Dave: All these reviews that recommend the pork chop...it is massive and more tender than some of the best steaks. Not like your normal pork chop.
Savon S: Excellent bourbon list! Pork chop was amazing along with the bison ribs. Sides were good as well - we had the sweet potato, cornbread and spinach.
aj (andrea jo): Duck carnitas salad was amazing - best duck I've ever had. Sausage sampling and hot buffalo Brussels sprouts w/ blue cheese sauce were sooo satisfying. I will dream about those sprouts! Nice staff too

Lee Zukor: we can't get enough of the pulled pork and beef, or just about anything else here (collards, grits, yams). Local Food Lovers get a free entree when you buy one. Read more.
City Pages: Voted Best Takeout by City Pages in 2011! The yucca, slow roasted pork, and grits are all amazing, and all are available for takeout!
Eater: Brasa is the casual restaurant from Alex Roberts ( a James Beard-wining chef). This is a place to go family style, and make sure to get the slow-roasted pork, the crispy yuca, and the collards.

Philp Hussong: Carnitas tacos everytime. Delicious.
Rebecca Dessonville: Low Carb: get a small plate of the pork rinds. Add plenty of salt. Skip the rice and beans. Fajitas are great with guacamole and sour cream.
Douglas Niemela: Carnitas are the best! Get them in your taco, burrito, or whatever. Just get them inside you!
