Went on a Sunday in December for a family member's birthday lunch (we were 5). Due to the short notice of our decision we didn't have time to phone in and make a reservation, but perhaps we should've because the place was packing until 3pm 😐 ! We were put in a waiting list and I believe we waited for longer than a hour. Unfortunate.
Alas, the serving portions were generous. Individual servings for "choco frito" (Setúbal's delicacy, try it!! 😋) were 14€ and two-servings were 22€, salads are charged extra, but not fries which, honestly, despite what the pictures may translate to, weren't crispy and fried as I would've liked.
Instead the fries were this weird unfrozen-boiled-maybe-microwaved kind of thing. 😩 I mean they weren't bad, but it's eirher a restaurant or a supplier kind of issue. Drinks are also a bit on the expensive side, and beware some of the bottled wine options as not all are a bargain at 10€ as they seem.
Since I didn't try any other dish on the table I can't speak for them, but I heard no complaints. They were "Lulas Grelhadas".
Overall, despite the waiting time, a bit of noise in the premises (as other local restaurants, really), forgetting an item we ordered, the fries and some jacked-up pricing on beverages, I would return again for the "choco frito". It's really, really good and very well fried.
(for reference: we were 5 people and payed around 80€'ish for it all, no desserts and only coffees).

My apologies to any Native Portuguese that hear this .....but I'm coming along slowly. 😂 Everyone, go to "Restaurant Miami". (I'm having trouble tagging them on Facebook) This place is EXACTLY what Portugal Street Food is meant to be and it's three minutes from My house at Praça Fonte Nova. I had fresh cider on tap, olives, bread, amazing fish grilled over charcoal & wood, potatoes, and coffee for dessert. Everyone was super and Carla is a five star personality anywhere in the world. She's bilingual but has decided to force Me to only speak Portuguese. 😂
€17.00. Insanely Great Deal

We 4 had an excellent meal. The portions were generous. A large salad for all of us was only 5€ although we didn't explicitly order it and it was an extra charge. I'm not giving it 5* because the frites were not wonderful. But I'll definitely be returning. The server was very nice and helpful. Cost for 4 pp 70€.
Our regular 'go to' place for fresh fish cooked well, outside. The waiting staff are great and its like visiting a family for lunch. Happy times!

A big disappointment, quality of service, food all left a lot to be desired given the star-rating. Everything had been pre- sliced so the cheese and charcuterie were a bit dry. The bread also, pre-sliced and put in a plastic bag -- which helps the bread stale faster.
Lackluster performance. Maybe it was the heat of the day.

Free of foppish fashion. Straight to the earth honest food. The best there is for your money. Real food for real people. A must. The chief cook is Susana, 5th generation Setubalense, her daughter, Carla, is one of the best restaurants managers in the entire city. If you want real food and real grilled fish this is the palace to go. A must. I never give 5 stars. But this time, I make an exception. It excellent. The salad alone is worth the money!

Scam !!!
Food was good and tasty.
Waiter try to trick us with the bill.
1. It was not possible to read the handwrite bill and whats on it.
2. After he explained, he added bread, beers in total for 10€ which we didnt received or ordered.
3. After calculate verything together, what was on the menu it should be 60,70 but the sum was 70.20€. He just added a random amount to make more profit of tourist/non speaking people.
So in total he try to trick us for around 20€. Be careful !!!
