    This is a place that my friend introduced to me a while back in college, and I've been coming back ever since. Food: We always get one of the combo platters (Different meats and two sides- usually rice and beans). FYI, these combo platters are huge, so either come really hungry or come with 2 other people to help you eat it! In terms of taste, the meat is juicy and tender, the rice is well seasoned and flavorful, and the beans were the right amount of starchiness. Environment/Service: The restaurant itself is kind of small, but I never had an issue with seating. The servers are all friendly and happy to help you with picking food recommendations. Price: For the amount of food you're getting, it is well worth the price. (especially if you split it with friends) Overall: For the quality and quantity of food you're getting at the price point, Hamilton BBQ is well worth your time and money if you're ever hungry and around the area.

    Food is really good, spot very busy! My only concern is that they charge 3% if you pay by credit card, 1 star off because of that. La comida es muy buena, ¡lugar muy concurrido! Mi único problema es que cobran 3% si pagas con tarjeta de crédito, 1 estrella menos por eso.

    1/2 BBQ Chicken w/ fries and rice
    Toyin D.

    *Based on takeout* I can't believe I've been here all these years and I've never come here. From order to pickup time, I spent 20 minutes, which was pretty good, considering the restaurant was pretty packed. The staff was kind over the phone and pleasant to speak with at checkout. First of all, let's talk portion sizes. They don't play around here with food. I noticed the huuuuuggee plates in front of the dine-in customers. They gave me enough food to last me 3 satisfying meals - no exaggeration. I chose the 1/2 order of BBQ chicken, rice, and fries. Seasoning was perfect, meat texture was just right, and price point was awesome, considering the amount of food they give you. This place is a hidden gem!

    Let's start with a warning; visit Hamilton BBQ with a big appetite as the portions are mammoth! My combination dish of BBQ chicken and BBQ pork spare rib combination, which comes with rice and one selectable side (I chose black beans), was equally large in size and deliciousness! I loved the simple preparation applied to both proteins, seasoned with just salt, pepper, and cooked on a charcoal grill; the natural flavors of the meats really shined through along with a pleasing smokey charcoal flavor. The BBQ pork spare ribs were nicely sized, meaty and fatty, and cooked to a tender and moist texture. BBQ chicken comprised of a drumstick and large thigh were moist and had an awesome crispy skin. Bountiful portions of yellow rice was very flavorful and tasted like it was cooked with a bit of chicken broth. My black bean side order was delicious too; properly starchy and very filling. My sister chose the full sized Brazilian style beef (Pichana) platter and generously provided were several cuts of beef laced with strip of fat at the edge (note that Pichana is a specialized cut; known for that pronounced strip of fat the edge). She enjoyed the beefy flavor and ridge of fat of the Pichana steaks, but mentioned they weren't the most tender (temperature of the steak was medium). Her side of French fries were enjoyable as well; thin and crispy, and reminiscent in look to McDonald's fries. We added some healthy greens to our meal in Hamilton BBQ's salad which was just lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and plenty of white onion slices. Each vegetable was fresh and provided a welcomed cool lightness to the rice and proteins. Service was very friendly as our waitress was very friendly and timely with serving our food.

    The rice festival
    Andre J.

    Decided to go to Hamilton BBQ so we wouldn't have to cook dinner on a Thursday and it was a bad decision. She have went home and cooked and saved my $25 because it was not good at all. 1st we got the beef ribs and chicken combo and they only give you 3 ribs which was tough as a fight with Mike Tyson, not seasoned at all and more fat than a little bit. They were almost not eatable. The half of chicken tasted a bit burnt and the thigh was not cleaned very well because I was spitting out fat and cleaning the veins from out of it. 5hey call this place a BBQ spot but no BBQ sauce was on the meat but they give you these very small containers with 2 BBQ sauces and 2 hot sauces. Oh and give you a whole pan of rice which would feed a family of 6. I recommend if you going to spend $25 it would be better to go around the corner and get KFC. At least you know what you getting because if they keep this up with this sub par food they going to be out of business. I would have felt better if I gave my $25 to a homeless person i would have been fill of joy because I'm now eating potato chips to get full

    Spare and short ribs full order
    Kenny L.

    I. Love. Hamilton. BBQ. I bring my friends here ALL THE TIME to eat the great BBQ here and I'm sure all my friends know I'm practically a regular here. Let's just start by saying the portions here are HUGE and they do not skimp on any meat at all. Not only do they give you a lot, the food here is great! I almost always get the full order of the ribs combo (both short and spare) and never once have I been disappointed. A full order can easily feed 2-3 people and a half order can stuff the average person. The meat is juicy and cooked perfectly, with the most amazing seasoning. It comes served on a heaping bed of delicious yellow rice with a side. For first time diners, note that the vegetables on the side of the rice are picked, so don't be surprised if you bite into it and get a tangy crunch! I also recommend trying their fried plaintains, as those are always a nice way to end a meal. The restaurant itself is small, but I have never had any issue with seating, but I also come slightly off-hours, so I am not sure how seating is during peak hours. Regardless of my party size however, the staff is always very accommodating to us. I have come here with parties ranging from 2 to 12, and have never had an issue. Giving this place a 5/5 is automatic for me, though I wish I could give it 6.

    Portuguese sausage
    Mel T.

    Everything at Hamilton BBQ is really salty, so be prepared to have a lot of water handy. The Portuguese sausage was super oily, sour, and salty all at the same time. It's served as an appetizer but you definitely need something to go with it - like bread, rice, or salad. The sautéed pork cubes were overcooked. The meat was a bit dry. But at least it wasn't as salty as the sausage. It also comes sautéed with potatoes, which were pretty good. Surprisingly, the pork actually tasted better the next day, right out of the fridge - no reheating needed. The spare ribs were just okay. I've definitely had better. This comes with rice, and your choice of salad, beans, or french fries. I think this was my first Portuguese food experience. It won't be my last but it will be my last time at Hamilton BBQ. P.S. If you decide to come, get ready to shoo tiny flies away from your food during the entire meal.

    Great food, great portions, good prices, amazing smells and service! I always enjoy eating here whether I'm having the pork ribs w/rice and salad or the seafood, chicken, and more.

    We came here on a Tuesday evening for dinner with family. There were five of us. We had…read morereservations. We started with the salad bar which includes lots of hot and cold selections. They bring mashed potatoes, fried plantains and cheesy bread to the table for everyone. All of the meat I tried was great along with everything I had from the salad bar. My fiancé can't stop talking about the wings and how incredible they were! The service was wonderful!

    It was our first time visiting this Brazilian steakhouse and we had a party of 10 for our dear…read moreclose friends birthday dinner. I should've known that this was gonna be a big disappointment when the restaurant was a furnace and we were sweating like we were in hot yoga not only where we charged for water to drink, but at the end, there was a charge for them to cut the cake and use their plates for our dessert that we brought for the birthday person We came for the Labor Day all you can eat crab legs, and the air conditioning was broken, but no one made us aware until we were 3/4 of the way through our meal and sweating bullets profusely. We kept asking if they could please turn the air-conditioning ON and no one addressed it until the very end, they just kept avoiding talking to us, but I literally felt like I was going to vomit at the table, and at one point one of the managers, I am guessing because he never introduced himself. He said that they are trying to work on it, and they finally brought a carpet drying fan and pointed it away from us so that was kind of not conducive to helping us with the severe warmth of the restaurant. Most most of the beef was either overcooked or it was super tough and very hard to chew definitely disappointed because every time I've ever seen an ad for this restaurant, they show tender and delicious looking meats. They also claimed in their dress code no gym clothes and no casual clothes so I dressed up and so did my husband and all of our party however, most of the restaurant look like they just strolled in from the street and the room we were in had way too many tables we were literally pushed up against the wall and it was not a good experience. The table next to us was like a pack of wild hyenas or animals because they were screaming and Hooten and hollering like they were living in a cave or in a barnyard. It was really not an enjoyable experience. I felt like I was among a bunch of savages and people were dressed in jeans, shorts and very casual attire when on their website they put a strict dress code and thank you for following their dress code. We All agreed to have the All you Can Eat Snow crab legs dinner but ontop of things, we spent $64.95.per person for our meals and they never brought out the Churrasco steak which I was really looking forward to trying and a lot of of the meat and beef was either over salted and Cajun or had jalapeño chimichurri sauce, which we don't eat. They didn't really have too many other plainer choices and definitely did Not have 15 different meats, unless you special requested no seasonings. I think there was maybe only five or six different types of meat. They came around with pork, sausage, Parmesan, chicken and mango chicken, New York strip, lamb, top sirloin, but most of the time it was jalapeño or Cajun crusted the Parmesan chicken and the mango chicken were very tough and fatty. They had a bacon wrapped filet mignon, but that was literally so small. I only got two bites of that, and the bacon was floppy bacon and not well done cooked, so I didn't really eat that because I wanted medium cooked and they never had Churrasco steak and they came around with delicious fillets of salmon, but they only came around one time with the salmon fish fillets and that was delicious, but it was only a small portion of five or six bites and they never came back out with. it To be honest, i was kind of afraid to eat that bacon filet mignion, but it was so Small and I was concerned about the Floppy soft bacon that grossed me out. All in all, the servers and staff looked extremely stressed out and sweated Up and instead of them, making us aware of what was going on with the heat, they never addressed it until the final end and then, all of our party ended up in the bathroom with diarrhea. 10 out of 10 do not recommend Buyer beware

They also forgot to bring out the sides but once I brought it to their attention it was fixed.

Unfortunately, my overall experience was very disappointing due to poor service. Our server, a shorter male who I believe was named Ricardo, took our order. I ordered the lobster mac and cheese and yuca fries. After waiting 25 minutes, I asked a staff member serving steak to check on the order, and he agreed. After 45 minutes, I followed up again with another staff member, a woman with reddish hair in a ponytail, and asked her to check with the kitchen. After waiting over an hour with no update, when she passed back, I informed her that I no longer wanted the food, and she acknowledged my request. Throughout this entire time, our server never once checked in on us. When he finally came to the table, I confirmed that my order had been canceled, and he said yes. He then proceeded to tell us that cooking takes time and that we needed to be patient. I dine out regularly and understand reasonable wait times, but the lack of communication and follow-up was unacceptable. The comment made by our server felt dismissive and unprofessional, especially given the circumstances. Overall, this experience did not meet expectations, and I will likely just stick to New York in the future.
