Whole BBQ Combo

I really love this place but could you please stop being cheap with the piri-piri sauce ? Thank you The picture is the actual amount that was given to me, at this point I'm ready to purchase 5oz of this from you Loll!

Beef Steaks

Very happy with my order. I've had their food in the past but i was very hungry yesterday and this hit different! I was swarmed by kids in my house begging for some because the smell appealed to their senses. I was not aware of the curbside pick up, so i went in to pick up my take out and they were a bit aggressive. However i understand. We can't take chances with COVID. But aside from that the food was great. No complaints. Will be here again.

If I could give zero stars I would. So I ordered the gardenia vegetable as part of my delivery order and this is what I got. DISGUSTING - scraps and stems! And they had the nerve to charge me $5 for this MESS! Ya'll saw this mess as you put it in the container. I used to frequent this establishment every couple of months, but never again. Y'all just lost a valuable customer. Down right NASTY!

Obviously burnt empanadas:(

Usually have a good experience but today was disappointing. The beef ribs were good but the spare ribs were overcooked and so was the empanada (pictured)

I called in an order to go and the food was ready and got when u got there 15 mins later, total plus. It seemed busy and this was a Saturday afternoon so that was a good sign. I really liked the pork ribs and the chicken wasn't that bad. The fries however were a bit pale and JUST cooked and lacked salt. Rice was kind of hard but I do like that they gave bread, since I was starving and needed something for the ride home. Yet, no utensils and had to ask for BBQ sauce, unlike most places that offer or just automatically provide these types of condiments. Ultimately not a super bad experience and would potentially return.

Good food.. Love the beef empanadas. Small place to eat, be prepared to smell like chicken when you leave.. I almost ate my jacket. I always get the half chicken, rice, fries combo with a side of black beans. Their chicken isn't dry like it's been sitting like the other bbq places.. My husband loves his shrimp dish

So my friend and I ordered takeout from here and she picked it up. Check out what i got verses what my friend got mind you we ordered the same thing. I got nothing but skin and bone on mine. So I called them to let them know. So I walk in and the owner said sorry we can't do anything about it. I said this is what you sell to your customers skin and bones. So she took my platter to show the other cooks and they were breathing and talking over the food. She throws a mini piece of chicken in the same container they had been breathing and talking over. I will NEVER spend my money here again. Stay away from this place owner is nasty!

The food is sooo good! The mac and cheese, yams, greens, wings, and shrimp were my favs!…read more I just wish the fish wasn't so small but it was lightly battered (how I like it), seasoned, and fried to perfection. The rum punch was GOODT! The live dj was great. The service could use some improvement.

I really don't like to write bad reviews but this food was probably one of the worst I have tried !…read moreDid a uber pickup because the weather was nice and wanted to eat outside ,,, upon entering the vibe was off , everyone just stairs and no greeting at all ! Showed the lady my phone for the order and she brought me food out and gave it to me and walked away like she hates her job basically ! We ordered the BUY 1 get one Whiting with Mac n cheese / collards , rice & Mac n cheese . also the eggrolls ! Yes I ordered fish but the smell that took over my car was crazy, Not fresh at all ! Mac n cheese was dry , no flavor Fish was thin , chewy and had no crunch Collards were ok , had a nice piece of turkey meat but no flavor Rice was ok , just plain rice nothing in them or seasoning EGG rolls , took 1 bite and threw them out , flavor was off and couldn't even make out what meat was in them ! Overall I was definitely disappointed because I live close by and been trying new spots and had high hopes for this place as they have a great menu but the food was not 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.

We came about two hours before closing on a Saturday, and they were already out of quite a few items, which was understandable given the timing. We ordered the wings, oxtail meal and oxtail pasta, and the food took about 20 minutes to come out. Everything was served hot and well plated. Taste: The food was bussing! Both dishes were delicious, well seasoned, and had a good amount of spice without being overwhelming. The oxtail was flavorful and tender, and the serving sizes definitely surpassed our expectations. We were full and very satisfied. Ambiance: It's a casual spot with a relaxed feel, perfect for grabbing a takeaway meal, I wouldn't plan to eat here though! Overall Review: Jerkies was a great find! Even though they were out of some menu items, what we ordered did not disappoint. The portions were generous, the food was flavorful, and everything came out hot and fresh. Definitely coming back to try some of the other options earlier in the day

The restaurant ambiance & service was impeccable; white table cloths, warm bread with butter while you wait, MASSIVE portions, amazing quality. We ordered a pitcher to share of Sangria that was the BEST sangria I have ever had (I'm now ruined for any future sangria lol), and easily equalled 4 drinks. My plate was the salmon special, stuffed with avocado, drizzled with lemony, buttery, delicious valenca sauce & served with perfectly steamed veggies & piped mash potatoes. My husband ordered the Veal Parmesan for a twist as his fav is chicken parm & it was perfectly seasoned, giant portion & served with linguini & red sauce. Both were big enough to be easily shareable. They sang to me and presented me with a scrumptious birthday flan... that I also shared! Parking was a breeze & valet quickly got us in & out. I felt like a VIP Princess from start to finish. Valenca made this a very special birthday meal to remember & anytime we find ourselves in the area, popping in will be a MUST. Did I mention how beautiful the restaurant is? The entire night was like a perfectly curated event & I couldn't have asked for more!

Ummm, flying into EWR and too lazy to drive far for dinner before heading south to my hotel,…read more Valenca sounded interesting. On a Monday evening, it was certainly busy at the bar and in the small dining area. Surprisingly as entree prices seemed to average around $30+. Unlike many restaurants in Portugal, the olives and bread are complimentary which was a nice touch. I opted for the seafood stew with the tomato broth and "lobster ". With the slow service, I was hoping that it would be made to order. However, a large bowl with overcooked seafood arrived. I had to ask for a bowl fir shells and a Nutcracker with hand wipes appeared too. Lobster was a small claw, the middle section which doesn't offer anything edible and a tiny sliver of tail meat. Wish I had remained with the garlic shrimp dish that was so amazing during a trip to Portugal. Service was inattentive, I had to stand up and request my bill. Anyhoo, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, great neighborhood vibe!
