The Brazilian Grill, Hyannis My wife and I ate at the Brazilian Grill in Hyannis for lunch today. Short version: The restaurant is inviting, comfortable, and well laid out. The staff is engaging and friendly - even after my trying out the little bit of Portuguese I know! And, the food is plentiful and delicious! The value is tremendous! We are looking forward to going back again (maybe in a couple of weeks ) !! As we walked into the restaurant, we could see what looked like a pastry counter (they make their own cakes, flan, etc.) to the left and the massive "salad bar" directly ahead through an interior window. Once we were seated, we ordered drinks and the took a spin around the salad bar. That salad bar has so much more than salad! It is one of, if not the best salad bars I have seen. Sure, there were Caesar and garden salads with the usual toppings, but also hot options like "lobster soup" (like a bisque), squash soup, several fish dishes (cod, shrimp, etc.), some type of fritter that was delicious, polenta, mashed potato, sweet potatoes, etc. The cold options included veggies, cheeses, breads, various fruit, cold cuts including Prosciutto di Parma & pineapple, tabouleh, sliced mozzarella, tomato, and cucumber, seafood salad (muscles, shrimp, calamari, etc., tossed with a some veggies), hummus, chicken salad, potato salad, deviled eggs, and a dozen other dishes I can't think of at the moment. (See the attached pictures). What I sampled from the salad bar (both hot and cold) was excellent. The gauchos waited for us to return to our table. Soon after, they arrived with skewers of meat (Rodizio) ready to carve for our plates. They carve as you grab hold of the slice with what are essentially oversized sugar tongs. They will carve as much as you like from as many different meats as you like. They visited us multiple times... We had baby prime, prime sirloin, flank steak, homemade sausage (chorizo and also not hot), NY Strip, Filet, chicken wrapped in bacon, and a few others. After a while, we turned our signal cards over to show red (indicating Chega!, or "no more!"). We had a wonderful, leisurely lunch. No pictures of the Rodizio - I was too busy putting slices of meat on my plate! A gentleman seated at a nearby table heard us oohing and ahhing about the salad bar and the carved meats. He suggested we try the chocolate cake for dessert. We all laughed because we really didn't have room for dessert. But we ordered it anyway, and also a flan (I happen to love flan)! The desserts were amazing! We ordered a second piece of chocolate cake to take home! Our waitress brought us a small box for the meat trimmings for our dogs (and taught us the Portuguese word for dog), a box for some leftover dessert, and another box with the extra piece of chocolate cake, along with the bill. Since people usually ask, the entire bill (2 Rodizio, 2 alcoholic drinks, a coke, 3 desserts, and a generous tip) came to $175 including tax. An excellent value so far as we are concerned. Now, my wife and I have a standard for comparing restaurant bills on Cape Cod. It's based on a restaurant on the lower cape that was recommended to us a few years ago by some folks in this group, as well as by a local nearby shop owner who said it was good for burgers. At that restaurant, we each had a burger & fries (mine was a cheese burger). I also had a rather limp and unsubstantial side salad. We each had an alcoholic drink, and I had a coke as well. It was good, meaning not great - just "meh" or "OK." We did not go back because that "burger and fries" lunch came to $110 (all in with an average tip) ~3 years ago. Definitely not worth it. And so, it is how we judge good food/value... Today's equivalent (leaving off the desserts, adjusting the tax and tip accordingly to match the "burger and fries" lunch) was $140 (all in for steak and a substantial salad bar). Paying a little more for what we consider unquestionably and substantially better food and service is well worth it! No question that the pattern we have seen on Cape Cod continues: really excellent food for ~$30+/- more than just "OK" or "meh" food of lesser quality and average service. read more

Great food. Great selection. Very consistent place. The buffet has a lot for vegetarians too.

We have been coming here for years, today was by far our best meal yet! Service was as good as always, meat just kept coming but it was the first time we didn't have to wait for lamb chops to come out. Salad bar never disappoints! Renovations to the place were beautiful ! read more

Brazilian Grill - Rodizio ovens - Steakhouses Near Me - Hyannis, Massachusetts

Wonderful festive and welcoming atmosphere at this hopping Brazilian steakhouse in Cape Cod. There is an all you can eat cold and also hot buffet included in the price featuring salads, fresh fruits, cheeses, olives and much more in addition to the hot bar with beans, polenta, and many other choices. As tempting as it is, do not fill up on this. Then comes the round of table side meat offerings! A small card is given to pick green on one side which means 'yeah, bring on the meat", or a red "resting.' Now you do not have to accept any meat (even if on green) that you do not want. But they will try to entice you. All the meat we tried was excellent and the servers were friendly and jovial. No rush on how long of a break between meat devouring (although they may still come to table and ask). Drinks were great. We opted for 2 desserts which were brought out on a cart to showcase and describe so one could choose (not included in the price). Magnificent. Lovely decor, clean place (including restrooms) that was busy and full of energy from the moment we arrived till the moment we left. Amazing. Service was outstanding. Food was excellent ans ambiance was welcoming. Some parking in back lot and the rest is street parking which seems challenging even in the off season. We would highly recommend and would return in a heartbeat. read more

I was in Hyannis for a show at the Melody Tent and wanted to treat my brother and sister-in-law to a great meal. We went with Brazilian Grille, and it did not disappoint! The price was more than reasonable for everything it included. The buffet bar had everything you could imagine, from lobster bisque to fresh caprese salad. The meat kept coming and was seasoned to perfection. The service was exceptional, too. I can't stop raving about it to my friends and family! We sat in the front of the restaurant that has windows with natural light. Easy parking in the back. read more

We just celebrated my birthday here. The salad bar is delicious and extensive. The variety of skewers was impressive. The two waiters serving the meats were very attentive. Our only complaint would be that some of the meats were way too dry and over cooked. We were served charred lamb chops at first. They came back with ones that were delicious. Overall I would say to give it a try but be sure not to accept over cooked meats. read more

We really enjoyed the Rodzio and salad bar. Filet mignon was delicious and the cheese steak was tasty. Chicken wings were plump and juicy. I found the lamb chop dry and over salted.. Don't fill up on the salad bar even though it's tempting because you are here for the endless meat. I enjoyed a red sangria with my meal. The restaurant is quite noisy read more

Still a great experience in dining. This time far fewer meats brought around, no filet wrapped in bacon, brisket was an addition but just grizzle and fat. Very few meats were rare/medium rare, rather it was mainly very well done. Even the, usually amazing, garlic cheese rolls were dry and crunchy. That is except for the pineapple, which I prefer nicely caramelized, after explaining that, two slices off one pineapple came back charred. Requested lamb chops, brought out promptly and absolutely perfect. Don't usually get dessert, but the salted caramel cheesecake was an out of this world taste explosion. Perhaps an off night, I'll be back to enjoy again soon. read more

Great selection, great service Plenty to choose from for adults and kids, definitely will not leave hungry! read more

Went to the Brazilian Grill with my wife and infant baby. The food was amazing and the staff (Jose, Isaias, and Clarissa) were very accommodating and excellent to us. They went out of there way to make us feel special and even took a printed photo of us to take home. We will definitely be back in the near future. read more

Our server did the best he could with what he had to work with. I previewed the menu before we arrived but was very different upon arrival and found they were a mix with Italian - should've known by the name when we passed by. I ordered picanha which was supposed to be grilled and looked boiled. Asked for medium rare and it came out well-done on an iron skillet which of course continues to cook the meat. My cousin ordered the Moqueqa which tasted like frozen fish which is embarrassing coming from an area y the shore with tons of fresh fish! Not sure how new this place is but until they do something about the quality, I would not recommend. read more

Clarissa was the best, most attentive waitress - food was great but chocolate mousse out of the world! Ask for her!! read more

OK Brazilian Steakhouse. Just OK. My brother's soup from the salad bar was lukewarm, even cold, and the meat was so-so: not as well seasoned as other Brazilian Steakhouses in the U.S. Steaks also came to the table at room temperature, not hot off the barbecue. Every other Brazilian steakhouse serves their steaks hot. Their best meat was steak with cheese. Caipirinhas were bitter. They either used bottom shelf cachaça or didn't muddle the limes with sugar, or both. Service was prompt. We don't plan to come back... read more

delicious! We love the selection of meats and steak. Waiters are kind too. Great experience overall! We come back often!

4.5 stars Very reasonably priced and complete Brazilian rodizio experience. The service was good, there were a few standouts but overall everyone was friendly and accommodating. The salad bar has it all, salads, cheeses, even sushi and the hot food buffet was a good representation of some of the Brazilian classics. We came in right before 6pm on a Monday and were seated before the dinner rush without a reservation! The only complaint I have is that we were there for 1.5 hours and some of the meat options never made it to our table. I only saw 1 chicken heart skewer come out and the server completely skipped over our side of the dining room (right by the grill station and served first) to go to a specific table. The place is nice, plenty of seating and the outside area looked lovely. Very family friendly place. It's not fancy, but definitely a nicer restaurant. This place is better than the rodizio restaurants in Boston and a much better value. It also feels way more authentic. If you're in the area, add this place to your list! read more

A fun place with many good dishes on the buffet but the steaks on a stick were so salty it ruined it for us

This was the BEST Brazilian Steak house I've ever been to, nice, trendy & clean inside. Some of the water drinking glasses were a bit dirty but they rectified that right away. The two buffets were very impressive, I wouldn't take a vegan there but they did have a small amount of vegetarian options on the buffet. The meats were very well seasoned. Most of the time I was able to have the meat selection at my desired temperature, rare or medium rare. I was told a few times that some selections of meat that were sliced were going to be rare but they were well done. Of course we discarded those pieces quickly after first bite. I would suggest not drinking anything but water. Like don't fill up on cocktails, save room for your food. Some things were overly salty so if your concerned about blood pressure or have hypertension, beware, they are good at keeping your water glass filled. The servers were on top of their game, very attentive, especially towards the end, they check on you to see about desert. They have a desert cart they roll around! I honestly don't know how people fit desert but, it all looked amazing. All in all, when we come back to Hyannis, I'd love to come back again. It was worth every penny. read more

My wife and I made it a priority to visit the Brazilian Grill if we ever got back to the cape. It did not disappoint! The steaks were excellent, my wife loved the roasted pineapple! The salad bar is an understatement, it contains so much more that would have been worth the price with out the Fantastic steaks. Just a marvelous setting with great staff. Marco the manager even brought out this delicious "Dinosaur Steak" that he said he wants to start offering. it was so tender and delicious, I just wish he offered it sooner I would have eaten even more. We left full but so content! Highly recommend the Brazilian Grill in Hyannis you will not be disappointed! read more

We brought a friend here to celebrate her birthday and were not disappointed. They have a great selection. The Brazilians from the Boston area recommended to us as one of the best. read more

The food here was fantastic, and the staff coming around really made sure we had enough meat for the year. Seems like a lot of people celebrate their birthdays here, and understandably so. At first, the cinammon pineapple wasn't for me as it was too sweet, but the flavor eventually grew on me and I couldn't have enough, definitely a recommendation to try, as it is a good contrast to the salty meaty flavors. Brazilian Grill rivals New York favorites like Fogo De Chao and it has plenty of variety from the salad, appetizer and fruit bar. There seems to be a dress code here, but they seem quite lax with it, as some families came in t-shirt and shorts. The only criticism from my end was that the front desk hostess was quite rude and ignored me on two separate occasions. Maybe it was an off day for her, but it left me quite unhappy. Perhaps one day when I come back I will return the last star to this place. read more

YES A THOUSAND TIMES! Food? DELICIOUS! Service? Impeccably delightful. Kitchen? CLEAN and bustling with energy and spitting out food like there is no tomorrow! Many MANY Brazilians come from all over New England for a reason. The quality of the beef and the food is fantastic. It is NOT Fogo de Chao. No. It is a family owned, family style churrascaria. With fantastic food, and even better people! read more

It is with great pleasure that I write this review. My family and I have been frequenting Brazilian Grill for many years, and every visit is a delightful experience. From the moment we walk through the door, we are greeted by Marisela, whose warm and welcoming smile makes us feel right at home. We are then taken care of by a dedicated team of professionals who go above and beyond to ensure we feel welcomed and valued. The staff members--Carla, Bruna, Pedrinho, Fabio, Issais, Nivaldoi, and many others--consistently provide exceptional service, making each visit truly unforgettable. I wholeheartedly recommend Brazilian Grill as one of the best restaurants in the area. read more

Absolutely the best adventure of Beef that I've ever experienced! The variety that the Gauchos bring around is astounding so you better have an empty stomach when you arrive. It is not inexpensive so make it worth it by skipping lunch and be prepared for the huge dinner ! read more

I made a reservation ahead of time because I wasn't sure how busy they got on a Friday afternoon. When we got there, it was moderately busy and there was a wedding going on. The restaurant was actually a lot larger than it appeared and aesthetically pleasing on the outside. Before the meats start coming around, there is a pretty large buffet available with cold salads, sushi, meats, rice and other options. There were plenty of delicious options to choose from and something for everyone. Once the meat started to come around, that was the star of the show. The meats were very tasty and we enjoyed our meal. There just seemed to be a bit of inconsistency regarding when the meats would go out and what meats. Sometimes we would wait a very long time in between and sometimes we would be offered the same meat multiple times. Nonetheless, we were full before we knew it! I don't go to restaurants like that very often but definitely enjoy when we can indulge. We had a great meal. read more

Good: Amazing food! Delicious roasted meats (and the pineapple is killer), outstanding hot/cold bar, fantastic selection, worth the visit. Bad: One may say it is a little pricey, but I promise you this; you get what you pay for! We visit at least once a year when in the area and have always been very satisfied with the great food and even better staff! read more

We sat at the bar for lunch- I ordered a drink off the menu, the fresh berry with gin, they didn't have the fruit to make it. Two of us orders the nugget which had plenty of choices and one of the biggest I have ever seen. The vegetables are mostly served cold but one or two were hot. So many new choices here- tripe soup, clam Chowder, fried cheese bread, and several Brazilian dishes. No need to leave here hungry. The bartender did not speak much English but we were fine and got what we needed. The hot sauce that they have on the tables is very hot! Be careful. We had a good experience and loved the atmosphere. Ended the lunch with a cappuccino- one of the best I've had. read more

$22 Rodizio (all you can eat) is a steal for Brazilian BBQ. My personal favorites from the grill are the following: Leg of Lamb Picanha (Top Sirloin) Chicken hearts Pineapple (seasoned with cinnamon and sugar) Garlic Bread They do have a salad bar. Their Caesar salad is overdressed, needs less dressing. Their clam chowder needs a lot of work, doesn't taste or look like clam chowder at all. You can order sides, but quality is mediocre. I would recommend just sticking to items from the grill. read more

Awful. Ordered $180 worth of steak and chicken. I believe the steak was boiled then seared. No flavor whatsoever. I think they skipped a step. It actually was not spiced at all. I will never go back as a local Cape Codder. It has been better in the past. Maybe a new chef? My wife and I had to redo a meal in the skillet--with spices. Unique and unfortunate experience. read more

Nice place! The food was tasty Brazilian steakhouse fare, and the service was good. Fair warning, though... This place gets very busy on weekends during tourist season, so make a reservation! read more

What went well? The whole experience. Buffet style. Great salad bar, but the best part are the choices of various type of meats that are offered. They are brought to your table and you choose the ones you want and they cut it right there in front of you. All of it was delicious. The service staff was extraordinary as well taking care of all you needs. My new favorite restaurant. read more

This place is absolutely fantastic. The food is incredible my favorite dish is the chicken hearts amazing seasoning and flavors. The buttermilk bisque is to die for. The buffet is loaded with delicious sides and the flavorful meat dishes are brought to your table throughout your meal. The service is efficient and everyone is super nice. The ambiance is super chill and beautiful. Finishing your meal off with one of the amazing desert options is the way to end a perfect meal. read more

My Son and Daughter in law took me to Brazilian Grill on the last night of my Thanksgiving visit. The buffet itself was substantial in its own right, the Latin food offerings being amongst my favorites. Likewise, the table service was decadent--offering fare from Grilled pineapple to fillet mignon. And the service was excellent! Brazilian Grill was the perfect ending to a delightful Thanksgiving visit! I highly recommend it! read more

Unlike your typical Brazilian steakhouse or chain restaurant, this establishment is of a higher standard. With a wide variety of authentic food, both hot and cold, plus soups and additional items, there is something for everyone. Please don't forget their desserts and your coffee/expresso. My favorite is the tres leche and the wife loves it as well as their brigadero. You can choose from different dining rooms depending on the occasion and company you are with, which is convenient if you're on a date or more of a family dinner outing with a larger crowd or just by yourself. I like to stop by every time I am on the main land, if not for food because of timing, then for desserts to bring back to ACK. read more

Excellent food, attentive service, friendly staff. Nice interiors. Wish I lived closer!

Downtown Hyannis but they have their own lot which is helpful for parking. For dinner we made reservations but at 6pm on a Tuesday in the summer we didn't need to, there was no wait. The "salad bar" is plentiful, great hot and cold options. I wish they were labeled better, couldn't figure out what was what. Once you get back to your seat you will start seeing the meat come around. The meat is great, but again it was hard to understand the person serving it due to the loud background noise and I wasn't quite sure what we were getting. I also wish they mixed up the proteins. The first 5 minutes we were sitting there it was all beef related items. By the time the chicken came around we had no room! If you're looking for something different downtown check it out! read more

When we 1st came in we were a little confused. Checked Yelp and several reviews complained of bad service. We decided to take a chance. Got in early and thank goodness as it filled up quickly. The staff was amazing at instructing us on how it works. 1st you sit order your drink and on the table is a marker for each person. Green means yes I want meat and red means either I want a minute or I'm full. Then you go to the magnificent salad bar and walk all the way around as there are different items on each side. Then go to your table and the servers not waiters continually come out with different types of steak, chicken, sausage, lamb, pork tenderloin... it was incredible!!! Save a spot for dessert or like we got 2 different and shared. OMG soooo good. It was pretty quiet for the amount of people that were in there. Beautiful decor and the smells from the cooking meets... be patient, enjoy and you won't be disappointed! read more
