I mean .. if you believe BBQ means food that taste like burn . With hints of garlic butter then come here . Not much flavor . Def much better food in Somerset areas read more

We used to love this place but at a recent dine in trip, we had to question our check twice. FYI: They charge the tip automatically and add an additional extra fee if you are paying by card. We never experienced extra fees with any other establishment for card use. And tip is only automatic if you are a party of 5 or more. It's one thing if you notify people ahead of time but to charge loyal customers without their knowledge is wrong. What about the customers who do not check the bill? They may be paying double the tip! read more

Delicious Portuguese churrasqueria style bbq food, generous portions, good prices, amazing smells. Perfect for quick takeout and always fresh. Must try bbq chicken it is deliciously crispy and smoky on the outside and cooked to perfection on the inside. read more

Terrible service!!! You can't exchange food choices. When I asked to speak to the manager, the server lied and said they wasn't there. They do not give you an itemized receipt. The server was not friendly. And when I bought these issues to the female owner attention she defended the server. I will never return, but I'm sure they act they don't care. Mister B! P.S. We were there for almost an hour an only one other customer came in and it was lunch time. Wonder why?!!! read more

We have ordered takeout more than a few times. The food is always good. It's definitely worth trying. You won't be disappointed.

I like their salmon, but really..I think each time they get smaller and smaller and the price stays the same. I ordered half a salmon and this is what I get.. read more

Hamilton BBQ - $10 for rice. - Portuguese Near Me - Somerset, New Jersey

Great customer service and delicious food for a reasonable price! Will definitely be back here soon!

Hamilton BBQ is quintessential portuguese fare. Portions are huge and I can put it away too!! I ordered the 1/2 order of pork cubes and 1/2 order of Beef Short Ribs. Trust me...the 1/2 order is big enough. I ended up having both for 2 days of meals. The beef ribs are similar to a grilled skirt steak and have a subtle seasoning. A very healthy portion of yellow rice accompanies all entrees. The pork cubes are slightly seasoned and are very tender. I loved my selections so much, I am bringing my coworkers there tonight for dinner to experience it for themselves. read more

Great Food !! I had the Shrimp w/Garlice Sauce and it also came with the Rice and i choose black beans . The food was awesome !! Starting getting busy as i was leaving .

And also going to have a desert next time !! I was talking with the owner, all deserts are homeade !! WOW .......... I just returned for a second time with my wife, she loved the Shrimp with Garlic Sauce, as i did also . I did have the Beef Ribs, i asked for them to be well done . A bit CHEWY but so tastey !! Worth the visit again and again!! read more

The place smells heavenly when you come in. Food is very good and I would definitely come back for more! I ordered the chicken and ribs( I wasn't sure what the name is) and it was very good! read more

Oh my god the full size portions are massive. Tried a few more things here and they were all A+. Went with a group of 9 ravenously hungry dudes and all our food was ready quickly and received thumbs up all around. read more

I have come here a bunch of times for lunch. Good food. HUGE portions, at a good value. Be prepared for bad service. Waitresses here seem like it's their first job ever, and are kinda strange. They usually wait to prepare the bill til after you are finished eating, so no quick exits. I kinda wish they'd just get rid of the waitresses, and just order at the counter. Probably be quicker. read more

Continuing our quest for a good Portuguese Churrasqueria, my friend and I decided to try this establishment. It is very similar to 28th St; the general decorations, set up, menu are nearly identical -- to the point where we think they are trying to become a 'chain' of sorts. The food is very plentiful and a good value. We both enjoyed the pork ribs here, which seemed fresh and well seasoned. Plus, the waitress gave us the option of having the ribs with rice and salad (as opposed to rice/fries while ordering a side salad) which was rather welcome. The bread here was also different than at 28th St., which by all accounts was a good thing. The service here was excellent. The waitress was very friendly and quick with our orders. She even adjusted the air conditioning for us (we were the only patrons there and she noticed we were a bit cold)! My only real complaint is that the dessert item we wanted to order (despite being on the menu) wasn't available and seemed to confuse the waitress -- probably meaning it is rarely prepared, if ever. Also, the restaurant seemed to vibrate oddly (probably from air conditioning units) which was a little distracting. The bottom line is that it's decent food for a good value and great service. We'll likely head back there when we have a craving for quick, filling meal. read more

Was here a few years ago when they had their Grand Opening... and that mouth watering rotisserie chickennnn!!! Awwwww Mannnnn! I felt like Family Guy's Stevie when he didn't want the food and then mom shoved the spoon into his mouth....."Oh My Gawd! It's like an.....!" And that huge platter they had for one person at THAT low price! They may have raised it after their Introductory Opening price. read more

Hamilton BBQ - Portuguese Near Me - Somerset, New Jersey

This place is a great hidden gem and I'm surprised it isn't more crowded whenever I come here. I almost always get a full order of ribs to share with a friend and we often still have leftovers because the portion is so massive. The food never fails to disappoint! I especially enjoy the pork ribs but the bbq chicken was great too. One thing to keep in mind is that this is Portuguese bbq so it's a dry rub instead of sauce. Highly recommend if you're around the area! read more

The portion of the food was very generous. I had the half BBQ chicken with rice and fries. The chicken was tender and cooked to the right point. It was well seasoned. I can't say the same for the rice and the fries. I thought they were pretty bland. The rice definitely needed a little more season and the fries needed salt. Perhaps it was done that way so you can season the fries urself. The price was good too, I would come back to try other stuff. read more

Family style Portuguese restaurant. A lot of take out order. Few sit down eat in. I ordered 2 take out. One is pork ribs with rice and salad. The other one is Brazilian style beef with rice and plantains. Both meals are acceptable. read more

huge portions of carefully prepared, well seasoned Portuguese barbeque at a fairly reasonable price. Very friendly staff. Portuguese TV was on, cool. The owner is a lady from Portugal. They have Portuguese soda (Sumol, which I love) and also a variety of Guarana. casual environment. I went to Portugal on vacation a couple of times and love Portuguese food. I wish they had a larger variety of side items and appetizers available, such as simple things like an olive plate that one would routinely find in Portugal, but they seem to be working on that with recent addition of a cabbage and carrots side. Parking lot in the back, also easy to park on the street out front. Tiramusu was good. And they make a good espresso. read more

Yum! We had a full order of ribs with yellow rice, a small order of veggies, and a salad. Ribs were great, a little tough but tasted amazing. Wouldn't recommend the veggies. The rice was awesome! read more

Amazing food, amazing service! 5 stars every time. Go to place for both small and large gatherings.

I recently had dinner here and was more than pleasantly surprised. First, don't let the word BBQ fool you. Your food will not come out smothered in a sweet, mesquite sauce. BBQ in Portuguese generally means grilled and in this case over a charcoal pit. The food arrived in a timely fashion and it was a generous, savory, portion of meat, rice, beans and salad. The price point on each item was phenomenal. Unless you are sharing a meal order the half portion. I consider myself a hearty eater and I was able to take home leftovers with a half portion. All for a whopping $9 bucks. The rice pudding was delicious, I ordered the pork ribs and they were finger licking good- sans the messy sauce. I also ordered a delectable shrimp appetizer which served and whetted the appetite of our table of four. The ambiance is simple, casual, and no frills. They have steady take out service The service is unpretentious. If you ask for something they will bring it but you will have to ask for things. The beverage cooler is self -serve. Get to this restaurant soon. It is definitely the hidden gem of Somerset. read more

The best grilled Salmon I have had from anywhere!!! I only order the salmon. I have tried the others in Dunellen and South Plainfield and Ferry street in Newark. I would give the place 5 stars if the rice was not so wet with the dish and if they did not charge for debit purchase. Other than that, never disappoints! read more

BIG portions, excellent service. Visited yesterday,Dad and I were very happy with everything ordered. BBQ 1/2 chicken & Pork Chops perfectly seasoned and SUPER MOIST!! We ate until stuffed, but saved room for flan - perfect meal with leftovers for later! We will be back!! Thank you! read more

So I'll being by saying that this place is just not what it used to be. The steak and ribs are tough, you'll practically need a hacksaw to cut through them. The rice is unseasoned and tastes like uncle bens rice. On top of that, the chicken is usually very salty. read more

The food is good. They give you a lot of food! Enough for a family of 4 to share. Ask for extra sauce on the chicken it will make a difference. The only negative would be it takes a long time for your food. They may say 20 mins but it's really like 40. Give yourself extra time when in a rush read more

It was pretty good Portuguese style churrascaria, not the best but mostly good. Be aware that portions are huge. I hadn't had churrascaria style pork ribs and I quite liked them. Also good to have pineapple Sumol soda pop and the flan was good too. read more

This review is long overdue. I work at RWJ in New Brunswick and we always order from here, especially for our large lunch gatherings. They don't always deliver so if you're looking for that, call ahead to make sure. They are always very polite and friendly. The food is so good! That's why they're our go-to for food. Seafood paella for two is actually a whole tray and they don't skimp out on seafood. The bbq comes with sides of fries, salad, yellow rice or beans (2 of the 3). I should let them know next time that they should be very proud of their food and service and the fact that they keep a floor of trauma nurses and docs going with delicious food! read more

Hamilton BBQ is the go to spot for dinner for me and the Mr. We love the BBQ chicken dinner with rice and red beans. Definitely a tasty meal at a very reasonable price! read more

My husband and I swear by this place! We go all the time for the chicken, ribs and picadinho. The owner is a very friendly portuguese woman and the waitresses are very nice. Definitely the best place to eat in the area! read more

I just went back the other day to get take out and the food was great as always. But even better, two women who work there started a conversation with me and specifically addressed the complaints I had in my previous review that I wrote on 5/13/14 under the previous ownership. One of the women actually recognized me from my Yelp profile picture and said my name. That totally took me by surprise but it was really nice knowing that this business actually reads their Yelp reviews and takes them to heart. I always get the pork cubes and my wife gets the garlic chicken, both of which are excellent. End of story: food is delicious, portions are huge, price is reasonable, and staff is very very nice. This fairly recent (year) change of ownership definitely helped Hamilton BBQ. read more

Stopped in for lunch. 1st time. Ordered the salmon. Wow!!! Very fresh and delicious!! Staff was very friendly. I work in Somerset. Not many healthy fresh home cooked food. Excited to find this place. read more

My other half and I got take out from here the other day for a late dinner. I was rushed on the phone, as if they we're busy and had to repeat myself several times. We got there about 15 mins later, around 8:40 to pick up and there wasn't a soul in the place. The portions were huge, a 1/2 was a large take out box stuffed to the top and a regular order is a half catering steam tray. I ordered the 1/2 of pork cubes and shrimp. What I got was 1/2 order of pork cubes, no shrimp. My other half order the regular steak and egg. What he got was steak, no egg. The food was good, but its a pet peeve of mine when people don't listen- especially coming from someone with food allergies-you lose points for that! read more

First visit. Got takeout. The place was packed! Grilled chicken with garlic sauce. Purchased the half size portion and nothing about it seemed half sized. 2 large grilled chicken breasts. Huge portion of rice and an equally huge portion of black beans. Very flavorful and well seasoned. Definitely worth the 20 minute drive from my home. read more
