Loved the food and service! Servers were very loving and attentive! I got the mixed grilled meat platter, steak was good as well as the pork and chicken. Only thing I didn’t like was the chorizo. Loved that they had an open buffet. I had the fried chicken, fried fish fillet, salad, croutons, and fried sweet plantains. The cheese and olives were nice and fresh too. They had Chimichurri sauce for the meats, I completely forgot about it but it looked good! I never had Brazilian food before so it was exciting to try another culture’s food. Their passion fruit mousse was so smooth and delicious. The passion fruit virgin mojito was amazing as well, it was perfectly sour and love that they used freshly squeezed lime juice! Would love to go back and try more menu items! The restaurant is very family friendly I feel like it would be nice to celebrate a birthday here.❤️

Very lively in here. First time I went to the bar. I usually get the rodizio. Food outside of rodizio pretty good. Had a caparihna got so lit so fast. It was pretty good. Service was good too. I’d come again

I had a solid experience at Brasilia Grill’s rodizio, earning it a well-deserved 4 stars. The vibe was chill and relaxed, especially since I went around 5pm on a Monday when it wasn’t crowded at all—perfect for a low-key dinner. The meats were the highlight, with the lamb stealing the show; it was tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. The variety of cuts was impressive, and the servers kept them coming at a nice pace. My only gripe was the salad bar. A lot of the vegetables, like the asparagus, were cold—almost frozen, which was a bummer since I prefer them hot. It wasn’t a dealbreaker, but it kept the experience from being a full 5 stars. Parking was convenient right next door, just a heads-up to tip the security guard. Overall, a great spot for meat lovers looking for a laid-back rodizio experience, and I’d definitely go back.

One of my favorite spots for steak and other grilled meats. If you’re hungry you can order the Rodizio which is all you can eat. The waiters bring fresh cuts of different meats right to your table. When ordered you also have access to the salad buffet. I had a plate of Picanha & skirt steak with rice, beans, and fried bananas. The capirinhas are freshly prepared at the bar. People come alone and eat at the bar or come with the entire family to celebrate a birthday at the dinning room. Overall it’s a great place to enjoy Brazilian steak and food.

Amazing everything came out perfect. Second time being able to have an event here and everything was perfect. Thank you guys for everything. (Alexandra and Geo wedding April 26th )

The meat quality is good; however, the dining room was pretty empty on the night I visited, so most meats were overcooked. They kept bringing out the same 4-5 meats, and you had to specifically ask for other options, such as grilled pineapple and lamb. I waited 10 minutes for the lamb to come out, and it was way overcooked. Overall, it’s very overpriced—$48 for all-you-can-eat, and with auto-applied tips, it comes to about $60 per person.

We had a large party for dinner and made reservations in advance. When we arrived at the restaurant, they didn't have my name on the list. We showed them the confirmation and they set up a table for us. My family has been eating here for a many years. The food is always good and the service is always great. The only issue I had, was we could only have the endless meat option. We had a child with us and was charged full price. If we had known, we would have not eaten there. They should have advertised that that was the only option. The hostess should have told us and it should have been advertised in the website as a mother's day special.

This is a must visit place for fantastic Brazilian BBQ. Whenever I visit the area, I always try to come here. The food is simply perfect. My only concern comes down to hidden fees. Recently, they started charging extra for certain side dishes without disclosing it during the order process, or there's a cash "discount" compared to paying with a credit card. I only learned of these after payment. This is disappointing, especially because the food is truly outstanding.

We went to Brasilia Grill for a birthday dinner and we were lucky to get seated right away. There was a bar on the side of the restaurant. They served us our drinks right away, the meats came in immediately as we did the Brazilian bbq option. There was a lot of variety when it came to meat options, and servers are very attentive to come and bring over their options. It's worth it for the meat but not the buffet. Most of the buffet was cold, and I was full from the meat. At the end they give you grilled pineapple. We also tried 2 desserts which were good but nothing amazing. Because it's Newark right next to Ferry, parking can be tough, so I would recommend going early to look around for parking.

WOW, just WOW!!! This place was absolutely delicious. It was $45 per person for rodizio and buffet which is a great value. The buffet bar had salad, potato salad, pasta, potatoes, rice and beans, beef stew, plantains, & more. You can eat as much as you want since it was included in the $45 (***2 hour maximum***). The staff walks around with meat so quickly and it is never ending. We had top sirloin, skirt steak, roast beef, steak wrapped in bacon, chicken wrapped in bacon, pork, chicken on the bone, etc. the food was absolutely delicious and it was great that there were so many options. The staff were very nice and very attentive with our beverages and with clearing the plates. I also had the chocolate mousse for dessert which I did not get a photo of but it was absolutely delicious. I will definitely be back here!!!

Worst Brazilian place in the Ironbound I have ever been. Waited almost an hour for 2 orders of MEDIUM RARE and MEDIUM picanha. Got overcooked tasteless...like not even salt... pieces of tough leather. Decor is nonexistent, buffet unimpressive. Fortunately the waiter discounted the check a little, but they should have paid us to eat that garbage.

Nice place with an amazing Brazilian vibe! The staff was warm and friendly! The meat sampler I thought was very tasty however I wasn't a big fan of the seafood paella. They had live music the night I was there and the place had a nice energy about it!

Came on a Sunday fro. Booklyn and sat at the bar with my date. I ordered the lamb churrascaria, which was ok. The chicken heart was the best. The yuca powder with shrimp was sooo good it reminded me of shrimp with grits. The tile fish stew was ok it came with rice. The fried yuca was good as well. I didn't care for the collard greens with garlic, though. The passion fruit caipirnha was ok, but it was pure passion fruit juice, which was good. I would Def. Go back for all you can it. Check it out. Parking is free and just have to tip. Nice staff

I haven't been back here since before the COVID lockdown happened. The food is exactly as I recall. It was delicious. It's a bit salty but still worth it. The rodizio is $38/person with a two hour limit. The ambiance is quaint and they had live music by the bar. The service is also impeccable. There is a slight language barrier with the waitresses but it's doable. I don't have anything negative to say about this place. I'm glad I went back. It's been over 3 years since we've been there. I highly recommend it and I will be back. Parking might be an issue but it's doable. They have their own small lot that you can park for tips. There's another lot across the street that's $10 paid upfront. There is also street parking if you want to drive around.

I think they are selling horse meat!!! I just ordered a picahna at the bar and the first two slices were fine had the taste and texture, but the slices after that did not taste the same, so ask the batsman's for an additional order of picahna, and she took for ever, so ask "what's the problem, I just want an additional order of meat, she said "I'm waiting for the manager" and I said " why" the grill is right there and they can serve me another order, she said "no, that's not the same MEAT!!!!!!" I paused and walked right out. I Dont want to hear that the food I'm getting is not the same as the food been advertised.

The food was amazingggg. If you want a good portion that will feel you up, this is the place. Staff was very attentive although a bit delayed with the food we were so happy to have gone to this restaurant. It was our first time trying Brazilian food and we honestly loved it. The ambiance is very good you see a large diversity. Would definitely recommend.

The meat was delicious beef chicken lamb.....the salad bar had a nice variety including ribs to die for. The service was great very attentive. The place is casual and ok... The price for the rodizio is $45 (well worth) 12/16/23 The only thing I disliked is the tip was already added to the bill, I understand for parties of 4 or more but for 2 I don't think is right. I always tip accordingly to the service but never less than 15%. The parking next to the restaurant is convenient and they don't charge for it, they take tips only. Would I come back to the place ?.... Absolutely!!!!

My family found this place on tiktok so we decided to check it out because it seemed very popular. We went on Friday at 7pm and surprised it wasn't packed. Social distancing between table were in place so you can feel safe while enjoying your meal. Service was quick, energetic and catering. We chose the "all you can eat barbecue" and the appetizers we got all tasted amazing and left us wanting more. Shortly the server arrived with our first round of meats. The meat is unlimited until you tell them you don't want no more. The meat ranged from all steaks, chicken and pork. I eat a lot so I definitely enjoy eating the array of meats. Cons: There were a few odd instances during our time at the restaurant. A random guy came in and started dancing and had to be asked to leave and a guy came in selling flowers and lottery tickets. It made the place seem very unprofessional...

Surprisingly satisfied with the meat and seasoning besine one that was a bit salty. This plac eis good, priced well but if you do not order the continued bbq meat you wont be getting the most for your money. It's unnecessary to order appetizers because the plates are huge, although they are delish and enjoyable. The drinks are made with lots of alcohol . The service is great! No real complaints, just need to love meat and a major appetite.

Nice festive place in downtown Iron bound. This one of my go to restaurant. They had live dancers ok Thursday nights not sure if they still do it. They have the option of full menu or rodizo in the main dining room and they have a full bar area that a separate menu. I personally prefer the bar menu. I typically get the garlic shrimp

Stumbled on this place for a late night grub and I was not disappointed. They were closing in 15 minutes but was able to accommodate us and serve us without hesitation. That's what great customer service looks like. The service was swift and the food was delicious. I prefer the bbq grill mix for appetizer and steak and onions for dinner. Steak comes with white rice, beans and a side of your choosing. The meal was large and can be shared. I enjoyed the meal and it was tasty. The servers were attentive and stopped by many times to ensure we were good. The grill mix can be a meal as well as it comes with veggies and farofa! They have a private parking lot which is free but tips are recommended. There is also street parking but read the signs. I love ironbound because there's always a hidden gem. I enjoyed my meals. I will definitely come back to try their all you eat.

Food is delicious, the drinks were deliciously strong, service was good. Only feedback is...gratuity is already included in the bill, if you're not careful enough they will suggest additional gratuity as well which was a surprise since it isn't disclosed to the customer....only a suggestion, advise that gratuity is included in the bill.

I ordered a Bife A Parmegiana because I was very hungry . When the food was delivered first of all when I open it ... it wasn't appealing. The food was tasteless on top of that the fact that it had in French fries , white rice with steak and cheese on top with sauce ... just with the food being tasteless made that combination even more unappealing. I wasted my money ... after about 3 taste I just threw the food in the garbage !!!!

Reminded me of my years living in São Paulo and eating at simple, family oriented rodizios like this. It felt and tasted like the real thing. The Chicken Hearts are to die for and the Picanha melts on the tongue. The offerings at the salad bar are simple and authentic..maionese, rice, beans, farofa, fries etc. The sweet tart brightness of their well made Caipirinhas put a smile on my face. Attentive staff. Off street parking. Worth a visit!

I have come to Brasilia several times and it is a solid 3; a mediocre churrascaria from all that I have had. The location is pretty nice and very large making it fairly easy for them to accommodate a large party. The buffet bar has many options to choose from. The meats are not as expansive as other places. My last visit there I was very disappointed and frustrated that we had to keep reminding the employees that our table only wanted well-done meat; even then, we kept being served meat that was dark on the outside but pink on the inside. In the end, I ended up leaving barely satisfied since I was not able to eat a lot of the meat that had been served. In addition, it was only after I asked if they had grilled pineapple (that I had eaten at another churrascaria) that they served it to us, although we have come at least 3 other times before and never been served the pineapple. In the end, their grilled pineapple was not as thoroughly grilled nor flavored like the one I had tasted before. Nevertheless, others at the table who had never tried grilled pineapple before enjoyed it. Overall, for the price, it is okay but I would personally prefer to go to another churrascaria where I could eat more meat, even if this means paying slightly more for better quality food and well-done meat that I can eat.

I want to give it a 4 but just can't. I'd say 3.5. The food itself was great but a lot of the experience lacked. When we first arrived (group of 3) we waited for 10 mins by the 'wait to be seated, sign, but not one person attended us so I went inside to the desk to ask. Someone just pointed at a table so I had to go back out to get my fiends & we sat. We waited over 20 minutes to be asked for our order even after I waved at multiple servers for assistance. Felt like dummies just sitting there. Server was very nice but no English, I speak Spanish so it was kind of close. There is no buffet style to get items yourself so the sides took over half hour to be brought out and they will NOT give you any of the meat UNTIL you have your sides delivered. A 4th friend arrived about an hour after us & that's when we were receiving our first plates & 2 pitchers of sangria. So it took over an hour after sitting to begin eating, not great when when we're all starving. The food was delicious and very filling. Once they began bringing the unlimited meat options (Rodizio de Churrasco) it was constant & the servers were great. Overall it was well priced for the amount of food received & the sangria was also very good. Was so hungry didn't get a chance to take pictures. Will be returning since the food was great so hopefully it'll be able to update this to a better review.

The place looks outstanding, its pretty crowded, the people are so nice, and the little buffett, the meat, the dessert, all food tastes amazing! It is pretty expensive but its worth it in my opinion. Great place!

We got there at 10pm, was a huge mistake. Meat was dry and overcooked plus I got leftovers from kitchen, side dishes were tasteless, we got mashed potatoes, collard greens and black beans, even mozzarella sticks were cold. And the pitcher of lemonade cost 18$. Would not suggest this place to noone after 9pm, better choose some where else.

Came on a Thursday night. As i have stated before I come to Brasilia at least 3 to 4 times a month. I had the most fun ever. Pamela our server was awesome. Funny and attentive. The other bar staff was really friendly this night too. They changed the servers in the bar area and I noticed a big difference in the vibe overall. I tried a Brasilia Margarita 2 for the 1st time. All you need is one and you are done. Good and strong. Just how i like my drinks. I see many bad reviews for this restaurant so here are some tips when you come. Sit at the bar area The red Sangria is good The breaded fish is very good The fried fish at the buffet is super good The picana is good. Med well

The food was just not great. Point blank. Many items were either flavorless or too salty. A lot of the meat had a lot of fat, too. The salad bar was lackluster. I was surprised to have food like this when I heard Newark had so many Brazilians. When we walked in, it smelled like old wet rags and fabuloso, which was unappealing. As soon as we stepped inside the eating area, we got hit with a horrible smell of petrol/kerosene which immediately caused us to have a headache before we had any food. Will have to try other rodizio spots around, or come back when this food isn't the weekend price.

The food was really good, we got rodizio and the meat was good, warm and cooked how you preferred, also the steak was cooked well. Considering covid Still going i wasn't expecting the best service but it was horrible. The 3 tables that came after us left before us We got taken care of by 3 different people. So we don't even know who our server was. All the tables around us were getting serviced fine, our server never came to check on us, the only time we got taken care of is when we called who ever was around to help us out.

Living in the Ironbound of Newark, you will of course encounter a great deal of Brazilian and Portuguese restaurants. However, Brasilia Grill is one that certainly stands out as one of the larger venues in town. It is divided into two areas, the main dining hall and the bar. I have only ever sat in the main dining area, but the bar seems very lively as well. They have a lot of items on their menu, but I came for the sole purpose of getting the Rodezio, which is basically an all you can eat buffet of their many choices of meat. They have bacon wrapped chicken, bacon wrapped beef, lamb, pork, sirloin steak, steak kebabs, chicken hearts and so much more. The atmosphere also feels very authentic, as you'll see the staff occaisionally walking around with drums and other instruments, singing happy birthday in a uniquely Brazilian way. Anyway, back to the food. The Rodizio was actually a bit underwhelming. The meats were all a little over cooked, even the filet mignon, which disappointed me. If you enjoy your meat cooked medium, then I'm sure you would love it, but I prefer it medium rare. I think that it may be due to the fact that this place is always so busy that by the time the meat gets to you, it's been cooked too long. Ultimately, comparing the Rodizio to the nearby Boi Na Brasa, Brasilia can not compare. Who knows though, if you order a specific entree, you may have a completely different experience.

First time here. We were seated right away. Service was great. The guy singing karaoke was even great! The meats included skirt steak, top sirloin, sausage, roast beef, beef kabob, pork loin (which we didn't try), beef rib, garlic steak, chicken hearts, chicken wrapped in bacon. It was all yummy from what we ate! Some steak a little dry but the char made up for it. The salad bar buffet had some good options too. We had a great experience here start to finish! If you're hungry for meats, you should come to this place! And the price is AMAZING!! Sooo worth it! We will be back. :) we ate the meats so quick I didn't get a photo lol. We were also given warm cinnamon pineapple after our meal to help us digest lol. And I ordered a cappuccino to finish and it was good too!

They are serving Rodizio, but I did not see it on the COVID-19 era menu. The mixed meat platter for 2 was excellent for 4 people with a few appetizers. I love their chicken heart appetizer! Delicious food, good drinks and attentive servers. What more can you ask for.

The Story: I took my boyfriend to a Devils game for Valentines Day. Our original plan was to go to Dino BBQ but it was packed! Quickly I pulled up yelp and checked out the restaurants near by. My co-worker had recommended Don Pepe in Newark but this place caught my eye. I haven't had rodizio in over a year! Food: They have a salad bar, dessert area and meats coming around... Meats: besides the picanha (top sirloin) everything else was DRY and TOUGH and over cooked. Salad Bar: The only thing edible was the rice and beans. Everything else looked like it will cause me food poisoning. Dessert: I only had the flan. It was okay. Decor: Huge Dining room. the seats are WAY too close together =/ Price: $33.99 per person for Valentines Day... Service: There was one waiter that tried but other than that no one really cared. The servers with the meat would go to the table behind us and table next to us and then turn around and go the other direction. I even tried to flag them down... I had to complain to my waiter about this. Then the meat started to come after I complained and when I was pretty much full from the salad bar. AND they had the nerve to add mandatory gratuity... Who the hell does that? For a party of 2?? Parking & Finding the Place: They have a tip only valet parking. Additional Thoughts/Tips: I was definitely sick from the food... I am not coming back here. I've been to Brazil and in terms service and quality it was lacking big time. I rather pay double at Fugo De Chao.

Came here for part of a group of 5 and at a glance this place is really lively and seems to be tailored to big groups. I can definitely say the service is great here. There are waiters and waitresses are all over clearing of the table or bringing food and drinks, taking. Requests and just on hand if needed. I got the parmesean steak with mashed potatoes. Now you know how when you eat a pizza and its so hot you bite into it and all the cheese just comes off? That's now this was, I was expecting the cheese to be melted on there but no the cheese was like layered on top and just wasn't well put together. And fell off after every bite. So while it sounded good on paper, was not very good eating it. The mashed potatoes were lukewarm and the drinks were eh, but the sangria was ok. The problem isn't just the mediocre food, but it being so high (understood for steak) and not being good is a blow. Big portions but it just was not impressive. This area is popularly known for its resturants. I haven't been to many as of yet but aside from the accomdating atmosphere others could give it a run for its money.

Not your typical restaurant experience, very lively and very culturally authentic, with more Portuguese than English spoken by the patrons. The quality of the meats was generally good, with the standouts being the sausage and the prime rib. Loses a star because the buffet bar was pretty basic, kind of an afterthought after the meats. Would've liked to see some breads, fresh fruits, and some desserts. But overall definitely worth checking out. One note - this is probably more $$$ than $$, the full buffet with the meats will run you close to $35. Not a complaint, just a heads-up.

This place never fails to deliver in food quality, great customer service and creating the best environment to enjoy all of the best cuts of meats! If you haven't tried it, just go and check it out for yourself. You wont regret it.

First time visiting here after a relative of mine brought me and said she had a great experience. Ive been to other restaurants prior to here and have done food the same way so i was antsy waiting to try everything i can. Our server that was assigned to our table seems like such a great guy and at what he does in general but not this night, Saturday April 3rd we some how got shitty luck with the server. He took our orders which he was fast with but for some reason when it came to the food orders it took a lifetime to come to our table. He was too busy talking with other tables and drinking beer with them as well as talking with other workers and just casually strewing about. Finally i was able to catch his attention and ask about the food that shouldn't have taken long. Rice and beans shouldn't take forever as shouldn't have plantains and collard greens as well as mashed potatoes that were from a box and yuca that was years old and dry. All of our starters were cold and super depressing only thing I enjoyed was the plantains. We had ordered a salad as one of our sides and it never came. All the meats we got passed around were pretty good nice juicy buttery flavors but again not hot. What really pissed me off so much was how our server was pretty much intoxicated from drinking beer with another table which is HIGHLY unprofessional. When i asked for a few items we wanted including the side salad we ordered that didn't come was so damn sad. Who calls something a salad thats just a platter with lettuce thrown on the bottom like a bed of it than a pound of onions white ones shameful and a few slices of tomato. No dressing no nothing they expect US TO DRESS THE SALAD. Sorry that was the most depressing salad I've seen yet i wouldn't call it that. Thats what you serve guests at a bbq with burgers. Finally we got our check and table cleaned from another server who i swear was such a sweetheart. Sorry to not be sorry but dont get Hugo as your server or hell end up getting drunk with other people. I mean he was great at first till that drinking crap started happening shaking my head. I don't think i wanna go back again this was a horrific experience for us ladies that night. Oh and we were promised shish kabob and never received it so lost money on something we didnt get. Also dont ADD GRATUITY TO TABLES LESS THAN 6 because they aint parties. I wouldn't have left a single penny for the garbage service we've received this night shameful!

Sad to see this place has gone down hill after 8 years so drastically. We honestly came in here inadvertently because we parked in their lot - the ticket given has a few useless numbers not associated with any space, and a stamp in the back that asks patrons to tip the attendant. As a party of four, we sat shocked at the lunch prices. I ordered the cod $19.95, which came with a side of vegetables and an additional side. We waited for over 30 minutes for our meals to come, the fish was clearly frozen. The rubberized piece of cod was large and unevenly cooked, fried bananas were good but not plantains (and I order fries not bananas), and the best part was sadly the rice and beans. Diego, our server further failed to tell the chef that the shrimp dish my coworker ordered that was to-go, was the same ticket as our dine-in. Sad to have it show up 25 minutes before getting our dine-in meal. Waiter doesn't refill water until asked. Asked three times for bread to be refilled as we waited so long. Menu stated mandatory tipping for parties of 6 or more but charged us for party of 4.

First time ever trying this place out. I was really excited to give it a try. We were taken to our table and our server Hugo came over and asked us what we wanted to drink. Took our drink orders and walked away. I ordered a strawberry daiquiri, my sister ordered a passion fruit juice, my cousins ordered a half iced tea half lemonade and a Diet Coke. Let me tell you he came back to our table after about 10-15 mins with 3/4 drinks. Another 10 mins passes by and he still doesn't come back to us with the 4th drink and we have to constantly stop him from what ever he is doing to wait on us. He then finally comes over to our table, we let him know that he never brought over the Diet Coke and that we were ready to place our appetizers and main entrees. He recommended that we order the calamari as he raved it being the best calamari he has ever had and it's not because he works here. So we decided to order that. We all decided to do the brasilia but no pork as we can't have that. We did the second option of all different types of steaks and a shish kebab (which they never brought over to us) and we ordered sides. We ordered fried yuka, plantains, rice and beans (comes with the meal) salad and mashed potatoes. The calamari came out and it looked pretty good but it wasn't amazing or the best as he claimed. Expected there to be marinara as a dipping sauce for it but instead we got a cocktail sauce and I was not a fan. Next came out the sides and as we were placing the sides on our plates the meats started to come out. That was the only thing I was looking forward to having, as I am a steak kinda girl. Some of the steaks tasted good and some i preferred to not eat but i ate it anyways. Once we hit our limits on how much food we got full on, we told the men who were brining out the meats to us that we were done eating. Through out all of this, we never saw our waiter approach our table one time on his own without having one of us having to flag him down. He was paying more attention to a table full of elderly men who seemed to be in their late 60's drunk and he was drinking with them. After we ate they brought over pineapple with cinnamon on it and we ended up asking for our check and then we left. I only am giving this place a 3 star is for spaced out seating, food was decent, and other people were coming to check up on us and not our server. I would love to give this place another chance but maybe in another 6 months to a year.

The food was good. The service was bad. I ordered a Rodizio and I was getting meat every 15-20 minutes. Beware they charge you a hidden fee of around $8 if you pay with card and that is separate from tax or gratuity. They included gratuity in the bill for a party of three.

Honestly I just get the salad bar and I'm GUCCI!! The salad bar has much more than salad. So much more. Sangria is good. And a dining room big enough so that there's no long wait. Rodizio is always a good choice.

Not a fan. Been here twice and wanted to give them another chance before reviewing, but have been disappointed twice. There are a ton of similar restaurants in the area, where the food taste good and the service is better. The first time I ordered the pallea. The pallea was flavorless and smelled fishy. Today I had the bbq lunch special. This special comes with a sausage, a piece of chicken and 2 other kinds of beef. Also a side a rice, beans and another side. I picked french fries. Yes, for the price you get alot of food, but i am a quality over quantity type of gal when it comes to my food. The meat sucked. It was dried and i literally left 90 percent of my food on the plate. Didn't even want to take it home. The beans were pretty decent, fries sucked, rice was a go between hard and soft. My son chicken tenders were also horrible. My friend had garlic shrimp special which tasted way better than my food. Another thing that turned me off was the presentation. It's like they made sure not to leave an empty space which made the plate look unappetizing. Would not try again. Oh and the service sucked. Waited over 30 minutes to receive the check.
