First time here. Made reservations online and seated upon arrival. Loved the different sections of the building. There’s a take out corner and a bar area with tvs and even an outside patio. We were seated at a nice table in the dining area. Everyone we met greeted us kindly with smiles. Our server was Isabel. She was very enthusiastic and helpful. We had the full rodizio and ordered cocktails, apps, and dessert. Our burger sliders were so delicious. The full rodizio came with a yummy selection of sides including fries, fried bananas, blackbeans, rice, yucca flour, and pico. The varieties of meat were seasoned perfectly and cooked to our perfect temperature. The rate at which food came out was also perfect and we had time to rest a tiny bit between courses and varieties of meat. We somehow still managed to save a tiny space for dessert, and the tres leches and serradura were both delicious. Would definitely come back to enjoy andother Rodizio experience or even just try different entrees without over stuffing ourselves!

What a fantastic dining experience! From the moment we entered the establishment, we were treated like VIP’s. The ambiance is spectacular, and the service was spot on.

What a hidden gem. Outside of Ferry street I did not think I could find a place this good. Let me start with the amazing service. They really put in the extra effort to make you feel at home. Food was prepared just the way I wanted. The Caipirinha was perfect. The chicken, ribs and Picanha were delicious. I saw another table order the rodizio and sangria. I will definitely try those next time.

We are from MD and celebrated our son’s baptism in NJ, decided to do catering from Paulos BBQ base on reviews and it turned out great, food (quality and quantity) was AMAZING, everyone was very satisfied and we received so many compliments on the menu.

Had the traditional rodizio lunch it was good a lot of meat. I’ve had better tasting meat but no complaints.

Ask for Rosey. She is an amazing server and individual. She helped both me and my boyfriend decide everything from the apps to the drinks to dessert. The food was amazing and fresh. Portion sizes were also very generous. The staff as a whole was also very friendly and welcoming from the beginning. The manager Mataos helped us as well with cocktails and their specialty hot sauce which were both very tasty. We will definitely be back with friends and always recommend everyone come here for date night! Thank you all so much!

Great food and great sangria! The bar tenders are friendly and make excellent drinks. I love the garlic chicken and portions are enough to take home for the next day. The shrimp with sausage was one of the best appetizers. We also had calamari. Dessert was yummy and our server came around with a tray to show us each item. Definitely recommend the flan! Food came out quickly once ordered. Their takeout is probably the best value as it is huge and easily enough to split between two people. It’s family friendly and casual. Can’t wait to return!

I recently visited Paulos and it was not a good experience. They have the rodizio who they say you can’t share but they serve a lot so my brother who ordered it gave me a few pieces to empty his plate. because they saw that from inside they sent not only the waitress but two other people including an owner to say that we had to pay for another rodizio. I had also ordered a dish for myself that was not rodizio. I was not happy with their service, they should charge more with the idea that people are going to share but not force on people that they have pay for having a few pieces just to taste. Personally i am not going back. Since the ownership changed the service and attitud in this restaurant has been in the decline. I am not going back there again..
