I'm not usually a big BBQ person, but I happily make an exception for this place. Their food is…read morecooked so well every single time, and the flavors always come through. The rice is honestly one of my favorites, as it is perfectly seasoned and the ideal side to their BBQ. The portions you get are also incredibly generous. Service is super quick and efficient, whether you're ordering in person or over the phone. Whenever I bring their BBQ home for my family, it's always a hit (never any leftovers). If you're craving great Portuguese BBQ or just want a reliable meal to bring home, this spot is a definite go-to.

I placed my order at the store, went to go pick it up, and when I came back home my order was completely wrong :( I called back the store to address the situation but they did nothing to help me out and wanted me to go back after I was there back to back. Make sure when you call the store that they actually placed your order instead of wasting your time and check your food before leaving the restaurant to make sure you got your right order :(

BEST Portuguese Restaurant I have ever eaten at!! Classic ambience, very clean and efficient!…read more Food-AMAZING! I ordered the MIXED SEAFOOD IN A COPPER POT, and enjoyed EVERY SINGLE BITE! Full of Shrimp, Clams, Muscles, Calamari, 1/2 lobster in an AMAZING broth filled with vegetables and served with Rice! Just OUTSTANDING!! A mixed salad is served first, more oil than vinegar and was DELICIOUS!! Service- Well... EVERYONE I came in contact with was extremely friendly and helpful. I had more than 1 server for my table and found that the "left hand didn't talk to the right hand". When I got a server, they were AWESOME! But as a single diner, I kept having to call someone over for everything-To order, to get a drink refill, to get my check... I was treated like a single diner! The food, and atmosphere and menu are OUTSTANDING!! I WILL definitely will go back and try something else because my meal was GREAT and the menu looked fabulous! GREAT experience...except for 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.

I ordered bbq chicken with mac & cheese and brisket combo with green and rice. Also a side of pulled pork. The chicken has a great crispy skin that you can bite into and delivers the moist chicken thighs that are packed with flavor. You can tell he seasoned the chicken officially because you can also taste the green seasoning used primarily in Caribbean cooking. The Mac & cheese was good, and the baked beans were homemade and tasty. A tad too much nutmeg but overall delicious The brisket was well cooked and the greens were a combo of collards and cabbage that really left a great impression on me. The rice was moist and flavorful as well. The pulled pork reminded me of my time in the Carolina's and that mild sauce put it over the top for me. Overall me experience was great and I would definitely stop by again to try other items like the pulled chicken and the baby back ribs Well done Dr Rodgers!

PS, there is parking in the back but it's tight- I recommend ordering ahead, double parking for a few minutes to grab and go!

You can order delivery I believe through Uber Eats, Doordash or Grubhub but those prices definitely do change and go up so we ordered over the phone and picked up for best value. The service was very nice, it's a family run business and they got out entire order correct which included several platters and the three of their delicious homemade lemonade, strawberry limeade and the blue raspberry lemonade. The establishment is very cute and cozy on the inside, very clean as well.

Everything came hot, fresh, and packed with flavor. The portions were solid too, definitely a full meal. I will say, it gives more Haitian food vibes than Jamaican, but I'm not mad at it at all.

Real comfort food that satisfies every time. Overall: Flavor: 10/10 Portions: 9/10 Delivery: Smooth & on time If you order once, just know... you're probably about to be hooked lol.
