    Chicken picadinho
    Cassy B.

    I'm not sure why but I never tried Fire Pit, I've always frequented other local bbq restaurants but my boyfriend suggested it one night and I said "why not"? What a great decision because it was delicious. We snagged a table for two and service was great. Parking is a little rough in the lot but there's street parking all around. I love Picadinho but I don't eat pork so when I saw they had a chicken version - multiple actually - I ordered that right away. It was served in a traditional Portuguese clay pot bowl and it was delicious. Perfectly cooked chicken and potatoes in a decadent sauce. The flavors were absolutely there, everything seasoned to perfection and the crisp of the potatoes was just great. It comes with rice and I might order it with salad next time because it's a heavy meal. Also it feeds about 2-3 people and I ordered it for myself so I had leftovers for about two days! My boyfriend originally wanted the baby back ribs but our server said it was take around 50 minutes to make. We were on a time crunch so he got the short ribs instead but we'll definitely try the ribs on a different day with more time. The short ribs looked great and he got rice and beans with those. Absolutely delicious all around. I also loved the Portuguese olives served with the bread. This food is grilled to perfection and seasoned well. No complaints, we'll definitely be back!

    Shrimp in Garlic Sauce

    Shrimp was ok. Portions weren't too big for pricing. Place was crowded and service was decent. Super small inside.

    I ordered a BBQ Spare Ribs (Full order). There only 6 actual bones and all other pieces are edges of ribs.

    I ordered a BBQ Spare Ribs (Full order). It looks good at first, until I start eating. There only 6 actual bones and all other pieces are edges of ribs. It is definitely not cut from a full rack of ribs. The other pieces are hard and very fatty. It is very disappointing! I should have waited 45 minutes for full rack of BBQ Baby Back Ribs.

    BBQ Pork Chops
    Jasmine S.

    Found this small joint in New Jersey, that you do not wanna miss. It's a Open-pit Portuguese Barbecue Restaurant! You can smell the delicious food grilling from blocks away. First and foremost this is the Shrimp and Garlic Sauce Appetizer....Wow what a blast of flavor you get from this dish! Don't forget to ask for some bread so you finish the shrimps you can scrape the rest of the sauce with the bread so delicious! Parmesan Garlic Fries was our delicious side dish that was a perfect fit with pretty much with anything we ordered with. Nothing could go wrong with Parmesan fries alone, now add garlic x2 even better. The Portuguese Barbecue Pork Chops were super tender, juicy and flavorful with a garlicky sauce. The garlic sauce with the taste of the meat was too delicious that it had us over eating.

    Dry salty overdone ribs with barely any meat.
    Jake M.

    Absolutely the worst Portuguese BBQ I've ever had. If you want meat on your bones dont come here. I ordered a rack of pork ribs with rice and fries and a side order of beans. The rice and beans were ok but you cant really mess that up, the fries were dry, and for the worst part. The ribs looked like they were from an emaciated small dog. They were way overdone, very dry and salty and barely had any meat on them. I was extremely disappointed with the portions which were also extremely small. This place does not even compare to any Portuguese BBQ place in Newark where you can get more and better quality food for half the price. Drive the extra few miles and skip this place. Not worth it.

    Great broiled chicken. Everything made fresh to order. Need 20 minutes for orders. Service great . Has interior seating. Parking is a little tough as lot is small.

    Mmmmmm

    This place would've got 5 stars if the French fries were hot or even semi hot. They were getting cold and I started to eat the food after less than 10mins leaving the store. However the steak sandwich was very tasty. The price was decent too I think around $13. I enjoyed my meal. Also they didn't give ketchup. Sandwich was very tasty called the other night and they ran outta bread for sandwiches around 8pm. Means their sandwiches gotta be a hit. I reccommend for sure. Decent menu lot of items to order. Decor is basic but for the price I'm with it.

    Beef ribs
    Michael B.

    Beef ribs were cooked perfectly , when I went here they asked how I would like them cooked which is good because you can get medium/medium rare instead of medium well - 5/5 Salad is actually a really good size (yes I know some people order salads at these places I don't know why) But there's the picture below 5/5 The rice and fries were pretty good 4/5 This is a classic Portuguese BBQ place good charcoal BBQ the only reason I can't give this 5 stars is because there are slightly better barbecue places I've been to nearby. This however is definitely in one of my top 5 (and specifically this location)

    Jim Dandy's 102 Park Ave…read more Rutherford, NJ 07070 Mango Habanero Wings Smoked Brisket Full Rack of Ribs Bird In Hand Smoked Pork I randomly found out across this barbecue restaurant as I walked along the main strip. Having no knowledge of this location, my curiosity led me inside. Jose, the manager, told me the chef prepares a homemade barbecue sauce, which has been a family secret recipe for over 30 years. Jose also brought to my attention a really great deal offered on Tuesdays: full rack of ribs for the cost of a half rack! He gave me a free sample of the secret sauce. That spoon size taste went a long way as I was immediately hooked by its flavor and tanginess. With the exception of the wings, I tried the sauce on all of their killer meats! The tender, juicy brisket melted in my mouth. The pork ribs fell right off the bone. My personal favorite was the bird in hand. This half chicken made me feel like I was in dining at Medieval Times in Lyndhurst! The only thing missing was a tournament with gladiators grappling in a colosseum! Between the tasty meats, strictly confidential house made barbecue sauce, and the excellent service from the manager and the servers, I was very content and my crave for barbecue has been happily fulfilled! #jimdandys #killermeats #barbecue #MangoHabanero #smokedbrisket #rackofribs #pulledpork #barbecuechicken

    Jim Dandy's is a laid-back BBQ spot in Rutherford that delivers solid comfort food in a cozy,…read moreno-fuss setting. The ambiance is casual and welcoming-- It's not fancy, but that's part of its charm. The staff seem friendly and attentive. The food is hearty and flavorful, especially the wings! The ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender. However, our only drawback was the heavy hand with the BBQ sauce--it overwhelmed the smoky flavor of the meat. If you like your ribs super saucy and sloppy, you'll probably love them, but it might be too much for those who prefer a more balanced bite. It's BYOB, so bring your favorite bottle--because ribs taste better with a drink in hand and no corkage fee in sight, right?

    Such a wonderful little treat my family and I happened to stumble upon today in Nutley, NJ…read more My family and I were helping out some locals with a job and we got hungry for lunch. We asked some people nearby for a reasonably priced seafood spot and we were told to try out Stephanie's. I was skeptical at first because the restaurant priced itself on bbq meats and since today is Good Friday, Catholics abstain from meat to commemorate Christ's' sacrifice on the cross. It sounded like we'd be better off heading somewhere else, however the locals who were also Christian insisted on the spot. Thankfully we gave it a try and it was absolutely worth the price and travel to try it out. It was a cute and festive interior and honestly a really cool hidden gem. I was extremely content with the portioning and quality and flavors I was given on my plate. The seasoned olive oil with fried garlic on the side was literally put on everything by family and I. 100% recommend. Next time I'll be back for regular bbq'd meats!

Portuguese-style barbecue, with charcoal-grilled meats fish, and chicken, beef ribs, and skirt steak, along with sides like rice, beans, veggies, and fries, and appetizers such as empanadas. I would try the Salmon soup and the branzino platter with a side of plantains..... Deliscious...worth going. I will go back.

    3 stars for portion sizes that are enough to feed you for a whole day…read more.. Soo I was craving a chicken and rice platter drenched in white sauce. I know there's a million Halal spots popping up, and I will admit I'm very, very picky when it comes to platters. I miss the good ol' days on 53rd street in NYC... I came by around 10pm and was served quickly by a friendly employee. They have platters, burgers, wraps, wings, chicken tenders, fries, etc. I ordered the chicken rice platter (~$13.50). They cook the meat fresh on the grill and then you choose your toppings at the salad bar (olives, onions, peppers, tomatoes, etc.). It's a bit pricier than other places, but the portion size is huge. The container felt HEAVY lol. It's just a shame it went to waste because I really didn't enjoy the food. I only finished about half of it before I tossed the rest. The white sauce was almost flavorless and was VERY watery. The chicken wasn't as well-seasoned. No distinct spices or aroma. Every bite left me with a very greasy and salty taste in my mouth. The side salad was just okay. I was disappointed. The only saving grace was the rice... it was fluffy and the best part of the whole platter. Not sure if I came on an off night or...? Don't let my review stop you from trying. It might just not be the Halal spot for me.

    wow. MY FIRST TIME HERE. I called for pick up and said just…read moregive me the best thing. And the guy was like I GOTCHU. 5 minutes and it's ready. (He got me a mixed platter) The portion size is big enough for SHREK. The price was perfect for a gambling degenerate like myself. Don't think twice, just go. This is definitely a place to bring your side piece... your main girl will never know. Unless your main girl is a TJ MAXX shopper, that's right across the street, in that case be cautious taking your side piece here.
