green forest churrascaria

good food but pricey. went here with three other people and although the price was on the high side (just shy of $200) for all of us together it was good food. the only problem with it is that if you like your meat well done or don't like any pink in the meat, this place isn't for you. although the cook altered some meats for someone with us who likes their meat well done, most were medium-rare (with the exception of turkey, chicken and pork of course). over all, i would definitely go back again. the cold food buffet was really good and is actually sitting straight on ice, but we didn't try the hot buffet items.

much better that the palms. title says it all.

they also have lots of food at golden corral. listen to reviewers that have been to this type of restaurant in other cities. this one is dirty and needs updating. the salad bar is ok but some of the meat in my meal may have been past its expiry date. the signature churrascaria cut does not taste like it does elsewhere. if you get the chance: boi na brasa in dallas.

great. food was great...staff was great...experience was great...expensive but worth it

love. yes, it's pricey, but it's worth it(not as pricey as the other about $60,against $42,) this is as close to brazilian food you get without actually being there... if not the exact thing. having been to other churrascarias here in us and brazil, the only diference is green forest doesn't have the same upscale decor them others churrascarias , but the food is better and have more options, they have more diferent meat and much more sea food in the salad and hot bar.

like it but with a catch. my overall experince with green forrest was mixed. like a previous reviewer i had been to a similar brazillan steakhouse in houston, tx and it was a mind blowing experience. i don't think i have eaten so well. the meat was amazing, the cold bar was amazing, the service was amazing, the sides on the table same.

again like the previous reviewer when i got back to pittsburgh sought out out green forrest. i knew it was there but it never sparked my interest until then. all in all the food was pretty good, the cold bar was ok, the hotbar was ok and the sides on the table again were ok. all in all the expereince was just ok. now my friend who had never heard of such a place was euphoric much the same i was at the place in houston.

in summary, there are much much better examples of brazillan steakhouses out there, just not in pittsburgh. green forrest is not even in the same galaxy as some, but all things being equal it's not too bad. i'm not sure it's worth $40, but i would pay $30 and not feel too bad about it.

amazed at some of the reviews. after reading the reviews for this restaurant, i can't believe some people wrote about being served meat that was too rare. i've dined here many times, and the staff is so willing to cook to your liking, all you have to do is ask them! the price is well worth it, i've paid more for a steak dinner elsewhere, and recently they added a deal where you can have just the salad bar items for $20, which is great because one of my daughters is a vegan. and as to those who criticized the decor? no, maybe it's not fancy, but it is tasteful, clean and welcoming. it's kind of nice not to have to don a little black dress to get a quality meal! i do agree with everyone who said "go hungry"! this is one of my favorite places in pittsburgh, my whole family gets to chose what they like (and believe me, my family is very picky). oh, and by the way, the staff is so nice, they will not rush you out the door...so if you wait a few minutes before your reservation is ready, relax! it's that kind of place! i've never waited more than 10 minutes. go..enjoy...you will not be disappointed.

not good!. after visiting a restaurant of this type in atlanta and loving it, thought we would give this one a try. not good, this place is very tired, from the decor to the service. the cold bar was average at best, and as for the star the meat it was just okay as well. some were good others not so much due under cooking. rare is one thing raw is another. not worth the price for us, much better choices around for less. 1-10 this one gets a 4.

not good. the food isn't great, the meat is very salty and most of it is way to rare to serve. the cheese they served must have sat there the whole night because it was hard on the outside. same with the bread, it was stale. i didn't enjoy my meal and i was freezing the whole time. it's outdated with the decor and they don't have many options for cocktails. in general this place out of date or maybe they are just out of ideas. the meat runners are seen goofing off and pretending to trip each other which i think is unsafe considering that they are walking around this restaurant with knives. the woman at the door looked so miserable the whole time i was there. i assume she is one of the owners because she came around to every table. she was also talking to herself in portuguese so i can only imagine what she was thinking. and the real kicker about her was that i heard her ask a waitress if one of the guests at her table was a retard because he was asking questions about the food because he had concerns. this man was clearly autistic and his table didn't even stay to eat. i won't be back to this restaurant because i wouldn't want to support someone so disrespectful.

the food is absolutely amazing, very flavorful with a wide variety of side dishes and seafood in addition to the meat. the staff and owner are also extremely attentive and friendly. i highly recommend this place if you are looking for a great dining experience.

excellent food. the meats are prepared medium to medium rare in most instances which is perfect. good house sangria. good house desserts. good house seafood bar. the staff is very attentive and the beers are very reasonable priced. proven winner time and time again even if the decor isn't appealing to the younger crowds. the food speaks for itself. highly recommend the filet and mushroom sauce and fresh tuna. we come back every year and you can usually find a coupon in many publications. highly recommend and do not go to a chain for the love of all that is holy.

overpriced. the food was ok, we were in similar restaurant 2 years ago in atlanta. .restaurant was not cozy, it was cold there and dark and restrooms were not clean , no toilet paper.

this is a carnivore's heaven! so much meat and all so tender and mouth watering. yes, it's $40. and, yes, it's worth every penny.

green means go!. the green forest brazilian restaurant is a great special occasion choice. it is an all you can eat style with a variety of fabulous food. i believe they have over 16 or 17 meat selections alone. they have disks marked green and red to alert your servers to stop or go with the meat offerings. they also have a hot and cold buffet, which is an expansive area in addition to the meats served table side. our gang referred to the service as "swords of meat".

the cold bar consists of many salads shrimp cocktail, oysters on the half shell, sushi and sashimi. the portabella salad was delicious as well as the grilled asparagus.

on the hot buffet they have lobster mashed potatoes and paella.

for dessert we enjoyed the coconut flan and passion fruit mousse (when tried together was the perfect combination of sweet & tart) which were both good. there were many other options too. please be aware that desserts may not be included in your special, so please check. they also have a well stocked bar. if you have a big appetite especially for meat, this is the certainly the place to go.

check out their website for specials. i have also seen groupon specials from time to time too. on tuesdays and thursdays they have an early bird special from 4 - 6 pm: $37 instead of $42.50.

service was attentive and pleasant. also be aware that this restaurant is not visible from the main road (rodi rd), but it sits up in an office complex, conveniently located right off the parkway east, penn hills exit.

everything was delicious! so many choices ahh i wish i was there now! price
for my girlfriend and i with desert was a little over 100
