What&#8217;s a Brazilian style steak house?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Traditionally, servers come to your table with a variety of grilled meats on a skewer, and after ascertaining your interest, slice you off a piece.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Most often the meats are quality \u00a0cuts of beef, pork, chicken, and sausage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">And this can go on for as long until you want, or until you \u00a0fall into a &#8220;meat coma&#8221; with a smile on your face.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This whole meat fest takes place after trips (as many as you like)\u00a0to an upmarket salad bar, with a variety of salads, including\u00a0build your own components, as well as cheese, deli meats, soups\u00a0and more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The star of the show, meat wise, is a favorite cut of Brazilians,\u00a0but rarely touted in the US &#8211; a cut of sirloin called Picanha.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Other cuts include filet mignon, bacon wrapped chicken, Portuguese\u00a0sausage (a personal favorite).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">You may have heard about other restaurants like this, there are a couple\u00a0of small chains in the US, but even as a stand-alone mom and pop<br \/>\noperation, Brazil Express puts the big guys to shame, for a couple\u00a0of reasons: 1) my experience at the bigger places has been that it<br \/>\nwas difficult to get your meat selections prepared to your preferred\u00a0&#8216;doneness&#8217; level.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Not so at Brazil Express, they explicity ask you\u00a0what your preference is when seated, and the meat skewers that\u00a0are presented to you by servers are done to your preference. 2)\u00a0As much as I like being served food the way I prefer it, I also\u00a0prefer a great value, and a guest check at Brazil Express is going to\u00a0clock in at a good 33 &#8211; 40% less than the chains, depending upon\u00a0the time of day and day of the week. SWEET.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Should you have a hankering for Brazil style roasted meats, but no\u00a0time to dawdle, Brazil Express has a very reasonable &#8220;per pound&#8221;\u00a0take out price.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The restaurant is located in a strip mall on Roselle Road in Schaumburg,\u00a0near a Jewel\/Osco, south of Schaumburg Road, and just north of Wise<br \/>\nRoad, about a half mile north of IL Rte 390 Tollway.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">If the idea of perfectly prepared quality beef in endless quantities\u00a0appeals to you, be sure to check out Brazil Expres Grill in suburban\u00a0Chicago. \u00a0You&#8217;ll never go wrong supporting a locally owned and operated business. \u00a0(These are not my photos, but from the restaurant&#8217;s website, an unusual move for me, but I was too busy EATING!)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brazilexpressgrill.com\/prices-hours-specials\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hours and Prices<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brazilexpressgrill.com\/menu-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Menu<\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16871\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16871\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/brazil4.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-16871\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-16871\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/brazil4-400x266.jpg\" alt=\"Brazil Express Grill Review\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16871\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Server with skewer of deliciousness!<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16868\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16868\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/brazil.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-16868\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-16868\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/brazil-400x175.jpg\" alt=\"Brazil Express Grill Review\" width=\"400\" height=\"175\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16868\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>A bountiful salad bar awaits!<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a title=\"View Menu, Reviews, Photos &amp; Information about Brazil Express Churrasco Grill, Schaumburg and other Restaurants in Chicago\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zomato.com\/chicago\/brazil-express-churrasco-grill-schaumburg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none; width: 200px; height: 146px; padding: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zomato.com\/logo\/16755812\/biglink\" alt=\"Brazil Express Churrasco Grill Menu, Reviews, Photos, Location and Info - Zomato\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nBrazil Express Grill Review<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brazil Express Grill is a locally owned churrascaria (Brazilian style steak house).
