Fire Bull Restaurant

Sometimes that carnivore in you just takes over and you crave meat, lots of it. Succulent, grilled beef, chicken, pork and more. Such a craving came over some friends and I last evening so we decided to dine at the Fire Bull Restaurant, a churrascaria (Brazilian steakhouse) in Peabody.

The Firebull is not my favorite churrascaria (that would be the Midwest Grill) but it is still a very good restaurant and well worth visiting. When I am around Peabody, and get the urge, the Firebull is a good option.

The Firebull is open for both lunch and dinner. At dinner, the Rodizio, the all-you-can eat BBQ is $23.95. This includes a salad, white rice, fried plantains, feijao tropeiro (a Brazilian dish of beans, bacon, eggs, collard greens, kielbasa), and all the meat you can eat. The meats include items such as garlic beef tips, top sirloin, chicken wrapped in bacon, chicken wings, ribs, pork loin, chicken hearts, lamb, and pork sausage. A few other items are sometimes available as well. If the Firebull had more sides available, like Midwest Grill, I would prefer it more. Though the meat is obviously the center of the rodizio, it is also good to have a variety of interesting side dishes.

One thing I wanted to note, as I think it is new at the restaurant, is that you can now bring your own wine, for a corkage fee of $8 per bottle. Though they do sell wine, with some interesting selections from Portugal and Brazil, it is even better that you can bring your own. That is certainly a very good change.

Last night, the Rodizio was maybe the best I had ever had there. The meats were cooked perfectly, were hot, juicy and moist. There was not a single meat last evening that I did not enjoy. And the restaurant was really not that busy so it was not an issue of a quick turnaround. The garlic beef, always one of my favorites, was absolutely delicious. The rare top sirloin just melted in my mouth. The pork loin was superb. Just a fantastic spread.

Service, as usual, was excellent. They are very accomodating, pleasant and and gracious. I will return again here and do recommend that you try it out as well.
