★★★★★ 5.0 Jennifer Marotti · Feb 2026

We had a party of 9 and planned on going to Tops Diner before a concert at Prudential Center on Valentine's Day. They weren't taking reservations and when we got there, the wait time was going to be close to 2 hours, time we did not have. A quick internet search brought us to Pic-Nic. My husband called and spoke to the owner, I believe his name was John, and explained our situation and that we had 2 disabled people in our party. He made sure we had a parking spot and sat us right away. Needless to say, the food and service were excellent. Will definitely be back

Good taste and big portions Better to ask the server how big it is

★★★★☆ 4.0 Ericka Ubilla · Jan 2026

My husband and I come here one or twice every quarter. Our go to are: clams casino and fried calamari (apps). The churrasco is a miss or hit. First time, it was great along with the baked potato. Today, ehhhhh a bit chewy and potato lacked flavor. Same with chicken pasta dish, it was delicious. Second time around it was just not it! On the other hand, the mariscada or paella is always good. Carlos is amazing! The guys appear serious, but are nice.

Best Portuguese restaurant! Top quality food with great service and atmosphere. Daily specials and also BBQ chicken (churrasco) also available to go.

★★★★★ 5.0 Daisy Estrella · May 2024

We had our 2nd event here at Picnic and the staff was amazing just as the first time we were here 5 years ago. We dealt with Carlos who did a great job with communication and making my little girls communion day a great one. They are very accommodating and exceeded my expectations. Will definitely return.
