They had all the usual Thanksgiving foods along with the regular Texas de Brazil selections, so there was no shortage of options. The cranberry sauce wasn't my favorite, but the overall food and vibe made up for it. The servers *would not stop* coming by the table with meat selections, we could barely catch our breath before another skewer appeared. Not exactly a complaint, just impressive dedication. Our waiter, however, was perfect and kept everything running smoothly. The floors were extremely slippery, which was a little alarming, but guest services were excellent. We also made a last-minute reservation, and it was surprisingly easy. Overall, it was a fun, memorable meal and a great way to spend my Thanksgiving.

It was our 1st time here and the waiter did a great job of explaining how everything works and how the food will be served. We got the full experience. The salad bar has waaayyyy more than just salad but don't get caught up there bc when they start bringing the food/meats to your table you might be a little overwhelmed. I tried everything lol. I had a lamb chop for the 1st time it was amazingly delicious. Flank steak might be new favorite cut. Filet mignon wrapped with bacon. They just keep bringing food to you like you're a "King" or "Queen"!! There was the grilled pineapple and they also had this honey cheese. I'm getting hungry and having flashbacks as aim writing. I can't wait to go back. It's a very nice intimate setting with music playing but just loud enough to hear and still have a conversation. I will definitely be back soon. It's so much more I can say but I think you have to just experience it for yourself. Also remember this all you can eat so bring your appetite. Next time I'll add more pics.

Very tasty Brazilian steakhouse in not the nicest place…read more I've been to this location twice before. They are across from a local cinema, with a little bit of parking in the front. There's a bunch of buffett tables with hot and cold dishes. You get a tin carry-out container, you fill it with what you want, then head to the spits to get your meats. The guys behind the counter will take out the meat you want and will carve you however much you would like. They charge by the pound, you weigh your foods then pay at the counter. It's very much like a buffett in terms of the ring out process. The foods fresh, tasty, and abundant. They are not labeled well, so some things are guesswork as to what you get. But although you can't identify some things, it's going to taste good. Price is reasonable for the portions. It's not pretty, but it's tasty

My…read morelunch certainly "filled me up", but like other fellow Yelpers have stated in their reviews, some of the meat selections were very salty. The meats that were not as salty tasting were on the bland side, I just kinda expected to experience "more flavor", and it simply just wasn't there. I lived in the Deep South for a year, and the Q found in that region simply blows away what I experienced today. Maybe it's not a fair comparison, but I couldn't help but think that. The location of the Banana Brasil Grille is conveniently located near Rt8, so it was easy to get back on to the highway to continue my journey after my lunch. Overall, I'd say it was a mediocre lunch, I can't see a reason for a return visit. A weak 3 Star Rating, IMO.

Their lineup offers nine entrees served with two sides ($12-$19) and eight solo sides ($6-$7). The entrees are three kabob plates (Churrasquinho) with a half pound of chicken, pork or beef and two sides, steak, salmon or stew specialties, and two vegetarian options. I wanted to try their Feijoada ($15) "The Most Popular Brazilian Dish" - an enticing stew of black beans, sausage, bacon, beef, rice, plantains and kale. But it wasn't available right away and I didn't want to wait 20 minutes for it to get cooked up. Instead, I went for an order of Churrasquinho with Chicken and sides of Kale and Yucca fries for $16. It was delicious!! Everything on the plate was delicious. The grilled chicken was tender and flavorful with nice grill marks. It was stellar. The Yucca fries were very good too, yes, they tasted a lot like French Fries, but the texture and taste were slightly different. And the kale surprised me a lot -it was soft and tender and delicious, nothing like the cardboard or Styrofoam-like kale I had experience with. The crowning glory of my lunch came when the cook asked "Do you want some of our hot sauce?" Of course I did, and he handed me a quarter cup plastic container of beige/orange sauce. Prepare yourself before you try it because it is nuclear! Of course I loved it. I also liked the way the owner walked over during my meal and asked how I liked it. We exchanged some banter about his hot sauce! The Gulla Grille was a hit for me.
