If you wanted to go to a Churrascaria, but don't want to spend so much if you went into the city, there is Green Field, which for about half the price of its competitors in Manhattan would can have good food at great prices.
When I went to Corona, its a big place you can't miss it. The staff was great, the salad bar was good, and the meat; as it always should be is excellent.
Steak, chicken, pork marching towards you on that staff.
Plus good desserts, for about 30 bucks.
You want a Brazilian steakhouse for a great price, go to Green Field. -

If it's edible, they will grill it. Everytime I go, Green Field never disappoints me.
The steak is grilled to perfection, especially the juicy and tender sirloin steak. The cheesy bread (pan de queso) is amazing and the condiments at the buffet are fresh. I recommend the oxtail stew, fried cassava, garlic chicken, and Greek rice.
Continuing with the meats, I also recommend the salmon and the chicken as well.
Make sure you try the Brazilian sugar rum margarita, it's puro and potent, will leave you feeling nice. The deserts are amazing, especially the strawberry cheesecake. Also the grilled pineapple seemed weird at first, but turned out to be an interesting blend of sweet and saltiness which ignites your taste buds.
It's a huge place with the heads of animals hanging off the wall and a waterfall . Ideal place for special occasions and judging by the pictures, i'm pretty sure the Brazilian national soccer team dines there when in town.
Did I mention the hostess is usually a fly Brazilian, Colombian, or Dominican girl? Just some food for thought -

I went to Green Field around a year ago and it gave me the impression that the Quality of what they serve must be at the bottom of their priority list.
I'll give two stars because I can see that for diners who mostly care about quantity this place might be good.. But their food alone would deserve 1.5. Not crap, but not good at all. -

Feeling carnivorous? Did you wake up with hair on your chest and the need to walk on your knuckles this morning? After pounding your chest, sharpen your canines, club your woman over the head and drag her by the hair to Green Fields!
After your lady regains consciousness she'll step to the salad bar with plethora of greens and other things chicks eat. Us men don't waste stomach space on grass, unga. We take the indicator and flip it to the green side for go and on comes the proteins! I'm there mainly for the prime rib, lamb, sirloin, pork, sausage and definitely the skirt steak. The poultries are usually too dry and rabbit's extremely gamey so I stay away from those.
Three years ago I would've said this place was worth it but now, it seems a bit too steep. -

Meat baby!
My buddy is in from out of town and is a big time meat guy. He suggested this place since he Googled meat palaces before he came to NY and although I'm trying to be healthier these days,we went anyway.
Brazilian BBQ - well it is basically a meat Disneyland. They just keep brining the arterial clogging goodies until you give in and turn the wood block over to the red side. Nuff said.
To me though, the meat all seemed salty and of not much variety - I would have liked to see some chicken or other less red-meat options. There is a salad bar with plenty of options for some veggies etc. I was a bit perplexed about the deli meats though- why bother when they are bringing skewers of the real thing right to your table. Some amateurs were loading up the salad plates and heading back to the table- silly people.
$27.99 for the meat madness and drinks and desert is extra unless you take some fruit from the buffet. The caipirinha's were fine.

This place is OVERRATED. If you think this is good food...then you'll like Sizzler.....I went with a friend on Sunday to Green Field. Thank goodness it was a party that we didnt pay for because I dont think it is worth anything. It is horrible food. Green Field serves the same cuts again and again. BORING. The meat is not even seasoned or marinated. If I could give zero stars I would!!!!
I dont want to criticize with no solution here so if you are craving all you can eat meat that is good with a better buffet selection including Japchae, dumplings, fried rice, chicken wings....I'm urging you to please try PICNIC GARDEN in FLUSHING, NY. In PICNIC GARDEN there is so much more variety. You would have to go to see what I mean. The meats in PICNIC GARDEN are marinated and there is all kinds of meat like gizzards, shrimp, sausage, tripe, beef short ribs, squid, pork, chicken and more. -

I'm sorry this place is so overrated. A few friends of mine told me that I should try it because I do happen to like many types of meats..i had one friend that said it wasn't good that she went years ago and didn't like it. I have to say I should have just listened to her..I did not like it at all.
One they kept bringing the same types of meat over and over. All beef and some pork chunks..most of them were tough as well and had no flavor..i didn't have any lamb, or any other type of meat..beef and pork. that was it.. The guy asked me "well what do you want because I am just going to repeat the same meats over and over. The buffet and salad bar is mediocre. Hot buffet has not so good tasting rice, sad looking french fries, instant mashed potatoes...The salad bar had some salad but were missing some of the dressings that were supposed to be there...The cold cuts looked like really horrible quality. They had many cold salads made with mayo, ie, potato, macaroni (many different types) veggie salads..
When the dessert tray came around they claimed they had strawberry shortcake..It is not strawberry shortcake at all.. It was a piece of cake with some creamy strawberry filling. The bottom of the cake was soaking wet..Yuk!!...
The only thing that was good was my drink, which was just cognac straight.
I left there hungry and very disappointed. I will never go back and I am so glad I didn't try the place with my daughter and mother the way we had planned.. -

The carnage. They come around skewers of flesh, all kinds, and they give you some on your plate. You can eat all kinds of different stuff, heart, kidney, the variety of flesh is amazing.
All you can eat is an unhealthy encouragement to over eat. When you add in eating the flesh of sentient beings, and you've got a big bowl of wrong.
You can all you can eat vegetarian, but it's not going to feel right as everyone around you gorges on the carnage. If you eat meat, this place has an unhealthy suggestion of eating all you can eat. The excesses of America. I vow to never set foot in here again. -

Came here recently for a friends birthday as do many others. The place was packed as usual on a Saturday night. The premise for this place is pretty simple. You get this small salt shaker thing with 2 colors on it. Red means you don't want more. Green means the gauchos keep on coming with the meat. They do have a buffet salad bar which supplies the green leafy goods you'll need after this protein charged feast.
I've been here multiple times and it's always been decent. With any buffet, you can't expect top tier stuff with an all you can eat model. That being said, the quality of meat is actually pretty good. I'm not a fan of all their cuts because I've had a mixed experience depending on when the waiter gets to you. The highlight for me was the turkey wrapped in bacon. I usually shy away from white meat, but this piece was tender, juicy, and full of smoky goodness. The flavor is so pronounced that it can fill you up. I think I was begging for dessert after a few of those bad boys.
All in all... service is always decent. Food is above par for buffets and it's always a place to bring the guys and wreak some havoc.

I've been to many Churrascarias and this one truly stinks. I went there a fews weeks ago on a Sunday. The meats have no flavor, the chicken sucked, rabbit was very gamey and even the bacon wrapped turkey wasn't all that. I sampled a few things from the salad bar such as the Lengua stew. Not very good at all.
I would recommend a different churrascaria. When will they open a Texas de Brazil in NY?!! -

We came here on Valentine's Day for lunch. Lunch is supposed to be cheaper than dinner, but not on a "holiday." We paid $71 for lunch for two, which is really, really expensive. BUT, we ate like kings. This is a good place to go for a celebration. I like that you don't have to order or commit to one dish. They bring a constant parade of meat to your table and you say yes or no.
There were only about 5 tables occupied at noon. There were two waiters. One was super nice, smiled a lot and acted friendly. The other was grumpy and looked like he was about to go off at any minute.
Overall this was a positive experience. I took off 1/2 star because they overcharged us just because they could and another 1/2 for the scowling waiter. -

I think somewhere over the meaty rainbow, there's better places for all-you-can-eat Brazilian steak house.
When my guy friends kept telling me about the amazingness of their favorite Brazilian steak house, my standards were pretty high. They told me fantasies of having turkey rapped in bacon or any type of meat you can think of cut to perfection and men continually bringing you meat all based on a green painted salt and pepper shaker looking indicator; the red means I'm gonna explode if I eat another morsel.
We were a party of six and seated right away. We were told to help ourselves to the included buffet spread as our drinks were being prepared. The buffet wasn't really worth going up more than once for. The spare ribs were delicious and the "buffalo" chicken. The chicken was far from spicy, but tasty overall with dry rub herbs; I can tell.
The meat that was brought to the table were arranged on a sword (I'm dead serious) that acted like a skewer. Skirt steak, rabbit, duck, beef, chicken, filet mignon, and more were brought out and I fell into a meat coma. If I were a vegan, I think I'd die. The meats were glorious to look at, but the taste for most came to me as a half bloodied, half cooked mess that I felt ashamed to waste. Some things weren't just my thing, like the rabbit; nice to say at least I tried it.
Overall, I really can't fathom as to what the wet dreams were about; I wouldn't exactly say I'd run back and especially driving to get there isn't the most straight forward drive you'll ever have. -

Been here about half a dozen times. Meat at times can be very bland and over cooked. The cold and hot buffet is cheap crap and not worth the time. They have valet parking but if the lot gets full they park you on the street.
And no chimichurri on the table or anywhere else in this place. -

I went on a blind date.
My date wanted to take me to this place. I had no idea what greenfield was or what it meant to go here. So when we met up here and walked into the grand dining area I was half expecting to be blown away because it just felt like it would be a good place...
and the joint was PACKED. that had to mean something right?
when we were seated, they took our drink orders and showed us the green and red side of the little thing-a-ma-bob. And then my date brought me to the salad bar.
OMG. A Buffet. On a FIRST DATE??
FML.
One, i was nervous. and Two, buffets on a first date are too awkward.
I didnt love anything being offered. It was all "meh" at best. then the meats came around.
Dry roast beef. Bland steaks. DRY chicken.
Good sausages. and Decent skirt steaks.
the amount of food eaten here is ridicuous. My friends husband is a pro wrestler and comes here to gorge after he works out... but its a dream to anyone on the atkins diet. meat coming around and being served to you.
I know for me, if im going to pay $30 for dinner, i would like quality vs quantity.
And the date was horrendous. -

Has anybody figured out the algorithm used to calculate which days the rabbit, duck, bison, quail, lamb, and other exotic meats are served?
I don't visit Green Field very often, but when I do, I want me some exotic meat. Oh yeah, and the skirt steak. And the prime rib. And the tenderloin. And the chorizo. Okay okay I'll just leave the little salt shaker thing on Green. Bring it on!
Yeah, the salad bar is just kinda there... the only mention-worthy dishes there are the oxtail stew and *maybe* the paella.
Skip dessert and pass on the alcohol. They aren't included in the ACYE price.Listed in: For the Fatties in All of Us

Here's how it works: you get a double sided peg, one side is green and the other is red. If you have the green side up, the meat will keep coming. When you've had your fill, you flip it over and have the red side up.
I would take only my die hard meat loving friends here. Those who are willing to pay extra for meat you won't usually find at every restaurant. I tried the rabbit and it was juicy. I wish I could describe it better but I was overwhelmed with guilt after eating rabbit meat because my housemates and I had a pet rabbit back in college (it's with one of them now). Anyway, I think my brain blocked out my memory of its taste.
The flank steaks were very moist. Unfortunately, I could not taste all the meat that was presented to my table. I was so full. There was so much meat.
The only thing that disappointed me was the salad bar/buffet section. I felt that the options were limited and that the quality of the dishes they had did not match the price they charged per plate. I did not want to eat JUST meat.
Nevertheless, the service was good. Our server was very attentive and apologized when the dessert cart took a while to get to our table.
I ate here with my family a little more than a week ago for my uncle's birthday and left very satisfied. More importantly, my uncle was happy. A more accurate rating from me would've been 3.5 stars. -

Tried this place last night. The food was just ok and the fact that the ac wasn't working properly made it hard to rate any higher. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The meats.... Well I didn't see a big selection sirloin , pork , skirt steak , chicken and one other that never came to our table. This place is way over priced in my view. The best was the chicken and the skirt steak as for the salad bar that was good considering all I had was the veggies. Try this place for yourself but ask if the ac is working before you sit down .

All you can eat steak gets five stars. The meat is pretty decent and I LOVE THE SKIRT STEAK. Thats what you want.
I took a star off because the salad bar option is kinda wack. They try though, there are some sushi rolls (I think thats what they were...I tried a california roll, hey you tried...), there was soup, pasta salad, regular salad, etc. Nothing you won't find at ruby tuesdays' salad bar.
Now back to the meat, if you want some steak, chicken, and some other meats, this is a good place to go and just eat.
The other star I took off is because the website pricing is not accurate and I was charged more than what was advertised. I don't mine paying if you tell me what it costs but when you pull the ole switchero, its not a good look.
The inside of the place looks decent and has a waterfall near the window. The people come around with different meats. A bunch of different ones so leave that green light on, even if you think you dont want anything else because chances are, you might want to at least sample some of the meat you havent seen yet. I say you get a group of hungry people together and you go get you some all you can eat steak!Listed in: My Neighborhood

Food - The meats and buffet dishes here are very similar to what they served at Master Grills (Closed). The meats here are cooked pretty well. They got everything from ribs, sausages, chicken, chicken hearts, steak, lamb, and more. The quality of the meats here I can't complain. It's the buffet dishes that kinda suck here. the only decent thing is the ox tails. The rest is pasta, salad, french fries, mash potatoes, and some more common dishes you would find in a buffet.
Drink - Soda, wine, beer, coffee, tea, and water. I'd say stick with water or hot tea. The greasiness of some of the food here needs to be washed down with something hot. Think of you hot beverage as Drano!
Service - The servers move around the restaurant with the meats often so no worries here. They also go around with a dessert cart if I remember correctly.
Crowd/Ambiance - I don't think I ever seen a full house in here or any type of wait line. The place is clean and well organized. The only issue I have here is their price. It's a bit of a rip off. But they do have valet parking service which is a plus in my book.
Verdict - I'd say skip it or come here just once every few years. It's not a place you wanna spend your money on often.Listed in: Instant Ittis!

Call a cardiologist. This place will give you a heart attack if you come hungry. And you better be hungry with the all you can eat meat and salad bar.
The meat is tasty, fresh and not over done with seasoning. Salad bar had a nice selection. The skirt stake and roast beef were our favorites.
We skipped dessert. It didn't look that great and we had some freshly made bread pudding at home. -

I've been here three times -- once for an early dinner, once for a late dinner, and once for an extremely drunken Thanksgiving...
The meat selection is incredible -- beef (sirloin, tenderloin, skirt, flank, rib eye) , pork, lamb, duck, rabbit, chicken, turkey, sausage, salmon -- if you want something done rare just ask, if you want something done well just ask, the waiter will go back to the kitchen and bring out something especially for you -- and the quality of everything is always pretty good, but one small complaint is that the turkey was more than a little dry...
They have, for some reason, sushi rolls (made fresh to order), and big wheels of parmasean cheese, and a bunch of soups (I had an extremely delicious oxtail soup two different times that honestly I would come back again just for this dish alone), and then there's the salad bar / buffet -- there's a huge variety of stuff but I wouldn't say any of it is particularly interesting, there's twenty types of fried potatoes and ten types of rice, but really I think they're lacking in vegetables -- nothing is particularly fresh, I usually just get a plate of tomatoes and beets and hearts of palm, concentrating instead on the meat, leaving more room for the good stuff -- there's a dessert cart, but honestly I've never had enough appetite remaining to ever even actually consider it...
The service is nice and incredibly attentive, the wine list is limited but affordable, the space is huge and clean, the clientele can be a bit obnoxious at times as many people oftentimes come with multiple children who always seem to be either screaming or crying, but the price is just right -- I'll definitely be back at some point, it's a great place to go with friends and stuff yourself while getting drunk, and it's thankfully extremely easy to escape from the worries of the outside world and just let go. -

This is gluttony, pure and simple. Stop eating about two days before you come here, or you will explode. It's a typical Brazilian churrascaria, with all the trimmings. For about $25 a person, you have an all you can eat salad bar which is way more than salad, a hot bar, and during dinner, crab legs and what have you to boot. But that's only the beginning! Then you can flip a thingy on your table and they start bringing you meat. Lots of it. The best is the skirt steak. There's also chicken hearts, quails, rabbit, and so on. What I really like about this place rather than other similar establishments is that they listen to you. You can ask for quail, and in 15 minutes, there will be a lovely roasted small animal on your plate. Yum.
Definitely not vegetarian friendly. Add drinks and dessert (if for some amazing reason you actually have room for it, which is a rarity indeed!) and it can get a little pricey, but great for groups (everyone can find something) and semi-special occasions.Listed in: Big Meat!

My family and I visited this spot in June. After being spoiled by Clinton's (sorry Hell's Kitchen, Midtown West residents) Churrascaria Plataforma, I can't give this place a good shake. The red and green signs are worthless if the staff stops coming around with more meat, assuming we were all full. Although I enjoyed some items, asking for medium or medium rare meat is like asking for the last life jacket on the Titanic. It is more cost effective, but I'd rather spend more money to rock out with my pork out in the city. I won't return.

Woo hooo! Meat and more meat! Meat wrapped in meat. How can u go wrong? Went Fathers day, it was packed, we had reservations. I had filet mignon, sausage wrapped in bacon, roast beef, pork, and ribs. I kept the thing in the green as much as possible. Valet was overwhelmed, took about 30 minutes to get the car.
Go if you can. Its an awesome concept for any carnivore. -

Green means bring on all the delicious juicy meat my way.
Red means give me time to savor the food.
I love love steak but my favoritest of them all is the skirt steak YUMMY! I was forced to try quail by my father and yes it does taste like chicken but I know it's really not chicken so let's just say I won't be eating that again.
The salad bar if you can even call it that was just ehhh. Nothing to brag about there. The service was on point I wish I could use that red and green wood thing in real life, it's awesome.

Simply put, Green Fields is a meat lover's paradise. If you've never been to this style of restaurant before, then you're in for a treat. Various servers canvas the restaurant while carrying skewers filled with meat. Or, as my friend Jim exclaimed during our recent dinner there, "They've got meat on swords! This place rules!"
Green Fields serves the 3 main types of meat -- beef, pork, & chicken -- but they will also occassionally serve fish. If you're lucky and/or daring, you'll get a chance to try an "exotic" meat such as rabbit or chicken hearts. I've had both and, I have to say, they have an interesting flavor to them. The chicken hearts have an acquired taste so chances are that it will not be something that most people will enjoy.
There are also two or three buffet stations that serve hot foods, salad, and side dishes (such as rice and onion rings). As someone else mentioned, this is not a place for vegetarians. They charge $26/person, so its not worth it if you're just going to pick at the salad bar all night. If you still have room in your stomach at the end of the meal, they also have a few dessert carts that roam the restaurant.
Overall, this is a great place to go with a group of friends. You definitely get your money's worth and I guarantee that you will leave stuffed.Listed in: Satisfaction Guaranteed

Ummm, meat fest meat fest. Sounds like a porno.
$27.95 per person for all you can eat, freshly cooked meat, served on big spikes, courtesy of the friendly and knowledgeable waitstaff. All includes a pretty decent salad bar (paella, oxtail and buffalo wings?!?!?!?! where else?) The taste of the salad bar was actually a lot better than I expected. And I do not believe I was alone because I looked around and EVERYONE was loading up on the salad bar items. The only thing that was depressing was the cocktail shrimp. They were mushy as hell.
Now on to the meat. Fave: skirt steak. Then the rabbit, roasted chicken, beef sirloin, sausage, turkey wrapped in bacon... stay away from the roast beef, it was dry and chewy.
I've been here a long time ago and finally made my revisit this past weekend. I'm glad I came back. Sorry, no more Harvest Buffet for me unless I'm craving crab legs.
Drinks are moderately priced: $5-6 glass of wine, $18 pitcher of sangria.
But be careful with the dessert cart. They all scream your name and as they did, we proceeded to order 4 plates (only 3 of us). I wondered why she was jotting things down on her notepad...*ding* they're not included in the all you can eat. so 4 desserts for $5 each = $20 + 3 meals at $28 a pop + a bloody mary + glass of merlot + white russian + 3 amaretto sours (not my idea, I swear - but try it with OJ, not bad) + espresso + cappuccino... $166 less tip and tax. After all said and done, it came out to like $63 per person, which could have been avoided by taking out the dessert and the unnecessary drinks. So just stick with your meal and 1 drink.
I'm still happy. -

If you've never been to a Brazilian churrascaria before, you'll probably think it's great. If you have, you'll probably shrug and think it's just okay.
Green Field adheres to the same formula as other churrascarias: you serve yourself the non-meat dishes from a buffet, then wait for the gauchos to serve you slabs of meat on skewers. The food at Green Field is quite good.
What's missing from Green Field is the atmosphere. It is a very big, very loud place, intended to feed many people at one time. This is a bit of a contrast from the tiny Brazilian barbeques I'm used to. Still, if you have a big dinner party, Green Field can accomodate and feed your party pretty well. If it's a smaller group, there are probably better choices around. -

Meat Galore!
My friend and I decided to visit this sport for the Fourth of July dinner. This was my first; I have ever been to a Brazilian restaurant. We did not have to wait for a table. It was not crowded at all. We had a red/green sign on the table, but even when it was at stop, they kept coming. I was happy just enjoying the buffet.
They had a braised beef with yucca in this huge simmering pot that was simply delicious. The short ribs were tasty, so was the wrapped turkey in bacon, it was very good.
My friend enjoyed the skirt steak, but was disappointed that he was served this meat after six different others. Other than that, the hot and cold bar was pretty tasty!
Only go to this place if you are extremely hungry! -

A meat lovers paradise!!!
Went there tonight with my cousin and her friend...She's not a big meat eater, but she enjoyed the sides and the salad bar...I'm total carnivore and I ate stuff from the buffet as well. They served all cuts of meat, sirloin, skirt steak, chicken, turkey, sausage, roast beef, shish kebab, beef ribs, salmon... they even served rabbit and duck, and I made it a point to eat that, even though my cousin was like..."You're going to eat Peter Cottontail?" (She draws the line at eating things that are cute)
The buffet was great too, they had sushi rolls (california and tuna) oxtail stew, beef ribs with yuca, rice, beans, fried yuca, codfish fritters.
Save room for dessert! We had dulce de leche, tres leches cake, and tiramisu. -

Came here for a friend's b-day a while back. They have valet parking which is a huge plus imo because it can get tough trying to park on Northern Blvd on a Saturday night.
First...the salad bar isn't as great as the other churascarrias in the city but c'mon....who goes to these places for the salad bar? Noobs I say!
About 10 mins after we were all seated, I made eye contact with one of the servers. Gave him that "come here with your meat" look. I've been told that look can be very seductive....must be true because in no time he came over with his huge meat stick.
This place has a huge selection of meat but of course some are more popular than others so you have to have the right timing if you want to try everything.
Good price, good selection, but quality isn't as good as some places in the city. -

Not to be the elitist Brazilian, but this place honestly is not worth the 3 day meat coma you'll experience afterwards. If I'm going to have severe organ-grinding body tension for 3 days (including New Year's Eve and Day mind you), the food damn well better be worth it, and it wasn't.
The decor was downright tacky.
The food they have laid out on the buffet is bland and not too tasty. I understand the main attraction is the meat, but at a Brazilian place at least get the rice and beans right.
Some of the meat was alright, most of them were honestly subpar. Service was slow and stopped coming for a good while although we were still on green.
The end of my tolerance and good will came when after waiting for an hour for some chicken hearts, I get them drenched in vinegar. Who does that? Brazilian barbecue and foods in general are greatly successful because of their simplicity. Just put some hard salt on it and throw it on the grill. Please don't put vinegar on my heart(s)!
C-... for shame. -

Where do I start. I've been here quite a few times. They have their own big lot & Valet's. The Restaurant is large and has several dining rooms some even for private events. Decor is nice & classy except for the huge bison head on the wall. The damn thing is always looking at me no matter where I sit. Typical churrascaria setup green means keep food coming and red means please stop I can't take it anymore. There decently priced for grill/steak house if you go in with a game plan. I gotta tell these sons of a Korean Brazilians got me ounce or twice until I got the right strategy. You see they also, besides the endless grilled meat, have endless hot, cold, & sushi bars. If you go in & over indulge in the salad bar you wind up paying 25 to 30 bucks for a bunch of salad. Ounce, twice,but not thrice now I go and save plenty of space for the grilled stuff which is why everyone goes in the first place. The only thing that I don't like is that they don't season anything, so its up to you and the salt & pepper on the table. Oh yeah no doggy bags allowed. I would definitely recommend to others

Erm, let me just say that this place was not my cup of tea. I found the atmosphere wack i mean really it's a brazilian restaurant can we get a brazilian feel?! Let's not mention all the fat on the meat, the too much raw meat they should give more choices of well cooked meat, i mean seriously i saw a mean getting carved with a puddle of blood in a plate below it, that is nasty it almost made me lose my appetite and well the service and the buffet sucked. I'm sorry it's not worth the $28.97 per person price mind you that is not including a drink or desert which is an extra fee. Save yourself some money and go someplace better!

Hmmm a Korean owned Brazilian restaurant with really bad food and bad management. It's all fake here go to a real one, but I am sure you can read the other reviews. O and check their letter grade from the NYC health department.
