What Melissa Zulauf likes about Craven Bbq:
One of my favorite Portuguese BBQ spots in the area has to be this place, especially for its great value weekday lunch specials! I absolutely love their BBQ rib and chicken combo, where you can choose between half or whole portions and get a generous serving size for a reasonable price. The restaurant is conveniently located near the city center, and I have both dined in and ordered takeout from there. While the plac... View all feedback. What Jarod Gutkowski doesn't like about Craven Bbq:
Food is delicious when it's fresh, otherwise if you get old chicken you might as well throw it out. Yes, I've had frango more than enough times to know when it's not fresh.

Craven BBQ offers a mixed experience, with some patrons praising the flavors and value of their Portuguese BBQ, particularly the Portuguese sausage and chicken and ribs combo. However, inconsistencies in food quality, such as overcooked or stale meats, have been noted, alongside lengthy wait times for orders. While some diners rave about the freshness and taste, others recount disappointments that suggest a need for improvement in both food consistency and customer service. Despite these challenges, its weekday lunch specials and convenient location continue to attract customers, making it a popular choice for those willing to take the risk.
