The environment is chill and cozy. Plenty of choice for salad and meat! I love the salmon in salad bar. All the servers were so nice. I really like the roasted pineapple and all the meat were so tender and good. Chicken heart is a must have!!

Amazing buffet for the meat lover. Great concept, great food, great service. Awesome for birthdays and special events. Expensive but worth it for a splurge.

My first time did not disappoint! Soo many selections of meat, appetizers, and sides. I was in awe 😱 everything was delicious! the Brazilian Martini is one of the best martinis I’ve had 😍

I can’t believe I’ve never been to Espetus ! It’s the best place for some fun and delicious meats. The buffet was filled with all kinds of good food and u get ur free flow of bbq meats. My fav for the sirloin and pineapple. The waiters were very professional and nice. We also ordered a half bottle Chilean Pinot noir for $35, was cheap and surprisingly good! Would come back for our next gathering

Super nice place to have a meal. Course it's got buffet with lots of good options and then they bring around the meat as Brazilian places will do. Staff was friendly and attentive. I think compared to regular eateries this is very reasonable and I was full for a long time.
Dustin Lee
The ambiance of several workers bringing around food is great. The sidebar is great and has so many things. You can truly feel fancy with this. Also, remember you have a time limit so maybe only bring friends that can eat a lot in a short period. Reminder: Do not buy the sparkling water, it costs 10 dollars per bottle. The regular water is free. The other drinks are more flavorable.
Alexander Li
Definitely a place to check out if you really like to eat meat or just eat a lot in general! Really nice restaurant with good service. Just be careful with how much you eat because it's easy to eat too much with how good the food is!
Frank Vargas
This was an amazing experience for my girlfriend and I. We loved everything!! Make sure you come hungry. All you can eat and wonderful choices for the whole family!! Definitely will be coming back!
