Excellent service and meals for our party of 12!! Staff sang happy birthday and sounded like professionals! Very accommodating to our party! Highly recommended read more

Great food and drinks! I came for the lobster dinner special I see advertised on the building every day I drive by. It did not disappoint. My 2 lobsters were delicious and a great deal for $30. My friends enjoyed the prime rib and surf and turf too. My cosmo martini was excellent and my friend thought the expresso martini was great. Also the service was fast and friendly. Overall, a great local spot! read more

Food was good but the menu has changed. We used to get a mixed grill of all that was on the Radizio but not unlimited but it's no longer available which means going for the radizio or picking from the menu an item. Also they no longer have a salad bar so what was included before you now have to order separately. Service is still very good with helpful servers. We sat very close to the bar which had the bar patrons backing into us. read more

Great place for Easter dinner. Place was very busy so good to have reservations. We were a party of 9 and they had our table ready when we arrived. Most ordered the rodizio that looked delicious - counted over 15 variety of meats. I had the vaca ribs and it was deliciously served with risotto. Ended the evening ordering from a variety of desserts. The blueberry crème brûlée hit the spot. Service was outstanding. Portions are big so go with a hearty appetite! read more

Was in the area and wanted to try something different . I decided to call ahead of time because I had some questions . We get in and the bartender barely spoke English , so it was a little difficult to communicate , asked if he had flavored caipirinhas and he said just the traditional one , I asked for one and it was honestly plain cachaca , there was absolutely NOTHING ELSE on that drink , took me a whole hour to finish . To then find out someone else could actually make a flavored one which was way better . He wasn't very knowledgeable of the menu either and had no answer to our questions . The food was ok , but the choice of sides is basically non existent. So I can't say it was great food because it had nothing to go with it , not exactly what you expect from a steakhouse . The vibe was blah , in all honesty there was just one staff member who was somewhat helpful , everyone else just stands around . I must say this was a disappointing experience , I expected way better from a steakhouse read more

Are you into protein diet? Well, Fernandes Steakhouse in South Amboy offers in their menu their delicious rodizio. It's an unlimited rounds of meats - beef, pork, chicken, seafoods, etc. Most are good but some are a bit dry. Nice to pair the rodizio with a glass of wine. The service was great, the ambiance is cozy and elegant. A bit pricey for the nice service. Parking is a bit tough during weekends due to limited slots available. This place is highly recommended for all meat loving individuals. It's the best place that fits for you guys. read more

I just moved into the area and was looking for a spot for dinner. I had been to their other location and decided to try them out. From the minute you walk in, you're treated like family. I was escorted to my table and asked exactly what I wanted immediately. I had a cocktail in my hand within minutes and it was perfection. I told my server that I wanted their Wagyu ribeye but also some lobster. They made it happen for me. The picture speaks for itself! It was sensational!!! I will definitely be a regular!! Impeccable service and food!! read more

Fernandes Steakhouse lll - Wagyu ribeye and lobster tail - Portuguese Near Me - South Amboy, New Jersey

Fathers day dinner. 630pm reservation. Best part of the night was parking attendant who held a spot for us that was about to be taken by another guest. 650pm seating. One "specially priced" father's day menu, no drinks menu given, no clue to what sides come with entrees. No waiter to ask questions 700pm drinks go to another table. 710pm waiter comes to take order. 715pm waiter asks if we want appetisers because orders will take 40-45min. No cellular service where we sat. Waiters kept bumping into our chairs as they passed by. 755pm entrees arrive. Two wagyu ribeyes, two lobster tails, one filet mignon. No water refills or check in. 820pm finally catch waiter for water. Half the room is empty now. 830pm asked for desert menu, got check instead. 840pm still no desert. Table near us got their desert and finished it. Other waiter said sorry its been busy night. As we leave it suddenly becomes important waiter gets us free dessert to go and makes it happen in minutes. $300 dinner. Parking lot mostly empty now. Never going back. read more

The service is great. From the host to the bartender to the servers walking by. Not over bearing but spot on! The lighting is dim, but it's a casual atmosphere. We had a good array of food. Appetizers: Calamari (fried) 2 sauces. I loved the sauce they served which I never had before. Dod not try the marinara. Second appy: clams in green sauce. Outstanding! Consistency and flavor. Dinner: My daughter in law & I split Chilean sea bass that came with vegetables and saffron rice. The sea bass was a bit salty. The rice and veggies were spot on. The chips were great too! Not soggy. The green sauce was fantastic. Had the shrimp and green sauce as well as clams in green sauce. My son and my honey split 4 lobster tails and a rib eye steak (rated it a 4 out of 5). They cleaned their plates though. Lol. We will definitely be back. read more

Food always tasty. Nice looking restaurant and service has been great. I've had salad and steak and I to always been delicious.

Pretty solid dining restaurant, the kind of quality that just doesn't exist in most other restaurants. My first time here, and stayed with the classic choices of Sangria and Rodizio. We were fed like Kings and Queens by the restaurant. The parking lot and restaurant is tight/cramped. Sort of noisy. Service anticipates your needs and is spot on. read more

Reserved a table and waited an hour. Then they shoved us in a freezing back corner with no space for service. The rodizio came out raw -- sent back multiple times -- and still had zero seasoning. Dirty cups and utensils were brushed off with a "yeah, and?" response. $55 for this disaster is a complete scam. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere that actually respects paying customers. read more

The Rodizio was heavy on us, many rounds with meats . The beef was good, the chicken wrapped in bacon a bit dry; overall it was a nice experience. Cozy place , good service . read more

Party of seven was easily accommodated. Staff seemed disconnected, had to keep calling them over for refills. They were working hard but for the amount of people they had dining it wasn't super busy. The person handling the rodízio was on top of it. On the inside it's not much to look at. First party to arrive and the restaurant was cold. Asked if we can sit in the other section inside, they said no. Asked if the heat was on, they said it was broken but later came on. Funky smell coming from downstairs near the restrooms. Appetizers were good. Main course rodízio hit or miss. From my first review, the bacon is still undercooked on the steak. The beans and rice were both uncooked and cold. The fries were cold. Fat gives flavor to meat but too much fat can ruin it. Some of the meat were not ready for the table, super rare, needed more time. Most of their items were cooked with too much smoke/flame, that ruins the taste of the meat. In my opinion, the flank steak tasted like it was reheated. read more

If you come to the bar -- ask for Carlos because he's the best. Attentive, always asking if you need a mat for food, accommodatung the drinks, and his sangria glasses A.K.A. fishbowls are the best thing in the area. Now on to the food, my favorite has to be the green sauce because it goes with anything and everything, especially the clams and shrimp. The calamari was good, and so are the filetes. We look forward to trying more seafood and definitely the paella. The ambiance is like home, they attend right away and accommodate area at the bar for you if it gets too full. The parking is limited, but very seldom. Looking forward to coming again. read more

Went for the 1st time. Excellent food & service Will definitely go back - is a place you really need a reservation because they have a lot of customers read more

I've been here numerous times, but that was when it was new and fresh. It's been a while since I came here, but we did last night! It's off of 35. The location is very awkward. Parking lot is not big and when it gets filled the cars unfortunately spill into the neighbor. The building looks tired - it needs a facelift. Walking in the Decor is outdated, it felt crowded because of all the tables, seemed like there was a lot more people working that actual diners. Now, everyone was very nice and hospitable! Our waiter was very attentive which I always appreciate! We ordered clams casino for an app. Got rodizio for dinner. We ordered paella to take home. Portions are big! Our paella was in a pan! Everything tasted pretty good! Wasn't a fan of the rodizio fish. It was too salty and veryyyy rubbery. Rodizio on a Wednesday is about 55pp. It's also seafood night! I believe it's half off? Not a bad place to go though! We'll be back! read more

An excellent afternoon at Fernandes III today. Excellent lunch and dessert. The service was great and the dining room was elegant and comfortable. Thank you for a wonderful meal with my family. We will definitely be returning for another dining experience. Best regards, P. Nacionales read more

This restaurant is always a great idea. The nicest wait staff, amazing food and drinks and you really can't beat rodizio if you're hungry! For a set price, you can get rodizio where they bring you a seemingly endless variety of meat until you literally get the meat sweats and tell them to stop. They also have a ton of other great items on the menu. I highly recommend the stuffed avocado with shrimp and crab meet, the paella and the seafood tower. They also bring out a platter showcasing the different meats and desserts for you to try, The also have 4-5 different varieties of sangria pitchers all of which are delicious and discounted on Wednesdays! Keep in mind, all of this deliciousness does not come cheap however it's a great place for a nice date night or celebration. read more

Fernández Steakhouse III is the perfect spot for a family dinner for a large group. I've been here multiple times for celebratory dinners with a group of 12+ and the staff never bats an eye. They easily accommodated our group and the servers enhance the experience with their hospitality. During our latest visit, we were celebrating my husband's birthday and our server remembered us from our last visit. We all ordered appetizers, pitchers of sangria and the rodizio. I highly recommend the rodizio so you get to try different cuts of meat fresh off the fire grill. So yummy! The dessert presentation is incredible. The options are plenty but I recommend the espresso creme brûlée. This restaurant does a great job of making you feel like you're having a big dinner at home. I will continue to come here for large dinners. read more

This was our family's secound time at Rodeio. Food, drinks, and service are always very good. Unfortunately today we had a very upsetting experience, as we entered the building and was ready to get sat...the hostess goes "and we have a handicap." My entire family's jaw drops in shock, I who has been dealing with a lot of medical issues began to cry. With no apology the hostess states "it was a joke" Thankfully my family isn't crazy but that was extremely unesscary as there's no upstairs level, and there's a bathroom on the first floor. I don't know if they meant that in a nice way to accommodate but pointing out someone's disability that way is NOT acceptable(especially to a child) Rodeio I am not thrilled... read more

This place is phenomenal. I got the ribeye with grilled shrimp on the Terra cotta tile. Steak was cooked to perfection but they cut it up so it began to cook even quicker and cooked a little too much for my liking but regardless it was still a great steak. Another person ordered stuffed shrimp with crab meat which also looked fire. You get 4 massive shrimp with a large lump of crab meat on rice. The service is great. Sangria fantastic. Would definitely come back here! read more

Ambiance/Vibe: The place was okay. The parking lot and entrance to the place are a little shabby but hopefully, they finished their renovations. Service: I did have reservations so it was easy to get in. The waiter was genuine about his recommendations since it was our first time having Brazilian food. Food/Drinks: Not a dessert person but my dad thinks that they tasted okay. I thoroughly enjoyed my steak dinner and the shrimp. Actually, everything was delicious & the drinks were delicious. I wish they had more signature drinks - they had a lot of wine choices. Side Note: For more photos and videos check out my foodie Instagram @hike4foodies read more

This place is not the same anymore. I was charged 78.00 dollars for 24 garlic shrimp and potato chips. No veggies no rice. I called and they was able to tell that there was a problem but didn't offer to fix it. He asked did I receive veggies and I said no. Then he said well that's the dinner. I guess I'll be heading back to Newark for now on. read more

I wish I could keep this place a secret. But I don't think that would be fair to everyone to miss out on an amazing meal. Not only is the service fantastic but the whole atmosphere is very warm and inviting. Everything that we ordered was top-notch and delicious. I think at one time we had like five people waiting on us. And we were only a party of four. We went there for my 40th anniversary. What a great memory. Looking forward to going back real soon. read more

Fernandez Steakhouse 3 continues to blow my mind with their menu and options. As unusual I get the rodizio because I like having multiple options. It's not just steak, when you order rodizio, it's all different types of meats such as chicken, pork, and lamb. They bring around shrimp and smoked mozzarella. You can't go wrong with the rodizio. It even comes with an appetizer. It's overall a fantastic value. Although, my family does order off the menu, and my goodness, the dishes look spectacular. It's like I'm experiencing the food network at my table. It's an outstanding steakhouse that exceeds all expectations. I recently had one of the newest dessert items, the chocolate chip cookie lava cake. It's a game changer, if you enjoy lava cakes this is a must try! Highly recommend for any occasion. 10 out of 10! read more
