This place is so delicious! It smells so good with the grill cooking all the meats. They have amazing prices for the portion of food you get and very fresh! The staff is very kind and accommodating we went for lunch table of 5 and it was readily available. The location of this place is it's only downfall since parking can be rough :/ But overall very good and solid lunch spot!!

Everything I ate was good. The French fries were outstanding. I would choose them over the roasted potatoes. I wouldn't recommend the sausage in wine sauce because it just tasted like sausage sitting in wine...too much wine not enough sauce. The sausage itself was tasty. Be sure to ask exactly what kind of steak you are ordering (sirloin, cheesesteak, flank) so you are not surprised when it arrives. I got a steak sandwich and the roll was a delicious wrapper on the sandwich. I also had the beef ribs, which I highly recommend. The staff was friendly and attentive. My one real complaint is that there is no separation between the grill and the dining area, so it got a little smoky at times. Overall, though, I would recommend this place when in the area.

I will be keeping this review short and sweet because I know anyone who has eaten at this restaurant knows how delicious their food is. I always get the short ribs and chicken combo meal with rice and French fries. Their quality control is always on point and the service is as well. Staff if friendly and fast with whatever you order. I even really like their Spanish coffee too. Short rib and chicken are always delicious and juicy with just the right amount of seasoning. I recommend this place to anyone craving some delicious Portuguese food. Ambiance is fine, nothing fancy inside but that doesn't matter because of how tasty their food is. I will always eat here every chance I get, I recommend this place to everyone. I will be back soon!

Ate here for lunch before a 4pm New Jersey Devils game on a Sunday. Was greeted at the door by the cashier & was immediately seated. The dining area was packed & few people were waiting for pick-up orders- looked like a great sign that the food was fresh. There were a few tables of hockey fans eating before the game, looked like a few tables of people eating after going to church (dressed very nicely) and a few casual diners. ordered: Fried banana for an appetizer Steak with peppers & onions (came with fries & yellow rice) My friend ordered the steak & eggs (came with fries & yellow rice) Huge, delicious portions!

3.75 I've only had McWhorter a few times even though they are a staple down neck. Ate inside for the first time the other day and decided it was time I leave a review. They get very busy at lunch just so you know. The fact they are always busy with tables and takeout assures you get fresh food. We had the Spanish chorizo appetizer which has a nice taste of the red wine. We also had a chicken and beef rib combo. Fresh and delicious. Their prices have gone up a bit, but they are still reasonably priced compared to some other places. If you are in the area I would highly recommend for a casual lunch. ENJOY!!!

McWhorter BBQ is the epitome of simple done right. No 30 ingredient rubs. .. just simple meat, seasoning, and rendered fat sizzling over hot coals to create flavorful smoke. The aroma in this place is intoxicating. Many BBQ spots serve overcooked chicken that's been drying out in a warmer. McWhorter is a busy busy place. This allows them to serve hot juicy chicken from open to close. The beef ribs are solid and while the BBQ sauce isn't necessary. ..but could be better. I spent nearly a year in Newark with this place on heavy rotation for good reason. ..the pork ribs. The pork ribs are definitely the way to go. Cooked relatively quickly, yet somehow tender with perfect char. This isn't low and slow BBQ. Not the fanciest restaurant, but the best places usually aren't. Can't beat these prices either for the quality or quantity. I really wish we had something comparable in Chicago.
