A side of house made barbecue sauce spiked the flavor. The serving size was more the plentiful and they'll definitely be leftovers for another meal. Two sides of your choices are included with the platter. Indoor seating is limited to a few tables, so I recommend placing the order to go. #thepit #portuguesebarbecue #portuguesebbq #porkribs #bbqporkribs

The reviews said that their portions were pretty generous and I absolutely can confirm this! I ordered 2 meals - Garlic Chicken w Rice and Black Beans and the Sirloin with Cole Slaw and Salad and I honestly have enough food for 4 meals (& their prices are super reasonable). Everything was really flavorful and cooked to my liking and the perfect bite was honestly the garlic chicken with a bit of the rice and beans and a little taste of coleslaw lol. We will definitely order from here again.

Everything is always seasoned and cooked to perfection. Portions are large enough to share or better yet, don't share and have leftovers for lunch tomorrow! Know before you go- it's a BYO. If you have to wait for a table ( usually not a long wait) standing there while starving and smelling fire, smoke and meat is torture, but you'll appreciate your meal even more. Also when it's closing time, it's closing time. They're not shy about letting you know it's time to leave. Not rude at all but not the place to linger after hours. All in all, a terrific dining experience, part of my regular rotation.

The presentation of the food was excellent as well with a smoke show. The food was incredible too. I followed the reviews and got the smoked chicken which was a great choice. We also got the ribs and brisket. I definitely liked the brisket more than the ribs in case you are looking to make a choice. I got their special fries and I absolutely loved them. They were so lemony and garlicky. They have sauces that they serve with the food and some that are on the table as well. I think the sauces are definitely necessary. The meat is delicious but mildly seasoned. I live a bit far and I loved the food so much that I got brisket and smoked chicken to go as well. The brisket makes such an amazing sandwich with some sriracha aioli and cheese. The service was excellent throughout. We were seated immediately and everything was taken care of efficiently.

We arrived on a Saturday the place was absolutely packed but we were seated within about 5 minutes. We were seated right near the smokers and it was so cool to watch them prepare each dish. The presentation here is phenomenal as is the quality of all the meat here. A fresh salad with oil was brought complimentary to the table and it was delicious. We ordered the Buffalo smoked chicken wings and Baba-Ghanoj for appetizers. The chicken wings were so tender that as you picked them up the meat literally fell off the bone! The sauce was subtle but had a nice Buffalo kick at the end. The baba-ghanoj was served cold and was perfect with a little sprinkle of salt. The fresh pitas paired perfectly with it. I'm glad I did my research on this spot as everyone recommended the fresh mint lemonade. Wow amazing and refreshing I love that it came out as a slushy like consistency. I could easily drink them all day and they're probably amazing to eat outside in the warmer months and enjoy. We each ordered the meat platters in 1lb portions which are served with fresh smoked rice that is so good and filling. I wanted the beef shank but sadly they were out and ordered the smoked beef short rib. They served everything on a platter for us which the presentation I must say is outstanding . My boyfriend ordered the smoked brisket and it was so tender and flavorful he kept saying "it's terrible you won't like it because he didn't want to share it at all LOL". We had no room for dessert but I cannot wait to return for our next dinner date night! I would definitely give it 4/5 stars. Nothing was terrible the only complaints I had is once we were seated and our order was taken our server asked if we want appetizers first which we said yes and everything came out at once. Which is fine not terrible just our table was packed and hard to eat. Additionally once our food came out it was hard to get anyone's attention for more drinks but it was no too much of an issue that it ruined the night as they were definitely way too busy and seemed to be short staffed. I definitely want to return and check out the rest of their menu. I highly recommend making the trip to Kanoon!

Even though the interior was small, the tables were full when I got my pickup order. I was also early and acknowledged I didn't mind waiting, but the cashier quickly prepared my order, which was nice. The soy garlic wings sounded intriguing, and they were. Not too saucy, and the chicken was nice and crisp. They made such a great shareable for football but are obviously great for any chicken craving. The sides offerings weren't much, but I am intrigued to return and try a potato or rice dog. But yes, it was indeed good chicken, and it has a lot of chicken styles to fit everyone's satisfaction.

I ordered the chicken tenders with the honey garlic sauce and I'll give credit where it's due -- 10/10 flavor, well-seasoned, sauce was on point. However... the portion-to-price ratio had me side-eyeing a bit. $9 for just 3 tenders and no fries is questionable. The food tasted great, but I definitely expected more for the price. Overall, solid flavor and vibes, but the portions don't quite match the cost. I'd come back for the taste, just hoping the value improves.

The new kid on the block - WNB - is trying to siphon off patrons from the likes of Dave's Hot Chicken, Buffalo Wild Wings, Smashburger and... Panda Express?! Burgers to chicken to salads to... a fried rice bowl. (At the side counter they're offering the likes of mustard and ketchup as well as... soy sauce and duck sauce.) The place is bright, clean, classic rock playing in the background. (And I appreciated the tables being spread apart so the patrons weren't on top of each other.) Friendly crew behind the counter - I'm guessing it's a family affair holding it down back there. No booze but they do have one of those cool high-tech Coke machines with a touchscreen to pick from a ridiculous amount of options. Four of us all stayed in the chicken lane (spicy wings to tenders) and I gotta say: the chicken was noticeably tastier, fresher and just better than what you'd expect from a fast-food leaning chain. The fries were good, too - hearty and well-seasoned. (The only issue we had was that the food was served at an absurdly hot temperature and we were hungry and not patient enough to wait for the food to cool down.) Solid pricing (about $15 for a combo). Good portion size. Parking lot available.
