Greenfield is "Brazilian BBQ." It's all-you-can-eat, there's a buffet of salads, soups, and hot dishes (good, but things tended to be quite salty), and then there are carts rolling around throughout the restaurant, each one with a different type of grilled meat (different steaks, chicken, rabbit, pork, etc). I thought it was excellent but I was so full, I haven't brought myself to return (it's been about a year) yet. The meat was delicious and of great quality-- closer to Ruth Chris quality cuts than Outback, I thought. However, I was there when the restaurant first opened. I know others on the newsgroup have had complaints about it since.. It's located where Paolo's used to be on the Pike, if you recall. Near Congressional and the Ramada Inn.

I've never eaten in the Rockville Green Fields (I've tried one in California) but I suspect that the food quality is at least as good at Malibu, the prices are a bit lower ($14.95 during the week, $15.95 on weekends), and there are always a good number of Hispanic families eating there - a good sign that it's reasonably authentic. There are no rolling carts, but the waiters come around with skewers and cutting boards. If you want something that hasn't come around in a while, just snag a waiter and ask for it. They might have to put it on the grill so it'll take a few minutes extra, but I've always found the service at Malibu to be good enough so that I've had to put up the red flag a couple of times through a meal to catch my wind.
