Espetus Churrascaria Brazilian Steakhouse - San Mateo

This place is always a winner. I came here for multiple birthdays and other celebrations and it never disappoints. The food is very tasty along with excellent service. I love all the different cuts of meat and the smoked pineapple is simply amazing. The restaurant is always clean and the layout is very nice and cozy. I think this is one of the best Brazilian steakhouses in the Bay Area to be honest. I’ve you’ve never been I’d say definitely give this place a try as you will not be disappointed. They will also cook your meat to your preferred temperature style. Also the bar makes some really good drinks

The good is great. I loved the bacon wrapped fillet mignon. The cooked food bar is nice and have lots of variety. The service is great..the only down side is that it is a bit pricey per person so Go if you eat a lot of meat and you won't be disappointed.

I came here with my family in Christmas Eve (did not want to cook!), we had a reservation, and it was packed, for obvious reasons! The place looked lovely and festive, and the food and service were out of this world! We got a table that was close to the buffet and kitchen, which was perfect! My teenage kids absolutely loves everything and we all ate way more than we needed to! Even though the meats are the star of the show, don't neglect the fabulous buffet of the grilled pineapple. This is definitely a special occasion place, but we'll be back for sure. We even saved room for dessert, which was fantastic.

Came here for Valentine’s Day dates night and despite the enormous volume of people, the food quality and service was 10/10. The garlic steak was hands down our favorite but they had everything from baked salmon, shrimp, bacon wrapped chicken, chicken wings, pork sausage, sirloin, filet mignon, and lamb. The hot and cold sides did not disappoint either. We will be back for more!

I’m giving the food 2 stars for the grace of it being Valentine’s Day and the manager giving me a discount. This picture is supposed to be “Chimichurri”. I came by myself at 5pm on Valentine’s Day for self care. They told me I have 1 hour without a reservation (sat at 5:20pm). I was grateful to get the table. Then my server didn’t greet my table at all. Once I was able to flag him down, I told him my drink and still had to wait 30 mins for a cocktail. The place was filling up but people who were seated after me got their drinks before me. Then I said I’ll wait for the drink but if I could be brought Chimichurri (the oil and some herbs that ended up coming to me). It still took 15 minutes to bring me a sauce. At that point, I lost my appetite and stopped eating. Hence, the plate full of meat and discount. It was literally 6pm when I got my drink so I just asked for the check. You get the food yourself and literally are served the meat - what was the hold up with service? I even had to use a bread plate for the meat. I felt ignored and regardless my money has the same value in a couple or alone. Very disappointed with this location. I have been to the SF location and that’s why I know this location is below the standard.

Amazing experience! I have been to a few of the other locations which all are very good but this one is consistently my favorite. Great service amazing food. Can be a little pricey but worth it for the occasion. Will be back with my wife.

Love this place! Good meats, awesome buffet. Perfect for special occasion. Kids had so much fun. Killer sangria. People working at the restaurant were fantastic - they were so gracious with our kids when one was asking for 5 slices of grilled pineapple and a little one insisted he wanted to use tongs by himself.

The environment is chill and cozy. Plenty of choice for salad and meat! I love the salmon in salad bar. All the servers were so nice. I really like the roasted pineapple and all the meat were so tender and good. Chicken heart is a must have!!

Espetus is definitely a whole experience, not just dinner. From the moment we sat down, the service was attentive and welcoming. Once we flipped the card to green, the nonstop flow of meats started coming perfectly seasoned, juicy, and carved fresh at the table. The picanha was my favorite, tender and flavorful. The garlic steak and bacon-wrapped cuts were also so good. The salad bar had great options, but honestly, it's hard not to focus on the meat. Everything kept coming out hot and fresh. The atmosphere feels upscale but still comfortable perfect for date night, celebrations, or when you just want to treat yourself. It's on the pricier side, but the quality and experience make it worth it. Come hungry, you'll leave very full and happy.

I've visited Espetus Brazilian Steakhouse many times, and it's always been very consistent. The cuts are flavorful and well-prepared every visit. I especially love the grilled pineapple and chicken hearts -- they're must-haves for me every time. Compared to the San Francisco location, this one is easier for parking and feels more convenient overall. Solid Brazilian BBQ experience every time.

Came in on Valentine's Day as a family of 5 (one is a toddler who only needed a high chair). The restaurant was only about 25% full, yet the hostess refused to seat us because they were "only seating parties of 2 and 4." There were clearly open tables and an easy way to combine seating, but she wouldn't even try -- just dismissive and unwelcoming from the start. What made it worse is we've been here before and even seen large groups seated without issue. We understand reservations on holidays, but this felt less like policy and more like unwillingness to help. Plenty of empty tables, just no hospitality.

Such a great find for a fancy night out! The ambiance here is dark and romantic, perfect for date night or a special dinner. The service was honestly the best we've ever had at any steakhouse: attentive, friendly, and always ready to bring exactly what we wanted. The meat selection is fantastic, and what really stood out was how thick and generous the cuts were. Our favorite cuts of the night were the top sirloin, filet mignon, and flap steak, as all were cooked beautifully and full of flavor. If you don't see a particular cut going by or want more of something you loved, you can just ask because the servers are more than happy to bring it out! For dessert, please get the Crème de Papaya! It was honestly to die for, it was rich, creamy, and the perfect finish to a meat-centric feast! Overall, amazing service, great meat, and a really lovely atmosphere. Definitely a spot we'll be back to especially when we're craving a steak night that feels special.

Awesome selections of Brazilian BBQ items, all the servers were super friendly when they came to our table with large skewers of the yummy fire-roasted meats. We were a relatively large group and they made sure everyone was taken care of. There were chicken hearts, chicken wings, sausages, pineapple, pork belly, sirloin, and filet. Everything was delicious and flavorful. The salad bar also had a good selection of items. The cocktails we tried were all pretty tasty too. Will definitely come back in the future.

Came here for my hubby's birthday and our 10th year Anniversary. It was a nice dining experience. It feels upscale without being stuffy. Dim lighting, dark wood, and an open dining room that stays energetic as servers move around with skewers of meat. The meat kept coming, and my most fave is the beef ribs. Service was friendly without being pushy, and they didn't rush us at all. Salad bar was better than expected too. Fresh veggies and love their manchego cheese. Pricey, but worth it! Especially for a special occasion and when you're in the mood to eat a lot! :)

We went to Espetus in San Mateo for my husband's birthday a few years ago, and he absolutely loved it. It's a Brazilian steakhouse, so they keep bringing different cuts of meat right to your table and slice it fresh for you to try, which makes the whole experience fun. I did like some cuts better than others, but honestly everything was fairly good. There's a good variety of steaks and meats, and it's fun to sample a bit bit of everything. They also have plenty of sides, some are better than others, but decent overall. Their service is good and the interior is cute. The green cards means GO (you are ready to try a meat variety); or Red means STOP (you are enjoying what's on your plate). I do like the attentive service and I beleive there were 12+ meat cuts to try and sometimes they bring the one you don't like you can always say no, or ask them for the cut you like and they are pretty good about bringing it. It's a great spot for celebrations or special occasions, especially if you love steak and want to try different types . Overall, we had a great experience

Si, por favor let me take some home!!! Jk. I get it. You have to pace yourself and arrive famished! At around $75 per person, it's no joke. Over the years, I'd say I have become skilled at the art of ayce Brazilian steakhouses. Only saving my stomach capacity for the meat lover's gold like the top sirloin, beef ribs, filet mignon, chicken hearts, lamb leg, pork belly, and other favorites like grilled shrimp, grilled pineapple, hot peppers/chilis, cheesebread, and fried banana. I also like grabbing palette cleansers from the bar like cheese, pickles, olives, etc. to keep things balanced. Pro tip: The salad bar is a trap! Try whatever piques your curiosity but trust me--grab only small portions. You're paying premium for the meat! Heads up: There's a cake fee and the corkage fee is hefty. Service is fast and friendly, and most nights you'll feel like it's everyone's birthday (in the best way). I definitely prefer this location over the SF location, a beautiful, romantic spot to wine, dine, and go full carnivore with your hungry date. 8)

Decided to come here for my anniversary and I got to say: this is the best Brazilian steakhouse in the bay for me! The interior was definitely more spacious than other places like Fogo de Chao. Some highlights from the salad bar has to be the paella, salmon, and the fried bananas. Along side with the meat, I tried their chimichurri sauce which was very delicious. Some of the meats I liked was as follow: Filet Mignon wrapped with Bacon: This was the first meat I got and I had to say, it was the best filet mignon I had at a Brazilian steakhouse. The meat was juicy and it was seasoned perfectly. Chicken hearts: The other places I go to doesn't really season their chicken hearts and this place did it so well. I probably ate like 30 during my visit there. Beef Rib: The first round I got it, the beef was very juicy and tender. It wasn't dry at all. I like how there wasn't that much tendon on the meat as the other times I had it, it was stuck to my teeth. Leg of Lamb: It was my favorite place to get lamb. The initial taste didn't have that lamb taste to it. It was very juicy and seasoned well. The lamb taste only hit at the end, which was very nice showing the quality of the meat. For drinks, we tried their Brazilian limeade. It wasn't too sweet and still had the acidity taste from the lime. The service was great and they also gave us a nice scoop of ice cream for our anniversary. Within the same price as the others, in addition to the extra commute, I would come back here anytime to dine here again.

Come if you have a big appetite for meat! If not, it's totally not worth it for the price but you'll still have a good time. Waiters are overall quite nice and responsive. If there is a particular cut of meat you want that is not coming to the table, they can always help you flag it down. The pineapple is a hidden best in-between-meat kind of snack because it provides great acid to cut through the heaviness of the meats. Though I wish they would use riper pineapples or sprinkle cinnamon on it like other Brazilian steakhouses as it can be too sour at times. Fresh salad bar, especially during dinner time as there is quick turnover of the food. I also wish the tables were a bit farther apart. The walkway in between the chairs from different tables become quite narrow and it's even hard for the servers (especially the prime rib cart) fo navigate in between!

I've been here on Wednesday for a lunch. There's a section where you can get salad and some sides like potato salad and corn. You have a small circular sign for the table to indicate whether the servers should approach you with the meat. There was a variety of beef, chicken, and pork. I loved the beef selections and they were pretty tasty. You get small tongs and you use it to hold the meat as they're cutting it for you. Since we were the only table at the time, the servers kept approaching our table, so I found it fascinating when we had 3-4 of them circling our table haha. The servers were pretty attentive and friendly. The ambience is pretty nice with some dim lighting. I think this would be perfect for a date night.

I came here with my family in Christmas Eve (did not want to cook!), we had a reservation, and it was packed, for obvious reasons! The place looked lovely and festive, and the food and service were out of this world! We got a table that was close to the buffet and kitchen, which was perfect! My teenage kids absolutely loves everything and we all ate way more than we needed to! Even though the meats are the star of the show, don't neglect the fabulous buffet of the grilled pineapple. This is definitely a special occasion place, but we'll be back for sure. We even saved room for dessert, which was fantastic.

A bit sad and loathe to make this review but today was a big disappointment. But first the good: service staff was great and the meat quality was quite good. Wine and garlic steaks were instant hits. Pork belly steak was a bit too salty and slightly chewy. Pineapple was awesome as usual. Unfortunately, though, it was difficult to enjoy our experience given a miscommunication and poor handling by management. I had originally made a dinner reservation for Christmas Eve to celebrate a family birthday and the Holiday a week in advance. I called a couple of days later to ask about pricing. They said dinner would be around $85. I also asked what the lunch price on the 24th was. I was told it would be $55. Given that big difference (and how things are tight but still want to celebrate family and the good times), I then moved our reservation for five to lunch. Come today, we walk in and was told by the receptionist that as of today, the pricing for lunch would be $85. Flabbegasted, I asked for clarification and told her that I had called a couple of days before to confirm that the price was going to be less for lunch on the 24th. She said this was what she was told as of today. I expressed that this was rather disappointing and sad given that I had detrimentally relied on the restaurant's express representation about the lower price. The manager was called. Some back and forth and he made it sound like this was going to be the most complicated and impossible thing to honor, even though they had on file that I had called and had my reservation moved. Ultimately, the kind manager tried to make it work and said he would call management and see if he could give us the normal lunch rate but limit us to the lunch menu. He came back after a couple of minutes and said theyd honor the lunch price. Not before telling me that this was hard and that I should know that holiday pricing is always different... (which was why I had called originally, but whatever, I suppose). They sat us in the literal darkest corner of the restaurant and told us that wed be limited to the lunch Menu and selections only. At this point, I figured it's all fine. That's still plenty of delicious options. The family still ate and enjoyed the meal. But when grilled shrimp passed by, I asked if I could have some and was a bit rudely rebuffed and chastised that that's for dinner price only. That would be fine but the way it was said, the whole early riffraff, and being sat in a dark corner combined all kind of just made it sadder birthday meal. Oh well. At the end of the day, we tried to make the best of it and the kind waiters still tried to make the bday special. We've been fans of this place for our special occasions over the years and sad it went like this today, of all days. I do appreciate the manager making it work but the whole ordeal could have been avoided if they did not misrepresent things on the call. Not great to feel or be treated like a scammer or less than.

Top notch food and great service. Their choice of sides is great too. Dont forget to ask for some chimichurri, if you're so inclined. Cashew juice was interesting...I'd recommend trying it at least once.

Interesting place, food was great, wide variety of meats plus the all you can eat buffet style options. Service was great, very attentive to your needs. Ambiance was great not too noisy or crowded.

I've been to many Brazilian steakhouses and this was my least favorite. The meats were very salty but cooked perfectly. The salt kinda negates how well they were cooked though. I couldn't eat as much as I wanted because of the salt. However, I liked that they had shrimp because I usually don't see that on the menu for a Brazilian steakhouse. I also usually like the salad bars at these restaurants but I was disappointed in this one. The display wasn't as expected, they had a counter of hot foods but then there were some foods in bowls on the counter alongside the hot stuff. For example, they had orange slices in a bowl when it should be part of the cold section. It was very strange. Not only that but the variety was not appetizing. I wouldn't come back here.

Espetus remains one of my favorite Brazilian steakhouses. Despite having a very busy packed lunch, the staff were always walking around with the meat. Our plates were always full. Their meats are of high quality and are packed with flavor. Most of them are tender and juicy. Their salad bar was also pretty great. They have a variety of options, but don't let that distract you from the real star: their meats. It was difficult to not go to the salad bar multiple times. Also, this place wasn't too expensive compared to other Brazilian Steakhouses.

We came here with a big party to celebrate the birthday of a family member. It was a weekday, so it was not too packed and our reservation was ready upon arrival. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very open and has plenty of space for large or small parties. The staff is very friendly and as soon as you are ready to start eating, you indicate it by a small table sign that lets you turn it on for green or red. Green means keep coming with the meats and red means to pause. They have a very good selection of meats, ranging from filet mignon, chicken hearts, pork belly, lamb and pineapple. Their salad bar has a great selection to accompany any of your meals and is a nice way to cleanse your taste buds from all the meat! Do keep in mind there is a cutting fee for any cakes you bring in and it is a fee per person. Overall we had a nice time and great meal. Our server even entertained the kids with a couple funny jokes. Would recommend for a celebration of any sort. Nice experience.

Wow this place is so varied in all the various meats they offer as well as all the side dishes available. I recommend coming here on an empty stomach with a big appetite because I got full too fast! Waiters come around with various cuts of meats in different marinations so make sure to try as much as you can. There wasn't a moment too long where we were waiting for meat which is was very nice. The ambiance is elevated with its dim lighting and cloth napkins. Definitely not a casual spot, but perfect for a date!

I have been here multiple times. It is a bit expensive, but it is very festive and delicious. We went there ok a Saturday lunch. It costs $75 per person and our two years old ate for free. They bring beef, lamb, chicken and pork stakes on the tables and you would have the option to pick anything you want from the salad bar. They have fish and pasta options in the bar as well. We have been there few times, and we will go there more too.

Amazing night out, what a great Brazilian steakhouse. I definitely enjoyed my experience, especially with it being my first time at a Steakhouse where they come and bring you different steaks until you're overwhelmed or full. The service was great, they consistently check on you and ask if you'd like any of the meat they bring around. The ambiance is beautiful and fancy. It was such a great experience.

Meat was tender and juicy, cooked perfectly , it bring to your table as much as you want . Satisfied your craving from variety of meats , you have to start to a large self service salad bar but make sure save room for meats that bring to your table or start with meat to self service salad bar with variety of cheese, olives, cold cuts, appetizers, mango salad plantain ,and plenty of options aside from meats. Warm atmosphere. Friendly service, good vibes, feel home. Unique dining style and refined vibes, amazing to recommend for any occasions. I feel so blessed celebrated my 65 birthday. And I will always come back and recommend this place. Thank you so much to our server, sorry I forgot his name, and to all the staff. You did great making my 65 birthday very memorable.

Looking for the perfect meats? They're here! Came here with 3 friends for dinner. The brisket, short ribs, and bacon wrapped chicken were amazing. Tender and juicy. Perfection. But the real draw for me were the sides! Roast salmon in a cream sauce, paella filled with seafood, spinach and chicken pasta, bulgar salad, olives, and so many fresh salads to choose from. One of the best meals I had while visiting Redwood Shores.

Good food but expensive however I love all the meat.theres also a buffet section my favorite is the lasagna rolls

We stopped by on a Wednesday night for an impromptu dinner for three, and luckily there was no wait. While waiting for the meat servers to reach our table, we helped ourselves to the buffet, which had a wide variety of options. I leaned more toward salads than starches to balance out the rich meats (and to avoid getting too full!). We sampled every meat option available, and you can even request specific cuts from the servers--they'll send them out in rotation. My favorite was the picanha (sirloin steak): well seasoned, juicy, and perfectly medium rare. It stood out among the other cuts, some of which were a tad dry. What really sets Espetus apart from other Brazilian steakhouses I've tried is the distinct smoky flavor from their charcoal grills. It adds a depth to the meat that no other place I've tried has. Espestus is a great spot for a celebration or even just a nice dinner out. Now that I know my favorites, I'm definitely looking forward to coming back!

I have been here a few times, and I love the quality of the meat and food. It is one of my favorite Brazilian places to eat at. I didn't take any pictures this time, it was a busy day, and I wanted to just eat & relax. Overall vibe is classy, chill, and comfortable. I like eating in a sort of quiet environment too, so I can focus on the flavors and experience. That's just me. Customer service is also fantastic and they kept coming to serve/check on us.

Our good friend was celebrating his birthday and we decided to try out Espetus! This restaurant is spacious and nicely decorated. It was our party's first time here and we were excited to try their Brazilian AYCE meat and salad bar! Service was top notch! These guys wanted to make sure we got the cuts of meat and doneness we wanted. And they came around often! Salad bar was also nice and displayed beautifully. But our table wanted to focus on the meat that's carved for us. Our favorite meats were the filet mignon, beef ribs, chicken hearts, pork belly, top sirloin, flank and anything medium rare was melt in your mouth, satisfying! They even sang Happy Birthday to the birthday boy and gave him a scoop of vanilla ice cream! Food was great, service was great, ambiance was great! What's not to love? We will definitely consider coming again for another special occasion!

So much meat! Delicious at every bite. Plan to be fed. You won't leave hungry. Best service. Definitely planning our next visit!

1st timer at a brazilian steahouse AYCE on valentine's day weekend. Good experience, food bar was clean and stocked but you're here for the meat! I didn't know that for some of the meats you need your own tongs to get the pieces lol. But everything was delicious! They have a small centerpiece thing that lets the meat servers know if you'd like more meat or if you're good for now. Their smoked pineapple was great too. Only downside was their restroom. One of the women's restroom door was quite cramped. I liked how they offer new clean towels to dry your hands though. I wished they stopped allowing kids in the restaurant after a certain time because 2 children were being really loud and annoying.

Lots of food and meat ! Yummy salad ! Service was fast and food was served on time ! Easy to mans reservation

It's been awhile since I've been to ESPETUS. I use to be frequent at the first one in SF. Even had the chance to go in the back and watch them cook. A few friends wanted to go to ESPETUS because an older gentleman who owns a ranch had never tried it. So I coordinated everything and we ubered from across the bridge. Let's just say it was an experience for a Wednesday evening. Our friend enjoyed himself. The experience is the same. Food came out fast. Salad bar was on point. I think our eyes ate more than we can actually consume. It was good to be back at ESPETUS. It never fails.

Came here to celebrate my brothers birthday and I have to say I was very disappointed by the meat quality here. I found the meats to be on the dry side. Even the picanha was overly dry and you could tell from looking at the stick it was a bit over cooked. A lot of the meats were overly salted to the point it was hard to eat. The beef rib was good tho. I didn't get to try the lamb or the chicken hearts because I got full after eating so much meat. I was looking forward to this meal because everyone raved about it but it was just mid. I did find that the service was very fast as they came by with meat almost every second. Tho the tables are so close together it seemed very easily to accidentally bump into a waiter.

Date of Visit: 12/13/2024 We visited the Espetus Brazilian Steakhouse in San Mateo for our holiday lunch event. Espetus is one of the Brazilian Steakhouses in the Bay Area that provides authentic gaucho taste. Lunch is $54.95 per person, which offers 12-14 signature cuts of steak, pork, chicken, chicken heart, lamb, and shrimp, and they also have grilled pineapple. The salad bar and the Feijoada bar have many different salads, ham, cheese, and soup. I ordered a glass of the 2021 Rutherford Hill Merlot from Napa Valley and the 2021 Hearst Cabernet Sauvignon from Central Coast Paso Robles to pair with meat and seafood. The atmosphere was great and the waiter with the meat came often to check with us. Many other tables celebrate birthdays and it was a nice place to do so.

Meat lovers welcome. Great place to celebrate special occasions or just dinner date. Buffet style steak house, the food comes to you. I love every pieces of meat. For those who doesn't eat meat, their salad bar has variety of dishes to chose from. The waiters are friendly and made sure all tables with green sign up got served. Any table with a birthday celebration, the staff's gathered around and sang happy birthday.

Thank you Espetus for making me and my boyfriend's anniversary so special! We went to Fogo last year for our anniversary but this place beats it by a mile! We will never go back to any other Brazillian Steakhouse. The food was delicious and the service was amazing. We felt very taken care of by the staff which made the experience so memorable.

Foods were amazing, it's eat until you drop. Definitely getting your money worth it with non stop different cuts of meat from steak sirloins to grilled pineapple Each cuts are seasoned well with wonderful charred but not too burnt. Almost cooked side dishes such as salmons, mashed potatoes and more...are delicious too. Service and ambience are executed well They know how to treat their guests

Our family went to Espetus after a 8 year hiatus to celebrate a birthday. We were treated to a fun and delicious meal. It was Saturday night and the place was buzzing. Our waiter Mario and the staff were super polite and friendly/fun making sure all of our requests were taken care of. The cuts of meat were delicious and the food kept coming. The buffet/salad bar had Portuguese specialties and tons of vegetables/salad items.

An all you can eat buffet is wasted on me because I eat four or five times a day and not big portions and not meat either. Which is why we went for their "salad bar only" option (which is $10 cheaper than their regular all included menu). Btw., regardless of whether you choose their regular or salad bar only, dessert is separate and Ala carte, not included. Their salad bar only offers not just cold salads, but also all sorts of hot dishes and breads and rice, prepared foods such as pastas and soups, rice dishes, e.g. paella mariscos ... and my favorite was their poached salmon in a creamy caper mustard white sauce, which didn't overwhelm the delicacy of the fish. It was cooked perfectly moist and not a bit dry. Superb. Loved loved and then some. Their beef lasagna was the stuff of dreams and their manchego such an indulgence. The salad bar is a massive meal, which I could not do justice for. It's about $75. At the end, a guy came around and asked if we wanted grilled pineapple, to which I said "yes," and promptly gave it to my husband because for me, it was too sweet. The service was super friendly and attentive, glasses filled and the ambience festive and special occasion-like. This is a white tablecloth experience and what's rare about this place is: not a single big screen tv in sight lol :-) No question, to date, this is the best churrascaria I've been to, for the quality of food and also the variety.

Words cannot explain how good the food was! My boyfriend took me here for my birthday and it did not disappoint! There is servers coming around non stop to offer you a bunch of different types of meats. The servers were all very nice as well. As soon as you walk in you're treated. It is very elegant and comfy in there. They also have a buffet situation going on that you can get a bunch of different side like salads veggies cheeses and more. I do however recommend to no eat too much of the side so you can get full off the meat choices. Will definitely going back at soon!

We celebrated my dad's birthday at Espetus. I have been here several times before, and I always enjoy my time when I visit Espetus. We came in on Thursday evening and got seated quickly. The place was huge and spacious; it had dim lighting inside. The food was appetizing. The salad bar and side dishes had many options. My favorites were mashed potatoes, rolled pasta, corn salad, and mango salad. I kept going back to the salad bar to get more of them. All the meats were delicious and tender, but my favorite was the grilled pineapple. It had a smoky flavor and elevated the taste of the grilled meats. Overall, we enjoyed our visit to Espetus. The price was not cheap, but it was worth it for the meat cuts and different food options. I recommend this place.

Tonight was amazing! Their bacon wrapped filet mignon is on point!! The service was really good! all servers served with smiles and politeness! Juan was really friendly and helpful!!

Bottom line: the food is good! The restaurant is rowdy with tables very close to each other. They sang happy birthday about 12 times in the 2 hour window. Service felt rushed. One of the waiters kept flirting with me in front of my husband. It was quite unprofessional. Made for a poor experience.

If you are looking for Brazilian Churrasco, look not further because Espetus delivers authentic, traditional, Gaucho experience. They offer "12-14 signature cuts of steak, pork, chicken, lamb, and shrimp, along with a variety of fresh seasonal salads, appetizers, crispy polenta, breaded banana, and hot dishes that reflect the bounty of Brazilian cuisine. Pão de Queijo (Brazilian Cheese Bread) is served throughout the meal." Our favorites were... picanha: sirloin steak A Brazilian favorite, this top butt flat cut is remarkably flavorful and tender. beef ribs: savory ribs cooked slowly to perfection. filet mignon: the most tender cut of beef. Referred to as the "king of steaks" leg of lamb: tender leg of lamb has a soft, subtle flavor. Try it with mint jelly. home-style pork sausage: traditional Brazilian home-style sausage is made in-house, grilled to perfection, and packed with flavor. Grilled Pineapple: sweet pineapple tastes especially delicious grilled on an open flame and it promotes healthy digestion. Not my favorite, but when here, I usually get a few chicken hearts: Chicken Hearts are a Brazilian delicacy. Every bite is tender, juicy, and they're incredibly rich in iron and protein. The service is always friendly, professional, and hospitable. Pace yourself! They offer a lot of charcoaled meats. So don't fill up on the salads or appetizers. It's a great dining experience of you've never tried it.

Came here for my husbands birthday dinner with some friends and colleagues and this place did not disappoint. The salad bar is one of the best we've had and the quality of the meats being brought out were fantastic. The service here was very quick and we always had full plates.

I've been to several Brazilian spots, mostly in SoCal and this place is probably my fav! The salad bar was absolutely amazing, everything was fresh and so many things to choose from. My fav was this lasagna roll up and caprese salad. The meats just kept coming and so juicy, well marinated and absolutely delicious! We truly enjoyed our lunch here.

Came here for dinner and it was packed but not too busy. The ambiance was quite good, very big room with lots of tables that were closer together so it's more intimate. I usually don't go to Brazilian bbq too often but when I do I always like to grab stuff from their sides bar. This one had a lot of various dishes that I feel like could easily make you full if you wanted to lol. My favorite side was their crab chowder but everything else was also good. As for the meats, we tried each piece and really like the pichana and skirt steak and surprisingly the chicken heart.The chicken one was also really juicy and a must try. Would come back!

Espetus get's a yes hands down across the board, we arrived around 6:30pm on a Friday I fully expected a long wait for a table but to my surprise we were seated promptly. The restaurant looks amazing when you first walk in. Or waiter greeted us immediately and welcomed us. The first stop the salad bar which may be one of the best looking salads bars I have seen in a long time. Our party of three went all in for the dinner menu which was amazing. The leg of lamb was juicy and succulent, the giant sized grilled shrimp was addicting. All the meats were cooked to perfection. I loved the grilled pineapple. We opted to share a pitcher of Sangria through out our evening. Just wanted to mention about 45 minutes into our meal people were coming in from everywhere 5-10 people at a time so if you come later parking may be an issue.

A protein fest!! Superb meat selection and shrimp. The pineapple is fabulous as well. The salad bar and cheese breads can easily fill you up. The service is top notch and they treat you like kings and queens. Bravo!

Last weekend I invited friends to celebrate my birthday at this steakhouse, but I didn't expect the biggest surprise of all. There were 10 of us, and 4 children, including 3 babies and a 2-year-old, and they simply charged for the children's all-you-can-eat meal, including my 4-month-old baby. At the end, while we were trying to understand the prices, they simply told us to pay and leave, and to resolve the situation amongst ourselves. I never imagined going through this situation, especially on my birthday. It's truly absurd to charge a baby who drank the milk I brought. I've never seen anything like it in my life.
