Restaurante Brasil Pompano Beach Reviews
No complaints here! 1st time dining here for a Saturday afternoon lunch. Everything was very good. Keep up the great work and we'll see you soon!
Amazing Brazilian buffet, food sold per pound. Always busy specially during lunch time. Their Sirloin meat is my favorite. Variety of cooked food, red meat, chicken, pork, and seafood. The way it works, you grab your plate, serve yourself anything you desire from the buffet, make your way to the grill area, and choose your meat from the different cuts available, go to the register and pay per pound. My go to place for a quick and affordable lunch.
Best service and food at all times. I love going there every time I visit Miami. I Don't mind driving 50min to get their deliciously food and an excellent service and of course very reasonable price.
I always stop by at this restaurant whenever crossing by, nice Brazilian bbq selection. They serve by pound so you pay what you can eat , my favorite here is BBQ lamb and if you eat beef the have huge selection of different high quality cuts.
Really like this place. We like to stop here when we got the Portuguese market next door. We’ve been to Restaurant Brazil several times and the food is always consistent and good. The have rodizio, but you pay by the pound, so if you love this truly of BBQ but don’t want to go to and pay for all you can eat, this is a great choice. It’s also a great lunch stop, delicious and economical. Give it a try, and there is a bakery next door and one in the market so you can get dessert. We’re heading to Restaurant Brazil for lunch today!
The food is actually pretty good, in a taste matter kind of thing. But the quality of the meat for me was OK. To be a Brazilian restaurant, but it could be me. Sometimes, my expectations are too high, but I definitely will come back again.
Excellent choice for Brazilian food when visiting Pompano Beach! Friendly staff and Tasty meat, we tried both the picanha and fraldinha and both were cooked to perfection just like in Brazil! Highly recommended. Although the restaurant is extremely small, it’s worth it because the food is great. Keep in mind It is not a buffet rather by weight so a personal advice would be to go nuts on the meat and not too much salad!! 😉
Delicious food buffet style and relaxed atmosphere. Just come in, grab a plate and enjoy!
been going since 2009 always a big fan
Delicious food, great service. Good value.
My best Brazilian buffet. Small place with good food buffet style. Good choice of meat cook Brazilian style. Price according to weight of plate. Excellent quality/prices
I really liked the way they make the meat.
Great Brazilian food spot! Great service in a very clean facility! A +! Every time we're here, the experience is the same: phenomenal! The young girl from Maceió is so personal, great attitude! We love you guys! 😍 Thank you for everything!
Favorite Brasilian 😍 cuisine, buffet style with great picanha at.reasonable price per lb but unfortunately a lot higher past 3 yrs with the harris-biden administration 😔!
Food is really good. Concept is great. Waitresses looking for tip but the place is self service...people leaving tip because..I don't know why. Will check if they play with the scale at the cashier.
Best Brazilian restaurant in town, great quality meat all you can eat by the pound. I've been going to this place for years, quality is always great
Best Lunch! The meat is so good. Pichana, Garlic Sirloin, & Lamb are phenomenal. I go here at least 2 times a week.
I love Restaurante Brasil, when you are in the mood for high quality home style Brazilian food, this is the spot to go. Food is always fresh, deliciously seasoned and price is unmatched for the weighed buffet style restaurant.
This is a little weird, its a brazilian churrascaria but they sell the food buffet style by the pound. Make a line, grab a plate, grab all the food that you want and weight the plate. Pay by the pound. Price isnt bad considering i got rib meat, picana and churrasco. My total was about 23 dollars with some sides as well. Food is actually really well seasoned and cut in front of you.
An extension of the Brasilian bakery that is to the right of the restaurant, this buffet is one that they charge you by the weight of your plate. They also have desserts that you pay for “à la cart”. The price for my plate did seem high but the quality and selection of meats seemed to be the reason for their prices.
I loved it. It was insanely busy but I am so glad I stayed around for it.. They have a great selection and the food is done perfectly. I've read reviews where people said this place was over priced but I did not think that at all. I think I got quite the bargain for what I paid.
Good fresh food everytime! This buffet style resturant always has a good choice of dishes and one of the best grilled meat for a reasonable price. Give it a try you won't forget it.
This hole in the wall is a great spot for delicious food. The thing that gets me the most excited about this place is the hot oil that is on the tables. Its spicy and flavorfull in all the right ways. The place is buffet serve yourself style with dine in and carry out. You can expect black beans, fresh sliced fruit, rice, pork rinds and plantains amongst other options. The meat is rotisserie style and there are at least 10 different options. They serve it to you as cooked or rare as you like. Dont forget the delicious desserts in the refrigerated display below the register. Everything is done by weight. All things aside Id say expect to pay 10-15$ for about a meal and a half worth of always DELICIOUS food. I just had surgery in Miami and 4 days later took an Uber here because I love this place.
I love the Food always fresh, even though prices went up its worth it. There were some employees without masks and some with. Good service throughout. 👍
I love this place...live pretty close so it's an easy place to get a meat fix when my wife puts too many greens in my diet LOL. It's not top dining, but that's not their thing. It's SOLID. Buffet style and pay by the pound. Go in and get your fix and move on with life. That's what I like.
I eat in this place every time I have chance great for lunchtime
Had lunch with some friends last week. Employees all following safety guidelines and asking guest to do the same, that's comforting. Variety of salads, entrees and sliced meats, all tasted fresh and home made. Prices very resonable, quality of food and service is excellent! Always happy to support a local restaurant.
When I realized this was in a strip mall, I no longer expectEd much. But this food was pretty good. Meats were very flavorful and I always love plantains. The buffet isn’t a large area and has about 20 total options. When you enter you go straight through the line to pick your food. They weigh it and give you a number. This tracks your continued trips if you want to go back for more. When finished the waitress will bring the bill to your table for payment. Staff was all very friendly. The place was fairly busy for a Monday night and several people getting to go orders. The only thing I didn’t care for was the flan. It was thick but not very flavorful — other than the sauce. And the fact it’s a strip mall didn’t have much of atmosphere.
This restaurant serves good meat cuts, Brazilian style, and charges by weight. The meat is good quality and juicy. The salad bar is great. The restaurant is clean, and the atmosphere is good; not a fancy restaurant. Parking is free and the restaurant family-oriented.
Amazing food, amazing service, amazing price. Everything is fresh, the meat is being cooked at the moment. I’ve been coming here for years now and this place never disappoints. I’ve brought family and many friends and they all say the same. It is always a pleasure coming here. I don’t live in SoFlo anymore, but every time I’m in town, this place is a must!
Food is really good and the service is fast… they constantly bring out fresh food as well. The price with the weight of the food is a little expensive tho
I can't say anything bad about this place, the food is incredible, holy smokes dude. You pick your own sides buffet style, but after you pick your sides, you go to the master of meats and pick your choice of chicken, pork, ribs, steak, garlic steak, just to name a few. All cuts are made your way rotisserie style: rare, medium, well done, etc. The food is just damn good, even the desserts, particularly the Tiramisu. You just can not go wrong with this place, lunch or dinner.
Always such a good place to go. Food was delicious and prices were reasonable.
This restaurant has very good food, enough choices and the meat is very tasty. The prices match today's market. The food is priced by the pound.
The food is absolutely delicious at this place. Went here for some Bday Lunch with Grandma and the Buffet style Brazilian Rodizio in this small flavor packed restaurant is phenomenal. Its a small space so finding a seat may be rough at times because everyone hits this place for the lunch rush. But the food is outstanding and totally worth the wait. Staff is super helpful and friendly. Not to mention the location is perfect because theres a grocery store and Brazilian bakery next door. Kill all your errands in one stop.
Some of the best Brazilian 🇧🇷 food you will ever eat I promise !!! The food is beyond amazing here. They have a salad 🥗 bar with lots to choose from when you walk in. Then after eating there salad with some amazing dressing’s to choose from, because I absolutely love ❤️ there salad dressing!! They have another bar with lots to choose from, beans,rice,meats 🍖 🥩 and so much more. After that you talk to the guy cooking with about 14 meats to choose from. Chicken 🍗 sausages, pork sausages, top sirloins, garlic sirloin, etc. So many delicious choices to choose from, you can’t go wrong. They also have a bunch of homemade 🍨 desserts to choose from when you’re done with your meal 🥘 . I stop here at least once a week to eat. I absolutely love this place!!! They weigh your plate of food and give you a number in case you want to go back for seconds, and you pay in the end. I love it 😊. Another must try in my book.
I recently dined at Restaurante Brasil, and it was an incredible experience! This Brazilian buffet truly impressed me with its vibrant atmosphere and mouth-watering food. The variety of dishes was amazing, from perfectly seasoned meats to fresh salads. I especially loved the feijoadacomfort food at its best! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. It felt like a cozy family gathe ring rather than just a meal out. If youre in Pompano Beach, do yourself a favor and check it out at 843 W Sample Rd. You wont regret it!
I love and love the waitresses' service! They are super cute and very attentive!!!
I've had Portuguese food before, but Brazilian cuisine, ANOTHER LEVEL!!! And the service, TOP NOTCH!!!
If you like feijoada, a Brazilian dish, please come here on Saturdays as that's the only day it's served.
The culinary creations presented were truly exceptional. Each dish was a masterpiece, showcasing incredible skill and attention to detail. The flavors were exquisite, offering a delightful journey for the palate. It was a truly memorable dining experience, exceeding all expectations. We were thoroughly impressed by the outstanding quality of the food.
Costela is the best I’ve ever had. So delicious and they have a variety of food options that changes. Definitely not cheap but worth every dollar.
Very welcoming! Good food. Been to several Brazilian restaurants and none are welcoming as this one. Very nice atmosphere and good food. Simple and good.
Good food, reasonable prices. We enjoyed it and will be back.
Restaurant Brazil is hands down my favorite spot in Pompano Beach! The staff is always so friendly, welcoming, and attentive — they truly make you feel at home. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Every visit is a great experience, and I always leave looking forward to my next meal here. Highly recommend to anyone who loves authentic, amazing food paired with excellent service!
Vine de Orlando para la playa, y buscando donde comer conseguí este lugar , Me guié por los comentarios y no tuvo pérdida todo todo estuvo excelente la carne muy buena el pollo de muy buen sabor absolutamente todo. El personal súper lindo y amable, no pierdan la oportunidad de comer aquí súper rico.
Excelente lugar de comida. Por 8.87 la libra , te sirves comes y luego pagas. Muy buena la carne, la atención la limpieza y el ambiente es informal no necesitas ir de gala...el precio es muy razonable ✔
Brazilian style buffet, food sold per bound. Variety of cooked food red meat, chicken, pork, and seafood. The way it works, you grap your plate, serve yourself anything you desire from the buffet, make your way to the grill area, and choose your meat from 8 different cuts available, go to the register and pay per bound. Make sure not to forget the Cashow juice and the flan for dessert.
Food is good and price is reasonable. Staff is friendly and they do clean the tables very fast for next customer. There is a line most of the time but it goes really fast. They have the basic brazilian food which is rice, black beans, farofa, kale, salads and a good variation of meat for BBQ including picanha, vaccio, regular beef, chicken, sausage and pork. This place is not all you can eat, it's by weight, that means you serve the amount you think you will eat and pay, beverage is separate. You receive a card and pay at the end to the waiter. Service was fast and well done. Parking is free.
Space could be a bit bigger especially during lunch. Seats are tight and most tables are shareable space. The assortment of food choices are pretty good because it's not only for meat lovers but for non-meat eaters as well (not vegan). Their chiffon collard greens are my favorite and the reason I keep going back! Their selection of meat choices are good! They have a person who slices the different cuts of meat off the skewers for you. If you have not been to a quick-service Brazilian restaurant before, you walk through a buffet line and place everything on your plate and you place your plate on the scale. Pricing is by weight. The waitress brings your pre-ordered drink to you and after you've eaten and depending on how many times you may go back up (beware, your plate of food has to be weighed every time), the waitress will bring you your receipt and you pay. They give you a card with a number on it and you provide that every time you go up and when you pay since that tracks your transactions.
They are strict with wearing a face mask and they have gloves for you to wear when you enter. When you shut down it'sgloves and mask off in your cubical. The food flavors were great! For $8.99 a pound, I just had all the meat. Great Brazilian flavors. They even had lamb.
Price is high but food is great. Not really a buffet or at least not an all you can eat buffet . Cost me $22 for a single plate and a 12 Oz. Coke. Receipt ask for tip but I didn't get service? No one waited on me..... plus the scale was at 0 lbs. and I got charged for the plate. That's why it's at 4 🌟 for me
I am not Brazilian but I enjoy eating the food from this place. It's set as a buffet but there is a sitting area for dining. The food is well seasoned like Caribbean food and the meat is fresh from the oven and there is a wide variety of meat to choose from and the cooking temperature to your liking. That's my favorite part. It's a bit pricy though because they weigh your food.
Very casual setting. You come in, grab a plate and get in line. Grab the food you want from the buffet and good Brazilian meats are served at the end of the line. After that they weigh your plate an you pay by weight. You can have a good meal for a fair price. I like this system, where rather than paying a fixed price for a buffet, your payment is actually proportional to the amount you eat. Why not 5 stars? The meats. They used to be outstanding, but lately the options are slimmer. And the guy serving the meats could be a bit more polite too.
If you love garlic, you love this place. But garlic doesn't like me.
Carnes en su punto. Variedad Excelente servicio. Restaurante sin pretensiones. Muy buena relación precio/calidad. Recomendado.... Estaba tan bueno que se me.olvido tomar fotos de la comida. Debo volver....
Excellent service. Open salad and food bar. Many different types of meats to choose. I chose the lamb and it was sliced for me off the skewer. Only thing, the lamb was overcooked and dry. These meat skewers are constantly kept warm and it must be the reason. Also, I ate early, way before noon. Was the lamb reheated from the previous day? Maybe.
Who was my waiter/waitress I never knew. Disappointed no smoked salmon offered in salad buffet. Hot food not good!
I came to this place very excited because in miami Brazilian food is expensive. When I got there, there was a giant line. The food was okay, didn’t have much flavor but for the price is not worth it. They weight the food on the scale with a extra plate on it. I payed $16 just for a plate with rice and beans and meat. In downtown Miami I can go to a place, eat a flavorful food (as much as I want) and get desert for the same price. It is not worth it
First time was great, we had to return. Second, third and last was not comparable. The meat is hard, and more cooked than you ask for. They charge by pound but the price varies depending how much bar and ratio of meat. Competitors don't charge like this and have better dishes overall. I wanted to like it a lot, unfortunately I don't. By far, I prefer Picahna Brazil in Boca instead.
The place has little variety of food! could be the day I went! in this case it was on a weekend! theoretically it was the day to have greater quality and quantity of options! It's not a free buffet, it's per pound! so pay attention to that if you are not going to spend a lot and eat little!
Great little place with honest food and a great BBQ! Not kidding! Better than lots of steak houses! Amazing sausage, too! Very affordable, easy parking Super clean Very smiling staff
Good food but price is ridiculous now. 39$ to take out
Food is always great here that’s why I’m always going but the service today I went for lunch was terrible the lady at the register needs to work on her customer skills. She didn’t ask my wife for anything to drink but did ask me and when we asked for it at the table she slammed it on the table, as a person in the hospitality industry it’s always important to make the customer want to come again but with arrogance like that just makes you feel not welcomed.
Outrageously expensive average Brazilian restaurant. This is NOT an all you can eat. You get a plate and fill it up with buffet style mediocre food and then you weigh it at the end. It starts at $15 a LBS but it quickly adds up with just basically rice and plantains and a bunch of nonsense. You end up spending $50 with tip and you don’t even realize it. Everything was below average. I don’t recommend this restaurant at all. You can go to a premium Brazilian steakhouse for a little bit less price but much better food
Tenía aproximadamente 4 años yendo a este restaurante casi todas las semanas, HASTA HOY!!!! Llegué y me senté en una mesa a esperar a un amigo que iba a comer conmigo, se me acerca una mesera, y me pregunta si estoy esperando a alguien, yo le digo, sí, me dice: voy a necesitar la mesa, necesito que te pares!!!!! quedé sin palabras, me paré indignado y me fui, es una lástima porque todas las demás meseras son un amor, y la comida es muy buena, NO VUELVO A VISITARLOS!!!!!
Las guarniciones no eran muy variadas, y a la hora de ir a servir la carne del Rodizio Elegí chorizo (era muy pequeño) y Picanha (me han dado apenas 4 lascas muy finas de muy poca carne) 😳🤷🏽♂️. Realmente imaginé que sería diferente 🤷🏽♂️, muy costoso para ir a comer han poca carne
This restaurant's food quality has dropped. There are no weekly food variations and the bbq chef serves burned meat. If you want to pay $$ to eat FAKE picanha this is the place to come. Picanha meat does not have nerves and is not overly fat. They are serving a mix of meat with picanha called colchão duro. Picanha is a trippoint steak that doesn't contain nerves and is soft to chew. This is the second restaurant after Feijão com Arroz that sells Fake picanha. The service is good. The waitresses are nice. Just the quality of meat that needs to get better since a plate can easily cost $30.
DO NOT GO HERE! Better places to have Brazilian food, that you’ll be treated decently and with respect! If I could give this place negative stars I would! Have been here before and food is extremely average and just left the establishment and had a horrendous experience. I put my items down at a table to go get in line to get food and a tremendously rude employee/waitress told me in a very rude tone and manner that I had to move my items and I couldn’t get a table. I told her I was expecting and she replied to me that in America there are no laws to protect people who are pregnant and continued being super obnoxious and rude. When I called the establishment asking to speak to the manager, whoever answered the phone asked what it was in regards to and I explained what happened and she became defensive and asked if I wanted to speak to the manager I had to go in person to see if he was available to talk to me because she couldn’t give him my info to have him call me and she couldn’t provide me with his info to email him directly or call him. Absolutely unacceptable and ridiculous and pathetic that in 2023 I had to deal with this unfortunate and absurd situation.
I have been to eat at this Brazilian diner, I had my dog with me, with his emotional support animal harness, I was invited to go out despite being in good standing, this can also be accepted, but this had to be written to the entrance of the door of the local, as it is done in various serious commercial establishments. All this had to be told to me at the entrance and not after paying, so they took my money by offering me a bad service. Save your money, go elsewhere.
Very disappointed with the way I was treated by one employee. She was very rude with me and my family. I heard from other friends that the same lady treated them bad as well. I don't understand why she isworking at that place dealibd with costumers if she has no matter and is constantly harassing clients. I hope the owner will do something about it.
On Friday 8/24 I picked up food from here, rice and a mix of meats. It takes me 5 minutes to get home. After my wife and I ate, about 2 hours after we started feeling bad. Next morning we both woke up throwing up, with chills, and body pains. We were unable to eat all day. I am soooo lucky I didn't give any to my 3 year old. Will never go back here, was a previous customer for past 3 years, no longer. Your lucky I don't sue!
Overrated!!!! I wish I could give them no star at all. Worst lunch experience of 2017. First of all, their food is not worth $8.49 per lb. The beef was salty and as dry as the desert sand. The best thing on my plate was the plaintains and of course they weren't ripe enough. Secondly, their customer service is horrible. 4 out of 4 of us was dissatisfied with our food. I spoke with a Mr. Domingez about our concerns he said he would call me back but that never happened. Finally, I'm just so disappointed because they got such high ratings. One of my coworkers paid $30 for food he couldn't enjoy. We would've gotten a better deal by going to El Pollo Loco or La Granja 😡 👎
The food is good, but the people who work or own this place need to change their attitudes towards people, they have no compassion. A women paid for a homeless women to have lunch with her but one of the workers said that they didnt want homeless people in the resturant. This is the last time i ever eat at this resturant.
Trying to give this place a chance because I live nearby and they are open until 9pmish but the food today was terrible, it gives you a very bad after taste in your mouth, like canned food, over priced , just very bad, even the rice and beans tastes like nothing.
I have eaten there twice now and the 2 times I got sick, the last time being the worst one. Food poisoning is no joke so I am not sure if they are keeping food that hasn’t been bought for days or if its the way they are preparing it…
It has gone down in quality. It used to be way better . Went over for lunch just today. Paid almost 80 bucks(tipping included). Food was ok. Too expensive for its questionable buffet quality, also not a whole lot in terms of variety . Kinda disappointing this time around…
15$ for 1lbs of food yall must be insane. Chicken heart was chewy, beans tasted like fish. No no nooo
I went to this restaurant with my family, our experience was bad. We all are sick now 😪 with vomiting and diarrhea. So sad because the lady was kinda generous, the food was acceptable. (No flavors at all) it's expensive and not worth the price at all. With that price you can eat at better place and better food.
DONT EVER GO TO THIS PLACE! as soon as i got there and started to get my food, i found a hair on the french fries, i told the guy who works at the grill, he called somebody to change it, but nobody never apologized. i take a seat and find another hair on my plate, at this point i didn’t want to be more stressed and i didn’t mind. but never coming back again, the customer service is really bad.
Horrible place! I took my coworkers to eat here during our lunch break from work and we had a horrible experience. One of my coworkers brought food from her house and the servers told her she couldn’t eat there. It was against their rules. She told me she was going to eat at her car, and I didn’t let her. I asked the servers to speak to the manager and there was no manager involved. On top of that, the servers were laughing at our faces by the time we are paying for the food to leave the restaurant and eat some place else. It was so embarrassing because I thought we were going to have a good time, but we ended up leaving. Never coming back again.
Never have meat I want. Waste of my time to drive here.
The service was poorly. We came with our service dog, they said that the dog had to be under the table laying under the table. Rude servers yelling at us in front of everyone. We just left and did not eat. You can go other place with a better price and food with better service.
