The best food in marlborough ma
Local Brazilian restaurant serving homemade dishes in an old diner. We've been there twice this month for lunch and we will definitely return. The Cheese Filet sandwich was fantastic and the Cheese Roast Pork sandwich...yum. Service was really good - not sure what the other posters are talking about. One guy manned the counter and the tables. He was polite and efficient and very patient when our language barrier got in the way. If you stop in, try their 'juices'. So good.
Amazing food, generous portions, cozy atmosphere inside a re-purposed diner. Outside seating as well. Definitely going on my hidden gem list. Will definitely be back with friends. Abrigado!
I lived in Brazil two years. This place is extremely authentic. For any American who goes there please don't expect the same type of service that you get when you go to The 99. This is not an American restaurant. If you want a mix of Brazilian burger and also grill that is 100% authentic and delicious then try this out.
Great food , great a service
Excellent place to eat. Delicious Brazilian food. I had the 'Prato do dia' Maravilhoso. I'll go back many times. 5
The owner was so nice! He took time to talk to us about Brazilian dishes and give us descriptions, answered all of our questions, and was very friendly. The food was absolutely delicious, and the portions are enormous! Ox tail soup & fish stew
