Portuguese Restaurants near Perth Amboy, NJ

“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.“

“It was very busy so we chose to sit at the end of the bar which affords a nice view of the water. The food is always excellent. and my drink was too. The bartender was really helpful in picking it out. We always enjoy the Armory and my husband is an extreme fan. We always sit outside. For us that is the charm of the place.“

“From start to finish. Absolutely amazing!! The food was outstanding! The staff were wonderful. Loved everything about our dining experience.“

“Went today with my Mahjong friends and had a fabulous meal as did everyone else. Excellent service and wonderful food and dessert 🍮“

“We went to Fernandes Matawan for the first time June 1, as recommeded by our son for his birthday. The service, food and atmosphere was beyond exceptional. Best calamari I have in a long time, the Sea Bass and fresh vegtables I ordered was excellent as was the 12 oz. filet and lobster tail my husband ordered. My son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren enjoyed their salmon, clams, lobster and shrimp meal choices. Large portions, we all except my husband and son, needed to bring home what we could not finish. Also the pitcher of white sangrera which was perfect. Hats off to the excellent service and food. Bottom line, the menu prices were a little more than what we expected, but it was worth it, you get what you pay for. My husband and I will be going back!“

“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.“

“Absolutely loved this place! The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The BBQ was tender, the sides were delicious, and the portions were generous for the price.
