About this restaurant

  • Fancy
Welcome to Novilhos!

The Brazilian "Churrasco" has been a tradition for generations in Southern Brazil, where Gauchos (Brazilian Cowboys) pierced large pieces of meat and slowly grilled them over open flamed pits.

With a fixed price and this unique style of barbecue, Novilhos features continuous service of sixteen selections of beef, chicken, pork, lamb and sausage, all slowly spin-roasted, preserving their natural flavors and textures.

When perfectly grilled, these delectable cuts are brought to you directly from the grill and expertly served by our carvers, dressed in Gaucho attire.

Novilhos' unique concept also offers an elaborated and sumptuous salad buffet with a variety of fresh cut vegetables, gourmet salads and side dishes, along with imported cheeses, cold cuts and other tasty seasonal items.

    They had an amazing staff that served amazing food! I was able to get all of the sides that I wanted to try and the staff came around tables and served you whatever meats were fresh off the grill! One of my favorite parts of the night was when the pineapple came around with brown sugar and cinnamon! I also had a Brazilian lemonade that was strawberry and pineapple with added Belvedere for a spice! What a wonderful way to spend your day around joyous people who cook amazing food!

    my husband and i come here frequently- we are very aware of how it works, portion size, and food expectations. our server was very unhelpful. never came back to ask for our drinks so i had to ask him to take our order. there were 6 of us and he brought out 2 polenta fries, 1 banana, a tiny plate of mashed potatoes, and no bread (he did say the bread was in the oven). i asked if we could get more as there were 6 of us and he seemed annoyed. repeatedly we asked for more sides and he continued to bring out tiny portions. we had to ask other servers repeatedly for more water.

    We had a wonderful time at Novilhos Brazilian Steakhouse! Each piece of meat had its own unique flavor profile and everything was so tasty! The salad bar is second to none and each selection is sublime. The hardest part of eating here is the size of your stomach not allowing you to taste everything they offer. Each server was attentive and friendly. The drinks were exceptional as well. Weekdays are the best for a quieter experience. I do not have any complaints!

    I was so bummed by this visit. Novilos is my all time favorite steak house. We arrived were seated immediately. We all ordered a before dinner cocktail and started to chat. 28 minutes later we started receiving some of the cocktails. I did not start with dinner until after my cocktail. By this time they were scarce to be found . I asked our server multiple times for meat to be served and it wasn't. The fresh food bar was a fraction of what it used to be. By 8pm they were pulling everything down and closing. If this is the new way at Novilios we will not be returning. First time leaving a Brazilian steak house hungry.

    I feel this place is going down in quality. Meat is not as good as it used to be. Way too salt now. And the interior seems to be taking apart in some places.

    My coworker and I just finished dining here, and I have to say—we were pleasantly surprised! Some of the reviews had us a bit worried, but we experienced no issues at all. The food was excellent, and we especially enjoyed the variety offered at the salad bar. Expect to spend around $70 per person, which we felt was fair for the quality and experience. Our favorite cuts were the bacon-wrapped filet mignon, beef ribs, and the picanha (hope I spelled that right!). Great service, great food, and a great atmosphere. We've been to many Brazilian steakhouses, and this one definitely did not disappoint.
