“We held a family gathering for about 25 people. We were served family style. We were never rushed and the food was delightful. The service was prompt and friendly. They really paid attention to when we completed each part of the meal before they brought out the next item. Thank you all so “
“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!“
“I have been going here for years and they never disappoint. The food is always fresh and the service is excellent. He is so friendly and welcoming to everyone. His makes you feel like you’re old friends. They always have a customer in me. I refer everyone to go!“

“First time there and the experience was exhilarating. Our Server Kai was patient, attentive and seemed excited explaining to us how to order and use the equipment as well as to show us where the sauce bar is located. The location is clean and the environment was welcoming. Thank you for the experience.“
“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!“
“Love this place! Great food, great drinks, service is always speedy and pleasant. Depending on what time and day you go you'll have a variety of different but interesting people to chat with, unless you just feel like people watching which is fine too.“
“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“
“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.“
“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!! ☺️☺️“
“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“

“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.“
“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 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.“
“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.“
“Cheese fries were crispy, drums were fried perfectly. Great flavor. Hot & fresh. The biscuits stole the show. We also got a discount they have running and it was a great bang for our buck. Thank you. You’ll definitely be seeing us again.“
“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 ????“
“Best chilli dogs in the world. Bar none! I no longer live in the area but I’ve been going there for over 40 years. If it doesn’t snow too much, we may just drive down to Plainfield from the PA tomorrow to have a couple. Don’t sleep on the chilli cheeseburger either. Fire!“
“First time eating in, we have always order combos to go and first time trying their fish, big portions, descent prices, atmosphere is not the best, parking is a pain, they have 4 spots on the back and their parking lot is share. Eating area could use some TLC but if you are there just for the food you are good to go.“
“Great find off Stelton road! Easy to miss as it's in a small nook in the shopping plaza. The beef stew was incredible, sauce was insane. Had to find myself a roll at home to finish it all off. BBQ Pork on a stick also worth the trip alone. Teriyake chicken another winner. Worst part was I didn't bring enough home and the family finished everything off. Will be back!“
“I love ordering food from the Pit from time to time. Their ribs and chicken are always on point !Friendly service and the added outside seating is great.This a great little gem in the town of Bloomfield. Highly recommended!*I always order either the combo or the half order of pork ribs which is plenty of portion for one.“
“The food was very good. I order a burger and fries and the hat kitchen sampler which was very very good. I recommend the latter with what ever you order. The crowd was mixed age and very friendly. The bar maid could have been a little more attentive to my order request as that was my first time there, you know what they say about first impressions. The music was on point. There's also two pool tables and a dart board for your pleasure. An for those who partake there are hookah pipes available too.Suggestion to the owner place a message on the answering machine stating time and days of operation. I almost didn't go because no one answered the phone as I'm not from the neighborhood but I took a chance glad I did. If ever I found myself in orange again I will surely stop by for a bite and to whip some tail on the pool table. LOL!!!“
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!!“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“We ordered catering from North Newark BBQ for a business event, and the food was outstanding. The pork ribs and rotisserie chicken were perfectly cooked and tender, seasoned just right with a flavorful dry rub. We also ordered a seafood platter, which was a big hit! The garlic green sauce paired wonderfully with the freshness of the shellfish. Danny & Cilinha executed my requests flawlessly and delivered everything on time. If you're seeking a unique dining experience, this is the place to go!“
“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 .“
“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!“
“Dinner delivered arrived hot to the neighboring town. Dinner for 4 was 2 servings plus leftovers. The entree portions are large. A variety of sauces come with your order. The food is well seasoned. Grilled chicken was a tad bit dry but the sauce took care of that. Black beans no pork is hard to find in the area. The food is really good. I will order again.“
“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.“
“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.“
“A few weeks ago, I ate at Burnet BBQ #4 because I tasted some of their food weeks earlier at a family gathering. Well, the kindness of the staff, atmosphere and taste of the food did not disappoint. I definitely plan to return in the future when I’m in the area.“
“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.“
“Minus one star for the hairs kind of a turn off (gross) but hey doesn’t get any fresher than that as if they killed it in the back lol… good food tho I was recommended by a customer and this is my honest review. You walk in it def old school vibes the smell of burnt smoky goodness! The pork was good the sauce was good. They have huge amounts of chopped meat in the back on the bone which was cool! I also had the bread pudding but ehh hard pass.. definately one of a kind place everyone should visit all the restaurants over 4.0 ratings in east orange it means they are doing something right!“
“This place is like home. It’s been around for so many years, grew up eating here. So hospitable. The chicken delicious and juicy and everything is made from scratch! The rice and beans yummy! Always on point and everything is ALWAYS consistent, taste and texture has never changed which I love! Because I know what I am expecting already.“
“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“
“One of my favorite dishes at Los Jarros is the vegetarian taco salad. It's made with a bed of lettuce, rice , black beans, pico, cheese, (add jalapenos for spice!) and sour cream. The star of the show, though, is the guacamole. It's made with fresh avocados, cilantro, onions, and tomatoes, and it's absolutely delicious.The whole meal is incredibly flavorful, and it's a great option for vegetarians or anyone looking for a lighter meal. I highly recommend it! Wonderful service every time i order“
“The Lab Truck was hired for our family cookout over the July 4th weekend. I am so glad we did they did not disappoint us. They arrived early for set up and the excitement and anticipation from my family was met with professionalism and great food exceeding our expectations. They were accommodating to everyone young and old. We took a risk trying something different and I’m glad we did. We didn’t have long hours on the grill and could enjoy the day with family. We had other dishes only by choice because like most families we always have more food than we need. I highly recommend and will use them again. It was enjoyed by all. Thank you G and Ashley.!!“
