Fernandes' Night Club - Newark

What makes this place good was the amazing staff! Food other than the Rodizio was just ok as we had two other seafood and pasta in cream sauce. Go with the delicious Rodizio it was just delicious and not too salty. Beef and pork ribs, strip steak, sirloin, chicken, shrimp, sausage, and meats... I don't remember what they called. Flan for dessert. Did I mention the excellent staff? this is in the old Iberia location and cool castle like feel. Back next time, I am in town.

Fernandes Steakhouse has become my go-to spot for rodizio, and it consistently earns its four-star rating. While I can't speak to the full extent of their menu, I can attest that their rodizio experience is unparalleled in the area. The waiting staff deserves special recognition for their excellent service. Not only are they efficient and attentive, but they also bring a fun and friendly attitude to the table, enhancing the overall dining experience. One of the standout features of Fernandes Steakhouse is its fair pricing. Despite offering high-quality rodizio, the prices remain reasonable, making it accessible to a wide range of diners. In summary, if you're craving a delicious rodizio experience served with a side of great service and fair prices, Fernandes Steakhouse is the place to be. While I can't comment on their full menu, their rodizio alone makes it a top choice in the area.

You are in for a treat whether you make this an occasion place (I always come here for my birthday at a minimum), or just want to explore the best darn rodizio lineup Newark has to offer, and that is saying something given that Newark has many options from which to choose on the Brazilian/Portuguese front. This place is MASSIVE, beautifully and thoughtfully decorated. You get the feeling that whoever designed it had an unlimited budget and free reign creatively. They spared no expense to make you feel like you are walking into a whole different world, even when you just walk in. You'll walk through many doors, adding to the mystery, and then before you are seated, you will notice the meat display in the waiting area. Nice touch, gets the appetite going! All of their steaks, and really any of the meats in general are going to be good. On this particular night, we tried the fish, lamb, beef, beef ribs, and I of course got the rodizio option which included sausage, pork, beef rib, and the best of all ... picanha (cap steak)! If you've never had cap steak, it is the king of all cuts. It melts in your mouth. Don't cut the fat off, it melts in your mouth like butter, and mixes in with the meat and salt flavors like a rush of flavor into your mouth. NEVER gets old! Whether you wind up downstairs or upstairs, you will be sure to get excellent service and food. Don't hesitate to try the Sangria, it is excellent, as is their selection of Portuguese and Spanish wines. We polished it off with some flan, then visited the bartender for our after dinner drinks. Don't forget to tip your rodizio crew, there is a separate box near the open kitchen, where you get to watch them perform their art. Don't be surprised if you see me there, staring at the meats.

Good experience. Good service. Not too busy at 7pm on a Friday but definitely picked up by 8pm. Lots of fun decor all over the restaurant. I went with the all you can eat BBQ. Lots of choices with the rotations. I'm lost with all the beef, chicken, pork, and shrimp options. Lots of choices! The roasted pineapple with cinnamon dessert was a highlight. Sadly, some of the options were over-grilled and some a little dry. It might have been because I got there when there weren't many people? It was a solid 3*. Give them a try and tell me what you think.

4.5 if I could. Saturday night, made a reservation. Valet parking is clutch. Not too busy but good energy! Service was great, full bar. Really enjoyed my white sangria. 3 of us got rodizio, but I got an order of garlic shrimp to start it was really good and then the rack of lamb. I give them credit for pacing the rodizio around my meal. Good selections for the rodizio, and it comes with plenty of sides. Got a coconut sorbet and caramel cheesecake for dessert. We left full and happy!!
