For us Brazilians who know a good Rodizio (Brazilian bbq), this is not a good place to go. They have an okay hot and cold bar, but the bbq (rodizio) is a disappointment. We will not return.

Salad Bar- probably left over from previous days Food- tastelesss and over cooked Service- very slow Management- non-existent Atmosphere- very noisy (especially if there is a soccer game on TV) which will make service even slower Cleanliness-go into the bathrooms and where they cook the rodizio and you will not only smell but see the stench I originally wanted to...

Pretty bad experience here. The place is packed and noisy. Service is incredibly slow taking around 10-15 minutes to get a drink. There are no dedicated servers that check in on the orders. For anyone who actually has sprang more than $25 on a steak ... THE MEAT IS HORRIFIC. You are offered bad tenderloin, chuck steak, trnderloin, short ribs... More

This is by far the best brazillian food anywhere. The meats are top quality, side dishes & buffet yummy & excellent service. One can never go wrong dining here. They offer great lunch values.

Went to celebrate a birthday. The servers were attentive and the food was good. A bit pricey but I would recommend it for a nice night out with a small group.

Our friends shared they have entertainment on Friday night and it was fun. Overall the place is one big room with tables very... More

Newark's Ironbound is home to some of the best Spanish/Portuguese food around, and I've been going to Brasilia for a long time. I can honestly say its rodizio dinner is what makes it better than Forno's and Iberia (two other awesome restaurants in the area.) If you go for dinner, the rodizio is the absolute must. You sit at your... More

There was a bit of a wait, but it was worth it. The food was so delicious, the wait staff extremely friendly, and the price was right. Highly recommended!
