    1 rib and a chicken breast

    If i could give them zero stars I would. Since when does a half of a order consist of 1 rib and a piece of chicken. I spent over 40 dollars. I spoke to the owner she told me i have to call hillside location . Why should i when she is the owner. Didnt compensate me or anything i will never spend a dollar at neither one of her restaurants again. This is what i got for a half n half chicken and rib combo. I asked for barbecue sauce and utensils didnt even get 1 napkin. Then very rude on top of that when i called about my order.

    Impromptu visit from one of the best men in this cruel world. Our food was great. First time here, certainly not our last. Try the yummylicious chocolate cake or carrot cake.

    The food here is AMAZING! So hard to find a place that has an open pot for BBQ. I come all the way from NYC just to eat here. The staff is also very friendly and accommodating. I definitely reccomend the Combo dish so you can try a little of each thing.

    The place is small. Food took long to come out. Tables were filthy. Chicken was bland. Empanadas were salty. The rice was good. Only stopped here because we were at paint and chill up the street and we were starving

    Went here for lunch. Glad I went. Small restaurant. Friendly service. I had the chicken breast in garlic sauce. As a side I ordered rice and beans. Only $10! So flavorful and delicious. The portions were large enough for me to have leftovers for dinner. I will definitely be back. So glad I went.

    You got to try this!!!!  Yummy.

    The cabbage is bland. The ribs are okay. The chicken is just okay. The rice is bland. The fried plantains are great.

    Most food was not cooked right (under and overcooked). Nothing is seasoned well. Substitutions were made to order without being informed.

    Very warm, nice people, simple, lunch style dining space, delicious food!…read moreI tried a barbecue combination, which was priced inexpensively and created for a take-home service to a family. The leftovers will feed me for a week! Very happily I might add!

    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.

    I've actually been coming to Mama's on & off for years. Since they were at their original location…read more First time reviewing them, which I'm actually surprised. It's a local home cooking vibe, food is prepared fresh, so order ahead if you're in a rush. A small venue with its own small parking lot. Chill vibes, great smelling food. Staff is fast & efficient and the food is usually good. They are expensive, so be warned about that. They also do catering & you can find them at mobile events sometimes too. Give them a try if you're in the area. Today I had the Fried Chicken meal w/Yams and Mac & Cheese, and an Uptown to drink. Which for those who don't know, is Southern style Sweet Tea w/Lemonade. An 'Arnold Palmer' but way better. Fried chicken could be better seasoned. That's not a one time opinion, it's the same every time I get it.

Then they didn't have any more banana pudding at 1:55 pm. I had to get peach cobbler which is a mess and taste like syrup and sugar. I tasted the collard greens and macaroni and cheese and it was ok. I will not be returning as customer service is everything. The owner would be very disappointed at how her family is running this so called establishment. I spent 29.00 and like I said, the ribs could of been cooked a little more and whoever made this peach cobbler, please find something else you can try to make.
