I've eaten at Fogo de Chão quite a few times over the years, and what stands out most is the…read moreconsistency. Restaurants can have off nights. Service can slip. Food quality can vary. Somehow, every time I've come here, the experience has been excellent. I honestly cannot remember a single bad meal. This isn't a place I visit every week or even every month. It's more of a special occasion destination every few months. Part of the reason is that every visit turns into an event. We always go for the full experience, and by the time we leave, we're completely stuffed, happy, and already talking about when we'll come back. The quality of the food is outstanding. Everything arrives hot, flavorful, and expertly prepared. Whether it's one of the signature cuts of beef, lamb, chicken, pork, or something from the Market Table, I've yet to find an item that disappointed me. Usually, by the end of the meal, I've lost track of how many different things I've tried because I'm too busy enjoying all of it. One thing that always makes me laugh is the famous red and green card system. In theory, you flip the card to green when you want more food and red when you need a break. In reality, after a few visits, the staff seems to remember what you like. I've had servers and gauchos walk by with cuts they know I enjoy and offer them before I even have a chance to flip the card. That's not a complaint. It's actually one of the reasons the experience feels so personal. The service deserves just as much praise as the food. From the moment you walk through the door, you're welcomed warmly. Throughout the meal, someone is always checking to make sure you're enjoying yourself, asking if you need anything, and making sure the experience lives up to expectations. It never feels forced or scripted. The staff genuinely seems to care that you're having a great time. We usually arrive around 5:00 or 5:30, before the dinner rush really gets going. That timing has always worked well for us and allows for a relaxed, enjoyable meal without feeling crowded or rushed. Fogo de Chão isn't inexpensive, but that's because you're getting an experience, not just a meal. Between the quality of the food, the attention from the staff, and the overall atmosphere, I've always felt like I got my money's worth. At this point, if someone asks me where to go in Providence for a memorable dinner, Fogo de Chão is always near the top of my list. Fantastic food, exceptional service, and a level of consistency that is surprisingly rare these days. Five stars without hesitation.

Visited Churrascaria Tropeiro's Grill on Saturday night and we had an awesome dinner experience…read more Our party of four was seated promptly at our reservation time. The dining room is very attractive and nicely decorated, and the servers were polite, friendly, and attentive. Our drink orders were taken quickly, and the caipirinhas were both delicious. We made our first trip to the buffet and bar and there were so many choices! Hearts of palm, stuffed grape leaves, everything you could want for a salad bar, cheeses, hot sides, traditional Brazilian meat dishes, cheese rolls, fish, clam chowder and much, much more. While we were enjoying these items back at our table, we also turned our cards to green and strted experiencing the freshly sliced meats. Such a variety of beef cuts, lamb, chicken, sausage, and more. It was all super high quality, very tender, well seasoned, and I honestly don't know which were my favorites. Meat service was frequent - we were never without food and really never had to wait. They just kept coming and coming, and we kept trying more succulent meats. We finished our meal with the most delicious grilled pineapple and also the cheese with honey. Yum! Although there is a lovely dessert menu, we were too full to partake, and the pineapple and cheese hit the spot. The price for the unlimited buffet and meats is just under $50 per person, which at first seems a bit pricey, but when you look at all of the options and the quality of both the buffet and the meats, it is really a great deal! this is the third Brazilian restaurant I've been to, having been to one in Providence and one in Ogunquit, and Churrascaria Tropeiro's Grill is by far the best out of the three. I will definitely be back!

Stopped by here after finding my other favorite local place was closed on a Sunday afternoon…read more Walked in and was immediately charmed by the cute diner interior with small tables as well as stools up against a tiled counter area by a grill. There was a lady putting together puzzles on one of the back tables. There was a simple typical diner menu up on the wall. The man who owned the place came up to us and said they'd stopped serving breakfast but they had a buffet available for $9.99/plate and walked us over to the place and showed us what the options were. It was a terrific arrangement of things. There are daily specials. Sunday's specials were chicken lasagna [delicious and cheesy] and a pork and bean entree with rice and another one that I can't remember (they will give you a menu to take home). There were also standard rice and beans and a few other meat dishes all of which were different and tasty. You could also make yourself a salad but I suspect the place would not be very satisfying for vegetarians. There is a cooler full of local and esoteric sodas including pineapple and regular and diet guarana sodas. We filled up a few platefuls of food while we were there and ate and talked to the friendly owner about why he did or did not stock certain brands of soda and what he suggested for dessert. We were full so we went with a few containers of take home rice pudding which were sweet and cinnamon-y and amazing. I'm not even entirely sure what I ate at this place, but I really enjoyed the variety of foods, the neat decor and the friendly atmosphere. It's across from a storefront library and otherwise not the sort of place you might think you'd find food this good.

Not a big menu at all... pretty basic breakfast options. But definitely a good value (got 2 pancakes, eggs, ham w/ cheese, bacon, homefries and coffee for around $6!).

Again, limited variety for lunch, but they change up their specials everyday.

Ponto Um is the place to go for great Brazilian food in Providence at a budget friendly price…read more Their buffet has a wide selection of dishes, including feijoada (black bean stew) and frango com catupiry (chicken baked with a creamy Brazilian cheese that resembles cream cheese-- but better). They have a great selection of meats as well including different cuts of beef (including picanha), varied sausages, chicken, etc. They also sell bulk packs of classic Brazilian snacks like esfihas (the Brazilian style of Middle Eastern flatbreads) and pão de queijo (cheesy bread) that are perfect for larger get togethers. You can order a la carte and they have a variety of Brazilian desserts like flan and brigadeiros (chocolate truffles). Will definitely be back!

Stopped in the Providence Place Mall for the first time in years and noticed this place in the Food…read morecourt. I love Brazilian food so I had to try it. And the other food court options were extremely busy. I'm glad I did. I ordered their Option 3, which was Picanha Steak plus rice and beans. The picture might not give it justice but there was a hefty amount of meat. It was a little salty but also savory that it melted in your mouth. I got a heaping pile of white rice with pinto beans. Both were very tasty and complimented the meat with every bite I took. There were other rice and bean options, but I'm not the biggest fan of black beans. For a regional mall chain, it definitely was good. Plus, I had to have a can of Guaraná to wash it all down! All together with tax it came to roughly $21 but it was worth it. I'll definitely try other option they have next time I'm in the area or at another location.

I have been wanting to try Los Andes and was thrilled to finally pay it a visit…read more We sat in the courtyard patio, which was absolutely lovely. The ambiance (and the service) is the star of the show at Los Andes. The relaxing South American music, the koi pond, the hum of happy diners all contributed to a lovely atmosphere. Our server was a true delight, very attentive, making great recommendations. We did not order desert but one of our party had a birthday and when we informed him we had no room for desert he brought out a plate with happy birthday drizzled in chocolate with a small mound of whipped cream and a strawberry. A very nice touch. I ordered a steak dish with the goal of getting as many South American flavors in my dish as possible- it came with a delightful cold salad, very good chimichurri, fried yuca, and a side of cheesy rice. The steak was cooked rare to my liking, which isn't always the case. It was a lot of food, beware. We started with some empanadas- which were also good, and this made it a Thanksgiving level feast. My party also enjoyed their dishes. Overall it was a lovely dinner! We look forward to returning.
