Never had Brazilian cuisine before. This place popped up on Too good to go so I decided to try it. Very impressed. The rice had black beans + sauce and it was tasty. It came with delicious meat that was coming off the bone. The portions were generous and the staff were friendly. Definitely will be coming here in the future.

We have always eaten Dona Maria Clara's feijoada on Sundays for many years. Today I want to share the feijoada we brought home. It generously served three people. As always, it was delicious. The coxinha reminds us of Brazil, delicious! In addition to the feijoada, there was Gomes de Sá cod, roast beef, mashed potatoes and potatoes. I recommend it.

Fantastic Experience at Stop BBQ Chicken Inc! I had an outstanding meal at Stop BBQ Chicken Inc.! The staff were incredibly friendly and attentively accommodated my dietary needs due to high cholesterol. The chicken was delicious and the portions were generous. It's rare to find such caring service paired with great food. Highly recommended!

I’m not sure if I got duped after driving to the closest Portuguese Chicken shop while I was driving. But for $10 of half a chicken that is very small! Come on!!! It doesn’t even come with an authentic Portuguese hot sauce but rather a lousiana style hot sauce that Popeye’s normally give out. For an extra $3 you can get a whole Metro or Sobey’s Chicken. I have been to other Churassco chicken and it’s not even this expensive!

Great value for money!! $15 gives you basically two meals or one big one Take out place that changes the dishes up from day to day which is fun. Fried fish is so good. Chicken really good and crispy, little salty but not bad. Potatoes are great Etc..

August 10, 2022

I have been a regular customer for years, but today was my last time. $17 for a rotisserie chicken that can barely feed 2 it's so small, dry and salted to death! Then for a tiny hot sauce that has always been free it cost me $1. The price of pop is laughable at $3 for a can of 355ml. Worse they add taxes on top of that unless you pay cash. If I could I would give them negative stars. I'll walk over to Bairradinho on Lansdowne just north of Wallace, or even food basics. Only a few extra steps for better prices, quality and flavour. The pictures I added are just poured out the bag onto the plate, none eaten or handled.

Authentic Brazilian and Portuguese cuisine. Chef Clara and her female team cook with their hearts. Walking into the restaurant is like a visit to your grandma; a warm welcome followed by a fulfilling meal! The "salgados" or croquette snacks are some of the best comfort food out there, and weekends bring traditional dishes, like Feijoada for two!

Food not the greatest. Chicken was alittle salty but moist not dry. No potatoes available. Fries instead. No ketchup sent. White Rice bland with a few peas and carrots. Disappointed customer for the first time. Sauce should of at least been provided.

Very authentic Latin/Brazil food, especially for their black beans with Pork & Jerks. Luckily I tried their various food earlier from Toogoodtogo before the quality and quantity of the cheap comb decreased. I recommend their food with normal prices.

Unfortunately I had a bad experience ordering from this restaurant through Uber Eats. I just ordered feijoada and the feijoada that I got had almost no ingredients, just lots of bones and any meat only beans! And it didnt even come with the promised farofa! I was really craving good feijoada and chose this place, but now Im disappointed and wont order from here again.

The chicken was way too salty.. I also got it with white rice potatoes and the chicken salad. I felt like the rice was a bit too salty too. I paid 28 dollars for a full chicken and a medium side container. I thought it was expensive and but gave the place a chance, as it was my first time. But I was ultimately let down by the quality/freshness of the food.

Great experience! We went for the feijoada and end up having blast with Dona Rosa and everyone there! We felt like being at home in Brazil - I am from the countryside and seeing the garden/flowers/herbs (Horta) brought memories from my hometown and my grandma s house! Food is homemade, nothing fancy, but definitely comfy food with love

Best coxinha in town

December 22, 2020

Terrible delivery experience. Ordered through Skip (prompt delivery time) and not only did they mess up 1 of 2 side dishes, everything was ICE COLD. Not even room temperature... Cold to the touch! Their hot sauce is actually disgusting, and the rice had SO much vinegar in it for no real logical reason. It was like almost Japanese sushi rice, but also maybe couldve been a failed elementary school science experiment. In a neighbourhood where Portuguese chicken spots are available by the dozens, this place falls in dead last.

December 22, 2020

I honestly dont understand why and how this place is so highly rated. The food is bland and overpriced. Comfort food is a bit of an overstatement.

Brought the lunch special, BBQ chicken rice and potatoes. The rice was hard like old stale rice and the potatoes was dry and tasted like 2 days old and not seasoned well. The chicken was tasty but too dry as well. It was my first time trying this place and was very disappoint even though the reviews was 4.5 on fb.
