Portugalia Bar & Restaurant

Stopped here unplanned and it was truly such a great experience! My husband and I shared the lunch special of thin steak with sides, and it was delicious. We will definitely be back when we are back in the Ironbound area. Great lunch today.

Nice place for a drink at the bar accompanied with famous whole BBQ chicken or fried calamari. Pale in color French fries did not impress, dirty half-full ketchup bottles were disappointing. Cod fish Portugalia style and seafood rice were very good. The atmosphere of the place was average overall but food is mostly delicious.

I ordered a whole barbecue chicken for $18 over the phone when I went to pick it up. It seemed like and I asked if it was a whole chicken. I was told yes when I got home one hour later, I had two wings two drumsticks and a neck bone. Horrible horrible experience. I live over an hour away so there was nothing I could do about it but I paid for a whole chicken and I got not even a half ..no breast meat at all. The pan looked like someone had eaten chicken from it. . It is not right. I highly discourage anyone from ordering takeout from that restaurant.

Great place for dinner. Sit down side and bar service side. Well staffed and excellent Portugese food. Many seafood options. Prices are reasonable. Eaten there a dozen times will on the way to Newark airport.

OMG the stewed Bacalau was huge and delicious! The grilled grouper was a bit bland so I asked for a garlic sauce; the potatoes and veggies were very good. Tres leches cake was most más not too sweet.
