Very disappointed with this restaurant. We used to enjoy the food and service and always recommended to our friends, but lately after giving it a try a few more times my family may not come back. They have added so many things to avoid having to serve the steaks. They don't come out as often and probably intentionally doing it so diners will be forced to eat the cheaper food like the very greasy empanadas that don't have any flavor. If you don't want to serve all the steaks mentioned on your menu then don't advertise them. That's called cheating.
Avenida Brazil - Southwest HoustonResponded 5 days ago
Maria, we're truly saddened to read your review, especially as a longtime supporter who used to recommend us. We sincerely apologize that your recent visits have been so disappointing. Your feedback about the frequency of steak service and the quality of other items is very concerning, and we want to assure you this is not our intention. We pride ourselves on offering a bountiful rodízio of meats, and we're actively reviewing our service flow to ensure every cut is brought to your table often and with passion. We value your loyalty deeply and hope you'll give us a chance to restore your faith in our restaurant.

Avenida has been my very favorite place to eat for years. My last visit on Memorial Day was the first time I was ever disappointed. For starters, they replaced the Au' Gratin potatoes as a side dish with french fries, not a good substitution. But my main complaint was that for the first time ever, I had a very hard time getting served rare meat. Everything I got was medium or worse. Finally, I went to the restroom, and my lady friend, and my niece talked to the waiter and told them about it. I finally got the house special cooked rare. Then I asked for rare lamb chops, and when they finally arrived, much later, they were very well done. I didn't waste any food. I ate everything, and even though over cooked, it was tasty and good. But it fell way short of the service I was used to from my many other visits. I won't be in a hurry to go back.
Avenida Brazil - Southwest HoustonResponded 5 days ago
Kenny, it pains us to hear that your recent visit, after years of being a cherished guest, was a disappointment. We truly value your loyalty and are so sorry that we didn't deliver the rare cuts you love or the excellent service you've come to expect. We would like to clarify that though we are always trying new things, the french fries are not replacing the Au Gratin potatoes. The issues you experienced with meat doneness are not up to our standards, and we're also addressing this with our gauchos and team. We cherish guests like you and hope you'll allow us to bring back the sabor and service you remember.

We went for a lunch date and, unfortunately, they did not have any lunch specials. The protein options were good and there was a variety. Some of the steak had a lot of fat content, unrendered even on medium temp pieces, which made it harder to enjoy. Overall, an okay experience for the churrasco format.

Waited more than 30 minutes to get seated WITH a reservation. Food was not worth the terrible service
Avenida Brazil - Southwest HoustonResponded on May 12, 2025
Valerie, we're truly saddened to hear about your disappointing experience with us. As a restaurant deeply rooted in Brazilian hospitality, waiting 30 minutes despite having a reservation goes against everything we stand for! Our authentic churrasco experience should begin with prompt, welcoming service - and we clearly missed the mark. Your feedback is incredibly valuable as we strive to honor our Brazilian heritage through both exceptional food AND service. I'd love to personally speak with you about your visit and make things right. Please reach out to us directly at 281-900-1848. Muito obrigado for bringing this to our attention.

Went for Mother’s Day and the place was full. The meat dishes were good. Never received Filet Mignon and I hope they replace the rice and potatoes with other vegetables. They were dry and cold not appetizing.
Avenida Brazil - Southwest HoustonResponded on May 12, 2025
Rupert, thank you for joining us for Mother's Day! We truly appreciate you choosing our Brazilian steakhouse for such a special celebration! While we're happy you enjoyed our meat dishes, we're disappointed that you missed out on our Filet Mignon and found our rice and potatoes lacking. Your feedback is valuable to us! Our kitchen team is passionate about bringing the authentic flavors of Brazil to every dish - including our sides. We hope to welcome you back to experience our churrasco at its very best!

It’s unfortunate that the restaurant did not recognize the reservation that was made through OpenTable. There was at least 10 parties ahead of us when we arrived in time to check in and when asked how long it would be, they didn’t know. We left and went somewhere else- won’t return to this restaurant.
Avenida Brazil - Southwest HoustonResponded on May 12, 2025
Amber, we're absolutely devastated to hear about your reservation troubles! The spirit of Brazilian hospitality is all about making guests feel welcomed and valued from the moment they arrive - and we clearly failed you in this regard. Not recognizing your OpenTable reservation and being unable to provide wait time information goes against everything we stand for! We completely understand why you chose to dine elsewhere, but we'd love the opportunity to make this right. Our authentic churrasco experience begins with organization and respect for your time. Please contact us directly at 281-900-1848.

Birthday dinner was delicious. The salad bar & table service selections were amazing & enjoyed by all, even the kids ages 2, 7, & 8! My favorites (the grilled cheese w/honey & the tender cuts of steak) were plentiful & delectable! There were a couple times the servers missed some of the guests at our table, which is the only minor complaint I would have. It really was an enjoyable experience & we will be dining here again soon!
Avenida Brazil - Southwest HoustonResponded on May 12, 2025
Chesley, what a joy to hear about your wonderful birthday celebration! We're absolutely thrilled that everyone (including the little ones) enjoyed our authentic Brazilian dining experience! The grilled cheese with honey and our tender cuts of steak are indeed guest favorites - we take tremendous pride in bringing these delicious flavors to your table. While we're sorry to hear that servers occasionally missed some guests at your table, we appreciate your understanding. Creating special family moments through our churrasco tradition is our passion! We're looking forward to welcoming you back soon!
