    1/2 order of ribs
    Elizabeth C.

    We have past this place so many times and only live less than 10 minutes away and never stopped in. Very glad we did. We ordered the 1/2 order of ribs and the piccadinho misto. We shared everything and really enjoyed our meal. We had enough to take home for 2 more meals each with only the half order. Such a great deal. Next time we'll save even more money by ordering one full size dish. Our server was very nice as well as the woman behind the bar area. They both took care of us well.

    This is place is our FAMILY TOP FAVORITE!! From the friendliest service to the budget friendly menu with huge portion sizes for leftovers... Clark BBQ is the best! Flavorful, juicy, authentic, generous and shareable... despite the many churrasqueirias in pur area, this one's the best. Indior and outdoor seating is available, comfortable parking accessibility, and perfect location on a Raritan Ave corner. We eat-in and take-out from here all the time... and we have catered food from here almost exclusively. They're menu is extensive but we have found our family's favorites and we come bsck for the same every time. Its the kinda place where eventually everbody knows youre name!

    Breaded fish filet salad.  Generous on the portions. Very good
    Mike J.

    Very good place to drop in on if your in the area. Not much for the rest in. Few tables that's it. But take out is plentiful as I seen while eating. I tried a breaded fish salad that was really good that I ate there. Fresh and tasty for sure. And got a order to go. fresh tilapia w/ shrimp cooked in a house cream sauce served w/ rice & vegetables I tasted it once got home and it was really good. Potatoes were cooked very well. Needed little salt and pepper but really good. Shrimp and fish was perfect. Can't wait to finish it later. I pass this place all the time going and coming from the bowling alley. So the menu is generous. So I'll be trying more from here.

    The waiter came to our table as we sat down! We normally travel to Newark, but this will be our new spot to eat Delicious Portuguese food Chorizo garlic, shrimp, steak, grilled chicken out of this world, and a picture of sangria. Amazing was amazing. The ambience was very cozy. Will definitely be back.

    This restaurant is very popular, with a strong local following. I stopped in at 4:30 PM on a Saturday for a takeout order, and it was packed. I hadn't been here in ages, so I gave it a shot. These Portuguese BBQ joints all operate the same way, serving generally overcooked char-grilled meats with huge helpings of rice and/or potatoes for cheap. This place is slightly above average for the category. The chicken skin was seared just right, chargrilled with a flavorful rub. The dark meat was moist, but the white meat was dried out. I avoid deep-fried food, so I ordered the corn and rice. The corn was inedible, flavorless and tough. The rice with the shredded carrots was good, nicely seasoned. Taking this home in the covered aluminum foil pan usually guarantees dried-out chicken or ribs and soggy fries. This food might be better if you eat it there, as long as you can stand the tumult and way-too-loud music.

    Typical tasty portuguese barbecue with huge portions. Differently from other places, this one has a liquor license. The place looks like an old diner, very charming. There is parking in the back. Cheap, great for takeout but comfortable for dine-in.

    Ribs and fries. Delish.
    David B.

    Our family has been coming here a long time. Every visit and/or take out order is a treat. There are a lot of these Portuguese type bbqs in North Jersey. Most are forgettable serving up weirdly butchered cuts of meat to maximize profits. More than six years ago, my wife's friend, who lived nearby in Linden recommended we try the place. We did and have never looked back. Want good Sangria? It's here. The ribs are full ribs, not the hacked up stuff you find at nearby places. Great grilled chicken. The Picadinho is awesome. No dried out chunks of pork here. Juicy, with crisp potatoes. Such a winning dish. Portions are large. Sides are flavorful. We love their fries and rice. Does your mileage vary? Great! Don't write me. A welcome oasis on Raritan Road.

    Grilled short rib
    Nunki W.

    Last day in Jersey! I saw this place nearby from yelp apps. So I figured why not, only 3 minutes away. It was a small place in the corner. Quite convenient. For small place they are quite busy. I saw a lot of take out. And quite busy in the dining room as well. I ordered grilled short rib. It came with rice and fries but I opt to just get fries . I ordered rib medium rare but it's more medium. A tad bit disappointed but I still like the flavor and I still enjoy it. The waitress is nice, so 4 stars is appropriate.

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.

I called in for a big party, and they did an excellent job with the table-setting & location. Secondly, the food: Their apps are absolute winners. Our table got the Bavarian Soft Pretzel ($12) and the 12-piece wings ($22). Both came out hot and full-of-flavor! Both were excellent with a cold beer. For my main, I actually got a special which was not on their main menu. It was a Fajita Burger served with (you guessed it...) fajita fries. I added jalapenos for an extra kick. It was very good, but the buns are quite thick, so I actually just ate it with the bottom bun intact. The burger patty itself is quite thick which I enjoyed in this current smash-burger phase our world is currently in. Don't sleep on a pub burger. For dessert, it was one of our friends birthday, and as you can see --- they decorated it nicely! Not "they", sorry, Sara - our waitress - did! She was such an awesome server, and communicated very well. Awesome experience + awesome setting + awesome food! Thanks Paragon for doing what you do!

    Visited some friends recently who took us to eat dinner at Paragon Tap & Grill. Before going, they…read moreclaimed Paragon was a great place to get food. From the outside, it didn't look like anything special or a place to rave about but I quickly learned why it was all the talk with them. Since it was a Saturday night, they had a nice crowd and the place itself had a feel of both a sports bar and a brew pub. The one side was more of a sports bar type of feel (or setup) and the other half had more of a brew pub type of feel. After looking at the menu, I decided to go with the healthier choice so I ordered the Drunken Parm Sandwich. I wish I took a picture of the sandwich when it came out because it looked very good and like it was made fresh. Almost immediately, the server came over to me to let me know that they made me real chicken rather than the vegetarian chicken and said she would take it back for the vegetarian chicken. I opted to keep it since I knew there was a chance it would probably get thrown out. I took one bite of the sandwich and I have to say, it was one of the BEST chicken parm sandwiches I've ever had. It was piping hot and tasted fresh. From the chicken, to the sauce, to the bun, it all tasted fresh and practically melted in my mouth. It was a little on the salty side but aside from that, it was made to perfection. To top the night, as we were paying the bill, our server Maya (who was very friendly and tentative during our visit) handed me a take out container with the veggie chicken parm sandwich in it AND the general manager Greg came over to me to apologize for the mistake and said the veggie chicken parm was on the house. It's very rare for me that this happens. I wish I lived closer to Paragon so I can go back more often but believe me, I'll be back there for drinks and dinner next time I'm in the area. I highly recommend going there. Their service, food, and drinks will not disappoint.
