Minas Brazilian Steakhouse

My husband and I went to Mina's recently and it was worth the trip to the downtown which I am not really familiar driving to. Foremost, the service was great from the first staff who greeted us at the door and guided us to our table and the serving of our food. The meal was well worth more than the price we paid for. Most of all, the staff were very friendly which further emphasized the ambience of home. Worth noting and impressive is how they found ways to keep their customers safe without sacrificing quality service and great food.

Minas is a Brazilian Steakhouse that specializes in all you can eat meat. They also serve small individuals portions at the request of the individual. Employees will push around a cart with meat and ask if you would like a cut. This is generally done as an all you can eat method. The location is quiet convenient. The restaurant is nicely decorated and gives off a fun atmosphere. The parking can be a little difficult. Individuals will most likely have to pay for parking at Eau Claire market. As the restaurant only has a few parking spaces up front. The food was great. All of the meat was well prepared. The cuts of steak were juicy. The chicken was tender and the pork wasn't dry. A few select cuts of beef were more salty than others. All of the meat can paired with a variety of sauces. Ranging from hot sauces to more savory flavors. Pairing the meat with the sauces is highly recommended. Paired with the meats are sides. The sides are also unlimited. Sides can range from rice, sashimi, shrimp and much more. Eating the sides will give the taste buds a refresh from eating all the meat. The sides are delicious, be careful not to fill up on them. As it will stop you for eating all the meat. The service was very fluid and quick. The waitresses were always attentive and quick to help. The waitresses will be the ones to take the orders for the sides. However, depending on where you are seated, the meat can take a long time to get to you. The price is reasonable and expected for a Brazilian Steakhouse. It isn't cheap but not overly expensive. If you do not feel like eating a lot, then you may not get your money's worth. Overall, Minas Brazilian Steakhouse is a fun and great way to try a variety of meats. The fun and enjoyable atmosphere make this restaurant a light hearted place to enjoy a meal. Definitely give it a try if you are into eating different types of meat!

I had my first encounter with a Brazilian steakhouse here and it was a really nice one. The servers were friendly and the meat served was tasty. A true carnivores delight. All this at a very reasonable price.

The staff was friendly and we were greeted with a smile and seated right away. The food was good, I had the Mistinho, I enjoyed everything but the pork, it was drowning in what reminded me of Frank's red hot sauce and couldn't taste anything but that, and the garlic bread was stale and rock hard. Their Moscow Mule was delish. The tres leches cake didn't look as pretty as the picture on the menu.. but the taste was to die for!! Overall we had a lovely dinner.

Solid 4.5. wonderful environment and due to covid times, the setup is different. They bring the appetizer dishes to you along with serving the meats behind a plastic guarded wheel cart. Highly recommend making a reservation here as it gets busy. It can accomodate a variety of group sizes. The appertifs or technically called churrasco can truly fill you up on its own. You want to try everything there as it stands unique. The servers put the plates together for you in a very appropriate and moderate serving size (these are also unlimited). There isn't a bad choice and would highly recommend trying a bit of everything (especially if you're with a group). The meat skewers come out in front of you and you chose what you want. They proceed to slice a few slices on a new plate for you and your group. The only thing is that some taste rather similar to others (making it hard to differentiate at times). It's also hard to hear what they were and what type of meats (no signs and hard to remember at times). The chicken hearts were mediocre here. The desserts (which was extra costs) was ok but I would stick more towards the churrasco dishes. Seeing sashimi there was the biggest shocker but very tasty. At the front of the store you will also find a small market of Brazilian goods - items you don't normally find in any supermarket and very niche. An authentic experience overall.

Minas can be a perfect place for feasting yourself ?. There were fresh side menu food and juicy meats. Even I dined in for lunch, I had a satisfying experience. Price of soda was a bit expensive ($4 for a cup). Give it a try if you are a meat lover!

We had a fantastic experience at Minas. Food and selection was all very yummy. High quality choices such as pork belly were there. What really made the difference for us was the service! Attentive but not invasive. Friendly and helpful even when we were at the buffet staff came up to us and asked if we had any questions. They asked if we were celebrating anything and we told them a late Valentines day date. They surprised us with an extra dessert dish and a sparkler- such a thoughtful touch! Really an excellent experience my wife and I felt like special guests!

Good meat quality. Food was very tasty. Great salad bar. Service was top notch. Ambiance was fun. I did find it a bit overprice if you come with little kids. Not worth it if you have small kids or picky eaters. But overall experience was positive.
