The food is really great but the waitresses working here are in need of some education, Dina’s sister specially, she’s the type of person that if she doesn’t like you she would say offensive things out loud so you can hear her, no matter how hard you try to avoid any contact with her she would use a phone or a video on the tv to make offensive comments/criticize the people that come to this place to eat! Haters like her should be fired on the spot!!! I just hope Rui or his wife reads this review because it’s totally unacceptable!!!

I was really excited to try Espresso Portuguese American Grill, as I had heard good things about it. However, I was very disappointed with my experience. I ordered the grilled chicken and the grilled fish. Both dishes were very dry and flavorless. The chicken was so dry that it was almost tough to chew, and the fish was bland and tasteless.Overall, I was very disappointed with my experience at Espresso Portuguese American Grill. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

The steak on the rock is delicious. Great service is only given to their regulars. And the atmosphere is not family friendly. I went on a date and took them 20 mins to even give us a menu then another 15 mins before they came to ask what we would like to drink. Finally, by the time they came around with our drinks and asked what we would like, it had been 50 mins. While the whole time they were socializing and take care of the men at the bar and men at the tables

Espresso is a nice tradition I have with my dad and we try to come here as often as possible. The atmosphere at the bar is very friendly with several regulars and the lovely girls at the bar are very welcoming. I loooove the grilled chicken and usually order it but you can never go wrong with their daily specials. It's one of my favorite places to catch soccer games!

Real deal Portuguese food and drinks, not fancy but delicious... tons of Portuguese at the place makes the experience slightly better, thinking that you are there in a way. They have daily dishes that are typically super good and different things to try out. Stop by if you can.

The waitress tried her best, however the ambience was very bad, with lots of noise. The cod itself was the tail and not the main part. Waste of time coming here.Kid-friendliness: None, not at all friendly for kids.Wheelchair accessibility: None, whatever.

The Portuguese American Restaurant is Manassas, VA provides unique foods from the Ibero Peninsula including seafood delicacies like sea food paella and stone grilled chicken that makes any meal delightful. We also tried the garlic shrimp sautéed plate, and it was delicious! Excellent service and very pleasant atmosphere. ?

An unassuming exterior with a smallish parking lot, but the food and the staff are way above average. If you are not familiar with Portuguese cuisine, the servers generally (if not terribly busy) take the time to carefully explain the menu and answer your questions. Good, authentic food prepared and served by genuinely nice people.

Amazing Restaurant brings the service to a ultimate level of passionate impression where everything is Spanish/ European style. This is cool to admit it's a fantastic area. Although it's brilliant what they server there. Improve the best details in the adventure of European environment. Espresso Portuguese Bar Fest is the Spanish/Portuguese Restaurant where they make decent cuisines base on what is made in and came from Kingdom Republic of Portugal and European Union. The food they have is similar to Spaniard and Spanish Cuisine. It's different from Spanish/ Latin Food what the have there. Really? Yes. They got great quality fest on what they make in their popular dish. Sure it's well impressive on the food they proceed to many customers guests too. Do they make great food? Of course they do their cuisines came from Portugal southwest Europe. Those staff are fantastic, impressive friendly relatives plus they have television sets to watch soccer in the dining center and the bar section. They enjoy watch television shows that represents their hometown with their language. Is it really? Indeed it is. It's one of the most popular restaurant bars in the world. 100%
Just a girl from NJ who wanted some Portuguese food…..it was delicious and I will come back ?

I wish I had the opportunity to give this restaurant 5 starts. I came tonight at almost 10:pm. The open sign was on and there were plenty of people inside. Once we came inside, we were greeted with a scowl from an apparently angry woman saying that they were closed. Fine, my apologies. We were met with “No food! Buy drinks!” Oook. We left the establishment and were blocked in by a big black truck that was burning his tires for about 3 minutes while people were yelling “We Portuguese are crazy!”We have lived in this area for years and are both ethnic people that want to support other brown people. This establishment showed me that if you’re not a regular Portuguese customer, don’t go. I’m sure their food is good but I’ll travel when I want to indulge and find another spot that doesn’t seem so dangerous and prejudice, especially against others just wanted to patronize and support your establishment.

Still real good but portions of seafood reduced compared to the past. I would prefer they raise prices and keep the presentation up. But still very good.
