I've lost count of how many times I've been here now, and each and every time, the food is excellent! We bring friends and family here, and they all end up returning over and over. The quality and consistency of the food, coupled with the great value + BYOB, makes this an unbeatable spot!

I can't recommend Fernandos highly enough! What a great. unassuming spot in Hightstown! We've been here dozens of times and have never had a bad meal. The prices are great, and the food is as consistent as any place I've ever been to. A true gem!
Menu is so uneventful. It wasn’t worth leaving home for. Food Selection is extremely limited and all the seafood is farm raised …
Local place that is very reasonable. The food is excellent, good menu choices. And you know it's good because it's always full of people eating. I had the salmon once, another time tuna steak (or was it mahi, I forget) anyway it was fabulous. The salmon has a crust to it, I don't know how they make that but it's excellent. The vegetables were fresh, presentation is inviting. We'll be back!

Charming and Cozy Dining Experience
This cozy restaurant has a quaint and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. We ordered medium-rare steaks, but they initially came out more medium-well. Fortunately, the server handled it promptly and professionally. The replacement steaks were perfect—nicely charred on the outside and beautifully red on the inside. Delicious and cooked just right.
Another plus: it’s BYOB, which makes the evening even more enjoyable and affordable.
Overall, a great experience. Would definitely recommend!

We stopped in for an early dinner. We had the chicken quesadilla, shrimp francese and pork medallions. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. Not to meant how reasonably priced, coupled with it being a BYOB! We will absolutely be back!!

Enjoyed our first visit. They are BYOB. Restaurant has a very family friendly feel. Our server Andrea was very sweet and helpful especially with recommendations for the great desserts. 🦐 crabmeat stuffed shrimp with lemon butter sauce was delectable as was the chicken Francese. Caesar salad has a nice light dressing with great flavor.

Such a cozy place to have a nice quiet meal with family. Scallops were cooked perfectly. The kids had filet mignon and loved it. And the wife had the penne vodka with grilled chicken. Everyone loved their deserts.

The all around atmosphere of this place was absolutely stellar, the service although only by one person the service was wonderful. The food is amazing each dish is unique and new to me. I loved the experience would come back 1000 times over, also got to meet the owner overall amazing experience.
