Portuguese Restaurants near Carteret, NJ

“We went to the Chateau 7/13 for our Granddaughter's birthday. I had mentioned it was her birthday. We had a delicious dinner with sangria. After dinner one of the waiters along with a waitress came over with a Birthday dessert w/candle and even sang Happy Birthday. After we finished the waiter Paulo came back with a glass of Port Wine to finish off the meal. He was very personable.“

“First time here and I loved it. Food was great and so was the service. Definitely coming back.“

“Excellent food and the exceptional service given by the waitresses Lucy with her friendliness and attention to all customers“

“It was my 1st time trying this spot out! I celebrated my birthday and anniversary! My server name was “MO” I believe it was short for Monique! She was pleasant, tentative, respectful, friendly, polite and patient! My wife and I definitely appreciated the service she provided us! My only issue was the fact that open table has an option for you to put what your occasion is and the restaurant didn't honor it. However after speaking to the manager he did accommodate us in someway for the inconvenience. ! I would definitely come back here as it was a great experience overall!!! Great ambience! And the food was truly amazing! 🔥🔥🔥10/10 for us!“

“We were driving through and stumbled upon this gem!! Delicious fish- we had sol and salmon, and an excellent sangria. Wait staff was wonderfully accommodating of our toddler, and very friendly. If we are ever back in the area, will stop by!“

“Fernandes Steakhouse III – A Carnivore’s Paradise If you're searching for a dining experience that blends indulgence with authentic Brazilian flair, look no further than Fernandes Steakhouse III. Nestled in a cozy yet vibrant setting, this gem offers a Rodizio-style dining adventure that redefines what it means to eat out. From the moment we were seated, the atmosphere buzzed with energy — a mix of sizzling meats, clinking glasses, and the rhythmic flow of gaucho servers weaving through tables with skewers in hand. The Rodizio special is the star of the show: an all-you-can-eat feast where expertly grilled meats are carved tableside, offering both spectacle and satisfaction. Each cut was a showcase of flavor. Juicy picanha (top sirloin cap) came seared to your perfection, with a rich, buttery texture that melted in the mouth. The beef cheesesteak was lightly seasoned, oozing with cheese, while the lamb chops were tender and herbaceous — a standout that had our table eagerly waiting for seconds. Sausages, bacon-wrapped filet mignon, chicken wings, and pork ribs, each bite telling a different story of smoke, spice, and succulence. Equally impressive was the curated sides, rice, fries, crisp hearts of palm, vinegary cucumber salad, and warm bread provided balance and brightness to the meat-forward menu. The feijoada (black bean stew) and fried plantains added a comforting, home-cooked dimension. Service was swift and attentive without ever feeling rushed. The staff ensured our plates were never empty, and our preferences for doneness were always met with a smile. Whether you’re a seasoned Rodizio enthusiast or a first-timer looking to elevate your dinner plans, Fernandes Steakhouse III delivers a flavorful journey worth every bite — and every return visit. Final Verdict: Atmosphere: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5 Food Quality: 5/5 Value: 4.5/5 Overall Rating: 4.8/5 – A must-visit for meat lovers and food adventurers alike.“

“Exceptional.....if ur lucky enuff to find parking...ur lucky enuff“

“Great neighborhood Portuguese restaurant. The place is small and sometimes there is a wait but it's worth the wait. The food is delicious and consistent. The sangria is great and a must-have with anything you order. The service on this particular day was slow, but the staff is young, so have some patience. Takeout is also very popular so you know the secret is out...this place has great food!“

“Dinner was great. First timers. We had shrimp in garlic appetizer, combo with 1/2 chicken and ribs-pork, rice and fries. And 1/2 chicken with rice and veggies. Everything was of good quality and very delicious. We’d order from you guys again. Thank you for a wonderful dinner!“

“Had the combo mixed grill ,everything was amazing and plenty of food. I recommend this place very highly.“

“The Best Staff, a staple of the community. Beautiful restaurant and Who doesn't love Portuguese and their food!!!!“

“Best BBq for your buck, seasoning is on point. Only only bad thing is if your dining in, since there is no ac you will be very uncomfortable and sweat while you eat which no one wants. Foods amazing, staff is great, just too hot to dine in the summer. In the spring, fall, and winter it's chill just don't recommend eating there in the summer. Please go thought and get take out.

Parking: There's only a few, about 4 spots to park around the restaurant, if those are taken which usually are you must park blocks down the road.“

“Excellent food and service,I got breakfast,lunch and dinner…I am a truck driver and have a busy schedule,so I decided to give this place a shot…can’t wait to come back and try other things.

Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian options,they can make a vege burrito or sandwich.

Kid-friendliness: Kids can sit and eat“

“One of the Best hole in the wall places, with the BEST tasting chicken I've ever had.
Would drive for miles to go there. And usually my first stop when arriving to Newark Airport. I suggest you call in your order ahead to avoid wait time. Limited self service seating, so takeout is preferable.“

“This is my first time eating Portuguese food and I must say that I had a very good experience with them. The flounder with the spanish rice and sauteed veggies were on point! I also had the chourito and camarno which is sausage and shrimp in a garlicky hot sauce which was divine! the espresso was a nice finish to the meal. I highly recommend trying it out. André our server was very nice and attentive and the chef and everyone cooked the food to perfection. Give Algarve a try!“

“One of the best places to eat in Metuchen nj. The food and service is excellent I have travelled from NYC many times just to eat there.

Kid-friendliness: The people working in there are very nice and patient with the kids and many times bring extra things for kids.

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs and door for the Resturant and bathroom are big enough for handicap people.“

“Food is always good to excellent. Good hard working regulars always say hello; many have become good friends. The Portuguese " Cheers" kind of sums it up. Karokee on a Friday or Saturday brings a mix of music from people who just love to sing and to be around good people.“

“Everything was delicious. Food was fresh, warm, hearty, savory and satisfying. Great service! Comfortable atmosphere. A great option for family meals, when unable or unwilling to cook at home. 😁 Good sized portions. I had the Chicken in Garlic Sauce with rice and beans. My friend has the BBQ Ribs and Chicken with Rice, Cabbage and Boiled Potatoes. This spot has been added to my weekly meal rotation.“
