Cooked from the flame up
Fire Grill BBQ & Buffet sits on Newark Avenue in Journal Square — a corner of Jersey City where the food has always mattered more than the hype. We cook from the flame up, and we're glad you found us.
Fire Grill BBQ & BUFFET | Our Story
A Newark Avenue address
Journal Square is a no-nonsense neighborhood — diverse, unpretentious, and real. That's exactly the kind of place we wanted to open.
The Portuguese roots
The kitchen's heart is Portuguese — churrascaria steaks, saffron paella with mussels and shrimp, seafood done with salt and fire the way it's done back home. Not fusion. Just where we come from.
Everything runs through the grill
The cast-iron skillet arrives still sizzling — that's not theater, that's just how the food comes out when you don't rush it. Regulars tell us the cooking only gets stronger.
Come hungry, bring everyone
The all-you-can-eat buffet exists because a great meal should never feel rationed. Pile your plate with shellfish, steak, and paella — then stay for the live music.
The part guests keep mentioning
Review after review says the same thing: the staff makes you feel like you belong here. You either care or you don't — and the people here genuinely do.
