Mainha Restaurant

First time checking this place out. Honestly you’d drive right past this gem just because it’s never packed in the parking lot. This place offers buffet style where your plate is priced by weight. Options include rice, bean sauce (habichuelas), macaroni salad, chicken lasagna, potato salad, etc. delicious comfort foods basically. On the grill, they offer steak, chicken, pork, that’s cut right in front of you to the amount you prefer. Staff was friendly. Take out and dining options available. The place was clean and 2 tv’s are available in the dining area. I’ll definitely be coming to also try the homemade desserts! Honestly I’m surprised this place hasn’t gotten more attention, it’s well deserved.

Great customer service the staff is very friendly. My boyfriend and I always come here, we are frequent visitors and the food as never let us down. Very consistent!

Love the food. Great family lunch time is the best time to eat there. Everythong is fresh. Rice is awesome

It’s a place you would go to do a to go order. The meat was too salty for me and cold :/​. The sides were pretty good but nothing too special.
The desserts were amazing, especially the flan and the coconut cake.
The owners are this really cute couple that were really enthusiastic about having people come by. I think I would give this place another chance.

Great dinner, friendly staff, reasonable prices. Meats cooked on a large rotisserie and there are a good variety of sides served buffet style. Your plate is weighed after you get your food and is priced by the pound.
We go as a family and we have never been disappointed.

Great spot! Clean and very friendly. Family owned and operated. The sides were yummy and the variety of slow roasted meats were delicious. Do not salt! The meats are seasoned to perfection. It is a bit on the pricey side but well worth it. Every thing is weighed and priced according to how much you order.
I know my family will want to come back. Next year awaits.
Thank you Mainha!

Huge fan of Brazilian food, I usually go to Brazilian Grill down in Hyannis, MA. I never have a complaint mainha, great employees and always good food. HIGHLY recommend it if you want some Brazilian food!

So sad. No words. I wanted to love it so much. I needed Brazilian food so bad, that even ok would have been good for This Easton resident suffering from dismal culinary variety and talent.
The people were wonderful and sweet. One star their. The food was untouched. One bite and done. I didn’t even think Brazilian BBQ could ever be that bad.
But it was.

Great food, some unique Brazilian dishes, a bit salty and fatty but in a really good way.

Delicious confort food. Great selection of side dishes and abundant of grilled meat, chorizo and chicken. Refreshing juices and friendly staff. Clean sunny restaurant, and plenty of parking spaces. Plate sold by lb.

The meats were just about perfect. I tried sirloin medium and rare, brisket, flank medium and rare, lamb, and bacon wrapped chicken. The lamb and flank medium were my favorite. No complaints at all can’t wait to go back.

Great food an people I would recommend this place to anyone the chicken wrapped in bacon cooked to perfection an the fried plantains are some of the best I’ve had if you haven’t been to this place your life isn’t complete yet

Great food, loved everything I tried. Finished with the flan and my son had the passion fruit dessert. Scrumptious! Exceptionally friendly service. We’ll be back for sure.

My husband, daughter and a friend went to Mainha over the weekend, we’d never been there and based our decision on Unilocal reviews. We weren’t disappointed! The food was delicious, the meat selection was plentiful and the cook gave his honest suggestions. I chose boneless shortribs, rare and they were wonderful.
They weigh the meals by the pound which could get expensive if you’re a big eater but our dinner was about $ 50 for 3 adults and a toddler.
We will definitely go back!

walking in the door i am overwhelmed with the bold aged rotisserie exhuming the smell that excited your taste buds. Employees are friendly and cordial. spacious restaurant with excellent Brazilian décor. Great prices and even better tasting food! I highly recommend anything off the rotisserie! a must go to destination!

Best place to go if your hungry! Always fresh, always amazing! The staff is very friendly.

A pleasant surprise! I’m a huge fan of Rodízio restaurants, and had craved some good Brazilian steakhouse fare, but I didn’t feel like driving to any of the three mediocre ones in Braintree and Quincy. Lets get to it:
Concept: Turn one way and there is a buffet of traditional Brazilian food. Turn the other way, and behold what you came for: 15 juicy, perfectly cooked meats on skewers cooking over a fire. Unlike Rodizio buffets, they do not bring the meats to you in rotating fashion and have you point to which cut you want, and they do not charge a flat rate. (Its about $ 16-​$ 19 for the Quincy area spots) They charge you be weight; about $ 10 a heaping plate. So it creeps into the $$ range instead of the $ range, but its worth it for reasons to follow.
Food: For the most part, skip the regular buffet stuff. Like most buffets, its been sitting there for a little while and is its meats are a little tough. I did like the breaded fish and the pork ribs, but the coupe de grace was the Galinhada. Think yellow spanish rice with saffron and vegetables. That rice went well with ALL the meats. And oh the meat. I didn’t try all 15 types for a couple reasons. I wanted to be able to partially walk/​stumble out as opposed to hiring someone to roll me out. And a couple of the meats were the same thing but cooked medium or rare for those that prefer that sort of thing. Most of them are cooked to medium rare perfection. My favorite two were the flank steak and the boneless ribs. Both so very succulent. Which brings us to the reason why this place is worth the little bit of extra money over the mediocre Quincy/​Dedham area joints.
The meat is just better.
Not too salty like many of them are at the joint on Hancock St, not too dry like at the Midwest Grill in Dedham, or really all of them to one degree or another. The chef/​co-​owners are a husband and wife team, and the husband simply gives you the best cut every time. And because you can point to whatever you want, and its not in 15 meat rotating fashion, you don’t have to take the bad with the good. (relative-​to-​taste speaking; it’s all delicious) Other meats besides the ones I mentioned: sausages, lamb (wasn’t ready when I was there) Top Sirloin, chicken wrapped in bacon and many more. The key complimentary ingredient besides the rice? The glazed pineapple on its own skewer, winking at you, seducing you. In general I like as much variety in flavors as is humanly possible, but I couldn’t resist every other bite including some pineapple. Often times at other places, the pineapple is necessary to be able to swallow the overly dry meat. Here, its the hot fudge, the sundae, AND the cherry on top of every bite of juicy meat.
If I really like a place, I don’t just remember the meal, I remember a specific perfect bite. Here, the only dry skewered meat was the chicken wrapped in bacon. I’ve never brazilian bacon-​wrapped chicken that wasn’t too dry EVER. Solution: Strip the bacon off the chicken, add a little piece of boneless ribs or the flank steak and top it off with a little piece of pineapple. What an amazing bite. I’m going to go change my pants now.
Atmosphere: Small, very basic, nothing fancy. Actually the layout is more like that of a breakfast place. A bunch of semi-​ugly looking license plate shaped S American/​Latin American/​Hispanic locations from around the world. You didn’t come here for the atmosphere though, did you?
Service: Although it is a buffet, service obviously still matters. And the wife part of the married team was extremely friendly, attentive and personable. We chatted a little bit. If I like a place and the owner is around, I like to let them know. And as I said before the husband gave me the best cuts of meat every time; that’s all the service I needed from him!
So why not 5 stars?
Being a huge foodie for the better part of two decades, and having always been too lazy to write reviews (I CAN’T half-​ass them) I have determined that now that I’ve taken the plunge, I will not give out 5 star reviews to any place unless they so blow me away that I truly consider them to be one of the best places I’ve ever eaten. A place that I can’t wait to go back to literally that same night. And simply put: I’ve never eaten at ANY Brazilian place that I consider to be «Five Stars». But check this place out and keep them in business! They deserve it, and so do your taste buds.

I and two colleagues needed to visit 2 businesses in Avon and Easton. Unilocal had a great review for Mainha so this is where we planned to eat lunch.
Unilocal was mostly right, but not complimentary enough. The food was delicious, the staff super friendly and enthusiastic and the price was more than reasonable. If you are in Avon and want an amazing meal stop into Mainha!

A few co-​workers and I were in search of something different in the area (Avon industrial park doesn’t offer much in the way of food) and happened to stumble upon reviews of this place while online. I’d driven by it a number of times but it always looked like a hole in the wall.
I might have been right about the «hole in the wall» part, but once you try the food here, this place becomes something of a legendary experience. I’ve honestly had some of the best meats of my life here.
And oh, the price is right.
Don’t let this one fool you. You need to stop here and eat, like now…

I’m really surprised there are only 2 other reviews for this place.
I wish I had stopped in before. If only I had known the food was so good.
They serve Brazilian food, buffet style. You pick from an assortment of Brazilian food then pay by weight. It’s also a place you can eat in. I got it to go.
The food is so good, I recognized some of the dishes, some I have never heard of.
All of them looked and smelled good. I tried the plantains, yucca, and pumpkin. The meat is served from skewers cooked over a fire. The meats are ready in a variety degree of wellness. I had the sirloin and my favorite, chicken wrapped in bacon.
Everyone who works there is friendly and will help you decide what to get.
Almost forgot to tell you, they have this really good homemade hot sauce and other type of hot sauces to try. I really liked the homemade hot sauce!
