    Let me just start of by saying amazing costumer service! I called was able to order it ahead and pick up just in time for lunch. The owners are lovely and had an amazing chat with them while they got my last part of my order ready. The food was delicious! I will definitely not only be back but recommend this place to my friends and family looking for something fun to try! Definitely worth trying:))

    Absolutely delicious! We ordered to go and sat at the bar while waiting and had a wonderful conversation with the owner. Kind owner and delicious food! Highly recommend the garlic shrimp with rice and green beans, cod sandwich with potato salad, and Rib eye sandwich. The dessert custards are a must!!

    What a treat to find this gem. We had the Prego (thinly sliced steak sautéed in wine, butter, and garlic sauce) served with green beans, and the Char-grilled Chicken with Portugeuse Rice and green beans. We cleaned our plates. Highly recommended!

    Had lunch there today with my Son. Visiting from JAX, FL. LOVED the food, and the service. Highly recommend. I had the codfish fillets with rice and my Son had the Bitoque Sandwich. Mine was excellent, he said he hadn’t had a sandwich that good in a looong time.

    Stopped in for the first time for lunch. Little Portugal sounded like a good place for something different. It was delicious and the owner so very kind and friendly! We had a chicken empanada, Shrimp bowl in a delicious and different sauce. Green beans and potato salad were our two sides for the entree. For dessert we had a cream tart. It was a tease. Get two they were delicious and too tiny to get just one! Would like to go back soon for the Chicken!

    You must eat the Pork Sandwich! It will change your life! I adore this wonderful locally owned international taste oh heaven! Authentic flavors and quality ingredients are so rare to these days- an absolutely delightful restaurant. Friendly, convenient and delicious. eat in or take out - are both worthy!

    Marvelous restaurant. First, the service, superior, the people are kind and really helpful. Food, delicious. I started with the Paisteis de Chaves, pastry filled with ground beef, excellent. Next the Bacalhau a Braz, scrambled cod, onions, eggs & fries all mixed, incredible. And last but not least, the dessert: Natas do Ceu, Heavenly Cream, homemade cream layered with Maria cookies, delightful and Pasteis de Nata, cream pastries, delectable. 'Muito Gostoso' is the right way to describe this restaurant, delicious, incredible service. I will come back!

    Delicious food! I'll be sure to return when I'm in town again. Save room for the warm custard tarts for dessert!

    I was so excited to try this place. Lived in Portugal and miss eating "Shrimp Empanadas" from Portugal. I met the owner and she is amazing. Asked her if these Shrimp Empanadas were home made, and unfortunately she mentioned they are "frozen". When I got home to try these took one bite and they are nothing like what I used to eat when I lived in Portugal, had to toss them. No restaurant should be serving frozen food ever. Again, loved the owner, but shame on you for serving "frozen" Rissois de Camerao. Will try to make these myself!

    Foods always great. Owner and proprietor is funny and down to earth. Support this local business. The food the sell is unique for this area

    My daughter and I were starving, but we wanted to try something different that we hadn't eaten 50 -eleven times already. This restaurant popped up in the near me search, and after reading the reviews, we went for it. AND we were not disappointed! The food, cook (owner), and waitress were all amazing. I also enjoyed perusing the wall of imports available for purchase. I would not hesitate to recommend to friends, family, or colleagues. 💕

    This restaurant is a real find if you're after fantastic sides and authentic flavors. Seriously, their fries and rice are some of the best I've had. The chicken is really tasty too; it may not be a game-changer, but it's definitely a strong player in the overall delicious meal. The staff here are top-notch, super attentive, and just genuinely nice people. Being a family-owned place, you can feel the love and care in every detail, including how spotless and charming the space is. If you're looking for a meal that hits all the right notes in a cozy, clean setting, you're going to want to give this place a 5-star visit.

    We had three "snacks" plus two sides. Everything was delicious. The beef puffs were my favorite. Wonderful service. The owner was delightful and gave us great guidance, as we were new to Portuguese cuisine.

    We visited Little Portugal for the first time today and disappointed we haven’t come sooner! Everything was SO authentic, fresh and delicious. We just got back from a trip to Portugal and THIS place is as authentic as it gets!! They even have Portuguese beer. Chicken piri piri and potato salad was amazing! We will be back!!

    We tried this for the first time today and it was absolutely delicious! Best cod sandwich I’ve ever had in my life, the pork cutlet sandwich was also great as well as the beef pastry. The kids had chicken cutlets and fries which they loved. The service was excellent, we will be returning!

    My husband had the baked quarter chicken and fries,and I had the pork sandwich on a REAL Portuguese roll!! Very authentic, will definitely go back. The only reason I gave 4 stars is bc other than some potugal flags, the restaurant ambiance was cafeteria or fast food, lights too bright.

  • 5/5 KathyZ 1 year ago on Google
    Loved it. The customer service was great and so was the food. I definitely recommend the little custard desserts. Totally worth the little higher price point than I usually go for. Will definitely return.

  • 5/5 Joshua R. 1 year ago on Google
    My family and I had such a pleasant experience here. The food was great – – different than anything we’ve tried – – and one of the best parts was Rose, the owner. She is one of the best parts of the experience. She was so kind, funny, and personable. We look forward to going back soon.

  • 5/5 Melinda T. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was great! It was a crazy busy day after the storm but, the place was packed all at once and food was still on point. She was a one man band behind the line, I was impressed. Cashier was sweet but, needs a little more experience keeping orders straight.
