  1. Picnic barbecue … Man o man! $8 of pure deliciousness. I'm very picky with my rice and Portuguese rice is just not my fav. but besides that everything at this spot was on point.

    Miss being in Newark for these type of spots. Cheap, big portions, and bangin. Many people pick up and go but they have a decent sit down area for those wanting lunch/dinner.  You can tell decor isn't a priority but when you're serving good food, I wouldn't care much either. The servers and staff in the front are all friendly.

    My supervisor took me out for lunch and we shared the half  chicken special, with rice, fries, and a huge salad. I felt like we ate so much but we still had enough to take home. That's how big the portion was for "half chicken". Awesome spot to get a delicious meal that won't break the bank.

  2. Got the half chicken which comes with two sides (plenty of food). I got rice and veggies. The veggies were bland, 0 seasoning but the chicken and rice was great, the skin had plenty of flavor and the meat was very tender and juicy. Good find for lunch!

  3. No parking once so ever around, you will be lucky to find one, place was pretty packed in the front for to go orders, and the back had many seated people, it's self seat, so I set at table one. A lady came and gave me the menu, I browsed it for a bit and went with the beef ribs, bbq chicken, rice, and fries…the portion was HUGR, I destroyed it all like a savage lol… Total was about 23ish dollars…left 30$…food was great! A must try if you're in the downtown Newark area!

  4. We ordered delivery at work today and I'm pretty impressed.

    It took less than 20 minutes to get here. We didn't even ask but they even included plates & utensils..great service!

    We got the picadinho, bbq chicken and bbq ribs, which were all good. The picadinho is one of the best I've ever had.

  5. The only reason they deserve any stars is for the fact that they're one of the many bbq spots that deliver. The food was not good at all. Since I am a frequent at Ferry St. BBQ I expected Picinic bbqs food to be somewhat similar (they offer the same kind of food). I waited over an hour for extremely stringy dry ribs and a laughable portion of chicken. I ordered a combo and my platter consisted of mainly yellow rice. Why do they waste all of that rice? I also asked for salad instead of fries without onions and guess what I was blessed with??! Extra onions darling! Guys if you're looking for quality Portuguese bbq go to ferry bbq; they don't deliver but you'll save 6 bucks for more food and it's delicious.
