Horrible restaurant! Waste of money! I order 2 ½orders of ribs with rice and fries and got like 4 ribs and a huge tray of white rice and fries. Don't belive me? Take a look at the pictures... I have never had an issue like this in a restaurant. No sauces, tasteless plain white rice. Oh btw CASH ONLY!!

I move too south river,and this was my first experience with royal barbecue at first the owner treated me very nice he is very mean and nasty he changes the prices on all his food they are effing slow,only two people working and he seem too take care of his own people instead of paying customers I will never go back here again in life he lost a very good customer which is me effing place should be shutdown! 0 effing stars from me

I should have known from the pictures that this was not going to be good. (There are no pictures of the actually food here.) We are new to the area so we really look to others reviews for guidance. From those we read, we had really high expectations. This food really deserves one star but I gave two for getting my order right. One of the reviews we read said they have the “best food in South River”. If that is true, I have absolutely nothing to look forward to in the restaurants here. My family and I won’t be patronizing here again.

Always delicious food and the owner has a great sense of humor. Always clean and never disappointed. Highly recommended!

First time trying this place and was very disappointed. Chicken lacked flavor big time and the rice was terrible……just plain steamed white rice like you get from the Chinese restaurant. I will stick to my usual places in Perth Amboy and Colonia where the chicken and rice are bursting with flavor!

This restaurant is my preferable site. Of all restaurants I know I like it most. I never miss an opportunity to go to that place. everytime I want to go to a decent supper, this place comes first to my mind. very good and diverse food and a large list of dishes.generous staff members, and good ambience. Also important, the cost is fair. I tell about this restaurant with great pleasure.

Best frango in the area. Ribs are great too. Definitely call for takeout. Prices are A+++! Closed on Mondays -

This is an amazing hidden place in South River for grilled meats as family meals. So affordable usually all items are less than $20. Remember to bring cash as they do not take credit cards. Take out only. Caldo verde soup was yummy and homemade. A tray is always enough for a family or a day not to cook

I go there every other wknd it's great food and very cheap. Chicken rice and fries yummy

he was very rude in the service.

Great Portuguese chicken ribs or steak. Cash only

Such a bad place, food and customer service

First time ordering from this place. The man was rude and abrupt. He said it would be ready by 7:15pm. When I arrive to pick up my food it isn’t ready. Then I have to go to an ATM because, in this day & age, they don’t take credit/debit cards. When I get back, my food is still not ready. 45 minutes later, no food. This place is the opposite of recommended!

Person who answers the phone is always so rude. "Ok bye!" and clicks on you before you're even done ordering! Don't bother ordering here.
