There is a reason why of all the food stalls at The Original Farmers Market, Pampas Grill always has the longest line. It is that. damn. good. FOOD: Chicken Stroganoff - 9.1 / 10 When someone says "Brazilian", I get that most people immediately think of grilled meat & you wouldn't be wrong. But don't sleep on the stroganoff. It's such an underrated "side" dish. Truth be told, I could just get their stroganoff & be happy as a clam. Pieces of real chicken in a viscous tomato-cream stew. Pro-Tip: pour the stroganoff on their mashed potatoes like a gravy & thank me later. Pão de queijo - 9.1 / 10 The signature bread of Brazil. Small rolls of bready goodness. But what makes their bread stand out? The bits of real cheese that are baked into the bread. No butter needed here. Cheese literally makes everything better. Rice + Beans - 8.3 / 10 The quintessential side dish known as "Moros y Cristianos". They are obviously served separately, but do the traditional move & pour your beans on top of your rice. Platanos - 8.2 / 10 Fried plantains. I prefer mine cooked "well done" so that get those crisp burnt edges. I also believe that cooking them longer makes them sweeter. This is like my "desserts" of sorts since it's a sweet bite. Picanha - 8.6 / 10 The definitive meat of Brazil. If there was only 1 meat - it is this. Flavorful when cooked right. Salted, dipped-in-water, then grilled. Simple. Every Brazilian place should be judged by their Picanha. Linguiça - 8.6 / 10 Sausage. Properly plump + juicy. Well-cooked with a bit of sweetness. The pork is a nice contrast to overwhelming amount of beef that is served at any Brazilian churrascaria. Lamb leg - 8.4 / 10 A lot of people can be apprehensive when it comes to lamb. Get over it. If it's properly cooked - grilled over an open flame, it can arguably beat out a really good piece of grilled beef. Slightly gamier in taste, it's a very welcome addition that brings variety to the table. Picanha ao Alho - 8.7 / 10 Like the aforementioned Picanha but with the addition of garlic. Who doesn't love garlic? Maminha - 8.6 / 10 Their new Tri-Tip. Taste like their signature regular picanha, but with a slightly more tender tetxture. Personally, I think that tri-tip tends to taste a bit beefier than a typical sirloin cap (picanha). Yes, they weigh your plate for the price. Yes, the factor out the weight of the plate.
When at the grove, Pampas Grill! Spicy Chicken with the Jalapeño sauce is so delicious!! Garlic Beef is a close second. I am always happy to eat all that Spicy Chicken!
It's honestly rare for me to find Brazilian food, so I was really excited to try this place. I'm a huge fan of black beans and plantains, and all of the meat options looked so good being cut right in front of you. I got the sirloin cap and lamb leg. The sirloin cap was amazing, and while I probably wouldn't get the lamb again because it was a little tough, that's honestly on me for trying to get everything. I also really liked the whole concept here. The plates are weighed, and you self serve all your sides, which makes it feel really fun and customizable. I went on a Tuesday afternoon and the line was pretty short, so I'd definitely recommend going around then if you can.
Delicious food as always, you serve yourself however the food is prepared wonderful so service is a 50/50, being at the farmers market it's got a great feel as your sitting enjoying your food. The only thing that is kind of a turn off is this time we got bread and potato salad so we served ourself 100% and when checking out the male working the register was very short and seemed annoyed when I gave a $2.00 tip on a $6.00 bill.
I came here as I read great ratings online. The meat flavor was good, however, the self serve bar food was not very hot. It felt warm but not what you expect your food to be when you get fresh food. The same went for the meat. The meat was slightly warm at best, which detracted a bit from the experience. The service was great however - they are fast and they keep the line moving. The seating outside is the general farmers market seating at the grove. Aside from the temperature of the food, it was pretty good.
I have been here for years because parking here is very difficult. We got couple types of beef, potato salad, Caesar salad, noodle and cheese rolls to share. The line was long but it moved pretty quickly. The meats were flavorful and tender. Caesar salad was kind of soggy. The cheese bread and potato salad were very good. I wish they have a location closer to me.
Pampas Grill is my go-to spot. Better than the AYCE of Fogo de Chao. You can spend $14-20 per person and get an appetizing meal of sides and meats that will fill you to satisfaction. My review of Pampas is ***** five stars My review of Farmer's Market Parking would be Zero 0 Stars... Pampas has nothing to do with the parking or parking policy and I feel are also victims alongside customers of the Farmer's Market greedy parking system. Tuesday 12-30-25, coming to Farmers Market (and The Grove, adjacent to Farmer's Market) during the festive holidays to support the local merchants, ended up being a visit of regret. Parking at the Farmer's Market is horrendous to the degree that their policy, validation and rates they charge customers to shop there is very counterintuitive to supporting their retailers and restaurants to generate foot traffic and business. I wonder if the food court / shopping center's clients (those who run a business here) know of this mismanagement that affects their business? The food court / shopping center's parking system is disingenuous to supporting retailers and customers. You park, you eat, you shop and buy, hang out for maybe 2-3 hours, spend money and even with a merchant parking validation you pay $17 to park and support the center's businesses. The retailers who I'm sure pay a hefty rent should be in an uproar to this issue which if resolved could mean a surge in customers and income. Let the public support the merchants and make parking FREE for patrons who make purchases.
Delicious food. I loved the garlic chicken and spicy chicken. Worth the price and wait in line, great service. Inside The Grove's farmer's market so very busy ambiance. Definitely would go back
Today, it was a 5-star experience. This Brazilian spot is located in The Grove's Farmers Market, so always big lines. Today, however, it was fewer people, friendly fast service and my plate got to me pretty quickly. I got myself some tasty tomato salad, rice, delicious fried plantains and 2 kinds of churrasco meats- some top sirloin and sirloin cap. Both meats were very juicy, right off the grill, thinly sliced and served to my plate. Although both meats were similar in taste and its soft texture, they still were incredibly delicious. The green and orange salsa that they give you was a great spicy dipping sauce for the meats and for the yummy fried plantains. Great quick lunch! Will be back for more!
Finally decided to join the queue to see what the fuss is all about here. I was pleasantly surprised. The churrascaria here is as good as those higher end AYCE spots that charge high premiums. The cuts are well seasoned and tenderly grilled. More flavor than simply salt and pepper like most other places. Pricing is fair for the quality and quantity of protein and side dishes. This $26 mouth watering plate is outstanding.
I usually go to the Culver City location but was at the grove today and we were hungry. Food always hits, they have a variety of salads and hot side dishes and the usual cuts of meat. My go to is always sausage and top sirloin with plantains and greens.
Pay by weight spot, where you can enjoy Brazilian steakhouse style churrasco dining!! Vegetables are incredibly tasty and fresh. We had beets, artichoke hearts, and broccoli. They also did sides well- the fried plantains and yucca were perfectly fried. For meat, we tried the top sirloin and sirloin cap. So tender and well flavored. The meat is continuously rotating and they'll cut it to your liking. In the Farmer's Market. Worth the line!
Im Brazilian so I love trying new and existing spots that offer meals from my homeland! Here you will find friendly service and awesome tasting barbecue prepared fresh for you to pick from! The only kinda negative thing about this place is that you will have to eat outside and the food generally doesn't stay hot by the time you grab a table. It is still worth it for us to drive about an hour to come here once in a while to have authentic Brazilian "churrasco" experience. Try it!

My family and I decided to go to Pampas Grill to try the food and walk around the Original Farmer's Market. We took a rideshare there. We walked around and looked at different restaurants. When we found Pampas we noticed that you grab a tray and walk around and self serve the different food items that were offered. When you get to the meat section you tell the person working behind the counter what you would like, they cut off the meat, put it on the plate and you move on. They weigh your plate and then you pay. For my meal I tried several different types of meat, a stew, mashed potatoes, rice, pasta, and rolls. It was a lot of food and very filling. The meat was definitely the best part of the meal. I chose to get two different types of beef, a serving of stew, and some chicken. Both the beef and the chicken were tender and full of flavor. The stew was delicious. I actually served it over my rice and mixed it together for added texture. The pasta and the rice were al dente and honestly I would have preferred them to be a little more tender than firm. The potatoes were good. They had a slightly salty flavor and were smooth. The rolls were good as they were small, with a semi crispy exterior and a soft interior. Overall Pampas Grill is located in a cool outdoor atmosphere. It has friendly service and the food was very filling and flavorful. read more

I've been coming to this farmers market for years, and honestly, I've never stopped here to eat. Today, our son decided to try it because he's a big steak lover, so we figured we'd give it a try too. The portions were good, and the meat had a nice grilled flavor. They also had a few different side dishes, which was nice. However, my biggest issue was that everything was very salty. I'm not sure if they over-season their food, but the salt really overpowered the flavors. I'm glad we finally stopped by and tried it, but the saltiness was definitely the biggest takeaway from our visit. read more
It's been so long since I ate at Pampas ! Years later, the quality remains but it seems the meat is saltier. I'm not a big fan of overly salted foods, but the meat was so good that I didn't let the undissolved salt crystals ruin my experience. I will have to visit again to make sure it was just an off day. I can't remember which one it was but one of the meats I ordered was dry. Except for that one, everything else was amazing. My favorite is picanha/sirloin cap. For sides, I love the heart of palm salad. Beets were simple and fresh. The collard greens were solid as ever. And if you want something sweet, I recommend the plantains. Something new I noticed is they had Diet Dr. Pepper which honestly made my experience even better. What I enjoy about eating at this location is the upstairs seating right around the corner. There's just something oddly exciting about walking up the stairs with a big plate of food. The window seats are a nice place to sit for better ventilation since that area can get pretty warm. Definitely will be back! read more

Pampas is in the Famers Market area at the Grove. Insanely crowded on the weekends!!! Come prepared to look for parking and to wait in line to get your food. The restaurant is in a food court setting so it can get busy in the weekends. Finding a good table in the shade was difficult, we ended up finding a table in the sun. Kind of annoying, but we were thankful we were able to find a table! The restaurant is cafeteria style, you'll scoop your own food, pick your meats and preferred wellness and the servers will cut the meat straight off the stick for you. There are a variety of cold dishes: build your own salad, Caesar salad, beet salad, heart of palm salad, boiled eggs, broccoli, cucumber salad. Enough options to satisfy anyone! The hot dishes varies between stews, pasta, rice, and beans. All very tasty and brought a variety of fresh flavors to pair with the meats. They had different Brazilian meats, a good variety of beef and chicken and a few options for lamb and pork. I chose mainly veggies side dishes, wouldn't want to get too full of carbs!! The meat was the main star of the plate and it definitely did. You can ask the server for your preferred wellness whether you like it medium or well done, they'll give it to you. I asked for meat well done, I love a good char grilled piece and it didn't disappoint!! The meats were tender, perfectly well without being dry. Seasoned great with a blend of spices. This meal is soooo filling, it's nice that it's located at the Grove so there's a ton of stuff to do! read more
Nice option if you're hungry at the grove. Load up on the meats - they're delicious. I got distracted by the sides and kinda wish i got more meat, but the plantains are yummy and the beef stew is also good. They have Guarana SODA!!!!! read more

Food is excellent. I came on 16 april 7pm it's pretty busy, which is alot of costumer quee for the food. I order the sirloin cap, sausage, and tri tip. For me i like the sirloin cap, it cook well. The tri tip is too chewy . The sausage is pretty plenty but i like it The beef stew and potato salad is good. Recommend! Overall i spend around 24$ Basically, it's depends on what your order since they use Lb/ price. Chicker is cheaper than beef. read more

Best Brazilian food in LA come join us for some good time, just in time for Memorial holiday read more
Delicious spot for Brazilian BBQ without spending $$$ and you can portion how much meat and sides you want depending on your hunger levels. I loved the variety of the salad and hot bar - ordered the tri tip based on the server's recommendation. Definitely get the cheese balls and cherry soda. Lines are long but go by quick! read more

*3.7 stars People were saying how this is the best spot in the farmers market so I had to try it myself. I came here mainly for the Picanha and it was pretty good, but not as amazing as I thought it would be. People were saying how its the best spot in the farmers market etc. The crust is nicely seasoned and crispy, but the meat just wasn't that tender. The whole plate I got was like $25 so it's not that expensive, but just wasn't that good. Especially considering the line was super long I probably wouldnt get it again unless the line is shorter read more

Picanha... You don't know how happy I am to see you again... Stopped by Pampas for a quick lunch while visiting Farmers Market. The line was long however it was totally worth the wait. The restaurant has buffet style setting where you go through the line and get what you want from the trays (except the meats) and pay at the end by weight (prices are different with or without meat). They have a great selection of salad and hot dishes, nevertheless the main stars are the meats: Off course my favorite is Picanha (similar to sirloin cap in US). The brazed outer layer splashed with melted rock salt and blended with the fatty part of the meat are a combination made in heaven. Just a side note: do not order too well done or the meat can be on the tougher side. Oh yeah, also get the cheese balls (pao de queijo), they are to die for (make sure to eat them while they are hot or warm). Great meal and reasonable price for what you get. read more

We've been eating here for over 15 years. If you're looking for good Brazilian Churrasco self-serve to go, this is the place to visit. It's located in the popular 3rd Street Farmer's Market so there's plenty of parking, other places to eat or shop and sit. We always love the vibe here. Expect long lines at popular times especially weekend evenings but you can serve yourself as much or as little as you like. You're charged by the weight of your plate/to go container. The meat service is quick. You just need to tell them what you want. Pampas is a family favorite. read more

Came here because I saw a lot of reviews that this was a must try in the farmers market part of the Grove. There was quite a line that wrapped around the store, but it moved really quickly. You grab a tray like a cafeteria and you can get as much as you want and then at the end they weigh how much your plate is. I thought it got a little expensive fast, but the food quality was still good. I think the favorite thing we got were the plantains and I got a lot of different meat options. By the time I sat down I forgot which was what but they all tasted pretty good. read more
Pampas Grill is my favorite restaurant at the Farmers Market at the Grove! I've been eating here for years now, and most of the time there is a line with at least a 15 minute wait. Starts with a salad bar and carb options. Lastly you pick whichever meats you want. You are charged by weight, and my plate usually comes out to $20-$30. Staff are friendly and you can sit anywhere in the farmers market. Really enjoy the quality of food here, highly recommend! read more

I've lived across the street from here for three years and have no idea why it's taken me so long to come here... even though I've heard multiple people rave about this spot & often see the lines around the building I've just always put it off. Well, I went for my first time a couple months ago and obsessed is an understatement. Amazing & sweet staff. The most delicious meats + stews. Great salad & potato salads + other veggies. Literally no notes, this place is 10/10. I get whatever I want and it's always under $20... usually in the $12-$16 range. I don't want this place to get even busier because it's my favorite lunch spot but they need praised! 10/10 read more

Is it cheaper to get a plastic box or the plate? Does that effect the weight on the scale?
The scale is calibrated to include the weight of the plate which is quite heavy. The plastic box is…
Can you order a pound of meat and then a pound of salad or salads or Onondaga combo platters?
Hi Helen, you can order any item by the pound at our restaurant. So yes, if you wanted to make one plate meat only, and another plate salads and hot dishes only, you are welcome to do so. Hope this helps!
Are any or all of the meat options keto-friendly? (thinking primarily about the marinade)
Hi Joy, our meats are marinated with olive oil, salt, citrus juices, fresh garlic, fresh herbs and in the case of the Spicy Chicken, Malagueta pepper. Hope this helps!
Do you have torresmo?
Hi Isabel, thanks for reaching out! We do not have torresmo at this time - hope this helps. Attentively, Pampas Grill Team
Does anyone know if they raised their prices? I went last week and got the usual portions but the price hiked by more than 10$ for two plates.
Hi Daniel, thanks for reaching out. We raised our prices slightly around the new year to ensure quality of product and service. The combination platters are now $11.85/lb, whereas before they were $11.45/lb. We hope this information is helpful!
