    Brazilian Food
    Brody R.

    I love 5 on Black because it's good food, not just taste wise but it's really good for you, and it's surprisingly cheap. So yea I would rate it 5 stars

    Always tasty and great service. Eating inside is comfortable too. Love how everything is gluten free!

    Personally, I think that Brazillian food in the US is under represented, outside of the pricey all-you-can-eat buffets, which isn't how the average person in Brazil eats every day. Five on Black seems way more approachable, and feels like a Chipotle for Brazillian food. The concept of this restaurant is pretty neat and we decided to stop in for dinner. 1/2 Dozen Pao De Queijo ($5.50) - The pao de queijo has a decent texture, with a mochi-like chew, and the right taste - starchy yet cheesy - but they are served cold and not particularly fresh, like they've been sitting in the container the entire day. They should serve these fresh or at least at a minimum stored under warming lights. (3/5) Small White Rice Bowl with Feijoada, Collards, Toasted Cassava, Cilantro, Chimichurri ($9.75) - The feijoada seems to mainly consist of day old leftover meats, including the churrasco chicken and beef, mixed in with small pieces of bacon, and ground beef in a pinto bean and tomato stew. The white rice soaks up some of the liquid, making each bite still feel like you're eating stew. The chimichurri is very thick but tastes on point. They only add a small spoonful on top of the bowl so it's not enough to add much flavor to everything else. The collards aren't cooked that well - while they are pretty tender, they still exhibit a lot of bitterness. Flavorwise, even with everything mixed together, the food is kind of bland. It's like something you would eat if you're sick and don't want food that would upset your stomach. I love feijoada, and this is not it. (2/5) Small Brown Rice Bowl with Churrasco Beef, Black Beans, Cassava, Toasted Cilantro, Chimichurri ($9.75) - Starting with the meat - this is pretty much as far away from churrasco as you can get. The taste and texture is as if someone had taken roast beef, trimmed off all the fat, cubed and boiled it, leaving it overcooked, only slightly moist on the interior, yet dry on the exterior and flavorless. The beans are cooked fine, but are quite dry. The beans are drained so only the tender black beans are included without any of the sauce. The rest of the ingredients don't add any moisture at all and it feels as if you're just eating a really dry bowl of ingredients. I got the coconut curry sauce on the side. Let me tell you that you should not get the sauce on the side - without sauce, the bowl is just way too dry to eat. Adding it in improves things just a tad, but since they don't give a lot on the side, it's not enough to flavor the entire bowl. The curry essentially taste like a slightly spicy green Thai curry. Since most of the ingredients aren't spiced very well, there is a distinct lack of layered flavor. As some other reviewers state and with the other bowl, the best description for the food here is "bland". (2/5) Overall I came out full, but unsatisfied. I feel like Five on Black serves health food, maybe competing against those salad bowl places. This restaurant has such a great concept, but the food there is lacking. It's missing fat, it's missing flavor. I note some other reviews that state to use a specific combination of ingredients to increase the flavor levels. I don't think that's acceptable given that this is a Chipotle-style build your own bowl place. They either need to have recommended bowls, or make everything flavorful enough to stand on their own. I do not recommend eating at Five on Black, unless you're just looking for a unique experience and you don't particularly care about your food. Bathrooms - One unisex room in the back. Not the rooms with the googly eyes.

    Great place to grab a quick, healthy and cheap lunch. I got a small salad/rice bowl with the tilapia and added 2 cheese breads for an extra $1 each. Total was around $11 including tip. I was able to sit outside and people watch while I had my meal. The staff was nice and friendly too.

    OMG, so happy we decided to stop at Five on Black on our way back west! This place is awesome, like a better version of Chipotle. It's a bowl place where you can pick and choose what you want. I got the Churrasco Beef and Sweet Potatoes for my grill/side options, which were great. I was worried the potatoes would be too coconutty, but they were not at all! We also got the Pao de Queijo, which were small but so yummy. Loved the texture of the cheese bread.

    First meal in Missoula! My partner had researched and found this place and it piqued our interest. We walked in and they were quite busy for a time when people do not typically eat. It was a hot day and the inside was even hotter. We ordered our bowls and I got chicken and my partner got beef. This place has a lot of potential but the meats were very dry and it was quite... flavorless... I did feel healthy though so that is a plus. My main advice for this place is that they need to add a bit more of the toppings since most of the flavors came from there.

    FOOD IS ON POINT! Great place to eat while in Montana! Left feeling wholesome, food is extremely fresh, portions are abundant, Staff is extremely nice/helpful! Don't listen to those in the reviews claiming food is bland, they must be desensitized from eating garbage because it all tastes bomb! I'll DEFINITELY be back!

    Your body will thank you for eating here! I had some fried food elsewhere prior and my stomach wasn't feeling all that great but once I tried my bowl I was pleasantly surprised and almost ate everything! There are lots of healthy toppings and some I wouldn't normally eat but I'm so glad I tried something new. Ordering style is just like Chipotle as others have mentioned. Fun fountain drinks available. Don't forget to add their cheese bread to your order!

    First time, not convinced I chose the best possible option, but that's the thrill of discovery : ) And make no mistake, I'll try this again with my wife and the extended family. Think of this (maybe) as Cafe Rio, Brazilian style. Flavor pops, and for me that's huge. I eat out far too often because of work, and what can I say, I just need the culinary equivalent of the taste bud double take. This delivered that, and, if, as I suspect, I can increase my dining pleasure here by 10-15%, I will take credit for discovering the New World.

    Great place, good food - outdoor seating area (which is lovely). No real options for toddlers though.

    Cool idea for fast casual and some nice outdoor seating along the street. Great lunch spot or for a quick cheap bite.

    We were hungry for some good sandwiches, but Tagliare wasn't taking any more orders for the…read moreevening. After reading the YELP reviews for this place, I decided to try it. What a disappointment! Ordered online. When my husband got to the business, he walked to the bar to ask where to get the food. The bartender ignored him. The bartender was visiting with another customer. After a few minutes, my husband asked if that was where he needed to pick up our sandwiches. The bartender said yes, but then continued talking to the other person there. Then, in walks two people, who order drinks. The bartender takes the time to make the drinks, before finally reaching up and grabbing a sack and handing it to my husband. When the sandwiches were taken out of the bag, I noticed one had written on it that it had no onions. I had ordered one with no peppers. Looked inside, and no onions, but plenty of peppers, which I didn't want. The sandwiches were both steak, chopped super fine, like ground burger. Extremely salty. The buns started to get hard as we were eating the sandwiches, which indicated they had been microwaved. We won't be wasting our money at this place again.
