About Brasilia Grill - steak house in Elizabeth, New Jersey

Brazilian churrascaria with all-you-can-eat BBQ meats & a salad bar, plus a la carte choices.

Customer Review Summary

Brasilia Grill offers good quality meat, but service issues and high prices detract from the experience. Some reviewers noted that the dining room was empty, leading to overcooked meats with limited variety unless specifically requested. While the food is often described as outstanding, there are concerns about hidden fees for side dishes and a lack of attentive service. Several customers expressed disappointment with slow service and communication issues from the staff, particularly during special occasions. On a positive note, many praised the high-quality meat, abundant portions, and enjoyable salad bar. The all-you-can-eat option is considered a great value, but it's suggested that more side dishes could enhance the meal. Overall, while some diners had enjoyable experiences and appreciated the food, consistent service and pricing transparency remain areas needing improvement.

The meat quality is good; however, the dining room was pretty empty on the night I visited, so most meats were overcooked. They kept bringing out the same 4-5 meats, and you had to specifically ask for other options, such as grilled pineapple and lamb. I waited 10 minutes for the lamb to come out, and it was way overcooked. Overall, it’s very overpriced—$48 for all-you-can-eat, and with auto-applied tips, it comes to about $60 per person.

This is a must visit place for fantastic Brazilian BBQ. Whenever I visit the area, I always try to come here. The food is simply perfect. My only concern comes down to hidden fees. Recently, they started charging extra for certain side dishes without disclosing it during the order process, or there's a cash "discount" compared to paying with a credit card. I only learned of these after payment. This is disappointing, especially because the food is truly outstanding.

We came in to celebrate a birthday the waiter was inattentive, the food came late. Never came around to check if things were good, for the price they are asking we wanted a better service the price was not the problem. Brazilian grill used to offer a better dine in experience, hopefully they can improve their customer service.

Did not have a good experience here today. Firstly ordered and appetizer that came towards the end of the service. The meat was raw and I kept telling the waiter that seemed not to understand me or pay mind to what I was saying. I was hopeful this place was good and had came to celebrate my sister’s birthday and she was disappointed in the service and meat that was served.

Excellent! The meat is very high quality. The servings are plentiful and abundant. Highly recommend the all you can eat. Great value. The only thing is they could add more sides. Need to pair all that meet wish something. Pasta is easy and would be great.

We found this gem for a dinner we planned for my husband & we have decided it must be a family place! We have gone back again & the service & food was just like the 1st time so it does not disappoint! The meats are really good with good seasoning on them & they cater to your cook temperatures. The variety is great & the kids enjoy it every time. The kids have fun & even enjoy the selections. Definitely worth the money & dine in experience.

Came here for my wife's birthday. She has always wanted to come to a brazilian style restaurant where they bring out the meats. It was great so many diffrent meats. From chicken to sausage to steaks and lamb and they really don't stop coming. The side buffet table was great too. Rice and beans and sweet plantains and salads. All for $45 per person. We also got drinks to start they were delicious and made strong. I would definitely recommend to come with a big appetite and be patient to wait for the meats you really want to try.
