I've been to Midwest Grill on several occasions (and numerous churrascarias throughout the US and in Brazil). At Midwest grill, it seems that the quality of meat keep getting worse and the attitude of management and owner is even poorer. The meat had a fair amount of fat and gristle. The salad bar had noticeably fewer options than on previous visits. On my most recent trip my party was charged for refills of ice tea and soda. When the refills were ordered there was no mention from the server that there would be any charge for the additional beverages. They pull the same trick on dessert as well. Upon getting the bill and seeing the extra charges, the waitress attempted to assist by asking the manager who then offered to take one round of refills off the bill. However, the owner then came by an insisted that ALL restaurants charge for ice tea and soda refills and that the charges must stay on the bill.
The sirloin and pork loin were excellent. The chicken was dry. We had to ask five times to get garlic bread.
For future ventures for mass quantities of meat, I will take my business to one of the other Brazilian restaurants in the Somerville area.
Pros: excellent sirloin and porkloin
Cons: rude owner,poor meat quality;no refills;inconsistent service
