    Pampas Churrascaria Is a somewhat unusual restaurant, but overall it's AOK in my book :-) To begin with, it doesn't have tne greatest location, but I suggest you overlook that to enter and try some of their food. Here are some of the pros and cons of paying this place a visit: Pros: The've got a decent, reasonably priced salad price with a wide selection of hot and cold dishes. You can purchase food here by the pound, or you can go with their AYCE options (salad bar and/or buffett) Cons: They don't serve alcohol, but if you (like me) prefer alcohol with your meal, then BYOB is an option The decor is nothing to write home about; the place actually looks a bit run down on the inside and the outside. There isn't a lot of space for guests - I counted a grand total of 10 tables inside, as well as some limited seating in the bar area. All things considered, if you want an inexpensive meal that isn't in any way fancy, there are many worse restaurants out there.

    Buffet style with walk up meat area. Beef is always good, you can choice how well you need it cooked. Places always hits

    Beef ribs (THE BEST) with yellow Brazilian rice and carrot salad (?) also amazing!!!

    If you love protein and some delicious rice, this is this place! It's the best for your buck. My favorite is the beef rib and medium steak, my bf likes the chicken bacon. We both love the yellow (vs white) rice. There's also potato salad, carrot with chip salad (??) that I also enjoy at the salad bar. You can choose AYCE or do by the pound. Whenever I go, it's usually $11-16, depending on how hungry I am. The service is alright but the food makes up for it. The ambiance is nice! Tip: If you get a bit of something from the salad bar, it's a better deal compared to the meat only price.

    Short Ribs and yellow rice.

    Recommend for a quick lunch or dinner if you like Brazilian BBQ style. Large area for sitting and feels so homey. Service is ok since it's a buffet style but the staffs are always friendly. The steak is awesome. Stop by for some amazing rice and steak if you are in the area!

    Passionfruit drink

    Came to try out Brazilian BBQ foods. There was an option to eat buffet style and an option to purchase based on per pound. We went for the all-you-can-eat buffet. For drink, I got the passionfruit drink. It was alright. I am not a fan of drinks with bubbly foams on top but it wasn't bad. Typical buffet quality foods. In my opinion, the plantains were the only thing that was worth trying. The stuffed grape leaves were also something new for me and it is not exactly my favorite. Everything else at the buffet was pretty basic, as in you don't have to specifically come here to try those foods like beans and rice and pico de gallo and salad, etc. Then we had the meats served at our table. Meats were good and flavorful. I would stay away from the lamb though because it was very dry. The beef and sausages were good. Lastly, I asked for a glass of water at the end and got what tasted like sink water. Can pretty much taste the fluorine / chlorine in the water, which is disgusting. It is one of my pet peeves and I judge a restaurant heavily on how they serve basic water. If they don't care how water taste like to the customers, then I can assume they will cut corners in the kitchen on other things. Overall, it was an experience. I wouldn't say I would come back but overall a typical buffet experience. What they lack in quality, they make up for in quantity. I wished it was more of a Brazilian flavor in the foods but most of the foods were basic and the price is very steep.

Every staffer we interacted with was excessively friendly and professional, and we discussed this throughout the meal. Starters: carpaccio, crab cakes, oysters, beef wonton. Crab cakes were the favorite, we described it as the perfect seafood stuffing. Beef wontons were a disappointment (for the price), and I wouldn't order them again. 4 rather small (essentially) empanada/rangoon, that didn't have much flavor on their own; came with a beef gravy, that wasn't a fit for me. For mains, we all ordered different steaks. Several were undercooked. I had ordered mine medium, and it was closer to rare; another ordered medium rare & described it as black and blue. Myself and a friend who ordered the ribeye felt they were tougher than we were expecting. The waitress did check in, and we opted not to send the steaks back (which is on us). The sides were quite good. Garlic mashed, Dijon glazed carrots, and asparagus with hollandaise. Carrots were the top winner. While we were all full, we opted in for dessert. Strawberry shortcake, dark chocolate & caramel bread pudding, and sorbetto. The pound cake was a bit too dense for me, and I like a bit more strawberry "sauce", that often gets sopped up by the cake. Bread pudding was perfect, dark chocolate crust on the top made it unique. Sorbetto was flavorful. Something to be aware of - there are lots of small upcharges, that aren't always clear (that a given thing costs more). Would you like bacon on your salad, $3; you're sharing that dessert, would you like an extra scoop of ice cream, $2.5. These may've been noted on the menu and I hadn't noticed. Each individual addition wasn't costly, but over the course of a meal, it did add up.

My son ordered the New York strip steak, and it was hands down the best steak he's ever had. My daughter had shrimp and tried some of the steak as well and loved both. My wife ordered the baked cod--it was incredibly fresh and cooked perfectly. She actually couldn't finish it, not because it wasn't amazing, but because she filled up on the appetizer and was genuinely disappointed she couldn't keep going. I had the hot honey chicken sandwich, and it was fantastic--great balance of heat and flavor. For an appetizer, we tried the BBQ chicken nachos.
