This is a Churrasqueira restaurant in the Rogers and Weston Road area. Food - (4/5) - small menu of portuguese dishes for selection including the BBQ chicken - with your choice of traditional grilled or rotisserie. Decided to go with the Rotisserie as I prefer it a bit more moist. It was a pretty good combo... 1/2 chicken (standard size chicken not too big) with a ton of rice and potatoes and pepper sauce on the side. Chicken was done properly with nice level of browning of the skin and subtle flavour. They leave the flavour to you as it is on the side unlike other places where it is basted on. Potatoes were good - not too soft or overcooked and ample size. Rice was average - tons of it but just ok imo. Service (4/5) - friendly server and pretty quick turnaround overall. Atmosphere (4/5) - it is a small place with only a few tables to dine in but clean and orderly. Overall (4/5) - seems like a reliable place for takeout or dine-in. Chicken a bit on the small size... probably shrinkflation taking effect! read more

St. Matthew's BBQ Chicken - Rotisserie BBQ 1/2 Chicken - Portuguese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I have had food from here 3 times and this would be my honest review. Pros: - saff is friendly - ambience is great and it's nice to see the big grill - lots of side options Cons: - chicken is dryer than the Sahara - chicken and potatoes just aren't seasoned enough with salt read more

Ordered and paid for a whole chicken. When I opened my order up at home, I discovered I was given a couple measly pieces of chicken and a ton of potatoes. Watch out at this place because they are cutting corners! read more

Came during a weekday in the afternoon, arriving to a short line up of 5 people in line which moved quickly. Menu is on the TVs to your right as your enter. Everything is front of you as you go through the line. Staff is bilingual, Portuguese and English, and extremely friendly/patient. Ordered cod patties. It's been years and it was just as delicious as I remembered. Full rotisserie chicken was standard. Nothing extraordinary. Potatoes in little balls. My lord. It's so delicious based on its own merits; however, it hits differently when you dip it in the Portuguese Piri Piri hot sauce. I got a couple hot sauce containers with my family meal, but opted to get the $7 bottle - so worth it. It's a little tangy due to vinegar - again, so worth it. Rice was bland. Would 100% return for cod patties and potato balls. read more

absolutely amazing food always come here when we're in the area, definitely recommend

Went there twice for a Too Good To Go deal. I like their food in general. It find their fried fish just a tad too salty for my taste.

Well I found this place because of an app called TooGoodToGo, which lets you purchase meals at the end of the day for a cheaper price. It had good reviews so I thought I'd try it. I was guessing I would get bbq chicken but to my surprise I got breaded fish! I was hesitant because most fish is fishy and not very good. But this had no fishy taste AT ALL!!!! Really good! I'm impressed. Believe me when I say I know fish and this was good fish! So for $6 I got a meal (meat with 2 sides rice and potatoes). I would definitely try it again and maybe I would order 2 next time and take the chance I'll get chicken next time. I didn't take a photo sorry. But next time I go, I will. It's worth the drive read more

Busy spot on rogers road for some Portuguese chicken! They have a lot of specials , family meal deals and assortment of mains. They're known for their bbq chicken but also serve fish fillets, calamari, ribs and etc! The guy at the cash was funny, the girl not so much. read more

Perfect lunch. Great staff, clean interior. A+ Portuguese chicken w potatoes and rice. If I lived closer, prolly go at least 1,2x a week... Busy area, traffic, some parking on street. read more

Best chicken ever but unhappy with my order placed with Skip the Dishes. I specified the side dishes but both dishes came with rice and potatoes. Had enough potatoes and rice to last me a week. They don`t read. read more

We have been searching for a Portuguese Chicken spot that is comparable to the ones we crave in Montreal. We live in the east side so we're not in the west side too often. Luckily for us, while hanging with some friends at a nearby brewery, we decided to try this place out. It did not disappoint. Just a few tables for seating, we noted a lot of people were coming in for pre-orders or take out. great prices and even have student specials! I need a St Matthews on the east side!! read more

Pros: Very well prepared food Great prices Friendly service Cons: Parking is hard to find My first foray into Portuguese chicken was an amazing experience to say the least. St. Matthew's has some of the best chicken I've ever tasted. Most importantly, it passed the mother in law test with flying colours!! Came in on a Sunday afternoon for take out. This place us mostly for take out but there a few tables for people to eat in. This place us super busy. There was a huge line spanning to the door as I walked in. Having said that, they're pretty fast at getting people in and out. Being an Asian guy, when you walk in to St. Matthew's, chances are you will be the only Asian in the entire place. The guy who seemed to be in charge, was one of the friendliest I have ever dealt with. He made me feel totally comfortable for my entire visit. On to the chicken. The chicken was some of the best chicken I've ever had. It was delicious and moist throughout. Even the breast meat was moist and juicy. We brought the chicken over to my mother in law's place for lunch. She's tough to impress when it comes to non-Asian food but she loved St. Matthew's!! At $13 for a while chicken, she was even more impressed! The only gripe you solo find with this place is the parking. There's not too much parking on the street so it can be hard to find a place to park during peak hours. I will be trying the other Portuguese chicken places around the area. St. Matthew's will definitely be my go to when I need to impress. read more

This has to be the BEST Churrasqueira chicken in the city and I've tried several in Rogers area. I drive across town to come and pick up my St, Matthews, then drive ALL THE WAY back home to enjoy it! I've stopped buying a quarter chicken because a half chicken dinner is only a couple bucks more and lasts so much longer! (Plus, I get leftovers for the next day which is right up this bachelors alley!) I usually get the special with rice and potato balls (hot sauce on the side) which is more than filling and a welcome change from the usual Sub or burger. Also very affordable at about $11. The chicken has NEVER let us down and I usually order a shish kebob as well for the drive home! The smell of the chicken cooking makes you want to eat everything there. The staff are very polite and friendly. Even though this place can get quite busy on the weekends, I find that the line moves at a reasonable pace. The dining room is fairly small so you'll probably want your food 'to go'...parking is quite limited as well being on Rogers so you might have to park on a side street. Overall, GREAT EXPERIENCE EVERY TIME!! read more

I have been eating here since they first opened for business. I love their chicken but their potatoes are TO DIE FOR.

Was in the area to eat at a regular spot but it was closed. We yelped this place and decided to give it a try. To say o was pleased is an understatement! The food was fantastic! They allowed our group of 6 to customize their plates with a (big) bit of various items. The ladies behind the counter were so friendly. If I had to say anything negative about this place it can only be that they don't have more seating. read more

Portuguese Chicken is da bomb! This place has some of the best Portuguese Chicken. Love the grilled chicken, rotisserie chicken is good too, but if you don't get the grilled, you may as well go to Swiss Chalet. I get it spicy, although they never really put enough spice on it. Roasted potatoes are actually roasted, not deep fried like some other places. Rice is good too, and it doesn't have olives in it (yuck - olives). 1/2 chicken combo is $9, and comes with rice and potatoes. Whole chicken is $9. Why eat anywhere else? read more

Great chicken! Huge portions! Get the Family Meal - feeds a huge family! Eat in is cozy!

Huge portions and flavourful dishes (chicken and fish). Will definitely be coming back to try other items on menu.

I find that there's no better Portuguese place than st. matthew's in the gta. Everything is so flavourful and chicken is juicy and never dry. Only crappy thing is the lack of parking, and service (sometimes). read more

By far and away the best chicken in the city. BBQd just perfect, tasty and moist! Hot plates are always spot on as well! Some of the most friendliest staff who are guinely happy to assist. read more

Definitely the best Churassqueira in town! The place itself is very clean and everything is always fresh. Their potatoes are baked which makes a huge difference compared to the other Portuguese grills on Rogers Road. Their roast beef is my favourite! Every time they have it I get some and am always disappointed I didn't order more. Customer service could improve! The owner can be a bit rude but besides that the food is top notch and I'll always be back! read more

Still one of the best Portuguese chicken places around. 20 years plus and they're still the restaurant of choice to cater our family events.

One of the best Portuguese chicken places in Corso Italia. They are cheap and they never disappoint.

really good rotisserie! and the olives (sold by lbs) are super meaty and so tasty. Excellent price. We usually go to Churrasco of St. Clair..this was better, the chicken was bigger and it was a better price. And what we loved the most was the wonderful smile on the lady who served us. read more

Come on guys get a grip with your chicken lately for the past few months now their grilled chicken as been really dry & no flavour. I notice though on a Sunday morning just around 11:30am I order grill chicken and it's delicious but other times during the week I order chicken and it's been dry with no flavour. I don't understand why it's delicious on Sunday mornings and other days not so good. I've tried other chicken places in the area & not so good so I'll keep coming back to St. Matthews only on Sunday mornings! read more

Very tasty chicken, generous sides, allowed substitutions without extra charge. Family has owned for 24 years. Family is courteous and helpful. read more

Best Portuguese chicken I have had, cooked perfectly moist on the inside while crispy on the outside. The hot sauce is the perfect addition. Will definitely recommend this to friends and family. This is my new go to place for chicken. read more

if you want amazing portuguese bbq chicken, these guys are 2nd to none. the grilled chicken is cooked to perfection. (crispy on the outside, juicy inside) the hot sauce kinda tastes like franks red hot, but its still really good the rotisserie is really good too, but the grilled is 100x better. the pricing is really fair also. for $20 you will get a whole BBQ chicken, a nice serving of potatoes and rice. at swiss chalet you cant even get a whole chicken for $20 i would recommend this place to anyone that loves portuguese chicken read more

Good chicken, they changed their recipe though. It used to be red chicken, now it's like Costa Verde, a similar Portuguese chicken business.

Absolutely love this place, my boyfriend and I drive a good 45 minutes just to have lunch or dinner here. The service is fantastic, and every one is very friendly and accommodating. The food is always fresh, and the portions sizes are very satisfying.!! read more

Good service friendly staff and very tasty food I think this is a good place if you're looking for Portuguese food in the area Weston Road

Visited this place for the first time based on other Yelp reviews. Ordered BBQ chicken, potatoes and rice. The food was terrific and service was friendly and efficient. I will come back for sure. read more

This place used to be one of the better Portuguese churrascos. NOT anymore. Like all others, the quality of food went downhill. WAAAAYYY TOO SALTY! On my last visit, I could barely eat it. No wonder most Portuguese have high blood pressure! read more

i normally find myself here after work on a Friday for their baked Cod dish. It's excellent. Amazing sauce, with onions and a big piece of cod, paired with rice and potatoes (ok its double carbs!) I split the dish with my husband as it's that big. You can call ahead if you don't want to wait! read more

The best in town. My opinion. Great flavour... Great price, fast service too. Always a great meal.

Dang that's some damn tasty chicken! They give you the option of rotisserie or grilled, I took the grilled and did not regret it for a second. read more
