Brasilia Grill

Haven’t eaten here before but have at the one by ferry street many years ago, not sure if same owners. I live quite far and was in the area so I decided to treat the family to one of my favorite restaurants from the past( I believed it to be the same). Ordered take out and was very disappointed. Everything was real dry and blah. Salad was just tomato and iceberg lettuce. Maybe it wasn’t that tasty due to being takeout?? Employees were very nice and a pleasant place. $54 dollars for 2person dinner and there was a lot of food.unfortunately not much was eaten.

The food was really good. The waitress was a bit odd though: They have a rule against sharing when you buy the all you can eat rodizio, so she stared at everyone at our table almost nonstop making sure none of us shared any food amongst each other. I get why she did that but it was a bit over-the-top and made us all feel uncomfortable.

It's more like 3.5 stars but I want to keep it to 4 especially for the excellent service they provide. We decided to go for the buffet. The only meat we enjoyed was the sirloin steak. It was delicious. The other meats were either too salty or hard to chew or tasted like they were breaking down in our mouth. The salads and other items in the buffet were great. Exceptional service from the waiters.

First time Brazilian steakhouse experience. The very first thing that bothered me was, all the meat, all you can eat is $36, but it's $40 for excluding pork!!! It's like getting punished for eating less variety?! The salad/non meat bar had rice so old that it almost had a rotten smell. In terms of meat we were offered grilled chicken legs, chicken liver, beef short ribs, top sirloin, beef kabobs, and lamb. Chicken legs were the best thing they served. It was tender, juicy, and tasty. All the other meat, especially kabobs was so tough to chew. Probably could use a few more minutes of cooking! When it came to the bill, we got charged $4 for not paying with cash, like WTH. Neither we are in the 1980s, nor this is a small business that we have to pay penalties for paying with a credit card! Overall, an okay experience. While walking out of the restaurant my husband was asking if we would come back to Brasilia, I told him you have to put a gun on my head! 😜

I was told about the place that is a nice place to eat. I went with my wife to check the place up only to be disappointed. The vegetables they have for their customers is stale vegetables and not fresh. I have to ask them for new vegetable. The beef is very salty, that could trigger someone with hypertension. The restaurant needs to work on her menu and have fresh food for their customers. They need to get a good barman who knows his or her onions. The drink was zero, could not drink it. The salad was the best. Did I get value for my money, the answer is capital NO.

Save yourself the trip to this place!!! Honestly been coming here for quite some years but with time it has only lead to more and more dissatisfaction and disappointment!! If I could honestly give the 0 starts or negative starts I would. Today I came here for dinner and decided to give this place another try. The girls at the bar are actually nice and helpful. But everyone working in the kitchen, oh god PLEASE HELP THEM!!! SPECIALLY THE ONES WORKING THE GRILL AND THE MANAGER. After waiting for close to 2 hours for a piece of skirt steak and being asked multiple times by the bartenders if I had gotten anything, I finally received the food. Steak was cooked awful, it was supposed to be a medium rare and this guy brought a whole piece of medium well steak. Honestly at this point I’m pretty annoyed by the amount of time it has taken to get our food served to us and to not get the order right. When asked to speak to the manager he reassured me the steak was medium rare while I clearly pointed out why and how it was not. He was condescending and plainly rude. PLEASE DON’T ADDRESS YOUR CUSTOMERS AS SWEETIE JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE WOMEN!! Needles to say we asked for the check. So SAVE YOUR MONEY! GO TO A BETTER PLACE, PLENTY HERE IN NEWARK TO REPLACE THIS “want to be grill” !!
