Omg what a pleasant surprise, after reading most of the reviews posted on line about Craven BBQ I was skeptical about order... food, but I did anyways, and boy oh boy I am glad I did!! The food is bomb. The rice was well cooked, the chicken was deliciousand flavorful. My son is a picky eater and he ate all of his food chicken, rice, and fries (made me smile). I will definitelyorder from this restaurant again and again!!!!!!! Read more
I've been a regular customer for years because of the food, but not anymore. It took them 2 1/2 hours to deliver a $50 order... with several promises of, "It'll be there in a minute" along the way. This was an online order at 5:30 on a weekday, with a 1/2mile delivery. The last "it'll be there in a minute" was 25 minutes before delivery, and included a vague offer of a discount.Other fun tidbits: at the 45 minute mark they called to say they were out of something (surprise! it arrived in the orderanyway, yet not the side of vegetables) BUT the food was just about ready... at the 90 minute mark I received a "Your order isready" text. I called to make sure they didn't think it was a take-out order, but no, I was told it would just be a minute. Atany point, they could have said, "Honestly, it will be a while." But you don't make your family other food if you were justreassured that the meal you paid for is finally, *Actually* on its way. No, you get them to the table, and you try to keep yourtoddlers from screaming by telling them how good the food will be, and you call the restaurant every 30 minutes, until you knowbetter than to believe their "one more minute," and you give up and attempt to put your cranky kids to bed way too late and fullof snacks. Did I mention they charged me the full price, delivery fee, and tip? Ironically, I would've been happy to pay thatjust for the knowledge that my food would never arrive. Read more
This is my new favorite place to eat at every time I am in the area. The food is always fresh and delicious, The service is top... notch. And we never have to wait too long THANK YOU Craven BBQ ???????? Read more
Incredible Portuguese BBQ! The chicken and ribs combo is fantastic. The flavor development really brings the experience to a new... level. Even the Portuguese bread full of flavor, not just sitting on the sidelines. Read more
We used to like this place a lot but the service and food has gotten bad. We waited an hour for our food tonight, and I couldn't... even eat it. We had to ask for bread after waiting for about 40 minutes. They used to automatically bring bread. We had to askmultiple times for water refills. The floors were filthy. And we could see the waitress's underwear. This is a picture of myvery overcooked medium rare steak. Read more
One of my favorite Portuguese BBQ places in the area, especially offering great value in heir weekday lunch specials!! My... favorite has to be their BBQ rib and chicken combo, where you get large serving sizes for the price (half or whole servings, youpick). Close to downtown too and I?ve both dined in and ordered to go?their space is small but works for small groups. Read more
Craven BBQ is amazing - chicken is good, standard Portuguese BBQ but the standouts are the pork ribs and the fries! The ribs are... the perfect combination of tangy and smokey. The fries aren't frozen resturant depot ones thrown into a fryer; these are freshcut fried and kissed with a little slat. The best comparison for their fries are boardwalk fries. You won't be disappointedgoing there. Read more
