At $22 per plate, it is a bit out of our price range, but I bought a Groupon and decided to try it. The decor was very common under the flourescent lighting and the food was mediocre. The salad bar was very limited, as was the rest of the buffet. I had high hopes for the meats brought around on spits by the servers. The garlic beef was very garlicky, but was just as long on grissle. The top sirloin was fatty. The bacon-wrapped chicken was dry. Somehow the chicken in the stroganoff was just as dry and flavorless despite being covered in cream sauce. The bill was presented and we gave the server the Groupon and credit card. Imagine my dismay when a mandatory $10 tip had been added which was not produced on the original bill before presentation of the Groupon. The Groupon was $15 for $30 worth of food, so after the addition of the 'tip' (for buffet service?) the net savings was a pithy $5. We will not be returning.
I tend to like Brazillian BBQ. The food, well it didn't ruin the experience, but it could have been better. Small salad bar with not so good meat could have been tolerable. But then management stepped in and made things go down hill. The only constructive thing I can say is that hopefully they will improve in the future.
Look at the latest string of one star reviews, spread across a couple of days. look at the number of reviews each person has. If you're going to try to get all of your friends to slam a restaurant (or register under multiple names and do it yourself), at least try to cover your tracks a little better.
