$19 for a steak sandwich and it had one thin slice of steak. Even with sautéed onions and a slice of American cheese, there was barely any actual meat in the sandwich. It was mostly bread and toppings. For that price, you expect a real portion of steak, not something that looks like it was stretched to cover the roll. The onions and cheese don't make up for the lack of steak -- they just make it more obvious how little you're actually getting. The sandwich itself wasn't bad, but the portion for the price is completely unreasonable. If you're charging $19, the sandwich should actually have steak in it. read more

Tried Grill Master recently, and overall, it was a solid experience. The ribs, chicken, and fries were all really tasty--definitely where the flavor shines. The seasoning was on point, and the meat didn't disappoint in terms of taste. However, the rice was a letdown. It's that parboiled, bland kind with just a few sparse pieces of peas and carrots tossed in--not much going on there. I also noticed the meat portions were a bit on the small side, while the sides were huge. It feels like they load you up on the cheaper stuff and skimp a little on the protein. That said, the taste is definitely there when it comes to the meat, and that's what counts most for me. I'd purchase again--just know what you're getting: great flavor, modest meat portions, and a whole lot of sides The guys in the front are friendly and efficient read more

I recently tried this place and ordered the salmon with rice and mixed veggies. The salmon was good, though it could have used a bit more seasoning. The rice was very bland, which was disappointing, but the restaurant itself was nice and worth trying. I might come back, but it's not a go-to for me. read more

Grill Master BBQ - Vegetable rice, fries, chicken and ribs (Combo) - Barbeque Near Me - Bloomfield, New Jersey

The food here is sadly very inconsistent. Sometimes it is good, sometimes its meh. The food is cooked to order, except the whole/half chicken. So if you want chicken, sometimes you get lucky, and you are in and out, sometimes it takes an hour... I am a steak guy, and I would say that they get my steak right only about 30-40% of the time. I like mine pretty rare, and its usually well or medium well. I know it probably has something to do with transporting it home.... But that shouldn't make my steak go from rare to well done. Their master steak is pretty decent, as well as their skirt steak. Flavor wise its pretty solid. Chicken is always cooked well. Wife likes it spicy and she says its pretty good. Fries are ok, a little squishy for my taste. Wife enjoys the rice. Ribs are also pretty solid. Garlic shrimp is on the meh end... So is the chicken kebab. It had a flavor we didn't enjoy last time. Inside is a very cute and clean restaurant. They have a huge display case of cake slices. Ive never tried them. I usually stick to their steak chicken and ribs. Biggest disappointment is a huge price hike recently. Most dishes went up $3-5... Kind of a big hike! I know that they have expenses and overhead etc, but that is a little hard to swallow. Ever since the huge price hike, we don't come as often. I have nothing really good to say, nor really bad about this place.... read more

Definitely not what they were years ago! Bland ribs and VERY dry chicken; fries were also soggy and food was picked up 10 minutes after placing pickup order on phone; quick service though. read more

This place is GREAT. The food tastes awesome and is a good price for what you get. The best thing about this place is that all the meat is grilled using wood charcoal pits and not gas. In the words of the owner, "We don't believe in gas [grilling] here." *swoon* I will come here again and again and again and again. For me, it's definitely worth the half hour drive! read more

Food always on the money. Love Love Love this place!! Always on time and delivery is always courteous

Not a huge fan but it's reasonable if you have a large party to feed on a budget. Not much parking in the area. The place is clean and the chicken is delicious but I would pass on the rice and bland veggies. I have usually just ordered chicken, rice, veggies and fries. I only really like the chicken and fries. There's other things on the menu but never tried it. I heard the shrimp with garlic is just ok from my boyfriend. There's tons of places in the area that offer the same type of dishes so I might try them out to compare and contrast. read more

I love getting food from here! Been eating food from Grill Master since I was a kid and nowadays I usually get food from here for myself and my family about once every 2 weeks-ish. Our favorite is the Garlic Chicken family platter with rice and french fries (or veggies) with the garlic sauce poured on top and black beans on the side! oooooo my mouth is watering just thinking about it! They could do better with answering their phones though. I usually have to call more than 3 times before getting through with someone to place an order. But I still give them a 5 because the food is so darn good, it doesn't really bother me to call multiple times. It can be annoying when I'm super duper hungry, but otherwise, like I said, the food is worth it read more

Big portions, solid Portuguese food. Mostly takeout/ delivery, but there are a few tables inside if you want to dine in. My fiancé got the pork rib platter with rice and fries, I ordered the garlic chicken platter with rice and vegetables. He was extremely happy, I enjoyed my plate too, however, I wish I would have ordered their regular chicken instead. I was expecting the garlic chicken to have more punch of flavor for my liking. It wasn't bad, but wasn't what I expected. Next time we're back, I'll probably order their regular chicken or try the beef ribs to start working my way down the menu. It's street parking, so basically hit or miss depending on the time of day. read more

The food is good but I have to pay 25.59 and charge to my card 111.19 and he said no have the money I have to dispute to my bank.!!!!!

I've been patronizing the business off and on for at least 20 years as I moved in and out of the area. The food has always been good. My last 2 experiences have caused me to change my mind. The beef ribs were so tough that I literally couldn't eat them. Tough as in I wouldn't give them to my dog. I ended up throwing the entire platter away. I was so angry and hungry as I had called in my order on the way home from work and hadn't eaten all day. I don't know if it's an issue with the cook or if the cuts of meat they're using are cheap but I was very disappointed and thoroughly disgusted. read more

Worse place ever!!! The fries taste like they have been sitting in oil for too long, I specifically asked for medium rare beef ribs and they are burnt it to crisp. I called to complain about what I received and they asked me to come back so they can take a look at it. I live 3 miles away and my kids were so hungry I wasn't going to leave my house to drive 3miles away and have my kids wait longer to eat as they (grill master)wanted to make an observation on the food I picked up. Customer service it not good! My daughter even ended up in tears because one of the fries the were Burnt poked the inside of her mouth! Never again! Don't give this place your money they don't stand behind their mistakes or the quality of food! read more

The hot wings let me just say are grilled to perfection ! While still being able to fulfill the spicy taste I love them . The rice is very moist it isn't dry like most places . The fries are awesome and the platters honestly is enough for two people ! The price for the amount of food you get amazing ! read more

We order for delivery, the pork cubes, rice & fries. Delivery didn't take forever. The food was delicious and it arrived hot.

This place is meh. I ordered a salmon salad. It was fresh, but nothing to rave about. I could've made it at home honestly. I added my own spices to it, it was plain. I will say again it was fresh, but I'd only go back if I was pressed for time and needed something to suffice. The double chocolate cake tasted like any other manufactured slice of cake... plus it was stale, so I didn't finish or enjoy it. I could've save my money on that... yeah just a very "meh" experience. read more

Don't love this place. Definitely overrated. I've been here a few times and the food is hit or miss. The chicken shish kabob is the only thing I usually get, along with rice and fries. The chicken or rib platters are okay. Rice isn't always great - fries are soggy. The thing to get here is the ribs platter that come with rice and fries. You can sub the fries for veggies too. Food is edible, I just don't think it's well seasoned. It's okay to eat in a pinch but definitely not my first choice! Enjoy your visit! Im read more

Always great food! The prices are pretty good as well. I love the garlic shrimp and their wings! The combos are really good for large groups and you can mix and match. read more

Idk if the original owners sold this place it's definitely not the staff that's been serving me over 15 years. They haven't updated they menu in two years so you see one price but when it's time to pay it's another they charge you for everything separately now rice fries meat yesterday a personal platter cost me 25 bucks so how much for a whole platter you won't know cause old menu new prices I know they got a printer in the back they can print a new menu yes I know food got more expensive but it's several Portuguese BBQ restaurants in the area and they didn't Triple they prices so I recommend trying out some of the other Portuguese BBQ places in the area because they've been getting over on their customers ever since it changed ownership if Mchorter didn't triple they prices no reason grill master should read more

Food is really good there but the customer service SUCKS IS AWFUL SPECIALLY THE WOMAN THAT TAKES THE ORDERS ALWAYS WITH AN ATTITUDE... had a few bad experiences there but this time I've had it can't even ask a question without getting an attitude I had to wait almost 50 minutes for a chicken with rice and fries after being told that it'll take 15 minutes when I asked woman why is it taking so long after 30 minutes she just rolled her eyes said "the chicken is being made well if I would have known I would have told you so now You have to wait" I would have left if it wasn't for the fact that they charged me already & also the rice they didn't even finish cooking it and put it on the tray to go if was very soupy and waxy would give zero stars ... & they always mess up the orders read more

So this place probably only has 3 stars since it's only got a handful of reviews (Most the customers are not the yelping type- no offense) it's definitely deserving of a great review! THIS PLACE IS LEGIT! 1. Super inexpensive, huge portions, fast service 2. Chicken kebab has great seasoning, just a touch of heat, not greasy, but very succulent 3. Pork was tender, with that nice springy bite and not overly fatty 4. Ribs had a great bark, meaty but not overly fatty, good salt/ seasoning ~ you really get to dig into these and tear the meat off the bone! As a competitive bodybuilder, I eat a ton of meat and like to think I know good meat when I taste it... This is some good meat!! Will def b back to try the chourico (Portuguese chorizo) and for more chicken n ribs!! read more

I can't think of any place that offers such quality and quantity at prices like these. Even though I live in Hasbrouck heights whenever I'm having a get together I get the food at grill masters. The food is made fresh everytime and it shows in the quality and the flavor. I recommend the beef ribs, the caramelized salmon and the grilled hot wings (they're made fresh so the wings take about 40 minutes). If your in or around bloomfield I strongly recommend you try this place it is frankly awesome. read more

The food here is great but I must say that I am very disappointed with the customer service I received today. For the first time, today I had to use DoorDash because I don't have my vehicle. I made a human error and chose chicken cubes with shrimp picadinho instead of pork. I called them a minute after I submitted my order and I was put on hold for a few minutes. Once he gets back to me I explained I made a mistake on my order and I would pay the difference if I had to. He says that he can't change my order because they have already started making it and if I had called right away they could've changed it (which I did but I was placed on hold). I told him I that I did call right away and he continued to say that he is sorry but he can't change it. So now I paid almost $20 for something that I won't be eating and when I tried to cancel on door dash it said that I would not be getting a refund for the food. So people... don't make human errors while ordering from this place. And sadly this will be my last time ordering anything from Grill Master. read more

Recommend this place. The grilled garlic chicken platter pretty tasty. Almost the grilled salmon salad was on point. Pretty fast pace working environment. Friendly staff. No complaints read more

I did like the food but after my experience today I wouldn't ever go in that store. The customer service was poor and they gave me the wrong order and argued with me. The food was half cooked so I had too put it back in the oven for a half hour. read more

Maybe the only business in Newark that didn't leave a bad taste in my mouth. My fiance and I were regulars here, sometimes up to three nights a week, to score barbecued whole chicken and ribs dished up with yellow rice and fries for 20 and change. Stick with the stuff that comes from the grill, the garlic shrimp and mussels were both disappointing when I tried to be adventurous. I would recommend takeout unless you want to sit next to the asian guy sellin bootleg dvds. read more
