    I like the place it's closer to home and closer than Fogo De Chao and it's just a better movement to me food-wise.

    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!

    The service was excellent per usual. The salad bar always has such a great selection! I gave lower stars though because the meat just wasn't as delicious as it normally is. Also, it was Easter. I thought they would have brunch items as advertised on their website for Sundays AND Easter. Instead, it was just the same as normal dinner.
    Avenida Brazil - Southwest HoustonResponded 7 days ago
    Annette! Muito obrigado for your thoughtful feedback about your Easter visit to our Southwest Houston location! We're delighted our service maintained its excellence and that you enjoyed our diverse salad bar selection! We sincerely apologize that our meats didn't quite meet the high standards you've come to expect from us - we take this feedback to heart. We also appreciate you noting the Easter brunch expectation - this helps us improve our communication about special holiday offerings. In Brazil, we value honest feedback as much as praise! We hope to welcome you back for another visit that exceeds all your expectations!

    The service was fast, the gauchos were very polite and explained everything with ease. Our reservation was for 6:30 PM we arrived 20 minutes early and were seated right away. The meats were cooked to perfection according to your level of doneness preference. If I could make a suggestion add more hot sides to the menu. The restrooms were nice and clean. We enjoyed our dining experience!

    Muito obrigado, Mrs. Pat! Your glowing review has us doing the samba with joy! We're thrilled you enjoyed our authentic churrasco experience, from the polite gauchos to the perfectly cooked meats.

Our passion is bringing the flavors and hospitality of Brazil to every table, and we're delighted it shone through during your visit!

    First time at Avenida Brazil. This is a decent Brazilian churascaria, but not as good as Fogo de Chao or Chama Gaucha. However, the price was about the same. Salad bar did not have as many options. Cuts of meat were good, but they didn’t have as much variety. The drinks were good. The wait staff was very pushy and tried to move us along faster even though the restaurant was empty. Not pleasant but I just told them to go away. Wine list was ok, and found something decent in our price range. Overall a good experience, but for the money, there are better options.
    Avenida Brazil - Southwest HoustonResponded on March 10, 2025
    Rob! Obrigado for giving Avenida Brazil a try. We're glad you had a good experience overall, but it seems we didn't quite samba to your expectations. Your feedback about our salad bar and meat variety hits us like a missed penalty in the World Cup. We aim to offer a feast as diverse as Brazil itself, so we'll definitely spice things up! We're happy our drinks and wine list hit the spot, but the pushy service? That's as out of place as wearing a suit to Copacabana beach - We'll remind our team that hospitality should be as warm and relaxed as a day in Ipanema. We'd love to show you the true Avenida Brazil experience - one that'll have you cheering like it's Carnaval! Your insights help us improve faster than Neymar on a breakaway. Até a próxima, esperamos que você volte!

    We were seated before our reservation so that was a good start. The bartender guy horrible attitude the way he answered to the waiters was a harsh WHAT every time they asked a question, we did go to the bar before our reservation thinking we could get some drinks, but boy was I wrong. Food definitely not good only good was shrimp, the cheese with honey, and picaña. We got skipped every time the meats would pass we had to flag the waiters every time it was ridiculous. Definitely would not go again.
    Avenida Brazil - Southwest HoustonResponded on February 21, 2025
    Hi Meybelin, we're truly saddened that your experience fell short of the vibrant celebration we aim for at our churrascaria. While we're glad we seated you early, we're disheartened by the service issues and food quality concerns. Our rodízio should feel like a festive family gathering, not a struggle for attention. The bartender's attitude is far from the warm Brazilian embrace we strive for. We're grateful you enjoyed our shrimp, cheese with honey, and picanha. But we wish all our offerings had delighted you equally. We'd love to make things right and show you true Brazilian hospitality. Please reach out directly so we can address your concerns to 281-900-1848. Muito obrigado for your honesty. We hope to welcome you back and reignite your passion for Brazil's flavors and spirit.
