    Short ribs, chicken, rice, fries and broccoli
    Marie G.

    The food here is always just ok. I was very hungry and ate it all but did not love it. The soup was not good. I did like that then gave us an entire load of bread. I asked for hoy sauce and they gave me none

    Garlic chicken & Shrimp
    ChiChi A.

    So when I walked in I was seated immediately and my order was taken. This might be because I was the only one there but hey a compliment is a compliment. My food came out quickly and I would say everything was good other than the chicken. The chicken was fried too hard for my liking and it was just a lot of bones. I would go here again but I would not get the garlic shrimp and chicken.

    Most pieces were fried bones with very little meat.

    Terrible service, unseasoned and cold food. They took an extra $15 from my card without my authorization. I do not recommend it.

    I came here on a Thursday night and sat at the bar. There were a few people dining in but it wasn't…read morebusy at all. We started with some olives and bread, which came out warm, but was hard because it was almost burnt. It was still tasty once I spread some butter on it. I ordered the octopus a lagareiro. It came with onions, peppers, baked potatoes and broccoli rabe. It was soooo good! A 10/10. The octopus was cooked perfectly and was a healthy amount. I will definitely go back just for this meal. My guy got the salmon steak cut. It was cooked perfectly. Overall it was good meal and great service. I can't wait to go back for the octopus!

    I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the level of service I have received. My…read moreconcerns involve not only poor customer service, but also what I perceive to be biased and unequal treatment toward African American individuals. During my interactions, I experienced unprofessional behavior, lack of respect, and inadequate support from staff. Communication was dismissive, and my concerns were not handled with the attention or seriousness they deserved. This alone is troubling, but what raises greater concern is the pattern of treatment that appears to disproportionately affect Black customers. It has become increasingly difficult to ignore the differences in how individuals are treated. There seems to be a noticeable lack of courtesy, patience, and fairness extended toward African American customers compared to others. Whether intentional or not, this kind of behavior contributes to an environment that feels discriminatory and unwelcoming. Customer service should be grounded in respect, equality, and professionalism for all individuals, regardless of race or background. The experience I had does not reflect those values, and it is unacceptable. I am requesting that this matter be taken seriously and reviewed thoroughly. This should include evaluating staff conduct, providing additional training if necessary, and ensuring that all customers are treated fairly and without bias moving forward. I hope to see meaningful steps taken to address these concerns. Gostaria de expressar a minha insatisfação com a experiência que tive no Algarve, a qual considerei tendenciosa e marcada por um atendimento ao cliente pouco profissional. Durante a minha visita, senti-me mal tratado, especialmente pelo funcionário José. A sua postura e atitude demonstraram, de forma consistente, um ar de desprezo ao lidar com clientes negros. Essa conduta foi desconfortável e inaceitável. Além disso, observei uma diferença clara no tratamento quando clientes portugueses brancos ou outras pessoas brancas entravam no estabelecimento. Nesses momentos, o ambiente mudava visivelmente, tornando-se mais acolhedor e respeitoso. Esse contraste no comportamento evidencia um tratamento desigual. Essa situação transmite um forte tom de discriminação racial e um padrão seletivo na forma como a equipe atende clientes negros. Esse tipo de atitude não deve ser tolerado em nenhum ambiente de atendimento ao público. Espero que esta questão seja levada a sério e devidamente investigada, com medidas tomadas para garantir um tratamento justo, respeitoso e igualitário para todos os clientes. Atenciosamente,

    I really miss Portuguese BBQ in NJ from when I used to work in Newark, but rarely come out this way…read moremuch anymore. BBQ joints dotted the landscape in the Ironbound neighborhood. But I found Long Ave BBQ on a Yelp search and on a trip back on I-78, I took a detour through Hillside to pick up dinner. The place reminds me of all the hole-in-the-wall places in the Ironbound with stainless steel covering everything, a brick pit charcoal grill and a giant ventilation hood sucking all the smoke up through the chimney and the whole neighborhood smells like BBQ. One innovation I see is that they use a motorized grill basket system that's constantly turning a bunch of grill baskets with chicken & ribs sandwiched in them. After perusing the menu, I order the Parrillada Portuguesa, a huge family meal for 6 people, that'll last my little family of 3 for 3 days. The PP comes with grilled chicken breast, a half chicken, pork ribs & cross sliced beef short ribs (Korean LA Kalbi style). The slices of chicken breast are too dry and with not a lot of flavor, but the pork ribs have that Ironbound Portuguese charcoal flavor I miss so much (even though a few ribs were a little tough to chew). The BBQ half chicken is alright, but not as much flavor as Peruvian rotisserie style and the short ribs are not as good as Korean style. I think they should do whole beef ribs Southern style, low and slow or even a whole beef brisket would be great. The Parrillada comes with 2 side dishes that are not shy by any means. You get an aluminum tray filled with 1/2 french fries and 1/2 rice that will be enough for 3 meals also! Next time, I would come back just for a full rack of the pork ribs, but I hope that the pitmaster doesn't overcook it.
