“ Ohhh picnic has been around for along time and I’ve been coming here forever! Carlos the waiter is the best in service!!! The food here is always good. I got the picnic beef, which was amazing! ”
“ We had our 2nd event here at Picnic and the staff was amazing just as the first time we were here 5 years ago. We dealt with Carlos who did a great job with communication and making my little girls communion day a great one. They are very accommodating and exceeded my expectations. Will definitely return. ”
“ My dad first put me on this restaurant by its delicious, fresh takeout food. We'd typically order octopus or whole fish. My parents decided to take us out for our birthday and it was not a disappointment. I felt like I was in Portugal without actually traveling there and it's a home away from home from the moment you walk in. Everyone ordered different entrees and each dish offered a unique, top-quality taste. If you're looking for an authentic Portuguese spot in the Hudson County area, Pic-Nic is your go-to! ”
“ We have been coming here for years, but usually for take out. The food is fantastic. It’s the perfect spot because kids and adults love the food. I had the occasion to take my kids and several of their friends out to lunch so off we went to Picnic- myself and 8 children. Picnic put us in a private room. They brought out the food lightning fast. The kids loved their fries and fresh chicken nuggets and pasta with butter. My salad and soup were delicious. But really the service is what makes the experience top notch. They checked on us quite often to make sure we had everything we needed. When my son got a splinter, I asked if they happened to have a needle or a safety pin and they didn’t. Instead of leaving it there, they went above and beyond and sent someone out to buy a sewing kit so I could remove the splinter. I was going to come back for the food but now I will come back because they pulled out all of the stops to make us feel welcomed and at home. Thank you so much! ”
“ This place was absolutely amazing. The ambience and the service was absolute perfection. Carlos took really good care of us, and insured that we were taken care of accordingly, regardless of how many tables he had to manage. The food was absolutely outstanding. I would definitely come here again and recommend to my friends. Thank you for an amazing experience! ”
