The place is great, my wife and I went for our sons 14th birthday dinner with our 10 year old as well. I think they charged a little too much for a 10 year old who hardly ate. Everything else was excellent. The food also comes at you very fast, I would slow that down just a notch. If I could give this 4.5 stars I would have.

Amazing! You will go into a meat coma! And that is a very good thing. Incredible flavor and textures, 12 different cuts. Do NOT put any appetizers on your plate, as you will not get the chance to eat them. Just glorious.

What a delightful evening I had here. We were treated great. The staff was phenomenal. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I liked the place. This is a nice Brazilian statehouse. You get your money's worth in the food quality alone. They had a good variety of meats. What I tasted was tender and good. I liked it. The restaurant also had a nice salad bar and side dishes both hot and cold dishes. They had a good variety of things to choose from. The restaurant was easy to find. You can see it easily from US1. It has its own parking area. Inside it is nice and welcoming. It has beautiful table settings and low lights. It's nice inside.

Shockingly impressed with the steaks and service! The waitress was really nice and took care of us! The steaks were perfectly cooked and seasoned! Yum! Salad bar was okay. Nothing special. Full bar of drinks. 🍹 Lots of parking. 🚘 Amazing grilled pineapple!!! 🍍 Only negative was sitting in the area by the door on a hot Florida day. The heat was unbearable while the rest of the restaurant was perfect. DO NOT SIT ON THE RIGHT WHEN ENTERING RIGHT BY THE DOOR!!!

Made a reservation @7pm on a Thursday and was not seated until 9:30. Little to no service. The host Jennifer is the only gem they have there. I’m thankful she was there to calm my frustrations.

Excellent rodizio steakhouse with a sizable salad bar and hot food sides as well. The meats were all cooked wonderfully and there was a lot of variety. They also bring out requested levels of doneness if available. The servers were walking around with steak all throughout the meal, there weren’t really any lulls. Every cut of steak I tried was delicious and well-prepared. I also had some lamb that had excellent flavor as well. Vegetables and side dishes were fresh and perfect to accompany the meats. The restaurant is clean and the salad bar is well stocked. The servers were super friendly and attentive. It’s nice but not stuffy, which is a great change of pace from other similar restaurants. It’s approachable and delicious, but not something you need to dress up too much for (the only dress code I saw was a sign on the door saying no bathing suits and that men can’t wear sleeveless shirts). It seems very family friendly. They have a full bar and lots of normal lot parking. There are also high chairs available.

If you want to experience the authentic Brazilian rodizio this is the place to go in pompano. Food is excellent. Good variety of cuts. Lamb, several cuts of beef, chorizo, and many different meats. The most flavorful is probably the rib steak. The meat just dislve in you mouth. The salad bar is OK, but if you go to a meat lover experience, who cares for the salad bar. Deserts we extremely sweet for my taste. I could not finish the passion fruit musse. Cahipirinas are very good,but if you are not use to these drinks. You would be drunk with two. Highly recommend this place. Be sure that you come with an empty stomach and stay away from carbs. Beef assimilated better when is not mixed with potatoes or rice. Have some greens between eating brakes and you would enjoy longebeef feast.
