This is my new favorite place to eat at every time I am in the area. The food is always fresh and delicious, The service is top notch. And we never have to wait too long THANK YOU Craven BBQ 🙌🏼
So far I have been extremely pleased with the food and service here. The wings are great, and everything else I have had here has impressed me. Eating in is fine, but it can get crowded quickly.
One of my favorite Portuguese BBQ places in the area, especially offering great value in heir weekday lunch specials!! My favorite has to be their BBQ rib and chicken combo, where you get large serving sizes for the price (half or whole servings, you pick). Close to downtown too and I’ve both dined in and ordered to go—their space is small but works for small groups.
We used to like this place a lot but the service and food has gotten bad. We waited an hour for our food tonight, and I couldn't even eat it. We had to ask for bread after waiting for about 40 minutes. They used to automatically bring bread. We had to ask multiple times for water refills. The floors were filthy. And we could see the waitress's underwear. This is a picture of my very overcooked medium rare steak.
Incredible Portuguese BBQ! The chicken and ribs combo is fantastic. The flavor development really brings the experience to a new level. Even the Portuguese bread full of flavor, not just sitting on the sidelines.
Very clean place and delicious food! The guy who served us, was nice and pleasant. Inside this place feels like home. We were very satisfied. Recommend ❤️
What do you eat for St Patty's Day...whatever you are Craven! Me and 2 guys (hubby & cousin) shared some wings, I hogged the chicken empanada, Tostones, and we share the Piri Piri Mixed BBQ. Filling, delicious, and satisfying. Really great food if your in the mood for some latino cuisine.
I've been a regular customer for years because of the food, but not anymore. It took them 2 1/2 hours to deliver a $50 order with several promises of, "It'll be there in a minute" along the way. This was an online order at 5:30 on a weekday, with a 1/2 mile delivery. The last "it'll be there in a minute" was 25 minutes before delivery, and included a vague offer of a discount. Other fun tidbits: at the 45 minute mark they called to say they were out of something (surprise! it arrived in the order anyway, yet not the side of vegetables) BUT the food was just about ready... at the 90 minute mark I received a "Your order is ready" text. I called to make sure they didn't think it was a take-out order, but no, I was told it would just be a minute. At any point, they could have said, "Honestly, it will be a while." But you don't make your family other food if you were just reassured that the meal you paid for is finally, *Actually* on its way. No, you get them to the table, and you try to keep your toddlers from screaming by telling them how good the food will be, and you call the restaurant every 30 minutes, until you know better than to believe their "one more minute," and you give up and attempt to put your cranky kids to bed way too late and full of snacks. Did I mention they charged me the full price, delivery fee, and tip? Ironically, I would've been happy to pay that just for the knowledge that my food would never arrive.
