    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Brasas do Brazil for two consecutive nights, and I can't recommend it enough! The experience was fantastic both evenings, showcasing a delightful array of flavors that truly celebrate Brazilian cuisine. The standout feature here is undoubtedly the value. For the quality of food and the generous portions we received, it was an incredible deal. Each meal was brimming with freshness and expertly prepared dishes that left us thoroughly satisfied. From the grilled meats to the flavorful sides, every bite was a reminder of why we decided to come back for a second night. If you’re looking for a great place to enjoy delicious food in a vibrant atmosphere, Brasas do Brazil should definitely be on your list. Whether you’re a fan of Brazilian cuisine or simply looking for a great dining experience, you won’t be disappointed!

    Great good and great service. Seven of us were there for a birthday celebration. New waiter but he was great. Their bruschetta is so delicious, a must. I had the goat cheese and apple salad with crispy chicken cutlet and it was very fresh and tasty. Wednesday is half off bottles of wine night which was a very nice deal. We’ve always had a good experience at this Melo’s.
