I have gone by this location several times in the early morning while they are closed and always wondered about it. Then I went to midtown mall and they have a location there. I was in a rush and could not eat at the time. However, I decided I was definitely going to eat there ASAP. Went to this location by Dadeland mall. My whole family loved it. Me and my hubby ordered the picañha. It came with a choice of 3 sides. I got white rice and black beans with fries. My hubby got it with white rice, black beans, and mashed potatoes. It was absolutely delicious! My daughter also devoured her food. Due to our check in we got a free order of their Brigadeiros for dessert. Small yet undeniably delicious and satisfying. A must try, especially if you like chocolate. They come in a milk chocolate and a dark chocolate version. The restaurant was decorated for Halloween which we liked. It’s definitely fun for the kids and Halloween enthusiasts. There are booths and tables to chose from. The food is brought out to you and the kitchen is openly visible. All together the experience was great and we will definitely be coming back for more!

I finally tried this place out with my boyfriend for lunch and we left pretty satisfied. I ordered a chicken breast filet with rice quinoa and a salad and he got the feijoada which is pork sausage and beans with rice. The lady at the register was nice and helpful as we ended up getting pão de queijo and brigadeiros as well. This isn’t a top notch Brasilian restaurant. But its fast food, convenient and the food is tasty! It was empty-ish but I didn’t mind. The food hit the spot the only gripe my boyfriend had was that there wasn’t enough meat so perhaps next time he’ll pick a steak or burger. Pao de queijo was good as were the brigadeiros. Wasn’t pricey as we both chose dishes that were specials. All in all we will definitely return when we are in the mood for this kinda meal.

I don’t usually Review Fast Food Places, but Giraffas is very different compared to most Fast Food Services, in terms of Quality of Food, Location, and Service. There are only two locations here in South Florida that I know of. Here and The New one on Flagler. Giraffas is Excellent and everyone should get the chance to try it out should they happen to come across it. There aren’t too many Brazilian Restaurants I can name off the top of my head, so a place like this really intrigued me. You order at a Cashier and then get a Beeper that never rings, but Has a Number to Signal your order to the waiters. When your food is ready(which takes less than 10 minutes), they will bring the food to your table. In terms of food, EVERYBODY should try out the Brutus Burger with Seasoned Fries. A memorable dish that leaves you wanting more. And when you want more, you’re in luck. Dessert here is excellent with Chocolate Fudge bites and Cheesecakes. You won’t be in this place very long, so it’s perfect for a Lunch Break from Work. Only flaw I can name is that the Food can get a little pricey, but I can get over that as soon as I can taste how healthy all of their Dishes are. I like this place, and you will too.

Place was empty. That was a bad sign .I usually rely upon Unilocal when I’m hungry. Food looked good from other Unilocalers. i had the pica nah .not good the meat had no flavor it was bland so was the rice and mashed potatoes. It looked like that meat you buy in walmart with the grill marks on it they just reheat was tough nothing like Texas de Brazil. I do not recommend it. i will not be eating here again

Worst burgers I’ve ever had. Nothing special about this place besides for what it is it’s just not worth the money. Never going back

Very disappointed. This place was great when we were here last year. This time they were out of almost everything on the menu and didn’t tell us until after we were seated and had paid. We ordered wine(because they were also out of beer) and received two dirty glasses that had to be sent back. The menu was different too. Not very Brazilian. Won’t be back.

I can’t say enough about The quality of food at this restaurant. Besides it being absolutely delicious and healthy the service is great. I had the salmon and I had a really nice flavor and was very lean. My husband ordered the steak and although it did come a little bit well done, the manager quickly fixed it by giving us not one but two free entrées for the next visit. Emily was a sweetheart and really believes and good customer service. Definitely a good spot for a casual dinner.

Quinoa shrimp salad is the rave ! Picked up lunch today in under 5 mins. Girl at the register greeted me with a smile and immediately knew what I ordered . Could be a little less pricey for lunch but u get what u pay for Suggestion: start a lunch special if u already don’t have one

Pros: In Miami for a medical conference. My coworkers and I wanted to eat lunch at the Mediterranean place, but the wait for a table was too long. This really clean looking restaurant looked like the service was going to be fast. Cheese bread good. I should have ordered a hamburger; which my coworkers enjoyed. Cons: Saw a lovely promotion picture for a salad and ordered it. Quinoa shrimp salad overpriced. I didn’t think it was going to be that expensive. I had to pay for the salad and then extra for the shrimp.

The bruto burger was delicious! They also have a very good kids menu with healthy choices. When you come in the restaurant you first order and pay like a PeiWei then you take your number pick a table and they will bring the food to you. i will be returning the food was good and the place clean.

Crystal was very nice and provided excellent service with a smile! I had the NY strip steak it was very tasty! Also the black beans and side salad. Everything was delicious! The salad dressings were amazing too! I am really diggin the feeling of real-dinner– like– I’m– sitting– at– home– meal! The pao de queijo or cheese bread is heavenly and I believe you can get it free on Mondays or Tuesdays. Will definitely be back to try other menu items! :)

Decided to try this location after regular visits to the Midtown and Doral ones. Food quality and service is consistent with other locations I’ve been to. We got a free Dulce de Leche cheesecake for checking in on Unilocal.I’m not a bif DDL fan but this was pretty good. It’s a little bit of DDL poured on top of the cheesecake. So, if you’re not a fan you could probably scrape it off or give to someone else. Overall, I’m a regular at this chain. Tasty food, good portions.

I tried out the midtown location about 2 years ago… i was hooked. The food was so good. Then, i noticed these all over the place. On my first few visits, i tried the pinacha(steak) and loved it because you can’t beat the price point and the amount of food you get. But, i find it to be a little too fatty for my liking. You get to pick from 3 side dishes and i suggest getting their quinoa. It’s very good. I occasionally just get that to go. Try their chimicurri dressing! Most recently, i have tried their salmon and am not ashamed to say that i’ve ordered that to go consecutively for 3 days. Its so good and portions are huge. The service is fast, 15 minutes tops but bring a sweater because its always cold at this location.

I came here with a friend for lunch. I had seen the place on travel channel on a show featuring fast food from the Latin Americasand how they tailor their fast food menus to their populations. This place came out for it’s Brazilian twist of American Hamburgers. It’s a fast casual place like Chili’s two where your order at the counter, take a number, and they bring it to your table. I had the Galo De Braso which i can assume means chicken sandwich in Portuguese and I also got a free order of cheese bread for checking in on Unilocal.The food is well presented on a heavy rectangular plate which almost makes you forget that you are in a fast food place. Despite it’s looks the food wasn’t that great. The chicken sandwich was just regular chicken sandwich with ham, a fried egg, and bacon on top. I actually found the toppings overwhelming and killed the taste of the chicken. I would rather have pollo tropical to be honest. The cheese bread was straight but it needed a dipping sauce. Next time I go I’ll try the steak because those looked more appetizing and I’m sure that’s what they are known for, not their chicken sandwiches. I will update if I ever come back.

Ehh. The best way I can describe this place is like a modern/fancy Chicken Kitchen restaurant. You stand in line to order your food(like at any fast food place). Then you take a number, sit, and wait for your food. I must say that their customer service is great! They’re very nice and pleasant. The food, however, is not worth the price. Your plate will come out to $ 20.00+ and it won’t be the Churrasco you expected. The meat didn’t have much flavor, but the sides were pretty good. I hate to say I won’t be coming here again, but it was nice to try something new!

Excellent burgers. ! Kids meals are great! Walking towards 5 guys,(which is literally next door) this place caught our eye. We looked through the window and glanced at the window sing which showed their kids menu.(Rice beans grilled chicken & mash) which my baby loves! So we were sold. Once inside the place is nicely put together. They have much more than burgers but that’s what we had and they were so juicy !!! Would love to come back
