When people in the United States think of Brazilian dining, they likely picture churrascarias, where servers dressed like gauchos pile plates high with meat, meat, and more meat. Giraffas Brazilian Grill is a little different.

World music and a fun ambiance fill the fast-casual setting that still serves numerous all-natural cuts of juicy beef and pork picanha, NY strip, sirloin, chicken breast, and seafood, but meals are ordered at the counter and then cooked to order.

Diners can opt to start with pao de quejios, a popular Brazilian cheese bread, among other appetizers, and every entree is matched with flavorful sides and sauces including chimichurri and garlic butter. Burgers crowned with fried eggs can be found here, as well. Diners sip on alcoholic drinks such as the Giraffas cocktail, a local take on the traditional Brazilian caipirinha, red and white wines, Prosecco, and a variety of domestic and imported beers, while meals can end with a choice of indulgent desserts, including a dulce de leche cheesecake.
