Customer Reviews
This place caught my attention when they were running a 1 yr anniversary special 50% off everything. So we decided to give them a try . We ordered chicken platter , piccadhino platter , and mixed bbq platter . They were all full of flavor and hearty servings . The chicken was nice and juicy . The mixed BbQ had ribs which were delicious and the meat came off the bone nicely, sausage was good along with the short ribs and chicken This definitely a good dish to try if you want variety. The piccadhino had good flavor with a mix of pork, chicken beef and shrimp along peppers and potatoes( some of the meat was a little tough but flavors made up for it . Also decided to get the grilled red snapper it was so good . We definitely made out with the portions it feed us for days . They are very casu
Honestly, this place is a gem. The food has always been so yummy and fresh. And the portions are really good. The chicken is moist and juicy not dry. Also, the restaurant is always clean. 👌
Veri delicious food, meat it's not dry it's juicy and tender, seasoning is good, i love it!!
I’ve been coming to Elmora BBQ 2 for a while now, and the food has always been solid. The chicken and ribs are always fresh and the portions are good. Staff is friendly and the place is clean every time I stop by. Not sure what’s going on with some of these reviews lately, but my experience has consistently been good. Definitely recommend giving it a try.
I tried this place out since it's local to me and I figured it's a new spot so why not. I ordered my usual I would get at a Portuguese spot..half beef ribs w/ rice & fries. When I got my order it was a good portion and smelled decent. However after taking the first bite it was an immediate no. The rice was hard and not boiled to that soft fluffy texture I'm used to at other Portuguese spots and on top of that it was salty. Now for the ribs it was an absolute no for me. These beef ribs had so much fat on them and had NO TASTE to it at all. I literally took one bite and had to spit it out and threw the whole thing in the garbage..it made me sick to my stomach to see how much fat was on it. Not sure how someone could feed that to people. You can tell their meat quality their using is not good
