Avenida Brazil Brazilian Steakhouse by Sal e Brasa

My husband brought me to Avenida for my birthday. It was our first time dinning here so we weren’t sure what to expect. Let me tell you, this place exceeded our expectations! The staff was extremely helpful in guiding us through the process. We were first offered drinks and then when we sat, our waiter came to explain the dinning process. They have a salad bar with a variety of meats, cheese and delicious salads. Then came the endless meats, each cut we tried was tender, juicy and full of flavor! When we were done eating, the staff came over and offered me a complimentary dessert of my choice. I chose the flan and was blown away with how delicious it was. The experience was a 100/10! We loved every minute of our time there!! Great place for date nights or even family nights as they have so many options to choose from!

As a well experience Brazilian steakhouse connoisseur I ca say with confidence at this place is in my top list. The variety was absolutely insane. They offered a great amount of meat selection and seafood, which was very surprising. Highly recommend trying the Wagyu steak and the salmon. Shout out to luis p and Isabela for the great service.

Restaurant week special was a great value! Margarita cantina was delicious. The sirloin steak is unbelievable and great selection at the salad/ greenery was wonderful - fresh veggies, great combo salads, accent items (cheeses, olives, toppings). Only drawback is kind of cramped for overall space. Highly recommend. We had a party of 4, and it was just right for 1 table.

My husband surprised me for our wedding anniversary. We normally go to Chama Gaucha since we had our wedding reception there and we just made it a tradition to go every year. However.. this year he said we would do something different. We came to Avenida Brazil! From the moment we walked in to the moment we left we felt so important! I blushed when ppl came up to say happy anniversary! We were given little heart cards to flip! That had to be the cutest detail! Their food was spectacular and absolutely delicious! They didn’t have the scallops which is why my husband chose this place for me but everything else was amazing!! They even came by to ask if the temp of the restaurant was too cold to make it more comfortable for our baby. I loved our waiter.. this place will most likely be our new tradition. Oh and the flan was definitely something you have to have! Highly recommend!

This place is very nice! The food is excellent as well as the service! Staff was very professional! The different types of meats kept coming and coming! Overall atmosphere was great as well! Did i mention the desserts? Look for yourself! Will come back!

We were in town for a few hours so we stopped in for a steak not realizing it was churrasqueria style buffet, had to admit I was skeptical at first but turned out to be a very pleasant experience... the salad bar look yummy but I am mostly carnivore but still enjoyed the lobster bisque and some cheeses. The meats started flowing quickly and very often! They even had seafood which was very nice! For drinks we had some Manhattans, some Stagg bourbon and finished off with some Louis XIII cognac as dessert. At the end of our lunch our very friendly drink waiter informed us that they had recently open a location in our city which we will surely visit.

Service was excellent! The food kept coming-shrimp, salmon, sirloin, filet mignon, lamb etc. Our server recommended Caiparinha (similar to a margarita) we had the traditional, pineapple and strawberry-all were great. The molten cake with ice cream and whipped cream was delicious! I had the Affogato Bliss (coffee with ice cream)-great for coffee lovers.

Came here for dinner after making reservations on a Saturday night. Glad I did as there were a lot of people waiting to be seated. Was immediately seated and greeted by Ramon. He did a great job throughout the meal. Although a team of servers bring out the meats, he kept checking to make sure we had everything we needed as well as any requests for certain meats to come back to the table. It was the standard Brazilian Steakhouse with the buffet of all you can eat from the large salad bar to the unlimited grilled meats. The setup was standard, but the quality was the best in San Antonio. It was also much less crowded than the other Brazilian Steakhouses in San Antonio. In addition to the main meals, also ordered a few desserts and carajillos for an after meal drink. I now have my new go-to Brazilian Steakhouse in San Antonio for the top notch service and high quality food.

Best Brazilian steakhouse Fantastic food service parking Excellent bar Staff are very friendly Would recommend this place to anyone

My wife and I wanted to try Avenida Brazil my birthday dinner because we love the Brazilian steakhouse concept - trying many different cuts and types of meat. We had reservations and were seated promptly. A server came and took our drink order and never returned. About 10 minutes later, a different server came to the table and asked to take our drink order - we told her that we had already placed the order with a different server. About 20 minutes after we placed our initial drink order, I flagged down a third server and explained the situation. He apologized profusely and had our drinks out fairly quickly after that. The salad bar was very typical of any of the Brazilian steakhouses in town - good variety and all appeared fresh and were well plated. I was disappointed in the meat selection and quality. My wife asked for lamb chops and was told they were cooked to order. About 30 minutes later (after we had finished eating and ordered dessert), the lamb chops were delivered to the table. Very frustrating. The restaurant was good sized, but was poorly laid out in my opinion - I felt like walking to and from the table to the salad bar or restroom, it was VERY crowded and very broken up with no ability to walk in a straight line - I felt you had to zig-zag around tables or the salad bar to move around. We both decided that this was a "one and done", as we have had much better service and higher quality of meat at other Brazilian steakhouses in town.

I've been to several Brazilian steakhouses in the city, and I would have to say that this one is at the bottom of my list. While the salad bar was good, and the candied bacon was also delicious, the meats were very hit & miss all in one visit. We tried the bottom sirloin, spicy picaña, shrimp, scallops, filet mignon, wagyu beef, grilled cheese with honey, & lamb. They also offered chicken legs, bacon wrapped chicken, and sausage. Although we asked for our meats medium rare, most of it was dry and overly seasoned. We had to ask for several meats because they just were not coming by our table and it seemed like they kept running out because there were several times when nobody was on the floor offering meat. Our server wasn't the best either, but I feel like they needed more staff which is crazy for it being Fathers Day.. you would think they would over staff for the holiday. We ran out of water several times within our visit. You need water when eating their salty meats. The only thing that really stuck out to me was the grilled cheese with honey, it was so unexpectedly delicious. The restaurant is a little small, but intimate. They do need to dust their light fixtures. Probably won't be back. $62 per person for Father's Day- wasn't great. 20% gratuity for large parties.

Avenida Brazil is a lovely restaurant near 1604 & 281. I immediately noticed that the dual sided salad bar looked smaller than other Brazilian restaurants in town, but the offerings were plentiful, fresh and satisfying. Avenida Brazil actually has more hot items in their salad bar than Im accustomed to, which includes two soups (lobster bisque and tomato basil), black beans, Brazilian rice, empanadas and several other options. I liked that there was a salad bar option, a seafood (salmon and shrimp) plus salad bar as well as a traditional meat, seafood and salad bar buffet dinner option. The salad and soup were so good that I had to stop there on this visit, but I'll be back to try the full menu next time! Service was great and the restaurant had a lovely large chandelier that elevated the look and feel of the restaurant.

The ambiance of the place is so relaxing, love the jazz style music, the fun cute bar with yummy drinks! The food is amazing, my fave is the lobster bisque, all the side are equally as impressive, and the meat.. omg.. mouth watering.. all the staff were nice, they didn't round with the lamb, and did not bring out a lot seafood but still delicious! I love the pineapple at the salad bar but I wish they did offer a hot version that they would walk around and serve.. overall amazing and we will be back

What stood out the most about this steakhouse was the many fish options. You don't normally see fish at a Brazilian steakhouse but I throughly enjoyed the shrimp, salmon, and other dishes. The meats were as to be expected. Cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The service was also good. It was a somewhat small building but was still very inviting with a very balanced seating arrangement and decor. 4 out of 5. Check them out for yourself.

Omg!!! This place is amazing!! We walked in without a reservation for a last-minute date night, and from the moment we arrived we were treated with the BEST service. The food is incredible--so good that I had to stop in the middle of dinner to post this review! The Wagyu steak is phenomenal, the salad bar is so fresh, and everything is full of flavor. But the highlight? I asked for a cucumber martini (which isn't even on their drink menu), and they made it perfectly. It tastes amazing! Honestly... I have to say it: this place might be even better than Chama Gaucha. Highly recommend!

Came to this place for a small Bday dinner for the Mr approximately 5 people. We had reservations set for 5:00pm right when it opened. Upon arrival we checked in (smoothly) we were then seated and provided the round notifications (let's then no if you want more or no meat) they had a good selection of sides we initially went in for the 7meat selection (very lumited meats)but ended up with the full meat since lamb chops was not available. The service was pretty good we had to adk for specific meats and sometimes I felt very rushed in selection. Despite having a no pork sign for a person at the table they still insisted on asking(they just needed be more aware)Be Aware:They come around with top shelf liquor which they neglected to let you know they charge extra for(18.00 for a shot) The food was nice and fresh and at the end they offered a piece of Bday cake. We will return.

I really wanted to like this place more than Brasão and Chama Gaucha since it's priced slightly lower than those two Brazilian restaurants. However, I'd rather pay the premium to get better quality of food and service at those two aforementioned restaurants. Service was good but not superb, and given the price point, I expected there to be better attention to detail. The table ended up with lots of meat "crumbs" that were never brushed off using a crumb collector by any of the wait staff. The salad bar was also very lackluster, with no cheese wheel of parmesano reggiano. I usually look forward to the salad bar to start off a great Brazilian steakhouse experience, but it was only okay. They did have a hot foods station, which I thought was cool, but the hot foods weren't any spectacular either. Onto the meats: you can't go wrong with the classic picanha cut, which was cooked beautifully and at a perfect temperature. The lamb chop was also tender but wasn't nearly as good as the those offered at the other two steakhouses mentioned earlier. The shrimps were also slightly overcooked and weren't as tender as I expected them to be. (These are the three meat items I judge Brazilian steakhouses on. In my opinion, a really good one will excel in all three.) The ambiance was great, and I really liked the set up of the tables and decor. Will I return? Probably not, but I think if you've never been to a Brazilian steakhouse before and want to have a good experience for an affordable price, definitely check this place out for lunch on Fridays! (Only $39pp for ayce, not including tax and tip.)

Our first time here but definitely not the last! An intimate setting for a fabulous Brazilian meal. Lights are low, nice music, even a window side table. Greeted immediately and drinks were out within minutes. They have a cold salad bar and a warm salad bar as well as strolling waiters with beef, chicken, lamb, and sausage plus salmon, scallops, and shrimp! I'll try to describe the scrumptious offerings that my husband or I tasted. They offer a traditional selection of salads including wedge, caprese, caesar, and several others. Hubby said the fresh raw tuna was as good as wagyu beef and the smoked salmon was superb. Terrific selection of cheeses to include a marvelously creamy blue cheese. The warm bar included a delightfully creamy lobster bisque - you could see and taste the lobster - the most wonderful caramelized bacon, oven-roasted pork butt, and more. The meat selections included a super tender lamb steak, lamb chops, beef sirloin, beef picanha, chicken breast wrapped in bacon, chicken thighs, sausage, perfectly seasoned grilled shrimp, garlic sauteed scallops, and a delightful salmon. They brought au gratin potatoes (super creamy cheese), cheese puffs, and fried bananas to the table. Probably even more that I can't recall. Every item was perfect. They offer a dessert menu but neither of us could even think about more to eat. The service was absolutely superb. All wait staff checked regularly to see what else you might want to taste. Drinks were refreshed regularly. The full bar has about 6 seats and looked like a great place to meet friends. They offer an extensive wine list and many creative cocktails. There are about 20 tables plus a private room for about 2 dozen. You don't feel pressed for time or space. The restrooms were super clean and both men's and women's had a baby changing station. Plenty of parking in their lot.

Avenida Brazil is a standout among Brazilian steakhouses because of the variety of grilled meats--especially seafoods--and premium offerings on the salad bar. The restaurant is in a strip mall tucked between a bookstore and a movie theater, but the signage's faux flames will grab your attention. Near the front door there is a window for watching the process of seasoning and grilling the meats over hot coals. The dining room sparkles with chandeliers and pendants. The noise level is pleasant and it's easy to have a conversation. The staff will explain to newbies how to show you're ready for meats, but first you should load up at the salad bar. In addition to the fresh vegetables and fruits, there is a nice selection of seafood like seared tuna, crab salad, and smoked salmon and trout. The grilled meat selections also included fish and seafood like salmon, shrimp, and scallops. The meats, especially the signature picanha and sirloin, had rich seasonings and a smoky aroma from the wood burning grill. The dessert menu offers flan, chocolate cake, cheesecake, creme brûlée, and more. Avenida Brazil is a satisfying steakhouse and salad bar that makes guests feel welcome. It would be a good choice for date night or a special occasion with a group.

My husband and I went to Avenida Brazil for a celebratory dinner. I had been in a cervical collar for over 12 weeks after a bike crash. My neck was set free yesterday, LOL! We have seen the neighborhood restaurant but hadn't the opportunity to try out the new restaurant. What a great excuse to give a new restaurant a try. We arrived shortly after opening on a Friday so we had no trouble being seated despite not having reservations. The restaurant is fairly small but the ambience was nice. Upon entering the restaurant, you see the salad bar. It is a very small salad bar compared to other Brazilian restaurants but they offered smoked fish and Ahi tuna so that was kind of nice. In addition, there was a section with beans, rice, risotto and soup area. They brought cheesy bread and sides of plantain bananas and cheese potatoes. Additionally, servers came by with grilled asparagus and garlic bread. The service was excellent. Our server and management checked on us often. However, despite us still eating our salad and our "card" indicating if we were not ready for protein still being in red, we had a constant flow of servers stopping at our table asking if we wanted the offered meats. I'm sure it was not meant to be pressure on the diner, but we did feel rushed and had to keep turning the servers away. However, there were many different protein options including some that we had not seen at other Brazilian restaurants: Tomahawk steak, scallops, Salmon, etc. We did not sample the Salmon but the Tomahawk steak and scallops were delicious. My favorite protein is normally grilled lamb chops. None were circulating so when asked if we had any special request, I immediately asked for grilled lamb chops, medium rare. They did eventually come out but were a bit over cooked for my personal liking. Additionally, the seasoning was different from what I was accustomed to. I typically enjoy garlicky lamb chops. These lamb chops were just different. I couldn't quite pinpoint the flavoring but I will not reorder. I'm sure it was just my personal palate preference For drinks, my husband ordered one of their special fruity drinks but it was a bit more tart than he was accustomed. The lime taste was a tad strong. To the management's credit, they offered to remake it but we opted to order a substitute drink instead. They really tried to make our experience enjoyable.

I'm a steak lover and it was on my mind when arriving into San Antonio. I opted to go the 'no chain' route because I wanted to try something different that was close to the airport and stumbled upon this place. Per the yelp pics (shout out to all of y'all) I was happy to see they had Salmon, Shrimp AND Scallops as options (say what?!?!?)! I was immediately seated and everyone from the hostess, servers to the manager were extremely nice. The salad/hot bar were pretty standard, but I specifically enjoyed seeing, what looked like, a beef fried rice option which was good. My fave was the lobster bisque (more on that later). 5 stars for sure at this point.... Now on to the steak and meats; overall, not much seasoning on the steaks specifically. All were cooked to my liking but lacked flavor on most selections. The house special was the show eventhough they had plenty of options. The Salmon, good but dry, and the scallops had a weird bitter taste which was very disappointing b/c I love scallops. Now the winner of the night was the shrimp--hands down! Those things were huge, drenched with perfect flavor and when dipped in the lobster bisque, were absolutely amazing. I swear I ate 1.5 sticks of those things! HA. I was too full for dessert, but I'd definitely return just to see if the seasoning on the steaks and the taste of the scallops were an issue on this day only. Overall great choice for the evening.

The restaurant is small and there aren't many options of meat or their sides. We got offered salmon so many times in the hour we were there. The meat we had was mostly good, but some were too salty. Child price is crazy. $22 for a 5 year old. He didn't even eat a full piece of meat and stuck with the free bread rolls. They also don't have refillable fountain drinks. They serve canned sodas and charge for each can. The food wasn't too bad, but I probably wouldn't choose this restaurant over the others I've been to.

This place was amazing, best Brazilian steakhouse in San Antonio. Everything was amazing! They really now how to get you with the salad bar because its so good and they have so many options. The Brazilian beans and empanadas were out of this world. I also really enjoyed the service, the staff were so friendly. They brought me some cheese with honey that was delicious. I loved the sides like the cheesy potatoes, bread, bananas. The lemonade had refills and we didn't even have to ask them just filled out cup. The restaurant was busy but they seated us really quickly, it's a great place to come with family or even on a date.

Wonderful food and service here! My dad is a huge fan of steaks and he really wanted to try it out. I'm not as big of a steak fan but when I came in I saw that their salad bar looked phenomenal so I decided to do the salad bar only. I've gone to other Brazilian steakhouse and this salad bar was the best bar I've ever had. They had so many delicious options other than salad, the empanadas and the black beans were so delicious I kept going back for more. The servers were very attentive and very nice, our server was Luis and Santiago also came by and checked on us and shared details about these locations. Definitely plan on coming back for a date night!

I was impressed with the venue itself! very nice, and clean atmosphere. Food is amazing!! Service if very efficient, and fast pass. If you love food, this is the place to come. Options for everyone! Must try.

We had reservations at 730. We checked in at 720. They were packed! We were not seated until 800. Once seated no one came to our table for over 5 minutes closer to 10 minutes. It was our first time here so we weren't sure what the protocol was. Every place is different. Once our server came by things still got off to a slow start. We were seated 20 minutes before any meat came our way. When they finally got into the groove things were finally better. Food was 8.5 out of 10. The bad: My family loves lamb chops and they were sorely disappointed in the flavor. After the 1st serving none were finished. The also had lamb steak and that was also blah. Same for the salmon, that had no flavor Now the good: The rest of the food was delicious and as I said once the servers got into their groove things were great. They have a pretty good selection of meats, they standard Brazilian Steakhouse meats you'd expect plus ribeye, NY strip steak and Tomahawk steak all 10/10. They also have shrimp, salmon, scallops and lobster bisque. They also served melty cheese with honey soooo good! We'll give it another try in the future and see how it goes. One of the issues we saw was there were at least 3 big tables of 8+ that were done and just sitting there talking. One table stayed almost an hour after we had been there. In other places they discreetly but gently let you know it's time to go after you've stopped ordering/eating. The 2nd issue is the waiting area which was nonexistent/ super tiny especially for how busy it was

The salad bar and drinks were hands down my favorite thing from this restaurant. The salad bar had some delicious salad, deviled eggs, empanadas, pork belly and more to choose from. Such great variety and delicious flavor. The bar was making the drinks quickly and delicious! I highly recommend the smoky old fashioned. I was not too impressed with the selection of meats they offered but the few that they did were not bad in taste. The service here made up for the lack of meat options they had. Service was great from everyone there. Such friendly and attentive people that I would go back to this place because of the great experience I had there. If you get a chance to stop by check out their salad bar which on my opinion was delicious!

Absolutely love this place. The meat quality is delicious. It is not salty and it is cooked so perfectly I couldn't stop eating it. I was so sad to be full. The service is amazing. One thing I will say is that they check on you quite often and tend to your requests very quickly! Another thing that I liked about this place is how intimate the seating area is. The restaurant is not humongous inside so servers can easily attend to you due to the limited seating. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves Brazilian barbecue. The best cuts here were the picanha, bottom sirloin, lamb. There were some other cuts that were so amazing I just can't remember the names of them. I wish they had this place local to me. But this is definitely a must try if you love the churrasco experience. The price was around $37 for the sizzling seven deal we got. They have another full menu for $55. Either one I would say is worth it.

Avenida did a fantastic job. We wanted to try another Brazilian steakhouse and picked this one and we're glad that we did. The salad bar was more robust than many that we have been to. The meats were absolutely wonderful Bartender's and waitresses did a fantastic job and were there for us whenever we needed anything. I would highly recommend anyone trying them out if you love a good Brazilian steakhouse.

If you're craving an endless feast of perfectly grilled meats, this Avenida Brazil Brazilian Steakhouse by Sal e Brasa is the place to be. The servers keep the skewers coming with juicy cuts of beef, lamb, pork, shrimp, scallops and chicken, all carved tableside. The salad bar is fresh and well-stocked. The service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is lovely. A special shout out to Luis Gonzalez and Ramon, whose hospitality and attention to detail were extraordinary. He made the experience even better with his impeccable service. Go hungry, because you'll want to try everything. Definitely worth it for meat lovers!

We have been going to a bunch of the Brazilian steakhouses to find our favorite. Avenida is new, it was our friends birthday so we were picking up the bill. All in all with just sodas, tea and desserts. The bill was over $$300 for 4 of us plus add a 20% tip. The restaurant is beautiful. Our waiter stopped coming to our table and it took 41 minutes to get a coke. A manager saved the day and went to get it. They were packed but there was plenty of staff. The salad bar was great but a lot of it was not refilled. The Lobster Bisque soup was a huge highlight. It was really good. When we went back for another small bowl, it was dredges. We were in a back room and the staff with meat barely came back to us. Our friend is allergic to cow, so we kept asking for scallops and lamb. We never saw them. The chicken was good and the ribeye was good but the other meat was lacking in flavor. I personally ate avocados, grilled pineapple that was incredible and not much else. Fresh cut tomatoes were garnish on everything and I am personally allergic and so is our daughter. The staff other than our male waiter were really kind and great. None of us would go back. They have a lot of kinks to work out

Good restaurant for a meal as the serving staff is superb, but I'd avoid having an event here. After considering multiple Brazilian steakhouses in San Antonio, we decided to go with Avenida for our reception. The short story is that the event coordinator "A", made multiple promises at the first several meetings including use of multiple spaces within the venue. After we signed the agreement she then apologies that we are no longer able to use any of those spaces. She ask failed to disclose gratuity charges for any additional service she provides. While this may be common sense to the service industry, it should be disclosed to consumers as we don't plan events on the regular. When we involved the owner, he was mildly empathetic but did not once offer an apology and simply stated that she does not have experience in event planning. He then proceeded to disregarded our concern by suggesting that he wouldn't have that set up that way if it was his event. Needless to say, because of the non transparency, we had to revisit the seating arrangement, decoration, and floor plan multiple times during the planning process. The male restaurant manager did take over on the day of the reception and was competent. However, the damage was done and could've been avoided if Avenida was transparent and hired a competent event planner. I'd consider going back for a meal, but never again would I hold an event here nor enter another contract with this company. I would also deter any family, friends, or colleague from holding an event here.

Great assortment of meats. Good offering of some seafood dishes, like shrimp and salmon. The best most attentive service from the waiter Staff. Very updated decor. Elegant interior. Unique salad bar with assortments not found in some of the other Brazilian Steak House. Good beginnings with lobster bisque and tomato bisque soup. Very accommodating and accepting special requests for seating. Provided special preparation of certain meats to the individuals liking. Accommodated special seating request.

This is such a nice Brazilian Steakhouse. They staff is friendly and efficient. They come right away with table service and whatever you need. The salad bar is full stocked and beautifully displayed. They come right ambiance is very nice. I could see you going for special occasions because if the price or on a date. However maybe not a first date because of the dim lighting and who wants to be stuffed to the brim. But what a great place to visit and have a special dinner with others or even by yourself. Go check this place out.

I participated in a business meeting at Avenida Brazil and had there Buffett. The location is nice, and had some great upbeat contemporary jazzy music playing. The staff were very nice and attentive. The service was very good with plenty of staff working to take care of customers. There is a large salad bar the comes with the meal. Lots of great selections on the salad bar. You truly can make a meal just of the salad bar.... The sides that came with the main course was potatoes au gratin and caramelized bananas. The potatos was extremely rich (more than I like) and the bananas were amazing!!!! Now the meat. I tried every meat that came out. Beef, shrimp, chicken, and more .. the meat was my biggest let down. It had a mild grilled taste but lacked season in my opinion. It was not bad at all l, but just lacked spices for my taste.

We had a great dinner tonight at Avenida. First off, the service is incredible. We knew better, but still made a rookie mistake and ate too much off of the salad bar. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. The lobster bisque is one of the best in town. Every cut of meat and seafood we had was top notch. Everything was cooked perfectly and so flavorful. Unlike other Churrasco's we have been to, Avenida includes seafood which is a nice change. We will be back!

Thank you to Culinaria Restaurant Weeks for letting us know about this new Brazilian Churrascaria Steakhouse. We tried it for Sunday brunch and it was amazing. There is so much food, I found it impossible try everything. Brunch included an omelette and waffle station and bacon. Hot items on the buffet also included a creamy lobster bisque, rice & beans, and empanadas! The salad bar was plentiful with a huge variety of salads and cheeses. There was even fried garlic. Yum!! We enjoyed the flavor of the grilled pineapple (but would prefer it hot). A fantastic addition you don't find at many similar restaurants was a tasty lemon herb salmon, grilled shrimp and garlicky scallops served prior to and throughout the meat service. They were all so good and a nice alternative to the heavy meats. They also brought huge asparagus spears around to your table in addition to keeping au gratin potatoes and caramelized bananas stocked on the table. The meats were all flavorful, tender and good quality. They even had tomahawk steak! Mimosas on Sunday brunch are $5 a piece and they had a wide selection of flavors. We've been a fan of another churrascaria in town, but this has a wider selection of offerings and was $10 cheaper. We also recognized some of our favorite employees from the other place who we were surprised had moved here. They were so friendly and helpful. Service was a little slower keeping up with the meats, but on the other hand, we felt very relaxed and did not feel they were rushing us out. It was a wonderful experience, and we can't wait to go back!

Manager Aldison & his team of servers are always providing great service. Large dining area is big enough to accommodate many Customers & Ive never had to wait for a table

It's a pricey meal but i would highly recommend it for special occasions. I liked the variety of meats and seafood- my favorites were the scallop and filet mignon. Some of them were a bit dry or overcooked. The salad bar was also well stocked and I appreciated all the variety- wish the grilled pineapple was more fresh though. The service was incredible and the staff were super attentive. If I was in town, I'd come back again!

As a First time trying this restaurant it wasn't bad. Food: Once it started rolling it came quick. I loved the season/marinade that was on the meats. My fav were the lamb chops, bacon wrapped chicken breast & shrimp (sorry. ate too fast & didn't get any pics because I didn't eat all-day to save enough room for this dinner). ‍ The salad bar was a bit limited but the rice near the salad bar was good. Service: all the servers were really nice & pleasant. We only had one that seemed a bit lost & kept forgetting to ask the whole table if they needed anything. (It became a running joke but the end of the night). I also had to ask to keep my bottle of wine chilled. He just sat it on the table after he opened it. Why did I have to ask for that again? Is that not a common courtesy? Ambiance: Dim lights (which I don't mind), cozy & quaint. Not too loud as we were seated in a more private area. I may attempt to try again in the future but, no time soon.

This restaurant was definitely cozy in terms of atmosphere. Service was quick to the tables and the servers were very attentive to the next round of meats. Everything tasted amazing. Every cut was seasoned well and at a great temperature. I definitely enjoyed the cuts of lamb. The salmon was definitely a welcomed surprise.

I ate here with my brother today and as soon as we got there I was greeted and had my chair pulled out for me i felt welcomed the whole time the restaurant is clean the food is fresh delicious hot and service is fast and the price is insane for what you get I work at j prime and this service is top notch

Great service and staff. Food was good but salad bar could be better with more options, but meat is what you go for.

Our 2nd time here. Food, service and ambiance was superb! Ramon, Gloria, Luis, Adilson along with other staff, we do not their names, worked great! The staff actually luv their jobs! Salad bar has a small hot bar is like nothing we have at any other Brazil Steakhouse! Seafood choices also with the other protein options. And the bread, delish! Review the menu for drink choices also.

Service by Ramon is great!!! Food is awesome! The vibe works!!! A must do with family!

I didn't think I'd ever say this but Avenida is better than Chama Gaucha and Texas De Brazil. It's about $15 cheaper, offers more selection, and isn't a large place so they can keep the food quality under control.

Great food with the meat variations and flavors you expect with a high quality churrasqueria. The service was amazing and accommodating. Asked us what our favorite cuts and temperatures are and made sure we tasted all the good stuff. If you're a pescatarian you can do the seafood option without paying the price of the meats. One of the main reasons I will be back again is the ambiance. I loved the smooth music and decor, we were actually able to hear each other at the table and have a great meal and celebration. Ciapirinha drink is a must with the fresh muddled minty/pinapply/passion fruity flavors. So good- excuse the half finished drink in photo we chugged that down pretty fast yum

Came to enjoy the grand opening and was not disappointed. The service as soon as we walked in the door was extra attentive and personable. Everyone was so friendly and enthusiastic. The restaurant was clean and well-organized. The decor is a fine dining vibe without the stuffy attitude. Now to the food. The salad bar has a variety of fresh items to try including ahi tuna, ceviche, assorted cheeses, and salad options. They also have rice, beans, empanadas, and even caramelized bacon. The bacon is so good. Make sure to try it. Now, for the entrees, there is something for everyone. There is shrimp, scallops, different cuts of beef, lamb, chicken, and pork sausage. I enjoyed the variety and quality of the cuts. Everything was seasoned well, and the portions were reasonably per cut. You can get full quickly if you do not pace yourself. The sides were yummy because instead of regular mashed potatoes like the other Brazilian steakhouses, they serve au gratin potatoes. They were great. You will not be disappointed, and I am glad this casual but upscale restaurant moved into the neighborhood. Unfortunately, I did not get any pictures of my plates because I did not want to show y'all how greedy I was. Lol

We had a reservation and were seated right away. The service was top notch during the whole meal. The salad bar has a great selection to include multiple different cheeses, salads, cold cuts and smoked salmon. They also have lobster bisque and empanadas. In addition to the different usual cuts of meats, they also serve shrimps, salmon and scallops which are all well cooked and seasoned. A great meal to be had for sure.

The service is just as great when compared to many of their close competitors within the area, honestly, I would say it is even better! I noted an issue with the staff and they quickly fixed the cause and were so prompt about it all. I truly appreciated it. I will note that the meat here is not as heavily seasoned as compared to other Brazilian steakhouses, but I actually preferred the food this way. There are definitely enough accommodations to season the meat yourself however you'd like. Their selection is definitely my favorite as they incorporate seafood into their menu! I love the salmon. I do think their salad bar selection may be smaller, but that doesn't lose points for the establishment in my opinion. Will be back sooner than later!

Ive always been a fan of Chama Gaucha, however, I recently had the pleasure of dining at Avenida Brasil, and I must say, it exceeded all expectations. From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for an incredible dining experience. The service was top-notch--attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. The servers made sure our table was well taken care of, constantly bringing out a delicious variety of perfectly cooked meats. The picanha, in particular, was incredibly flavorful and juicy, and the bacon-wrapped chicken was an absolute delight. Beyond the meats, the salad bar was fresh and well-stocked with a great selection of sides and traditional Brazilian dishes. The cheese bread was addictive, and the grilled pineapple added a sweet, refreshing touch to the meal. If you're looking for an authentic Brazilian steakhouse experience, Avenida Brazil is the place to go. The quality, service, and atmosphere make it worth every penny. I can't wait to return! Bottom line is this place is underrated and I have to say I now prefer this place over Chama Gaucha

Because of it being Valentines Day, I wanted to take my wife out to a nice restaurant. We both like Brazilian Steakhouses, but wanted to give a new one a shot. When we got there, we were seated and offered our drinks. Everything was very good. I even told my wife that I thought this was one of the better ones we had been to. That was until we ordered the bacon wrapped chicken and the salmon. My wife tried the salmon and said it was completely dried out. She could not even try to finish it. When we were served bacon wrapped chicken, my wife and I tried it, then realized it was still very raw in the inside. If I were to compare it to a steak, I would say medium rare at best. I notified the waitress and even showed it to her. She then removed the chicken and I seen her notify someone else who looked to possibly be the manager. Notl one after, i began to have stomach problems and my wife started feeling nauseous too. Because of that, we did not feel like eating anymore and wanted to leave. It was a busy night, of course, but it took a while for us to be able to stop a waitress for our check and to get it. When we received our check, my wife and I were shocked to see the price. Because of it being Valentines Day, they not only raised the price of the meal to roughly 1.5% of the regular price, but also automatically placed a 20% gratuity onto the check. Neither my wife or I had seen anywhere on their website that they would raise the price due to it beinf a "holiday" nor seen the automatic gratuity charge on the site. I understand its a busy night and want to make money, but automatically doing this is a total turnoff. We then paid and left. Not once did a manager come up to us and apologize for the chicken being very raw, not offer us a discount, offer us to come back for a better experience on a different night, a free dessert, nothing. Even just a manager coming up to us and stating they were very sorry for the chicken would have made a little difference. That tells me either management is not worried about the customers, scared to admit fault, or both. Less to say, our Valentines Day was completely ruined from that point on. All night, my wife and I were sick. That is why I had to wait until this morning to write this review. I would have given this place a much better review if it were not for the raw chicken, management apologizing somehow, and if there was some notice about the increase of price for the holiday night. Because of this, I felt customers should possibly see this review so they know of the overall experience. The reason for the lowing of score is this: -2 stars for the raw chicken (there is no excuse for any raw meat at a restaurant when there's meat thermometers, chefs who should know how to cook and know cooking times, and checking the meat before serving it). -1 star (for lack of management not apologizing somehow and also no notification for the increase of price for food). Total rating: 2/5 star experience.

Yea yea yea yea mudda fuc'ing yes!!!! If you like Brazilian BBQ then you'd be fine at any o'l place. But if you Love Brazilian BBQand know whats up with the ins and outs, the. This place has it all. Those who know know that Avenida stands out from all the rest of the crap out there. If you come here, then everything else is mediocre, trust me.

Just got to Chama gaucho you had to pay extra to get decent proteins and then it just comes out on a white cutting board sauce, containers or plastic not worth the money. The service is good and ambience is good but the food not so much.

New place! Location is stone oak. Employees are amazing, food is Quality! My wife and I love it. Also great for special occasions!

My family loved the salad bar and options. I enjoyed that they had shrimp and salmon as options. The space is a bit tight and doesn't provide that excitement from being able to see everyone running around with the different meats. Service was ok. They were very nice don't get me wrong but if comparing to their competitors, they have some work to do. Pricing was in line, which is expensive to be honest however you should know this going in. Overall, it's a decent option to change up your Brazilian steakhouse experience.

The food is the best! I have been twice so far and can't wait to continue to go back! Service is also very top notch! Can't go wrong with this place!
