Valley Portuguese BBQ

Gigantic portions. Good not great food. Give them a shot.

Went back for a second visit and was sorely disappointed. Ordered 1/2 chicken, yellow rice and veggies (cabbage, carrots and potatoes). The chicken was BONE dry..I mean inedible. I shared this with the waitress? owner?  and asked if it was possible to get another piece..she said, " no, it's the half and that's how we cut it..." Ummm, okay...after staring at my dried up piece of poulet for about 10 minutes I tried again...told her that i really thought the chicken was inedible...not even an acknowledgment that she heard me--wtf????? Veggies were waaaay over salted (and I LOVE salt) and the rice was okay. Asked for water and was told to get a bottle from the cooler, i asked again and indicating that tap was fine and she bought it to me but very reluctantly. No more second chances for this spot. If others experience this horrific service and mediocre food, I'm beating the spot will be closed in less than a year.

Not Ferry street in Newark but not bad for Maplewood South Orange. Give them a shot!
