J J Restaurant & Takeout

Couldn't decide between seafood or the bbq chicken, I picked the bbq chicken because it was the most recommended. It did not disappoint. Fresh, juicy, flavorful, and big portion that can be shared by 2 people. And you will be served with complementary delicious chickpea salad and bread. I loved my authentic Portuguese food experience! Definitely recommend this welcoming, authentic, and underrated Portuguese restaurant.

The owner is very kind and the food was great! I loved their complimentary bread, chickpeas and butter, and their steak 🥩 and cod fish were really good! The cod fish was a bit on the saltier side but if you eat it with the potatoes that come with it, it balances it out 🥔🐟. Also, the portions are really huge!

YES, DO COME - the food is stellar!! I have a very picky Spanish friend who does not appreciate Boston Spanish restaurants ("non authentic") but adores the authenticity of Portuguese food in this place. I had Bacalhau Lagareiro (grilled cod, baked potatoes and olive oil) and oh boy, I already want to come back and have it again.

I was initially kinda scared to go in cause the place is a small convenience store in the front. I’m so glad I decided to eat there cause the food was damn delicious. Portions are huge, food is super tasty, service is great. The only issue is the place is literally the back part of a convenience store so if you can look past that you’ll enjoy some of the best Portuguese food around.

Hole in the Wall Restaurant that offers heartwarming Portuguese fare. With its modest facade, one may walk past without giving it a second glance, but step inside, and you'll be embraced by a warm, local atmosphere replete with the comforting aroma of home-cooked meals. Before even perusing the menu, the complimentary Graco de Bico salad, served with the bread basket, set the tone for the meal. A simple ensemble of garbanzo beans, bell peppers, and onions seasoned with olive oil and vinegar, it whetted the appetite, highlighting the beauty of humble ingredients. The appetizers, Bolinho de Bacalhau (Cod cake) and Rissois de Camarao (Shrimp cake), each encased in a golden, crispy shell, were a study in contrasts. While both were delicious in their own right, the cod cake stood out with it
