Daily News: "Don't worry about pronouncing it, just get there as quickly as possible. The New York Times: "Two things are required to truly appreciate Churrascaria Plataforma: a large appetite to keep you eating and a large group to cheer you on." New York Post: "It's a wonderful concept - the idea that you go and take as much as you want of various salads and eat as many meats as you can imagine..."
This place is fantastic. PERFECT for pre-theatre, or fun for any occassion, because they can accomodate ANY group size. You start with a "salad bar" of assorted Brazilian dishes, which are quite tasty. But when you get back to your seat, the real fun begins. The waiters bring skewers of about a dozen different kinds of grilled, marinated meats (chicken, beef, sausage, ham, lamb, etc.), and don't stop offering until you give them the red light. Everything tastes great, and they have a wonderful wine list to accompany the meal. ENJOY!
Pros: MEAT, MEAT, MEAT

This brazilian barbeque place is a GREAT place to have fun in a dinking experience, however be prepared to eat, eat eat a lot of meat. Not being a big meat eater, I still love that place. It is a great ambiance and a good place for parties, big groups, espcially loud rowdy kinds! The food is excellent, the salad and sea food bar incredible and the sangria and desserts almost a must! It is a real experience in itself with no menus and for once, let your eyes be bigger than your stomach!

I love this place. If you love to dine on charred animal flesh this is the place to be. There are approximately fifiteen kinds of meat and if you are smart don't fill up on the sides that come first. Wait until the hangar steak, swine and sirloin comes out. I had the waiters bring back so much meat that that asked me if I wanted Flank steak for dessert. I said no...Just bring me the Hanger Steak.
Pros: Meat, Meat, Meat

There's the large (in size and variety) buffet and the waiters who come around with the racks of meat. Hint: Save yourself for the meat. It better then the buffet.

This is primitive human food served with panache. An almost bacchanalian experience.

I brought a party of 17 people to this wonderful establishment. Besides waiting half an hour for tables to be set, the food was wonderful and very filling. It's every carnivores dream. The food was not only plentiful but of top quality
Pros: great bar area
Cons: the wait

Had my birthady party recently there and had a great time. There was sooo much food. It was pretty crowded and make reservations but was fun.

Food is good (not great), the servers are great. But I have to agree with some comments over here: there's no respect for customers... the managers rush you to get you out making you feel very uncomfortable...

Courteous service, food never ends. Everything was tasteful, come with an empty stomach.

This place was great. They offer so much food that I suggest you not to eat the whole day before getting there. I guarantee you. From the salad bar to the wide selection of meats to the desserts, it is all spectacular. The wait is long, so it would be best to make a reservation.
Cons: they rush you out

Summary - good food which they rush you through and do everything to up your bill.
The food was good, however beware, only salad and meat are included. The waiters do not tell you that and our large party wound up with over $100 extra food because all members thought dessert, coffee/tea were included - which they lead you to believe - and they weren't. Not a pleasant feeling! After getting the $900 bill, but before paying, we were asked to please pay and then leave our table quickly because there were others waiting to eat. Not very gratuitous for the amount of money we were leaving.
Pros: large space
Cons: they rush you, loud

Very Brazilian in character, similar to its origins in Rio de Janeiro. Meats are plentiful and brought to your table endlessly. Quality relatively low. A paradise for bigtime eaterswho don't tire of eating.
Pros: inexpensive, lively, large portions
Cons: noisy, quality poor

Every dish was both plentiful and excellent! The lamb and london broil were the best I've ever tasted. Enjoyable evening. I plan on returning!
