    1/2 Chicken, Rice, Fries & Drink $10. Can easily feed 2 people.
    Luis G.

    It really should be closer to 3.5 stars. Good spot for lunch in an area of limited options. I'd compare the chicken quality and taste to El Pollo Loco (for the SoCal Yelpers our there). It's an excellent value since there isn't that many quality food options in the area. Hey, at least it beats Burger King & Popeyes.

    1/2 Chicken and ribs combo
    Jeffrey B.

    Algarve BBQ, not to be confused with Algarve Restaurant, or Algarve Fish Market is a corner Portuguese churrasqueria on North Ave. They are a small take-out only, no-frills BBQ specializing in grilled meats served over a heaping pile of fries and rice. Unfortunately, I found it rather unsatisfactory. The prices were good and service friendly, and they seemed busy as well with orders. I went for the 1/2 combo of chicken and ribs with vegetables on the side. There was an unclean taste to the food, as you were tasting the grill, but in a bad way. I was unable to finish the food, even when drenching in hot sauce, which was a disappointment.

    Seafood soup
    Roseanne G.

    Had soup and chicken wings. The soup I had was disappointing. It was creamy seafood soup. Was not hot. It was luke warm and had a really fishy taste. There was 1 big clam in it and croutons on top. Did not taste home made. The Mr had chicken soup. It looked home made and was much hotter than mine. The calamari was rubbery and the sauce had no taste. The chicken wings were perfect. Hot and crispy. The bread on the table was also hot and crispy. The server was very nice. I would like to go back and try an authentic meal and see if they can do better. Was just eh.

    Food was ok. I've had much better. My chicken breast was over cooked and dry as hell. Not going there again.

    The food is great only if you go and pick the food up. Do not order and asked them to deliver it. Two hour wait poor customer service.

    I really miss Portuguese BBQ in NJ from when I used to work in Newark, but rarely come out this way…read moremuch anymore. BBQ joints dotted the landscape in the Ironbound neighborhood. But I found Long Ave BBQ on a Yelp search and on a trip back on I-78, I took a detour through Hillside to pick up dinner. The place reminds me of all the hole-in-the-wall places in the Ironbound with stainless steel covering everything, a brick pit charcoal grill and a giant ventilation hood sucking all the smoke up through the chimney and the whole neighborhood smells like BBQ. One innovation I see is that they use a motorized grill basket system that's constantly turning a bunch of grill baskets with chicken & ribs sandwiched in them. After perusing the menu, I order the Parrillada Portuguesa, a huge family meal for 6 people, that'll last my little family of 3 for 3 days. The PP comes with grilled chicken breast, a half chicken, pork ribs & cross sliced beef short ribs (Korean LA Kalbi style). The slices of chicken breast are too dry and with not a lot of flavor, but the pork ribs have that Ironbound Portuguese charcoal flavor I miss so much (even though a few ribs were a little tough to chew). The BBQ half chicken is alright, but not as much flavor as Peruvian rotisserie style and the short ribs are not as good as Korean style. I think they should do whole beef ribs Southern style, low and slow or even a whole beef brisket would be great. The Parrillada comes with 2 side dishes that are not shy by any means. You get an aluminum tray filled with 1/2 french fries and 1/2 rice that will be enough for 3 meals also! Next time, I would come back just for a full rack of the pork ribs, but I hope that the pitmaster doesn't overcook it.

    So I've been wanting to visit this place for years and today I felt for some bbq. The restaurant is…read moreconveniently found near vermella in Union across from Kean. There is a huge parking lot so there is ample parking even since the area is busy. The restaurant when I arrived was very clean. There was only one person in front of me ordering with a young man. The guy behind the counter was very friendly and patient and helpful to pick out the best of the menu. I ordered the 3 meat sampler with ribs, pulled pork and brisket. None of the sides looked too appealing so I left them out and didn't get the combo meal. To my surprise it was a whopping $30 for the 3 meats. Granted it is certainly enough to feed two people, I was expecting a side of some sort to come with it, a roll, something. Last minute I was given a cold slaw. Taste wise it isn't the best bbq I've had but if you're a carnivore like me...it will meet the need. The pulled pork had too many overcooked hard areas and the ribs were just okay. Will I be back? Maybe maybe not. I didn't eat anything that I would necessarily write home about but maybe.

    Got TGTG from in Nov2025. It was for $9 but the retail value said it was for $27. It's a scam…read more Similar to Target/Amazon black Friday sale, they put a very hight retail price to make it seem like there's value. For $9 it's okay for 1 meal. I probably wouldn't stop by after trying this TGTG. I'd probably have to spend at least $60 to get a BBQ from here and it doesn't seem worth it. I would hit up Red white and Que in green Brook for decent BBQ around the area.
