We stopped here for lunch as out of towners and were fans immediately. The meat is roasting right where you can see it, they are continually basting it, and it is amazingly delicious! At least four -5 different types of meat/flavorings offered. The pull it off the skewer when you order and will slice it up for you. Many delicious sides to accompany. You choose what and how much you want and pay by the pound.
I *think* it was $11/lb?
They offer desserts and drinks. There is some indoor seating
We loved it so much I went back the following weekend to bring home some meats!
Ordered online through door dash and pre-paid when I arrived to get my food they told me that I couldn’t get any of it because they no longer do door dash yet they still have it up online and accepting orders. Took my money and gave me no food, not that happy. I didn’t try the food though so could be good but not going back would rather just go to the Brazilian market.
I was in the middle of a home inspection, just 20 minutes away from this spot, when a special friend—whom I hadn’t seen in over 20 years—recommended it. She took a chance, and I’m so glad she did. This place truly delivered.
The pastéis were easily the best I’ve ever had—crispy, flavorful. The coxinha, shaped like a heart, was surprisingly even better when cold—a rare treat. I washed it all down with an ice-cold Guaraná soda, which brought everything together perfectly. And the dessert? Simply delicious.
If you’re not from the area, this place is a must-visit. You’ll get a genuine taste of Brazil’s rich and vibrant food culture. The staff was warm, welcoming, and made the experience even more memorable.
I’m grateful for this little detour—it reminded me of how amazing Brazilian cuisine truly is. I’ll absolutely be coming back.
My friend and I were in the mood for Brazilian food so we decided to check this place out being new to the area. Needless to say I was disappointed. The restaurant operates as a buffet style where your plate/container is charged at $11.99 per pound. None of the food tasted fresh. The rice, beans, meat, and coxinha were all super dry. I got the picanha and garlic sirloin as my meat. The sirloin was super dry and the picanha was mostly fat… Additionally, my plate came out to about $24 total with no drink. I don’t mind the price, but I wish I would have enjoyed the food. I don’t give them 1 star only because the service was good and they people at the counter were very friendly, but I definitely won’t be returning.
They claim they charge by the pound, but if your meat to buffet ratio doesn’t please the manager, they charge you whatever they feel like charging…

I really liked the service! The salad buffet is good. Lots of fried options. The highlight is the meat: picanha and rib 10/10.

Delicious Brazilian food. The hot bar food is great, as well as the meat. The picanha is my favorite. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Food was amazing! I recommend the chicken wrapped in bacon, and the garlic beef pieces. My only critique was that I took my meal "to go" and everything was weighed. The cuts of beef were very fatty (but very flavorful) and there was a lot of fat on the meat that I threw out, that I paid for. The chef and staff greeted me and said how everything worked there and encouraged me to ask questions if I had any. Oh and the puffy cheezy-rolls are a MUST! The fresh pineapple roasted with cinnamon and sugar is a sure thing for dessert, although it's almost like a bakery with all of the pastries available. The downfall is the restaurant's location, makes it very difficult to get there and leave because it's directly across from the metal bridge in New Milford.

I'm sorry but the food isn't that good. I threw it in the trash after receiving it. Was sloppy, messy, and not what I would consider to be healthy. Not ordering again, maybe I ordered the wrong things but overall it was gross.
First time and loved it. Barbecue was delicious, that picanha steak was perfect and really enjoyed the chicken with bacon too. The staff was very friendly, and the place was clean. will def come back!
