Fernando's Grille: A Hidden Gem of American Cuisine

My husband says the food is next level good. I say that the exceptional flavor and attention to detail in both of our dishes made this dining experience excellent. The service was great and it's a nice little restaurant. We will definitely go back next time we are in New Jersey.

I never understand why Fernando's Grille isn't busier. Is it because the menu stays pretty much the same year after year? I say stick with a winner. In any case it's always a pleasure to return to our old favorites or to try something new. The Sesame Encrusted Ahi Tuna was just perfect--medium rare, nice sauce, delicious wasabi mashed potatoes, and perfectly cooked and seasoned colorful vegetables. It came with a salad that was so fresh, with a delicious lemon vinaigrette. The prices are reasonable, and as a BYO establishment the bill doesn't shock. Staff is always friendly; service time varies but is never an excessive wait. The space is quiet and pleasant. Parking is not obvious but plenty of it down an alley alongside the building. Give them a try!

Fabulous hidden gem! Fresh home made food. Ribs fell off the bone and chicken franchise was fabulously flavored. Reasonable prices. We will be back!

Food and service is consistently good. You can tell the ingredients are fresh. It's nice to go to a place that every time you go you can count on the meal being well prepared.

I absolutely love Fernando's Grill. The food is amazing. My family and I have enjoyed their food for years. Excellent food and service at a reasonable price. Their desserts are delicious as well. The restaurant is cozy, but we mostly do takeout.

This is a really nice quiet restaurant with really good food! a very welcome place. The server make you feel at home.

Went for Thanksgiving and it was great! Traditional selections and much more. The food was delicious and the servers were so kind to work the holiday.

Good value Great good Nice food choices Been there many times and always great! Love the wasabi mashed potatoes

We're from California, visiting family in Hightstown, and came here for dinner last night. Not being a local, I wasn't going to review Fernando's, but after dining there, I just have to! If this place were in an upscale area like San Francisco or Carmel, it would cost you twice as much to dine here. On the weekends, they offer a 3 course dinner for $39. I got the Seafood Fra Diavolo and she got Filet Mignon, both of which were excellent! The Mushroom Bisque was very flavorful and the pasta was hot and delicious! Her filet was cooked a little more than she requested but was still tender with great flavor. The desserts, a brownie sundae and cheesecake, were generous and seemed house made, meaning delicious. The restaurant is very pleasant and unpretentious, which makes it more comfortable, in my opinion. The service was great and very accommodating, although she could have checked our water a little more often, but it wasn't a problem. Lastly, what's a good dinner without wine? They do not offer any alcohol, so they advise BYOB, which I've never seen in a restaurant, but we brought it and they opened it for us. I'd love to see this become a common practice!
