Consistently delicious food, happy customers, nice decor, and good service… My only wish is better acoustics. It gets a bit loud. For older ears, it starts getting difficult to follow conversation at one’s table. This is, of course, not all that unusual in busy restaurants where people are relaxing and celebrating.

Brazilian Steakhouse

Durham

About the restaurant

In the extreme south of Brazil, there is a land of rich and strong rural traditions, families have been gathering on weekends, for centuries, to celebrate life around a barbecue "CHURRASCO". There they talk, laugh, dance, enjoy themselves and specialize in grilling many types of meat. Thus, the CHURRASCO became the best representation, the "Trademark" or as the Brazilians say, "ESTAMPA" of the GAÚCHO lifestyle, such Denomination is given to the inhabitants of Rio Grande do Sul, the most southern state of Brazil. Today, here at ESTAMPA GAÚCHA, with great pride, we bring you the best of our churrasco, our culture. We are looking forward to showing our hospitality and win your loyalty for the excellence of our food and services. Come and experience this reality. Make your reservation and join our family.

Oh my gosh. The best salad, laced with goodies and no drowning in dressing. It was fresh and delish. My burger, while a bit oversized, was cooked rare to my taste, loaded with lettuce, tomato, onion and cheese. Loved this place. Hope they consider Asheville for their next location. Yes, I know we need to recover.

About the restaurant

Since 1995, we have been proudly serving the locals, students and visitors to Chapel Hill. A lot has changed in both our town and the craft beer industry since we opened our doors as the culmination of a business school plan I wrote my senior year at UNC. Today, we celebrate our North Carolina roots with a made-from-scratch menu focused on Carolina foods in a newly renovated building. I hope you enjoy a true Carolina experience here at Carolina Brewery and will look for our award winning beers on your travels throughout the Carolinas.
Cheers,
Robert Poitras

Great food and great service! It’s our first choice when we are in Chapel Hill. Our only disappointment was that TWO of the entrees (and one side) we tried to order were sold out.

OpenTable Diner

One of the best restaurants and breweries in Durham! Unique atmosphere with a perfect blend of modern and traditional brewery foods/drinks. Dined on the Bullpuppies for our appetizer and the had the Bacon Smash & loaded beer cheese fries, and also had the NY Strip Steak. Everything was cooked to perfection.!The food is not your typical brewery bites and the cocktails are even more impressive. Will most definitely be coming back here to enjoy the rest of their menu!
