Backyard Bbq - South Plainfield

I had the opportunity to eat at the Backyard BBQ on two occasions while working in the South Plainfield school District. The main person at the register was very nice and attentive. Held a great conversation. More importantly, the food was great the first time. So much so, that I had to go a second time. And the second time did not disappoint. Whenever I’m in the area again, I will be eating lunch and potentially dinner at this restaurant.

This is pretty much a walk-in but the food was excellent last time. When we've had the pork cubes they were dry. The shrimp appetizer is tasty but not worth the money. I know shrimp isnt cheap, but seems overpriced. THe $25 steak is right for the price! In the pic, I'd only cut off about 1/4 of the steak. Two of us ate it for one meal and I cut up the rest and fried it back into the rice as leftovers for three people.

Good Portuguese barbecue in huge portions. I got the BBQ Chicken and Beef Short Rib combo (plain no sides). There was more a person could possibly eat. The chicken was excellent, but the beef short ribs were overcooked and tough. It was served in a covered aluminum tray, which unfortunately I cut myself removing the cover. I am not in this area often, but if I return, I will try something else here maybe just the chicken by itself.

The absolute worst that I ever had in my life. I got a mix chicken and shrimp didn't put any shrimp in there. The chicken was hard burnt wasn't good at all but you live and learn never ever again place didn't even have plastic spoons. Don't waste your time or your money please. There's so many other places you could eat from...
