Brazilian BBQ near the Sugar Land area serving wonderful high quality meat with a decent salad bar. Meat movers must try this one. The atmosphere is very welcoming. We enjoyed our time here. Will certainly come again!

I’ll be honest, I’ve been here a few times, maybe even reviewed this before BUT if I haven’t, here it is again, I like this place! People here are always so nice, even when they were slammed for Valentine’s. My boyfriend took me here for dinner and they had a valentines special where drink, food, and dessert all included. Now the only thing is parking is tricky, they truly run out of spots so you might as well valet. Oh also! Please make reservations, it makes all the difference, we didn’t wait 5 minutes before they sat us down. It was truly an awesome time.

I had the most amazing birthday dinner here last year, and I’m still thinking about how perfect everything was! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome and ensured that every detail was taken care of. The service was top-notch—attentive, friendly, and always making sure our glasses were full and our plates never empty. And the food… absolutely incredible! The variety of perfectly cooked meats, fresh sides, and delicious salads made for an unforgettable dining experience. Every bite was flavorful, juicy, and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was lively yet elegant, making it the perfect place for a celebration.

We came to Avenida Brazil Churrascaria Steakhouse to celebrate my dad’s 50th birthday in their party room, but unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. Our waiter, Edgar S., was extremely rude and did not provide good service. He never gave us a rundown of how the restaurant works, including the salad bar, which would have been helpful since some of our family members were visiting for the first time. It felt like he was in a rush the entire time and had no interest in making our experience enjoyable. He also invaded our personal space and made rude jokes, like pretending to be annoyed when we politely said, “Excuse me,” as he was leaving the room. The party room itself was also a major issue. It was too small to comfortably fit our party of 12, and to make matters worse, there was no air conditioning, making it uncomfortably hot. When it was time for dessert, Edgar forgot to bring a family member’s dessert. When we reminded him, he just said, “Oh, I’ll just pack it up for you to take it home. ” She declined and asked for it to be removed from the check, but when the bill arrived, the dessert was still on it, and they never removed the charge. For a special occasion, this was an incredibly disappointing experience. Given the poor service, uncomfortable setting, and lack of attention to detail, I can’t recommend this place and won’t be returning.

Absolutely amazing! My partner and I make sure we stop by every time we’re in Houston. The food is amazing! I love that there are seafood options in rotation. The servers make sure you have exactly what you need. Ivan was absolutely the best!! He was attentive and very personable. Can’t wait to come back!!!

My first visit was remarkable!!! Food, service, atmosphere was perfect. Everything was well maintained, the bathrooms were clean and the staff seemed to be happy we were there. It was worth the money spent. I'll do it again and again. I forgot to take a picture of the main course, next time I will.

I dined at the restaurant for a special occasion, and Katie was very helpful in planning the event. The meal was excellent, and my guests enjoyed their experience. Our server, Edgar, was friendly, gave great suggestions, and provided exceptional service.
