My boyfriend and I have been to Portugal and we've tasted the chicken there. The food at this restaurant imported us back to Portugal!! It was absolutely delicious and tasted super authentic. Everything was 10/10 and I can't believe this gem exists here around my town. We are so happy we tried this place out, the service was also great, our server was attentive. The ambiance was a cute little vibe! We also had the small pitcher of red sangria and it was more than enough! read more

Friendly service and a cozy little restaurant. We ordered the chicken and ribs for two. Despite the name it was enough to feed a family of 4. 2 adults and 2 littlish kids. The ribs while not fall off the bone, it was still very tender. It had that signature Portuguese bbq grilled taste. It was dry rub but still super flavorful. I didn't even need any spice to eat it. The French fries were also nicely done. The entree also comes with a massive salad. We very much enjoyed the experience. We would be back. read more

Great service, check your bill at the end. They tried to hike up the price without even telling us. Food is ok

I've picked up here before for a party and only had their food after driving 30 minutes and dropping off their food at a party. I never really had the chance to sit down and enjoy their food fresh which I finally had the chance to. The food definitely tastes better fresh. We were on our way back from CT looking for a place to eat and this place just so happened to pop up on places to eat with 0 wait time so we had to come check it out. They had no patrons on a Sunday night which was fine for us being that we are an army of its own with 4 adults and 7 kids. The service was great being that we were the only table. The food was great because everything was fresh. The ambiance was like an old worn down restaurant, but still can pump out some good food. The only thing I'd critique is the ribs, those were some tough ribs with more bone than meat. I'd come here again and definitely come on a Sunday when no one is dining here. read more

Portuguese Churrasqueira BBQ Restaurant - Portuguese Near Me - Spring Valley, New York

When it originally opened the owner was Portuguese and it was authentic. He has since sold. Plaintains are not used in Portuguese cuisine. Food is dry and does not resemble our country's cuisine at all. read more

Loved the food! I ordered the picanha steak, and devoured it. The portions were filling, and the plantains were THE BOMB. There's a cosy Portuguese atmosphere. Service was very friendly. I topped the meal off with flan, and of course that was great too. Definitely will come back. read more

Not good as it used to be copule of years ago although food still tasty. Prices have gone up but understanding everything has gone up

We tried this spot and left disappointed, the food was decent but not terribly good. They had a decent selection of menu items but steaks were not something I would recommend or try again. Sorry but cant recommend. read more

Awesome taste of portugal. Big portions and excellent food. Nice and quiet. Worth the trip.

First of all the food got that yummy yum....consistently good and fresh especially before the evening rush. Even more the servers are so sweet and polite and professional. If you speak Spanish or Portuguese they got some specials that ain't on the menu, ya tu sabe!????!!! read more

I ordered online and regret it!! I ordered the shrimp that comes with two sides and chose fries and salad as my options. The order took well over an hour; I'm wondering if they don't pay close attention to web orders?? I almost cancelled the order it took so long! The rather large tray of food finally arrived and I was actually salivating until I opened it up! The majority of the tray was a pile of soggy, greasy bland fries and a salad that was more an afterthought than anything! The shrimp were okay but nothing to write home about. I ordered a side of plantains that were a hit with my wife, I thought they were just okay. This delivery was not worth the $25 (not including tip mind you!) I spent on dinner! I think I'll give this establishment another go at it but I think I'll take a chance and dine in next time... read more

Definitely recommend. read more

Meat lovers, follow your nose for scrumptious Portuguese BBQ! Yes, it is as delicious as it smells! As soon as you get to the intersection of Rt. 45 and Rt. 59 in Spring Valley, slow down, when you see Walgreens and watch for the narrow driveway to enter the small strip mall. Delectable seasoned, tender, juicy wood grilled BBQ awaits you! read more

I love this place!!! The food is amazing (specially on those nights when you don't feel like cooking but still want something homeyyy this is the place to go!! And the service is good. They have take out and dine in both are amazing options but they do get busy I recommend calling and picking up! read more

I don't throw around five star reviews. But the only thing on Yelp that offends me more than inflated ratings are the idiots that gave this place low ratings because their delivery contained soggy fries (duh!) or ribs did not come with barbecue sauce (go back to Virginia). My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal here and I'm giving an extra star to compensate for the undeserved low rating and for the adorable waiter. She had grilled fish; I had pork with clams and potatoes. To start there was a small salad, a dish of olives, and warm crusty bread. The olives, bread, olive oil and vinegar were all top notch. We each had a glass of wine -- white for her, red for me -- and left the choice to our waiter: both were very nice. Main portions were generous. Wife's fish, vegetables, and rice were perfect. I'd have preferred more clams and less pork and some of my pork was not as tender as I'd have liked, but I still found it to be a delicous dish and used the excellent bread to sop up the rich flavorful sauce and cleaned my plate. Two postreis natal -- small custard tartlettes -- were a pleasant way to end a lovely meal. We look forward to returning soon. read more

I normally go here because of the ribs. However, I put a take-out order and the size of the ribs were extremely small, about 1/4 the size it is normally. Not only that, but they sent over a smaller quantity. I was totally ripped off. read more

The food was pretty good, wealthy portions, fast service. A nice, small place to get a good meal.

Wow...wow...tucked away in a shopping center. Transported to Lisbon for a late lunch. The gentleman that served us was so good. Sharing how long he has worked at the restaurant. We had the seafood combination with safran rice. Enough for more then two people. Starting with salad and olives. A cold Bock beer( Portuguese beer). The seafood was amazing. Clams lobster mussels calimari scallops. A place to come back to again read more

Food portion was a lot. French fries were not the best, ribs were lacking go to Big Daddy's if you want great ribs. Like I said food portion was a lot but there was no sauce for any of the items ordered! no barbecue sauce at all! No steak sauce! Food was tasteless, no flavor or seasoning. It was a good attempt but I will not be eating from there. read more

Delicious food and good portions. Not fancy, but who cares! We had the chicken and beef ribs with a few different sides.

don't bother. It wasn't even busy when we went and no one greeted us to take us to a table. Even worse was freezing inside. Our food got cold in 30 seconds and it wasn't even seasoned. the worst. read more

Great spot! Would like it better for take out then sit down. We sat down as a family and service is a little slow. There seemed to be only one waiter (I think he was the owner). Kind of wish he was more attentive to us. Portion sizes are great for the price you pay. Food was okay, definitely used real quality meats. Pretty good take out place to try. read more

This place was very hard to find but I was determined and glad I did. Got seated and started with Sangria not great but good. Had the garlic shrimp for appetizer pretty good. But know the bbq was banging!! My kids had the chicken and ribs platter for 2 and couldn't stop saying how good everything was. My husband and I got the bbq mixed platter yummy. Would recommended this platter to anyone eating here. Portions are large. Also, can't forget our waiter he was awesome and gave us a little history of the town. Great place will come again!! read more

Mostly everything there is good. They still need to work on those fries and the rice, lack flavor and preparation time.

This place is really good. They have a take out side or you can dine in. Meat is tender and juicy staff is friendly and the prices are amazing for such quality food. Def recommend! read more

This is restaurant has a nice quaint atmosphere. The staff is wonderful. It's got a real "family owned restaurant" feel to it. It's great for a date, luck with friends or a family dinner. The food is excellent. The seafood is amazing and the BBQ is exceptional. The cater and deliver. Authentic Portuguese Cuisine. If you are into Spanish food I almost guarantee you will love this place! read more

Portuguese Churrasqueira BBQ Restaurant - Portuguese Near Me - Spring Valley, New York

This is truly a hidden gem in a Spring Valley strip mall. They serve generous portions of authentic Portuguese cuisine. The Portuguese sausage appetizer was a real highlight, and could have been an entree (we took the rest home and can't wait to eat leftovers). The proprietor/waiter was very charming. If you're in Rockland and drive to Newark any time you are jonesing for Portuguese food, please give this place your business once in a while. You won't regret it. We can't wait to go back with friends. read more

Best Place out there! Love the Grilled Pawns! Togo prices are unbeatable. Everything cooked on a Fresh Charcol grill. read more

Went back a few weeks ago on a Saturday night and what a disaster. Two waiters who also had to bartend. Waited and waited for our order and they came out with the wrong dish for my wife which was also cold. Sent it back and kept waiting. Finally told them to forget it. My dish was very tasty but other than that,a total mess. Probably best to go on a week night when it is slow. read more

This place is a hidden jewel. The food was REALLY GOOD. The fried calamari was great, good taste, not soggy. Also had chorizo or sausage, that was good too. A bit spicy, but I liked it. Yes I had more than one appetizer! So what!? Don't be cheat have more than one appetizer. Ordered the bbq for two, it would had served 3 or 4 people with "normal" appetites. I took my leftovers home. The chicken was really tasty. The ribs were fall off the bone. Over all food was really good, I would had given this place 5 stars for that. The only reason I didn't given them 5 stars was cause there was only one server. The place is clean. Family friendly. But this place has to be manned by two people. The guy did get Some assistance after a while, I believe the lady had to be a kitchen personnel. The guy got some things in my order wrong. Which I'm guessing was cause he was overwhelmed. So my missing star is in protest for the gentleman who needed help. I will definitely go back, and I highly recommend this place. read more

In short? Quality food, flavor, and portions for an insanely low price. If you're looking for affordable, family-style food full of flavor, you have to come to Portuguese Churrasqueira. It's family-owned + their secret recipes are amazing. My dad introduced this place to me about 6yrs ago. You can feed a family of 4-6 VERY WELL for less than $30. Order the Frango no Churrasco with yellow rice + fries, you won't be sorry. And it'll only cost you $14. The rice soaked with the chicken juices is the best. I'm more of a chicken fan, but my family/friends always rave about the ribs + steaks. This place is also good for takeout orders. You can even throw a dinner party for friends that will have them thanking you forever. Tip: do NOT reheat in a microwave. You have to heat it up in an oven. They give it to you in aluminum trays, so it's really easy to do this. Some people complain the fries get soggy. I don't really mind. They're soaked up in all the chicken juicy delicious-ness. But to silence my complainers, I usually heat up the fries separately in a toaster oven in one single layer. I've gotten so many people hooked on what I call "my little secret," I should get a finder's fee. ;) read more

Food is descent price and flavor wise. The smell of meats cooking on the grill is definitely pleasant especially when driving by.
