“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.“

“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.“
