Absolutely love this place! They opened recently and their food is fresh, well priced and absolutely delicious! This flan reminds me of the one grandma made when I was a kid. Highly recommend this restaurant!

It's my first time to try this restaurant. I ordered the catfish special to go. And a little of their chilis. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised at how good the catfish was cooked. The size of it was enough for both of us. With the order, we also got salad, beans and rice. All for $17.95. I will return to this restaurant and try something else next time. Good food!

My Brazilian husband was craving some picanha, so we tried this new restaurant. It was delicious! Clean restaurant. Puppies allowed. Good service. Their Bolinhos de Bacalhau (Cod cakes), feijao tropeiro, and picanha grelhada were so good! I remembered to take pictures once we started eating, not the best photos, but good food! Thank you/Obrigada!

My partner and I ordered one of the Brazilian tender cut "Coulotte" entradas and a house salad. The salad was fine. We don't know anything about Brazilian cuisine, but we found the Coulotte appetizer disappointing. The beef was a poor cut, a bit tough and too chewy. I am not sure how it was cooked, but the dish was rather boring and forgettable. Service was mostly ok, although when my partner ordered a glass/mug of hot water with lemon the server was clearly out of her element and acted as though a restaurant can't provide that.

Brazilian food is one of my faves, especially the barbecue. I was not disappointed one bit, everything was perfect, the yuca, the meat, and the mini coxinhas. I will surely come back again for another round. Highly recommend this Brazilian food joint. Viva!

Guilt complex is strong. Most people root for the small guys especially in SF where the city makes it incredibly hard for small business owners to open shop. I aim to give the small guys at least 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 stars....unfortunately, I can't in this case (my experience was 2.5 stars). Brazilian Restaurant Brewing is a new restaurant that took over the long vacant Maverick's (RIP, crab fluffs, fried chicken and warm chocolate chip cookies!). They have a ways to go so I hope they take this as constructive feedback... When I have to go into office, I've been trying to order takeout for lunch but haven't been successful. So, I don't know how accurate the yelp business hours are. Last week, I was able to reach someone late afternoon so decided to pop in for an early dinner. They have indoor and outdoor seating (parklet). Dog-friendly. I don't recall any heat lamps outside so dress warm. Server wore a mask. Since we sat outside, not sure if vax cards are checked for indoor dining. M E N U Brazilian apps, kebabs, and entrees. There's also salads and burgers. Beer and wine available. Def call ahead if you have your heart set on something. The three items on the menu we came for weren't available (feijão tropeiro, mini coxihnas, and fried yuca). FYI for those with dietary restrictions, for items we ordered, the sides were substituted without informing us. It seems they didn't even have rice. Understandably, they may be trying to figure things out and/or there may be a supply chain issue. However, communication and managing expectations goes a long way like a simple: "Hey, we don't have 'X' today, is 'Y' ok, instead?" F O O D * Bolinho de Bacalhau: Portugal Cod Fish Croquettes w/ garlic aioli (App-$11.95): Fav item! The croquettes were deliciously crunchy and light with a mild minced fish filling. The accompanying garlic aioli was thick and creamy. Didn't taste but much garlic but that's ok...the squeeze of lime added that pop of acid. * Picanha Fatiada: Coulette served w/ fried yuca, pineapple salsa (App-$14.95): ***Requested medium rare. The steak was more medium-well so I regret not requesting rare. Usually I find Brazilian meats too aggressively seasoned for me but this one was bland. Luckily, the fat cap gave it some moisture and flavor. The pineapple salsa was tomato salsa and the fried yuca was boiled but they were fine. * Picanha Grelhada: Brazilian "Tender" Cut Coulette w/ rice, broccoli, and salad ($23.95): ***Requested medium rare. We ordered this based on the yelp pic and was surprised to see it covered in a sauce, and served with fries instead of the rice, salad, and broccoli stated on the menu. The lean coulette was well-done, dry, and tough...and the sauce tasted like grey poupon. Fries were hot and crunchy but it's not what we wanted. This dish took a very long time to arrive so we just ate it. S E R V I C E Our server was sweet and brought TT a tray of water without asking. Always appreciate that! Despite being the only diners there, food service was very slow and there were no check-ins. First app took 30 minutes and second app arrived 10 minutes later. The shared entrée took nearly an hour. Again, they're new but I think it would be nice to give customers a heads up/update so they're not wondering if their dish was forgotten. A M B I A N C E No frills and casual with an open kitchen. There's about 8 tables in the parklet. P A R K I N G Street parking...doable on weekdays before 6 pm. Overall, either Brazilian Restaurant Brewing has some major kinks to work out or I visited on a very, very off day. They're only a month young so I'm sure they'll improve over time. Wishing the owner(s) the best of luck.

What a disappointment. Food and service mediocre at best. Food: I had the cod fish croquette (bolinho de bacalhau) and the Brazilian tender cut coulotte (picanha fatiada ) with fried yuca . The cod fish croquette was MUSHY and TASTELESS. Yes, no taste at all, much less any taste of cod fish. Very hard to make something so bad. As for the meat, it was OK, mediocre, nothing to write home about, and over priced for what it is. You get 2 tiny fried yucas Now the service.... 1) The food took over 25 min to come with 2 tables (including mine, solo) in the entire restaurant on a Tuesday. 2) The female server kept standing around while I read the menu and I had told her I needed more time and wasn't ready 3) The waitress that never came back to check on the food -- that is unacceptable. A little insight: once you drop the food, come back in 2 min and ask: "is your steak cooked to your liking"; "is everything ok"; "can I get you anything else". These are simple, straightforward industry standards. Was she friendly? Yes. But don't confuse friendliness with good service. 4) There is what looks like a manager (male) sitting around, eating in the kitchen that does not add value to the experience -- he does not guide the staff or help in any way. He should be looking at food times, greeting people, checking on customers, asking for feedback, particularly if they want to have a successful business. The competition in the City is fierce when it comes to restaurants. If you want to survive, do better. If you want to thrive, re-eval everything, make changes, and do a lot, lot better.

Decided to try out this new Brazilian restaurant in the area and wasn't disappointed. I ordered a salmon burger. It's probably one of the best salmon burgers I tasted so far. The aioli sauce was on another level and made the already salmon filet much more delicious. I wasn't disappointed they didn't have any Brazilian beer available yet but the Blue Moon on tap and served in a frosted glass was a nice touch.

Came here for the first time. My girlfriend is from Brazil so she is always looking for authentic food from home. Came here and Ordered a little bit of everything. We started with the "chicken fried bites", it was very flavorful. Then we had the picanha kabob and the picanha strips off the appetizer. It was amazing and worth every penny. I had a couple "cozumel" and they remind me of a chavela. It was all amazing and topped off with Pudim (Brazilian flan) Please come support this business as I think it caters to many audiences Editing this because I forgot the best part. Mini coxinha's!!!!!! The best!!

This place was a complete hidden gem. The food was exceptional. The service was perfect and the price was fair. I'm not a huge fan of sport bars. So I'm not a huge fan of the ambiance, but it really didn't get in the way of an amazing date and dinner. Highly recommended.

It's outstanding the quality, there's 3 major Brazilian restaurants(not BBQ) in Bay area, this is the best flavor, best place but the most pricy, the waitress are fantastic and super friendly, there were big screens playing soccer, my wife and I really enjoyed, we ordered a pork belly with a sweet and spice guava sauce, I'm not a big fan of pork but the juice meat and the sauce combined is heaven, we've also ordered a picanha, a chicken heart, beer, Pudim and a creme brulee, was everything fantastic, but the sides were small for the price, really! I've ate well but missed that stuffed feeling! All the meats were excellent and juicy, The vinaigrette was well made but spent some time at fridge, the Pudim for the price were a size of a coin, but the creme brulee was out of this world, is a must for sure!Order:1 entree2 main dishes2 desserts1 beer1 sodaTotal: 65+tax+tipOverall is a 5/5
