I debated doing this review because some experiences you want to keep sacred. And also, sharing is caring. *Please note this is a casual place, so adjust your "ambiance" expectations.* I found the food quality to be better than the high-end Brazilian places. I would drive to ATL just to eat here, and that's saying something because I don't like driving to ATL. Everyone was so lovely & welcoming. After our time there, they felt like good friends I'm looking forward to visiting again. This woman-owned business had a continuous stream of customers the entire time we were there. You can do all-you-can-eat or weigh & pay. It's all an excellent value. My friends & I had no complaints. There's free parking in the lot. Love: service (high-level hospitality), all the food (big fans of the chicken & prime rib - some of the best meat we've ever had); tres leches (if better exists it must be euphoric!!) read more

I've been looking for a good Brazilian steakhouse in Georgia and I'm so glad I found this place! I've tried the popular big name spots but the flavor was always lacking and definitely not worth the price. We went on a Friday night around 6pm. It wasn't busy but it started to pick up around 7pm. The restaurant is on the smaller side but still plenty of seating. There was only one server and she was the sweetest. She took the time to explain everything when we told her it was our first time. They offer a salad bar and a meat section. Everything at the salad bar was fresh and flavorful. The meats were well-seasoned, cooked perfectly, and full of flavor. The picanha was my favorite - tender, juicy, and flavorful. At $25/person it's a great deal for the quality and variety you get. Definitely worth checking out. I'll definitely come back. read more

We went there for the first time a few weeks ago. I think we were there during a slow period around 5:30pm on a Saturday The main Picanha beef was absolutely excellent. I got well done and my partner medium. We were both in awe of how tender and crusty this meat was. In fact, it may be the best Picahna I've had compared to Beef Grill, Fogo and Passadoor. It's a wonderful value. You can get it by the pound for $17.99. A far better price than some of the brisket from BBQ restaurants for $32.00 a pound. I only wish they had a slightly better meat selection (maybe add brisket or beef ribs?). And maybe go there during peak times to get the freshest available food from the food bar like rice and yucca fries. And those little biscuit balls:) Well Done! read more

Stopped by for a late lunch on a Friday and there was plenty of seating available. There's a small buffet area where you can pick your sides, such as veggies or fried foods. The. The next station is where you can choose the meat. There's two to three cuts of beef (with different levels of doneness), chicken, pork and they will slice it for you. Since it is an all you can eat spot, you are able to get up and get as many plates as you want. It's nothing fancy but good value for the price and quality of meats. read more

Porto Brasil is one of a few Brazilian churrascarias in the area, and is a good place to start if you're looking to get into Brazilian food. You have the option to do an all you can eat buffet, or pay by the pound. Included in the experience is a selection of different meats that get cooked right in front of you, it's a beautiful sight. I love this concept, and this type of food, but the selection and the food itself is inconsistent. The main attraction of the restaurant are the grilled meats, so this is the area that is essential for the restaurant. My favorites at Brazilian steakhouses are the picanha, and the sausages. I love when the picanha has the redness from being cooked medium rare, with the contrast of the flavorful fat surrounding it. At Porto Brasil, they were only offering it at medium, or well done, thus it lost the texture, juiciness and flavor. I'm also less of a fan of the sausages, it seemed to be missing the smoky flavor that I love. In general, most of the meats were a little more well done. Their chicken was a positive for sure, it was juicy and tender. Their selection is also quite unbalanced, making the meal heavier than it really needs to be. Aside from their green salad, their buffet consists of heavy carbs, fried foods, or cold sides with too much mayonnaise. I think if they added just some fresh fruit that could really be a game-changer, something a little lighter to balance the heavy meat and carbs on offer. Usually it takes me a single trip to feel all carbed out. Also, I think something sweet could help too, maybe just a rice pudding. The ambiance of the restaurant is always a positive. I've been looking for Brazilian communities, and it seems like a lot of Brazilians show up here. Their dining room is spacious and the service is excellent. The gentleman who works the grill is such a cool guy, I get to practice my Portuguese with him a little and it's fun. Much love to the staff there! read more

Food and service was 10/10! Our server was so attentive and helpful for us first-timers. The side dishes are prepared fresh, and the meat is perfectly cooked. Keep in mind it's a small restaurant so the buffet line can stall a bit, but the wait is SO worth it! read more

Muito acolhedor foi uma passada rápida mais o ambiente é bem tranquilo buffet faltou algumas coisas que eu gosto como banana frita, mandioca cozida e frita, quiabo e palmito. Mais a maionese com uvas passas foi muito saborosa. Éramos turistas mais fomos indicados por amigos locais. read more

Overall, food was good. But, the meats can be cooked better. Veges are very fresh & visually appealing! My friend loves meat & was greatly disappointed as he can only digest certain kinds. I also had a hard time gnawing on them myself & needed help with cutlery. Some were dry or a lot of fat presence. Parking is limited. Lines will be crazy on weekends. Check with counter for a table during the weekends. Come early & leave happy. read more

Great food and drinks . I love how they switch out the buffet options . The only thing I would say isn't the best is the price . One cup of juice is $7 I believe . The service is also very good they are super helpful and attentive. The place its self doesn't look very up to date but it is very clean all the time ! Definitely recommend going if you enjoy Brazilian food . Feels like homemade food . read more

for Brazilian steakhouse lovers without the price tag, this may be an amazing alternative for you! Recommended by my friend, we came hungry and excited to finally try this place out since he's pretty much a regular Atmosphere/service: in comparison to your experience at fogo, you actually serve yourself. A relatively smaller place with about maybe 10-15 tables, there's a buffet area for salad/hot food items and the meat. The waitress was very nice, gave us our drinks/refilled them, and took away our used plates. food/price: I will need to throw out a disclaimer saying that this place doesn't have the variety of meat options as fogo but personally for me it had basically all the cuts I would normally eat anyways lol -- my top 4 - tenderloin also known as the picañha: juicy, crispy with the fatty parts, and soooo good. My top - sirloin - garlic steak - chicken heart They also had sausage, chicken legs, pork ribs when we went. The hot items include pork spare ribs, shrimp with veggies, corn soufflé, rice, beans, fried rice cake, fried banana. Salad bar with the usual items. I think something unique is that they have an array of sauces like chimichurri that you can eat with your meats! Would definitely come back. TLDR; a place where you don't feel like you don't have to stress about eating as much as you can bc of the price with great meat choices! read more

Porto Brasil is a churrascaria, specializing in grilled meat. Cuts of beef, pork, chicken and lamb are put on long metal skewers that automatically turn while in a rack. This is not a fancy schmancy restaurant. It has the basic list of meats; yesterday the meats available while we were there were picanha, chicken hearts, pork ribs, chicken legs and sirloin. You're not getting the highest quality meat cuts, bu you're also not paying top dollar. They're still delicious! Customers can either dine in (and then it becomes AYCE at $19.99 per person), or they can pick out whatever they want for $9.99 (I think) per lb of food. OK ... I'd caution anyone who comes here to plan ahead and make sure to arrive while it's busy. This may mean that you might have to do takeout because the dining area is not that big and could fill up very quickly. Yesterday, R and I came here for a very late lunch, or a very early dinner, and we were kind of disappointed because many of the meats listed on their website weren't even available. I get it - not very many customers were eating when we were there and the business doesn't want to waste meats, but I've been to other Brazilian grill restaurants that had one skewer of each type of meat available at all times, and those meats weren't all well done. Most of the beef on the skewers were medium well to well done, much to our dismay. We both like medium rare doneness for grilled beef. The picanha was good for being well done, and it seriously had a nice charred taste on the edges, but it also wasn't tender. One good thing here is that the meats weren't over salted while being grilled, like at some of the other competitively priced Brazilian chrrascarias. The pork ribs at Porto Brasil were so delicious, and were juicy (far from being dried out). Parking for Porto Brasil, which is in a small strip mall, was free and easy to find near the restaurant. We walked in and stopped an employee and told him we wanted to eat in and asked him if we just sit down. He welcomed us, was very nice and friendly, and had us sit down while he got two glasses of water for us and brought them to our table. He then explained the procedure: Use a disposable glove to handle all serving utensils, use a clean plate every time we went through the line, and use the tongs to grab a hold of the meat as the employee at the grill was cutting off pieces of meat. We could then pay at the register near the door before we left. Salads items looked fresh although there weren't that much of a variety. But, hey, who comes to a churrascaria for salads, right? As far as side items go, there were garlic rice (very garlicky and oily), fried bananas, corn soufflé, black beans, and other items. Honestly, I only tried the corn soufflé (which was ok) and the garlic rice. The employee at the grill was nice, but I know he was trying to pass off as much of the soon-to-be well done meats off to the customers. Since it was AYCE for one price for me, I figured it wouldn't affect me to get some well done food as compared with someone getting their food to go. I overheard a customers who was doing takeout telling the grill guy that she wanted only medium well meats since she was paying by the lb. She refused most of what the grill guy was trying to convince her to take because it cooked longer than she preferred. I couldn't blame her. I'm giving this 3 stars for this visit. I'd like to come back again during a peak time to try the food that's cooked medium rare, and also to try the foods that weren't available during this past visit. read more

Porto Brasil - Brazilian Near Me - Sandy Springs, Georgia

If your a newb to this culture of food, don't expect commercialized Fogo or Chama selections. Walked in at 3:30pm on a Tuesday and it wasn't too busy. It's a small place but plenty of seats. You can do the buffet at $12 or $6.99 per lb to go. They have all the typical Brasilain buffet food. Rice, bean, salad, potato salad, stews, and bbq meats. It's a small selection and less than what I have seen elsewhere, however, if you're Brasilian and just need your fix like me, then this will do it. I ordered the picaña since it my fav. It was dry so it didn't enjoy it. The stew they had was really good and made up for it. The potato salad was decent. The beans and farofa was good as well. I also had the flan and that was good as well. While I was eating, I can see they're keeping up with cleaning and putting fresh food out. Service is good. Meat station guy was looking at me all sketch as I took photos, lol. (Gente, calm down!) This place is the close to me. I want to come back and hopefully they can figure a good rhythm to keep the temp of the meat on anything other than well done. read more

Before I start my review I must say that I did visit this location about 30 minutes from closing. As you could imagine the meat wasn't as juicy as it would be if I had came earlier. Nonetheless I was quite satisfied by the service (the gentleman cutting the meat was funny and kind. Reminded me of a caring uncle). I was very much satisfied with their large selection of sides and the various sauces available to dip the meat into. The Picanha was salty and delectable. I hope to return one day and give an even more thorough review 8/10 so far :) The aesthetic was cool too. read more

Food didn't seem fresh. The meats didn't have the fresh flavor you'll find in Brazilian restaurants. That kind of bloody flavor that's characteristics of meats laying around for a long time. I'm south American, and I know my meats. The service was amazing. Very friendly people. The restaurant was very clean. The food layout looked amazing. Great flavors too. read more

The food was delicious! Thank you Eduardo for the great service!!! This is a very friendly and reasonable place. Totally recommend!!!

This is my Go to spot on a sunday after church service the line does take a while if you come at a busy time but its just cause the food is worth it. They have never expanded but i wish they would !

Everything was amazing. Staff was kind and patient I had the best graduation lunch dinner I could ask for and 10/10 recommend

The food is good but how do you from 13.99 to 19.99$? That's a really high amount! Inflation is bad but 6$ increase is a lot!

3.5 - 4 stars Summary: A taste of Brazil that fills you up! So my elite friend and I were at land of a thousand hills contemplating dinner choices. My friend wanted Latin. I wanted buffet. We came to the middle: Port-o brasil! We checked out the reviews and it looked worth a try so we came here. I've only had Brazilian food once and that was at Fogo De Chao. Of course many places don't even compare to that, but many places are also not as expensive. This place was a buffet (not where they bring meat to your table, but rather there is a food bar). They had good choices, and I don't remember the names of the dishes, but the selection was really limited. I liked: the corn dish, the seafood salad, the pork & beans, the chicken, and the pork meat. All of those were amazing. Other items that were pretty good were the yucca fritter, the rice fritter, and ribs. I didn't care too much about the salad bar. The price for the buffet was I think $13. You can also get food by pound if you already know what you're going to eat. Service was above-and-beyond and they had color decorations and played a Brazilian TV channel. It would have been fun to have Brazilian music, but it was quiet enough for my friend and I to be able to talk. The only reason I knocked a star was the small selection of items. read more

My friend's wife is Brazilian, and she said this is her favorite Brazilian restaurant so of course I had to check it out. $10.99 weekend buffet includes all-you-can-eat grilled meats like beef tenderloin, sirloin, pork sausage, pork tenderloin, chicken hearts, chicken wings, chicken wrapped in bacon, etc. I love the smell of grilled meat so for me, it was paradise as soon as I walked in. And you can see the meats grilling on their individual spits. They've also got a hot bar & cold bar of authentic Brazilian sides that change daily. On Saturday, they had rice, black beans, pinto beans, plantains, Yuca fries, corn souffle, pork ribs, shrimp & green beans, and different fresh veggies at the salad bar. Nothing terribly exciting but I loved the plantains :) I also recommend trying the "Caju" juice. We tried it for the first time - It's a very tasty fruit juice, light, refreshing, and not too sweet. I looked up "Caju" on Wiki and Caju is Brazilian for cashew. I don't think the juice tasted like cashew though. Service was very friendly & welcoming, both our server and the man who worked the grill station. That night we saw a Portuguese language study group eating together, and the grill man said the class is free and they meet here every week - in case any of you are interested :) FYI - the weekday buffet is $9.99, and they do not sell alcohol here. I'll definitely be back. read more

This place is one of the best places to eat Brazilian food in Atlanta! Parking isn't the best, but the staff is friendly and attentive. They speak Portuguese and English, so if you want practice learning and speaking Portuguese, you won't find a friendlier bunch of people! The food is fresh and just delicious! Every time I come here and take my first bite, I ask myself why it took so long to come back! I have been coming here for about six years, and they are consistently great as always!! read more

This place is one of my favorites! I used to live in the area and would literally stop by after the gym! What better meal than rice and beans after a workout?!?!.... Unlike Fogo De Chao or Fire of Brazil, this place offers the same thing in a more casual environment. No need to be super fancy. Its Brazilian owned and offers the bar with grilled steak, chicken and shrimp. They have rice, potatoes, pasta, salad, beans and so much more... When I went recently, it was still Covid, but restaurants had opened up. They didn't have much food, but still had a crowd and cooked me a meal. I got beef, white rice, black beans and a side salad. Bill was roughly about $12 excluding tip. Service Is always fast and very nice and the food is very delicious and healthy. Most of all, when things are normal it's honestly like a less expensive brazilian grill. Definitely check it out! Also, If you're in the area after doing one of the many trails, it's the perfect power meal before or after. read more

You get so much meat for such a good price and surprisingly, they are vegetarian friendly. Their salad bar has more than just salad - it's got rice, beans, yuca, plantains, etc - enough to keep me full. You can pay for all you can eat or pay for pound as well. Great place! read more

Do you like meat? I mean really like meat? Beef, chicken, pork? Do you like it wrapped in bacon? Are you the kind of person who laughs in the face of vegetarians and punches animals in front of vegans? If you answered yes to amy of the questions above, you'll like Porto Brasil. At 12.99 all day, this is a great place to satisfy your carnivorous cravings. Included at that price, you have access to an all you can eat bar complete with fried bananas, fejioada, rice, and yes, copious amounts of meat. In a hurry or a carnivore on the run? You can get their food togo as well. Their recent remodel gives the place a face-lift and a larger eating space. Highly recommend, and you should certainly fast before coming here. The meat is well worth the wait. read more

I was thinking this would be like Fogo de Chao, but like cheaper, more catered to lunch. It's not. The food was awful. Maybe that bland taste is customary because everyone in there seemed to be enjoying it and maybe I just didn't enjoy it. But if you're like me and need flavor, this will be a complete waste of money for you. Even the rice was hard, like come on, I would at least think I could go anywhere and get decent rice. But no.

Porto Brasil - Food looks ok but I did not like it at all. - Brazilian Near Me - Sandy Springs, Georgia

This is the best local Brazilian BBQ place on the perimeter that doesn't break the bank and delivers the meat! They serve the usual meats and even have chicken hearts. The buffet has decent veges, rice, and desserts like fried bananas. This is hands down the best churrascaria Brazilian barbecue place where normal, everyday Brazilians eat. My only negatives on this place are they raised prices several times to stay open. When they first opened, lunch (unlimited food) was $9.95 and they had a frequent eater card, so every 5 lunches got you a free 6th meal. This place is better than Beef Grill 2 miles up the road, Cowboys (new place) 2.5 miles behind Sandy Sorings Diner, and the much more fancy and very expensive places like Fogo do Chao and Galeto Brazilian Steakhouse that do have bigger offerings like vegetables and seafood, but, come on, you go to Brazilian BBQ for the meat. read more
