A great first impression with the cleanliness, the service, and the decor. But that’s just the beginning. There’s a whole lot more! There seating was comfy. I felt right at home. With the wonderful service and the courtesy shown. The menu was packed with drinks for all tastes And whatever you order will be no mistake. The food was delicious! Hot, fresh, and SO GOOD! If I could live in their kitchen, I probably would. The meats! The meats! What more can I say? Ain’t that the main reason people come and pay? Of course, my horse. It ain’t no joke. The meats just keep coming on that long steel poke! So what’s my review of this wonderful place? We’ll I think I made it obvious and no “poker face”.

While visiting Boise for work and after a long day, I stumbled into this restaurant completely unaware of its unique serving method. The server was a sweet young woman with blonde hair in a tight braid (I forget her name). She was so helpful and sweet as she explained what to do. The 2 male servers who brought by the skewers were friendly and quick. Food was great and atmosphere was unique and lively. It gave me energy at the end of a long day.

Great spot for a bit of food. There's a buffet for salads and sides. And they bring the meat and vegetables to your table.. The meat I tried. Was really yummy. You can try all different kinds of meat for the same price..

Excellent choice for dinner when you are with family or a large party. I was in Boise for the 1st time and wanted to try this restaurant, which offered a buffet style salad bar and all you can eat meat. I was not sure what to expect as the price was half as much as other well-known Brazilian restaurants. Started with the salad bar, which also had bread, soup, shrimp, fried plantains, and fruit. Then, the meat parade began, picanha, chicken wrapped in bacon, steak, sausages, pulled pork, fish, and my favorite grilled pineapple. After dinner, we were presented with a variety of desserts. We all got different ones with my favorite being the mango butter cake. Fresh lemonade was an all-time favorite, and you get enough for at least two glasses. Overall, great service and amazing food accesible to all. Try it the next time you are in Boise, Idaho.

We love this place! Food is always delicious. Our waitress last trip was a wonderful lady and was absolutely amazing with our kid. It can be a bit pricey and i will say the building could use some updating. The tables and bathroom and stuff are pretty worn out.

Our first time here, my wife just wanted and this salad bar was the best in town that I have found, it was fantastic for a quick meal👍...you can have just salad (cheaper) or the whole dinner with endless salad bar and they bring different meats around beef, chicken, pork , seafood but I was so full I could not eat anymore. Service was great I have no complaints.....except I should have called for a reservations.....we will return again a fantastic experience........
