The Mrs and I stopped in for a quick lunch before heading to kids birthday party. Went for the sandwich called the BBQ Kitchen Sink. It had a bunch of BBQ meat on a hearty sub roll covered in melted cheese. It was a damn good sandwich!

This BYOB Brazilian steakhouse is casual and a good place to hang out with friends or family while stuffing yourself silly! My sister, her boyfriend, my hubby and I discussed the pros and cons of unlimited meat, served directly to you at your table for one flat rate (and affordable, too)... and in the end, decided that if we did it that way, weâd all waddle out of there, stuffed past comfort. Haha. So we decided to use the pay-by-weight method. Visited the salad bar, which had some interesting dishes I hadnât seen before - of those, my favorite was the very thinly sliced greens (maybe collard, or kale?) in a very light dressing, but I wanted to mostly have meat and not fill up on salad bar. Got a big plate full of steak and lamb (highly recommend the lamb!), and was very happy. Cost was less than half of the all you can eat option, and I was very satisfied.

This place is just great. They are fast and almost sauces are delicious. I normally I donât like boneless wings, but here they are well worth it sort of like a high end chicken tender. If ordering for super bowl or any other busy event order ahead. Their ribs are pretty good as well. Thanks!

Tired of the usual spots in this part of Worcester, we decided to venture out from our comfort zone and found this tiny, cozy gem off Rte. 122 on the western side of town. The aroma of pork bbq wafts through the air as soon as you enter, and beckons you to come in and set a spell. We were not disappointed with our choices, and ate them with relish. The hostess is a charming and friendly Brazilian lady who is happy to describe the items on the menu and whose demeanor guarantees a return visit. Looking forward to trying something new on their menu the next time.
