I’ve been here twice and both times, I thought the food was just average. Nothing extraordinary. I love the whole concept though. There’s a variety of food. The second time I went, there was a band playing. I love the fact that it’s all you can eat meat! And I also love how the waiters walk from table to table to offer you the meat. My favorite had to be chicken wrapped with bacon. However, I noticed a majority of the meat I ate were very salty. Or it could be that I’m just not use to it since that was my first time ever eating Brazailian food. But all in all, i thought the food(specifically the meat) wasn’t over the top. just«ok»

This place has gone from awesome to aweful! Gone are the great service from the waitresses. Gone are the warm brazilian cheesebread. Gone are 99cents house beer. The only saving grace is the live music on the weekends.

I’ve had Brazilian buffet in Quincy before and the meats there were dried and really salty. That place had discouraged me from any cuisine dealing with Brazilian foods until my friend forced me to try this one in Everett. And I must say, that this place is the best I’ve ever had.

Gosh what can I say? Place is great if you are super hungry. The service is ok but the food really should be highlighted. You usually can get rodezio for super cheap here but if you come in between lunch and dinner you will pay by the pound. The food is rich and heavy so I can’t imagine you really wanting to eat more then one plate. Then again the selection is huge so you may want seconds. I love Brazilian food and nothing really comes close to this price and quality in Houston, TX. Then again there is a much larger Brazilian population but I could imagine with all the meat eating southerners here that a place like Café Belo would do so well.

Haven’t had the opportunity to eat there yet, but the bar part is loads of fun! The generally have these Brazilian folk or rock bands on the weekends and the crowd is always so into it, lots of dancing and overall a good time. I’m not even Brazilian and even though 98% of the people there are, I never felt out of place or not welcomed!

When I think Brazilian BBQ I think Texas de Brazilian, the heavenly place for the finest cuts of meet on a skewer and an amazing salad bar with real sushi… unreal. You wish you had 5 stomachs. I digress… Anyways I thought id check out this place because i heard its cheap, $ 10 cheap for all you can eat. The salad bar wasnt anything special minus the rice which was very authentic and the sweet plantains. They also had fried yuka which was ok but i wish they had tostones. The meat was decent and they came every 10 mins or so with 3 rotations of meats(i expected 5⁄6 diff meats). The waitress rushed us out with the check and we left. When we passed by the place later on the way home 3 hours later the place was poppin(fri night) with a live band and a ton of people. Check it out on a fri night, not a bad option if your hungry. Tip: Try a caiperinha, its the staple drink of brazil and delicious

You’d HAVE to pay the extra couple of dollars to get the BBQ option, because that’s the only food worth eating. The regular buffet food is really, almost inedible. The ambiance is nice and the staff was friendly. You can’t really go wrong with a $ 10BBQ buffet.

Café Belo is awesome! I’ve always had the same thing when I come here — Rodizio. If you like a Brazilian BBQ, you’ve likely been to Midwest Grille or Olivera’s down the street. To me, prices are a major differentiator for Café Belo. Servers are generally friendly and attentive enough, live music on Friday nights is pretty cool. Like anywhere, they have their nights. I’ve come a couple times when the meats were a mixed bag; some dry, some over or undercooked, but most of the time I’ve had juicy, tender cuts of beef, pork and chicken. I always leave full. I’m a big fan. Its a great value and you can really get as fat as you want, come hungry. Try the chicken wrapped in bacon!

Finally, a non-threatening and reasonably priced Brazilian BBQ! You have two options here: all-you-can-eat for $ 12 and change or pay by the pound. The unlimited option was definitely the way to go. Now, buffets can be tempting, but keep in mind that the best stuff comes right to your table ON A SWORD. We filled up our plates with samplings from the buffet, from various salads(the potato salad was my favorite), rice and beans, and a gigantic french fry. The fun begins when the skewers of meat begin to arrive, ranging from chicken wrapped in bacon to pork ribs, chicken sausage, and top sirloin. There’s a definite joy in grabbing the meat as it falls off from being cut and tasting as much as possible. Be sure to pace yourself; this place is extremely laid back, there’s no card to flip over to tell them to bring meat and they’ll keep serving you for as long as you’d like. A special bonus was the live music on Friday night — a singer with a beautiful voice and a talented guitar player — offering up traditional songs, as well as their gorgeous arrangements of pop songs like Rock with You, Come Away With Me, and Hotel California. Highlight of the evening was absolutely Tears in Heaven. There’s ample parking behind the restaurant and it’s located conveniently in downtown Everett. The value is tremendous here for the amount of succulent meat and I’ve paid four times as much for less of an experience. I will definitely be back.

sooo much meat! Although I’m still not a fan of buffet meals(hey I love my leftovers, its like a reward in the morning to eat it for breakfast) with a giftcard in hand and large amount of options at the buffet table my belly was engorged with food. There are a few cons, the meat of course if buffet and thus not always the best cuts. There were many beef options but the chicken would not come for a long time. Once it did, it tasted amazing and seemed much better quality than the beef. The waitress was nice but both me and my bf had to individual ask her for water instead of it being brought out right away. There was some communication issues with a language barrier but that had no effect on the meal so neglectable problem. Overall 3.5(because it took soo long for the chicken bbq) rounding up to 4 do to the copious amounts of other options to eat. Pomegranate kazie was awesome too.

Café Belo is excellent!!! The servers are all extremely friendly, and willing to explain menu items for non portuguese speakers. I don’t know what could possibly be better paying $ 9 for an all you can eat buffet. I am NOT a fan of buffets, I tend to stay away. But this is some good stuff. The first time I went I was a bit thrown off. Went up to the buffet and filled my dish with rice, veggies, etc. No meat? Whats with that? Sat down at the table, and noticed all of these male servers coming around table to table with huge skewers of fresh meat! Bacon wrapped chicken, beef, basically anything you could think of. And the best part is, they ask you which specific section/piece you want(since some are rarer than others). I really love this place. It such a great deal, and really the best place in Boston to get some Brazilian bbq.

Excellent food. All-you-can-eat lunch for $ 10.99 in June 2010. Convenient parking. We were a group of six and we were charged 18% tip, so it was all figured out for us. Great service(quiet time of day), lots of extremely delicious and filling choices(salads, pastas, rice, fish, potato salad), and the BEST steak anywhere!!! Rodizio: Yummy sausages, chicken breast, hearts, and wings, steak cooked rare to well, you take what you want with tongs at the table as they come by with HUGE skewers full. All the rest on a huge buffet spread in the next section behind a wall away from where you sit. The rest of the(somewhat limited) menu is overpriced, which makes the buffet a no-brainer.

Even though I’m not much of a meat-eater, I probably got my yearly quotient of it with the rodizio here. The skewers keep coming, and coming – some are pretty salty, but they’re all pretty good, though I didn’t try the chicken liver ones. The night I was there, they were having some issues with their liquor license. Otherwise, if you want to look like a true denizen, get the guarana soda, called Antarctica. It’s like less-hyper Red Bull. The case has 24 different kinds of cakes and tarts, but the ones we had were kind of stale.

I’ve only been once but it was absolutely amazing. The buffet itself would be worth the 9 bucks a person, lots of variety, and many things were really really good, from the chesse bread to the chicken to the veggies. Dont fill up too much on it though because the meat is superb. I came with two people who were not big fans of red meat who tried some of the beef and said«if all red meat was cooked like this I’d be eating it every day.» The service in terms of getting water refills was a little spotty, but the manager came over to our table, a party of 7, multiple times throughout our meal to make sure everything was good. In addition to the normal meats going around(chicken hearts, garlic beef, sausages, etc) there were interesting dishes like pesto gnocci(amazing), bbq ribs(not my favorite) and stuffed grilled tomatoes(to die for). I havent been to any of the other locations yet but I’m looking forward to it. The Everett location will not leave you disappointed and its cheap as hell.

Great rodizio for less than $ 10! Excellent buffett, great assortment of traditional Bazilian foods as well as more familiar American food. Sure to put the squeeze on the other Brazilian joints in this town. The eating areas are clean(floors and tables) and the atmosphere is fun. Municipal parking lot behind restaurant. The service can be spotty, had to ask the waitress several times for water refills.

Really good food. Meats are cooked well(save for a piece of raw beef I was given, but not a big deal, there’s plenty of other meat) and seasoned perfectly, not too salty and not too bland. Pretty good buffet spread as well, with yummy Brazilian cheese bread. Good dessert selection, too. Place is crowded but lively. Can’t beat the price, in fact, I think it’s a bit underpriced because one would think something that cheap can’t be any good, but not the case here. If you don’t live in the area, make an adventure of it and bypass the mediocre Midwestern Grills of your hood to check this place out. Lots of parking available in an ethnically vibrant neck o’ the woods.

Great place I must say… There isn’t anything that I can say bad about it. U walk in, and the decorum is well done, the host is very kind no matter which one is there, and the smell is to «eat for!» Bathrooms are downstairs with lots of space & are clean. I go here often. It’s so good I’ve told my Mom about it. How’s that!!!

WOWTHISPLACEISAMAZING!!! $ 8.99 for ALLYOUCANEATMEAT! Ohh godddd yes! You can’t f*ckin beat that! Out of all the Rodizio restaurants I have been to, Café Belo is my favorite. It is the cheapest by far, they have meat for daayyyss, they have the best selection for the buffet, AND they serve Batidas(a very strong and delicious Brazilian drink). I recommend the Pineapple Batidas. It’s like a Pina Colada but with condense milk. It’s very sweet and it goes down FAST(becareful!). The seats are wicked comfortable(I usually perfer booths but the chairs have these cushions that you sink into. so comfy) and the décor is very classy. This is the place where you need to take your time and eat. Service is a little slow but I personally hate being rushed out of a restaurant. Sorry Midwest Grill, you just lost a fan!
