Melissa was did so great during our lunch! She was very attentive and did everything she could to make our meal better! Wilson the gaucho also did his very best to make sure we got our food as quickly as possible during a busy rush. We had a blast and definitely ate plenty!

If you like Brazilian steakhouses, and you’ve got some extra cash, then definitely give this place a try! I kept getting food so often that my kids tried to hide the green hour glass that lets them know to keep offering you food! They were very warm and comforting to my toddler as well as our two older kids! Come on buy and eat some steak for me!

Our server Angel was kind and helpful since it was our first time at this restaurant. The food was wonderful and the variety endless! Will definitely return to this location. We drove from middle Tn which was an hour and half, yet we will return..

First time at this location. We drove about 2 hours to this location since our normal one was shut down a few years ago. It was my wife’s and my 10th marriage anniversary so we were excited. We were greeted and sat down fast. The cooks were nice and the clean-up crew visited us often to clean up extra plates. The server, Seth, only came to our table one time during the hour we were there. Our drinks remained empty for the entire meal. The table in front of us and behind us were getting free desserts and he never once asked if we wanted desserts too. We actually wanted to pay for upgraded desserts and upgraded drinks but we were never asked because he literally saw us one time. We finished eating and within 3-5 minutes a whole new server came over to give us our checks. We were wondering why we were seeing a whole new waiter for the first time in an hour. Just disappointed overall. I just think communication needs to take place when you randomly switch servers. I tipped a lot lower than normal because the new server was on the receipt he gave us. It was odd for me to tip the new server for only 30 seconds of service which was to hand us our receipt at the end. We make great money and we wanted to spend more but the restaurant missed out on making our day special. We didn't even get a goodbye or thank you for coming while other tables who kept getting free desserts did. We paid, got up, and walked out wondering what was happening. However, the atmosphere was quiet with only a few tables so the crowd noise was low and nice. We will try the other nearby location in a few weeks.

The Salad bar was great and the Service provided by Melissa and Wilson our goucho was top notch. But wait a minute let me tell you the star of the meal was the Garlic Parmesan Chicken.. Muu Magnificat‼️ Marinated overnight in a Garlic marinade then Garlic and Parmesan added on top.😢Soooo Good🕺🏾🙌🏾

Some of the meat overcooked at first but they remade it and it was delicious. Bryce is an excellent server!! Give him a raise or promotion even better!! Wine prices were very good. The Lambrusco was magnificent.

Jocelyn was a very kind server. Asked if I need anything, how the food taste and more. A testament of a true customer service. I’m a Brazilian and I do enjoy coming to this particular restaurant and see young people serving and cooking Brazilian BBQ like an authentic Brazilian! Great job!
