This is a small very interesting restaurant that you could drive by many times without knowing it was there. While they have a full menu, they also have a take-out buffet. It costs $8.50 for a full carton. When I went it, it appeared to be family run with the family possibly living upstairs. The grandmother came down the stairs (with a small child in tow) and served me. She showed me all the entres in the buffet and then shared out for me into a carton what I wanted. The buffet selection is small, but the food is homecooked and tastes it. I got white rice, chicken with yucca, stewed pork, linguine with shrimp, a fried plantain, and some cauliflower salad. It was well worth the price. But if you are interested in less food, I would try the Ben Brasil Buffet which is by the pound. If you want a larger selection try the Brazil Buffet and Pizza Grille, but if you want both a lot of food and a reasonable price, go to Julia's.

It is worth noting their hours. They are open everyday until 10 and also advertise breakfast.
