What a hidden gem, the whole chicken might have been the best grilled chicken I’ve ever eaten, the paelha was delicious, as were the clams in wine with garlic and lingica. Don’t miss the desserts in the fridge or the wall of breads and cookies fresh made.

such a great place to eat. Delicious meals.

Authentic as it gets. Feels like I’m back home. Never had a bad meal. The grilled whole chicken, pork, and octopus are some of the best near Boston.

Best Portuguese food around. I've been going there since 2001. Linguisa sub is the best around. Also a great place to go for dinner.

I am a huge fan of family owned restaurants. Sad to say that J and J was a total disappointment this weekend. For years I have supported this establishment through take out and holiday catering. I ordered the seafood platter and asked for no coleslaw, and yes my order came with it. To make things even worse, my platter literally had two heavily battered fried shrimp and six peanut sized calamari that I did not even bother touching. So if you happen to order this plate definitely check it before you decide to walk out.

Always tasteful. If you want a good and tasty portuguese food this is the right place.

Once a month we drive all the way from Manchester nh just to have the Portuguese food ? ? ? highly recommend ? ?

Good sandwiches!

Amazing restaurant, amazing owners! The food is like nothing else I’ve ever seen around Massachusetts. Tons of places with this type of BBQ chicken in Portugal.. I was so glad to find out about J&J restaurant to get a little taste of Portugal. The owners truly seem to care to please their customers, which is hard to find nowadays.Muito obrigado!!

Awsome food
