Receipt from pick up that didn't happen.

Extremely Disrespectful and Unwelcoming This establishment's treatment toward Black customers and delivery drivers is outright disrespectful and unacceptable. I visited Route 22 BBQ on 11/6/24 at 2:30 pm to pick up an UberEats order, and the experience was shocking. Upon entering, I quietly waited as two white customers were served in a calm, respectful manner. When my turn came, however, the man behind the counter immediately started yelling, repeatedly shouting "accept it now!" before I could even confirm the order. I tried explaining that I needed to take a photo of the food as part of UberEats protocol, but he only got louder. His volume and aggressive tone were so unsettling that even the kitchen staff stopped to see what was happening. I remained calm and attempted to de-escalate, but he refused to hand over the food, saying I didn't have to take it. It was apparent that my presence as a Black person was treated differently from the white customers who faced no such hostility. No one--especially someone doing their job--deserves to be humiliated and yelled at like this. It's clear that this restaurant has no respect for Black customers or delivery drivers, and I would caution anyone against supporting an establishment with such a disregard for basic decency and respect.

Who doesn't love Portuguese BBQ? It's a silly question because everyone should love Portuguese BBQ. My family has platters like this pretty often, I feel like I've grown up on them! My mom came over for dinner but instead of cooking, we went with a few trays from here. We got the chicken with rice and salad and the salmon with rice and beans. And of course a side of fried plantains. The chicken was amazing, juice and soft and so much flavor. My mouth is watering just writing this review. The salmon was also delicious and seasoned so well that it even tasted great cold the next day but it was a little dry. Overcooked fish is hard to bring back to its full glory so that's the only thing. Other than that it's all delicious and you can't go wrong. My tips are to skip the fries for take out because they get cold and soggy quick in my experience. And also to get extra beans! I love the black beans and there are just never enough. Also, don't skip the fried plantains. So good. Enjoy!

Salad

Was so excited to see that my favorite Brazilian/Portuguese BBQ spot is now on Uber Eats! I've been going here for 20 years and never without being completely satisfied! The food is delicious, always fresh and the portions are generous. The salad was smaller than in past orders (they used to give a tray, now it's a container) but with prices the way they are, it's still the freshest salad and worth every penny! I guarantee we get at least 5 meals from it for $85.04 I got: Half Chicken Lunch combo (yellow rice/fries) Whole tray Beef Ribs (black beans/yellow rice) A tray of Garlic Broccoli Maduros Salad Extra hot sauce Extra Dressing This included the fees, delivery and a $6 base tip. I tip cash for those that don't leave my food or give attitude.

The food is 5/5. There's so much food, and you def need to order the garlic sauce with it. Very affordable and delicious. It's takeout only.

Chicken Breast
Zac V.

HUGE PORTION for the chicken breast bowl w rice & beans, the chicken was very juicy & flavorful 10/10 would recommend

Please ignore the seltzer, this is not a commercial! Combo is good for leftovers,  OMG..  I just gave it away!

So I've been wanting to visit this place for years and today I felt for some bbq. The restaurant is…read moreconveniently found near vermella in Union across from Kean. There is a huge parking lot so there is ample parking even since the area is busy. The restaurant when I arrived was very clean. There was only one person in front of me ordering with a young man. The guy behind the counter was very friendly and patient and helpful to pick out the best of the menu. I ordered the 3 meat sampler with ribs, pulled pork and brisket. None of the sides looked too appealing so I left them out and didn't get the combo meal. To my surprise it was a whopping $30 for the 3 meats. Granted it is certainly enough to feed two people, I was expecting a side of some sort to come with it, a roll, something. Last minute I was given a cold slaw. Taste wise it isn't the best bbq I've had but if you're a carnivore like me...it will meet the need. The pulled pork had too many overcooked hard areas and the ribs were just okay. Will I be back? Maybe maybe not. I didn't eat anything that I would necessarily write home about but maybe.

Got TGTG from in Nov2025. It was for $9 but the retail value said it was for $27. It's a scam…read more Similar to Target/Amazon black Friday sale, they put a very hight retail price to make it seem like there's value. For $9 it's okay for 1 meal. I probably wouldn't stop by after trying this TGTG. I'd probably have to spend at least $60 to get a BBQ from here and it doesn't seem worth it. I would hit up Red white and Que in green Brook for decent BBQ around the area.

Excellent! Like stepping into your aunt/grandma's kitchen. Situated in the corner of the main road…read morestreet and lot parking. Staff is friendly and warm, seems like a reservation heavy establishment but we were able to snag a table for 4 upon opening. Shortly after arrival the rest of the tables of 4 and even 10 filled up quickly. The dishes are huge and we left with plenty of leftovers. Happy bellies with meals made from the heart. Spring rolls 5/5 what a huge plate! Crispy and delicious. Bulalo soup 5/5 really hit the spot. Piping hot and could feed all 4 of us as a side or 2 people as a dish. Beef noodle soup (5/5) (had a bit of sweetness in case folks aren't into that) it was incredible tasty, ample meat and veggies and packed with flavor. My girls shared this and still had leftovers. Kare kare oxtail (5/5) anther awesome dish, heavy peanut flavor, loads of veggies (love!) and definitely had leftovers Would absolutely come back and highly recommend. Simple and hospitable space for small and large parties, would suggest making a reservation.

It was about 25 minutes away from where we were but the great experience here made our drive worth. The place is very homey with a wonderful staff. Service is impeccable. The owners are very friendly and has great customer relations skills. The foods are excellent. We had the pleasure of trying their bangus sisig, pork bbq and caldereta. The tastes exceeded our expectations. We learned that their chef hailed from Luzon so the degree of cooking style satisfied our taste buds. The calamansi drink I had was fabulous. Honestly, the best I had so far. Our halo/halo dessert was heavenly. Satisfied our sweet tooth. The serving size is in huge portion. Each order is shareable by around 2-3 people. Pricing is higher in comparison to other place but proportioned to the serving size. I have one star less for my review for two reasons- 1.The check includes a service charge that confused us if a gratuity should be given or not. We need to Google first for right information. We ended up adding gratuity for their hospitality . 2. Looking for parking spot is challenging. We ended up downloading the town's parking mobile app to get parked closer. We are willing to return if ever we are near the area.
