    This is a place that my friend introduced to me a while back in college, and I've been coming back ever since. Food: We always get one of the combo platters (Different meats and two sides- usually rice and beans). FYI, these combo platters are huge, so either come really hungry or come with 2 other people to help you eat it! In terms of taste, the meat is juicy and tender, the rice is well seasoned and flavorful, and the beans were the right amount of starchiness. Environment/Service: The restaurant itself is kind of small, but I never had an issue with seating. The servers are all friendly and happy to help you with picking food recommendations. Price: For the amount of food you're getting, it is well worth the price. (especially if you split it with friends) Overall: For the quality and quantity of food you're getting at the price point, Hamilton BBQ is well worth your time and money if you're ever hungry and around the area.

    Food is really good, spot very busy! My only concern is that they charge 3% if you pay by credit card, 1 star off because of that. La comida es muy buena, ¡lugar muy concurrido! Mi único problema es que cobran 3% si pagas con tarjeta de crédito, 1 estrella menos por eso.

    1/2 BBQ Chicken w/ fries and rice
    Toyin D.

    *Based on takeout* I can't believe I've been here all these years and I've never come here. From order to pickup time, I spent 20 minutes, which was pretty good, considering the restaurant was pretty packed. The staff was kind over the phone and pleasant to speak with at checkout. First of all, let's talk portion sizes. They don't play around here with food. I noticed the huuuuuggee plates in front of the dine-in customers. They gave me enough food to last me 3 satisfying meals - no exaggeration. I chose the 1/2 order of BBQ chicken, rice, and fries. Seasoning was perfect, meat texture was just right, and price point was awesome, considering the amount of food they give you. This place is a hidden gem!

    Side salad (forgot the size; I think I ordered medium).

    Let's start with a warning; visit Hamilton BBQ with a big appetite as the portions are mammoth! My combination dish of BBQ chicken and BBQ pork spare rib combination, which comes with rice and one selectable side (I chose black beans), was equally large in size and deliciousness! I loved the simple preparation applied to both proteins, seasoned with just salt, pepper, and cooked on a charcoal grill; the natural flavors of the meats really shined through along with a pleasing smokey charcoal flavor. The BBQ pork spare ribs were nicely sized, meaty and fatty, and cooked to a tender and moist texture. BBQ chicken comprised of a drumstick and large thigh were moist and had an awesome crispy skin. Bountiful portions of yellow rice was very flavorful and tasted like it was cooked with a bit of chicken broth. My black bean side order was delicious too; properly starchy and very filling. My sister chose the full sized Brazilian style beef (Pichana) platter and generously provided were several cuts of beef laced with strip of fat at the edge (note that Pichana is a specialized cut; known for that pronounced strip of fat the edge). She enjoyed the beefy flavor and ridge of fat of the Pichana steaks, but mentioned they weren't the most tender (temperature of the steak was medium). Her side of French fries were enjoyable as well; thin and crispy, and reminiscent in look to McDonald's fries. We added some healthy greens to our meal in Hamilton BBQ's salad which was just lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and plenty of white onion slices. Each vegetable was fresh and provided a welcomed cool lightness to the rice and proteins. Service was very friendly as our waitress was very friendly and timely with serving our food.

    The rice festival
    Andre J.

    Decided to go to Hamilton BBQ so we wouldn't have to cook dinner on a Thursday and it was a bad decision. She have went home and cooked and saved my $25 because it was not good at all. 1st we got the beef ribs and chicken combo and they only give you 3 ribs which was tough as a fight with Mike Tyson, not seasoned at all and more fat than a little bit. They were almost not eatable. The half of chicken tasted a bit burnt and the thigh was not cleaned very well because I was spitting out fat and cleaning the veins from out of it. 5hey call this place a BBQ spot but no BBQ sauce was on the meat but they give you these very small containers with 2 BBQ sauces and 2 hot sauces. Oh and give you a whole pan of rice which would feed a family of 6. I recommend if you going to spend $25 it would be better to go around the corner and get KFC. At least you know what you getting because if they keep this up with this sub par food they going to be out of business. I would have felt better if I gave my $25 to a homeless person i would have been fill of joy because I'm now eating potato chips to get full

    Spare and short ribs full order
    Kenny L.

    I. Love. Hamilton. BBQ. I bring my friends here ALL THE TIME to eat the great BBQ here and I'm sure all my friends know I'm practically a regular here. Let's just start by saying the portions here are HUGE and they do not skimp on any meat at all. Not only do they give you a lot, the food here is great! I almost always get the full order of the ribs combo (both short and spare) and never once have I been disappointed. A full order can easily feed 2-3 people and a half order can stuff the average person. The meat is juicy and cooked perfectly, with the most amazing seasoning. It comes served on a heaping bed of delicious yellow rice with a side. For first time diners, note that the vegetables on the side of the rice are picked, so don't be surprised if you bite into it and get a tangy crunch! I also recommend trying their fried plaintains, as those are always a nice way to end a meal. The restaurant itself is small, but I have never had any issue with seating, but I also come slightly off-hours, so I am not sure how seating is during peak hours. Regardless of my party size however, the staff is always very accommodating to us. I have come here with parties ranging from 2 to 12, and have never had an issue. Giving this place a 5/5 is automatic for me, though I wish I could give it 6.

    Portuguese sausage
    Mel T.

    Everything at Hamilton BBQ is really salty, so be prepared to have a lot of water handy. The Portuguese sausage was super oily, sour, and salty all at the same time. It's served as an appetizer but you definitely need something to go with it - like bread, rice, or salad. The sautéed pork cubes were overcooked. The meat was a bit dry. But at least it wasn't as salty as the sausage. It also comes sautéed with potatoes, which were pretty good. Surprisingly, the pork actually tasted better the next day, right out of the fridge - no reheating needed. The spare ribs were just okay. I've definitely had better. This comes with rice, and your choice of salad, beans, or french fries. I think this was my first Portuguese food experience. It won't be my last but it will be my last time at Hamilton BBQ. P.S. If you decide to come, get ready to shoo tiny flies away from your food during the entire meal.

    Great food, great portions, good prices, amazing smells and service! I always enjoy eating here whether I'm having the pork ribs w/rice and salad or the seafood, chicken, and more.

    Our Go-To Spot for BBQ - Nothing Compares!…read more We've been loyal customers of BBQ 28 since the day they opened, and after trying many other BBQ spots, nothing else even comes close. The food is consistently delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The establishment is split into two sections. On the right side is the takeout area, where you can see the staff preparing everything right in front of you - from the perfectly chickens, steaks, ribs, to the freshly made rice. Their shrimp in garlic sauce is amazing as well as their salads, the dressing is the best, it should be bottled and sold. It's an experience just watching them cook! The food is always hot and ready, and the staff are incredibly friendly and efficient. We usually call ahead to place our order, and it's typically ready in about 20-30 minutes. On the left side is the sit-down restaurant, which has a warm, welcoming vibe. If you just can't wait to get home to enjoy your meal, you can always head next door and dine in comfortably. Whether you're grabbing takeout or sitting down for a meal, BBQ 28 never disappoints. Highly recommend - the food is always steaming hot, and the service is top-notch!

From calling around, I felt Ria Mar was giving the most selection and value for the per person $$. The amount of food we got reassured me we got our moneys worth. So many delicious appetizers, and the meals were also very good. My only complaint, though a very small one, was the overall "pace" of the evening. Our server was working hard to keep things moving but ultimately the rooms location and I assume the need for additional help kind of slowed things down a bit. It wasn't anything that would keep me from hosting another event there. I'd still highly recommend it.

We started with a pitcher of red sangria, which everyone enjoyed. For entrées, we ordered the bacon-wrapped chicken (the sauce was tasty, but the chicken itself was dry), the braised short ribs (very good), and the seafood rice, which was delicious. The shrimp avo was just okay. Overall, I'd recommend the place for the friendly service and good food; just make sure your utensils are clean before you start eating.

Our waiter was difficult to understand and couldn't answer basic questions about the menu. The bread was so overbaked and hard we were worried about breaking a tooth. The shrimp appetizer was very good, although swimming in oil; the Iberico rib meat was greasy and came with raw garlic. When the plates were cleared, oil was spilled onto our table. Then we waited about 45 minutes for our entrees and eventually had to track someone down ourselves. We later discovered our waiter eating at the bar while we were waiting. The octopus was both charred and undercooked and far too salty. The nearly 3-inch-thick pork chop, ordered medium, was raw in the center. The "apricot brandy reduction" was essentially jam on top, and the potato chips were thick and underfried. The $37 pork chop was essentially inedible. Getting the check was another ordeal--we had to ask multiple times and were even brought another customer's check and credit card by mistake. There was no adjustment to our bill. After paying, we also had to wait to get our card back. The bartender did seem genuinely concerned when we told him what happened and ultimately offered 10% off a future visit, but after this experience, we certainly won't be returning. The shrimp were good and the bartender tried to help, but overall the food, service, and handling of the situation were far below what we expected.
