“ The best BBQ place in the area by far. I cannot say enough good things about the ribs in particular. So much flavor and very generous portions. The staff is always very friendly as well, even asking how my day is going when I stop in. Those little things go a long way. I look forward to coming in many more times. ”
“ Typical tasty portuguese barbecue with huge portions. Differently from other places, this one has a liquor license. The place looks like an old diner, very charming. There is parking in the back. Cheap, great for takeout but comfortable for dine-in. ”

“ First timer . Have always passed through this restaurant but never tried it before . Wanted to try because I like Portuguese menu. Nicely located . Very close to all other shopping destinations . There is a small bar and few table to sit and eat . Bar doesn't have much options of beer though. They just have few bottles and they are expensive . Wouldn't recommend this place for beers . Food was good . I ordered half rice and the quantity was so much . I wasn't able to finish it . They give half BBQ chicken , a plate full of rice and fries . Loved the fries .. chicken was cooked well. Rice was tasty too. Superb service . Very quick and friendly. Overall I liked this place ... ”
“ We have past this place so many times and only live less than 10 minutes away and never stopped in. Very glad we did. We ordered the 1/2 order of ribs and the piccadinho misto. We shared everything and really enjoyed our meal. We had enough to take home for 2 more meals each with only the half order. Such a great deal. Next time we'll save even more money by ordering one full size dish. Our server was very nice as well as the woman behind the bar area. They both took care of us well. ”
“ This is place is our FAMILY TOP FAVORITE!! From the friendliest service to the budget friendly menu with huge portion sizes for leftovers... Clark BBQ is the best! Flavorful, juicy, authentic, generous and shareable... despite the many churrasqueirias in pur area, this one's the best. Indior and outdoor seating is available, comfortable parking accessibility, and perfect location on a Raritan Ave corner. We eat-in and take-out from here all the time... and we have catered food from here almost exclusively. They're menu is extensive but we have found our family's favorites and we come bsck for the same every time. Its the kinda place where eventually everbody knows youre name! ”
“ Very good place to drop in on if your in the area. Not much for the rest in. Few tables that's it. But take out is plentiful as I seen while eating. I tried a breaded fish salad that was really good that I ate there. Fresh and tasty for sure. And got a order to go. fresh tilapia w/ shrimp cooked in a house cream sauce served w/ rice & vegetables I tasted it once got home and it was really good. Potatoes were cooked very well. Needed little salt and pepper but really good. Shrimp and fish was perfect. Can't wait to finish it later. I pass this place all the time going and coming from the bowling alley. So the menu is generous. So I'll be trying more from here. ”
