    BBQ Chicken and yellow rice
    Donna R.

    If your looking for authentic Portuguese barbecue and you don't want to travel to Newark then look no further. This place isn't much to look at, in fact it could use a facelift, but that being said the food is delicious, the portions are a nice size, and the prices are decent. The staff is friendly and attentive. I ordered their BBQ Chicken, it's marinated, seasoned well, and grilled over open flame and they use real wood, which keeps the chicken very juicy. I also ordered their yellow rice and black beans which was a nice accompaniment and delicious. They do have a dining room, but my review is based strictly on take out. The service was fast and efficient. This place is good for kids and they do have outdoor seating. I did not get dessert but I know they're known for their Tres Leche cake. Whether you dine in or get takeout it's definitely worth a try.

    This is a revisit review. After a subpar food experience the first time, my experiences after that have been very delightful. I always for the barbecue short ribs- medium. Ribs are always juicy and tender. Love it when there's just a little bit of fat in it. Ribs pairs really nice with rice. I always like to add the hot sauce. Perfect combination. Recently I tried their T-Bone steak. I was shocked by the size and portion. It's one order served on a catering tray. Huge steak. It was juicy and succulent. My go to spot now. Always order ahead because they need time to cook it otherwise you can enjoy watching them cook the meats on the grill.

    Beef ribs with rice and fries. delicious.

    Went here Pre-COVID and always loved their beef ribs. The portions are pretty huge to me and the prices are reasonable. I love Portuguese food and this place always hits the spot. Their rotisserie chicken is also delicious as well -- very juicy and not at all dry. I would make this my go to spot if it wasn't a wee bit far from me.

    BBQ chicken and pork spare ribs combo, also comes with black or red beans, or fries, or salad. (The black beans are my fav)

    See all

    I was in the mood for Portuguese BBQ and wanted to get some takeout…read more I decided to try Brasa Wood- Fired Grill. I placed my order over the phone and it was ready in 25 minutes for pickup. I started with 2 Beef Empanadas. They were hot with a crispy outside and a soft and tender inside. They were good. Brasa offers a variety of fillings for their Empanadas like Chicken, Pork, or Beef. I then chose for my main dish their Large size Chicken Picadinho. It's enough for two people. I must say after trying many other places that Brasa Wood Fired Grill has the best Picadinho in the area. What makes theirs so good is they add potatoes and sausage in it with the Chicken and Yellow Rice. Their Yellow Rice was very moist and tender it wasn't dry like other places. I really enjoyed every bite. Brasa offers Salads, and a Variety of different Sandwiches, Sides like Sweet Plantains, Mexican Street Corn, Burgers, Shrimp in Garlic Sauce, Wings, Shrimp Ceviche and more. This place is casual with a warm and cozy feel.The staff is very nice and friendly. They do have some seating for dining in. The food is delicious! This will definitely be my go to for Portuguese BBQ.

    Wow, what an incredible find in a random corner behind a gas station in Flemington! We came to the…read moreSanta train nearby and were starving when we got out so we took to Yelp to help us find something yummy to eat and landed here. We were a party of 7 so we had to wait a few minutes for a table since it is a smaller restaurant. But this gave us an opportunity to look at what people were ordering and make the right choice! Here are my two HIGHEST recommendations: get the garlic shrimp with sausage (ask for extra bread) and the half roasted chicken with ribs, get a SMALL side of black beans. The chicken and ribs are enough to feed two people easily, but you truly CAN NOT miss out on these garlic shrimp. I dream of them often and think about taking the one hour drive to Flemington just to get them. The service was also extremely friendly and were not bothered that our kids were playing with Legos on the table and we kept asking for additional orders of things we liked....like the shrimp and sausage. Please do yourself a favor and make sure to go check them out! Did I mention I would definitely be sure to order their garlic shrimp and sausage??

    Ambiance is basic, feels more like takeout. We were greeted in Portuguese…read more I asked for water no ice, first got a glass of ice, finally got tap instead of bottled... still ice. Can't fight it. The waitress talked me down from a full size platter to half size... then said we would like their soup? umm... unclear on what you're selling... but I'll go with the half sized (for one person that is the right amount). Next they brought out bread. Didn't seem fresh baked. I tried the bbq sauce (yellow dispenser) and hot sauce (red), both "meh" flavor, doubt either is homemade. The main course: I ordered cubed chicken. Indeed, the half platter can feed a whole family. But it came with other ingredients not listed on menu. The rice has carrots and peas, also not listed. Sauce was good at least, brown and... well a bit oily and salty though. "Seems like instant rice?" was feedback I heard. Lesson to restaurant: the amount of things that you learn only by receiving your food should be zero. Put everything up front. My stars are coming elsewhere with me.
