I was in the mood for Portuguese BBQ and wanted to get some takeout…read more I decided to try Brasa Wood- Fired Grill. I placed my order over the phone and it was ready in 25 minutes for pickup. I started with 2 Beef Empanadas. They were hot with a crispy outside and a soft and tender inside. They were good. Brasa offers a variety of fillings for their Empanadas like Chicken, Pork, or Beef. I then chose for my main dish their Large size Chicken Picadinho. It's enough for two people. I must say after trying many other places that Brasa Wood Fired Grill has the best Picadinho in the area. What makes theirs so good is they add potatoes and sausage in it with the Chicken and Yellow Rice. Their Yellow Rice was very moist and tender it wasn't dry like other places. I really enjoyed every bite. Brasa offers Salads, and a Variety of different Sandwiches, Sides like Sweet Plantains, Mexican Street Corn, Burgers, Shrimp in Garlic Sauce, Wings, Shrimp Ceviche and more. This place is casual with a warm and cozy feel.The staff is very nice and friendly. They do have some seating for dining in. The food is delicious! This will definitely be my go to for Portuguese BBQ.

Food is 4 stars. Tastes like authentic Portuguese bbq and they have all the right sauces like…read moregarlic aioli and chimichurri. NOTE: the beef ribs that everyone's talking about are sliced short ribs. Don't think those big bone beef ribs you get at American BBQ joints. Devil is in the details. What made this place a 3, star is that the staff doesn't introduce the menu and items well. For example, I got the beef ribs with vegetables and sweet plantains (both VERY good btw), they failed to explain that there are SPICY PICKLED VEGETABLES THAT GOES WITH IT. I took a bite of the cauliflower thinking it was the vegetables side, and spat it right out because it's the Portuguese style pickled veggies. If someone didn't eat spicy that would definitely mess them up. Ambiance? None, it's basically a small bodega with 3 pairs of booth seats and 5 bar seats. How is it colder in the restaurant than outside (it is currently March)

Servers were all polite & professional. The drinks were perfect & the food was incredible. We had the Rodizio and absolutely no part of it disappointed. This place definitely has made my list of places to suggest for work parties &/or retirement dinners. I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of everything. I won't do individual Grades this time, as Rodizio is a non-stop assortment of meats & cuts. There was no "weakest link" in this. Disclaimer, I did not eat any of the sides that came with the Rodizio, cause I didn't wanna use up any stomach space, lol. So I can't vouch for those.

First of all, the service here is the best I have experienced in years. The employees make you feel welcome, almost as if you are joining them at home for dinner. This place is 1000% made for meat eaters. My favorite was the Chicharron, chicken wrapped in bacon, and the lamb. The French fries were delicious. The sweet plantains were a nice touch and I couldn't get enough. Honestly, I can't say I ate anything bad this night. I look forward to being back.

We have eaten many times in the pass under the previous management. Stuff lobster was always our choice for the night. But our experience last night was not a good one, The lobsters that were served had a lot of green stuff ( lobster crap ) coming out of the part when we detached the tail from the lobster. We believe that the lobsters were not cleaned properly before being stuffed. It was gross. We also ordered a small sangria and the total amount for our dinner last night was $189 plus tip. The $200 spent for our dinner last night was not worth it. We expect it more for the money spent.

My review is based on takeout only: I've been wanting to try…read morethis place for sometime, I decided to get take out, because I don't live in the area and I was passing through. I got 2 orders of their bbq chicken with rice and I chose black beans instead of pinto beans. Hot sauces are a must. The portions are a nice size. The chicken was grilled and then finished in the oven. I was watching them cook it while I waited. The grilled chicken had good flavor. The rice and beans were very good too. The staff was nice. They do have a dining room with some seating. There is street parking, and small parking lot for a few cars to park Hamilton BBQ has a nice variety to chose from on their menu. All in all it was pretty good. (Beware if you use a Credit Card they will charge you an additional 3% on your order. )

Our Go-To Spot for BBQ - Nothing Compares!…read more We've been loyal customers of BBQ 28 since the day they opened, and after trying many other BBQ spots, nothing else even comes close. The food is consistently delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The establishment is split into two sections. On the right side is the takeout area, where you can see the staff preparing everything right in front of you - from the perfectly chickens, steaks, ribs, to the freshly made rice. Their shrimp in garlic sauce is amazing as well as their salads, the dressing is the best, it should be bottled and sold. It's an experience just watching them cook! The food is always hot and ready, and the staff are incredibly friendly and efficient. We usually call ahead to place our order, and it's typically ready in about 20-30 minutes. On the left side is the sit-down restaurant, which has a warm, welcoming vibe. If you just can't wait to get home to enjoy your meal, you can always head next door and dine in comfortably. Whether you're grabbing takeout or sitting down for a meal, BBQ 28 never disappoints. Highly recommend - the food is always steaming hot, and the service is top-notch!

They seem to be doing a lot of take out, but there is a dining room with 6 or 7 tables. We were greated and served by Alexandria, who was friendly and attentive. She made some recommendations that did not disappoint. The sauteed chicken with garlic sauce had tons of flavor. We tried all the empanadas : chicken, beef, and spinach-cheese and they were excellent. Super-flaky and big and tasted great. We also got the beef short ribs and they were tender the way i needed. The bbq chicken and pork rib combo is another great dish. The Pork cubes dish has plenty of chorizo with loin chunks and sauteed veggies. Everything came with a brocolli, cauliflower and carrot medly that was cooked perfectly. I hate overcooked veg, and these were just right. The rice side dish was large and fluffy and I kept going back for more of the black beans side. This place is worth a return, the standouts being the garlic chicken and crispy empanadas.
