If you're in the mood for amazing Portuguese BBQ, Fire Pit is the place to go. I'm a big fan of their chicken and rib combo, but my cousin's enthusiasm for the picanha finally convinced me to give it a try. I'm so glad I did - the picanha was cooked just right, with a lovely char on the fat that added a whole new level of flavor read more

I placed my order by phone at 8:22 PM and was told it would be ready in 30 minutes. It's now 9:23 PM, and I'm still waiting. The truth is, the food is really good, which is exactly why I stayed and waited. However, time management is definitely not their strong suit. I wouldn't recommend ordering from here unless you're prepared to wait at least an hour. The gentleman taking orders is always polite and says "30 minutes," but unfortunately that hasn't been accurate in my experience. read more

Ordered from Fire pit at 6:55 on Sunday July 5th. Talked to a human who asked us if the order was for pick-up or delivery. We said it was for pick-up. Ordered the tilapia and the salmon. We were told the order would be ready in 40 min. The call according to my phone lasted 1 min and 56 seconds Went to pick up the order and the restaurant had no record of our order. The people at the counter told us that we must have called another restaurant. we went home and called the same number we called at 6:55 p.m. and got the same restaurant who now say that they got the phone call but that it only lasted 0 seconds my phone says the phone call lasted 1 min and 56 seconds. The manager of the restaurant was not interested in finding out what happened to our order but offered us a chicken dinner. We ordered fish if we wanted chicken we would have order chicken but we wanted fish and order fish. I will not order from the Fire pit in Kearny again. read more

Great food, price is right, "Nick" was a pleasure when we called and placed an order to go- Bar-B-Que Chicken with Spanish potatoes and rice- this place was fantastic! read more

Sometimes the food is great, sometimes it isn't. What I noticed is that when they have a big rush, the quality goes down. The employees are always great though. I usually just do combo #1 and it can feed 3 people read more

I ordered takeout from here which took a long time but that's because it was Father's Day. Everything that we ordered was very good. I would definitely order again. I pass this place on my way home from work and after working a pretty awful Sunday shift, I decided to stop here. We ordered garlic, chicken and skirt steak and all of it was delicious. The sides were good, too. Next time I know to leave more time. If I had it to do over again I think I would have ordered half an hour earlier at least. Everyone in there was working very hard and they were very pleasant. I will order again. read more

Solid, solid and did I say this is solid?? We started off with the thick cut bacon which was out of this world and MORE THAN ENOUGH. For dinner, I keep telling my wife.... Why do we get 2 separate orders. We both got the chicken cube with chorizo and potatoes; I got mine with shrimp as well. It comes with a massive side of rice on the side. Chicken was tender and they cook it all on their BBQ right inside. Out of this world. And every time, there's always enough for an entire meal the next day. The crew inside is always very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is located on a semi-busy road but they do have their own private parking lot. They also have spots for indoor dining AND outdoor dining on a small patio area. read more

Fire Pit BBQ - Chicken and ribs combo family style - Barbeque Near Me - Kearny, New Jersey

Had there chicken short rib combo. It was way more food than expected. Prob could've fed 2 people. Excellent nonetheless and as i was walking out some guy got his burger brought over and looked amazing. Definitely coming back read more

Portion sizes are huge! Honestly one plate can feed 2 and combos can feed 2-3. Pork ribs were amazing, flavor and cook were perfect. Beef ribs were cooked great but under seasoned, and the chicken was seasoned well but over cooked. I would definitely return as the food was well worth the price and they have tons of options on the menu. read more

Awesome place good is great service is awesome Bring your coat if it's cold out they usually keep the heat low read more

This is the first time I order take out and had to eat left overs. After waiting about an hour for the food to be delivered, the shrimp in garlic sauce was cold, and my picadinho with shrimp had NO shrimp. They also forgot my two liter coke. Of course I called but was placed on hold twice. Needless to say, I will not order from this place again. read more

Firepit made three stars by the skin of their .. chicken. First time customer and they let me down. Called and placed my order for pick up. I asked to see if they also had combo specials as many other BBQ places do and he said yes, "Chicken and Ribs." I thought great, ribs aren't too healthy but they're my favorite. I subsequently asked about the sides and decided on the rice with beans instead of the rice with french fries. Twenty minutes and $17 later, I get to my designated location to eat only to reveal two issues: 1) I received french fries, not the beans. I cannot tell you how annoying it is to know that I have to check my take out order before leaving the establishment (and will have to do so if I decide to give them another chance.) The fries were soggy and flavorless. 2) --now, this is may really be my fault-- I was surprised to have received beef ribs instead of pork ribs. I am avid BBQ eater and I've got to stay, usually it is by default when one uses the word "ribs" that it is understood to be pork ribs. Not at this establishment. Therefore, I recommend you clarify between this distinction while placing your order with Firepit. Overall the chicken was well seasoned and tasty. Wasn't overcooked as other reviews stated but it's clear that you are really rolling the dice at this place. I did enjoy the beef ribs and was glad they weren't overcooked. Ribs were a little pink in the middle, just the way I like it. For the price I paid and the portion size, they're not too competitive. I have paid less and received way more at other eateries. Not eager to try them out again but I wouldn't cross them out indefinitely. read more

Fire Pit BBQ - Chicken and beef ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Kearny, New Jersey

We weren't in the mood for Italian so we looked for someplace new to try. This Portuguese BBQ joint a couple of blocks off Schuyler Ave was a very good find indeed. The place is incredibly busy. That means your treats won't be sitting in a warming oven all day. Chances are, it will be made to order or it will have been made shortly before you ordered it. We asked the nice gentleman behind the counter, baby backs or spare ribs? His answer? Baby backs but it would take 45 minutes to prepare. No worries, we had nowhere to be. We munched some perfectly grilled chorizo while we waited. The ribs were excellent. I did think they could have benefited from five to eight minutes less cooking time but they really were delicious. Loved the hot sauce. It's a thick concoction, not the usual watery stuff served in other establishments. It was particularly good on the fries which were freshly cut and fried. So my wife wasn't left out of our adventure, I brought home a to go order of grilled chicken, rice and beans. She loved every bite. Nothing was overly salty which pleased her no end. Fire Pit BBQ serves up some really great eats. We will definitely be back. read more

HORRIBLE. Don't waste your money and time. The delivery took more than 1 hour instead of 40 min. The meat was overcooked and taste REALLY old. The driver doest wear mask. Ordered souce on the side - no souce whatsoever. When called them about late delivery and they souce - not even say souce and told me to come pick it up in the restaurant. Do not recommend this place. read more

Fire Pit BBQ is a gem!!! The service was very good. The food was very good. I sat outside. And even that was very good. I was surprised as to how close the restaurant is to a busy street; and how comfortable and removed I felt from that surrounding. It felt like I was in someone's back tack yard enjoying a very good meal. One MAJOR thing for some. It's BYOB. So if you want a nice evening with that special someone, and you drink. Being a nice bottle of wine and some nice glasses to bring it up a notch. read more

So today I went to fire pit in Kearny and usually they don't disappoint me; however tonight was very different. I ordered half a chicken with salad. I picked up my order and came home and realized there was feathers all on the wing of the chicken. It made me think whoever they get their chicken from did a horrible job at cleaning it. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and told them and they said they would change it for me. When I got home I realized all they did was take that piece out and cook the other chicken well done so I wouldn't see any other feathers that were left on instead of giving me a new piece of chicken like I asked. Unfortunately I will not be returning back to this establishment, but whoever is their new chicken vendor is terrible. They aren't cleaning the chicken well. Was my quick go to place but not anymore. Sorry read more

This is that work boot, construction man, drink a beer food. This is that off the grill beer belly food. You come to this place you get a huge serving of meat. You come hungry, you leave full. Food itself is pretty solid. 3 stars. On a side note, i would substitute the fries for beans or salad, etc. It's also BYOB if you want to eat inside. read more

Food is good so far, but the service sucks a bit because there all stuck to their cell phones and unless you get up to get their attention the hypnosis caused by the cell doesn't stop. Sad because son they won't have any customers it's very unprofessional. They take to long to prepare the food and after served waiter don't come back only for the check. read more

Fire Pit has not only the best bbq in the area, but the best delivery driver as well. We recently decided to order after coming home from a 2 week stay at the hospital with our son. He is 7, autistic and was diagnosed with epilepsy. He was suffering from seizures on a daily basis, requiring him to be hospitalized and having surgery. When we arrived home, we ordered Fire Pit since we were too tired to cook. Our delivery arrived and the driver who's name is Nuno, saw our son with bandages on his neck and chest area. He asked what had happened and we explained. He felt terrible for us and shared some very kind words with us and comforted us. He left to deliver more orders and called us a short time later and asked us if we could come outside. We did, and he was outside with a gift of die-cast toy cars for our little dude. We couldn't believe his generosity and how he went out of his way to make sure our little guy was happy. He put a smile on all our faces that day and made a tough situation so much better. Since then, we have ordered and he always takes the time to ask how our little guy is doing. We have never encountered a more caring delivery person. He truly is a one of a kind person and we appreciate what he did. It was a huge gesture for us. Thank you Fire Pit for have such a caring worker. Thank you Nuno for your compassion! We will definitely continue to order from you guys! read more

I have been here several times, was just here this past weekend. We ordered apps, clams in garlic, shrimp in garlic and the pork with potatoes. They were awessome! For the main meal I ordered steak with chimchurri and the grilled shrimp. Always a fan of both of these dishes but this time the shrimp was extremely salty needed to send it back and they made a new one. My friends ordered the ribs, which were delicious, tender and full of flavor. Great spot, although theres really no atmosphere. We always BYOB and enjoy the good food! read more

Great hot sauce at this place. Their chicken is really tasty. They make a great garlic chicken as well. You can get multiple different sides. Rice,beans, fries or steamed veggies. Reasonably priced as well. Always a good pick up when in a hurry. read more

I will not be going back! I Have eaten here 2x before this was the 3rd and last time I will give them my business!!! The service was Horrendous! The guys attending the grill where miserable and it reflected in their service and the waitress was no better! If it's due to your Wages then either speak to management or get another JOB!!!! To the owner your customers should not be treated as if You are doing Us a favor, when we are paying for our food and by the way the service! Hence why you have three FYI that is not a rating to be proud of nor be so arrogant! read more

Every time I drive by I want to stop and get something but the problem is the burgers are often overcooked and the fries are horrible, they steam and turn to mush. I've had other things there that I absolutely loved but sadly I think today was the last time I'll order sliders from here. read more
