stuffing, Mac & cheese, mashed potatoes and apple crumb pie for dessert. Everything was delicious! We always love their food & would highly recommend!“

“very good and a nice guy.“

“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!!!“

“So for food we decided to order the corn bread, Mac & Cheese, Burnt ends and brisket cheesesteak.

The corn bread was awesome. So fluffy and full of flavor.

The Mac and cheese was delicious. I found myself adding a piece of burnt ends along with it, and you couldn’t go wrong.

The burnt ends were the star of the show. Incredible flavor and were nice and tender.

The only somewhat disappointing item was the cheesesteak. It was good but not something I probably would order again.

Overall good time - wish they had more tables or space, but it’s a nice lil spot“

The service was attentive, and the environment was clean and comfortable. Overall, a great experience and definitely worth trying!“

“My wife and I ate at Ford's in late December 2024. Boy are we glad we did! After seeing the reviews here and elsewhere, it was very clear we had to come here while we were in the area, and now we know why! We had never experienced Portuguese BBQ before, and holy moley, was it delicious!\n\nI had a lunch-sized chicken and pork ribs combo, and my wife had the lunch-sized chicken and beef ribs combo. All of the meat was absolutely sensational, well cooked, seasoned well, and just melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The BBQ sauce that came with it was also tasty, but honestly we felt like we didn't even need it because the meat was so tender and juicy.\n\nThe fries and yellow rice were also very tasty.\n\nAnd even when you get the lunch-sized portions, you get TONS of food, like we both got more than enough for both lunch and dinner.\n\nThe gentleman behind the counter was very friendly and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed to enjoy the meal.\n\nI'm not sure when or if we'll be back in the Fords/Woodbridge area, but if we are, we will definitely put this on our "must do" list every time.“

“Muy buena comida 👍🏽 Excelente“

“muy buen servicio muy rápido muy rica la comida todo muy bien un ambiente muy agradable la verdad y riquísima la comida 100% recomendado“

“Jersey Joe’s is truly the best. They catered a large bbq I hosted this summer and did a phenomenal job, I’m still getting compliments on the food even now. This was the first large event I was hosting at my new house, and I was worried I bit off more than I could chew, but jersey Joe’s made everything so much easier for me. I didn’t have to worry at all, they took care of set up and clean up, they packed up all the extra food and even put it in my fridge for me, and all my guests raved about how kind all the workers were. I’d give them 12/10 stars!“

“Bar service is excellent . Avoid wait times by going directly to bar. The bartender, Victoria, is excellent, and combines excellent professional skills with a terrific personality!“

“food is great and friendly staff.“

“My favorite item is the Tropical Tuna poke bowl. It’s a generous portion and everything is super fresh. The dining area is simple but cute and the staff is always friendly. I definitely recommend giving Hawaii Station a try. It’s one of my local favorites.“

“this AYCE KBBQ spot is now part of my family’s rotation. the meat is always good and we love that they’re adding new items to the menu. we always get the cube steak, cast iron steak, pork belly and pork jowl. the staff cooks and cuts the meat for you and are attentive so that nothing burns. they also have some great sides like the beef soup, crab soup (must try if you like crab) and popcorn chicken. great spot to up your protein intake.“

“Its my familys go to Portuguese restaurant in Elizabeth there friendly and the steaks are great“

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

“Perfecto para compartir en familia, Comida sabrosa . Lo recomiendo. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This is the combination I didn’t know I needed until I had it and can’t live without it now! When you walk in, the beautiful BBQ smells grace you along with a friendly welcome. We had the half and half - the jerk pork was so tasty and the jerk chicken was to die for! The meat is tender and flavorful. The rice is a surprising main character to accompany the meats. Must try spot!“

“This place is a hidden gem near EWR (Newark Airport). The owner and his extended family have a number of roles in the biz, and are very welcoming and excited to meet new folks. A taste of Portugese charm, with a focus on the best Bronzino and RibEye you can find outside of the major chains. The wine selection is great, the drinks are poured nice and the food was excellent. IF you have a layover at EWR and time to kill, hop on over. If you live in NYC or in NJ - come try it out. You won't be disappointed.“

“Great food! Highly recommend!“

“full rack with devils spit sauce“

“Exceptional.....if ur lucky enuff to find parking...ur lucky enuff“

“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!“

“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.“

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