I have been going for multiple years and the atmosphere is great. The food is very authentic, flavor full and great sized portions for a fair price! You can tell how passionate and the time they put in to make it fresh when you come to pick it up! I recommend for everyone to try themselves!

Amazing Fresh Portuguese BBQ – A Must-Try! Charcoal BBQ in Berkeley Heights is an absolute gem! It’s a small, cozy restaurant located right by the train station—literally, the train runs right behind it! My mom and I discovered this place through the To Good To Go app, where you can get discounted food. The photos looked great, so we decided to give it a try. From the moment we arrived, we were hit with the most incredible aroma—you could smell the delicious BBQ cooking from outside. The restaurant itself is very cute and welcoming, though it does have a large step at the entrance, so it's not wheelchair accessible. The owner, who also cooks and serves the food, was incredibly kind and hospitable. For To Good To Go, they offer a set meal of half a chicken with rice and veggies, and it w

Portuguese Food is not disappointing and portions are bigger then most places even take left overs home. Always will return to this place and it’s a cool location because the New Jersey transit come thru ( Berkeley Heights train stop ). Amazing to watch the train to pass by while eating. Service can be super busy but worth every minute to wait for your food. The staff is super nice and inside feels like mom&pop restaurant ( could be warm due to humidity of grilling inside but food is worth the bites ).

EXTREMELY horrible experience. I use Too Good to Go to try new places and feed my son who seems to be perpetuity starving. I decided to try this establishment that's 20 minutes from my house. The service was atrocious. Upon entry I was ignored, no greeting. The customer in front of me had an issue with his order, so I waited to be served. When the woman behind the counter finally gave him his order after almost 10 minutes of apologies, she also gave him what I can only assume was my order as a courtesy, "here have this To Go order too". After he left, she continued to ignore me, doing other things and talking to the cook for 2 more minutes. She finally says very matter of factly..."can I help you"? When she realized why I was there, she said, "he make your fries," motioning toward the c

Cozy restraunt with astonoshing portions for the price. I had a delicious soup and bbq pork ribs. There was so much I had to ask for a to go pan. One of the rare times I tipped the max amount and felt like it wasnt enough. Highly reccomend eating in this is the type of food that just tastes better fresh.
