Where To Eat Outside In Jersey City & Hoboken - New York - The Infatuation

"This open-pit BBQ spot in McGinley Square is open for takeout and outdoor dining from 12-10pm every day except Monday. The menu is primarily made up of BBQ staples like beef ribs or chicken legs, but there are also a few subtle nods to the restaurant’s Portuguese name, including caldo verde soup, Portuguese sausages, and caipirinhas." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, matt tervooren

Both my friend and I go here as regulars to get our favorite delicious burgers!! Love the staff and shout out to Kat who makes the best Pina Colada drink ever!! Burgers are so filling and I love how seasoned the fries are. (Missed when this place use to put oregano on the fries, it gave it so much flavor! Also wish the bergen burger came back to the menu :( it was my favorite of all) But I respect David for doing his best to compromise for my favorite burger. All in all, I can't get a burger from anywhere else. I tried... trust me... This is the only place I must have a burger from when I'm craving it.

Update 5/2022 On my most recent visit, I am sad to day the place has changed. The quality of the food has degraded. It is possible that there are new cooks, and if so, then there should be consistency, but there is not. I traditionally order the usually, but each time the portions get smaller, prices get higher, and the flavor and presentation is absent. I do understand there are hard times upon many businesses but the goal is to maintain consistency to assure each experience is better than the last. Overall, they have lost their direction and focus more on the alcohol. Very sad!

The place is great. The ribs was delicious! Service was pretty large. Parking was a bit difficult since only street parking is available..had to go around in circles before i found a decent place to park.. But its all worth it!

My favorite spot in Jersey City! Amazing staff, food, and vibes always. With decently priced drinks, food that fills you up, and music that gets you moving? I suggest Carvao to everyone I know. My partner and I have celebrated anniversaries, birthdays, and amazing times here. We'll be back soon 😁

Chicken and Ribs are to die for! Food is always excellent and the drink specials are not too shabby either. Definitely worth the visit and your time.

A south American BBQ joint with a cozy relaxed feel. Bring a date or come cheer on your favorite team. The food is great. The ribs are unmatched in Jersey City.

Definitely not worth price of the food. Medium ribs $25 Dozen wings $17. How can you support small business when you get cheated with price and portions.
