Raizes Churrascaria, Brooklyn NY

Good environment and excellent service. The owner is very friendly! Very clean. My family love this place.

Place itself is very nice looking and staff was very helpful and friendly. The meats of the mini rodizio though were all very overcooked. Everything was very dry. Starters of cod fritters and sardines were a little better but overall the atmosphere and people were far better than the food.

Passed by for lunch with Mom. Ample seating. People by the bar drinking. Beautiful Bartender! Our waiter was awesome as well. Nothing to complain bout. WAIT! Okok the fries from the fish and chips wasn't all that but the fish batter was awesome. DELICIOUS! Skirt steak was DELICIOUS as well. Will be back again.

I don't go here often, but have enjoyed their brunch menu quite a bit. As far as Brazilian food places go in this neighborhood, options are low.

Delicious food as always. We had thr chicken truffle pasta, shrimp and lobster roll, fried cauliflower with parmesan, oysters, and mussels. Summer fun drink and lychee martini were spot on. Only thing is the dessert. It was early and they had already run out of the creme brule cheesecake. And it was the special! Not the first time they have run out of a desert that we wanted to order.

I'm portuguese living in New York. We ordered the mini rodizio which was incredibly over cooked and the meat was definitely super hard, frozen and flavorless. The girl serving was so nice and I told her about it. She told her boss. Her boss didn't care only told her it's because it was another type of meat called alcatra. Nice try. I'm portuguese and I know alcatra, which is also supposed to be tender not hard. I was specially surprised because portuguese people are soo prideful about their food and the owner didnt even came apologize or talk to us about it. Just kept chatting around. Very disappointed that this place doesn't care about the quality of their food or ingredients. I definitely don't recommend at all! It's actually a shame to represent my country's food so poorly

Food is garbage! Got food poisoning after I returned inedible calamari and Mussels. Server said, “ there’s nothing wrong with the Mussels, they are fresh today, wanna see the invoice? ” My kids (2&4) wouldn’t even eat their French fries…

Really good experience dining here. The food was great and the service was exceptional. The only thing that wasn't very good was the chorizo.

It was expensive but good.

The meat dishes was plentiful but it was not super flavorful.

The chorico dip was fire though

The staff is super nice. It was nice to watch the games on the TVs also.

Bacalhau com Natas was good but absolutely not the way it was supposed to be. Completely different than in Portugal, with big chunks of fish and potatoes, so be prepared. Wine from Alentejo definitely worth it. Owner was present and such a sweetheart. Overall an amazing experience, but not sure if going back for the Bacalhau.

My experience wasn't the best at this restaurant and here's why. I made a reservation here for a family get together and we were all supposed to have dinner together. We had about 20 people but 2 extra came. There was not enough chairs for everyone at the table they set up, so I kindly asked the owner for a few extra. She was very upset and started to yell at me. She told me they don't have any extra chairs and it isn't her problem but mine because we have 2 extra people. The only solution she thought of was to seperate us. Half of my family had to sit all the way across the restaurant. After, we were waiting on our food for 2 hours. A few family members were frustrated because it was taking so long and left. The kids were also starting to get annoyed so they asked our waiter when it will be served, he said soon. It got to the point I was so upset, so I asked the owner about our food. She said we never ordered anything. 10 minutes later AFTER 2 HOURS OF WAITING! Our food magicaly was served. Keep in mind, the other half of my family that had to sit across the restaurant, ordered their food at the same time as us and received it much faster than where I sat. Additionally, this restaurant is heavily under staffed. They had a total of 3 waiters and one of them was the owner. They don't have extra chairs and they don't have extra waiters. That day the restaurant was filled with people, reservations back to back. I would like to shout out one of the waiters though, Benny F. He was awesome. I felt bad for him though because of how unorganized the restaurant was. He understood the problems we had and tried his best to help. He was also great with the kids. When the kids started to get upset because the food was taking so long, he was really kind to them unlike the owner. I was also upset with the bartender, one of my family members had a few beers. The bartender was upset for no reason and said he was drinking and ordering more too fast. We were all there just to have a good time. After the bartender said that, my family member told him it's none of his business how much he drinks. The bartender is here for him and his job is to serve him. The bartender replied and said it's his business, overall he was nasty just like the owner. In addition, the restaurant knew they had alot of reservations that day. Some of the menu items were not available such as filet mignon. Me and all of my family members are not recomending this place to anyone, there are many other restaurants around the area, I'm sure their owners are much nicer.

Was denied access here because of my SD. My task trained golden retriever service dog, in his vest, was refused entry, therefore I was refused entry. I was told by staff that they needed to see his “card”. No such thing exists for a working dog. Staff would not relent despite me patiently explaining this. The ignorance is astounding.

I had to change my review from a 4 star yo a 1 star after terrible service and food tonight. I've ate here about 50 times or so and everything has just gone downhill from the waiting to be greeted/seated to the burnt frozen appetizers to waiting for a soda over 20 minutes and asking 2 different people and after waiting about 30 minutes and 3 people telling me my drink was on its way i was then told they ran out of beer. Like seriously. I was so disappointed i wanted to leave before my meal was even served and that was a disaster all the fried apps were burnt and rock hard but my fries were greasy and barely cooked and the fish batter was all mushy and fish was soggy. Just a really bad experience all around and then to add icing on top the check had a 3% card fee charged when i was paying in cash and when i asked about it i was told they can take it off it i want to pay in cash and next time it won't happen. I can assure you there will be no next time.

We made reservations since we were a large party, not enough menus were out when we got there, once everyone got there we didn't even get water we had to ask, they brought out appetizers fairly quickly but we all came hungry so they went quick, they left us for about 15min before taking all our drink orders, drinks took almost 20-30min to come out then we ordered food (we all got there between 5: 45-6pm and didn't get served our actual meals till about 8) And I understand we were large group but there were probably only 4-5 other tables with no more than 2-4 people per table. A lot of us got streak and we were not given any steak knives or new utensils since they took them along with our appetizers plates, no one ever came to get out empty glasses so 2 of us had to get up and grab all the empty glasses and move them to clean off our table since the food could not fit anywhere with all the cups, and a lot of the time we had to get up ourselves to grab things from the bin that had the utensils, napkins etc. This place for a large party was not cheap, especially with those who ordered seafood, most of everything had little to no flavor, very bland, everything from dinner needed salt or something. The only thing 90% of us enjoyed were the appetizers. The actual dinner itself was very underwhelming. I don't see us coming back or recommending this place to anyone.

Excellent service, amazing super hot food, flavorful, satisfying & simply delicious! I went there for my birthday and can't wait to come back to it's pleasant and welcoming vibe with a glass of Portuguese wine.

Celebrated my anniversary there with my husband and son. Love the rodizio. The mango margarita is so good! Never had a margarita with mango juice in bubbles. Sweet! Thank you for the complimentary glass of champagne for the occasion.

Nice Portuguese restaurant. Food is delicious and they have great lunch specials. Also have a large bar if you perfer not to eat at table.
