First Time-Now I'm Hooked!

by wendylreeves at Citysearch

I came across Betchee's during my business day, and stopped in. I've never had Brazilian cuisine before, but, was pleasantly surprised. It's like a little bit of Rio-from the little shop where you can buy Brazilian products to the lunch buffet that cost me around $10-I was very pleased with the variety-and the aromas in the restaurant made me forget I was sitting right off I-75! The owner told me she's hosting a Brazilian Mardi Gras on the property in May, and is bringing in a Brazilian band for an authentic Brazilian festival! I can't wait. The owner explained to me that during her recent absence she left the restaurant in the hands of several individuals who weren't as passionate about the restaurant as she is-and now she's back and planning to expand the restaurant to include outdoor seating. Betchee, I'll be back!

• Pros: Wide variety, wonderful aromas, very friendly staff & owner
• Cons: NONE

Horrible waste of life

by tourniquet63 at Citysearch

I have never been one to write reviews. However the lack of quality of the food here has inspired me. I am usually a very easy going restauranteer. Especially when it comes to buffets. I understand there is a certain aspect of buffets since quantitiy is involved. But that point is entirely defeated if you can not bare to eat the food.

Truthfully I ate here because of all the wonderful reviews. They must not have had the buffet. The best part of the restaurant was the guarana soda and they had a big screen TV with brazillian footbal. That is it.

• Pros: I am alive
• Cons: I had to pay for the "food"

Can I give less than 1 star? Horrible food, WOW!

Your options for the buffet include:

sausage (cut up hotdog mixed with onions)

black beans - these weren't so bad

white rice (served cold)

Fajita meat? its not hot, it was tough and had no flavor

various fried items with meat inside- if you get lucky to choose the pork one, then it is edible. Of course nothing is labeled so you really have no idea what you are eating and you will probably regret it later.

The salad was edible if you aviod the salad dressing

I am guessing the only way they stay open is that they have a gift shop in the front to sell junk.

There is no way that these other reviews are real...

this has to be the worst resturant in Richardson

• Pros: Guarana soda
• Cons: They should pay ME to eat this stuff...

Authentic Brazilian - Relaxed atmosphere and Excellent food!

by sealstone at Citysearch

Excellent food and value - Paying by-the-pound for a buffet is unusual for american diners, but is a typical brazilian experience - the food here was wonderful, the variety excellent, the atmosphere relaxed and authentically Brazilian - I had the sunday afternoon lunch buffet with my family (and our Brazilian exchange student) and we all loved our meals. Reasonable prices, (all-u-can-eat is also an option here) and convenient location near I-75.

We will be back!

TERRIBLE FOOD, TERRIBLE FOOD

by Natek2004 at Citysearch

Found restaurant off citysearch. Food was Cold and was not labled. Food was so bad, no flavor. The TWO meat dishes were only tough chicken and cold pork. Here is the best if you want any dessert IT NOT included in the price, they'll charge you an additional $6.99 per pound. I should have known when including me and my wife only 4 people were eating. I asked the waiter what something was on the buffett, his answer,"Sorry I dont know". I cannot believe the other reviews...they had to have been written by the owners of the restaurant.

• Pros: None --- really non
• Cons: Food, flavor, value, ambience
