Tainted Food. I ate here for a birthday and became violently ill by the end of the meal. The restaurant denied any wrong doing and said it takes hours for food poisoning to set in, which is not the case. Poor customer service when trying to resolve the issue. I would not recommend this place.…
One of my favorite Restaurants. Hands Down!!!. Brazzaz is amazing. I often go there when I have that extra money to spend. Believe me when I tell you that if I know I'm going there I don't eat all day because I know I have a real treat awaiting me @ Brazzaz. Everyone that will listen I have told about this dynamic affair that is the Brazzaz experience, and now I have them going back for more. the food, salad bar, drinks, staff, & ambiance are one of a kind. If your dining for business or pleasure @ Brazzaz it is sure to bring a smile to your face & it is that type of restaurant you can have a business lunch or family dinner. Either way the experience will surely exceed your expectations. This restaurant is #1 on my list if it's truly authentic Brazilian Cuisine or not.…
Not a TRUE brazilian dinning experience. Dissapointed..
I have been to Brazzas, I liked it, good food, no arguing that, But like the other restaurants that claim to be Brazilian, they are not. Just becuase it uses some methodes of the cooking stages as
brazilian and Poruguese people do, and carry Cachaca Caipirinha, does not make them a BRAZILIAN restuarant!!
The are merely showing you a very small fraction of what to expect if you go to Brazil. I am speaking like this becuase I am from Brazil, and ate at true brazilian restaurants in Modesto, CA. where brazilians and Portuguese People are abundant. SoWE know how to cook and know what we are talking about. NOW, DON'T GET ME WRONG, THE FOOD THEY PREPARE IS GOOD. And, lets just say that, but brazilian, NO! And please, don't get fooled if they throw a brazilian staff member or two to make it look authentic. If you want to truly eat GOOD brazilian dishes, visit any web sites that carry the recipies, or meet some brazilian friends, or go to the few Brazilian stores in The Chicagoland area, and buy the meats there, or any other Brazilian products. I'm sure that the folks at one of these stores would GLADLY give you pointers.
Try to understand, if you go there, expect GOOD service, nice ambience, and good food, just NOT the authentic style you intend on getting. Like I said, I am from Brazil, my mother owned a Churrascaria in Itajai, Santa Catarina. We know Brazilian food 100%.
And just to WARN you!! "Texas De Brazil", another Downtown "Brazilian" Restaurant is a little below average when it comes to this review also. I mean come on...Brazil and TEXAS!!? FOGO DE CHAO, is somewhat better, BUT I still would recommend the Brazilian stores.

Let the Parade of Grilled Meat Begin!. Brazzaz! is now officially our favorite Chicago restaurant. You should expect to go hungry and leave stuffed. This is a one-price restaurant. It's about $50 per person, without drinks or dessert, but worth every cent. When seated, you'll notice a small disk at each seat. One side says "Yes Please" the other "No Thank You". This is to let the gauchos know when you're ready to begin the grilled meat portion of your meal. But first, you'll want to make a trip to the salad bar, which isn't like the normal American lettuce bowl with a variety of toppings experience. Imagine marinated and grilled red peppers, asparagus, oysters on the half shell, sushi, cheese, fruit, breads & crackers, mixed salads, shrimp cocktail, and more. Fried bananas are brought to the table, along with mashed potatos. When you're ready, flip the disk to the "Yes Please" side and almost immediately a "gaucho" will appear with an offering of grilled meat on a sword. They advertise 16 different kinds of grilled meat, and they aren't kidding. My personal favorites are the filet mignon and lamb chops. When you've had enough protein, look for the gaucho carrying the grilled pineapple. This is an experience in itself. Grilled pineapple is even better than when it's cold. There's something about grilling it that makes the sweet sweeter and the tart tarter. I think it's the perfect finish and found that it's very settling to my overworked digestive system. The service is amazing, the decor is beautiful, and the food is awesome. The tables are a bit tight, but that's to be expected in Chicago.…
Meat-o-rama.
I was taken to Brazza's as a surprise dinner. Boy-Howdy...was I surprised. Talk about Meat-Coma! The salad bar alone was unbelievable, service 5 star and the meat... out of this world. Hard to say
no...and had I known in advance....I would have prepared myself for the experience. A must top 10 list of things to do in the cullinary world.
