Maria’s BBQ

"This restaurant had such great reviews I decided to try it with my gf while we were in the area. Unfortunately now I am suspicious of these reviews. We did not have a great customer experience as the wait staff prioritized spanish speaking patrons. For a sit down restaurant where a tip was expected, we found basic customer service lacking (not being offered water upon being seated, being delivered food with no utensils, waitress skipped us repeatedly when doing her rounds). The food was also a miss. We separately ordered different empanadas with different fillings and they were delivered on the same plate, and the waitress was unable to differentiate which order was which (chicken vs cheese), forcing us to awkwardly bite into one so we could determine which was which. The meat for the entree was cooked in an overly salty sauce that was difficult to swallow. Really disappointing experience."

"I have been ordering from Maria's BBQ since June... My family loves the BBQ chicken and shrimp dishes . The rib platter keeps my husband happy. Everything is seasoned and very well marinated."

"The place was very nice and cozy. the cashier was very nice and helpful. the steak and shrimp they have is very tasty. i will go there again :)"

"Omg what a fantastic place. Yeah, it may look like a small place but let me tell you that the food has gigantic flavor. We shared the mixed Picanho with yellow rice and beans. The meat was juicy, the potatoes were text and I've never had better rice and beans. Fabulous place and if you live in the Orange, NJ area, they deliver. Check em out. I promise you'll have a fabulous Portuguese meal."
