Great place to go after a night on the town...open till 4 am portugese, diner style...maily breakfast- cheap, good service, it is what is is- check it out- lacks spice (portugese is a bit bland- no hot sauce or spicy sausage) more

yuck!

It was a very disappointing dinner...!!! And as a half portuguese, I can say that this is not REAL PORTUGUESE FOOD!!!! My cod dish looked like a bunch of leftovers (cod, potatoes) thrown together in a pan full of oil :( Also, this is not a very clean place... very disappointed as I had high expectations after seeing it on... more

Mix of burgers, sandwiches, steaks, chicken dishes and traditional Portuguese fare. My blue cheese burger was very tasty. Washed it down with a Portuguese beer - Sagres Dark. Apple pie to finish it off. And the people running it were very sweet. more

Good place for late night eats (i.e. greasy diner stuff after you've been out drinking), a classic milkshake, or a hearty breakfast more
