Reviews for Brasa Premium Rotisserie- Southwest Minneapolis in Minneapolis, MN

First I want to state how wonderful Alex Roberts establishments typically are. Restaurant Alma is a blessing in Twin Cities... culinary scene. Also, kudos to him and his wife for supporting fair wages. Their menu states, "Tipping is not expected atBrasa. Menu prices support premium ingredient sourcing, $16?25/hr wages, paid time off, health/dental/vision insurance forfull-time staff and 401k with 4% company match." I like that so my bill is not a surprise to see 20% added at end as at otherrestaurants. Upfront is best! I preface by saying it has been at least a year since I was last at Brasa. I went for theirnice happy hour, as you can't get tacos on regular menu and you can't beat the price! But server could have been more attentiveby coming back to tell us happy hour is about to end, would you like more tacos/drinks?! I would have ordered more! I addedextra tip anyway as I know how difficult the restaurant scene is currently. Since I did not get my fill during happy hour, Iordered a 2pc chicken plate to go. I was going to eat later and thus, did not look at it prior to getting home. My fault. Seethe picture. You can see the size of one piece is same size as tines on my plastic fork! They cut one piece of breast meatinto 2 pieces. The side I got was collard greens. The paltry amount of food did not match paying $14 for this "plate." Thiscertainly did not match the other reviewers' pictures as others got drumstick plus breast w wing plus sides. Disappointed. Read more

It?s the southern cookin? food for sure. Chicken wasn?t fried though and wasn?t greasy. ???????? We?d recommend the pulled pork... as far as best flavor (if you can handle a little fat being boxed in)!! Flavors were really good, but I didn?t feel superhealthy with my choices, so if you?re a health nut, beware. Coolest part is that this is a no tip restaurant! They mention onthe menu that fair wages and solid employee benefits are provided to employees, so the tip is included with the menu prices!Cool idea. Read more

I love the food her. The atmosphere is great. There are many seating options inside and outside. There is a parking lot in the... back of the restaurant. The food is great to mix and match. Everything I have had here is so good. This is also a good option ifyou are with a larger group because you have the option to order larger portions. I have found that the kids size is the perfectamount of food! Read more

I had the vegan bowl, the vegetable chickpea curry, and it was amazing. I just finished my leftovers, and it was still so good a... day later that I had to write this review. The curry isn?t really spicy, which is perfect for me, but it?s still packed withflavor. I also appreciate that the restaurant doesn?t do tipping and just pays the staff a higher hourly wage. I just wish Ilived closer so I could go back sooner. Read more

I had never heard of this place until we pulled up along side it. Definitely a casual dining experience with the openish kitchen... and choose your own seating. Simple menu. We got a fried fish bowl with grits and greens, a pork bowl with rice and spinach, aromaine salad to share and 2 glasses of wine. The meal cost under $60 and we got our food quickly. Everything we had wasdelicious, the service was good and prompt and the staff was friendly. Will definitely be back! Read more

Absolutely love this place!!! The food here is amazing! I love their pulled chicken w/ red beans and rice and my husband loves... the quartered chicken w/ red beans and rice. He also orders the cheese grits for us to share - as southern transplants in theTwin Cities, we were beyond happy to find a restaurant that can make grits and Brasa makes them deliciously!!!!

You know, this was alright, not terrible but not stellar. The chicken bowl was jambalaya like, but the rice wasn?t cooked in it.... So maybe more gumbo? Regardless, it was something in-between and I felt it lacked an identity. The rice was really dry, it hadspice but tbh, nothing beats steamed white rice. The most dominate flavor was the sausage. If you weren?t looking for thechicken, you wouldn?t even know it was there. The pork bowl was similar in the sense that the rice was desert like and thedominate flavor was Wilbur and not much else. The egg was definitely needed to add some moisture. The baked mac?n cheese wassolid. Creamy, cheesy, and the crumble on top added texture. It was a little runnier than I prefer but it was better than thebowls. A little side gripe, I hate small drinking cups and especially if you are like me and drink like a parched elephant,you?ll be making frequent trips to the water station. Tangent, the server didn?t do much, brought water, utensils, and menus.That was it, no check ups, and you order on your phone. What warrants a tip now-a-days? I know it?s deeply engrained intomurica culture and I tip well, but I just thought it was interesting to see places go more ?self-serve? and wonder if tipssuffer due to lack of presence at a servers assigned table? Keeping it a buck, I?d go again and try some other items on themenu. Read more

I must say this place was delicious!! I had the fish and grits. oh my !! So good full of flavor!! Wish it was a tad hotter but I... finished it all!! Also he?d yuca fries. Good too!! I will be back. Food was great. Bathrooms were not so great and therestaurant was loud because it was a open kitchen. I didn?t mind. Read more
