| - Visited the place during their 2-1 promo which sounded like a good deal. We were a group of 6 and had made resos. They seated us at the far end of the restaurant right by the wall in a corner. The table looked small for 6 people, looked more like it was for 4. The tables around us were so close to us that we had a hard time moving back and forth to the salad bar, it was like a maze walking around all the chairs and tables around us.
Service was weird. We walked in to the restaurant and the guy at the desk was occupied, which I understand, but he just ignored us for a solid few minutes until he finished. Uh, a hello would have been nice to know that we aren't invisible.
We sat at our table and they came by to ask if it was our first time, which it was. We were all hungry so we had our little paper things to indicate that we wanted meat but no one came by our table for a good 15 minutes until I got impatient and asked to be served. Once I complained, they basically sent everyone our way. I don't know if we were being ignored because they thought we were not ready yet or if because we were tucked away in a corner, but the servers with the meat blatantly walked past our table numerous times until I got up to complain. Was not ideal. If you have a big group, I would specifically request not to be seated in the far corner against the wall, cramped between the other two big tables.
The salad bar was nothing special. I tried most of the dishes and my favourites were the garlic rice and the beet salad. Was hoping to see more flavourful dishes as sides, but I guess a salad bar is a salad bar and you can't expect much.
It would be nice if they had all the meats they served on a list somewhere on the table. I had no idea what they had and were serving, and wasn't sure what I wanted to try because I could only compare once the meats were out. I just tried one of everything.
The meats seemed a little too tough - not sure if it was the quality of the meat or if they were over cooked. Some meats were way too salty and some just didn't have much flavour to it. My favourite was the chicken with the bacon which I had multiple servings of.
Overall, it was a lot of food for a really good deal but I'm not sure how the place is going to stick around on regular price. I have visited Bolero and Gaucho before and remember Bolero being good but I got too cheap to fork out 50$ for it and Gaucho which I thought had great sides and really flavourful meats, but how often can one go for an all you can eat Brazilian BBQ.. I'd have to try other places again to compare to more recent experiences, but I can't imagine going back to visit Pampa any time soon unless they have some kind of amazing promotion again.
