Elmora Barbecue

  Absolutely BANGING Food! Awesome Awesome Awesome!  We used to come visit family in Elizabeth and they would go pick up food from Emora and we fell in love! Since then we moved to Elizabeth and have become frequent fliers.  We normally get the combination platter, the ribs are the best!
  
  Gotta try the T-bone next time.
  
  It's not a place to dine in at all, but we don't mind picking up and heading home to chow down.
  
  Parking is a huge...................Con, but we don't mind the walk either because the food is worth it!
  
  Another con is the fact they always tell you 30 mins, you end up waiting at home for
  45 mins before picking up and still end up waiting when you do find parking.

  This fucking place sucks. They fell off hard. I lived in elmora for some time, and it was always a good spot to go to, but the food now is burned, shitty, and the staff are rude and incompetent. And they don't speak English. I went down the street to costas BBQ, and they're 100 times better than this shithole. If u go in and you wait to be served, they don't take initiative and ask you, even if u have an order. There was numerous occasions, not just I, that people have gone in there and had to ask to be helped, even when they are the only people inside. Fucking idiots. Costas BBQ is where it's at, right down the street, and the food is cleaner and much more appetizing. It blows this shithole out the water. Go at ur own risk.

  This is the best Portuguese BBQ I've ever had.
  
  There's been a place down the street from me and one 10 blocks away from me...but still, this is the place to order from despite it being 10 minutes away.
  
  We ordered from them for a work party once and I volunteered to pick up all the food by myself. My plan was to take it all home for myself and never return to work again.
  
  But then the thought of depriving a massive amount of people from this heavenly array of artistry made me feel guilty.
  
  Suffice it to say, everyone partook in this epic feast.
  
  Not one was disappointed.
  
  And if someone was, they buuuuuggggggggggin' 4 real!

  Yummy yummy in my tummy. This Elmora BBQ is a true gem. I have been coming here since I was 10 years old. If you are looking for authentic Portugees BBQ this is the place to go to. Their rice is made daily in this huge pot.  Unlike other BBQ spots, they cut their own potatoes to fry.  They are not from a bag!  My family usually orders a chicken platter and the chicken is perfect. The seasoning is amazing. They season it will fresh garlic, some portuguese white wine, and some secret ingredients.
  
  As for the service, they could use a little bit of help especially during their busier times.  Only three guys work here.  One of them is the owner (the portuguese one...whose usually loud and sometimes a little bit tipsy to say the least).
  
  This BBQ is not a place to sit in.  They do have tables, but it's usually pretty loud.  I would suggest take out, but remember to call ahead.  If you don't speak Portuguese or Spanish, it might be a little bit hard to order.
  
  Still, this place is 4 stars because the BBQ is just that good. =)
