Meats were good, but the salad and side options were lacking.
I have been to other Brazilian BBQs and while they were all the all you can keep varieties (while this one gives you the option of all-you-can-eat or by the pound) but at the others I have been to there were always hard cheeses, prosciutto, various sauces to try, plethora of salads and sides…..this one had only a few options.
But it was $25 for all you can eat while my wife got a single plate by the pound and that was $15 so for the price it was not a bad deal. I’m just used to more options, especially since I am on Keto there were few sides I could have.
The last thing I will mention are the lack of real plates and fountain beverages. There were bottles and cans of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages but no fountain sodas (there are special beverages they make there but I’m talking more about Diet Coke or seltzer from a fountain). And (as pictured) there are no real plates but all take out options or paper plates (that easily get soggy).
I may very well go back, but my expectations will be in check.

First time going to the Meriden location we usually go to the location In Waterbury . This spot is very clean and well kept . The food was EXCELLENT and the chef and the young man at the register were both great. We will be back

The food is absolutely amazing. Cooked over real charcoal the meats were so flavorful. Big nice clean restaurant with a big buffet and then the barbecue charcoal grilled meat option. First time in and we'll be a regular. You pay by weight which is awesome you get as much or as little as you like and there's tons of selections.

Great food, the meat was incredibly tender, fall off of the bone stuff. The sides were great, I had the Spanish rice and the carrot broccoli mix, tempted by the mashed potatoes but didn’t have room. There was a salad bar too. Large selection of soda and juices, and dessert looked fantastic. Definitely coming back here.

We enjoyed a very satisfying dinner. This is a great alternative if you enjoy traditional Brazilian style restaurants. The side dishes and salads are presented on a help yourself buffet. A great variety of meats are available behind the counter. Plates are weighed, so you only pay for what you take. The staff is super pleasant and very sweet. This is definitely a great choice for casual dining!

I was busy doing work to get ahead of my week and once the car door was opened I smelled amazing flavour. After looking up from my tech device, we were literally parked at the door entrance. After getting my dishes packed to go with food then salad, choice of meat was offered. Amazing taste and smells matched effortlessly.
