Hamburgao

I had the chicken sandwich and it was horrible. It tasted like rubber. It didn’t taste fresh at all and it tasted like it wasn’t defrosted properly. I have only given a rating of 1 star once before and that was at a takeout place where I waited for an hour. The service here was fine but the food was at best, horrible, and at worst, unsafe for consumption.

Excellent spot for Brazilian junk food.
1) I got the Coxinha, which is a seasoned chicken and cheese balls. It is a MUST get.
2) I got the hamburgao picanha — excellent. I recommend everyone get that.
3) Only down side is the service, kinda sucks. But the food and price makes up for it.

THIS PLACE IS THE MOST DISGUSTING PLACE I HAVE EVER BEEN TO!
alright listen up, these assholes are dirty. You go in there nothing is sweeped, tables aren’t cleaned off. This place does not deserve a star.
Last time I ate from here i had TWO HAIRS AND A FUCKING BOOGER ON MY HAMBURGER. YES a BOOGER, the thing that comes out of your nose.
I felt sick for two days after eating there. OH and to TOP IT OFF, when i called to complain i did not receive one apology, i got yelled at, and no refund for my food. They were arrogant and had no remorse.
Lord knows what goes on in this place I do not recommend this place, not even to my worst enemy.
I tried being their customer for many years since they opened up there, but enough is enough.
Do not even bother going to the Newark branch either because they are just as dirty and rude.
You were warned!

Horrible they take more than hour to deliver food. When I received it, food was was cold when I asked for my money back i and i would give the food untouched they refused, never coming back again. Very rude staff save your money go somewhere else.

This is an awesome place to come for when you’re craving fast food, but not necessarily low quality. They’re fast and quite unique. I recommend the shakes as well, especially with condensed milk. Their burgers are huge and so good. I especially like the picanha one, which is steak. Just be prepared to use many napkins!

Tried this place again after years of not going in. Ordered the kids cheeseburger and the turkey with mozzarella on wheat bread. The cheeseburger reminded me of what they served in elementary school: bland, gross. And the other was just okay, the cheese tasted a bit weird so I couldn’t finish it. The fried mozzarella empanadas were the only redeeming food. If I do come back I know what I won’t order.

The best hamburgers in town, made with traditional Brazilian picanha !!! The best!

Good grilled chicken salad. I love the Brazilian finger foods, prices are good.

If you like mayo, then you just might like this place. I ordered the regular hamburger and basically got a mayo burger in a huge roll with a thin beef patty, bits of corn, potato sticks (which I think is a cool concept), and the usual lettuce and tomato. I couldn’t even finish it because I was so grossed out by the 4^th bite. The fries were okay but not spectacular. I was mildly disappointed since I heard a lot of good reviews about this place. I would give it a second try and order something different off the menu.

Someone I know recommended this place so I stopped by for lunch on a Sunday… Well, I will not stop by again. The food was Meh! The bread was dry and steak (Steak Sandwich) was fatty as hell. It was like chewing on a gob of Fat for an hour just to swallow it. I actually had to spit out a few bites. Gross! I did like the idea of potato sticks and corn in the sandwich… It’s a nice texture thing and hides the Fatty meat taste.
My girl, who is a foodie and I’ve never heard her complain about food… EVER, thought the food sucked here too! When I heard her say that, it confirmed my experience… I’m a bit of a picky eater.
I ordered a few Coconut balls to go, and ate them in the car ride home… BLAH! Dry Ass Coconut Balls is what they should call them.
Well, I think you get the point…

Not sure why it was so DIFFICULT for the waitress to get our order correct. My cousin and I came back from a Red Bulls game and all they did was basically mock and stare at us. Either way we are giving them business and the least they could do was get our orders right. Food was alright, service was MEH. I WOULD not recommend this location unless your seriously drunk or super hungry. I would prefer Altas Horas 1,000 times more.

Brazilian style burger is too good to be true! This is a very local store located near Newark NJ, the store is a orange-​colored diner-​like casual eatery that serves Brazilian burgers.
Hamburgao offers grilled steak/​chicken burgers and regular hamburgers, what’s special about Brazilian burger is that they add ham/​fried egg/​corn and potato sticks in them. The ham and egg makes it taste a lot like a Taiwanese breakfast hamburger, and the corn and potato sticks adds flavor and texture to every juicy bite. The buns are lightly toasted, crispy on the outside but fluffy on the inside. LAST, the additional thousand island style mayo sauce fuses all ingredients together marvelously.
Price is very friendly considering the enormous portion, I could barely finish a whole burger with no sides, whereas girls usually cut the burgers in half. They also offer freshly made juice so you won’t feel too guilty after the hearty meal!

I could not have been more disappointed with hamburgao. Since seeing it on Food Network back in the day, I thought it looked like an interesting take on a classic. Sadly, they did not deliver. The burger is an extremely thin, dry patty with no seasoning at all. There is seriously no flavor. I had higher quality patties in my high school cafeteria than what they’re rolling out here. Potato sticks on the burger is welcome, but they are not nearly enough to save this mess. Plus they only add to the dryness. They will douse it in mayo and secret sauce to add some moisture, but there is no saving a burger this dry and flavorless. So much disappointment.
On top of the bad food, the people who work here give new definition to the term dense. We ordered 2 cheeseburgers, one hamburger. At the end she repeated the order back (this was placed over the phone). Completely wrong. It took her 6 tries to get it right, even though we kept repeating it. She kept interrupting before the extremely simple and straight forward order was complete. Then they are sooo slow and disorganized inside. I was shocked we got the right food at all. Meh, forget this noise.

Brazilian style burgers loaded with toppings! Ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato, egg and potato sticks with a house sauce. My favorite is the hamburgao beef or chicken. They are consistent. When my friend visits from Philly he always makes sure he gets one. They also deliver.

Wow! Customer Service is bad! First ordered and picked up only to get home and not have full order. Called and spoke to manager who took info and phone number and said would replace items for free on next visit. Well went in and ordered items that I paid for and didn’t get well… no such luck in finding any info and they took like 20 mins to discuss issue. I was like really??? Walked out. They talk in there own language with backs to you and are like nope sorry we have nothing. I walked out and will never be back again.

Definitely a place for a quick pick up. Don’t get me wrong the burger was good but the service was hectic and forgetful. Asked for a pineapple juice and then I waited like 20 minutes and had to ask again in order to get it. Then I asked for no mayo on my burger. Then magically the sandwich came clearly with mayo! Sometimes forgetting to put no mayo on my sandwich can be a deal breaker. Luckily they made it work and burger was still good with the mayo. Then to top it all off, my friend almost got charged twice for one soda!
On the plus side it was a pretty damn good burger! I loved the fact that they top their burgers with potato sticks. It’s an interesting twist. The fries I remember being good as well. I was also diggin the hot sauce. Also the pineapple juice was worth the wait!
All in all don’t get me wrong, I loved the food but I wouldn’t dine in there again. I would just place an order for pick up and be on my way. Maybe the one in Newark has better dine in options but haven’t been there yet so I don’t know.

I give this place 3 stars only because the service was so bad. Lady messed up pretty much our entire order. forgot my drink. .brought. my friend the wrong sandwich. Then they over charged me because they thought i forgot to pay for my beverage. A mess! BUT the food was good. I ordered this hot dog that was topped with mayo, corn, grated cheese and potato sticks… it was very interesting. Maybe next time ill try the Newark location.

Terrible service. our orders were getting messed up. service was slow. drinks werent brought over to us even after we ordered them. my friend even got charged twice for a snapple. took forever for the food.
however, there are some positives here. the cheese empanadas were okay, the tilapia sandwhich was filling but the fish itself was over cooked. the pineapple juice is amazing, you must get this. the fries are good and crunchy, and lastly the hotdog – is a must get too. my friend said it was delish and it was extemely filling.

Humongous burger, what a great value! Definitely share this or cut it in half unless you have a big appetite! Love the potato sticks in their burgers, fun element of surprise.
The peanut and coconut balls are soo good! Taste very fresh.
Kibbeh is delicious, highly recommend it! Palm Hearts tart is delicious I didn’t know what to expect but it is similar to a tiny quiche.
Overall you cannot go wrong with the place, great food! Only complaint was the Maracuya in water drink was extremely bitter and I had to keep watering it down.
We’ll be back again!!!

I was on my way to Altas Horas last night, but then I saw this place.
Turns out it’s another Brazilian style burger joint, except it’s closer. It’s a part of a chain, with 2 other locations in Newark. It is much more spacious than Altas Horas, but they’re only open til midnight and they’re a little bit more expensive.
But the important thing is the food, and I picked up a chicken ball and a cheese tudo. The cheese tudo consists of a burger, ham, fried egg, corn, potato sticks, lettuce, tomato and mayo. The bun here is structurally better than the sweet bread bun they use at Altas Horas, actually the whole sandwich is better put together, it was not falling apart from its massive size. But the sandwich was also pretty dry. Could have used more corn/​mayo mix and the egg over easy. The sandwiches from Altas Horas are clearly juicier, I can see the juices from the meats dripping onto my fingers and plate.
The chicken ball, I didn’t like too much. Wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was basically chicken salad minus mayo in a fried ball of dough. Kinda dry.
I’d hit this place in a pinch, but i prefer my usual spot, which is open 24 hours anyway.
