"We dined in and ordered the Portuguese-style chicken, and honestly, it was up there with what we usually get on Ferry Street in Newark. The seasoning had that classic kick and the skin was perfectly charred, but what surprised us was how juicy the meat stayed all the way through. If you’ve ever had Whorton’s or Ferry Street BBQ, this place hits the same vibe — maybe even better on flavor, and definitely less salty. Add a side of rice and beans, and you’ve got a meal that tastes like a Newark classic without the drive."

"For a casual night out or take-out, Fire Pit Grill hits hard on value and flavor. I ordered a half-chicken platter open-pit grilled, with rice and veggies — plenty of food and great taste, and even came with leftovers. The portion sizes make it ideal for two or a hungry solo dinner. Friendly vibe, great BBQ taste, and cooking over real wood-fired charcoal makes a difference compared with typical grill places."

"If you’re into international-style BBQ and grilled food, Fire Pit Grill doesn’t disappoint. I got the NY-strip with garlic shrimp platter — the steak was grilled over open charcoal and had that nice char and smoky flavor, while the shrimp added a garlicky kick. Add a side of yucca fries and some sweet plantains, and it’s like a full Mediterranean-BBQ experience. Great for dinner nights when you want something a little different than the usual burger or pizza."

"Fire Pit Grill is a solid go-to when you want bold, wood-fired flavor. I tried their ribs and a “Giants Platter” — smoky, nicely seasoned ribs with hearty sides and generous portions. The garlic shrimp appetizer was a great start: juicy, garlicky and full of flavor. Service felt friendly and it’s perfect for a family dinner or a takeout feast when you want something filling and satisfying."
