Had a door dash dinner from here and the food was pretty good. The portions were small and the food was lukewarm but the flavor was there! The presentation seemed rushed but more importantly the food was good. read more

I haven't tried food here in a few years and I was surprised to find out it's under new management since May of this year. We ordered four platters of the churrasco chicken with rice and French fries. The chicken was good, the rice was a little bland and the fries were ok. I would like to return and try some other menu items maybe in a few months. Best of luck to the new owners read more

Stopped in for dinner after reading reviews. Food was delicious and plentiful. Very small sitting area. Owner Steve was a wonderful host.

Great food, place, price, portions, service, nice indoor/outdoor seating and owner/Steve is great. Highly recommend . read more

Always freshly made and delicious. Love the chicken, ribs and sausage. Very flavorful and satisfying. Highly recommend.

SAD !!! read more

First time ordering from the Fire Pit Grill. Steak, ribs salmon, garlic shrimp, sweet bananas, fries and rice. Food was excellent. Will definitely be ordering again. read more

Food was very good. Owner is a wonderful man. Had great conversation with him while we waited for our food. He is honest and sincere. It was one of those hot days and he advised us to take the food home bc it was to hot in the restaurant. We'll be back! read more

We had high hopes as we are Portuguese and love a good Portuguese bbq spot. Went with traditional chicken, fries and rice platter (IYKYK) - chicken was good but a little dry. Fries and rice were blah. Also ordered yuca - which was AWFUL. And sweet plantains, which were just ok. The weirdest part was the picadinho...it was 100% without question chicken, instead of pork. Tasted nothing like it should. Disappointing for sure. read more

Had the grilled chicken and it was great! We also order the plantains which were the best we ever had. We will be back for more.

Ordered to go and the food was amazing. The owner was very friendly and gave us extra food. The place is small and quaintbut great for takeout. read more

We were on our way to a wake and decided to stop at this place for dinner. We ordered the whole chicken platter, plantains, shrimp in garlic sauce and the sausage appetizer. The food was very good! The owner was a delightful man! read more

Omg, I just had the most excellent Portuguese lunch! We had the chicken rice and beans with a side of garlic shrimp. So delicious! Definitely give this place a try!!! read more

Great place to stop for lunch ! Seems popular and hear good comments from friends who ate here!

Even though it's situated in a small strip mall, the food, which is Portuguese, is wonderfully spicy!

Been driving by this place for 3 years now. Snowy SB Sunday bought me in for a surprise dinner for the Mrs. Wow! Was I ever surprised. Chicken and rib plate for $20 was more than enough for us two old farts. Chicken was moist and tasty! But those RIBS! Oh my were they delicious. Mixed veggies were a bit soft. The chips never made it home. I'm returning for the ribs indeed! read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while now. Finally remembered to give it a shot. The guy running the place is very friendly. I ordered to go. Although the food was very tasty, I was a little disappointed because I received beef ribs instead of the baby back pork ribs I ordered. I noticed the special was beef ribs, but that's not what I ordered. The steak sandwich also very good. The meat was tender and tasty but the sandwich was very small for the price. To be fair there was a sign up saying the prices on the menu do not reflect the prices due to the increase cost of food. I can certainly understand and appreciate that but my bill was a bit more than I expected. Times are hard these days for everyone, maybe especially hard for small business owners. I'll give this place another try in the future because the food and the service were both very good. read more

The food here is meet fresh, nice charcoal, Brazilian flavoring. I don't get a chance to get there that often, but whenever I do have a chance, I always stop in. read more

Really delicious food, generous portions, friendly owner. The kind of tiny place that feels like a real find. Highly recommend.

Yelp says they should be open until 11. The sign in the window says open until 8. Its ten to eight. Lights are off. No one's here. Poor form. read more

I am very accustom to Portuguese bbq having worked in Newark. This place is wonderful. The food is fresh and delish. We had chicken and rib combo. Excellent. Even the salad dressing was delish. Give it a try, you won't be sorry. read more

This place have the most disrespectful worker that i ever have seen I order a chicken with rice and frize and when i got to get another one because its was to small i told this guys(owner) that i need another one Becouse only one is to small and can feed even 2 people he start arguing that you cant find better nowhere and bla bla bla He was veryyyyy dishonest and disrespectful Never ever go to buy to this store again ! read more

Very good Portuguese style chicken. The ribs are not the typical Portuguese ribs instead they have a Memphis style dry rub which was really good. Overall I will definitely be back. Only suggestion is that the portions could be a little bit larger for the price. read more

Amazing Amazing Amazing Food. Everything was Delicious. Took a chance was passing by and I remember a friend mentioning this place. Got there around 1PM . I was greeted by the owner - Steve. Quite , Calm and like I said EVERYTHING was cooked to Perfection. I was 1000% delighted by the taste of the food. If any of you get a chance to drop by .... PLEASE ... DO NOT miss this opportunity. I Must !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank You Steven for All Your Generosity. read more

This was our first time coming here and wee were looking for something different. So we decided to try it out. We decided to order the Giants Platter Dinner. We started with the Garlic Shrimp. They were cooked to perfection not chewy and rubbery at all. The shrimp were cooked with garlic and lemon and the taste was just amazing to the palate. There was also thin pork chops with grilled onions. The pork was very tender and flavorful. My only suggestion is I would sprinkle a little Goya Adobo on it. But other than that it was good. Tender pork Flavorful shrimp with hit of lemon and garlic Tender chicken with a tiny bite of spice Yellow rice with great lemony flavor Pork ribs were flavorful with a little bite afterwards. Food overall was very tasty. Definately recommend this place. The only minor downfall is the seating is very limited. If they had a bigger spot for more tables they would make bank because the food is very good. read more

It never ceases to amaze me when people say a place is slow that they give it a bad rating...did you ever stop to think it's because the food is being made fresh? That's exactly the case with Fire Pit Grill! The wings are insane...the skin is crispy while the sauce is bountiful of flavor and spice. The plantines and tostones were perfectly done... I can't say enough about how amazing everything is...this was the first of many trips! read more

Fire Pit Grill - a plate of meat and rice - Portuguese Near Me - Bayville, New Jersey

The only reason why I can't give this place five stars is because there's really no atmosphere, it's a take out place. Other than that, it's superb. The grilled chicken and meats are outstanding, the homemade chips are incredible, and the black bean soup is incredible. The star of the menu are the Parmesan - Garlic chicken wings. I can eat a whole order in a sitting. They are amazing. read more

First time having real Portuguese style food outside of the Elizabeth area. I was very happy with the menu choices and style. The appetizer we got were the peeled onions and the plantains, they were great. We did the rib platter as our main entree. Great family like service and great rib dry rub. Of course the rice and beans were good too. Next time we will be trying the chicken and pulled pork empanadas. I recommend it to anyone in the Bayville area. read more

Fire Pit Grill - a plate of fried chicken wings and a bowl of dipping sauce - Portuguese Near Me - Bayville, New Jersey

New to Bayville and was one of the first places I went to. Quickly became friends with the owner Steve - Steve is a great guy and his personality compliment the food he lovingly prepared. Been back about 6 times and will be going back again. I very highly recommend!!! read more

AMAZING FOOD!!! I had ordered a tray of their BBQ chicken & Seafood Paella for my husbands birthday bbq... it was AMAZING... I was worried I ordered too much but it ALL went, I'm still craving the BBQ chicken. Another time my brother went and brought back some left over ribs & plantains which were also amazing. The only reason I didn't order plantains for my husbands party was because I was worried I would eat them all :) ... The owner is super nice as well... I forgot my credit card there and he called me right away... Not only amazing food but amazing & friendly service as well :) read more

Noticed this place for a couple of years and finally decided to give it a try last week for take out. What an awesome place! Owner Steve is a super nice guy. Everything is homemade. He has racks of ribs and chickens on a charcoal rotisserie. Side dishes like the sweet plantains, rice, black beans and fresh vegetables are so flavorful. Paella is excellent. Huge portions on everything. Skirt steak marinated amazing, cowboy platter huge. Cuban sandwich huge! You can also eat there and it's byob! Menu is huge. Went again tonight for take out. This place is a winner! read more

Outstanding Portuguese food at a great price. Their fusion of flavors is what leads you to an amazing choice of flavors. By far one of the best spots around the Jersey Shore. read more

As others have noted, not a great sit down and eat place (although that's exactly what we did), but for the price, portion and quality, Fire Pit is 5 stars. I had the cowboy platter. My ribs were flavorful and not tough, chicken was not dried out, and the fried bananas were, by far, the best I've ever had. Oh yes and I received about a full pound of rice and beans as well. In hindsight the next time we visit fire pit my fiancé and I will get one platter and split it. Portions are very very generous. read more

0 stars is what this place deserves the owner has a temper and lacks business or people skills when i tasted the dry flavorless chicken and asked for sauce or something he me rudely that what i was saying was impossible as he stormed off he stepped up to me as a pregnant woman and got in my face as well as my boyfriends and threatend to call the cops when we defended ourselves YOUR FOOD TASTES LIKE SHIT AND IS NOT PORTUGUESE IN THE LEAST he will run into the wrong person one day to teach him that lesson only hope to hear about it :) read more

My parents just came back from Fire Pit Grill! They brought me the grilled chicken sandwich home , it was great ! They had nothing but wonderful things to say about the owner Steve , and how friendly he was . We will be back. read more

A great establishment with delicious food! The owner is always so nice when we order and pick up our food. The food is so tasty. The platters and empanada are a go to for us! May not look like much driving by but it's a perfect spot to order from and give a try if you haven't! It's important to support these types of businesses especially during these times. Take a chance on Fire Pit Grill! read more

Went with my wife and daughter on Sunday afternoon, we were looking for something different to try and found this restaurant. We were not disappointed, everything we got was excellent. We got the Spanish Paella and an order of empanadas. The portion size was pretty surprising, the paella alone could feed a four! Also I'd like to give a BIG shout out Steve. I imagine he's the owner but if not please know that he's something special. He was pretty much alone(said he was training someone), very busy, and still seemed to be having a ball, prepared some great food AND took the time to treat my daughter like a princess. Steve, Thank You, you're awesome and your business has new customers for as long as you'll have us. read more

This restaurant was amazing! We enjoyed our garlic parmesan wings and Giants platter. The chicken was incredibly delicious - I will be thinking about it for a WHILE. Also, the platters are good for 2-3 people, so pricing was really reasonable. We will be back and will be bringing friends and family. read more
