Brasa Rodizio - Brazilian restaurant in Mineola - 100 Herricks Rd, USA

I love anything that's Portugal. From Porto wine to porcelain tiles to bacalao to pulvo. And my favorite will be the wood fired charcoal bbq. From the moment you park your car in the parking lot, you smell the wood fired rodizio. That's heavenly. This is not a fancy restaurant. Not at all. They use ingredients and dinnerwares straight from the Restaurant Depot warehouse. But who cares? They perfectly pair well with the wood fired rodizio. This kind of restaurant reminds me of small & independently owned eatery on the hills of Lisbon and Porto. And most importantly, they are mass producing my favorite piri piri oil in a jar. I haven't been to this restaurant since I moved to NJ (and FL) and I miss them quite a lot. No, Fogo de Chao (while excellent on their own) is not the same.

First time here celebrating in laws birthday. The food is family style you choose your entree and they give you a plate of rice, fries, beans, veggies and salad, you can ask for more without extra charge for the shared plates. The salad was amazing the dressing is so fresh. I LOVE the sangria it’s the BEST sangria I have ever had. The empanada is filled and flaky and soft. The place itself is comfortable and well taken care of. Will definitely come back.

we walked in for lunch and asked if the all you can eat was available. we ordered it and waited 45 mins for any food besides bread to come to our table. very underwhelming, the food wasn’t all that.

Not the prettiest restaurant but the lamp chops are to die for. The steaks were cooked perfectly. The fish was tasty but a little overcooked so it was a little dried.

My very favorite restaurant. This lovely, friends and family style restaurant is just where you can get quality, quantity and value. It has delicious food. The best chicken, so tasty, and the all you can eat mixed meat special($55), along with paella are fan favorites. The sides that come with your entree choice are so wholesome, fresh and plentiful. It is a comfortable restaurant, which feels like you are in a quaint dining room filled with happy "foodies". The place is spotless. The bathrooms are spotless with hot water, that's right .....where ?? can you get hot water in any restaurant bathroom. Let us get to the service....hardest working staff, I have ever encountered. Even the owner, Joe jumps in and helps staff when it gets very busy. He truly takes pride in his restaurant and wants perfection for his clientele. Every person has their task, yet they are very team oriented. Shout out to Elvira and Wilmer, who are both also wonderful. Once you experience Brasa, it will be high on your list of great places to eat, which have become fewer in this day and age. Try this restaurant. You will be very pleased. Brasa Rocks!!!!

We've had a few meals here over the years, I've never been disappointed. Food is always fresh and well prepared. Service was very good, and the place was busy. I've seen some reviews that were not so flattering, I imagine that they were very discerning foodies that haven't ever experienced a good meal. Mixed grill was fantastic, the chicken was a bit under seasoned but everything else was banging! Seafood Paella was also fantastic, healthy potion, loaded with shrimp, scallops amd lobster. Whole chicken was cooked perfectly, great portion and served fresh from the rotisserie. I'm not the guy that throws out 4 stars on the regular, and never give 5 stars....Brasa earned it.

Brasa Rodizio is an excellent choice if you are looking for an affordable rodizio. It is much cheaper than other rodizios such as Fogo de Chao and Texas de Brazil. Although perhaps not as high quality or fancy interior decorations as its competitors, Brasa Rodizio offers a warm, welcoming environment with good food. I have also had their salmon, chicken, and calamari all of which were delicious. I also cannot believe how fantastic their house salad is!! Overall, a good spot for a bite to it.

Delicious grilled chicken! Friendly and welcoming staff!
