Fernandes' Night Club - Newark

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!!

Very clean and rustic style steakhouse...felt like I was in Aspen or some lodge which was cool. The people were all extra friendly which completed the overall vibe. Sausage appetizer this was good but too much for 2 people to share. Do this family style. Shrimp appetizer really good tasty buttery shrimp Lunch special meat plate (sorry forgot what it was called) this was a plate of three different meats, picanha, ribeye and some other meat that basically was great but put me into a food coma. I would come for dinner as you don't want to do much after having access to this much meat! Highly advise to come here!

Fernandes Steakhouse remains a perennial favorite for me, suitable for any occasion. The abundance of meat choices on their Brazilian-style menu ensures a continuous and satisfying experience. The age-old advice of coming empty and leaving full holds true, as I've experienced over the many years of visiting. While the temptation of rice or bread is ever-present, it's a testament to the irresistible quality of their offerings. The seafood menu is a hidden gem that pleasantly surprises, showcasing the culinary excellence of the establishment. Despite being consistently well-staffed and often packed, the service remains consistently on point. While walk-ins are possible, making a reservation is advisable to secure your spot in this culinary haven. Enjoy the experience!

Super extensive menu and super friendly staff Downside is definitely their tiny parking lot. They really cram people in there. I had the 16 Oz filet with shrimp. I ordered it medium. Portion sizes are large. They also have a super extensive dessert menu (like I'm talking at least 20 options). For large parties they do NOT do separate checks but are able to run multiple cards. Others in my group ordered different steaks and pasta dishes. All appeared to be super satisfied with their choices.
