Stephanie's Barbecue Ii - Roselle Park

We try to explore a new Portuguese-style barbecue restaurant every now and then. We've passed by this place countless times on our way to and from Warinanco Park. These types of establishments are quite common, but most tend to be mediocre, offering large portions of grilled meats along with fries, rice, and beans. For us, Nunzio's in Vauxhall sets the standard for all similar spots. At Stephanie's, a large rib order featured several decent ribs, but it was mostly filled with oddly cut scraps, rib segments, and chewy bits of connective tissue and gristle. The highlight for us were the fries—hand-cut and delicious. Our experience with the service was quite different from what we've read in other reviews; it was very friendly. Thanks to the great fries and the warm service, I’m bumping this review up from two stars to three. Another spot checked off the list!

I received a small portion, and they cut the ribs in half to make it look like more food. The service was disappointing; they clearly don't regard other people's time. I was just there to pick up my order, which was already ready, but the woman kept getting distracted and it took her 15 minutes to ring me up. This was a pre-ordered takeout, meant to be quick and easy!

The food is decent, but the staff and owners are quite rude and unprofessional. They lack basic customer service skills, and the prices are high considering the portion sizes. I definitely wouldn't recommend this place for Portuguese cuisine.

The food here was amazing I recommend this place is underrated rice is amazing 5 stars

I'm just going to say, it was dang yummy. I ordered BBQ chicken (perfectly seasoned, no sauce needed, and a Portuguese sausage, along with rice and black beans. I ordered it through Doordash, and it was prepared quickly by the restaurant and arrived at my door hot.
