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!!)
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.
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!
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.
Honestly. When you think of authentic Brazilian style food this is it. Home cooked feel. Home cooked flavor Selection changes daily. Staff is super nice. And they have Brazilian TV channels playing.
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!
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.
I heard a words and was recommended for this local restaurant, I came in today for lunch, very friendly staffs, service was attention, they serve you drinks, compare to high-end steak house this food quality was the top-notch. Self service buffet, variety of salad bar, house cooked rice and beans. Full energy personal serves you a top sirloin steaks, roasted lambs, grilled sausage, garlic steaks, and much more. I bring my family here at local restaurants. Open 7 days a week. You like Brazilian steak house, please come to see yourself.
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.

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

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. I will say the servers/ waitress type girls that get the drinks for you were nice. read more

This is the worse restaurant I've eaten at in Metro Atlanta. Look at my other reviews if you think I'm exaggerating. My wife works nearby and had an evening event, so being from Orlando originally and liking the Brazilian concept, decided to pop in and try this place. The owner who was serving the meat at a station actually told me " We aren't serving any fresh meat until more customers come in". I swear this to be true. Couldn't believe it! The meat he was serving was dry and waaaaay overcooked. Not edible. I don't like to "trash" independent businesses as they are the lifeblood of our economy. This particular business is where I'll make an exception because it was unacceptable. read more

Anyone know what's going on here? Website said they would be open by the 15th, doesn't look like construction is happening.
Hello Adam. Unfortunately the renovation is taking a little longer than we expected. But we will definitely be back in business as soon as it's all done. We would like to…
