Both the bar and the dining room were empty, which had us a bit worried. They even had to turn on the dining room lights for us. But we stuck it out and were glad we did. Food was delicious. The only complaint, and it is minor, is that my sauce had a lot of bay leaves in it and they didn't remove them. I had to hunt down and remove the whole and broken leaves, since they aren't really edible. And re the empty restaurant, that resolved itself by the time we left. They were seating a party of 10 in the dining room. And the bar had 2 tables of 4 and 2 tables of 2 (12 total) all eating what looked like good food. Somehow we managed to hit them during their Sunday evening lull. We didn't try it, but the very nice owner tells us they specialize in charcoal grilled chicken. He made it sound good and it is on our list to order next time we're in the area.

I also had their "The Antonio" sandwich, which what sounds like a simple sausage egg and cheese sandwich will become one of the best you ever had. Parking is street parking and this place can become crowded. Lines can form and very limited seating given how popular this place is. Would recommend! Rating: 7/10 Pros: Egg tarts, Antonio Cons: Size of store, potentially long lines, limited seating

Can't fight it. The waitress talked me down from a full size platter to half size... then said we would like their soup? umm... unclear on what you're selling... but I'll go with the half sized (for one person that is the right amount). Next they brought out bread. Didn't seem fresh baked. I tried the bbq sauce (yellow dispenser) and hot sauce (red), both "meh" flavor, doubt either is homemade. The main course: I ordered cubed chicken. Indeed, the half platter can feed a whole family. But it came with other ingredients not listed on menu. The rice has carrots and peas, also not listed. Sauce was good at least, brown and... well a bit oily and salty though. "Seems like instant rice?" was feedback I heard. Lesson to restaurant: the amount of things that you learn only by receiving your food should be zero. Put everything up front. My stars are coming elsewhere with me.

Wow, what an incredible find in a random corner behind a gas station in Flemington! We came to the…read moreSanta train nearby and were starving when we got out so we took to Yelp to help us find something yummy to eat and landed here. We were a party of 7 so we had to wait a few minutes for a table since it is a smaller restaurant. But this gave us an opportunity to look at what people were ordering and make the right choice! Here are my two HIGHEST recommendations: get the garlic shrimp with sausage (ask for extra bread) and the half roasted chicken with ribs, get a SMALL side of black beans. The chicken and ribs are enough to feed two people easily, but you truly CAN NOT miss out on these garlic shrimp. I dream of them often and think about taking the one hour drive to Flemington just to get them. The service was also extremely friendly and were not bothered that our kids were playing with Legos on the table and we kept asking for additional orders of things we liked....like the shrimp and sausage. Please do yourself a favor and make sure to go check them out! Did I mention I would definitely be sure to order their garlic shrimp and sausage??

While Philly has plenty to boast about in terms of offering cuisine from places like Mexico, China,…read moreItaly, and Vietnam, there are some countries whose foods do not have such presence here. Portugal would be one of those countries. When I visited Tierra Colombiana, I noticed a Portuguese restaurant across the street and vowed to check it out. While many of the Portuguese restaurants I have visited have been more upscale- Iberia seemed pretty casual which had me wondering about the food quality. But I liked what I saw when I looked at the menu- lots of meat and shellfish, and sausage on fire. When an appetizer is offered on fire, I can't really say no. Just like flamining saganaki- every time I order chorizo that is still on fire when served, I feel the same excitement I did as a kid. As I sipped my $2.50 glass of red, the "longaniza portuguesa" came out in flames, and crisped up in front of our eyes. Its a really flavorful sausage, though it might be too heavy to eat on your own. We also shared a dish of pork and clams with fried potatoes- enough for a group ($17). While the pieces of pork were dry, the clams, crisped potatoes, and especially the broth, were really impressive. I didn't feel bad drinking the buttery broth by the spoonful.

The owner would only take my issue seriously once I had to revisit in person. After we pulled slips and proved the tip scam really happened and it's clear I did get my $ back.
