Minas Grill & Emporium

OH MY GOD, this place is absolutely amazing great place for a great price. I got a plate for $15.99 and let the wonder lady who works there put on there what she would get. The meat i asked for well done (for religious reasons) was wonderful, the crips on the outside yet nice and tender. The rice, plantain, beans, drink, everything was absolutely amazing, they gave me so much i couldn’t finish in my first sitting. Definitely coming back again! “10 out of 10 must try Again”

It’s a great place to eat. The staff is friendly. For the price you pay, the quality of the food is excellent. It’s always clean and well organized! Every one of their workers will always greet you with their best smile! You eat really well for the price!

Great place to eat with family. The food was delicious! We all got the buffet plate. Various options all tasty. Customer service was good.

This is authentic Brazilian cuisine. Absolutely delicious, couldn’t stop eating. I wanted to try everything but they have too many choices. I visited two days in a row, and would come every day if I lived there. Everybody was very attentive. Give it a try. Churrasco is even better than Fogo de Chao.

Great variety at the salad bar and buffet, delicious meats and much more affordable than other Brazilian restaurants of similar style. Staff and servers were super friendly. Also, great Brazilian market attached to the restaurant.

Food is delicious, but, I purchased Takeout tray from the buffet and the price is ridiculous one thigh and rice and beans 25 bucks!! Don't go here for takeout, plan to dine in or else it isn't worth it.

Wonderful food, especially the BBQ! Great warm and engaging staff that really takes care of you! I wish I didn't live 500 miles from here because I would be regular for sure!!

I can give this a 2 because of the super sweet staff. I think that the food would have been okay earlier but we were there late. I could not eat the meat because it was so tough and cold. I couldn’t even tell if it was pork or beef from the bite I had. I think they should just serve the buffet at lunch and stick to serving off of the menu for the evening.

Super glad I found this place and im a huge fan. Didn't have the stomach for buffet so I got a per pound order. Lunchtime, paid around $17 for 1.35 pounds of food, all of it was delicious, and luckily I left room for two slices of sirloin right off the roasting machine. Hot and super delicious! From the buffet I got beef, pork sirloin, potato gratin, and chicken wings. All of it was delicious. I'll bring my appetite for the buffet next time. Huge fan!

The place is pretty unassuming and can be hard to miss in the corner of an old shopping center. Going inside, there is a Brazilian grocery store with the restaurant to the left. The majority of the staff speaks to you in Portuguese at first but I found most spoke Spanish and English as well and, all were very polite. The buffet bar has your standard rice, beans and plantains but there were various other Brazilian dishes there as well that were pretty good. They offer a buffet of just the bar and a buffet with the BBQ. The BBQ meats, they're descent. All a little on the dry side but still with a variety of different types, mainly beef and pork, but still some chicken ones. All the attending staff were super helpful with any questions or concerns. A place worth the visit.

I have eaten at this establishment twice and will be going a 3rd, 4th and fifth time the food is absolutely delicious and the customer service that was provided to me was first class if not world class . I had the pleasure of interacting with the staff there, they were very gracious an pleasant when I asked them questions, however Mel Diniz was exceptional.. very helpful and provided excellent customer service.

Don't go here. They false advertise their prices until it's time to pay then suddenly it's 3 times more than they said it was to get you in the door. If you go before 4pm they double your price apparently. They are a self serve restaurant but if you serve yourself they charge you extra for that also. But again, they won't tell you any of this until your bill comes. I called before hand to get the price and while I was there but got charged a completely higher price. I will be filing a a report with the Georgia Consumer Protection Division for their deceptive practices.

We always come here for dine in or take out. They have the best flan I've eaten my entire life-- no exaggeration. Taste sweeter compared to Mexican flan. The pork roast is always great, taste like lechon. They have many selection of high quality pastries.

Even during Covid this spot is up and running. Stopped in early but they gave us a great lunch. Some brazilian some just latino. Plantains, rice and beads, catfish, pork belly and ribs. So good and so yummy. Last but not least. The buffet includes pujing, which is a famous brazilian custard dessert. Guarana is in the cooler for drinks. We ate and shopped here to get our fill. Easy on and easy off of the highway. Recommend if you are looking for some tasty lunch options in atlanta.

Omigosh why am I just now finding out about this gem? It is definitely a diamond in the ruff. It is so easy to just drive by this place. Keep in mind this is a legit Brazilian spot, so the patrons and the workers may give you that "are you lost?" look if you're not Brazilian - but all in all, they were super friendly though. The food was BOMB ASS DIGGITY!!! Omg - that damn rice and beans and meat plate was OFF THE FRAGGIN CHAIN!! omggggggg - and it was decently priced at like $10 for the plate. The seasoning was on point, the meat was cooked brilliantly, everything was hot and fresh and just so damn good! Now, this is not some fancy place, so keep your snobbery a few notches down. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, but the food is so good, I dont care if I have to park on the roof. So, I suggest, be adventurous and try this place out.

Food was good. But not really same level as one of your fancy Brazilian eateries. If you don't mind eating in what looks like one half is a supermarket and travel agency, and the other side being the restaurant and try not to pay attention to the dirty floors then you'll be fine. I must say through, the pretty lady who served us, I didn't get her name for she didn't introduce herself, but I did pay attention to the fact she was not only our server, but our hostess, meat cutter and dishwasher. She did so much running around by herself that I was starting to think, she was the "Mina" in Mina's Grill. Meat could use a little more flavor but you can't really complain for the amount of food you get for $9.99 as well as the great service! I think I tipped more than the bill for the service was excellent! We came in for a Groupon that was $14 for two people. They also have baked goods as well but I was too full to try any. That will have to be another day. Peep the pics!

Very delicious clean and friendly. Best place I have ever been in Atlanta with this price. Staff is very very friendly, unbelievable good place. Highly recommended.

After so many good reviews, and being a meat lover, I was so excited to try this place - toss in a Groupon and I thought I was in heaven. I'll caveat first by saying that we went at 2pm after calling to hear that the lunch buffet runs until 4pm. Given that the typical lunch hour is over, some of my negatives may have been mitigated during the rush. That said, I found the lunch buffet to be very lacking. There were less than 8 items on the buffet, and only 2 that were gluten-free (which is not something that I fault them for, just sharing), and items were not being refilled. When the broccoli ran low, it was dumped into 1/2 of the rice tray, and the salad was empty for the entire time we were there. Now, I freely admit that I went for the Brazilian meat, not the broccoli, so I'll get to the important stuff. Unfortunately, while the flavor of the spices was great on the garlic beef, every single piece of meat was super well done and chewy - the pork and the beef options both. I love 'hole in the wall' places and was so hoping this was going to be one for the books, but I'm fairly confident I won't give it a second shot. If you go, definitely stick to the traditional lunch hour when items are plentiful and the meat hasn't sat too long to dry out and overcook.

Yum! This place is great. The sides are yummy and there is so much variety. The plantains are my all time favorite! Everything on the grill tastes great! The only thing that makes me slightly sad is that their pork belly is about 80% fat :( They also had a cute little dessert section in the restaurant!! Haven't had the chance to try them but they look great.

Tasty pieces of meat roasted; What more could you possibly ask for! If you are look for a Brazilian Churrasco/international food, this is the place in Marietta to go! The family that runs it are also very nice folks, so it's great to support the small business of goo

Wow! Very pleasantly surprised. Decided to try this restaurant while in town for work. I went for dinner. The buffet was not set up but they asked if I was there for dinner. They brought me a plate of food. No menu, that's it, here is dinner........so good! So filling and your typical Brazilian food. The best part, this was the most affordable dinner I have had in I don't know how long. I will definitely come here again. If you are a picky eater, this may not be appealing to you, but There isn't much I won't eat. I loved it. Yummy, yum, yum! So good!

Decent inexpensive Brazilian buffet with traditional layout. At times, the beef meats tend to be a little on the tough side, but the flavor makes up for it. Plenty of parking and plenty of room in the dining area.

Do you like meat? Do you like fantastic prices? Do you like driving OTP to Marietta? If you answered yes to the first two then Mina's Grill will make up your mind about the third. Churrasco it typically brings two things to mind. Skewered meat served by men brought to your table and an empty bank account after eating said meal. Mina's Grill is a little different. No fancy atmosphere. Instead you get a cafeteria setting attached to a Brazilian market. No frills no fuss. So after being sat and ordering a drink. (I suggest Passion Fruit juice) grab a plate and hit the buffet. The buffet has some typical salad choices and fruit but also has more substantial items as well, multiple beans and rices both with and without meats, plantains, white lasagna, and various breads just to name a few. With all the food It can be hard to save room on your plate for why you came... The MEAT!!!!!!!! While you may have to get up to get your fix you aren't waiting for your choice to come to you. Head over to the meat station and get you fill of steak, sausage, ribs, and chicken. All seasoned to perfection and cut right in front of you. My only issue with the entire restaurant is that I'm not sure exactly what meats are in the rack. So after you've had your fill of meats and juice, you're dried your forehead from the meat sweats, and watched the entire soccer game on the TV it's time to pay. Feeling nervous? You shouldn't, fantastic pricing remember? Head on up to the register and prepare for the release of endorphins you'll feel when you see your check. That feeling is multiplied if you use the Groupon* that is usually available. Enjoy! * Insider tip - Pull the Groupon up before you go in. The register area is a cell dead zone on at least 2 of the 4 major carriers.

I love locally owned restaurants. This is a hidden gem that stands by the traditional Brazilian menu. Do not be fooled by it being a strip mall or part of a store. It is great fresh homemade Brazilian food. The meat is a bit salty. That is only opportunity for improvement that I see.

I've been to many Brazilian buffets, none were ever this cheap. Simple choices and not a wide array of selection on a weekday... But, the quality of food was great! The meat was fresh and tender, the rice and beans were cooked to point. I'm not from GA and have recently relocated to the area but this will be a favorite to feel like home for sure. Service was really polite and friendly too!

Tasty hidden gem. What a treat. The food was very fresh & the atmosphere was refreshing , something new. Service was wonderful and the lunch buffet was what i needed after sitting in traffic. The restaurant was clean and the meat was hot off the grill.

I am in town for MomoCon, and found this restaurant via Yelp! Looked at the reviews and thought it was worth a try. I was impressed by tge quality of food and service that we received. The meat was very well seasoned and tender. The elderly gentlemen working the grill was very helpful. The other side items were tasty and very filling. My only complaint was that items were not all labeled. Which left some guessing, but none of what I picked ended up being bad.

I was a little sad when they said that the buffet was closed and they only had 2 plates to choose from, but dinner was delicious! My boys and I ordered our drinks and then our waiter asked if we had ever tried Brazilian soda. We hadn'tas but it was so nice! We definitely want to go back for breakfast while we are staying here. so he gave us a can of delicious fruit flavored soda. I can't remember what kind of fruit it w

AMAZING FOOD!!!!! I feel so welcomed there. Clean and great atmosphere. Price is just right! If you dont eat a lot taking out js cheap and maracujá IS ABSOLUTELY UFF

Delicious!! I love the small mom and pop feeling of this place. Everyone was so welcoming. Now, let's talk about the food. So much flavor. My favorite were the ribs and the chicken, but the pernil and picanha we just as juicy. My only real complaint is that the brisket was a little dry. Food was so good, we took a togo box too. Pictures do this food no justice. Just go and taste it for yourself!

Great place to get traditional inexpensive brazilian barbecue. I would high recommended .

I have been here 2 times already and it is delicious! I would come way more often but I live 41miles away. All the staff are very friendly! It's really a great place

Food was ok for the price. The meat was old really fatty and lacked flavor and was dry. S&P goes a long way. One thing that really stuck out and made me scared to eat the meat is that they cook the meat on spits which is good but when the cook added more meat to cook on the spit he placed the raw meat to cook and drip all the raw juices on top of the all ready cooked meats. Should have known what to expect by the price. Quality just wasn't there. Definitely won't find prime meats probably not choice. Ohhh well you live and learn. Hopefully Minas learns to cook with love and care for quality. Gave this place 3 stars because I believe the restaurant is able to improve I'd like to come back maybe next year with hopes that the quality has improved. If Minas had better quality meats and seasoned properly they could raise the price another $10 easily.

Minas Grill is a very clean, friendly and delicious place to eat! The staff is professional and the food is simply amazing! Their maracujá mousse won the Taste of Marietta Best Dessert prize a few years back, and if you taste it, you will know why! If you are tired of the same old thing, this Brazilian spot has got to be on your list! They have Brazilian groceries, chocolates, cofee and more! Go, you will be pleasantly surprised! Guaranteed!

This Brazilian restaurant is tucked in a little strip mall off Delk Rd. For $12.99 you can eat all you want. Nice fresh salad bar and a good sized hot bar with lots of selections. The beans were delicious! Then you go to the grill, they have a big assortment of grilled meats, beef, pork, sausages. I love The grilled pineapple with pork. It's so yummy! It's not fancy but the food and price make up for it. And the service is always great!

Yummmmmy!!! The price is great, this is a super local find. I was a little sketchy, but wow was I wrong. The service was great, the food was phenomenal--- I would compare this food to Texas de Brazil which is much more high end and much more expensive... again yummy!

The food is not good. The buffet bar has very limited options. Everything I tried was cold & bland tasting. The rice was overcooked, the black beans had no flavor, & the mashed potatoes were cold. The bread was hard and greasy. For the meat, I had chicken. How do you mess up chicken? The wings were tough, crunchy, greasy, & flavorless. I wound up filling myself up with tropical salad & fruit. I won't be returning.

It's always a treat for me when I get to go to this Brazilian grocery store. Its a small store in the Mink's plaza off of Delk Rd, and yet they still manage to get a grocery section, a fresh meat section, a cafe section and an area for anything else invloving customer service needs like wiring money, selling CDs & DVDs, clothes ect. They even have their own scratch off lottery tickets! Although you can still play the GA lottery there too. I dont even dare buy any clothing from there though...brazilian women tend to be on tiny side, so I couldn't fit anything... I used to live down the street from this place and I would come here for lunch all the time. They now have a buffett, and a kitchen in the back with a fried snack area that you can choose from (and there is an area with tables that is nice a spacious that you can sit and enjoy your food). You can get all kinds of Brazilian imports like wine, chocolate, canned items, cleaning products...and so much more. The staff is always nice, and helpful (to a certain degree...I dont speak portugeese) so whenever I have a question I have to get one of the few english speaking employees that work there to help me, but I never have a problem with that. I dont know why it is described as being in metro Atlanta, because this place is in Marietta...

Seriously LOVE Minas. Their grilled meat is definitely the highlight. Was only in town for a few days but after trying it once I came back for a second meal the next day. Delicious yummy food, everything from their salads to their oxtail stew was amazing. I love that there were so many brazillians eating here which speaks to the authenticity of the place. My friend says that this is a very specific type of Brazillian food though, from the region where German and Italian immigrants settled and that would explain the 5 kinds of pasta they had the first day we went. Heavenly food and downright warm and nice people. I'll go again next time I'm around Marietta.

The staff was so rude to us when we went. They just stared and didn't say a word to us. It's a buffet lunch and we were trying to figure out if we pay first or pay after, they talked to us in a really annoyed tone of voice. I am not sure if it had anything to do with us not being brazilian since everyone else in there spoke Portuguese but the way they treated us made it seem like they only wanted Portuguese-speaking customers. The food was also not good. I normally love Brazilian food but even the food tasted bland and old. Maybe it's cause we were treated so horribly and no one wanted to help us so that already made me lose my appetite. If 0 stars was possible, I would choose that instead.

I love this place, it is awesome! True, you do need to go there at the right time and pick the right meat to feast on. If you do you can't beat the CP( cost performance)! I usually go there around between 12-2ish, and from the grill I stick with the beef, and tell them I want rare. Don't forget the orange color garlic sauce. It is awesome.(Not for your breath though). For me it is awesome this way. Like I said CP is great here. If you think about most of the pretty set up shit food restaurants around town, it is great. worth a try. Oh about the attitude? Most of the staff there does not speak a lot English. Don't take it personal, tip well, and have a great meal!!

I love going to Minas for their Brazilian BBQ. They have tasty meat and you can get it by the pound or get the buffet. Just make sure you go during lunch because that's when the actual grill is open. Their store is awesome too. I love getting cheese bread from their frozen section. yum.

This is an authentic Brazilian place with great prices and amazing food!!! The people are really nice and have great service

I only ate here because of a Groupon deal. Although the service and establishment was good, the food was just mediocre. It's alright for a simple lunch spot, and the meats were a but salty and tough at times.

Great price for a buffet of Brazilian meat. This is definitely a hole in the wall. Do not expect a sit down restaurant with servers and great seating. This place is inside a small market. Some the cons: There were a lot of flies. Maybe because it is summer and the heat is keeping the flies in the store, but it is not appetizing to have flies sit on all your food. Be aware that none of the desserts and some of the foods, you need to pay extra for.

Went here for my birthday. Was looking for a place to eat a pile of meat that wasn't too expensive and didn't require me to drive into the city. Honestly...I was a little skeptical when I drove up, as it was just tucked into the corner of a little shopping strip and there was no indication of a restaurant when I looked through the windows. Once we got in there, though, and the staff welcomed us (we had called ahead to let them know a large party was coming), all skepticism vanished. Everyone was super friendly and explained exactly how it worked. It's essentially a buffet, with a good selection of normal salad bar and hot food items...some with distinct Brazilian flavor and some just basic salad stuff. It was all fresh and well made. The good part, though, was the meat station at the end of the line...skewers full of all the meats you'd get at the expensive Brazilian steakhouse places, perfectly made and ready to go. The guy let you pick which one you wanted and sliced it off onto your plate. Then you could go back for more. There were several beef choices, some chicken, pork, sausage, etc. There wasn't a bad one. After we finished eating, we had some desert and then let the kids grab some treats from the selection of international chocolate and candy that was available. Everyone left full and happy and we agreed that we'd be back. In addition to the restaurant, there is also a grocery store and butcher shop, but we will have to explore that next time TL;DR Food was amazing, staff was friendly and helpful, price was very reasonable...setting was not super high end fancy dining, though...

I called 3 times to ask if they offered catering & was hung up on all 3 times?!? Horrible service & i am glad to take my money elsewhere! Their loss!

This place totally sucks. The guy at the meat station was mean. We saw people sticking their hand directly in the buffet service stations. Food was cold aweful Bad service. The only good thing was the waiters ; the girls were nice. Never gonna back to this place cause of the behavior of the guy at the meat station. Some one please teach him to be nice to customers.

I would give this place a better rating but because it's so close to my favorite Brazilian buffet I can't. Although it's a treat to come here; because, not only can you eat at their buffet but you can shop their groceries. Therefore, on that viewpoint I have to say it's pretty good. On the buffet when you're comparing them with Sabor Do Brazil which is literally across the way (not really you have to drive up a little bit) but they're really close to each other. It's not on the same level as them but still it's a good eat. So if you're in a mood for making your own traditional Brazilian food go here for your groceries and probably you can eat there as well to get an idea how the dishes are suppose to taste. You probably wouldn't be able to make it like them but you can always do your best!

Lunch buffet is not to be missed. Beautiful to look at, very diverse offerings, every item scratch prepared & DELICIOUS!! Great find in East Cobb! The braised beef with Yucca was like grandmas pot roast. The rice and beans are light but still loaded with flavor. And it is so cool to try the traditional dishes. Mmm - I didn't even get to try the barbecue grilled meets which look and smell amazing. Can't wait to bring my friends to this unique eatery.

This is a one stop shop, similar to Coisas do Brasil in Marietta. The food here is pretty good. The best in the area...the cook here is better with adding more flavor to the food, maybe because he/she is from Minas.... I wish they had Brazilian food from other regions, like Bahia \0/. In spite of that, I will always be a repeat customer.

Took my 7th grad get geography class, they are super helpful, food was awesome, and accommodating! Will make this an annual field trip!

This must be legitimately Brazilian because everyone there was speaking Portuguese. We weren't really sure how to order so we ended up just getting a buffet take out box, two items from the bakery, and a juice. The cashier didn't speak English so we kind of just went with the flow...Food was great. Super filling, but I definitely would not be opposed to going back! I'd share further what items I liked but I really have no idea what dishes are specifically called. Worth a try!

Warm, friendly Brazilian cafeteria that triples as a Brazilian grocery store and Brazilian social club. On weekends, Brazilians families are all over speaking Portuguese to each other and the staff. It seems everyone knows everyone. There is much variety on the AYCE buffet. The dishes are hearty and simple. They serve churrascaria meats (Brazilian barbeque) where you go to the counter. They take the meats off the rack grill and cut it right there for you fresh. The staff is very helpful even if not all of them are totally comfortable with English. If they can't understand your needs, they will call another staff member over. I will tell you this set-up is very typical for lunch places in Brazil. From what I can gather, you can do the AYCE buffet with barbeque or without or you can fill up a Styrofoam container and have the food weighed. AYCE and Por Kilo (weight) are very common at these casual buffets in Brazil. I think if you want barbeque you need to get there before 4:00. Otherwise, it's just the buffet which also has prepared meat dishes. PS- Buy a pound of Brazilian coffee (actually 1.1 lbs) for $6.99. It's a good deal.

Absolutely delicious lunch buffet! $11 for the buffet (unlimited), a bottled water, and a pastry for later. I was stuffed after one trip- lots of excellent choices. I've never tried Brazilian outside of places like Fogo de Chao. It was great to try a new culture without the churascaria's prices!

Liked a lot! of the meats. I enjoyedtheir food but the ribs were tough

This is like a neighborhood restaurant that you find in Brazil. The food quality is very high with a great price for buffet. The people are friendly and the salad bar is fresh. Also, there is a little Brazilian store with candies, corn flour, cheese bread mix, etc., so that you can cook Brazilian delights at home, as well. This is NOT a fancy restaurant with costumed waiters, but the food is every bit as good at a fraction of the price.
