We were able to make a reservation, and the restaurant was kind enough to extend our reservation when we were delayed -- especially on one of their busiest nights of the week. Maria was exceptionally nice and helpful in making reservations. Food was delicious and enjoyable throughout all the courses. The Picanha and Beef Short Ribs were my favorites of the Rodizio. My parents split a steak entree and the salmon - the restaurant was kind enough to split both entrees on two plates for each of them. Both servings were generous. Had an Old Fashioned and a Caipirinha - both were excellent. They also have an extensive wine and whiskey menu. Service was pretty good. I would say the only hiccup was the food took forever to come, which seems strange for Rodizio. But I attribute the delay to the tardiness of two folks in our party, and a little inexperience of our server. But aside from that, he did a good job. We got to meet the manager Tatiana, who was fabulous - you can tell she cares about her craft, and the owner Joe, who was exceptionally kind and friendly. My niece and his son apparently went to the same school, so it was truly nice to make the acquaintance. I love to support small business, and it doesn't get better than this. I will make sure to stop here again soon - this was a fantastic experience.

I've heard that's common with Brazilian cuisine, but it was too salty for me. The paella was surprisingly small portion-wise compared to the way most restaurants serve it. And, the rodizio was a slow journey....the meat came out so slowly that it wasn't enjoyable.

So yes, by my highly scientific logic, this is also a Mexican spot. The decor definitely leans Mexico, heavy, which its amazing, kept reminding me of my favorite Mexican restaurant. But anyway, we're not here for interior design, we're here to eat. There's a LOT going on here, menu wise and vibe pwise, but in a good way. I ordered the Sandwiches de Miga 'Olímpico' and if you haven't tried them yet, that's a personal failure you can still fix. They're a must. Soft, classic, comforting... except for the edges. The edges were... questionable. Hard/frozen-ish. Not blaming anyone directly, maybe the fridge settings were on "Antarctica," maybe they weren't fully thawed. We'll never know. But that first bite hurt emotionally. It was like ordering a burger without pickles, taking a confident bite, and BOOM! pickle. Suddenly your whole day shifts slightly off center. Service wise: the guy at the counter stared at me, I started my order with zero greeting, felt like human self checkout, and I'm fine with that. Sometimes you don't want conversation, you just want carbs. Despite the frozen edge plot twist, I'm 100% coming back. The food has real potential, the place has character, and I need to try their asado.

We received nice, friendly, and attentive service from the owner or manager who sat us right away. We received two menus the regular one and a weekly specials one. We ended up ordering an item from each : (specials) a buffalo chicken salad and from the regular menu a French onion soup and fish and chips as well as a Guinness. The French onion soup was tasty, the salad from the weekly specials was rely big! A huge portion we just needed to ask for dressing on the side. But the winner was the fish and chips dish crispy and nothing better than those thick-cut fries. The fish and chips come with tartar sauce and coleslaw on the side. Overall worth it if you are driving by the Route 46 west area. Really delicious food and good service.

We ordered Burrata Rustica and…read moreFried Calamari for apps: the burrata was smooth, creamy, and fresh tasting and the fried calamari was tender, though the sauce was a little too sweet and there was a little too much of it for my liking. My mom and I had the Veal Scallopini for our entrees and it was wonderful- cooked perfectly and the tagliatelle was a nice al dente. My husband really enjoyed his Rack of Lamb and received it very rare, just like he requested; and my dad loved his Halibut special in a pomegranate sauce that was also nice and tender. For desserts, I had the Creme Brulee which was melt-in-your-mouth good, my husband had the raspberry sorbet which he really liked, and my dad had the carrot cake, also very good. The service was also excellent, with Mattar himself coming to say hello. Overall, a very satisfying experience- will definitely go again!

The owner also consistently walks around to ensure that his guests are happy, for years! This time we started with the soup special, Guinness beef stew, SO good. Then we had the oysters which were delicious. For our entrees, I had the branzino which was also delicious. My hubby got the short rib pastrami special...WOW! We thought it was going to be a type of Reuben sandwich, but it was a platter, and it was amazing, so I'm glad it was suggested to us by the staff. We normally don't have room for dessert, but we made sure to try one of them since they are all homemade; we tried the red velvet cake, which was really good! Our dinner and dessert beverages also complemented our meals. This is definitely a place you want to try!

The customer service is a time capsule of an era where a business strived to make your visit special and memorable with quality food and great service and not by some trend or gimmick. One thing that is not in the past is their skilled ability to provide a safe meal for those who are vegan, gluten free and or dairy free. I've never been to a restaurant that can turnout amazing authentic Italian food made with regular flour while also being able to provide a safe gluten free and or dairy free alternative of the same caliber. They have an efficient system that makes it clear there are people with dietary restrictions at the table and they take it very seriously. With all those great things to say, the food is what is worth writing home about. A gluten free chicken Parmesan that no one would ever guess was gf! A delicious gf df chocolate lava cake to end the meal was such a treat and was delicious. The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable and attentive, they're a well oiled machine! And it was very nice for the grandson of the original founders to walk around and talk to us, not just a how is everything tonight kind of stop either, he really took the time to make pleasant conversation about the World Cup and ask how our son did at his soccer tournament. They have been around for 56 years and if our visit was anything to go off, they'll be around for another 100 years!

The way they show pictures of "today's specials" on an iPad type device is a nice touch. The meatball app had good flavor as well as the ricotta that came with it. The fiancé had the pear purse which is always a very good. Also the Eggplant Pisa salad that came with my lunch paring was very very good and I would eat it again!!! The bad. The meatball app, although tasty, was only two small meatballs (basically the size of a soup spoon!!) for 15 bucks. So I don't care for the cost compared to the value you get for it. Also I am a snob for chicken parm and this chicken was overcooked and dry. The bread crumbs were soggy and would have been forgiven if the chicken itself wasn't so overcooked and dry!!!! My over all is this. Been to mamas many times before this review and I think they are worth your time (even more so during dinner time!). They do more things right than they ever do it wrong. So I would still recommend going. I just wouldn't recommend it to the New Jersey Chicken parm Facebook page........

The food was pretty good although one burger was slightly under cooked it was not terrible. The portions were big and the fries come plain so you can add whatever you need to, to make them the way you like them.

You get ignored during happy hour when standing right in front of the bartender (who was having a *very important* conversation with a patron, her boyfriend, or maybe the owner?!?) The food sucks.

Hell, they're down the street from Melicks. The place was basically empty on a Wednesday at dinner time. Says everything you need to know. Stay away. Far away.
