Long Ave BBQ Hillside Introduce

Long Ave BBQ in Hillside, New Jersey, is a dynamic and flavorful dining destination that expertly bridges the robust traditions of a Portuguese Churrasqueira with the hearty offerings of a classic American-style steak house. This popular local establishment serves as a fantastic gathering spot for residents in Union County, celebrated for its authentic, charcoal-grilled meats and generously portioned meals. Identified as a proud Latino-owned business, it offers more than just a meal; it provides a cultural experience rooted in deep flavor and family-friendly hospitality.

The restaurant operates as a multi-faceted eatery, encompassing the best of a Barbecue restaurant, a Chicken specialist, and a full-fledged steak house. The core of its menu revolves around the art of the grill, specializing in "Churrasqueira-style" dining where meats are expertly cooked over charcoal to achieve a smoky, succulent finish. This traditional cooking method is what gives their signature BBQ Chicken its crispy skin and intense flavor, a local specialty that draws diners from across the region.

While the name features BBQ, the "steak house" identity is proudly upheld by an impressive selection of cuts and preparations, including the famous 'Picanha' (Sirloin Steak), Baby Churrasco (Prime Skirt Steak), and the substantial T-Bone Steak. For those seeking an authentic taste of Portugal, the menu features the beloved 'Portuguese Style Steak,' a dish known as Bitoque—a tender steak traditionally topped with a fried egg and served in a delicious pan sauce alongside rice and fries. Whether you're craving comforting, perfectly grilled chicken, a rich Portuguese specialty, or a classic steak dinner, Long Ave BBQ offers a cozy and casual atmosphere where groups and families can enjoy substantial, flavorful food for brunch, lunch, or dinner.
