Braza Bar and Grill

I want to get this place. Awesome honorable mention. The waitresses are extremely helpful and friendly. The bartender deserves five stars for the incredible talent and skill. They serve the best Long Island iced tea.

My meal was great but the guy completely messed up on the flan, I went there with my family for my birthday and I was going to get cake but since they didn’t have the cake I wanted I decided to get the flan, now… I never said I wanted the brigadeiro flan, just the regular flan, I ordered it to go and now I’m sitting here, 45 minutes away from the restaurant, with utter disappointment in the fact that I have something I paid for and don’t want. I work in the business as a server and I know that it’s not that difficult to get the right dessert if you’re paying attention to what your customer is saying.

Great authentic Brazilian food, greasy service and atmosphere. You might get lucky and meet The Rock yes The Rock as security lol.

Excellent meat. Very friendly staff. Good (strong) caipirinhas. But most of all, Braza has one of the best feijoadas in the Greater Boston area. This is my go-​to Brazilian restaurant these days, even though I live in Boston. Muito gostoso!

I am extremely disappointed. It has been a while since I have been here, but they have stopped bringing the food to the table during week nights! What is the point of going. They are driving away their own customers. The selection of food is pitiful on Weeknights. I have been coming here off and on for the five years I have been in Everett and the food and service has done nothing but go downhill.

Parking is a pain since the metered parking lot is always full as well as street parking. Once you enter, there’s a sign that reads «please seat yourself.» You grab a plate, get your sides and sit down at an open table. The booths tend to fill up first.
The all you can eat buffet is very inexpensive. $ 10.99 on weekdays and about $ 16 on weekends. It’s a little disappointing on weekdays since they do not give you the whole experience (minus 1 star). They do not walk around with cuts of meats, instead you grab what you’d like at the counter. Also, there are items like ribs that aren’t on the weekday menu. The meal is decent, although everything tends to be pretty salty (minus 1 star). I assume this is their clever way of having customers fill up on side dishes and beverages, so that we don’t consume too much meat. The salad bar is quite minuscule. I wished they had more options in the lettuce department. They also serve alcoholic beverages. Forget about requesting a mimosa, unfortunately they do not serve nor know what one is.

$ 16 for Sunday’s AYCE buffet. $ 10 during weekdays. They also have pay by weight option.
Braza is a mecca for meat lovers.
What’s interesting is asides from the usual pick-​what-​you-​want consisting of pastas, rice, briskets, and a salad bar– they have their staff come up to you with different types of meat on large skewers and slice them off for you. Drinks and dessert are not included. As with any buffet, come absolutely starving.
The good:
+ The variety of meats available– from beef, to grilled sausages, to bacon wrapped pork, to steak. Meat lovers rejoice.
+ Everyone is friendly, no problems with service, quick turnover of meats circulating around.
+ Pricing is fantastic for a MEAT buffet, unbeatable.
+ Asides from their meat buffet, their other entrée options were decent.
The funny/​clever:
+ They have a square sign that goes on each table for you to flip– one side is red, the other green. Red= you don’t want anymore meats. Green= keep ‘em coming.
The bad:
— No price on their drinks menu
— A couple of their meats were on the tough, dry end which was dissappointing– but I suppose it’s inevitable having them sit constantly heated if they’re not being circulated… or I just got bad cuts. I’m a tender/​medium rare kind of girl. Jaw was so tired by the end of the meal.
— Their meat was not unbearably salty, but subtly so. We were drinking a lot of water and I am continuing to do so as I write this.

I love this place. I will drive down from Woburn on a week day after a hard day of work just to get my fix. Right now, it is $ 10.99 AYCE. They consistently have a great salad buffet (I love their sauteed greens), and all the staples when it comes to the meat. My particular favorite are their chicken hearts (or, as I like to call them, meat candy!) The BF likes the meat because it is seasoned almost perfectly. Many brazilian bbq will oversalt their meat, but this place is always great!
–1 star: Pay attention to your bill! Today we were a party of 4, in a cozy booth. We didn’t order any alcohol, as it is a weeknight and we all had to get an early start in the morning. I happened to glance at the bill, and realized it was almost $ 55! (hmm. $ 10.99×4 = about $ 44) Not even with tax, and the local meal tax, should it be near $ 50! I took a closer look and realized that the server had included a 15% tip to the bill! Normally we tip closer to 20−25%, but that left such a bad taste in my mouth, we didn’t tip any extra at all.
Of course I’ll be back. But I’ll be watching the bill more closely, just to make sure the tip isn’t already included!

The first time it was great good service. Had the meat brought to us. Second time it was okay. The third time I only came because my bf likes this place cause of the meat. Anyways I came with him and my little sister. The tall, bald headed buff guy was our waiter. He’s sucks!!! We wanted the buffet and went and got our plates. Came back to our table hoping someone would come and ask if we wanted anything to f***king drink with this salty a$$ f***king meat. Plates stackes on the table. 30 minutes in finally the damn waiter came and the whole f***ing time before that he was just standing at the counter behind me. Just standing. I glanced at the TV noticing tits and some guy seducing the woman on Television. I’m like wtf and there was children in the restaurant. Ok so I finished my drink I tried to get the waiters attention waving my hand in the air to get another drink, a sprite actually. That took another 20 minutes he didn’t even bother looking in our direction. The place wasn’t even busy. Only five tables were filled and there was two waiters. Finally he comes to our table and I ask for a sprite. Another 20 minutes no sprite wtf. Then I notice the other waitress was passing out parfaits to all her customers after they paid and she was telling them it was on the house. I notice my waiter doing the same thing. He came back to my table and I asked for the check. No sprite and no parfait on the house. I was pissed. Never again will I come here, I’ll be at Oliveira’s. Douche lucky he even got a $ 5 tip

I have been coming here for years (even when it was under the old owners)
Cheap and really good food. Over the years I have tried many Brazilian bbq places and nothing even comes close to this place. This place has more favorable foods than all of them. The best part is they are the cheapest of any Brazilian BBQ place in MA.
Great staff, even better cooks, place is clean
5 stars from me every time

Well, I do not ask a lot from a restaurant. As a simple eater they meet my requirements every time.
Price: excellent for an all-​you-​can-​eat restaurant.
Food: good Brazilian seasoning.
Service: smile is natural. I feel good every time. (Specially «Chuka & Sarah»)
Suggestions: men’s restroom needs more attention and some improvement.

I use to frequent this place a couple of years back. I decided to go back tonight for take-​out and will not return again. They are no longer offering the traditional churrasco buffet. You now have to ask someone for the meat, they take your container to the back to fill with as much meat as they want. Which is 5x the amount you wanted. The service was just plain bad if not non-​existent. I’ll be sticking with Oliveira’s!

Hey, owners of Braza Grill pay attention to this!!!
” Mother’s Day advertised on Facebook for $ 12.99 we were charged $ 14.99 !!! «
Customers or potential Customers If you are reading this review, beware, do not go there !!!
The service is awful, the table was dirty, we asked for a glass of water the waiter brought my sister in law a glass of water with 7 pieces of lime in it. The water looked disgusting! I had to tell him that this was not acceptable and to bring us another glass of water. By the way we got the water after we finished eating, since the waiter NEVER came by!!! The food was decent (I am Brazilian) but the meat was burned!!! Not crispy, BURNED!!! I used to love this place!
At first, I thought it was a language barrier, but then I realize that some can speak English just fine. The staff was fully aware that we were unsatisfied with their service. Yet, they made no attempt to correct it. Overall, it was truly an awful experience. I regret bringing my family there.
» If you want to have a great experience and want to taste the authentic «Brazilian BBQ» please go to Fogo de Chão in Boston! Expensive and totally worth !
A few decent places to go to is Oliveiras in Everett and Oasis in Medford, and Midwest Grill in Cambridge or Saugus!
Salt unfortunately varies from place to place because Brazilian food and barbecue is usually salty, unfortunately. I am aware that this is not the healthiest way of eating but a matter of preference! I don’t like, but I was raised eating salty Brazilian food until I moved to the USA 14 years ago!

The food is great, the service is lacking a little… The live music on weekends is fun. I would give the restaurant another try.

I didn’t really know what to expect from Braza when I came here last night, but I definitely left with a positive experience. It was a very quiet place on Wednesday, with maybe 5 or 6 tables filled when we showed up around 8PM. We had a table for 4 and got the all you can eat buffet. Monday-​Thursday nights, this is only $ 9.99 and allows you to eat at the salad/​veggie bar and get the BBQ.
The salad and other pick’ns were a little scarce and only occasionally labeled. I could pretty much get an idea what I was about to put in my plate by shape/​smell, but it was still a gamble. The BBQ had a huge selection of Top Sirloin, Chicken, Tips, etc. It was all pretty good. The chicken was moist, the top sirloin was good. The garlic tips were a little too crisped up for my liking, but on the bites that had minimal char, the flavor was definitely there.
The food was pretty salty, especially any fried item. The service was pretty good, we were checked on scarcely, but the server was polite. All in all, the bill was $ 53.33 for 4 dinners, 1 Bud Light, tax and tip. We had an enourmous amount of food and definitely left satisfied. I’ll easily come back if I’m looking for a cheap night out.

Aight, here’s the run down.
I live near this place, and I go hear often because their food is very good and very inexpensive. My only gripe, is that I get some weird ass looks and they treat me weirdly because I’m not Brazilian lol! Food is good, cheap, but if you’re not Brazilian, be prepared to get some looks, be it dirty or not.

I’ve been here twice. First time was a very busy Saturday night with live music and a friendly waitress and staff. The second was a tuesday afternoon very quiet and all you can eat buffet again. Second time wasn’t greeted at the door but were served immediately which is a plus. The all you can eat during the week day is self-​serve and does not have the meat servers coming to your table.
DRINKS ARE EXPENSIVE!!!
It’s $ 10 bucks for two lemonades which is absurd! And $ 6 for a smoothie too! Granted the LIMEADE was actually made from scratch which I can appreciate but it’s still too pricey. The food id delicious expecially their yuca flour and collards.
I totally would comeback to this place but not as often because of the price.

This review is based purely on the service — Food its self is Great.
I’m from Everett and have my share fair of brazilian cuisine. This wasnt my first time going to Braza and have also been there during various times of the day (brunch, lunch, dinner). So i figured after my final meal with them I would give them a review that is strictly based on the multiple times I’ve been there.
from the first time to the last time — the service kept getting worse and worse. It seems everytime my girlfriend and I came, the servers just seemed to always miss our table which was strange seeing as this place is never packed. During our last vist waiting for servings of meat, we had to notify the waitress, whom also forgot about us, that we had only recieved a ¼th of the selections of meat offered. We also noticed that our meat server was also the person serving those who were paying by the pound. As we stocked up on buffet food while waiting for our servers, our never returned to our table to pick up used plates or even offer second servings of beverages. When we finally got her attention to notify her about the lack of service she asked us to hold momentarily which turned into a 15 minute wait and a return to the buffet only to tell us that a server would be with us shortly. Full of a buffet — we decided that this would be our last and final meal at Braza. The food is great but would be even better if it was someting you actually got to enjoy along side your buffet sides.

FIRST THE FOOD IS GREAT, TO THE ONES WHO COMPLAIN ABOUT TOO MUCH SALT, HEYYYY THATS THE WAY BRAZILIAN BARBECUE IS.
Now beside the food that is good not great, but is pretty good, I’d give 4 stars for the food. The WAITRESS SUCKS, the service SUCKS !! sometimes they just disappear, and when your order a Beer Draft most of the times is not really cold as is suppose to be.
Make sure to keep track on what you order, specially on the beers, got extra charge once.

Salt. Salt. Salt.
Shame that the salt drove me away for good. The restaurant itself is actually quite nice; the seating options are better than, say, Oliveira’s down the street, and it’s really clean and bright. The service is great – our waitress was really sweet, helpful, and didn’t treat us any differently even though we came with a Groupon. But I’m afraid that’s where the ‘nice’ ends.
The meat was inedible. Like opening your mouth in the middle of the ocean kind of gross. Maybe if you’re used to dousing your food in salt crystals and then pouring more salt on top, you might be able to choke some meat down. But if not, it’s WAY too salty for consumption. If your dinner partner is iodine-​deficient, take him or her here. Like I said, what a shame, because they actually had tons of wonderful cuts of meat! The pork was semi-​okay, if you didn’t get a big part of the skin. The chicken was actually decent (juicy, tender, not quite as salty as the beef), though still on the saltier side. The garlic beef, should you be able to cut into the verrry inside, was good. But the sirloin, steak, brisket, and whatever else they had was. just. too. salty. BLECH.
I’m afraid with all the other rodizio restaurants around (Bossa Nova being my fave so far), as well as rumours of the new one in Back Bay opening up, I won’t be back to Braza.
