The Brazilian Grill in Hyannis

Lovely sunny day, we decided to check out the much talked about Brazilian Grill in Hyannis on Main St. All my friends who are meat pigs can't say enough about the place.

It's just before the rotary on the right, westerly direction. They have a little patio where you can sit, but don't go out there if you want the BBQ or all you can eat meat (specialty) buffet. So we went into the resturant.

Dark, dark place, chuck filled with people. Basic tables, everything wood and dark. Brazilian waitresses, busboys, men in costume carving the BBQ meat, people talking, kids running around, WILD. Serious movement going on in that place, it almost had an ethnic block party feel to it. Brazilian music blaring in the background on the outside deck, Brazilian soccer on the TVs inside. Very interesting.

Anyway, the buffet consisted of salad stuff (unremarkable), your typical (but good) Brazilian rice dishes and fried bananas, some fish, and then MEAT. All kinds of MEAT. Meat cooked GOOD. The specialty appeared to be the Brazilian BBQ. Our waitress gushed over it. This guy in a Brazilian costume comes to your table with this long stick with a hunk a meat on it, and procedes to carve pieces for the folks on the table. Didn't get that, but from the drooling going on at all the tables around us, I suspect it's pretty good. Even the regular ol' beans were good, and the ice tea is not that crap with citric acid and corn syrup from a corporation pump. It was like, REAL.

My last big surprise was the ladies room. Did my mouth drop open when I walked into a "Bold Look of Kohler" designed bathroom? Complete with mocha colored, above the counter basins, with facets coming out of the wall -- ! Who woulda thought?

All your senses are activated in this place, and if they aren't, you need to quit your job.
