Go for the succulent pulled pork (alone or nestled atop a roll, doused in pickled cabbage and the famed, addictive "green sauce ") and so-good-it-can’t-be-good-for-you creamed spinach Read more
Most everything is great, though this critic is partial to the deeply flavored rice and pigeon peas with local ham , and the cabbage salad , an ephemeral, minty elevation of traditional cole slaw . Read more
Try as we might, we haven't come across a single item we didn't like. Sprinkle the Hot Pepper Vinegar on your scratch made tortilla chips - ADDICTIVE!
The Butterscotch Pudding will be the best $3 you spend in your life.
The rice and beans are the best, just a little spicy . Be warned, though. In the evening the service is excruciatingly slow. It's worth it, unless you're in a hurry.
The sandwiches are amazing-pulled chicken and pork ! Also the sides are tasty and you can get a few to share. One of my favorite places!
The slow-roasted pork sandwich is stupid good.
Mekaka soup . The legendary soup ... If you like fish , you should order that one. soup includes fish , shrimp , rice and a little spice. Try it!
Inventive non-alcoholic drinks, well-seasoned slow cooked meats, and soulful sides make for a great meal. Restaurant opens all windowed doors in the summer for a fresh breeze.

Their scrambled eggs were so nice and fluffy, and I love their rice and beans.
Order to share, its the right thing to do, and the pulled chicken is surprisingly good!
I am now craving a Spicy Masa Corn Cake and definitely a Pork & Over Easy Egg . (^~^)<Mmm'mm
Order the over easy egg & pulled pork bowl . And a corn muffin . To. Die. For. This will now be the only thing I order here.
The entire menu is excellent but the fried yuka is always a standout.
We love the pulled pork & beef & just about everything else here (collards , grits , yams , etc). My kids go for the rotisserie chicken & organic rice . Local Food Lovers get a free entree when you buy 1 Read more

On Sundays get a tortilla , breakfast potatoes , beans and rice , and an egg . It creates the perfect breakfast taco ! (:
Whatever sauce comes with the Rotisserie Chicken is DELICIOUS! Try it!
The mojo sauce that comes with the slow-roasted pork should be used on everything: pulled chicken , yucca fries , shoe leather, everything.
Try the Smoked Beef With Yellow Rice And Black Beans - So good!! And reasonable prices
Brasa's Brussels sports are amazing. They should be on the regular menu.

Smoked & Braised Beef : slow cooked, chopped, and seasoned with the Brasa's "signature" mild sauce . Tender and robust, with a hint of sweetness, it just shouts: "beef !" Read more
Great family style local restaurant . Emphasis on rotisserie/Southern-style cooking. Try the yams & andouille sausage !
All good. Collards tremendous. Creamed Spinach to die for. Yuca with mojo picante muy sabrosa.
You've never had brussels spouts like this before. Wow!
The last few times I have been to Brasa the food was not worth the high price. I would not recommend it- the pulled pork was dry and the green tomatoes were so thin and only 3 slices.
Braised beef , black beans , and yellow rice . Don't forget the pineapple ginger ale .
I like the food but after sitting at our table for 15 minutes with no service (place was not busy), we left
Order the Yuca , I dream about the green sauce .
The rutabega gnocchi was spectacular. Try the ginger tonic while you're at it - delightful and refreshing. - Julian Kittelson-Aldred
