The Midwest Grill reopens Tuesday in Cambridge’s Inman Square with Brazilian and Portuguese food, a full bar and – most importantly for the sybarites – a return of its buffet for lunch and meals by the menu for dinner, according to social media posts from the restaurant.
The restaurant shuttered as Covid took root but reopened in October as JP Restaurant & Bar with the same owners (John Pinto is the JP in the name; but there’s a different head chef) and a promise to relaunch its renowned barbecue.
That all-you-can-eat Brazilian barbecue joint, where friendly servers swung by with skewers of smoked meats, sausages and chicken hearts among the endless offerings is apparently back, and without the JP branding.
The Brazilian barbecue concept has been in Cambridge under Pinto since 1993, first where Pammy’s is on Massachusetts Avenue between Central and Harvard squares. Along the way it moved into the Portuguese and Brazilian neighborhood of Wellington-Harrington.
