I really like this Brazilian grill! It offers a great selection of sides and a good variety of meats. My favorite is the garlic steak—it’s fantastic. You have the option to pay by the pound or go for the all-you-can-eat deal. Plus, you can bring your own drinks, which is a nice touch.

Fantastic. The best cuts of meat I’ve ever had. The most amazing picanha I’ve ever had. We had such a fun time coming here and can’t wait to go back! My boyfriend and I love to go to places like Fogo de Chão and this place was not only cheaper but significantly better. The chain restaurants have a bigger buffet set up but this one had everything you need. The main difference being the beef. All the meat was fantastic. The Picanha no alho was the best meat of my life. We didn’t even need dessert because they finished us off with cuts of grilled pineapple. It was BYOB so we brought our own wine and sojus. I came with Chinese and Korean couples and we all agreed that everything was amazing; even the rice. It’s best to go around the buffet to try a really small tiny bit of everything and go up for bigger seconds because some of the items up there surprised us! I loved the stuffed grape leaves (which I didn’t expect them to have) but the bread was meh. We came here on a Sunday night with a larger party (8 people) and were seated right away. They treated us really nicely. Overall; absolutely a Phenomenal restaurant for beef. Literally the best most of us have ever had.

I’ve been coming to this place for years and after a little hiatus I came back tonight, how much I was missing that steak, with no doubt it’s the best one in the area, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Always recommend to my friends!

We LOVE this spot!! The staff are always so friendly and so willing to help, not to mention the FOOD!!! The BBQ is absolutely incredible, I personally always go for the lamb and grilled pineapple, my partner loves the steak and the chicken sausage. Really all the BBQ meat is amazing. The salad bar also has some amazing options for veggies and carbs! We always go for the meat and salad bar per pound because we always end up with about $16 plates per person and that’s more than enough for us! Definitely try this place out!

Love this place, the quality of the food is SO consistent. And I would know because my husband and I go minimum once a week. It's always clean, and its quick delicious food. My husband as a gym enthusiast who needs meet protein intale for the day cannot get this much meat at this price anywhere else.

If you love tasteless, over cooked, and over priced food this is the place for you. I wasted $70 on food for 2 and the best tasting thing on my plate was the bread. It's sad when McDonald's has better tasting steak than a steakhouse. Literally everything was overcooked. Definitely will not ever be stepping foot in this establishment again.
