My experience eating at Restaurante Brasil was quite enjoyable. You're greeted by very friendly Brazilian waitstaff. Unfortunately, it took a member of our group to explain how the restaurant pricing worked -either $30 all-you-can-eat or the option of paying for your dish by the pound -while the waitstaff remained mum on the subject. The buffet choices were plentiful with ox tail stew being a favorite and many vegetables I experienced for the first time. Further down the "chow line" was the opportunity to choose from fresh-cut beef, lamb, and chicken. With this said, some buffet items at the dinner hour were already depleted with trays holding food that were lukewarm or cold. The salmon appeared either overcooked or perhaps cooked yesterday. In sum, I was fortunate to eat at Restaurante Brasil as it gave a good sampling of what I would wish to try again at better Brazilian restaurants in the area. read more

For me this place is solid. Food already made. Serve yourself(plastic gloves provided). I tried a meal plan service earlier this year and yeah it was cool and all but pricey. I learned portion control, but not regular portion, I learned 'weight cut' portion control... So my Mon-Fri is gonna look like this. It literally was the most juiciest chicken drumstick you could imagine paired simply with a quarter of a medium sized potato. $4.52 Beat that for a meal plan... oh and I didn't eat the skin... probably wouldn't be too much of a difference calorie wise.

After moving from Boca, I think about this place sometimes and miss it so much!! The staff is amazing as well as the food and atmosphere. Everyone should try Brazilian food, it's amazing, they have a lot of options on the menu too. Perfect for dinner with friends/family. Please give this lovely place a try read more

First of all the atmosphere is worse than in a food court at a shopping mall! Secondly, there is only one staff member that speaks English. Thirdly, there are very limited choices to choose from and it changes daily and no desserts! . Fourth, their website does not reflect current menu prices. Lastly, the sirloin beef was very dry. Even Golden Corral is better than this place! Do not recommend at all! read more

They have very good food and their prices are reasonable. Try the fish they are a great spot. I'll get my car service right around the corner where I walk to the restaurant I go there to relax my car gets serviced I have several service garages in the area plus they have a big huge car wash if you're looking to have lunch and getting in your car service while you wait it's a great spot. read more

This was my first time back since the pandemic but I've been a loyal follower since they opened. I was pleased to see that they make you wear gloves/mask while serving. It's also very accommodating for take-out. The sanitary steps in place should be advertised better and they will have a huge following. Under normal conditions, it's a Brazilian buffet weighed at checkout with a meat cutter and a nice selection of picanha, chicken heart, sausages and steaks. read more

Restaurante Brasil - meat and vegetables in a styrofoam container - Brazilian Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Randomly found this restaurant in a pretty ghetto plaza but it is a gem! Located right next to the Western Beef on a corner, this little cafe has some delicious meats and sides. It's very similar to Texas de Brazil, lots of Brazilian style cuts of meat. Due to coronavirus, the experience has changed from buffet style to choosing entrees from behind the counter. The meals are priced by weight. I got the garlic picanha, pork sausage, and ribs, along with mashed potatoes, brown rice and this yucca flour fried beans and bacon bits. The meats were a bit dry but very flavorful and delicious. The winning part was the mashed potatoes. It was absolutely delightful. Will definitely go back and try more things. Staff was friendly and helpful. I'm sure one day when everything settles down, dining in will be an even better experience. read more

Restaurante Brasil - Priced by weight - Brazilian Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Delicious, fresh food! Outstanding service too!! If in this part of Florida I'd visit again. Definitely would refer this place to others.

This place happens to be one of the worst restaurants that I have visited in a long time. Let's start with the good, the bottled water was refreshing, and the perfect complement to wash down the food, the restaurant staff was friendly and attentive. The meat was typical Brazilian fair, the garlic picanha was so dry I almost choked on it, the flank steak which was a medium to medium-well was barely OK, the lamb was so bad and dry, I couldn't swallow it. The sausage was virtually tasteless and way overcooked. Now if you think that is bad, move onto the mashed potatoes that were far from homemade, the french fries were of the frozen variety, most of the food on the serving area was cold. Without even trying Texas de Brazil reached a plateau unthinkable for a restaurant in comparison, and if you ever go to a restaurant and think you have bad food, please visit this establishment have a meal, then go back to that other restaurant, and you would have a meal fit for a king. This place gets a five FEH rating read more

Amazing food! Totally worth the price for the amount of food and the quality. Compliments to the chefs! Only wish they played Brazilian music like Samba or Bossa Nova instead of American or Hispanic music. I love going to cultured places and embracing the culture from the food to the music. So it was disappointing to not have that experience. read more

Want a break from cooking at home? Wife/Significant other a lousy cook? Enough of HotDogs or Publix take out dinners? ........ Hop in the car, take a bike, hitch hike walk do what ever it takes to get here and get some great home style cooking just like your Grandma used to make it .......if she was Brazilian! Their Buffet has a great fruit and salad selection with an array of hot dishes and finally their grilled meats! Great place if you're on a Low Carb Diet (yeah in my dreams!) Once again I'm crawling out of here on my belly...... Will definitely be back! read more

Restaurante Brasil - Chicken Stroganoff-Sirloin Steak- Chicken leg! - Brazilian Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

My boss brought me here for lunch the other day, it's a buffet style restaurant where the food is weighed and at the end you pay. The food was alright in my opinion nothing I was really excited for which was a bit of a disappointment, however picanha I had was good. The service was great the people were very friendly,they spoke both English and Portuguese. Our waitress was very attentive with us and there was not a single issue. Overall it was a good experience and a nice lunch. read more

Restaurante Brasil - Brazilian Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Idk why this place doesn't have 5 stars. My husband and I came in as soon as they opened. Everything was fresh and flavor of oxtail, chicharron (fried pork belly), rice and beans were delicious. The salad area was really good. The steak as well was seasoned to perfection. We are definitely coming back to this place. read more

aThis place has wholesome, unpretentious food by the pound. Clean, busy, No fancy utensils. Great with a bottle of beer. A definite "casual" place with working people and their families.. All is go.... read more

Food was mediocre and the service probably the worst. No explanation how their service works or anyone there to greet you if I needed to sit myself, waiter or self service. Super awkward moment at the restaurant but not so awkward if you spoke Portuguese. They need to understand that standard restaurant protocol is different than ordering by the pound. Even when I finally got the food and told the lady I wanted a passion fruit drink, she said she was going to take it to the table and never did after 20 mins waiting. At least put a sign in English of the rules or how it works not assume that any regular person walking at door knows that is self service, wait in line, weight food, and sit down while you pay at the end. por favor conserte isso read more

This place is great is you can't be bothered to cook, or wash up afterwards... Plenty of Brazilian meat options, rice, beans and dessert, what more do we need? I will be happy to use this place regularly. So why only 4*s, it snobbery I suppose, but it's not got any seafood options. The staff have been lovely... Solid. read more

Small Brazilian restaurant, buffet style, charged by the pound. Food was ok. Expensive for the quality. Service was ok, not great. Could be better. I suspect the owner is a slave driver & treats employees badly, because employees were not very friendly or courteous. If this is the case, I hope the OWNER becomes more conscious of the importance of showing gratitude & respect towards their employees who allow them to run their business & make a living for their family. Pequeno restaurante Brasileiro, estilo buffet, se cobra por libra / kg. A comida estava ok. Achei caro pela qualidade. O atendimento foi ok, mas poderia ter sido melhor. Suspeito que o DONO seja meio escravocrata e trate e pague mal os empregados, pois os empregados não eram muito gentis ou corteses. Se este for o caso, espero que o DONO tome consciencia da importancia da gratidão pelos empregados e tratá-los com respeito e gratidão, os quais fazem tudo no restaurante e assim possam ter uma renda para sua família. read more

The concept is a buffet by the pound ($10.99/lb) but they don't tell if go back and just get majority meat they changed the price to $14.99/lb. They couldn't explain at what percentage of meat/salad changes the price. The other complaint is the quality of the food, especially the meat; it's very fatty and extremely dry. Avoid, it's not worth giving it a try. read more

Excellent! Assorted skewered meats, oxtail, lamb, rice and beans. Finished with an outstanding tiramisu for desert! Little spot of heaven back in a shopping center. You grab a plate and they weigh your plate. Pretty simple. I'll be back. read more

Restaurante Brasil - I couldn't resist, I got oxtail, chicken, lamb, steak, rice, beans, and plantains. - Brazilian Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

If you want to try Brazilian food but is not sure how or where this is the place. The system is by the pound, you go through a big buffet of choices, including the famous churrasco, and in the end your plate gets weighed. It's an opportunity to try a little bit of everything. I personally recommend the chicken salad, I always get some rice and beans and some chicken/meat from the bbq. I appreciate this place because they always have a great variety even for someone that's trying to be good with their food, the salad part of the buffet is quite large. If there is one little con is the desserts, I wouldn't spend money on it, have a cafezinho instead! Lol Be aware of Sundays, it's the day Brazilians go out with their families to eat, so the place is always busy. They also eat late so a regular 6/7pm Boca dinner time should be very pleasant! read more

Finally!! My boyfriend & I have been looking for a great Brazilian restaurant and this is our new favorite place! Unfortunately we don't speak Portuguese, but the staff is still so accommodating! (Other places we find it very difficult to order) BUT this place is a buffet so very little communication is involved! They've had different items at the buffet each time we have been but their all so good! The buffet has many hot items and cold (salad type stuff) Everything we've tried has been great! My favorite is the rice and beans with the bread crumbs on top. The potato salad is to die for!! My boyfriend devours the sausage and eggs lol The buffet also offers a hot carving station of several different meats. The cost is so worth it! 7.99$ a pound?! You can't beat that! Ours roughly costs $9.00 each and I always have leftovers. If you don't wish to dine in you can always fill up a to go box, have it weighed, pay, and take it home! Don't forget the espresso! It's always so fresh, we have to get it after every meal! read more

Thank you. The meat is really tasty. I so glad to try your food. I really liked the choice of meat, and roasting. I didn't have time to take a picture, I ate it all. read more

WOW!!! Im adicted to this place! The meat are incredible. The staff are polite and the Cheff is Brazilian, this means the food is authentic. I love picanha, sausages, fraudinha and the chicken. A must try. Trust me you will be back Is a buffet system so you paid by the weight. My lunch cost around $9 read more

Been here 3x. Very friendly staff. Buffet has great selection of letucce and veges to build a nice sald. Nice assortment of prepared entrees and vegetables also on the buffet. Always fresh pineapple and sliced oranges. Besides the usual grilled meats they actually have chicken sausage. Always spend less than $7 for lunch and I walk out happy and full. Great option if you are getting your car waxed at Express or Oil changed at Jiffy. read more

The worst host ever! I went there many times and today I bring my family to taste some brazilian food and my mother was disrespected by the lady because she did one simple question. If you are looking for a good price go there, if you wanna good service and respect, including with the old people, don't go there never! read more

Depends what day of the week you go - the meats are fresh otherwise too well cooked. The salad bar is very fresh... read more

This place is a great deal. The meat is pretty good. And since it's by the lb. You wont feel too guilty trying to do an AYCE place. So definitely a win win or your stomach and your wallet! Picanha and the Tre Leches are the star here!! read more

Okay. I want to love this place. My family and I have had so many delightful meals here. But two things have happened that kill restaurants. First, they clearly have a new owner. The last couple of times we've been there the whole staff and management have been new. Second, a YouFit gym has opened next door, which is killing their parking lot. This place ought to be the best restaurant in Boca. But tonight we came home with a box of charcoal. Three meats, all burned beyond recognition. You can blame the guy running the rotisserie wall. But the real fault here is the owner/manager, who is saving on costs by keeping his meats on the spit for too long. We came at 6 p.m. on a Monday. That's dinner hour. The meat we were served and paid for should have been taken off the spit at least two hours before that. I want to echo the love coming from all the people here praising this place. But the dried-out burnt meat has become the standard here. We've been served like this three times in a row. That's a strikeout. I want to love this place. But the person or people who made this one of the best places to eat in Boca have given it over to some small-change management who don't mind serving you burnt meat. Be better! read more

Offers great variety of Brazilian food and meats. You serve yourself and then you pay based on the weight of your plate. Since they open at 11 the best time to stop by is around 12 since the food is still fresh. Dinner still offers the same variety of food, but it's typically food and meat left over from earlier in the day. If you want authentic Brazilian food, this is the place to eat. read more

Best Brazilian Food in Boca!! I thought when i moved to Boca from NJ I would be leaving quality Brazilian food back home. Little did I know Restaurante Brasil was just what I was looking for. It's a "por kilo" (pay by the pound) buffet with a cold bar, hot bar, and the main attraction the over when anywhere from 7-15 different kinds of meat depending on when you go. Objectively speaking the meat is as good, if not better than the high-end rodizio spots like Texas de Brazil. It's not a fancy place but the food is amazing, especially the meat selection read more

The food was great and seasoned perfectly. There is a lot to choose between. I would recommend the fried plantains and the short rib. I will definitely go back to this location for different items to try. read more

very expensive for no flavor. We spent 45$ on two plates where at La Granja it's 10-14$ per plate. Just really upset with the flavor. We don't mind spending it if it's good but it wasn't. Smells amazing but the smell is deceiving. it doesn't taste how it smells. Don't know what happened. read more

I wouldn't recommend going to this restaurant. I don't eat red meat they claim they were serving chicken sausage at the time. Yet my experience with the chicken sausage is that it tasted sweet and was pink after being grilled. read more

Great food, unfortunately, staff may be rude at times. I was out for lunch with my fiancé, we sat on a booth & we were rudely interrupted & asked to move tables by a waitress. When we asked why, she went off & turned her back to us. All we asked was why. read more

Just walked in and was completely ignored by five staff members. Not a hello. Nothing. I waited five minutes for someone to acknowledge me and tell me where to sit. So much for this place. Never coming back for more abuse. Thanx for nothing. read more

Quick and delicious Brazilian buffet, always a great option for either takeout or dine-in. Friendly staff and fresh food with reasonable prices, just can't beat it! read more

My first time in the area. This place was great pretty quiet for a weekday lunch time. The food was fantastic. The meat was melt in your mouth good. Can't wait to get back here! read more

Staff is alright, not that helpful or friendly. The food is nothing special either. I've given this place a couple of shots but I can't go again. There is just nothing to come back too. read more

If i could put 0 stars for this place i would. Terrible management and staff. Went there to eat and they put sugar in their vinaigrette without specifying it. My mom has diabetes and cannot eat anything that is sweet. She asked if the manager could change her plate because the vinaigrette was sweet and all the sauce of it had gotten on the rest of her food and he refused by saying it would cost him money by changing her plate. As soon as he said that we got up and walked out having to pay for the food without even eating it. Terrible experience, horrible manager! Terrible place!! Go somewhere else!! read more

Very good. Food by the pound. Nice salad bar and excellent meats. Nothing outta control but very solid typical Brasilian dishes. You must try the potato and chicken salad with the shoe string fries. They also have chicken hearts. You can also order food to go! read more
