All you can eat: Pampa Brazilian Steakhouse

I've been to Pampa probably half a dozen times, if not more, and I gotta say-I love that place! It's a fantastic spot to go for lunch: it's downtown, it's convenient, and it's all you can eat so you'll be full for hours afterwards-thanks to that amount of protein. For lunchtime it's $24.95 per person and you get the unlimited option of 5 different types of meat and free reign at the salad bar. That's a pretty great deal, and well worth the money.

 

Dinnertime is good, but a bit more expensive-although you also get more meat. $49.95 per person gets you the option of 10 different types. Personally, I've always eaten at Pampa for lunch as I feel like it's a much better deal, and realistically 5 types of meat is still a lot. You can only eat so much, and 10 definitely seems mouth-watering, but also a bit excessive. 

It's downtown so being centrally located it is convenient, as I stated, but I'm not going to lie-parking is kind of a b****. If you work downtown like my usual "lunchtime Pampa" companion then it is a great place, and I always see plenty of business people that work in the area there on their lunch break.

When you arrive a server takes your drink order (and they always charge you for plain old water that anyone could get out of their tap-which kind of irritates me) but anyways then you grab your salad bar food and you're good to go! I believe you can also have the option of just eating from the salad bar, and no meat, for $16.95 if you're a vegetarian. Though why you'd come here if you didn't eat meat I have no idea-but there you are.

So basically then you turn your little dot on the table over to green, and this signals the guys with the meat (haha) to come around and offer you a selection.

At lunchtime you get the choice of rump steak, top sirloin, pork loin, chicken legs, and pork sausage. 

  

Personally I really enjoy the rump steak, top sirloin and the pork loin. The sausage tastes a bit too strongly of cumin for my preference, and chicken simply isn't my favorite. Soon enough, they start bombarding you with food and then you need to turn it back over to red so they'll let you eat in peace, until you decide you're ready for more, of course.

 Afterwards, the server meanders around with a plate of desserts, trying to tempt you into feeling like even more of a fatty, but generally you're so full by this time you can actually half-heartedly refuse. Although the desserts are pretty good here too and almost as delicious as they look, admittedly.

All in all, it's a great experience. Fantastic place to go for a lunch date, or with some friends, or even a big party. Would recommend it to anyone that loves meat and can eat a lot!
