| - This restaurant defies the theory, "you get what you pay for..." Prices at Pamapas are comparable to other Brazilian churrascaria's. To our disappointment, they didn't come close to the competition. Pampas lacks in the areas of cleanliness, service, food, and atmosphere. I would compare it to a buffet that primarily focus on serving proteins. Don't get me wrong, they do have a decent salad bar. But the experience and value that you receive in return for the price you pay is just poor.
This is the only churrascaria (to my knowledge) that has both surf and turf option. However, if you choose to go opt for the meat only. The seafood here consisted of salmon, scallops, shrimp, and a fish that I can't recall. None were impressive and the unnamed fish was terrible.
The highlight of our mean was the Picanha. This is the "C" shaped meat that Brazilian churrascaria's are known for. Then again, if you can't get this right... then you don't deserve to call yourself a Brazilian steakhouse.
The service here is average at best. Expect your table to pile up with plates you haven't finished. The servers don't exchange and clean off plates / tables often so you'll be showing off the carnage of items you didn't finish to other patrons.
So would I ever return? Only if every other Brazilian churrascaria goes out of business and shuts down. In a city that is overwhelmed with AYCE buffets and Brazilian steakhouse options, you would be better off spending your money and time elsewhere.
