Reviews for Panela De Barro Restaurant in Waltham, MA
This is sort of a brazilian churrascaria though it's not the traditional green/red card system where you get served at your... table. This one, i am still confused about the pricing model, and it feels pretty disabling. I didn't check what tier thecashier put me in and the signage is confusing. My best guess is that 4 pieces of meat from the hot buffet puts you in thenormal $10.99/lbs pricing. If you get 4 pieces of meat from churrascaria you get charged $15.79/lbs. And if you get meat only, ithink it's $20.99 from memory. We decided to share a big box and got 4 pieces from buffet as well as 4 from churrascaria, andwe paid $22. Drinks are $2-$4 for glass bottle of cashew juice or guava. Overall, it was good and there's option to take outor eat in the back room set up like a restaurant. Quality was good. We'll go back, paying more attention to pricing. Read more
The place is great. It is located by my office and always looking forward for taking out their amazing food. Great place.
Great food and staff.but make sure you park your car off the main street. They don't have warning signs for the customers nor do... they have cameras for security.i came out from the restaurant and my side mirror was all crashed.Take care. Read more
I leave in Waltham for more than 20 years I?ve been going into this restaurant since they open but I won?t come back anymore,... NEVER, first reason is,right now food does not taste like a real Brazilian food plus a Spanish lady who works there, a small andchubby lady who serve cut my meat, she was really mean to me,she called me a liar, she screamed at me only because I asked herto change the meat she was cutting because was not cooked enough for my test , I was so embarrassed, the worse experience lever had,never no one called me a liar only because of piece of meat. I will never come back, I used to know the owner he usedto be Carlos but I?m not sure. Don?t recommend employees is horrible!!!!!! Read more
We were excited to try this place out given its positive reviews and close to our house. We called and were told the meals are... weughed and cost $9.99 per lb, which we were fine with. We went at 530 so no crowds and we thought we would get everything freshand seated fast. After filling up our plate and going to the meat counter, we were told there was only 1 meat ready and it waswell done. Since we like thing rare, we asked how long it would take before other meats would be done. We were told at least 15minutes. I said we would wait until there were options of meat we wanted. However, we were told that if we came back for meat itwould cost $17.99. I explained that I did not want the well done meat and we were not told when we came in that it was the onlyoption. They were very inflexible. So we took our business elsewhere. It was unfortunate since we wanted to support a localsmall business so too bad that they were not willing to work with us when it was their fault that they did not have food readywhen they are open.

Good quality food, ask for meet @ the window. The beef ribs and spicy sausage are nice
Good food and very reasonable pricing. Staff is always nice! Parking is hard to find specially during the busy lunch hours.... Every weekday there are different specials which is great to change up a bit. Read more
First of all this is the king of review that I hate to do but on the other hand I must to. What I?ve experienced at this... restaurant is unacceptable As a Brazilian I wouldn?t recommend this food not even to my worst enemy. Seriously Salad bar and hotbar area: food taste anything but Brazikian. There?s no flavor Churrasco(barbecue): I got served extremely over cooked meat. Asthe carver was serving me off the meats I could tell the meats was horrible but I was that hungry that I?ve decided to give atry and ignore what my eyes were seen. Big mistake! At first glance I had to throw away the whole food. I left the place anddeparture on my way to another restaurant When I brought my plate to the scale they have charged me for the food by itself PLUSthe plate weight. I would give zero stars the pros were about the servers they?re really polite and had this small and niceconversation but that?s all Be aware stay away! Read more
