Food is amazing, don’t go crazy with the toppings since the food is by the weight.Chicken salad is great and surprisingly the cheesecake was good.Pão do queijo was freshly baked.No drink fountain but they have a full bar.

Went there not knowing what to expect and came out very satisfied!! All of the food I had was good except for the passion fruit mousse which is too sweet

If youre a Carnivore like myself, this place is the best. Pick your favorite Brazilian style chicken or beef anyway you like it!! Add on some delicious sides and youre in Heaven. Highly recommend.

Very good Brazilian bbq. Pay per pound. Meat is very good depending on the cut and how much its cooked. Some are really dry. Some are juicy as heck. Lines are really quick with plenty of seating. They have the same restaurant at the Grove but this location definitely had faster lines and better quality.

Food was really good but keep in mind you pay per weight. Nice that they make you use gloves and we found seating indoors and outdoors both. Very good lunch.

Affordable Brazilian BBQ.. They have really nice meat options and a great open buffet type service.. You get your own food from the bar and the your plate is weighed for the pricing.. One of my favorite lunch and dinner locations in the area.. And this is a great location. Would recommend.

I come here way more often than I should.The only negative to me eating here is that it can be uncomfortable ordering a lot of meat because theyre just like how much do you want but theyre also not like weighing it or really cutting consistently?Like 2 pieces means wildly different things depending on the cut of meat and who is working.

This is a great place to grab a quick lunch and good value for the money. Not the kind of place you would take a date to, but great for lunch with coworkers or dinner with large family. Its not the highest quality food, but it will hit the spot when you are craving Brazilian food, the whole gamut from bbq to feijoada.

The Buffet is hands down one of the best dining experiences Ive ever had. Whether youre in the mood for a light brunch or a sumptuous dinner, you wont be disappointed by whats on offer here. The selection of dishes is staggering, and the quality of the food is top-notch. From fresh seafood to juicy steaks, theres something for everyone here, and you wont be disappointed by whats on your plate.

I read the reviews before coming and as long as you are aware that your food will be weighed at the end, you’re in the clear. My bf and I both got plates: selections from salad bar, hot section and the grilled meat at the end - I got well done and he had medium - Both good!. Our total came out to about $50-$55.The meat was flavorful, the fruits were ripe, sides were seasoned, collard greens were tasty, the sliced garlic bread tasted a bit old but outside of that I was pleasantly surprised and had a well rounded FRESH meal. Coming again next time I’m in town, for sure 💗

Food is a buffet style and you pay at the end. The salad bar area is nice, but the real show is the meat! They spit style it and slice it fresh in front if you. Drinks are in a can, give the apple flavored one a try!

2023-08-01 23:30:48

Restaurant is not a buffet(all you can eat for one price) but customers are able to see and pick what they want to pay; there is a salad bar, rice and beans, mashed potatoes, plantains, and more then at last they have the meat area where customer can pick from chicken, beef, pork, lamb. The only thing make sure you get the meat part because I got charged for fat that ended up in the trash. I also think its little pricey, the meat was very thin prolly not going back anytime soon.

Brazilian Buffet. What more do you want. Oh and the food slaps. Expect to pay 18-22 bucks if you’re not trained in the ways of the buffet. Cheese bread. Great meat, steak sirloin, lamb, chicken. Very clean with gourmet taste.

Great - Food, ambience. Ok - service, price. We really enjoyed the food, the meats were indeed top notch. There could’ve been better vriety of salads. From the non-meats I would recommend those little brazilian bread bites. Soo good. There is ample room for dining and parking is easy in the plaza. I think it’s a little on the expensive side and the service was just ok. Overall I liked it, but I’ve seen better!

This is a buffet that charges by the weight. Grilled meat is about $2 more per lb. I had other items and my price came under $10. I had expected more. Food was delicious! Highly recommended!

Very good grilled meat. Had the Garlic chicken, garlic beef and cap. sirloin beef. They all were seasoned really well and meat tasted fresh. Id say the garlic chicken was little too salty for my taste,; Kind of tasted like ham. Overall, it was a delicious meal where I would recommend go back again.

While I was waiting to buy meat in the restaurant, the person who cut the meat smeared oil and blood drops on my new shirt. Afterwards, I explained the situation to the manager of the restaurant and the woman in charge did not take care of me. I went back to my house and tried to remove the blood stains from my shirt, but I couldnt. I definitely dont plan to go to this restaurant again. My $80 t-shirt went to waste.

I love their food, no complaints there. However the fact that I saw them THROW EVERYTHING STRAIGHT INTO THE TRASH after they closed, so so much food into the trash was so disappointing. Give it to your workers, give it to the homeless, give it to a organization, anything is better than throwing so much food away.

This is my favorite place to eat steak around LA and not break the bank, food is very good, live music, cool place. I luv the caipirinha here(alcoholic beverage).

Really good option for Brazilian food. You pay for the weight of the food on your plate so you can adjust and concentrate on the highest value items if you choose so. The quality of the meat was very good and it was just a great place to have good quality Brazilian food without paying a lot.

Good value for the food quality. There are tons of side orders options. And good meat choices as well. Can bring your bottle of wine for a cork fee.

Reasonably priced Brazilian churrascaria cuisine. $20 for the oversized plate pictured (note full size orange slices in photo for scale) and a Coke. Priced by weight, if you buy less, it costs less. Great food.

Bro, let me start by telling you I was suspicious of this place. I was not a fan of the buffet idea. That being said. I loved it. I got to try a little of everything as far as the sides went. The meat I copied my friend who has experience with the food. But the best by far was the lamb. That alone is worth the price of admission. I highly recommend it. The sausage were okay the meat was really good but the lamb I would fight a tiger for some right now

One of my all time favorite spots in Culver City. Its a buffet but the quality of the food transcends any other buffet Ive ever visited. Its Brazilian, so in addition to a great selection of salad and fresh fruit and veggies, theres garlic collard greens to die for, savory cheese bread, plantains and yucca. And then...the meat! I always get the garlic sirloin cap bit its all good and you can request as much as you want. And since the meat is optional, this place is also good for vegetarians.

I had to undo my pants. It was so good. I live the vegetarian/vegan options too. Line was long, but moved along quickly. Been here twice in one week & will be back again. Oh and you pay by the weight of your meal.

My experience was tremendous, Brazilian BBQ. Salad Bar has a nice assortment of unusual items.Extremely clean and organized, effective service, members are helpful. Rodrigo, he went from table to table, asking if everything was okay if he could do something and offering items, like fresh Brazilian coffee. It was something I havent seen in a restaurant in a long time. Congrats Pampa Grill.

I walked in, went straight to the bathroom to wash my hands. Afterwards, I grabbed a plate and a tray and was told to grab some plastic mits and serve myself. The food looked good, they had some fruits, veggies, and some veggie dishes. After collecting my sides, I moseyed on down to the grilled meats. A guy behind a glass kindly helped me out with my order. The medium meats were so aromatic, I could smell it through my mask as I looked for a table to sit at, and they tasted so good. No further seasoning was necessary. The flavors went well with all my other sides, yum.

Very good Brazilian BBQ in a casual setting located in a Culver City mall. You pay by the pound and everything is self-service. Discounted rates during off hours after lunch and before the dinner rush.

OH NO I MR SORRY PAMPAS I CHANGED FROM MY NORMAL 5-STAR TO ONE. I have always loved coming to Pampas. Its my favorie. Especially after coming with an appetite after surfing, hiking or snowboarding. But in this photo today is not nearly the amount i normally get it was much smaller and it was $30. They really raised their prices and after this $30 meal i am still hungry. Not sure about going back. Likely now. Sorry Pampas i love it here but ill being the most flavorful spicy chicken and garlic rice ever. But if i cannot get full from $30 its not right.

This is a classic, Brazilian-food, pay-by-the-weight restaurant. Many of the staff are Portuguese speakers, though I have not met any yet who do not speak English. Everyone so far has been very nice and helpful. There is plenty of seating, and TV screens showing soccer games and other shows. The food is great and includes fire-roasted meats, bacon-wrapped chicken and also sausages. I wish I could visit this place every week. They also have tasty Latin-style pudding or flan. YUM!

Always one of my favorite Brazilian counter served steakhouses to visit when Im town. Excellent tasting meets at a reasonable price. Dinner for two at mainstream Brazilian steakhouse would run you over $100, but for two here is was under $50. Only pain is the parking becausevLA Fitness is next door.

Thats my favorite restaurant (period). It tastes exactly like the best Brazilian food in Brazil. I highly recommend it if you love the Brazilian style. My favorites are the rice with black beans or stroganoff, dark greens, and the stew beef on top of it. The place is always very clean, and the staff is friendly and polite.

Great by the kilo Brasilian resto. You grab a tray, load up, then there is a churrasco at the end where they slice grilled meat onto your plate. My companion, who visited Brasil, pronounced it authentic. Definitely will go back.

Review №74

2021-06-22 17:13:00

Food was good. I just found it sort of disrespectful that staff (cooks and cashier) weren’t into doing a better customer service job. They were speaking and laughing in a foreign language as if no one else was there while i was at the register trying to pay. This isn’t about the language being spoken, it’s just about the respect and service to the customer while being a customer. I hope this just helps to improve and know the importance of making a customer feeling better welcomed.

Review №75

2021-10-28 09:36:32

Great place to help yourself with a lot of tasty Brazilian food by the pound.I loved their selection of cold salads, hot food items and the barbecued meat variety cut right in front of you. For desert I had their Passion fruit mousse which is subliminal, however they also have a great looking flan that looked very delicious.Since you pay by the weight of the food in you plate, prices may vary from $14 to $30 per person. Ill return soon.

Review №76

2022-07-31 16:24:03

Delicious and quick buffet-style Brazilian BBQ at a very reasonable price. The meat is top quality and they have great drinks too. What more could you ask for?

Review №77

2018-07-06 02:54:09

Sides are decent, and the meat was very good. A little overpriced though, for the sides. It would be cool if there was a set price for the sides, and the meat was charged by the pound. Might also be good to adjust the seating so there isnt so much of a bottleneck between the door and the tables outside. Enjoyed my meal though, would come back!

Review №78

2021-10-14 01:32:56

If I could only eat at one place for the rest of my life, Id drive the 2 to 3 hours everyday to eat here! Amazing amazing food! Love the meat, potato salad, tomatoes in vinaigrette, the cheese rolls, stews and the plantains! Id give 100 stars if I could. Oh and I love that they dont give me a hard time for being picky about my cuts of meat. Ill say I want a slice with as little fat on it as possible and they will hook me up! Thick slices too ❤ and always clean and always friendly. They weight the food and the prices are fair!

Review №79

2019-12-15 05:57:45

Pretty good deal for not bad meat! my plate came out to be super reasonably priced. the meat was a little overcooked, but i think you can specify for rarer cuts. it was a little salty as well, but overall, i enjoyed the experience. they even let you sample the meats when youre in line. also this location is in a plaza so parking isnt too bad!

Always good healthy food here. The meat cuts are always delicious and flavored great. This place is not cheap so expect to pay a little bit when they weigh your food. But, the quality matches the price paid. 5 stars for me, this is one of my regular favorite spots.

Review №83

2021-12-01 20:08:34

For the most part this place is good. Been here several times and only in two occasions meat hasnt been the best, but usually meat is juicy and tender. In the weekends is when everything seems to be fresher and full menu.

A lil pricey but most definitely worth every dollar spent. The food is delicious, somewhat clean and healthier than most with plenty of sides, vegan options, kosher options and a wide variety of meat to choose from ranging from lamb to my ABSOLUTE favorite their garlic steak. Its worth a try for sure you wont be disappointed.

2021-10-06 22:21:24

Food and service was pretty good (service was good because you serve yourself.) I came in knowing that you pay by the pound. What I didnt realize was the plate alone is almost heavy beyond belief. I strongly suggest to grab the to go tray and save yourself a pound!

Love Brazilian barbecue but dont want to feel stressed trying to get your moneys worth at an AYCE that most places offer? Look bo further- you choose what you want and pay according the the amount(weight) of fold you get here, and ho boy- the meat is FRESH. Delicious, and you get all the side dishes you want, and the staff are kind as well. Had a blast eating here since it got rid of my B bbq crave without breaking the bank.

One of my all time favorites! Pampas is a self serve Brazilian BBQ buffet and I normally go to the one located in the Farmers Market but the Culver City location is just as good. The food here is amazing and reasonably priced. You won’t regret waiting in line.

Review №92

2022-04-04 00:19:32

Food is good but the meat isn’t. It tastes like there isn’t any seasoning at all, I can’t believe they call that a Brazilian churrasco. I totally understand you can’t get the real, 100% outside of Brazil but their meat tastes like they don’t put the minimal effort to make it a churrasco. Total let down.

Review №93

2016-07-02 00:21:28

After a certain hour in the evening you will notice that the staff has already started prepping for cleaning which means that after 8 oclock you will smell detergents and Unpleasant odors for this establishment. However the food is exceptionally good tasty and flavorful. Unfortunately the meat that I got at the bar was very salty high in sodium and lacked other taste. The fountain drinks are good also order the canned and bottled drinks. There is also a very good wine selection here. As far as the service calls I didnt get the most pleasant cashier she was in her 30s or 40s and female of course. Aside from that everything went well the outdoor seating is very nice but theres a lot of noise because of the parking lot. Overall experience good.

This place isnt cheap, but the pricing is not exorbitant either. The food quality is absolutely excellent, and even though it was kind of busy it was a really great place to go to lunch. I went with my team at work, and they were able to push together a bunch of tables for us no problems, and I will say that the fresh grilled meat is very very good. This is definitely casual dating material Level of a place

Bottom line, the food is pretty good. Amazing? Not quite, but its solid. The line can get a little long during peak hours but they have specials during the day and the prices are overall very reasonable. The best thing about the buffet was the grilled meat, which was very good quality. Id recommend the Picana, it was great!

2019-09-05 02:27:45

Nice restaurant without pretension. The salad bar has a nice assortment of unusual items like fried yucca and fried plantains along with all the usual staples. Large BBQ selection which I didnt sample but which looked delicious. You buy based on price/lb which is perfect for light eaters like me, 100% control over the portions is a refreshing change from monster plates!

2017-05-25 16:57:18

A great place to eat with having the buffet all you cans stuff down your throat incentive. This place has many options on food and its all good. The meat is also excellent. Controlling your portions is rewarded at the cash register. I always leave wanting to come back. Great place.

I go to this place every time Im in LA! They have fresh and quality meats in addition to the extensive salad/hot bar they have. It is a must try and they have something that everyone will like too. They can get a bit pricey depending on what you get so be careful when stacking it up.

Use to eat there all the time then took a break. Recently decided to eat there again and it literally tasted like I was eating different types of salt. Ive never had chicken so salt. I had to throw away a 20 dollar dish. Guys gotta do better for the prices.

Probably the most expensive buffet youll attend but its definitely worth it! Everything here is amazing! The meats are marinated with such flavor and easy to chew. If you really want to work this to your best advantage, avoid getting the premium meats so they dont charge the whole plate the premium $/lbs.Get your sides first and go at it. Then get a separate transaction for any bbq you get!Their red hot sauce is FIRE!

You want the awesomeness of flaming swords with smoked meat and pork? Do you want to choose your sides (if any) and not be limited by a set menu? Do you want the goodness of Brazilian BBQ without the expensive prices of every other place? LOOK. NO. FURTHER. This is THE place to get a huge yes for every single one of these questions.It is a buffet style bar at first, where youll get to pick what you want as a side for your meat (salads, pasta, mashed potatoes, etc...), and then you go up to the end where they have a huge grill with ALL the swords with meat. Choose your meat, how well cooked it is, and how many slices and theyll serve you up. Then just get charged for the weight of the plate! I usually get a salad or pasta, mashed potatoes, the AWESOME fried plantains (sweet, for dessert) and about 3 slices of 2 to 3 cuts of meat. All this goodness? This meal thatll keep you going all day? $15 or less on average. Youll never wait, theres plenty of seating, and at the end you just walk out and theyll clean up after you. The place is also very nice, with restaurant level chairs, tables, utensils even though it is buffet focused.Best place my friend ever showed me. I love it.

The best place to eat you take what you want especially if someone is on the famous blood type diet. Taste and choices are awesome, clean happy environment. Very low priced 👍👍👍 For sure to come back again. This place will be my permanent destination for brunch,lunch or dinner. Me and my husband paid 25-$ with 2 beverages. I had a huge salad w/pasta black beans and avocado. Husband had salad. rice w/lamb.

Love this place for the food, it would get 5 stars but it lacks ambience and the location is not great. The meat is awesome and all the rest of the eats are fresh and tasty. Cant say enough to praise this little restaurant. Price is reasonable especially when you consider the quality of whats on offer.

Good selection of food at pretty reasonable prices. Its a cafeteria style setup where you grab a tray and ask someone on the other side of the counter what youd like, then proceed down the line for different foods. Can get busy, but the line moves fairly quick.

Pampas is great because they choose the best quality meat, l think the price is ok although some of my friends dont agree. I dont like the fact that is a buffet style and sometimes is hard to keep the serving area neat. But if you are willing to ignore those little things and give value to the fact that they use the best quality meat and is always excellent then you will enjoy and have a good time. But l think is about time for the ownership to upgrade the place or find a cooler place to represent the great food they serve. Overall is great.

Good food in a self service format. Lots of choices before the meat and they are good, but not exceptional. The meat / churrasco selections are consistently good. You seat yourself and they clear the table. You pay by weight and it is not inexpensive.

It was not a smart idea to look for a restaurant late at night, but we did find this one. I strongly recommend the teriyaki chicken. The drinks are also excellent. I tried the bloody mary, and it did not fail, and the staff were very polite and attentive. This restaurant comes highly recommended by us!

Usually good taste but today I ordered the sirloin cab steak was super hard and nothing to eat. Maybe the new guy who doesn’t have skills cutting the meat or something the reason? Or quality is changed??? I’m so disappointed.

I find this place to be hit or miss. Sometimes their picanha is incredible, other times it tastes dry and rubbery. I guess it depends on how busy they are... Not sure. They have a big selection of salads and cold sides as well as warm sides. Our favorite is the picanha. Thats what we go here for. A little goes a long way. But honestly I prefer their location in The Grove. I feel that because theyre always busy, the meat is constantly moving and has never been dry!

This place is honestly one of the best restaurants in Culver City imo. While its slightly on the pricey side the food is worth it. Everything tastes great and they have a variety of healthy and more filling foods. Highly reccomend, good for large groups as well, just not at night cause it gets packed.

This place is great! They have an authentic Brazilian Barbecue. The meet preparation and quality equals to Fogo de Chao. It is by the pound and not rodizio style. I have been a customer for years and found the same quality every visit. Brazilians are always happy and treat you so nice. 100% recommended.

The meat is tasty and the couple of national favorite dishes made authentically and well in this cafeteria style, casual place. They have three locations in LA now. CAUTION: you are probably taking much more than you will eat, and unless you are taking it home beware -- the food is weighed by the pound! Wines that are friendly, and go well with th food are also offered at only $6 t0 $10, served with a smile and a generous pour. The staff is Brazilian and happy to tell you all about the dishes.

I prefer this location over the one in the Farmers market section of the Grove. There is less of a line & easier parking. Plus, its located next to Ralphs & an electronics store. This easily ticks off all the errand running I need to do.This feels more like a casual, assembly-line diner. The salad bar, pastas, & stews are good but the main draw for me is the garlic chicken. How do they manage to produce such flavorful, succulent chicken?! I tend to get tired of chicken easily but never here. Prices are by weight (it costs what you make it depending on how hungry you are) & service is fast. Its the best of both worlds: easy, consistently good, & healthy

Review №122

2019-09-13 07:03:30

Brazilian grill at its best with salad bar. You fill your plate with as much as you want then you pay which is great. I prefer it over the all you can eat concept which comes to 2, 3x more expensive and it encourages gorging on food.Quality, clean, casual.Yummy.Neighborhood restaurant

The best bang for buck Brazilian food on the West side. The people who work there are nice and most of them are actually Brazilian so you will get the Brazilian flavor and cultural experience here. I love this place so much my husband and I go at least once week. Make sure to try the cheese bread.

Food is good, but staff are unhelpful. You pay by pound. meat is priced higher than salad and carbs. I came with my friend and wanted to separate meat and salad to get correct price. But a guy at meat section insisted to put meat on both plates, therefore I ended up paying higher price on both plates.

Awesome place for lunch or dinner. It has a plentiful salad bar/warm food buffet and all of the mainstream cuts of beef served at churrascarias in Brazil. Im from Brazil and this place gets my thumbs up. It can be a little $$$, but who cares. Just enjoy.

Review №135

2016-08-09 17:57:03

If you have ever really wanted to taste real Brazilian food and I am truly talking about the meat then this is the place to go. All the meats are grilled with just salt and no other spices or sauces just salt. The true taste of the meat is every bite . Once you go Pampas you can never go back to eating anywhere else. Great food.

Pampas has become part of our weekly life when going out for a meal. Good food (great cheese bread), nice people and overall a quiet place (with enough room in and outside). Meat is nicely cooked. Overall a very solid option when going out for a quick dinner or lunch

Make sure you check the receipt after your payment. I had ”meatBBQ+hot dish+Salad.” which was 12 something bucks for a pound in the main menu, but when I was checked out, I was charged 17 something for a pound😳. I came back to the counter asked if that was a mistake?? she replied with no respect. ”You have a lot of meat; we always do that”😳😳. I confronted her by saying, why is it not written at the mainboard?? She was silent!! My advice for you to always double check your receipt and compare it with the price on the main board at the restaurant.

Meat is hit or miss, depending whos cooking it. Sometimes is perfectly cooked and seasoned and other times its just dry. There can be a crazy line sometimes but its usually manageable. Cost is per lb of food you get. 3 different prices - vegetarian, mixed and just meat. There is a inside and outside seating. Definitely worth it to come here and eat if youre craving some Brasilian food and want variety.

The line was long when we went but moved fast. The dudes cutting meat were patient and were knew just how many slices I should have from all the cuts I wanted without exploding. Get the cheese balls, eggplant salad, banana squash, vinegar dipping sauce, and I liked stuffing my cheese ball with the tabbouleh salad. Skip the fish in my opinion.

Self-serve (pay by weight) but, it makes this local Brazilian-style gem totally affordable if you arent looking for that constant barrage of meat-servers coming at you while you eat! I cant wait to return to this place as it was recommended to me by a local!

I WOULD GIVE NO STARS IF I COULD...I was ordering my meat and the guy behind the counter dropped the knife, picked it up on the floor and started cutting the meat again. Asked if he was going to changed his gloves and he looked at me like its no big deal. ITS A BIG DEAL!!!

Ive been her several times. Today I was not happy. The potato salad was very weak in flavor. The peas were tasteless. The beef stew was saltine. In the past the small containers were never weighted just a flat charge if they were full,half full or med full.

Review №150

2018-06-04 20:10:51

Huge selection of food that you can serve yourself. All the salads and carbs are delicious, and the meats are very spiceful and tender.The only problem is their water situation. You have to ask for water at the cashier when you first pay for your food. They give you one small cup of water and never come by to refill it. If you want more water you have to wait in the food line or cut in line and ask the cashier to refill your cup. I dont understand why they cant let customers refill their own water or have staff come by to refill. I just bring my own water bottles to avoid succumbing to thirst.

The only negative comment I have is that they always overcook the meat and then you ask for medium and they cut a bunch of well done and say that they dont have medium and if yiu dont take the meat they will throw it away. Other than that the food is really good.

Great Buffet style Churascaria. They have lots of salad dishes, rice, beans, veggies and traditional Brazilian extras like fried plantains. Meat( beef,chicken, pork,lamb,sausage) gets cut off large spots that are being roasted behind the counter. You pay by weight.They also have desserts and wine/beer. On weekends there can be long lines and few available tables, but it is really good food...

Hands down my favorite place to eat in Los Angeles. I love this place and will forever recommend this place to any and everyone. Fresh food daily, everything high quality and fresh. Great sides like garlic rice, Caesar salad, pasta, mashed potatoes, black beans, and a whole lot more. Excellent steak & chicken options, I recommend the tri-tip, sirloin cap, spicy chicken, & garlic beef. This is literally one of the best places to eat in Los Angeles in my opinion. 5 stars everytime!

The BBQ is where its at. Garlic beef is some amazing stuff. Most of their offerings are fresh, but the beef stew and chicken stroganoff was dry and overcooked (understood, it was on the steam tray). Id suggest getting salads and such and just piling BBQ on at the end.

I felt like i entered a tiny Cliftons buffet arisen like a phoenix from the ashes of its former incarnation! This time Brazillian!! Your large plate of food will be weighed. Big Appetite including chicken or beef will be around $30. or less. I got lots of veggies and no meat (vegetarian for me) and came out to $25.02. That included 2 12oz. cans of Brisk.

Prices are more a suggestion than fact; expect to pay more than listed prices for sub par meat.Requested medium rare, with emphasis on RARE, butcher cut slices med-well...when I asked for med RARE...butcher turned, pretended to look at spin rack and care...then advised this was best he could do...I shouldve walked out...Also ordered chicken breast...EQUALLY DISAPPOINTING...I was raised on a ranch...Dad was an award winning cattleman...I know a little about beef...and chicken.Both beef and chicken were dry and had more in common with seasoned cardboard.Smash Burger or CPK across the parking lot wouldve been better choices...even the McDs across the street probably has better food.Lesson Learned: Unless you like paying too much for sub par food, SKIP THIS PLACE!!!

Not bad but not great. I thought this was a traditional spot but here, you pay per pound. While there were Brazilian folks working here, there were only Asian customers - first clue that perhaps it wasnt good by Brazilian standards. Food was so so...the line was long and while employees were nice, the no manner having Southeast Asian customers were reaching over our plates and shoving against us the whole time because ...well, culturally maybe thats OK for them, but its obnoxious.

Wow! Dont let the buffet style fool you into thinking. This isnt authentic Brazilian steakhouse. The meat was melting in my mouth with an explosion of flavors! Everything was amazing and what great prizes! No Fogo da chao for me! This place was great

Pampas grill is Brazilian cuisine. Between 3 and 6 in the afternoon from M-Thu is 10% discount. Its more like a cafeteria where you self serve and there are more than 30 items from salads, pasta, rice, different breads including garlic, chicken straganoff, beef and fish. Also the end of the items, you can get meat cuts. Its a delicious fare.

Brazilian joint with delicious meat and sides served cafeteria style. They have several beef cuts, lamb and chicken. Good for groups and dining with the family.
