chicken in a plastic container
Wilmarie S.

They always leave the rotisserie chicken raw. I order all the time and every time I'm disappointed but I will not order anymore. I tell them can you please make sure it's well done sometimes I'm told okay comes out right other times which are most the chicken is still pink inside and once a mucus like puss was coming out of the chicken. Don't order from the Main Street Lena y Carbon they are the worst. Service is the worst no customer service at all just people who work and want a pay and not care about the business.

Discovered this restaurant through UberEats and I was very impressed! Delivery was fast, food was fresh and not greasy, and they have a big selection of sodas/drinks. I've ordered numerous times in the past weeks and my review remains consistent at 5 stars!

Undercooked bloody chicken

I've ordered from Leña y Carbon plenty of times and have always been a happy camper. My go-to is the chicken Chaufa, lomo and the Pollo al Carbon combo. Portions are well worth the price. However, the first time I ordered from this location I left extremely disappointed. The chicken was raw, pink, and bloody in all parts. If you ever had a black and blue steak, well this was the chicken version. Definitely was not safe to eat and avoided running the risk of getting sick. I was bragging to my friend how great this place is and it backfired. Neither of us were gutsy enough to try and eat it. I'm pretty adventurous but not adventurous enough to run the risk of getting salmonella. After today's experience, I won't be ordering from this location again.

Metal in my food.

This is my 2nd time ordering from them. The first time was sooooo good i craved it and ordered it again. This time the food wasn't good at all. Chaufa was extremely salty and taste burnt and as you can see in the picture the Lomo had a piece of metal knife in it. I spit it back out. Smfh. Never ordering here again.

Maduros Burnt horribly on one side. Inedible!

Everything's was fine. Until I had to use the restroom. Bathroom was beyond slippery, best part is there was absolutely no toilet paper. Not even paper towels! Ordered after I returned very uncomfortable. I ordered a Chaufa Mixto and maduro for myself. Fries for my son and my fiancé ordered 1/2 chicken with rice and beans and leche de Tigre. His chicken comes, no beans asked for the beans. Beans don't come for over 10 minutes. Mind you no one else is in the restaurant with us. It's empty. Not one other soul. His leche de tigre arrives. Babies fries arrive. My fiancé's almost done with his chicken. My foods still not in sight. Almost 25 minutes AFTER my fiancé's food comes mine comes from the kitchen. I'm not sure exactly what is happening in the kitchen but it definitely has spoiled my 1st and now my LAST visit to this establishment. There's hundreds of peruvian restaurants within a 5 mile radius I can go to. Never again. BTW My Maduros came out burnt on one side to the point they hardened and stuck to my teeth. And the guy who served us basically stayed behind the counter till he brought us food. Otherwise we didn't see him.

The chaufa here is amazing. Way better than any of the Peruvian places I have been too. The portion is huge you could easily feed 3-4 people a decent amount. The perfect amount of seasoning, the chicken is crispy yet moist. I fell in love with this place and would highly recommend the chaufa to anyone.

Salome the waitress was so kind and attentive. She went above and beyond to make sure I had a wonderful solo dining experience. Some restaurants overlook solo diners or automatically steer them toward bar seating, so I really appreciated having a proper table where I could relax and enjoy the live jazz band. Now, let's talk about the food! The filet mignon was perfection. I'm usually a ribeye girl, but this was tender, perfectly cooked to a medium temperature and perfectly seasoned that it definitely impressed me. I opted for the three-course dinner, which is an excellent value. The lobster bisque was also outstanding, with a flavorful piece of lobster that made it even better. And a word of advice: don't make the same mistake I did and eat all the bread before your meal arrives! It was so good that I was practically full before dessert even made it to the table. Between the exceptional service, delicious food, and live jazz, this was such a lovely dinner. I'll definitely be back on my next visit!

She was given a small dessert & given a glass of champagne. We will be back & CAN not rave enough about this Place! Eddie V's is where it's at!

Great ambiance, food, staff, service, drinks, decor, I loved it all!!!!…read more I picked to come back for Mother's Day. We had reservations, and we were seated on time. We never sat inside so were super excited . And I must say it was absolutely perfect. We must have had 5 separate ppl taking great care of us. Made us feel like VIP. The food was beyond delicious. We finished all 6 Courses. Greek food at its finest! I can't wait to go back.

We had a large group, and they seated us at 2 separate and crowded tables in the side room, which was less than ideal (with a reservation). It also got really hot because the room was packed. They were pushing us to order everything family style, but everyone wanted to order individually. The two of us weren't super hungry, and asked for our entrees to be on a separate check before ordering, which they would not do. Since I knew we were going to end up splitting the check with the one table, I ended up getting a more expensive entree to make up for the apps and drinks we weren't having (I already had a drink from the bar and my husband doesn't drink). I settled on the special lobster carbonara (which I think was $75). Good, but overpriced. My husband had the filet mignon - it was cooked as requested but we prefer more seasoning. A friend passed her grilled scallops over to us to finish - I took one bite and it tasted like ammonia. I discreetly spat it out. For her sake, I hope the rest didn't taste like that. The atmosphere was loud and hard to have conversations. They did a conga line around the restaurant later in the evening. Not really my scene. Service was slow and it didn't seem like they could handle big groups, even when split up. We ended up staying here for about 3 hours. We ended up leaving before we were even offered dessert. Also, keep in mind they have valet parking.

The only thing they responded to was the bell coming from the kitchen. The menu was enticing. Lot of good things on it including the daily specials. I ordered the Arincini which was beautifully presented but were only mildly warmish with some cold spots mixed in. Disappointing. For entree I ordered the spaghetti alla carbonara. It was once again not served hot but was somewhat warmer than the arinicini but not by much. They could step up their game and brew their own ice tea instead of serving bottled ice tea. It's pretty easy to make ice teas with various flavors. Was a cute place, tables a little close together but was clean, nice lighting and decor. As a customer I would have expected more attention to our glasses, check on how the food was occasionally.

I wish she had told us this sooner, as we had to place a new order for my in-laws while we were almost done with our own food. strange that they were out of snow crab legs and dungeness crab so early in the evening and with so few customers. also the restaurant is freezing cold, dingy, and dark, which adds to the over all unpleasant dining experience. definitely skip this place!

Very spacious restaurant with lots of seatings. We were seated immediately on a Friday night. We all ordered the combo/mix-and-match and the portions were huge!! Loved the seaweed oyster soup and grilled mackerel. Others ordered the LA galbi which was probably one of the best we've had. So flavorful. Seafood pancake was also good. Prices were very reasonable. Staff were very friendly. Service was attentive and fast. Our Korean friend said their kimchi was one of the best she has had. No wonder the restaurant actually sells it in a jar. Only complaint is it's tiny parking in the front but street parking is also available. This restaurant definitely has become one of our favorites.

The broth was decent but not great; it leans more on the herbal side and isn't as spicy as other places. Oyster, Seaweed & Beef Soup (3/5): Packed with seaweed, but only came with about 5 oysters and very little beef. The broth had a strong, decent seafood flavor. Fried Spanish Squid (3/5): This wasn't on the menu, but I was excited they could make it since I'd seen photos from 7 months ago. However, it was baby squid rather than the body of the squid. It also felt a bit overcooked, lacking that fresh, chewy texture

When I told my mom where we were going her reaction- "omg that place is still around?!? It use to be excellent back in the day!" Well I am happy to report this place is just as good today as it was during my mother's heyday. I decided to get a few oysters and clams to start off with and everything was just so fresh. As an entree the Seafood in a spicy red sauce was easily one of the best I have had in a very long time. There was a generous amount of seafood within the dish, the sauce I swear I could just drink it out of a cup and the pasta was cooked perfectly. My husband got the bbq ribs which I didn't try but you could see how they just slid right off the bone and he couldn't stop talking about how good they were. We ended our meal with some strong espresso. I enjoyed how it is a very casual atmosphere with a nice bar area that had a few TVs to watch some sports games. No need to dress to impress. The service was a little bit on the slower side but the waitress was very nice. The man who brought out my oysters, I asked him which were the east coast and which where in the west coast oysters, along with asking him where in the west coast my oysters were from and he couldn't tell me. I just think a place should just know these things is they are selling them. Nonetheless we still really enjoyed ourselves and can't wait to return.

The Jersey Shore restaurants will always have an advantage when it comes to seafood because of location. North Jersey offers a diverse, high-quality seafood scene, ranging from upscale Mediterranean-style fish markets to casual, beloved neighborhood spots. Situated less than 2.5 miles from MetLife Stadium, Biggie's has been a neighborhood institution located off of Route 17 South in Carlstadt and is best known for its clams-on-the-half-shell and wide selection of beers on tap. My partner, our friends, and I have been to this family-owned establishment numerous times and decided to have dinner last night. The reservation was easily made via OpenTable. Upon entering this casual vibe, we were greeted by the host. There is a lively sports bar side full of TVs and a dining room side, where we got a booth immediately by the window. Their menu has a wide array of options, rivaled only by the countless photographs and mementos that fill nearly every inch of wall space. There are many sandwiches, a half-dozen salads, thin-crust pizzas, and a substantial range of pastas. For starters, we decided on two dozen East Coast oysters on a half shell and Steamed Mussels with white wine butter broth. A side of Italian bread was brought for dipping. As a main meal, we opted for the Turkey Chili, Baby Back Ribs, Fried Calamari, Caesar salad, and Fries. The food was excellent and delicious, using the freshest ingredients. The portions were healthy. The staff went out of their way to make one feel welcome, creating a friendly and comfortable atmosphere. Our server was Hadiyah. The price was reasonable. The Garden State's seafood scene is a testament to the state's rich maritime heritage, offering something for every palate, whether one's a regular or a first-timer. This is why people keep coming back week after week.
