OMG! The best Portuguese food I ever had in my life! I live about an hr away, and I will definitely be returning back with more family and friends to put them on this phenomenal gem! Crazy thing is, I found this place by mistake! Lol. We were going to go to another restaurant in the area but it was closed, this place was literally 900 feet away, my family was starving we were like, “what the hell, let’s give it a shot” omg! Thank god we did! Delicious seafood, so fresh, all the flavors are just perfect! Also delicious dessert! Carlos and Luis are phenomenal waiters that really make you feel like you’re at home. Just an overall great experience I’m probably going back next week with more family and friends! It’s that good!

This place was always amazing, until recently. On several occasions, the food has been mediocre. On one visit, I had a piece of hairy mold in my rice. Just a few days ago, I ordered a whole chicken and got 3 legs and 1 breast. Unless it was raised near a nuclear power plant, there should no reason a chicken should have 3 legs and 1 breast. They're supposed to be taking the chickens right off the grill and chopping them up and throwing them in the aluminum container. I'm not sure why they're mixing chickens. On top of that, the chicken tasted old and stale, like it had been boiled in a soup or something. Never again. This was the last straw. I posted pics to prove the nuclear chicken I received. If you look closely, you can see the 3 drumsticks.

My dad first put me on this restaurant by its delicious, fresh takeout food. We'd typically order octopus or whole fish. My parents decided to take us out for our birthday and it was not a disappointment. I felt like I was in Portugal without actually traveling there and it's a home away from home from the moment you walk in. Everyone ordered different entrées and each dish offered a unique, top-quality taste. If you're looking for an authentic Portuguese spot in the Hudson County area, Pic-Nic is your go-to!

If I could share more stars I would! What a lovely place, delicious and service was right on the money! We had a 50th birthday dinner. We had reservation for 6pm and we got there alot earlier for cocktails.. at the bar, the bar was full so we got to sit at our reserved table for 12 early even thou it was half the party! Carlos was excellent in taking care of us! Thank you for a memorable night Pic-Nic! Oh and they didn't even mind we bought in our own bday cakes!
