    Look so good right? Not fake, is actually a real cake!
    Kenny T.

    Overall, 4.7 stars here on Yelp, I'm giving it 5 stars, cuz they don't have 4.7 stars on here. lol Actually, I been wanted to come here for weeks, but is kind of out of my way, until today! So let me go over step by step here, incase all other people didn't give you enough information on here. Finding the entrance, I think this place took over 2 or 3 spaces, so there have 3 doors, but read the sign where the entrance at. You enter into the grocery store, and turn to the right, where the restaurant at. I came here on Tuesday afternoon around noon, the place wasn't that busy, maybe 5-8 tables, but lots of people working. Lady at the front asked me I been there before, and the answer is "nope" She told me where the line started, grab a plate, fill in whatever you like, and they will give me a number, and I can sit anywhere I like since is not that busy. Oooooookay, never done this before, I just do what they told me. I grabbed a plate, starting out with the salad, mixed bar, is small, but whatever you needed, like, is all there. Follow at the meat section, once again, small, but lot of different type of meat to choose from, sometimes they all lay it out you can pick, sometimes you have to tell them what type of meat you like, because once they cut the meat for you, they put it back to the grill, cooked it slowly and keeping them warm and juicy After, is the cash register, they will ask you if you like to dine in or take out, take out is $10+ per lb, dine in is $26+ all you can eat, of course I'm going for all I can eat, not sure how much I can eat, but let me dine in and tried a little bit of everything Food is delicious, I love Brazilian, I'm not sure these people are Brazilian, but everyone is super nice and super friendly. Now even tho at first, I thought this place sounded like self serve, but there actually server stop by and check on you anything you need, I ordered bottle of water at the register, the server still checked if I needed anything else beside bottle of water. They give me a number, once I'm done, I take the number with me to the front register and check out, they will know what I had. Now let's go back earlier I said I giving them 4.7 stars, instead of 5 stars So the second time I went back to the line, I waited a little bit for the guy to pay attention to me, I mean is not a big deal, but that's not a good customer service, whenever you in a service industry, in my opinion, customer always come first, when you have a customer standing in front of you, you get to the customer first, unless the restaurant is burning down, you stop whatever you are doing and get to the customer first. Always! When I finished, I took my number and stand at the hosted stand, because I saw the credit card machine is there, I thought that's where I pay, waited for literally 3-5 minutes, no one pay attention to me, until a lady came out from the kitchen, saw me and tell the people I needed help. Once again, customer come FIRST!! But over all, experience is good, will definitely come back. Hopefully they see this review and give a better service next time

    Foods from the buffet
    Jessica C.

    In town for the day, had an appt at MedVet. Wanted a quick late lunch before heading back home. 1st choice was a foccacia sandwich place but they are closed Mondays and Tuesdays. So we pivoted and discovered Brazilian Grill and Bakery which was a quick 6 mile drive away from the vet's office. 1/2 grocery store, 1/2 restaurant/bakery. The entrance is the door to the grocery store side and the restaurant is on the other side. You can either order from the menu, get the all you can eat buffet, or get food from the buffet and pay per pound. The staff were ALL very nice and helpful. It is a little confusing, do we seat ourselves? Do we pay first? Before we start getting food from the buffet, do we tell someone? Basically, just ask, which is what I did. Everyone is super friendly. We got the buffet (plates and silverware are on the left side). There is a salad bar, awesome potato salad and the hot section had fried chicken breast, white rice, black and red beans, a beef stew w/ potatoes (really good, meat was fall off the bone tender; I would have gone back for more if i had stomach room), maduros (sweet plaintains--so good), a cheesy potato dish, pastels (looks like an empanada), fries, and a few other hot dishes. The skewered meats, they bring from the grill and slice off the skewers onto a plate: Picanha,?top sirloin, sausage, chicken hearts. We tried a little bit of everything and he put it all on one plate for my partner and I to share. There were 2 sauces you can spoon onto your plate: a white ?garlicky one and a spicy red one. The foods were labeled, but not in English (or at least I didn't see any signs in English?). The meats were all flavorful and fantastic!!! The sausage taste was not what I expected; it was very good but definitely different than an American brat or Italian sausage. We went on a Monday around 330 pm. There were a few people eating, but not crowded at all (which was great!); everyone that came in/out spoke Portuguese, so definitely a popular place for locals to frequent! A lot of people walked away with bags of bread!! In the refrigerated bakery area, there were all kinds of cakes, mini flans, Tres leches, different flavored mousse (passionfruit, strawberry) and a chocolate coconut cake (we took this to go, along with a flan and tres leches to try at home). There is also a hot bread section, with the popular little cheese bites, coxinhas (looks like a tear drop shaped arancini/round croquette) and other savory fried foods (I Google imaged Brazilian street food and found a great chart with pictures and names). OR just ask! Everyone was super helpful and patient (with the token Asian girl who wanted to know what everything was). And there is a rack of different breads/cake? wrapped in styrofoam and saran wrap -- i wish I knew what they were, but some looked like big squares of corn bread. Everything looked delicious. There are a lot of employees so I imagine it can get very busy. The young man who checked us out mentioned there is live music on Thursday (or Friday?) nights. Oh, I forgot, when they 'ring you up' at the end of the buffet line, they give you a card with a number on it. If you buy anything from the bakery, they will add it to your 'card', which you present to the register on the grocery store side, to pay. I've only been to the large Brazilian restaurant chains (Fogo de Chao, Texas de Brazil, etc). This place is a great local and authentic restaurant; I loved seeing so many Portuguese-speaking patrons. I will definitely come back to try everything I didn't have room for AND to try the bread everyone kept leaving with!

    Please visit this restaurant! I have driven by many times without stopping in and I am so sad that I waited so long. They have a menu of items you can try in order off of, but my sister and I got the buffet and we're sure glad that we did. They had some salad bar items and then hot bar items with different items that rotate daily. In addition, they had a gentleman carving beautifully cooked steak, lamb, and sausage at your request. Everyone that worked there was super nice and helpful. Multiple people stopped by to check on us and welcome us. All the food was delicious and we picked out a few desserts to take home from the bakery (not included in the buffet price). There's also a little Brazilian market attached to the restaurant that is worth checking out as well. The restaurant itself had a really nice vibe with exposed brick walls. One of the women working told us that happy hour is from 12 to 8 but I will have to come back and try one of their cocktails at some other point. I will definitely be back.

    This place is just amazing. I love their food and the vibe. They have karaoke and that is absolutely fun. I like their buffet, caipirinha, and all the other food. People are very friendly here. I recommend this place to anyone wanna try some good Brazilian food with the vibe.

    Rice, loaded fries, salad, plantains, manioc, pinto beans, and the Chapa Mista bbq plater

    I'm the red meat eater in the family so my husband making a reservation at a Brazilian grill was a shocker. (That's a hint. Make a reservation!!! This place stayed full and busy on a Thursday night!!) We were seated at a little table for two and promptly moved to a larger table to make room for all the food we ordered. As it happened, I ordered the Picanha Grelhada and husband ordered the Churrasco Brasileiro, and the waiter talked us in to family style Chapa Mista--steak, sausage, and chicken. Add a side of pinto beans and a side of plantains and we were in business! Everything was delicious! I'm a medium rare girlie and the steak was closer to well, but it was flavorful and juicy! The sausage was sliced and crisp and so good! I even had a bite of the chicken and liked it! (I don't like chicken. Not sorry.) We did not need the loaded fries we ordered as an appetizer but they were delicious and worth keeping in mind for a good shared snack. We were too full for dessert but the variety of pastries and cakes is on the level with a stand alone bakery. One tip: Our server brought us a plastic card with a number on it after we ordered. We didn't know that you're supposed to take that card up to the cash register in the store when you're done, so we sat there looking like dummies waiting for a check. So do that. Don't be dummies like us.

    As we were waiting for the restaurant we had planned to eat at to open, we were looking for interesting stores or bakeries to visit and kill some time. Brazilian Grill & Bakery popped up on my Yelp feed and as soon as I saw this place sold Brazilian pasteis, I knew we had to go. We arrived a bit before 11 and found not only an entire restaurant and bakery, but also a Brazilian grocery store in half the building. We're not too familiar with the groceries and food of this region, so it was certainly an adventure! We spent some time going through all the goods stocked in a couple of small rows and found a number of items to buy - yucca cheese snacks, and cashew fruit juice. It's too bad we couldn't buy any frozen goods due to our road travel or else we would have spent more! One thing we found particularly funny is that they sell the drinks right next to bottles of cleaning fluids. At first we thought those were also drinks... Afterwards, we went to the restaurant side. On weekends, they have a buffet for $25.99, but on weekdays the food is sold by weight: $9.99 for items in the main buffet line and $15.99 for the cut-to-order meats. We were still planning to go to the other restaurant - that was until the grill master took a lamb skewer off the grill and offered us a sample. We were hooked instantly and decided to forgo our previous plans. The lamb had an exquisite exterior, perfectly seasoned, with a bit of a fatty layer that crackled in the mouth. The meat was tender and barely gamey with only a hint of the lamb flavor. It was literally dripping with juices, which burst out as I chewed. This was some of the best lamb I have ever had. Once again, we don't have too much experience with authentic Brazilian food, but all the food looked appetizing and we wanted to try everything. It helped that all of the store staff were friendly and inviting. We had a bunch of questions and they took the time to answer every single one of them. Eventually, we decided to get two plates of the buffet items and another plate of meat. We skipped the small salad bar, instead opting for the numerous items in the main entree area: Arroz Carreteiro - Basically a pilaf, moist and mixed with green onions, diced carrots, pieces of cubed and cured pork belly, and small sections of beef. Feijao Carioca - Tender pinto beans in a nice savory broth. File de Porco - Pork chops with a kind of dry interior, but fantastic exterior flavor. Estrogonofe de Carne - Tender beef chunks in a delicious mustard based sauce. Carne de Panela - Pretty much tastes like a classic pot roast with beef and roasted, crispy, and fluffy potato. Tropeiro Com Torresmo - I'm not sure what this is. Smashed fried chicharrones and bread crumbs mixed with plantains, beans, onions and herbs? Tasted pretty good! Empedao de Frango - Very interesting chicken pot pie. On top is a crispy cheese crust. Then a floury dough layer that tastes of chicken broth, kind of similar in texture to a thick and dense mashed potato. Inside is shredded chicken with a thick cream cheese sauce and olives. The inside is not creamy or soupy like an American pot pie but well defined and cohesive. Banana Frita - Sweet yellow plantains with a caramelized exterior and soft tender interior. For the meat, there was a selection of picanha, flank steak, chicken, beef ribs, chicken hearts, and lamb. We went with a couple slices of the first two. Both were absolutely delicious, with a salty exterior and a beefy interior cooked to a perfect medium. There were fatty portions that were well rendered and very tender, easy to cut even with with a butter knife. Overall the buffet was a 5/5. Once you fill your plates, the server will give you a number card, which you bring to the store cashier to check out after eating. We ended up also getting a number of pasteis to-go to try later in the day: Coxinha Com Catupiry ($4) - Filled with shredded chicken, herbs, and cream cheese sauce, the same as in the pot pie. There's a very light crisp exterior studded with bread crumbs that separates easily from the dough layer. (5/5) Coxinha ($3.75) - Same as the above but missing the cheese. I liked the cheese one more - this one just has a bunch of meat that makes it a bit dry. (4/5) Assado de Frango C/Batata ($5) - Quite a dense pie crust, reminds me of soft pretzel dough, surrounding the same pulled chicken as the coxingha but mixed with potato and herbs. The herbs used are a bit different from the coxinha. Lots of crust, maybe a bit too much. (3/5) Pao de Queijo Com Goiabada ($1) - Chewy and cheesy bread with a sweet and sourish guava paste inside. And only a dollar. I should have bought way more of these and some of the normal Pao de Queijo as well. (5/5) Bathrooms - Two individual rooms, one for men, one for women. Brazilian Grill & Bakery is way better than any of those chain Brazilian Barbecue places and probably way more authentic. I would revisit in a heartbeat next time I'm in Columbus.

    I've been here a few times now, both to shop and eat and have had a great experience every time. It's a fun atmosphere where you can shop for groceries, enjoy a meal, or grab a drink. It's always lively every time I'm there regardless of the day or time. They serve delicious authentic Brazilian food and sell a wide range of Brazilian products in their market. They offer a buffet in the restaurant which is definitely the most bang for your buck. The buffet has so many delicious options ranging from meats like steak and sausage, sides like rice, beans, potato salad, bread, bakery items and sweet treats, etc. It has everything you could want! We've always had great friendly service. My boyfriend is from Brazil and this is definitely his favorite place to go!

    Ignore how it looks on the outside - trust me, it's awesome inside...

    OMG, THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE PLACE IN COLUMBUS...!!! Awesome. Simply awesome. I'm amazed there's only 1 review from a Yelp Elite for Brazilian Grill & Bakery. That's a shame, and a missed opportunity. Come on, Columbus, you need to go here...! I'm serious - this is my new favorite restaurant in Columbus. I guess I'm not surprised - they're located in Columbus Square, a long-aging shopping center in Northeast Columbus at the intersection of 161 and Cleveland Avenue. The restaurant looks absolutely dumpy on the outside (see pix), then shockingly updated, light, beautiful, lively, super clean and really nice on the inside (see pix). THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS, and the price is a bargain. Think Rodizio Grill or Texas de Brazil for half the price. They have a 2 buffet tables (serve yourself) - one of cold items, another of hot items, and expertly grilled and seasoned meats carved for your enjoyment. On the weekend it's $25.99/adult for all you can eat. That's a bargain for the quality and flavors. I hear weekdays everything is priced by the pound (I believe they said $9.99/lb for hot + cold buffet items, $15.99/lb for carved meats - still a bargain). I did not ask the price for kids, but based on all of the families there I have to believe the price is less for kids. I was there on a Saturday afternoon and they had 5 different grilled meats - sirloin steak, beef ribs, chicken legs, chicken hearts (try one, they're tasty), and yummy sausages. All were expertly seasoned, nicely cooked, and delicious. The chimichurri sauce was absolutely world-class. And the red sauce next to it that was "light my fire" hot, but full of flavor and delicious. The cold buffet items were nice, especially the potato salad. The hot buffet items were nice, especially the rice covered with black bean stew. But the meat is why you come here. Why you'll crave here. Why my mouth is watering just writing this. Why I'm heading back soon. They also have a very nice full bar. I had a Caipirinha - it was perfect, expertly made, and delicious. The Caipirinha is Brazil's national cocktail - made with cachaça (a Brazilian sugar-cane rum), granulated sugar, lime, and a little mint. This was one of the best Caipirinha's I've ever had, and I've had quite a few. I asked if they could make me a Mojito, the answer was "yes". Next time... The other patrons were (no surprise) mostly Brazilian families. It's a very authentic restaurant - several servers spoke no English, and I speak no Portuguese. The guy carving the meat spoke no English or Spanish, but hey - we made it work just fine. That said, other servers speak perfect English and were very happy to translate when needed. I absolutely, positively felt very welcome, and the manager stopped by several times to check on me. Brazilian Grill & Bakery is a hidden Columbus gem. If you love grilled, wonderfully seasoned meat, it's a bargain. Great place. Delicious food. Nice and friendly people. Lovely dining room. I'm getting hungry again just writing this review. Go - just go. You'll thank me... I promise...!

    Buffet all you can eat
    Manoela D.

    The food 10/10. The place gives a very true taste of Brazilian food and environment. There's music, good service, many itens to shop if you want take anything home, and is very accessible. The only downside of it is that is very overwhelming (too loud because is very full, so can be challenging for people who get bothered by overstimulating places). But in all, definitely worth a comeback visit!

    Rodizio Grill Brazilian Steakhouse Columbus - Sweet and Spicy Chicken

    8.8 miArena District
    $$$

    Have you ever been to a Brazilian Steak House with roving table service? What an interesting…read moreexperience! Rodizio is a "churrascaria," which is a Brazilian restaurant specializing in barbecue. Located in the heart of the arena, District, Rodizio is a singular dining destination. Nothing quite like it anywhere nearby. There is a full salad bar, which is more like a food bar in actuality. Selections include traditional salad items of course, but also selections of pastas, vegetables, and other hot and cold food selections, as what can be best described "side dishes." This portion of the restaurant is self serve. There are of course menu items that can be ordered, but what most people come here for is the roving meat experience. A wide variety of beef, poultry, and other meat are regularly rotated throughout the dining area, by staff who act as carvers at your table. The word rodizio in Brazil actually means "rotation." Here's how it works: a meat server staff member, known as a "gaucho," will walk up to your table with a particular type of meat, and ask you if you would like a piece of that meat. If you reply, yes they will carve a piece from the larger cut of meat for you. These meats are hot, fresh from the kitchen, and ready to serve. This is how traditional Brazilian barbecues historically often work, in country. A carnivore's delight. The whole process is managed at table with a wooden peg/coaster, which is red on one end and green on the other. If the green side is up, that means the table wants to be served meats. On the other hand, if the red side is up, that means the table does not want to be served at that time. This is an immersive dining experience and very participatory. I find that it fosters conversation at the table with people you are attending with, and the entire restaurant is lively and vibrant. It is an experience that I highly recommend and always look forward to visiting.

    In town for work and wanted to enjoy a good meal. We headed over to Rodizio…read more It took a while for someone to acknowledge us. The restaurant wasn't that busy. Once greated, we were sat and given the overview. Soon, we were off to the salad bar. That was decent. Typical fare but other places seem to do it better. Soon, the meats were paraded by. We definitely got our full. Many were good. Some were just okay. But that's the beauty of a place like this. You get to try a lot of things. Service was good. Most of the food was good. But as mentioned, other places seem to do it better.

    $$

    I've been eating at El Arepazo since its early days on Pearl Alley when there was no where to sit…read more As a Colombian-American, I am proud of our heritage and cuisine, but there aren't always great places to eat besides at home. So it was some surprise to try bandeja paisa (traditional huge platter of various Colombian foods) and find it the best anywhere, including in Colombia. 25 years later and that still holds true. I have yet to find arepitas as exquisite of those of Carolina and Carlos, and they remain my standard (I think they are Venezolano, but does it matter? They are delicious and they are the best I've had). The cilantro salsa is unique and really adds to a lot of the foods they offer. My spouse is all about the maracuyá juice, and their options are worth sampling since its not usual for most Americans. For me it is comfort food not only as a Colombian-American, but as a (former) long-time resident of Columbus who at times craves reminders of the past. I've been to Pearl through its incarnations, then Gahanna, and now this Brewery District location. This one is my favorite of the three, with nice space and a great Latin atmosphere. We were there recently on a Saturday and had top-notch service, and even a visit from Carlos to reminisce about old times. El Arepazo is a Columbus institution. If you are curious about Latino food, and Colombian/Venezuelan cuisine in particular, it is THE place to start. Columbus is lucky to have a restaurant like this that beats out anything in Queens, Elizabeth NJ, Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, and would give places from Bogotá to Caracas a run for its money. It's legit, its delicious, it is attractively priced, the location is great, the staff is warm and friendly. 10/10. Stop reading and go eat there!

On Saturday, August 8th, I took a friend to breakfast at First Watch, across the street from Arepazo. I parked in a legal parking space in front of Arepazo at approximately 10:30 AM and left around 12:30 PM. Later that day, I discovered that the front passenger door of my Jeep Grand Cherokee had been badly dented. At first, it looked as though someone had purposely kicked it. I retraced everywhere I had been that day in an attempt to determine exactly what happened. After reviewing my home security camera footage, I was able to narrow down when the damage occurred. The footage clearly showed that when I backed out of my garage to go to breakfast that morning, my passenger door was undamaged. When I returned home after breakfast, the damage was clearly visible. A few days later, after Arepazo reopened following Sunday, I called the restaurant and spoke directly with Carlos. I explained what had happened and told him that I had noticed security cameras on the restaurant that appeared to be pointed toward the area where my Jeep had been parked. Carlos confirmed that the cameras were working, although he told me the resolution probably would not be good enough to identify someone's face. I explained that I wasn't concerned about identifying a face--I simply wanted to know what happened to my vehicle. Carlos assured me that he would help me figure out what happened and promised to get back to me. It has now been two weeks. My insurance estimator has since inspected the Jeep and determined that the damage is consistent with someone's body having been slammed into the passenger door. The estimated repair cost is approximately $3,300. Despite Carlos telling me he would help, I have not heard from him. I have called several times and left messages with multiple staff members, including his manager, Brent. On Tuesday, August 18th, at approximately 6:30 PM, I finally went to Arepazo in person. I spoke with several employees, including Brent. Brent went into the back to call Carlos. After approximately 15 minutes, he returned and told me that he had just spoken with Carlos and assured me that Carlos would contact me. He still has not. Is this a review of the food at Arepazo Tapas Bar and Grille? No. Is it a review of the restaurant's service? Not exactly. But I do believe it says something about how the owner treats people. I wasn't asking Carlos to pay for the damage. I wasn't accusing Arepazo or any of its employees of causing it. I was simply asking him to follow through on his promise to check security footage that might show what happened to my vehicle while it was parked directly in front of his restaurant. I even told Carlos and Brent that I would gladly come back and eat at Arepazo if they would simply help me with the security footage. Apparently, after two weeks, several phone calls, multiple messages, an in-person visit, and two separate assurances that Carlos would contact me, getting back to me isn't a priority. That's disappointing. Sometimes how a business owner treats someone when there is absolutely nothing in it for him says more about the business than the food ever could. I guess Arepazo has enough business that Carlos doesn't need mine--or that of the friends and family I might otherwise have recommended to his restaurant.

It definitely sets the tone for a nice night out. Also this location is very different from Polaris. The service was okay...not terrible, but not as attentive or memorable as I expected for a steakhouse of this reputation. As for the food... this is where it fell short for me. I've been wanting to try it for a while because I've heard so many good things, so I came in with high expectations. Unfortunately, the steak wasn't cooked the way I prefer, the brussel sprouts weren't enjoyable, and the mashed potatoes tasted like they may have been instant, which was disappointing for a place known for steak.The one standout for me was the meatballs,they were actually really good and had great flavor. Overall, for a birthday dinner and for the reputation it has, our party left a bit disappointed. It wasn't a horrible experience, but it just didn't match the expectations we had going in.

I had already viewed the menu before hand and found a couple must have items. we ordered the empanadas ( cheese and chicken) Taco Arepas, Sweet and Sour Pork Belly and Hallaquitas Chicharron's. These dishes were seasoned so well, the sauces provided were perfection. At one point we both said we could just drink the cilantro sauce. We also got the mini sweet arepas and while parts of the dish were good it was an interesting mixture to have as one bite. None the less this place is a 10/10 for flavor, service was amazing we felt very taken care of and the pricing was very reasonable For a scratch kitchen. This place is a must try!

    Knowing the power that online reviews can have and taking some experiences with a grain of salt…read morehere and there because sometimes you hit that one off day where maybe a place that's normally epic just doesn't quite have their stuff together, I find that I end up giving 5 stars in a range that goes from "really good" to "Michelin needs to stop in here (or already has)." This is definitely on the latter end of the spectrum. I popped in here tonight for a late dinner (830ish on a Saturday) to find the place relatively busy but with plenty of open seats. The decor was a nice mix of dark and light with the bright green accents plus a big screen TV cycling tropical getaways (I assume from places in Latin America). I was seated and tended to quickly by a hostess and server, respectively. I got my order in for a coconut mojito and a chicharron arepa right away. My mojito came shortly thereafter with my arepa not long after that. The mojito, as you can see, was garnished with a generous amount of shredded coconut on top and was heavier and creamier than a normal mojito, lighter on the mint flavor and pushing closer to a piña colada than a mojito. All in all though, still quite a refreshing drink after a hot and humid day. The arepa though was really the star of the show. The flavors and textures and everything about it were just mind-blowing. The handmade cheese, the incredibly seasoned and cooked pork, and the crispy arepa were all just *BOOM*. The avocado had a little bit of surface darkness on the one end that could have been polished up a little bit but not the end of the world. One I finished with these, I waited patiently for a while for my server to come back but alas I had to pop up to the bar to get my caipirinha. This version was slightly sweeter than some versions I've had and I don't mind sweet, but just be aware for those who may be considering it. Eventually, my server came back and apologized for being gone so long as she was conversing with her boss. Like I said... grain of salt. Aside from a minor inconvenience of having to walk 10 feet to the bar myself, this place absolutely blew me away and I will absolutely come back if I ever find myself in town again. Bonus points for having gluten and allergen callouts on their normal menu as well!

Like... you are built next to a Taco Bell in a strip mall plaza, chill out. Drinks were good (the brazilian limonade was bitter AF but maybe its supposed to be), waitstaff was great and attentive. The salad bar is okay. Cold cuts, fruits, cheeses, salads, pickles, veg - all nice. Kept clean and well stocked. Would have liked plantains and cheese bread offered in the hot bar section as those are good items and you only get tiny sharing portions at your table. The fire-roasted meats...? Seems the done-ness scale is either cremated or still mooing bloody raw. The gauchos comes all at once then crickets for long spells at a time. Pieces can be gristle or straight up just fat. If you're going to serve unmariniated meat, one word. SALT. It all needed backed up with much more salt. This place has its faults, which wouldn't be half as offensive if it was half the price. I've been to several brazilian places (including self-serve takeout) and this churrascaria is the worst. P.S. The grilled pineapple was bad, too.
