Ponto Gaucho Brazilian Steakhouse

We had dinner here around 7:30 on 1/24. It was Friday night, and the parking lot was packed, so we expected to have to wait to seat 3 people. We were wrong. We were immediately seated and welcomed by the staff. We ordered our drinks and headed for the salad bar. They had a great selection of delicious sides. Then we returned to our table and flipped our cards to green, and that is when the magic began! Sorry I didn’t post any photos of the meat. I was eating it as fast as it arrived! Everything we tried was phenomenal. And the meat just kept coming. So very good. Also, the grilled pineapple really was mind blowing. The place was packed, but they have their operation running like a well-oiled machine. Everyone was getting served in a timely manner, so if it looks super busy, don’t let that discourage you from going in. They will take care of you like you are the only one there. We thoroughly enjoyed a fantastic meal, great service, and had a good time!

First time dining at this place with my family, and it was a great experience! The unlimited salad and soup were delicious, and the restaurant was clean with a beautiful view of the lake. The staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly, making us feel right at home. Definitely a spot worth visiting again!

Ponto Gaucho Brazilian Steakhouse was amazing. The meats were so tender and juicy! Really good. The salad bar was refreshing with a variety of options to choose from. The cheese bread they give you is delicious. Drinks are fantastic too. The service was exceptional!!! They were on top of it!

My brother-in-law was in town for the weekend visiting from Virginia. My husband and I wanted to try for our fist time, we were very excited since we've never tried any dining experience as this one. We attended on Sunday night, we were able to make a reservation which was amazing. ( most lubbock restaurants will not accept reservations anymore, unless big parties). Dinner was delicious, all the food was great. It was an extraordinary experience. I tasted cuts of meat I've never had before, a Brazilian lemonade and desserts. The spicy beef was a favorite amongst us, the filet mignon, the sausage and grilled pineapple. Just, Wow!We did try a little of everything offered and it was all up to par. The service was amazing, all the staff was fast, kind and friendly. Will definitely be returning! 😁

Tonight was our first time there. Wow. Muito bom. It was so good. We even got to meet one of the owners, Carlos, who is from the south of Brazil. Such a great experience from the level of service to the quality of the food. Can’t wait to go back.

I've visited many Brazilian steakhouses across the U.S. - Fogo, Tejas, Rodizio, and more. They're my go-to for special occasions or a hearty feast. When Churrasca in Lubbock closed, I was disappointed, so I was thrilled when a friend told me about Ponto Gaucho. Ponto’s dinner menu is on par with other steakhouses, offering staples like sirloin, filet mignon, ribeye, lamb, chicken, pork, and ribs. Unique highlights included lamb chops, spicy beef picante, fried cheese with honey, and grilled pineapple. Missing favorites like skirt steak or fish might be seasonal. The salad bar was smaller than others but had solid options - veggies, cheeses, cured meats, smoked salmon, soups, beans, and rice. While not extraordinary, it was a good prelude to the meat. The meat service was exceptional, with gauchos delivering cuts at an overwhelming pace. I had to flip my card to red multiple times just to catch up. Filet mignon stood out - it was tender, flavorful, and among the best I’ve had at a steakhouse. The spicy beef picante was a unique treat, while the top sirloin and lamb chops also impressed. Even the pork sausage, which I usually avoid, was excellent. The grilled pineapple was good but lighter on glazing and heavier on cinnamon than I prefer. Dessert was a delightful surprise. The flan was caramelized, custard-like, and delicious enough for a second to-go order. The crème brûlée, though heavier on the sugar topping than I prefer, was thick, tasty, and satisfying. Service was top-notch, with attentive staff always available. They promptly refilled glasses, handled special requests, and answered questions. The atmosphere was well-lit, not loud, and welcoming. Prices were reasonable - $240 for four people. Ponto Gaucho delivered a five-star experience and while writing the first draft of this review, apparently I was too pleased because Google reviews said I crossed the character limit. Suffice it to say, I was very pleased and we'll be back.
