    BBQ Combo Chicken and Pork Ribs - more chicken is under the rice
    Kimberly G.

    I've passed this place a thousand times and finally decided to give it a try last night, especially since you can smell the barbecue wafting from down the street. I tried the chicken and rib combo with rice and beans and ordered a side of vegetables (cabbage and carrots). The portion size was very fair, and I was pleased with the meat to rice/beans ratio since some places overload you with rice! I thought the meat was fantastic, tender, and had great flavor. For an extra charge, I purchased garlic sauce, and it was absolutely perfect for dipping the meat in. It also took the rice and beans up another notch! The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the vegetables. They were boiled and had no seasoning, plus there was still a little bit of water in the container, so the veggies weren't as crisp as I'd prefer. I paid extra for the vegetables, but next time, I'll pass and stick with the two sides included with the meal. Otherwise, it was a great dinner and enough for lunch today (and maybe tomorrow).

    1 rib and a chicken breast

    If i could give them zero stars I would. Since when does a half of a order consist of 1 rib and a piece of chicken. I spent over 40 dollars. I spoke to the owner she told me i have to call hillside location . Why should i when she is the owner. Didnt compensate me or anything i will never spend a dollar at neither one of her restaurants again. This is what i got for a half n half chicken and rib combo. I asked for barbecue sauce and utensils didnt even get 1 napkin. Then very rude on top of that when i called about my order.

    The food here is AMAZING! So hard to find a place that has an open pot for BBQ. I come all the way from NYC just to eat here. The staff is also very friendly and accommodating. I definitely reccomend the Combo dish so you can try a little of each thing.

    The place is small. Food took long to come out. Tables were filthy. Chicken was bland. Empanadas were salty. The rice was good. Only stopped here because we were at paint and chill up the street and we were starving

    The cabbage is bland. The ribs are okay. The chicken is just okay. The rice is bland. The fried plantains are great.

    Most food was not cooked right (under and overcooked). Nothing is seasoned well. Substitutions were made to order without being informed.

    We ordered the family combo for takeout, and it was delicious! There was enough food for 4 people,…read moreand it was piping hot.

    I really miss Portuguese BBQ in NJ from when I used to work in Newark, but rarely come out this way…read moremuch anymore. BBQ joints dotted the landscape in the Ironbound neighborhood. But I found Long Ave BBQ on a Yelp search and on a trip back on I-78, I took a detour through Hillside to pick up dinner. The place reminds me of all the hole-in-the-wall places in the Ironbound with stainless steel covering everything, a brick pit charcoal grill and a giant ventilation hood sucking all the smoke up through the chimney and the whole neighborhood smells like BBQ. One innovation I see is that they use a motorized grill basket system that's constantly turning a bunch of grill baskets with chicken & ribs sandwiched in them. After perusing the menu, I order the Parrillada Portuguesa, a huge family meal for 6 people, that'll last my little family of 3 for 3 days. The PP comes with grilled chicken breast, a half chicken, pork ribs & cross sliced beef short ribs (Korean LA Kalbi style). The slices of chicken breast are too dry and with not a lot of flavor, but the pork ribs have that Ironbound Portuguese charcoal flavor I miss so much (even though a few ribs were a little tough to chew). The BBQ half chicken is alright, but not as much flavor as Peruvian rotisserie style and the short ribs are not as good as Korean style. I think they should do whole beef ribs Southern style, low and slow or even a whole beef brisket would be great. The Parrillada comes with 2 side dishes that are not shy by any means. You get an aluminum tray filled with 1/2 french fries and 1/2 rice that will be enough for 3 meals also! Next time, I would come back just for a full rack of the pork ribs, but I hope that the pitmaster doesn't overcook it.
