"Churrascaria Plataforma in Hell’s Kitchen has a Brazilian rodizio feast that costs around $79, though you can get the same deal at lunch for around $50. You’ll get the perfectly-grilled picanha and top sirloin of your dreams, carved tableside, for as long as you want. You’ll also get access to the salad and feijoada bars in this stadium-sized restaurant. When you’re finally ready to tap out, flip your coaster over from the green to red, signaling that you’re ready to go home and shower away the meat sweats." - will hartman, willa moore, bryan kim, carlo mantuano
"Plataforma is a real Brazilian churrascaria, where meats are grilled then borne around the room by gaucho-clad servers. When you see something you like, stop them and they’ll slice freshly grilled meat onto your plate. At dinner meat choices include 13 varieties of beef, chicken, pork, and lamb, but you also get to visit a sprawling buffet of vegetable and salad sides in a Brazilian vein, and free dessert, too. Dinner has two options, one for around $60 and another for $85, with just salad options that are cheaper." - Eater Staff
"This Brazilian steakhouse features servers waltzing table to table, wielding long spits of meat sliced tableside. Diners pay a fixed price for a varied selection of unlimited steak, sausages, and other grilled meats, plus sides that run from rice and beans to fried polenta and french fries. A salad bar is included in the price, stocked with greens, veggies, and creamy potato salad. Dessert and drinks aren’t included in the $49 to $79 per-person spread." - Eater Staff
"If all-you-can-eat dining experiences remind you of breakfast buffets in Vegas, you might be hesitant to pay $79 for one in Hell’s Kitchen. But replace lukewarm pancakes with glistening ribeyes and bacon-wrapped filet mignons, and you’ll change your tune. For proof, head to Churrascaria Plataforma. Choose the all-you-can-eat rodizio, and a barrage of grilled meats will continue to land at your table as long as you leave your coaster green-side-up. You’ll also have access to the salad and feijoada bars inside this stadium-sized restaurant, but make sure to save space for a couple rounds of the leg of lamb before you flip your coaster to red. It’s salty, juicy, charred and gamey, and it’s the best thing here." - neha talreja, matt tervooren
"Opt for the rodizio (all-you-can-eat) option at this Hell’s Kitchen steakhouse, and the barrage of grilled meats will continue as long as you leave your coaster green-side-up. Fight the temptation to hoard meats like hibernation awaits on the other side of the feijoada bar, at least until you’ve had a chance to try the juicy, incredibly gamey leg of lamb." - matt tervooren
