Wedding Food - Best Food, Best Prices

Aug 2023 • family

WEDDING FOOD: 2 things you need to know: (1) the most affordable wedding food around, paired with (2) countless comments at our wedding that this was the best wedding food folks have ever had. Brasa's food was phenomenal and they were also a breeze to work with. They packaged up food for the bride and groom to take home with them on the wedding night. They treated us amazingly well. Would recommend 10 / 10 to ANYONE! WE LOVE BRASA!

Worst experience ever at Brasa rotisserie

Jul 2023 • couples

We had a terrible experience at Brasa Rotisserie. We were seated and one of the servers came and dropped water on the table without greetings us or asking if we would like anything else to drink. We sat for at least 30 minutes and no one came to take our order or help us. Other tables around us got service. We eventually had to walk out.

Great Restaurant for Gluten Free

Jun 2023 • family

Brasa continues to serve up delicious food at it’s hip Grand Avenue location. Great place for someone with Celiac Disease as everything on the menu except for the Mac and cheese and cornbread is gluten free. I also like how a livable wage is factored into the prices on the menu and no additional tipping is expected or required.

Terrific, distinctive food at modest prices

Apr 2023 • friends

Terrific food at modest prices. I had - at my friends suggestion, smothered chicken with red beans and rice. We shared a mac & cheese and corn bread. All were very good. We also had raspberry lemonade - also quite good (and a free refill). Service was friendly and food came out rapidly. Strongly recommend

Brasa same good food but service gone

Aug 2022 • family

Brasa has always had tasty food in St. Paul. The post-pandemic version was empty and service was sad. Watching the waiter toddle around with his pants slouched, tugging at them constantly doesn’t help slow and inattentive service delivered largely using one hand. No refills offered. The server mentioned it was a tip-free organization now, and it showed. Takeout will be our option next time, since half of the minuscule parking lot is now dedicated to it.

Very good food - except skip the candy bar

Feb 2022 • none

Came here with a friend for lunch. We had the chicken platter with rice and beans. It was very good Strongly recommended. We also had yucca and corn bread. They were pretty good. Only thing I'd suggest is the brasa candy bar. It was more than $3.00 and entirely forgettable. Otherwise food was good to very good. Service also quick and friendly.

A subpar meal and a required payment for little service

Jun 2021 • none

In the past, Brasa has been a pretty option for a meal. I was at this Brasa location on June 15 to have dinner with former co-workers. It was disappointing! The establishment has moved to a mandatory service/wellness fee in lieu of tips. While this attempt is admirable in theory, it's flawed in execution. The only service we received was someone delivery food to our table after placing an order at the counter or via a QR code scan. Why do I pay for service when there really isn't any? I believe people tend to want to provide good to great service when they know they'll be rewarded with a good to great tip. Such mandatory fees take away the incentive. As for the food, I ordered the rotisserie chicken. Portion was small and dried out. And, there are no local craft beers to had at all. I don't recommend this place and won't be going back.

Great takeout options!

Jan 2021 • none

We called in a takeout order and it was filled quickly. We ordered 1/2chicken,1/2 pound pork and two corn muffins. Meats were moist and delicious, muffins tender. Not cheap though, $43 total. Note that an 18% wellness charge is added.

Intimate wedding take-out dinner during Covid-19

May 2020 • none

Due to Covid-19, we had to downscale our daughter's wedding from 130 guests to 10. Although we were initially disappointed that the wedding wasn't going to be all that had been originally planned, the smaller affair was intimate and magical! We ordered take-out from Brasa in St. Paul for our wedding dinner. Everything was delicious!! Our guests' favorites were the chicken with gravy, pulled pork and creamed spinach. Sitting around just one large table, seated for 10 with the bride and groom, enjoying a delicious meal, was just a perfect way to all come together to celebrate a special occasion.

Good, not great.

Aug 2019 • couples

Lots of meats to enjoy with good sides. Many folks think their food is great - I disagree. It is good. Nothing is great. We had a long wait but, we did go during peak hours.

Always passed this place by. Not anymore

Jul 2019 • none

My fanily was out with friends who suggested we eat dinner here. We were reluctant as it didn't sound like our type of place. We couldn't have been more wrong. The servers were friendly and welcoming, the floor plan was open and had a patio (although it was too warm the day we were there). We tried the pulled pork and pulled chicken sandwiches.....outstanding. Very tasty, especially with the hot sauce recommended by our server. We will make a point of returning when we are again in the area.

Yum

Oct 2019 • none

There was 10 of us so we ordered 2 platters of meat and numerous sides to share. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and fast. We had a large round table with plenty of elbow room and the food was placed on a giant lazy Susan which made sharing easy.Yum was the word of the day, we were like lions at a kill. The food was an explosion of tasty flavors and we decided right there Brasa will be our meeting spot.

Great food and venue.

Sep 2019 • none

The food here is always good - the cilantro sauce is da bomb. The trick with a family to save a few bucks is to buy the meat and sides for the group and just split them up.
