Royal Restaurant Cafe 296 North Front Street, New Bedford, MA 02746

"Best Portuguese style dry rub ribs you can buy in the area. Absolutely delicious and one of my favorites. I've had it many times and its always consistent. Try it and see for yourself. They also do great job catering orders with trays of rice, potatoes, meat, chicken, and fish filets being some of my favorites."

"Any time Wendy is there, which is most of the time, the experience is miserable all around. She has a major attitude problem no matter if she's speaking to a customer, or one of the other girls who work there. One of the other girls, an absolute sweet heart with a great positive attitude kindly let her know that the bag she handed me was another person's salad and not the meal I ordered. She stuck her hand up toward the other girl's face and said "don't worry about what I'm doing, worry about what you're doing. With an attitude, and then proceeded to huff n puff when I asked for a fork. Also, another time I went in there, I was "greeted" with "what do you want?" By her. The owner, Carlos, at first seemed nice but he owns the apartment building next door and treats his english speaking tenants like garbage, even though they are the only ones who help him. Wendy needs to find a new job away from the public. she has no respect. Thinks she is the boss."

"This was the best dining experience o have had in a long time! Lunch prices were excellent! I ordered chorizo & cheese sandwich with fries. Hubby ordered grilled chicken and cheese sandwich with fries. He said it was the best chicken sandwich he has ever had. Food came fast. There's a family style dining area where we sat that was very clean and a lounge with bar adjacent to the dining room with a few tables and keno. I will come here again very soon!"

"Good Experience! Staff were very friendly although they seemed understaffed and swamped with orders, food took a while, the Picanha was great, but the Surf and Turf was noticbly overcooked and the Shimo Mozambique was kinda bland, the homemade chips were really good also."

"The Royal NEVER disappoints... Always leave full and happy!! Our waitress Veronica was super sweet and attentive and Bartender Debbie makes some great drinks! Definitely a place to visit when you're in the city!"
