OMG .. this place is amaze-zing!!!! I almost don't want to let anyone know about this place but I hope they stay around for a long time! We always take friends (local and out of towners) here - it's my favorite place on the island :-). The staff and owner are incredibly attentive and want to make sure you are happy with your meal. You really don't get service like this anymore and it's always so appreciated when we come here. The chicken is the stand out - fantastic flavor, crispy skin, juicy.. my mouth is salivating as I type this...nom nom nom! Sangria is fantastic, and don't EVEN get me started on dessert!!! Try the tres leche and egg tarts, you won't regret it.. Make reservations it get there early because this place is ALWAYS packed and with good reason ;-) read more

Amazing food! The steak is so flavorful and juicy, the service was very nice and the environment is nice aswell read more

We made a reservation online and were seated right away on a Friday night. It's a tiny place but it was packed! Waitress was great. Sangria: made fresh and to order. Delicious! Apps: shrimp in garlic sauce and potato chips. Delicious! Entrees: chicken in garlic sauce and I think it was called Mariscada Zarzuela which was a mix of seafood in green sauce. Salad is included. Delicious! We will definitely be back!! read more

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Manolo It's so nice to see a business thrive like this one that is run by a hard-working family Everything was delicious and plentiful Will definitely be back! read more

Ok this place is fantastic. Great good great service. Fantastic. Very nice Thanks The lamb chops were out of this world read more

Every dish was delicious and perfectly cooked! Great and friendly service! An absolute must!

Ordered a paella mariscada (seafood) a full tray for family coming over. It was huge. Three full lobsters and enough to feed 12 - 14. Everyone loved it and there were leftovers. Maria is extremely nice and the restaurant is quaint. read more

Just returned from a trip to Portugal. Had an amazing time and fell in love with their food. Telling my barber about the trip she tells me about a Portuguese restaurant in my neighborhood.Made a reservation asap. The food was outstanding and I might as well have been back. The people who work there are so nice and definitely know a thing or two about authentic food.I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Oh my gosh this place is phenomenal!!! If you're looking for good Portuguese food on Long Island this is the place you've gotta go. I absolutely loved it I've never had this kind of food before and I couldn't stop eating it was so good. The seafood was phenomenally fresh, everything was delicious and you know it was good because a table full of Italians was quiet. The service was spectacular, the owner is walking around serving patrons, making sure everyone is happy it was wonderful. Food comes out at a good pace, nobody was ever wanting for their food it was timed well so we could enjoy our company a bit and have food. The ambiance is lovely, it's nothing spectacular but it's just quiet. It has the perfect level of music, it's intimate and it's a lovely setting truly. Forget 5, this is a 10, I highly recommend checking this place out! Thank you for a great meal! read more

Everything that I have ordered is delicious. The service is great also. Manolos is a must try, if you haven't yet

This was my first time here. I Ordered churasco and this was the best that I've ever tasted it was juicy and the taste was amazing. Well prepared with yellow rice and beans. Folks I aka had the Tiramisu which was awesome. Notice that I don't write too many reviews. I'm very picky. If there were 20'stats I'd give them all to this restaurant Ambience was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant. You won't be disappointed. read more

Get the half chicken with yellow rice and vegetables. ( I swapped the veg for black beans) The crunchy skin was excellent and I brought home leftovers. However my friends had the pork chops that very thin and a little dry. Janet ordered the shrimp in green sauce which she liked but the sauce tasted like it was thickened with cornstarch rather than a roux. It's BYOB until they get their liquor license with no corkage fee. I suggest heading over now to negate the price point. Service was fabulous! read more

Amazing food with great flavor.I had the Brazilian sausage for appetizer which they also brought out warm bread with butter and salad. For my entree I had the garlic chicken with rice and veggies. Service was elite and I'll definitely be going back for some more yummy food. read more

I definitely recommend this restaurant. The owner and her husband who is the cook made us feel like we were guests in their house. I had the BBQ Half Chicken which was served with Rice, Vegetables and Chips. I also had the collard green soup. All was delicious. The restaurant is BYOB so this makes it even better. The ambience was nice. I wished I had room for dessert but I was stuffed. read more

Manolo's Churrasqueira - Half of BBQ chicken - Seafood Near Me - Bellmore, New York

Manoa was absolutely delicious. We ordered a bunch of things from the menu and absolutely everything was delicious. I really love the yellow Spanish rice. It was nice and soft which is what I was expected. The shrimp was incredibly fresh and I loved the sauce that they had placed it in. My husband really likes the chicken that was marinated just perfectly. The one item that I wasn't personally a fan of but maybe others will like is the cod fritters. It had some sort of crunchy sharp flakes on the outside that it was battered, and it was a little too difficult for me to personally chew and enjoy. I'm hoping to try the octopus and calamari next time. read more

First time visit.....we ordered the grilled dinner for 2 which was absolutely delicious! It included marinated steak, pork ribs, sausage, bacon wrapped turkey bites, yellow rice, black beans, fried bananas and fresh chips. No liquor but you can bring your own, if desired. The owner is very friendly. We plan on returning. read more

Manolo's Churrasqueira - Grilled dinner for two - Seafood Near Me - Bellmore, New York

So a brand new Portuguese Restaurant opened up in Bellmore and it's incredibly good. I felt the need to share it with all of you! They have dine-in service as well as take-out and is the perfect place for both lunch & dinner. Tonight, I got the shell steak and the half chicken with a salad to start and wow - everything was so fresh and tasty. The chicken was cooked perfectly and super juice. The rice was delicious and the steak was to die for, best shell steak I've ever had honestly. The salad was so fresh and the hot sauce was so good I ended up taking a bottle home to go! Here are pictures of their menu and a quick video from tonight. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! 5 STARS ALL THE WAY!!! Manolo's Churrasqueira 516-804-5656 2518 Merrick Rd (Bellmore) read more

BYOB Portuguese gem. Everything was so fresh and delicious. Food takes some time to come out but it's so worth it. Everything was so good. Hot flaky rolls to start. After seeing the grilled seafood platter I had to go for that. My wife had the garlic chicken. Don't know what dish the chips came with but make sure u get them. Everything was so yummy. Can't wait to come back and try some apps and other dishes. Make sure you ask for the house spicy sauce it's amazing. We couldn't get enough of it!!! read more

Great neighborhood restaurant! When you walk in you are ALWAYS greeted warmly by Julia (the owner, and her husband is the chef). You feel like you are entering their home. The service is ALWAYS excellent and the food is delicious and very generous portions. I never can finish my meal so I take the other half home and I have another dinner for the following night. We've tried many dishes and they were excellent., my favorite is the skirt steak, it is tender, juicy and seasoned very well. I highly recommend this hidden gem in Bellmore you will not be disappointed!!! read more

Went to Manolo's Churrasqueira on Merrick Rd in Bellmore for dinner last night. All I can say is WOW! Its a small place but the food was excellent!! It's run by a husband and wife, the wife was our server and was so sweet. We had several different items and each one was fantastic. I can't wait to dig into my leftovers later on, my entrée was huge and definitely enough for 2 meals. One thing to note, they didn't have any alcohol on the menu but I did see another table bring in a bottle of wine, so I'm assuming it's BYOB u til they get a liquor license. Definitely worth checking this place out! read more

We came here at the recommendation of a friend. Did not disappoint!! Food was fantastic and the service was excellent. We had codfish cake fritters for appetizer. Crispy on the outside and creamy smooth deliciousness on the inside. Wife had the Grill platter and I had the Mariscada in Green Sauce. Both were phenomenal. Some FYIs when you come: - Portions are large. (We took home enough for a full meal another day). -No alcohol. We were forewarned and it is not an issue for us but don't be deducting stars because you couldn't get an adult beverage. I was told that if you bring your own wine, they will uncork and serve at no charge, but this is second hand. -They have some Italian items on the menu. (Not sure why). We didn't try them so I will not comment on quality. I will say that the poor (one star) review I read was from someone who stated she wanted Portuguese food and ordered the Sole Francese. ...I'm just saying, that if she ordered one of the many Portuguese entrees she would not have been disappointed (although not definite as most of her other reviews are one star). -The place is small. Don't go for ambiance. Go for the food. (I have found that some of my favorite places are little "hole-in-the-wall" establishments). Overall, a great addition to the neighborhood! read more

Excellent food but terrible service. We went for a birthday, seated right away BUT then waited an hour and a half to get our dinner. Didn't expect to be there 2.5 hours on a Sunday night. The more or less ignored us until the food arrived. Asked for the manager but she never came to us until the food arrived. I totally UNDERSTAND things happen but its how a restaurant deals with it that matters most. They could have come over and apologized, given us something while we waited, even an apology and explanation would have gone a long way! Anything that acknowledged we were waiting way too long! They gave us one piece of cake, with one fork as an apology for six people to share. Seriously? read more

Deliciously prepared food! Friendly hosts! Salad, vegetables, yellow rice, crispy chips & amazing chicken! Can't wait to go back!!

This is a hidden gem! This place was amazing. The octopus was fresh and tender and the clams were so tasty. The collard green soup was loved by the men. The service was phenomenal. Please go see for yourself! read more

Wonderful hidden gem in Merrick. The owner Julia and her husband Manolo left a similar restaurant in Oceanside to open Manolos. It is well worth the trip from Oceanside to eat there. We have been there twice and Julia is always there to greet you with a warm hello and hug. All the apps are good and the homage bread is to die for. The Whole BBQ Chicken dinner is on point. It comes with a salad rice and beans and is reasonable priced. Last time there we had the BBQ Meats for 2 with all the sides and the meat was cooked perfectly. The portion was so large we had enough leftover for lunch the next day. Make sure you leave room for dessert because all the desserts on the menu are great. We had the Treis Leches this time. For the price you get plenty of food for your dollar. Love the soft dinner music too. Cant wait for our next trip to Manolos. read more

Went here with a friend last night for the first time. The restaurant is very cozy and homey. Service was beyond excellent (probably best I've had on Long Island since before the pandemic). The food was incredible. We shared stuffed clams appetizer that came in a zesty garlic sauce. I had the Portuguese steak which has a slice of ham and eggs on top in a vinegary sauce. My friend had Mozambique shrimp which were Devine, not hot but flavorful. They brought house hot sauce for the table. I also enjoyed the house wine. This is authentic food, feels like you are in Europe in all the best ways. Can't wait to go back with my husband we've been missing authentic Portuguese food. read more

So good! I used to frequent Antonio's in Oceanside and it is just as good! Even some of the same people work here!

Such warm customer service ! Feels like home! You won't be disappointed, so happy this came to Bellmore! Ebb read more

Food was very good but the service was lacking. Their take out service was very busy so it appeared they took care of those orders instead of the patrons sitting in the restaurant. The owner was very nice but serves as the only waitress and she takes care of the take out orders too. Three people are the bus boys/ hostesses and they are not quick on their feet we needed to flag help down to get a refill on our drinks and main meal took very long to be served. The dessert I had was disappointing. I had "coconut ice cream",which was nothing but a brick hard coconut ilalian ice. Not what I expect for a $160 meal. Overall food is good but service was poor. Next time I'll go for lunch before the busy take out hour. read more

Great place...lovely people and the food was delicious. Really a little gem ..it's byob if you want a drink. We had the mixed grill for 2 and it was as so good. My only knock is that the homemade potato chips were not salted at all but that's about it read more

The absolute best!! The best homemade hot sauce ever! The best friendliest owners. My whole family loves everything we get!!!

As in better expensive restaurants delightful service embellished our delicious meals. It was obvious our dishes were carefully prepared with love and pride... Recommended bistro for a real terrific taste of Portugal.! read more

Awesome, a must try! I think it's the best churrasquiera in the area. It's small but that's what you want. They pay more attention to detail. The food is made with love and you can taste it. The chicken, maduros and bacon shrimp were excellent. The entree came with 4 sides and the owner is the sweetest lady. read more

Amazing, fresh food! Everything we had was delicious. We will return. And portions are big!

Love this place! 3 of us for dinner, ordered the seafood stuffed mushrooms, fried calamari, skirt steak and shrimp and beef ribs. Delicious! Complimentary Fresh baked dinner rolls and olives. Our waitress was the owner and her husband does the cooking. Warm and friendly place, linen tablecloths and napkins. Try their hot sauce, so good read more
