Evertoneuler - Hartford

Great place of you're looking for variety. They offer several items in their buffet from veggies to meat, to carbs and dessert. Overall the side dishes were good. The meats were a bit on the dry side, even the sirloin that was cut to order. The atmosphere had a cafeteria feel to it. The staff are friendly. They have a huge variety of canned, bottled, and fresh beverages. Can't decide what to eat, this places makes it easy for the undecided.

We moved here just 7 days ago. I never had Brazilian food before so I was pleasantly surprised to find an awesome buffet reasonably priced. Moreover, the staff were cordial. We paid after having the food. Definitely will go back there again.

My wife and I are Brazilian steakhouse noobs, having only tried and repeatedly visited the one in West Hartford (but $50 a person can drain that bank account). So our friends kept telling us about Banana Brazil, but I had been hesitant because it's pay per pound, instead of a full service buffet. But having visited today, the math checks out Banana Brazil is a STEAL.Let's start off with the obvious the location is rough and parking is terrible. But after jaywalking, my friends and I walked in to a shabby looking hole in the wall. To the left are paper plates (for eat in) and aluminum plates (for to go). Don't worry that there's no covers, they'll put it on for you at the cashier.It's buffet style, pick whatever, just know you're paying per pound. All I got was rice because the main event is the steak. Loads of choices, sliced to bite size pieces. I got the top sirloin and garlic beef. My plate and a canned mango drink came to about $18.When you stop to compare this to a fancy churrasco, you're really just cutting to the chase. You're not waiting for the top sirloin to come to you to eat a few slices, then wait a couple of minutes for another dish to come by. At Banana Brazil, get all you want and eat it's that simple.I will be back and loading up $50 worth of meat next time!

I went for lunch on a Sunday. For meats, I went for ribs, garlic beef and spicy sausage. Garlic beef was my favorite. Everything tasted good in the begining, but was too salty to my taste. By the time I started third piece, I could no longer eat anything more due to salt. I wanted to try the grilled pineapple, but they were out of it. They had many fresh juices including gauva, mango, cashew mango and passion fruit. I had a passion fruit juice. I should have weighed my lunch, it would have been cheaper that way. Instead I payed a fixed higher price.

Good food. Friendly service and atmosphere. You can pay by the pound or all you can eat BBQ. and as first timers we kinda missed the mark and took up too much stomach real estate with the buffet. (Which is absolutely delicious). The real star here is the BBQ meat options behind the counter. We sampled and loved them but were just too full for much. I'm no expert in Brazilian fare, but it felt home cooked and authentic... and that was the feedback from other regular patrons who were there and chatting. This is a diamond in the rough!
