Avenida Brazil Churrascaria Steakhouse - Southwest Houston

This place was exceptional. I brought my husband for his birthday brunch, and every staff member we encountered was friendly, personable, and professional. They were attentive, social, just all around great and friendly service. We've been to other Brazilian Steakhouses, but so far this one has been the most enjoyable. Will definitely come back!

I loved it way more than I thought I would. The atmosphere outside pales in comparison to the inside. It's clean, fancy and the staff is phenomenal. I enjoyed it so much i didn't even get a chance to take photos of the delicious pieces of meat that came flying out of the kitchen, each juicy and full of flavor. Even the salad bar was fresh and full of options- which I did manage to snap a photo of. If I could afford to eat here more often, I would, without a doubt. Take your family, friends, a date. It's great for all occasions.

Avenida was the perfect place to celebrate our 24th wedding anniversary. We chose them over many other Houston restaurants because the service, ambience, and wait staff are superb! The food was great too! However, I did not enjoy the seasoning on the lamb:(

The experience was phenomenal. Our waiter was so attentive, friendly, welcoming, and funny. My husband and I invited our son and his girlfriend, and my in law’s to celebrate my son’s 21st birthday. We all loved the food. We enjoyed the atmosphere and company. I recommend this place. It was very clean, nice, and well maintained.

Very disappointing experience, we have been going to the Avenida Brazil over at Bay Area and decided to visit this one since we thought it would be pretty much the same, it was not the same at ALL, first of I cannot complain about the service, the waiters where nice and they regularly checked on us while not exceeding in their service, however the food looked old and smelled like it had expired, everything over at the salad bar looked old like it had been sitting there for a day or two, the food tasted old like it was about the expire, the steak was burnt and the shrimp and salmon tasted very unseasoned and tasted expired, I sat down to eat my salad just to try and see if it was any good but then I found a fly right on my piece of lettuce, the Pão de quejio (cheese bread) looked old and sad I tasted it and it tasted like it had been heated up several times, please do not go to this unless you want to spend the rest of the night in the bathroom and waste a lot of money, go to the Avenida Brazil in Bay Area Webster, everything is better there, the food, the service, the atmosphere, even the meat cuts are better, this was very disappointing and I hope this review makes them at least try to better their food.

This was a graduation celebration. The event person recommended a private dining room and it was perfect. We had our own server and they presented our cake on a nice stand for pictures before they served it. The food was great too!

Overall great. It was a semi-welcoming experience. We were sat pretty promptly with a reservation ahead. Drink menu was very wide and flavorful. We ordered a wine and tropical drink. There was too much fruit and ice in the tropical drink so it was a little hard to drink through the straw. Salad bar had a nice selection. Wish that there were more greens and fruit options. There was no rice but rice was served at the table. Meats. We were asked about 5/6 Meats before the gauchos started coming around. We were presented with rice, potatoes and plantains before the Meats arrived. The Meats were cooked wonderfully. We weren't the biggest fan of the salmon and did not true shrimp due to an allergy but the Meats were cooked as needed/asked. Our main server was a hit or miss bc she seemed like she was too invested with the larger party who spoke her native language. Overall, we had a great dinner and got to celebrate our anniversary.

We went out to celebrate a joyous occasion and lucked up-it was Restaurant Week(s). Which limited our meat selection a bit but everything was delicious and seasoned well! The salad bar, had decent selections and did its job by filling us up far too quick. Wish I knew the lemonade recipe-we were non-alcoholic tonight. Great place for hungry young men with great appetites!! Staff was outstanding.

This place is super, super, super! The service is so excellent, the entire staff works as efficient as a NASCAR pit crew! Swift, professional, kind, and very accommodating. The food is high quality, of course. I LOVE the salmon and potato dishes. All of the steak has great flavor and is juicy.

The family spent my wife's birthday here on a Friday night. They have a smallish salad bar and the usual rotation of meats. Like most Brazilian steak houses they load you up with beef and pork and save the chicken and seafood for last. We had to ask for these, which was a bit disappointing but we had fun with it so no biggie. Everything was absolutely delicious and the family thoroughly enjoyed it.

I was treated to dinner by my friend Tri D. We made an early reservation on a Friday evening, but I don't think it was necessary. It wasn't terribly busy in the restaurant when we first arrived, however it picked up during the dinner rush. Our server (Tanya) was very sweet and went over the menu and the Churasscaria concept. Before we made our way to the salad bar, the staff brought over fries and cheese bread which I enjoyed. We declined the plantains, however we did have the Au Gratin potatoes later on which were good. The salad bar had some nice options, however some of the food was extremely bland. I love asparagus and deviled eggs and was excited to see them on the salad bar. The presentation was beautiful, however both lacked flavor. I enjoyed the smoked salmon and fresh veggies. The flavor of the candied bacon was delicious, but it was so crunchy that I thought I was going to chip my tooth when I bit into it. The meats were also hit or miss. The Wagyu (prepared medium) was really good and was one of my favorite meats that I sampled. I also enjoyed the sausage, and the Picanha. The salmon was seasoned well, but it was overcooked for my preference. The chicken was okay, but I didn't care for the BBQ sauce that was on it. I had a glass of Pinot Grigio which I enjoyed. A staff member came by and started hounding us about trying some of the cocktails. He raved about the Carajillo. I love a good Carajillo, but I literally had a full glass of wine. My friend had just ordered a mango margarita (which he enjoyed), so we weren't interested in ordering any other drinks at that moment. The staff was nice but they were overly attentive. I know they're just doing their job, but it was too much. They kept interrupting our conversation and there were multiple times when I lost my train of thought. Additionally, the gauchos kept coming over even when the disks were turned to red which defeats the purpose. I've been to churrascarias before and this experience fell short. It wasn't terrible, but it certainly could have been better.

I have to be honest, the food wasn't the best but it was good enough for me to return again. 3 stars is for the food but I'll give it one more star because the service was very friendly & accommodating. My friend and I had a reservation on Friday at 6pm. Once we entered we were seated right away and our server Tanya came by to introduce herself & show how everything is set up. They started up by bringing us some French fries & Bread. The fries were cold and tasted average, the bread however was very good. Warm, soft, fluffy and buttery. Tanya went ahead and introduced us to the salad bar. Not gonna lie, I was impressed with the amount of items that was offered at the salad station. They had Mac & cheese, garlic rice, shrimp risotto, smoked salmon/tuna/trout, deviled eggs, candid bacon, empanadas & lots more. My caesar salad was fresh but the dressing was a little too acidic for me. The candid bacon was cooked too much for my liking. The deviled eggs were bland and didn't have any salt nor any mustard taste to it. So they have a coaster at the table that says, if you want them to bring meats to your table; flip it to green & if you're good at the moment flip it over to red. They brought out variety of meats and I dont remember some of what I got but my favorite was the Wagyu steak. It was tendered, cooked to perfection & seasoned perfectly. The other steaks that I tried were just okay and not the best of quality. I also got to try their grilled salmon and it was cooked to hell. It wasn't flaky nor glistening & a bit dry too. They seasoned the fish with lemon pepper seasoning (not my favorite for fish). The sausage was juicy and very good. The shrimp was cooked just fine and didn't miss out on any seasoning. My friend ordered some wine and she seems to enjoy it. I got their frozen mango margarita. Wow, it was delicious. I can tell that it wasn't that artificial mango and it was fresh and blended in-house. The drink itself wasn't the strongest but it definitely caught up to me once I finished it, gave me a slight buzz. Overall, the food was decent, not great but I'll definitely come back since the service was amazing, thanks Tanya. I will say that I barely could have a conversation with my friend because different servers kept coming up every 2 minutes to see how we were doing. I'm not tripping about it but it was OD accommodating. But you know what? They're just doing their job so I ain't mad at cha. This place is a great spot to dine with your friends or for a first date since it's very quiet inside. There's no loud music or people acting crazy so you definitely will have a nice chill time there. Dinner AYCE is 63 dollars that comes with a salad bar & all the meats that they bring around. Dessert is sold separately. Will I come back? Yes.

Excellent food and service. Though the meats are the star of the show, the salad bar and desserts were also excellent.

My family and I decided to come here for a Churrasco experience and they had the sizzling seven menu available which was seven selected meats for $37 per person. Unfortunately, they do not have any kids pricing so kids will be priced at the default $37 per person as well. Food quality was amazing and meats were all cooked pretty much perfectly and really high-quality. I frequent photo ciao many times and I do think that this place tops Fogo in terms of meat quality, and the salad bar. The salad bar also had many options of seafood, including Ahi tuna, salmon poke, smoked salmon, and smoked trout, and even a lobster bisque, which were really nice options to have a alongside my Brazilian barbecue. Service was quick and attentive, we didn't really have to wait long for needs to come around and if you had a request, they would bring it around ASAP. There were lots of parking available as well, and the ambience of the location was intimate, which I really enjoyed because Fogo tends to be very big which makes it slower for the meats to make its way around . I'm from Socal and we don't have this chain over there, so I'm hoping one day it can make its way over because I would definitely frequent this more than fogo!

I've come here twice and both times have been amazing. That salad bar is amazing, I love the variety of food rom the black beans, empanadas, salads, etc. It's so hard not to get full at the salad bar. I also love all the sides. The bread is amazing, and so are the potatoes, and fried banana. I love that they have meat and sea food. It's really good and they have such a big variety of food. The staff comes really often to give you more. They have private rooms where you can do events. One of my fiends did a small wedding reception here and the staff was extremely kind and attentive and it turned out great. I was full for almost 2 days after eating here! My fav Brazilian steakhouse in San Antonio!

Anytime we have birthday celebrations, this is our go to. Always enjoy the service and the quality of food they serve. Place is always clean and maintained. Ribeye, picanha and shrimp are my favorites. Love the asparagus at the bar. Crème brûlée is also the go to dessert every time. Make sure you come hungry and pace yourself lol. Thank you for always giving us a wonderful experience.

Just got back from a graduation lunch - they put us in a private room so we could celebrate on our own with a dedicated waiter. Salad bar is fine, lots of ceviche in addition to the usual stuff. And the meat was great. It's our go to place for special occasions.

I took my parents here for their 45th anniversary. It was my first time, but my parents had been before. They actually recommended the establishment. We went on a Sunday so they had made to order waffles available for brunch. My kids love waffles so I was excited about that. I also appreciated in addition to the salad bar they had other kid friendly items such as Mac and cheese, nuggets, white rice and more. The waiters were very attentive and the meat kept coming. My favorite dishes were the shrimp, pichana, and lobster bisque. When I eat at a Brazilian steak I always order caprihana. Theirs did not disappoint. The restaurant is well decorated and modern. I will definitely be back.

Top quality meats here. From beef to lamb Chops everything is good. Salad bar and soups here are very good too. Nice clean restaurant, very high quality service.

After experiencing some other churrascarias, it's obvious to me this is one of my favorites now. Some of the things that have spoiled me are their specialty cheese and seafood with salmon and shrimp being offered by the gauchos. You can invite your pescatarian and vegetarian friends here for dinner! I tried the cheese with honey earlier this week and that was an experience. Like, why have I been denied the cheese all this time? I've also had their salad bar only meal and its actually oddly filling. Service every time here is good or amazing, which to me is great, because that means the service here is consistent. This week we were here to celebrate our anniversary and everyone was so kind, helpful, and providing great service to me and all of the other tables, when I started people watching. That really impressed me, because there were no grumpy people and everyone was getting the same level of service, including the larger groups...which some churrascarias struggle with. I've been here for birthday parties and big social groups in the private room. You have to have a certain set of sales, as a heads up. My friend that reserved the private room had to make the guests make up the difference. I wasn't sure whether to be frustrated with her or her lame friends for not showing up. You can reserve for a large group, so if you have lame friends that will bounce, just make a reservation not reserve the private room. If you do reserve the private room it is a long rectangular room that is private as you can close it off, but it's glass, so you can still see outside. Service in that room is always top notch. Alcohol is good based, though I'm not much of a drinker in restaurants, but all my friends that do are always happy and buzzed. I've had maybe 1 or 2 mixed drinks here and they were good. Salad bar, still great. Still awesome. Cheese bread, still awesome. All the hot sides, great! They are also involved in the community. I was at the Empty Bowls Fort Bend fundraiser there, and they were there supporting the event. I really thought highly of the restaurants that bothered to show up. My anniversary dinner this week, sort of sold me on the idea that this restaurant is a favorite place of mine and that I love it here. I even got a free dessert! I didn't even ask for that! I had a great anniversary dinner with my love and found foodie love, as I acknowledged that this place was a favorite. Love it. Try it. It's all worth it!

Dining experience on Thanksgiving was a wonderful one. We had excellent service great food. The customer service was excellent. Special shout out to Demetrius Watson at the Friendswood location. He went above and beyond and made excellent drinks.

A year later update, we still love Avenida and it's our go to restaurant to bring family and friends. We enjoyed this restaurant so much that I had my wedding reception here! Katie and Eric were amazing in planning and hosting. The Rio room was perfect for our "small wedding" party of 50! If you ever need a space to host your event here, I highly recommend it!

I went here for my birthday last weekend and the food is amazing! I have been to Fogo and Texas De Brazil and this place is as good if. It better, if you like Brazilian style steakhouse's. It is a. It pricey at $60 for all you can eat, but the Shrimp and Scallops that were part of this were amazing addition to what I am used to getting at these restaurants. The meats were all great quality cuts, the salad bar was good, and I would highly recommend the Whistle Pig Maple Old Fashion if you like bourbon or old fashion. All in all...this will be our new family milestone restaurant for birthdays, anniversaries, and celebrations.

The quality of the meat and even the salad bar stuff is very good. It's definitely better than fogo. The cheesecake we had was also good. The only issue I had was with different servers talking to me at the same time.

The baby beef was melt in your mouth good. But the bread was surprising and irresistible. The salad bar had everything you could want or imagine. Make sure you're hungry when you go. Can't wait to visit again. And our server was a delight. She was attentive without hovering.

Food was good . Atmosphere was great and service was perfect . Tanya and her team members were doing an excellent job did not disappoint not one bit Will definitely recommend the place and her service to everyone

This is a long overdue review concerning events, as we all know the food here is delicious, well cooked, with plenty of variety. I chose this restaurant as my dental school graduation dinner and the person in charge of parties was Katie Aguirre - I was not able to meet her in person but communicated through phone and email. She is responsive, accommodating, sweet, and professional! The Steakhouse has a couple of rooms for private parties depending on size and they do have a $ minimum which varies for each room. I was able to see each room in person before choosing, as they all have different layouts. For my party, I had planned for 28 people and had surprise extra guests, meaning the restaurant had to accommodate more people than intended. They did a fabulous job adjusting the chairs and tables so that everyone fit, even though I had a whole section displaying graduation regalia, gifts, signage, and flowers! They were responsive the day of the event as I had to let them know at the last minute what time my graduation ceremony ended (the school gave me an estimated time range) and to let them know a few friends would help me set up decor and they ensured my guests were NOT in the room until ready, as there were some earlybirds. Additionally, everyone involved was understanding and professional as 1. they asked me what is considered ok to serve for the full bar drink package I chose (for example, asking me before service started what is ok to order and what is not ok to order - there was no sneaky guest ordering a super expensive champagne bottle haha) 1.5 the drinks were strong, which I know a lot of my guests appreciated and were quite a fan of 2. They were able to explain the menu and ordering process despite some language and confusion barriers with my guests, as there were some guests who have never been to a brazilian steakhouse before 3. They were quick and efficient with the rounds and variety of food, drinks, plates, refills etc 4. Great at timing when to bring the cake, allowing for photos, and serving it 5. The fact that the cake was dropped off earlier in the day by a local baker, communication and storage of cake was amazing 6. The service by everyone working was A+! They managed to appease grumpy guests (lol family reunions can be stressful and overwhelming) and I believe because of the service, food, and vibe the restaurant provided, all of my guests had a great time and left happy + full! They did such a great job with delicious food that I would not hesitate to book them again for anything - whether it be a wedding related event, birthday, anniversary, or work event.

Service terrible. Made reservations for Mother's Day, showed up on time just to watch them give away tables to walk in's. Waited over 30 minutes to get seated, which I feel is super unprofessional especially on a busy day. I honestly don't know what the point of a reservation if you get written down on the same list as walk in's. I literally watched them write my name down on the walk in list. Might as well just not have a reservation system at that point. Food was mediocre and was not worth the terrible service/hospitality.

Was delicious!!! Would absolutely go back. Wonderful service, food and drinks. Came w my husband and we had a wonderful time. No complaints at all.

I understand the price is affordable for all you can eat meat. But if you are eating insects in your food it's not worth it. Me and my husband made this place our date place, we became regulars until we found a big a spider/cricket not clear because it was cooked and as soon as I mentioned to the server he took the plate so fast, he came back and he said he can give us dessert to go for free to compensate for this incident knowing that the dessert is included in the menu anyway!!!! We were in shock how he wanted to fix the problem by giving us more food while we still sick looking at 1 inch spider in the risotto plate. He said that they just had a pest control the day before that's probably why that insect ended up in the risotto, which made it even worse because not we're not only having an insect in the food we're having a poisoned insect We called Fort Bend County Environmental Health Department and the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) and we are going to take this seriously and do our best to make sure they take customers health and hygiene seriously.

Where to start... I have to say I'm not into this style of food any more. Sadly, it's a young person game these days! ;). If you can eat a lot of meat and your not afraid of the price tag then this is your place. The food was well prepared and flavorful. For dinner there was a huge variety as well as a nice little salad bar that included ceviche of which I'm a big fan. If you're familiar with this style of food service then you'll appreciate the rapid pace at which the meat is brought to your table. I was a bit overwhelmed. Too many choices too fast. The meats served were always in a rush and at least one server seemed a bit agitated and less than happy to be serving us. Sorry at this price tag, I expect you to have a smile that could cure cancer! As to the ambiance, if you have family members who are hard of hearing don't expect to have an easy time conversing. While there wasn't any loud music something about the room made it hard to hear each other. But I will say this, the decor was very pleasant. In conclusion, I would have given at least a three and a half star but that's not an option. Baby Beef, Bottom Sirloin, Ceviche, Fried Bananas, Lamb Chops, Potatoes Au Gratin, Steak House.

The real star of the show here are the Caipirinhas. They make them to perfection here! Meat is good and the options in the salad bar are ok. Service is spectacular!

Fantastic in every way. The Staff is very attentive, the choices plata all on point and the ambience is great. Will definitely be back

Really good food and fast service. The drinks were great and the service was nice. It was a holiday and I was still provided with great service

Went here for lunch on a Sunday to celebrate my son's birthday. Service was impeccable, almost overkill. I chose to just have the salad bar because it was way enough food for me. Everything on it was delicious, especially the asparagus, meats and lobster bisque. The cheese popovers were fantastic. My son and his wife had all the meats and said they were delicious! Better than the larger chains. They offered my son a birthday dessert of Crème Brûlée that was amazing! Only hitch in the whole thing was when the bill came and they charged me for all the meat when I clearly had none. Never turned the red card to green. Excellent dining experience!!!

The food was GREAT and the meat is NOT salty compared to other Brazillian restaurants most is EXCELLENT!!! The women who were with me were mostly seniors. Can't complain about the service! Before all this, I was looking for a place where i can meet a few of my colleagues to discuss about work. I found on open table Avenida Brazil steakhouse to have Thursday night as Ladie's night, Wednesday night as Men's night. $37 per person for ladie's night. Well, why not! But when we got there, we were told ladie's night is Wednesday night. when i got home i looked up their website on open table and the day for ladies night is now missing, but men's night was changed over to thursday night. We were already having dinner so i let it go since the meat was not salty and salad bar was excellent! I told our waiter to make sure they fix it on open table, but they didn't honor what i saw on open table. i didn't take photo of what i saw they advertised on open table not knowing this was going to happen. i didn't think to access open table on my phone, i got busy with work related questions. Overall, i would still go back since this is a restaurant and it is the food primarily that we all go to restaurant for.

Excellent food service and cleanness. you can not beat the prices for the quality and amount of food you receive. A must stop.

We had an amazing Mother's Day brunch at Avenida. Service was awesome and food was delicious. Salad bar and desserts were great in addition the succulent grilled meats!

I love meeting my GFs here once a month on Wednesdays. It's ladies night and we get a discount. The owner is a little bothered when you ask for A1. But other than that the food is delicious.

Food was delicious, service was good can't beat the selection, shrimp, salmon, scallops, pork sausage, then the various beef selections.

Delish, fresh and well seasoned everything! This place has way more meat and seafood selections than other Brazilian restaurants I've been to. Yum!

Made reservations a few days before for my sisters birthday dinner because my brother was raving about how good this place was, so we had to try it out! First impressions: Super nice inside! It's fast paced, bustling service, which is great for a Brazilian steakhouse. Service: Service was top notch! They cater to you like you're royalty here. Water: filled. Meats: unending. Stomachs: satisfied! They also provide bread and other sides as well, which is amazing. Food: Picanna was amazing, I could've eaten that the whole day! But I did try everything else as well. You will love the smoked sausage, lamb, house special and tons of other meats in their selection! And if you don't like meat, there's seafood options for you! I will definitely be back for special occasions, or even Houston restaurant week. This restaurant is a new found favorite for service and quality food!

This restaurant is amazing. It's the finest Brazilian Steak House we've every visited. The staff and manager/executive chef gave incredible service. You will be impressed. The meat is perfect. Great cocktails. The wait staff moved the entire time we were there. We didn't have to wait for anything.

Service was okay but the number of different meats served and rotation/availability is few & far in between. Salad/soup/cold cuts bar is good. Moving on & will keep looking.

I came here for the $25 Friday HRW lunch offer (AYCE picanha cut included). I think this was a really great deal. While the meats were only alright tasting just salty without any other seasoning (I've had better) and often overcooked, the sides were incredible. The cheesy bread was light and airy and the plaintains and pineapples were sweet and complex. The lobster bisque was the star of the show - creamy with lots of seafood! There was also a salmon ceviche in the salad bar which was decent. Overall, the steak was good but not amazing but the sides were definitely worth coming for the $25 lunch. We also came close to 2 pm and the last rounds of meat were at around 2:45. The salad bar closed at 2:30 (so definitely come earlier than us). However the service was good and the staff made sure we got the cuts of meat we wanted before the kitchen closed. They also charged an automatic 18% gratuity (something to keep in mind). And the restroom wasn't terrible but definitely needed to be tidied up.

Omg if you don't try the brûlée's bacon in the salad bar, we can't be friends. I totally would have bought a pound of it to take home to snack on if I could. Service was fantastic. I love that there are multiple servers for a section so you never have to search for someone when you need something.

Exceptional dining! Hidden gem in The Woodlands. We love going to this restaurant. The service and food an amazing! We will keep coming back!

Specifically drove from KATY to this location yesterday as I have been here before multiple times. Even before they moved to this location I have visited frequently... After driving 45min and passing many other brazilian steakhouses, I walk in and stand at the counter with my 7yr old son. Not a SINGLE soul walks up or says a word. I was beyond perplexed and since I am an extremely patient person I waited. And waited. And waited. I stood there for 10min as MULTIPLE people walked by us and never offered to seat us. Are yall only doing reservations?!? It was monday at 7:30pm...were you having power issues or something?!? I still don't quite understand what happened but after standing there for such a long time without being addressed we left. I ended up going to a steakhouse near my home and received exceptional service. Which resulted in a 25% tip. Won't be back to this location. Best wishes.

I always drive past Avenida on the way to work, so I decided to stop by for a late lunch today for two. We got there around 1:30, so we were one of the few groups of customers that were left. Our server was extremely nice and helpful, and the restaurant also looked really elegant inside. We started with the salad bar and soup. The salad bar had a pretty decent variety of selections available, and the lobster bisque was so creamy and delicious. We also had sides that included cheese bread (my favorite), au gratin potatoes, garlic rice, and plaintains, which were all really good as well. I got the Brazillian lemonade, which was really refreshing and not too sweet nor sour. I wasn't sure if it's because we went in late for lunch or if dinner is different, but the meats/seafood selection was very small when we were there, probably only half the meats/seafoods availability from their menu, which was a little disappointing. The meats/seafoods that we did get though were all very tasty and flavorful, except for the filet mignon. The filet mignon was very bland and tough, even for the more medium rare/medium pieces. Overall it was pretty nice. Maybe I'll come back at a different time. Hopefully there will be a bigger selection.

The salad buffet was spectacular. Service was great the bottom sirloin was the best selection on the meat shrimp was good but over cooked. we were rushed do to concert tickets so didn't get our moneys worth but it was our choice to push the time.

Being this was my first experience with an "all you can eat" Brazilian steakhouse, my first expectations were limited. Having said that, Avenida's certainly was a premier choice. I imagine the logistics of operating a staff served buffet are quite heavy. Service staff and employees were nothing short of incredible. No interaction felt awkward or forced, a tremendous sign of well trained staff who take into consideration all the little things. Honestly when I go to a restaurant with unlimited portions, the ambiance is negligible. It's sort of like referee's in football; if you can't remember their names, they must be doing a good job. The overall atmosphere were lively, from what I could tell, accompanied by a clean dining area and bathroom. Aggregated together, I don't think a better selection could have been made for a birthday dinner.

Writing this review real quick because I'm literally about to head into the restaurant and totally can't believe I didn't write a review. My faves: lamb chops (when you can get it ), picanha, baby beef! Tip: Sounds silly, but you can actually just order salad bar as your meal. It's good for those on a diet or for people with smaller appetites (or me when you forget to not eat all day and can't do the whole meat extravaganza) WAIT I LIED THE CHEESE AND HONEY IS THE BEST THING! You've got to try it!!!

Waiter was on point! Very good salad bar. Cheesy popovers. And great grilled Meat brought to you. What more could you ask for....'maybe for the price more shrimp or a slice of ribeye...they even have lamb. Great place for a special dinner

Overall it was okay. Parking was easy and because we had a rsvp seating was easy. The food/meat was pretty good and they have a good amount of that. The sides on the other hand I thought sucked. So go to just eat meat. The salad bar was par at best. The service was not bad. The atmosphere, it is not a nice quiet experience. The restaurant is quite loud and lots of kids. Defiantly family oriented, which is good just know that is the atmosphere you are walking into. There is a full bar and that is good. Overall If you are okay with it being loud and kids all over the place, then this is the spot for you. As for the price we had a party of 4 and a beverage each, which averaged out to a little over $100 per person including a tip.

This is by far the best Brazilian steakhouse in Houston. Don't go to the chains. This place is privately owned and the service is phenomenal. Why pay $70 for a steak at a high end steakhouse when you get the entire thing here for less? Filet. Scallops. Salmon. Ribeye. Lamb chops Picana and more.. Oh my!

This is my first time at the new location and I was very impressed by the excellent service, classy atmosphere and delicious Brazilian barbecue. We came here for lunch during Houston Restaurants weeks and we were very satisfied. Our server Brian took really good care of us. The salad bar had a lot of healthy and yummy choices. My favorites are the lobster bisque, mushrooms and cheeses. The picanha sirloin was perfectly seasoned. The parmesan pork was also tasty and tender. We enjoyed the cheese puffs and black beans and rice too. We will definitely return to try the dinner menu where there are more meats and salad bar selections. If you are a meat lover, you will totally love Avenida Brasil!

Service and meat choices were excellent. Ambiance was nice and upscale. The salad bar has many varieties. Highlights were seared tuna, avocado and the lobster bisque. Meat choices were excellent but some cuts were a bit salty. The grilled jumbo scallops were different from other Brazilian steakhouses. Overall a very good but not great dining experience.
