"Pampas Grill Churrascaria is a popular spot at The Farmer's Market next to the Grove where you pay by the weight of your plate, rather than a set price. The concept sounds pretty economic at first, but I usually get carried away with their impressive display of Brazilian classics. First and foremost, the feijoada. Recognized as Brazil’s national dish, this hearty pork, beef, and black bean stew is usually accompanied by white rice, toasted cassava flour, and collard greens sauteed with garlic. From there, make your way over to the pitmasters who are roasting a variety of churrasco-style meats. Everything is perfectly cooked, but my personal favorites are the linguiça (Brazilian pork sausage) and the picanha (top sirloin cap). The linguiça at Pampas has just the right kick of spice, and the picanha’s fatty cap melts with each bite. Down it all with a Guarana soda and you’ve just finished a tour of Brazil’s greatest hits.

I came here with other people, all of whom eat meat. It has a nice selection of both neat and non neat items,but is definitely geared to meat eaters. Food stars rating by the meat eaters. As a vegetarian, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of salads, rice, potatoes, pasta, fruit, and veg available. But there is no main vegetarian meal protein / option. It's all buffet style, serve yourself. There's no signage to explain that it's cheaper to make a sides plate and a meat plate separately. Hence the stars off service. Despite my friend giving this place 4/5 food stars, he suggested we come again soon.

Friendly workers , fresh food, and most importantly, customers have to wear gloves to serve themselves at the buffet ( brilliant idea). I bet hundreds of cases of food poisoning were avoided, thanks to that measure. Thank-you. Amazing place.Definetly recommend

This review is done based on 3 experiences over last 5 months. It is consistently good experience and provide one of the best alternative to Brazilian cuisine without all-you-can-eat pricing model. This restaurant is using pay-by-pound model. They have a cold (salad) and hot bar (spaghetti, rice, plantain, and non Brazilian style meat). Going purely this option is $~13/lb. If you add the Brazilian meat, it goes to $~16/lb. The Brazilian meat choices include cuts of chicken, beef, and lamb. Usually I get the beef and lamb, and they are usually fabulously tender when it's medium. Note: if you see your previous person is cutting the same meat choice u wanted, suggest you to ask the server to cut you the tender part. That way the server won't put the skewer back to the grill (efficiency and you get your tender cut). Drinks: they have Brazilian soda in bottles. They also have wine and several draft beer selections.

I love this place! The food is delicious. Sometimes they have live music at dinner time. Very authentic. You can easily find vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. I highly recommend visiting Pampas Grill.

If you are a meat lover this is the place....you can order your meat right from the grill...salad bar has most everything, vegetables and salads....hot dishes, rice, beans, plantains....good food... I would suggest you get your meat aside of the salad bar to avoid overcharge in your plate ..🥕🥕🥕

It's been awhile since I have been here. The restaurant has doubled in size and now has a full bar. The food is done cafeteria style and you wear a provided plastic glove when serving yourself. The meat is cut off the skewer for you and placed on your plate. They have several types of beef, chicken and lamb. There's even chargrilled pineapple, which was great. I've always thought the grilled meat was great and it hasn't changed. Happy Hour lasts until 7pm with discount wines and beer. We'll definitely be back.

But Way to expensive! $85 for 2 plates and I felt like I was back in high school making a line to get my food The guys in the grill were fun And at the time of paying still have the "tip" option Why tipping I didn't get serve I've got my own food !!! I gave a 3 because the was food was good But I wouldn't go there ever again

Best lunch I've had in a long time. I started trying to increase my red meat consumption since learning about all the health benefits. The meal here was great, the service was friendly, the dining room and restroom were clean. My favorite was the lamb. I also got the garlic beef, tri tip, sirloin cap beef, and catfish, which were also really great. I can't wait to come back and try the rest of the meats. Oh and that cheese bread was amazing.
