    Great wings, meats, with some  salad
    Jay M.

    Great lunch spot for healthy salad, veggies and dah meats . Brazilian style Meats sliced off hot the grill per the pound price . I had some sirloin , 2 chicken wings, and talked into some beef and bacon by the grill guy... Sirloin nice, tender, wings usually excellent.. these were small pigeon size , the bacon wrapped beef he talked me into the bacon wrapped meat well cooked to inedible.... Lesson learned is don't accept suggestions as he knew he had to move the slow moving burnt meat before it feeds his dogs... Usually excellent here, this was very good except the beef in bacon... my bad as should have stuck to my normal items... Help and employees all pleasant, 12.86 and add a soda still a decent lunch... they have someone keeping the tables cleaned and moving , all good here... the tar weight with plate vs styrofoam container and final price a mystery... how much per lb? How much weight? All loaded on plate is per lb price... a heavy potato item costs same as sirloin... Bargain is a pile of high quality meat and lightweight lettuce vs Wings, potato salad and a sausage

    The food was great. It was per pound so I got a lil of every meat I wanted. The service is nice and simple. They come pick your plates up when you are done. Let you test out the meat if you've never had it. The ambiance is so simple in a good way. Not to much going on. Different variety of music and have TVs going. One for kids as well. The only thing I did notice and didn't like. They need to use different knives for the different meats. Pork knife Chicken knife etc. over all it was great

    Pork, hearts, sausage and steak strips.

    Quick food, delicious bites. Prices by the pound, total value. Grab your own drinks after your food for quick service.

    Rice and beans, plantains, chicken hearts, chicken thighs, chicken sausage and pasta salad

    This is a really yummy hole in the wall Brazilian bbq place. My husband and I went for take out. It's all by weight with a salad bar, traditional sides like beans and rice and plantains, and then you walk up to the grill to select your meats. I tried chicken hearts, chicken sausage and chicken thighs. My husband got steak, spicy sausage and pork shoulder. The staff were incredibly friendly and the price was super affordable. The food was yummy but a little salty. We got all of this for under $30. This place is no frills but an authentic and delicious meal.

    a large kitchen with a lot of food

    OK... so I was here Friday and I'm back in Sunday... yes it's that good!! It really doesn't get any better, fresher or better quality.

    Picanha and spicy sausage to go
    Rachel L.

    Every time I'm in the Boston area, I always find myself at Minas! Their Brazilian barbecue meats are some of the best I've had both in terms of quality and price! Our favorites are the chicken hearts, picanha, and spicy sausage - all are super tender and moist, and incredibly well seasoned! Overall this place is a 10/10 - would highly recommend!

    This restaurant is tasty, but pricey…read more Most of the stuff on the menu is overpriced but quality food. Most is food you might be able to make at home. But you're paying for the service and not having to cook and clean and worry about anything. I cane with a party of 5 and the restaurant was packed. The server was good but overworked; it took forever to finally get the check because after the meal he totally forgot about us for 15-20 minutes and disappeared. We ordered the seafood chowder (good but no lobster...? @ 15 a bowl?) and the fried rice balls with red sauce, they were filling and flavorful, and texturally pleasing. The seafood primavera was bland. The mussels were good and the sauce was quite delicious. The chicken parm was good.

    What a gem - run to this small but elegant place if you want a delicious meal! My sister and I…read morewanted to grab dinner after a flight from Boston and were searching for a place on way home. We do not know Canton and were so glad we found this place! Ironically our mother was named Elsie. We started with their delicious focaccia bread which was light and flavorful and had the calamari appetizer. Lightly breaded with two sauces and very good. The hostess and server were very friendly and engaging and food was served promptly. I had the Chicken Parmesan which was a good portion and the sauce was amazing! My sister had the Bolognese which was exceptional. Definitely a place we would return to and so glad we found it.

    Visited for a birthday lunch and, overall, it was a good experience, though there were a few…read moreservice hiccups. I believe our server was new, which was understandable, but there were several minor miscommunications throughout the meal. He wasn't familiar with the brand of still water the restaurant carried, service was a bit slow at times, and there were a few mix-ups with our drinks. I specifically asked for a passion fruit lemon drop made with tequila and even confirmed with him that the bar had everything needed to make it. He later returned to say they couldn't make it as requested, and when the drink finally arrived, it was made with vodka instead. Definitely not what I ordered, and not very good. Another thing that stood out was the seating. We were dining with a baby, yet we were seated right next to what appeared to be a large business meeting. The group was understandably loud, making it difficult to enjoy a relaxing birthday lunch. If the restaurant wasn't completely full, it would have been nice if a little more thought had gone into seating guests, especially families with young children, in a quieter area. Steakhouse Egg Rolls - 8/10: These are always one of my favorites. They were delicious as usual, but they're definitely on the pricey side for essentially two small egg rolls cut in half. They're a much better value during happy hour. Spinach Dip - 9/10: Creamy, flavorful, and one of the better appetizers. My only complaint is that there wasn't enough pita bread for the amount of dip. I wish they also served tortilla chips or provided additional bread. Crab Cake - 5/10: Unfortunately, this was the biggest disappointment. It seemed like the quality has declined since my last visit. There was more filler than I remember, the texture was a bit odd, and it lacked the fresh crab flavor I was expecting. Roasted Chicken - 9.5/10: This was easily one of the highlights of the meal. The chicken was perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of spice, and it was tender, juicy, and incredibly flavorful without being overly rich. My only small complaint is that I wish the dish came with more potatoes--they were delicious, and the portion felt a bit light. I'd absolutely order this again. Loaded Baked Potato - 7/10: It was good, but nothing particularly memorable. It was also smaller than expected for the price, although that's somewhat expected at a steakhouse. Overall, the food was hit or miss this visit. While I enjoyed some of my usual favorites, the service inconsistencies and a few disappointing dishes kept this from being a great birthday lunch. I'd still return, but I'm hoping for a smoother experience next time.

    We were extremely disappointed with our experience at Del Frisco's. For a restaurant at this price…read morepoint, we expected much better quality and attention to detail. I ordered the Steakhouse Burger medium-well, and it came out significantly undercooked. I sent it back, only to have it returned undercooked AGAIN. The sweet potato fries that came with it were also undercooked and soggy. Unfortunately, the rest of our meal wasn't much better. My daughter's bolognese was served cold, my husband's meal was overly salty, and my sangria tasted watered down. When you're paying Del Frisco's prices, you expect the food and drinks to reflect that. Having so many issues with one dinner was incredibly disappointing. We were really looking forward to a nice meal and instead spent much of the evening sending food back and dealing with problems that should never happen at a restaurant of this caliber. Definitely not the experience we expected from Del Frisco's.

    We had a 12/10 experience with the OCC tonight and would definitely recommend!…read more During these unprecedented times, going out to eat is what I miss most. The OCC has always been a go-to spot for dinner in Norwood. It has great quality food, good atmosphere, and great customer service. My boyfriend and I placed a curbside pickup order (great that they have that!) and we had an amazing experience. The sweet potato crusted haddock reminded me of a cozy Thanksgiving meal, and our chicken nugget appetizer awakened my taste buds when dipped in the sweet&sour sauce. SUCH a great meal. The pickup process was super smooth as well. I paid over the phone, and an employee brought the food out to my car with gloves and a mask on. Made me feel much more comfortable ordering from here. I fully trust that the OCC is clean and all of their staff is healthy during these times. If there is any debate in your mind, you should definitely go here!

I got a turkey dinner special. It wasn't special but it was tasty enough. The restaurant felt a little old school due to it being such a long-time establishment so it seemed fitting to have a Schlitz. At the end of the evening we received our left overs in matte black take away boxes and the waiter replated the food in the box with a surprising amount of artistry! It was pretty slick. There are several municipal lots within close walking distance to OCC. Nice date night.
