Iberia is a great restaurant filled with value and tradition. It's food is wonderful and it is a very rustic place. If you go to Newark, don't leave without visiting Iberia!    [16 Apr 2003 20:45:44]

Awesome twin lobster
$30 (or so) stuffed twin lobster is definitely worth it. For meat lovers - RODIZIO!!!!!!!    [15 May 2003 09:49:21]

Hungry?! You'll never leave unsatisfied!
I tempted myself with the "Rodizio" - all you can eat mouthwatering skewered meats. It came with all you handle black beans, and flavorful rice. The Portuguese bread kept coming.
Perhaps the best part of the evening is you are NEVER rushed out. I have eaten here a dozen times so far, and only recieve the check when I ask. Perfect!    [08 Aug 2003 08:48:54]

I felt like a sardine in a can... My waiter didn't have one clue on how to explain certain dishes. Desserts? What desserts?    [28 Oct 2003 15:58:32]

Still amazing
Still one of the favorite restaurants I've ever eaten at; it's been a family meet-and-eat place since before my childhood and I got to introduce my wife and daughter to Iberia this weekend. Many, many wonderful memories flood back, and some new ones are created, every time I go.    [03 Nov 2003 12:07:56]

My all-time favorite place to eat
Iberia really is the best restaurant in the area, by far. I honestly don't know how they make any profit on their lunches. The lunch portions are HUGE, and salad/bread are included. You will not be able to eat all the food you get at this place unless you're Paul Bunyon. Their seafood dishes are especially good, as are the roasted meats and rodizio. The vegtables are never your typical soggy, dull restaurant fare - but are usually creatively prepared with a unique sauce or otherwise. I give this place 5 stars!    [19 Dec 2003 17:15:01]

BUG IN OUR FOOD !!!
We found the food to be only fair with service that required the waving of our hands. The bug in the salad pushed my wife and I over the top, and will never go there again!    [05 Dec 2004 11:21:56]

Honest Opinion
The food at Iberia is really good I have to say, but the service was terrible I've never been more disrespected at an establishment. I asked for rice and he pointed at the soggy french fries and wouldnt bring me rice. Then my waiter gave me the check and turned his back to me until I was ready to give him the check.    [31 Mar 2005 21:18:57]

Jersey's best Portugese Restaurant
The first time I went to Iberia was in December of 2002. I live in Honolulu, and was visiting family. The food was great, as was the service. The waiters were very distinguished, polite and totally attententive to my every whim. All I had to do was raise my eyes, and one was there. I am very weight conscious, however, not that night. If it was not for the bad company that brought me to this fine restaurant, it would have been the highlight of my vacation! Upon leaving (far too soon) Our waiter kissed me on the hand and hoped that I would return before returning to Hawaii. And this was after he'd received his tip! Suddenly, NJ didn't seem so cold anymore. I returned two weeks later with my cousin from New Rochelle, NY. With my wonderful escort, it was the best time spent in NJ. I returned in 2005, and they remembered me! I tasted a myriad of everything . The seafood was the freshest I'd ever eaten, and the various meats melt in your mouth. I am returning in March to NJ on business, but my first stop will be Iberia.
This time, my flight will originate in Canberra, Australia, and I'll be thinking of their king crab legs all the way!    [21 Jan 2006 16:48:49]
