Always a great experience here! My mom and I did the Thanksgiving dinner event here and there were so many sides to choose from, different salads, creating your own salads, and even brunch available, and then turkey and other meats! Will definitely be back for a regular meal sometime.

You get what you pay for (most of the time) and for this particular genre of dinner, this is most certainly considered top tier but I see the room to improve. There were a few hiccups throughout the evening I noticed. Throughout the evening I noticed despite having a reservation there was a bit of an overbooking problem. While this is completely normal for a popular establishment, that doesn't make it any less uncomfortable in the moment. Despite arriving on time, we just waited an additional 35 minutes for the table. There were a few times we needed to ask for specific products to be brought to us, the plates were occasionally not double-checked for previous users food but that is also normative for a buffet. Lastly I would say that the chicken and fish lacks Insight from the particular communities that excel in cooking it. Without placing too fine a point on it, perhaps from a more ethnically centered spicing variety could come in and give advice on what they would do with the chicken and fish. Overall the chicken and fish was rather bland despite the eccentric seasoning combinations offered. The steak was exceptional in nearly every variety. The salad bar was exactly what it should have been with a few extra bonuses I didn't expect. Lastly the desert was solid on the cheesecake bites and pudding, and officially won the award for the worst creme brulee I've ever tried in my life. Considering that I was completely Satisfied by a creme brulee that I bought at a roadside gas station on my way to Los angeles, that's saying something. Overall I think the deal was reasonable @ $59 buffet style eating per person but others around me thought this was steep but due to the busy nature, I think that was a decent business-focused amount. I might return one day if I had a coupon but for a date, it's an easy $200 with drinks. That's a bit steep for a non-suit/tie venue with music. Overall review: "It's ok to go once, but minimal return value"

It was my wife and I's anniversary. We came in and our server was very cool and even reminded us to look for our special email offer for a discount and free desert. We had our 6 month old daughter with us who did fuss a little but everyone was very understanding and happily provided us with lukewarm water for her bottle. (A simple thing for sure but nonetheless we were super grateful). The food was fantastic and I'm proud of myself for not stuffing my face until I was utterly miserable... my wife couldn't help herself 😅

There were lots of food choices between the meat and salad bar and most items were good tasting. The only issue with the food that I had was that some of my beef pieces were quite chewy and had some gristle. The table service was above average with good timing. What wasn’t good was the fact that we waited 20 minutes for our table despite the fact that we had a reservation.

When I first planned to eat here I wasn't sure how it would be. I love a churrascaria but I had heard it wasn't as fancy. I was pleasantly surprised because everything was delicious. The meats were cooked to perfection and all the staff were very friendly. They had grilled pineapple which was fantastic and enough salad options to make anyone happy. Fresh pão de quijo on demand and the feijoada was amazing. I brought a friend and he was also thoroughly impressed!

Before you come here, I HIGHLY recommend an online reservation through their web site under BOOK A TABLE as you never know it can get extremely busy so by the time you get there, you don't have to wait like an hour or so to be seated. I've coming here on a few occassion cuz of their unlimited meats, salad bar and friendly host. I did have a couple incident where their manager was rude and ALSO their meat slicer-server would tell me if I'm NOT going to have anything more to eat, to turn my coaster to red. It was an akward situation to say the least but to have either of them tell you in a rude way. In my mind, I'll be done when I'm done and not let YOU dictate that I'm done. It should cater to their customer so we can enjoy that dinning experience. I keep in mind maybe they just having a bad day like any human beings but I kept things positive on my mind and it didn't discourage me for coming back again so it got a 4 star for me. There are some months they would do promo here and there. You have to do a "FULL RODIZIO" to experience everything they have. But if your in a budget, you can always do sides and salad bar selection and let your server know of your choices. There are some seating areas in the back that can be dark that has less lighten. I would recommend this place and you come full and satisfy.

The food was absolutely delicious! You can let the servers know how you like your meat cooked, and they’ll bring it out just the way you want. The customer service was excellent—Martha was incredibly sweet and went above and beyond to help us. We’ll definitely be coming back!
