“ A little gem in the Quay!!! Authentic and delicious dishes prepared, cooked, and served by Rosemary (the owner) who hails from Long Island...she has made a great name for herself in our area and I highly recommend stopping by for a great meal!!! ”
“ Food was delicious. Fresh empanadas, fresh fries and delicious roasted chicken. The service was amazing- the waitress was attentive and gave us a free sample of the custard dessert. We were in and out in 45 mins and had a fresh, home cooked meal. ”
“ Amazing food. I would have to say, in my opinion, the best restaurant in Fuquay! The food was absolutely delicious and very flavorful. The chicken was incredibly tender and practically fell off the bone. I highly recommend this restaurant. You will not be disappointed. ”
“ Upon reading the reviews, I was delighted to discover that Portuguese cuisine was nearby! I was stationed near Portugal and enjoyed the food when I visited. Rose, the owner and chef, reminds me of home--she is funny, lively, and authentic. She is as enjoyable as the meals she creates. Since dining the first time, I returned twice in one week, then on at least a biweekly basis. My husband and family are hooked, too! The food is fresh, delicious, and affordable. While we repeatedly consumed the 1/4 dark chicken, beef pastry, green beans, cod fritters, and rice--we've only just begun--we plan to sample everything she offers. The staff is warm and professional. The atmosphere is simple, clean, and comfortable. Head to Little Portugal now! ”
“ This place is absolutely amazing! The owner, Rosemary, is awesome. I’ve been going to this hidden gem for about 3 years now and the food has been consistently amazing. Rosemary and her team make sure you are satisfied with your meal. Everything is good which makes it so hard to decide what to order. This time we ordered the Picadinho and Fried Codfish - Peixe Frito Sand. You can tell from the pictures we were more concerned with eating then taking photos for our review . Also, I want to make sure I state that I’m black and have never experienced any sort of racism here. Rosemary always shows great respect for all people regardless of their race or gender etc. This is by far one of my favorite spots in the area! ”
“ Fresh surprise here in Fuquay!! So delicious. Amazing flavors, very fresh food. We were so pleasantly surprised and happy that we decided to try someplace new! We will definitely be back! ”
“ Absolutely delicious! We ordered to go and sat at the bar while waiting and had a wonderful conversation with the owner. Kind owner and delicious food! Highly recommend the garlic shrimp with rice and green beans, cod sandwich with potato salad, and Rib eye sandwich. The dessert custards are a must!! ”
