This place is seriously good. Amazing lunch Buffet with actual churrascaria meats!

Love the grilled up choices of meat they have available! Makes me feel like I'm eating actually street food from Brazil!

Their food is good, but don’t depend on the closing time that is posted.

Delicious fresh food and grilled meats.

You can go in and pick up prepared hot food. We enjoyed our meals.

This place is amazing. Family owned and the family all works there. The lovely daughter and mother, Graca, were very helpful when I called in advance for the day I needed. They had the most amazing array of desserts. Brigadiero, Dulce de leche, Passion Fruit mouse/pudding, Tres Leches cake/pastry, and Caramel fudge-like dessert (forgot the name). I was going to my Brazilian friends Bbq and wanted to bring desserts that they couldn’t normally get. Not only did they have the most authentically and homemade desserts by Graca, the owner, mother and chef, but they had so many treats and options that were from when my friend was little and were homemade by her mom. They weren’t renditions, they were the real deal. Also to add to my order they had so many delicious chocolates imported from Brazil. I was so excited to bring a taste of home to them and treats from their childhood. When I arrived at the bbq, my friends mom said this is what she made when my friend was 5 years old. We couldn’t wait to eat it so had a taste before the bbq!They were not only easy, because I wanted to bring an array and wasn’t sure how much I would need (since individual servings), but they had it all ready and available when I needed. They were AMAZING and also the most delicious desserts I had ever tried (I’ve had many different Brazilian desserts over the years). The daughter was so sweet and helped me so much with selecting the perfect sweets, and Graca was just as lovely and is an extremely talented cook/baker.When I told my friends mom where I got it, she remembered meeting Graca in the Brazilian community before she opened the restaurant. She said she told her how good she was and had to open a restaurant. So she knew Graca and was thrilled to see she opened her own restaurant. Graca was very kind to her and a part of the community. That’s a plus in my book!There is nothing like having a true and real taste of home. But to have them be the best version, from a family owned and run restaurant, with the kindest family, was even more special!Side note, I tried a place before it, called Taste of Brazil, and when I went there to buy dessert, they failed to have what I ordered days prior. Taste of Brazil was not only rude about it and when I told them very kindly and respectfully how I wished I wasn’t told that the desserts would be ready and available, because I stuck, the woman started raising her voice at me and was anything but apologetic. She was mean and had a temper where no temper was needed. The place was very filthy and their desserts were not what you get at restaurant da graca. They were not authentic, were a rendition of the real thing and looked underwhelming in comparison. They also sold what I was told to come pick up. The walls and doors were never cleaned and it was run down, looked like they never passed an inspection. After my preordered failure with Taste of Brazil, I googled Brazilian food in a pinch and how I found the lovely Restaurant da Graca...in a pinch because Taste of Brazil left me empty handed at the last minute. Do not go to Taste of Brazil. It’s not a place run by kind people whom follow through. When I went to Graca, it was Brazilian authentic food and a very lovely, kind, accommodating, and clean establishment. The desserts homemade and how it’s done in Brazil, not the fake Brigadiero that the filthy and rude Taste of Brazil had. In addition, the food at Gracas restaurant was amazing and a churrascaria.You will be not be disappointed, will be in food heaven at Restaurante da Graca, and they are kind, reliable and an uber clean and family ran establishment. So so helpful too! Thank you Graca for saving the day! If you want real and the best Brazillian food, this is the place to go! Worth traveling to if you live far away!

Delicious, authentic, and fresh food ! Great experience! Obrigado ❤️

Nice place but no salt in the food

last night was the first time we visited this excellent restaurant. But It is absolutely not the last time. We had great time with the courteous service, with the great cuisine and fine drinks and with the comfortable price. We will surely go back there again.

Delicious buffet style Brazil food. The meat was cook perfectly very tasty.
