After launching in Brazil in 1979, Fogo De Chão eventually expanded to the United States in 1997, debuting in Boston in 2012 with a big, beautiful Copley Square location. For the full experience (servers with endless skewers of meat), which includes the market table (an elaborate salad bar) and feijoada (a beef, pork, and bean stew), you'll pay $36.96 or $39.95 at lunch (weekday vs. weekend) or $51.95 at dinner. (There are lower prices for children.)

A wide range of meats will make appearances as the servers come by — top sirloin, ribeye, beef ribs, lamb, pork sausage, and more. But those with smaller appetites can opt for just the market table and feijoada, skipping the all-you-can-eat meat parade.

This no-frills East Somerville restaurant is primarily a takeout spot, featuring an inexpensive pay-by-weight buffet with the meats sliced to order off the grill. The selection varies, but you're likely to find various cuts of beef and chicken, sausage, and other meats. There's also salad, sides, and dessert. There's a bit of seating if you want to stay to eat.

The main experience at Midwest Grill, which opened in Inman Square in 1993, is the rodízio option, where servers circulate throughout the restaurant with skewers of meat, carving whatever you'd like onto your plate. The price also includes access to a salad station and hot buffet. The skewers include pork loin, kielbasa, chicken hearts, lamb, and more. Prices range from $14.95 for weekday lunch to $24.95 for weekend dinner, with lower prices for children. Diners have a card at the table that is green on one side and red on the other; keep the green side up if you want servers to keep bringing you meat.

For customers who don't want the rodízio experience, there are several seafood entrees available, or there's the option to just get food from the salad bar and hot buffet.

Midwest's bar is a lively spot to watch sports, especially soccer. There's also a location in Saugus.

Located a bit outside of Union Square in Somerville, Oliveira's offers two Brazilian barbecue options: a pay-by-weight buffet or rodízio service with servers coming by to slice meats off skewers. The latter includes food from the buffet as well.

Head to the bar to watch soccer, UFC, and other sports.

This pay-by-weight Waltham Brazilian buffet has been open since 2000. It features a wide range of sides and meats, and there are specials for each day of the week — on Tuesday, for example, there are beef ribs and fried chicken, while Friday is fish stew day. There are also a lot of desserts, including brigadeiro cake and passionfruit mousse.
