Braza Grill Salt Lake City

Tried Braza Grill right tonight on recommendation from my Brazilian friend. It's like Tucanos or Rodizio Grill but less Americanized. You know how you go on a cruise and they have a place to wash your hands before you eat? They have that, you're asked to do that before you go in. They had a variety of meat they bring around to you. Ham (my favorite), different types of chicken (the spicy chicken wasn't spicy but it was really good), sausage, steak and pork. They also have grilled pineapple which was one I didn't like as much as how they do it Tucanos. My husband really liked it and I did but I unexpectedly loved some of the salad bar dishes more than the rest. Usually I don't get much of that besides rice and beans. Usually the meat is why I'm there. I was way too full to try everything. I was proud of myself for trying fried yucca, which didn't have much flavor. The cheese bread bites were pillowy and delicious. I wanted to eat more, but no more room. I got a Brazilian limeade and I liked that it wasn't too sweet. I usually need to water down specialty drinks but not this one. The salad bar is smaller but has a lot to choose from still. I loved the artichoke hearts (bigger yummy pieces), broccoli gratin, mashed potatoes, not too silky and rich, I wonder what type of potatoes they use. Rice and black beans - esp the pinto beans were perfect, I wish I lived closer and could get some to go. The staff was so down to earth and friendly. They have a few locations but it doesn't have a chain/corporate feel. It was a comfortable, laid back vibe. It was full and louder atmosphere without feeling crowded. We were spaced out but it felt like a community. I liked that. You should get a photo taking the bull by his horns. That and eat well! You shouldn't leave hungry!
