Churrasqueira Bairrada Restaurant

My review is based solely on my experiences with the menu item Rodizio. I have gone to this establishment countless times in my life. I think for the last decade i have spent 7/10 of my birthdays here! There simply is no better food for your money if you are looking to spend steakhouse money. For 38~$ (+tax/tip) you get unlimited steak and a wide variety of other meats and numerous sides. Why go to a steakhouse and order/pay for sides and at the end of the meal question whether you could eaten another full steak?  You couldn't leave this restaurant hungry if you tried! More...

I chose to celebrate my birthday at Churrasqueira Bairrada this last Friday. The food was amazing, and the steak was cook perfectly, the way we asked. .. Miguel, the manager was very friendly and professional, he made sure everyone is treated right and happy... you  will have to wait a little bit if you get there late,  but it is so worth it!!! I can't wait to go back and have the yummy Rodizio and steaks!!!! More...

This is one of my favorite Brazilian steakhouses. I've been here at least 5 times and have never been disappointed. The rodizio is a go to, they have great cuts of meats and don't be afraid to ask for double of what you like. The ribs and steak are great. The sides are a great pairing with the food and the drinks are good. The place does get busy so make sure you get there with enough time to wait. They will always have a soccer game on the screens to enjoy. The desserts and coffee are also great. The egg white dessert is amazing. More...

A festival of meat. The meat just keeps on coming in a flurry of flavor. Tender, delicious and seasoned perfectly. That smoked flame taste is soooo goooood.  They serve with so many tasty sides.  I ate so much I can hardly breath. The atmosphere is alive and the service is unmatched. My water glass and plate were never empty.  I love this place. A definite must go. Make sure not to eat for a few days prior. Can't move. Slipping into a meat coma and loving every minute. More...

I have no idea how I have yet to review this place! At this point, what does my one silly review matter? Lol. They are all true. It is fantastic. Food is always so incredibly delicious. Gary, the manager, is incredibly kind & personable. We love him. Our favorite servers are Ismael & Nelson, but we have never had a single one we didn't like. Mr. Carvalho, the owner, is wonderful. When he is around, he always makes a point to say hello & makes sure to make every single one of his guests feel abundantly welcome & appreciated. The bussers & gentlemen serving the meats are also always super nice. We love eating here & will continue to be lifelong loyal customers! Our onlyyyy - MINOR - negative is that sometime the hostesses aren't the most pleasant or welcoming. However, I have also seen very busy nights where some customers are far less than kind to them, so I guess I can understand being a little blah at work. More...

Delicious Portuguese rodizio! Churrasqueira Bairrada is great if you're looking to load up on all you can eat meat. They have sausage, steak, chicken, and a couple of other things I cannot remember, not the most options but the standard ones. When you do the rodizio option you get plantains, french fries, pickled veggies, salad, and collard greens for the table (there is a bread basket as well - don't spoil your meal!). All the food was good and went well with the meats, although some of the meat did lean on the blander side of the spectrum, the hot sauce and pickled veggies helped in that area. No reservations so if you go early enough you won't have any problems since there is parking in the back and metered parking in the front. My party of 9 got there at 3:45 on a Saturday and were seated with no problem. Overall its a good food for a great price, you can't go wrong especially if you're feeding a large group of people. FYI the people aren't the most attentive or friendly, most of the servers are stern the whole time, don't be alarmed. More...

Ive been coming to this restaurant for the past 19 years. The servers are always so polite and friendly. The food is THE BEST! !!! Definitely get the rodízio, where they come to your table with delicious meat. Not too pricey for the amount of the food that you eat. Worth every penny. Also make sure to try their sangria!!!

The skirt steak (medium well) was delicious. The place was crowded and it seemed like the tables were small, but this was a great choice for a best man dinner with friends and family. Others on the table ordered things like a gigantic rib thing straight out of the flintstones which was awesome, a rib soup thing, and a huge cut of salmon.It can be pretty expensive however, but overall a great and filling experience.

This place is amazing. When we eat in we always do the rodizio, and when we order take out we order the whole chicken and kebabs. Portions are huge for both dine in and takeout. The rodizio, is very generous and i love that i dont have to make a choice with sides, they automatically give you alittle bit of everything. All the meats are so flavorful and tender. There is a bit of spice to the flavor, so be aware if you are sensitive. Wait times were fair. We go on the weekends, and a table for two is usually a 15min wait. As far as handicap accessibility, it is extremely limited. The back entrance, where the hostess stand is, and parking, has stairs you have to go down. There is a front entrance where you pick up to go orders that is entry level. The tables are packed pretty tight, so if you need special arrangements, maybe call ahead to let them be aware. More...

Excellent Portuguese style BBQ (spit roasted with lots of salt)! The rotisserie chicken is delicious, and always moist and tender - one of our favorite dishes on Long Island.

Very warm staff! Not too bad of a wait on a Friday night. I came with my group of 6 for a birthday dinner and while they don't take reservations, the front receptionist was a college age girl who took our names down and we were seated within half an hour. The rodizio meat show began at 8pm after they served us the complimentary salad (nothing special but a very refreshing light dressing on thinly sliced onion, tomatoes and crisp fresh iceberg lettuce) with bread and olives. Once the meats got going, the sides came out with fried plantains, rice, home made fried potato chips, thin-cut fries, green leaf vegetables in in garlic oil, black beans with meat, and pickled onions in vinegar to cut some of that meatiness. They started on the bacon-wrapped chicken and sausages, followed by the pork spare ribs, then the juicy tender bone in beef ribs, and some medium and medium-rare steaks. One thing to note is that many people people complain that it's a bit too salty and that is true. The flavors on the outside of the meats are a lot pronounced and saltier possibly due to the outside being smoked which does concentrate the flavors. The meats were all very flavorful on the inside, but not too salty. One of my party members had to cut away all the exterior to get at the juicy tender meats on the inside. There is a minor flavor profile of lighter fluid/fuel in the meats. For those of you who charcoal bbq and  don't let the lighter fluid cook off the before putting on the meats ....know what I'm talking about. Depending on who you have as your waiter, you may need to ask the other waitstaff to grab his attention, however, for a bday dinner, the staff did go beyond to make it memorable. We had the heavenly cream dessert, carrot cake, and flan with coffee. I definitely recommend heavenly cream with a cake order. Damage came out to about ~$300, two and a half hours later. More...

Went to Churrasqueira Bairrada last night with a small group of people from work. We had a really good time.All of us ordered the Rodizio. The food came out quickly but we were not rushed. I ate a little bit of everything - Bacon wrapped turkey, sausages, pork, chicken, strip steak & chateaubriand. It was all very flavorful and reminded me of a really good family barbecue. Wine was reasonably priced, which was a plus. Desserts were good... but my favorite was the Portuguese coffee.

I think I almost chewed my poor fingers off, and gnawed through the metal utensils. My fish came with multiple sides for the table, all extra yummy. Simple too, which let the fish really shine. My pallet was clean and not fighting to taste flavors. The rice, boiled potatoes, fries, potato chips and veggies with garlic was all really amazing.

First time here with my friend who has been coming for years. Will definitely be back. I loved sitting down to a salad on the table as I was starving and did not want to eat the bread (I'm gluten free). The bread did look fabulous. We ordered a chicken and a half and took home a 1/4 of a chicken. The black beans are delicious both alone or with the rice. My friend loves the homemade potato chips. They were not my favorite.

Went out to celebrate my g/f's 50th.  Including her, there were 7 adults and 4 kids.For a Tuesday night at 6:30 PM, it was quite busy but we were seated quickly. Water glasses were filled and drink orders were taken. Kids all got various glasses of soda. Adults got two pitchers of Sangria and a beer.  Rolls/bread, dish of green & black olives, and a group salad.After drinks arrived, everyone placed their order (please, see their menu on the website).   Prior to the food arriving, the waiter served us a plate/bowl of rice,  a plate/bowl of broccoli and carrots, home made potato chips, home made french fries,  and two bowls of "i have no idea."Then the food arrived. I cannot recall what everyone got but my g/f got the Rodizio.  For this, there is no sharing allowed and no doggie bag.  The waiter just keeps coming back and serving different pieces of meat from a skewer.  It was amazing.  She ate quite a bit of meat.  I had the Espetada Mista....shish kabob w/veggies and meat.  Delicious.  But mine was one serving..unlike the Rodizio.  Most of the meals started at $27.00.  The Rodizo was about $39.00...but remember...it was eat as much as you want for that one.Next up was dessert. Again...check their menu.  I had the tres leches.   It was worth the $8.50. Most of the desserts were priced at $8.50Expensive place to eat but worth it!!    A nice treat to go once in a blue moon just due to cost. More...

Came here for a dinner to end our vacation. Upon arrival, we noticed that not only were both parking lots in the rear full, and no parking in the streets within walking distance, that upon finding a spot in the lot after waiting for some time, we enter the restaurant to discover how insanely packed this place was. The wait for 2 of us was over 1 hour 20 minutes. We put our name down for a table reservation at the hostess stand and made our way over to the tiny bar ledge to order a pitcher of sangria while we waited. Upon getting a table, we already knew what we wanted, since we looked over the menu while waiting to get called to get seated at our table. The server greeted us with bread and a salad to share. We ordered another pitcher of sangria to share. My lady ordered the 1/2 chicken and it was just OKAY. I ordered the rodizio and loved it very much. (I will include photos of our dinner and what we ate). Aside from the overcrowded waiting area, we had a good experience here and will definitely be back. More...
