Stephanie's Barbecue

The chicken is GREAT! The beef ribs had to be torn off the bones!.. WHAT THE HECK!..HAD TO BAKE THEM ONCE WE GOT HOME.. THEY WERE TASTY THOUGH!

BEWARE OF THE WRITTEN RECEIPTS! The woman at the counter adds her own tax to each individual item. She charged $34.00 for the $31.00 Stephanie combo, and attributed the extra $3.00 as tax. They also charge $1.54 to use a credit card. There was a guy there.. who instructed her to return the fee. It was posted, but it sign was hidden behind the tip jar on the counter! There was also a hassle getting barbeque sauce that wasn't freezing cold, to put on our hot food! I asked for napkins.. she gave me one for each person!! I asked for to go trays she gave me one at time.. and the sheets of aluminum foil separately as well. SHE was VERY RUDE, as she returned the FEE, saying that it was a couple of cents.. YES 154 CENTS THAT BELONGED TO ME! Which leads me to believe that added her own tax and charging a couple of cents to each customer ..SHE MAKES OUT WELL AT THE END OF THE NIGHT! They DON'T have a key for the restroom .. I thought I made a mistake and locked the door ..because the person using it didn't answer a knock to the door.. so I asked for the key... Her response was.. I DON'T HAVE NO KEY!.. And finished doing what she was doing. Basically I am from NEWARK.. BUT I CAME TO HILLSIDE.. because professional service in the hood could be hit and miss.. and I THOUGHT it would be safer and a more professional place to take my Mom and Goddy... BUT it was a horrible experience for them!. GREAT CHICKEN.. BUT NOT TO BE CHEATED OUT OF MONEY AND TO BE TREATED AS A BOTHER.. RATHER THAN A PLEASURE TO SUPPORT THEIR BUSINESS.. ALGARVE RESTAURANT CHICKEN IS JUST AS GOOD... WITH PROFESSIONAL SERVICE! THIS WOMAN THINKS BECAUSE THEIR FOOD IS GOOD.. SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ACCOMMODATING! NEVER ONCE ASKED THROUGHOUT OUR MEAL.. DID WE NEED ANYTHING... NOT EVEN A DRINK OF WATER! NEVER AGAIN... WILL I PATRONAGE THIS ESTABLISHMENT... MAYBE I'LL TRY THE OTHER LOCATIONS!
