Great experience and decent value (all you can eat!). Most meats are very well prepared and seasoned, although occasionally you might get a slice from a more well-done portion of the slab. Friendly service, and delicious caipirinhas. Recommend this place for large groups and serious meat eaters.

The people working there are so nice and very attentive to detail and made sure we were taken care of the whole time. Unfortunately, we all have our limits for food consumption, would have probably eaten all the meat if I could.

Thank you so much! We love hearing that our team made you feel well taken care of from start to finish. And we totally understand - the churrasco experience can definitely test your limits! We hope to welcome you back soon for round two.
