For new Brazilian steakhouse, Maple Grove location is a homecoming

Bullvino’s Brazilian Steakhouse will soon be opening its fourth location and occupying the former Golden Corral site in Maple Grove, at 13603 Grove Drive. The restaurant has other locations in St. Paul, Bloomington and Bolingbrook, Illinois. There are also plenty of Minnesota and Maple Grove connections.
