About this restaurant

Good for groups

Espetus Churrascaria is a Brazilian steakhouse. This restaurant began in 2003, as an homage to the Brazilian cowboys who would cook each night by roasting meat over an open flame. Today, this form of dining has evolved to a totally unique culinary experience. Guests at Espetus are seated with a red and green painted wood block on the center of the table. If the diners are hungry, they place the green side face up and servers will come by with a wide array of grilled dishes on skewers. Whenever they are hungry, they simply flip the block to red.

Espetus has an extremely large and varied menu for guests to enjoy. Guests can enjoy items like sirloin steak, top sirloin, filet mignon, flap steak, grilled chicken, marinated shrimp, rum-soaked pineapple, pork belly, flame-grilled bison and many more. Espetus also has a cold bar with items like rolls and pasta.

Espetus is always an amazing experience! We brought our 4 year old daughter with us and I was worried she'd disturb the other tables around us. However, she tried everything that came to the table and the staff was super friendly, high-fiving her and making sure she was having a good time. We even had a wonderful discussion with the manager last night about the food and how wonderful everything was. You always do an amazing job and we can't wait to visit again!

Went for the first time for an early Father’s Day. It was my dad’s first time too and he said he LOOOVED it. Steak was delicious. Many options for appetizer and the salad bar. We were a group of 12 people so the table was a little tight when they were cutting our steaks.
