Spettus Brazilian Steakhouse — Restaurant in Quincy

Salad bar was pretty good. Had a lot of the traditional Brazilian options. I don't know what some of the options are called, but the few I tried were excellent. They did not have any labels identifying the items, which would be helpful. Most of it is self explanatory, I don't need a label to tell me that I'm looking at hard boils eggs, but a few of the options are not as straight forward.

I tried most of the beef (top sirloin, garlic steak, brisket, Picanha, tri-tip sirloin) and the chicken thighs. Most meats are available in a variety of doneness and the meat man will usually ask you how you prefer it. The Picanha was only available well done, which was unfortunate. The garlic steak was also not available rare or medium rare. Both meats still tasted good, I would just prefer them a little more rare than what was available at the time. The chicken thighs were dry, wasn't a fan of it.

The decor, seating, lighting, were all nice and appropriate/expected for the price point. Pay by the pound ($8.75 per pound) all you can eat ($25). The picture posted was about 1.5 pounds and cost 14ish from what I remember.

Service was good. Everyone was nice and fairly attentive. Our server checked on the table a few times, was polite anf friendly. The guy cutting meat was really accommodating and had plenty of patience answering all my questions about the meats. It is important to note that I went at 8pm (they close at 9) so it was a very slow night. There were maybe 2 other tables seated during my time there. Service could take a hit if it was significantly busier but I assume they'd have more staff so it would equal out.

Looking forward to going back soon....

Went with a group of 4. The place had 7 tables filled out around 20. Table 1 was empty, table 2 had 6, table 3 had 3, table 5 had 2, the 4 of us were seated at table 7.

The waiter would bring meats out and start at table 1. Between table 1, 3 and 5, everything was taken. The waiter would bring more and continue to start at table 1. Table 1, 3 and 5 would consume the best of what was brought out. Rinse and repeat.

We asked for something specific, chicken livers, to brought to us. 10 minutes go by and we see the waiter bring them out....to table 1. They take some and table 2 takes the rest.

I asked why they kept going in this order and they said they didn't.

The waiter started at table 20 this time but as you guessed, the outcome for the middle tables was the same.

The meats we did get were very rare and had no flavor.

There are better Brazilian steakhouses to visit. I'm this one...

Food was good and fairly priced. The only issue is the service. They served us alcoholic drinks immediately but no water. We asked them 2 times and were almost done with our food before they finally brought over the water. We also brought a cake and they also gave us spoons, no plates. We didn't bother to ask for plates. We just went up to the buffet and got the plates ourselves. I'm not sure if it's because we are a group of 11, so tip is guaranteed or something but it feels like we had to beg for basic stuff for the table. Next time, I'll probably only come for takeout.

Update: we recently revisited again and this time the service was great. I think they definitely made effort to improve service and it shows. The drinks/water were brought over promptly, the waitress checked in frequently and we felt taken care of. Food is...
