Delicious Portuguese restaurant that has both a smaller, faster dining side that includes a bar with a few TVs, and a more formal dining side. There is also a takeout section. This restaurant is always packed, especially for dinner. The food is delicious and authentic.

This is a takeout only BBQ shop. They offer a few items on the menu, but honestly I always get the ribs or a full chicken. An order of either is around $12 and includes rice and french fries. Plenty of tasty, fresh food for a fantastic price.

Drinks & Nightlife
The Ironbound has a heavy concentration of Portuguese immigrants and descendants. It is arguably the nicest part of Newark. I put this under "drinks & nightlife" but there are tons of delicious, authentic restaurants here. Go to Ferry Street.
