Brazilian Barbeque

I want to start this off by saying that I have enjoyed traditional, grandmother prepared, Brazilian food for over 15 yearsamd was actually a sever back in 2013. I tried this place again but I was told, after I'd had gotten my food , that it doesn't season any of the food except for the meat with MSG due to people's having low sodium tolerances which makes zero sense as MSG is full sodium. I got the sirloin which was very tasty but was full of fat. All of salad bar food is bland and was confirmed to have no salt, pepper, vinegar or any flavorings other than oil. The rice, the beans, the chicken, everything is done bland as people "have said" no they be didn't like the amount of salt, but yet again thats the MSG that was put on all the meat to make it cook faster. the yuca was under cooked and the waiters and waitresses just stand around chatting in the drink corme offering no help while accepting tips for only bringing drinks to a table and packing to go orders AKA undeserving of tips and I work in the hospitality industry so nah. Mind you I paid $50 for two can soda and two plates that were not even remoty full. I called the store hoping I could get a partial refund or something and I was told that there were customers coming in and they were busy and could not take my call she wouldn't even give me the manager's number. Good luck to those who come here.

Food was amazing! Service was outstanding. Please go try. We'll definitely be back. Not bad price either. Less than 50$ for two and it was a good portion. I'll put up a picture next time. It was so yummy I couldn't stop to take a pic hahaha

Ate here twice now and this is a great Brazilian restaurant with really good barbecue meats. 2 ways to order $38 all you can eat and $11.99 per lb. Tried both, I prefer the pay by lb. Unless you’re a really big eater.

Solid selection at a good price. This place is buffet style sides with table side protein choices. We left absolutely stuffed having tried a small amount of each thing. Convenient location with ample immediate and overflow parking. This place is byob so if you want a glass of wine with dinner or a drink post meal to digest I suggest bringing a bottle or going to the packy across the street. The service was excellent throughout. Their English is not 100% but if you're going to a Brazilian steakhouse and put off by broken English then you need more than a meal (perhaps counseling). The only real complaint I'd have and I'm probably just uneducated of their food style is all the meat was well done. Just a personal observation but I'd prefer it cooked less. Otherwise the flavor and quality was great.

I've been eating at Pampas for years. I like my meats medium well because well done can be a bit dry for the steak. Try the lamb if you want something with a different taste. It's BYOB

Great meat, also great rice and beans. I enjoyed the steak as well as the chicken, the bacon chicken, and lamb quite a bit. Probably my favorite was the lamb, most popular is easily the strakt. They give a lot of meat very quickly, recommend coming with an appetite.

Great tasting food and very friendly service; would definitely go again.All the meats were well flavored and tender; typical salad bar for side accompaniments was good.Downsides (minor);The tables and overall décor could use bit of updating.No children price for unlimited steak option.Parking is meh; but eh Worcester, at least they have a free private lot.

Great food and flavor! Great price! And the place is clean and nice

The rice here is always flavorful and they have plenty of sides and meats to choose from. I'm obsessed with their grilled pineapple topped with cinnamon! A little pricey though.

Great food for the price and large portions
