What's Good HereWhat's Good Here: There are a handful of good venues for rodizio in the Ironbound, but this one is the best. Choicest meats plus good service. Skip the tiny salad bar and save room for the rodizio!

Serious EatsSerious Eats: Their menu is a small novel, but there's really only one thing to order: rodizio, giant skewers of charcoal-grilled meat paraded through the gaudy dining room by solemn waiters with carving knifes.

MC C.MC C: Steak on the tile!
