Rio Bonito Grill

Came on a Sunday evening for AYCE barbecue and had a great time. Service was excellent—Lucas was super friendly. We were seated right away, but it filled up by dinner, so I’d recommend reservations. Nice salad bar for appetizers and sides, and the star is the tableside churrasco: fresh cuts carved right onto your plate—lamb, several steaks, chicken, and garlic bread. Cheese bread was so good. Halal option available.

Went here out of curiosity as I often see a line gathered outside. The staff were extremely professional and welcoming, but the food was typical to that of Brazilian stake houses I have visited. Though the offering was a bit smaller and so was the buffet section. The drinks however, were outstanding. All said and done it was a nice spot to grab a bite and experience the delight of Brazilian cuisine. However I would not wait online for this.

Rio Bonito is such a gem! The staff are incredibly friendly and make you feel right at home. The drinks were amazing and the food was delicious—fresh, flavorful, and definitely worth coming back for. The atmosphere is lively yet relaxed, which made the whole experience even better. I’ll absolutely be returning and would recommend this spot to anyone looking for great Brazilian food and a warm, welcoming vibe.

Good Brazilian AYCE steak place in Astoria. They offer well marinated steak, lamb, chicken and they were all good! Buffet had more authentic Brazilian spread of food and service was friendly. It’s a good value for $35 and if you are meat lover, you will definitely enjoy it.

Rio Bonito is a great place to eat with a very welcoming atmosphere. I went there with Tenzin SM and Jason, and from the moment we walked in, everyone was kind and respectful. The staff were nice and very friendly, which made the experience even better. The food was tender, flavorful, and clearly well prepared. The people working there were also buff and hardworking, which showed how much effort they put into their job. Overall, Rio Bonito is a solid food place with good vibes, great service, and delicious food, and I would definitely recommend it.

Everything was spectacular, the food amazing and the service was beyond amazing. The manger Ronald was always making sure our table was good. An experience I would love to repeat.

If you're looking for an authentic Brazilian barbecue experience, Rio Bonito Grill does not disappoint. First and foremost, they are halal certified, which was a huge plus for us. We went for the $35 per person Brazilian BBQ option, which doesn’t include tip—just a heads-up, it’s charged based on the headcount. As soon as you're seated, you're given a quick intro and then sent off to the salad bar, which offers a solid mix of cold and hot items. I appreciated the variety—it’s a nice warm-up before the real feast begins. Once back at your table, the servers come around fast and furious with nonstop cuts of meat. We had everything from ribeye steak, lamb, chicken wings, to chicken breast wrapped in turkey bacon. It was an absolute meat lover's dream. I tried to see how much I could handle but tapped out by the third plate. Trust me, come on an empty stomach. Drinks and desserts are extra, including mocktails, sodas, and water. We were so full we couldn’t even think about dessert, though they did look tempting on the menu. Service was great—our server was friendly, smiling, and very attentive throughout the meal. The only downside is parking. It’s located in Steinway, and we had to park about a block and a half away, so factor that in if you're driving. Overall, this is a fun, flavorful, and filling experience that I highly recommend if you’re ready to feast.

Firstly, the place opens after 5pm and there are no reservations so anyone coming with a group has to account for that. When we visited, the place was not overcrowded (Thursday) so its worked out. The food is generally good but very inconsistent, even to the extent that same meat cut but offered at different time could go between great and not great. The salad bar was decent but what really worked was the servers were very pleasant and the desert was great. Would I be back? Perhaps as its worth at a one-time visit for halal brazillian bbq…

This restaurant is the best Brazilian restaurant in Astoria. When we visited a few weeks ago, everything was exemplary, from the service to the food. They bring the food to your table, and their employees walk around with sticks of meat-cut into slices in front of you. We tasted pork, lamb, beef, and other cuts. Initially, we did not want to wait for 30 minutes to have our food prepared, so we used the self-service buffet bar at the back of the restaurant and brought our portions to our table. Everything was delicious, and when the meats came around, we probably overstuffed ourselves. Wow, what an experience in this little Brazillian section of Astoria. We will be back, and my gf highly recommends them.

I've gone twice -- the first time was back in June when there was hype, and the second time was recently and the hype has died down. How vastly different the two experiences are from each other. First time: loved the drinks, the pasta at the bar, the environment, and the service! The vent above our table dripped on one of my friends, but we just made do, as it was super busy and no big deal. Second time: the environment and service make me embarrassed that I suggested this place to my group and I'm not going back. Let's breakdown the environment and service: When you walk into a restaurant, it's normal for people to look up at the newcomer, especially if the entrance is located in an open space layout. But once my group came in, diners just kept staring at us, throughout the meal. So that was really weird. At the table we were seated at, there was a huge puddle of water and as the night went on, there was red fluid from the meats on table and the floor, so I asked the host if someone could clean it. After 10 mins (not peak hours), an employee came and only mopped the red fluid. Only when I pointed out the puddle of water did they mop it. Also, there's a container of plaster and water that I'm assuming came from the ceiling in the middle of the restaurant. They've put 3 stanchions around it, but sure, ok. At this point in the dinner, there's only 4 tables left and for some reason, it was so hard to get our server's attention! They just went from one table, took down what they wanted, and bee-lined to the kitchen. And when we tried to get the attention of the rest of the staff in the back with the register, they looked at us, and ignored eye contact and my raised hand. Tell me how anyone can enjoy a meal where people are staring at you (including the table next to us!) and the staff is ignoring you? You can't. Some meats were a hit or a miss and not worth it for me to come back. So disappointing as a I had a blast only 6 months before! There was so much TLC back then, and now it just feels like a completely different restaurant. Including a picture of the garlic steak that I could barely cut

The service was friendly,kind and prompt. The food could use more seasoning, salt, The ambiance was very Good,familiar,calm and family friendly.

$35 per person for AYCE bbq such a great deal. That includes chicken, beef , lamb and salad bar.

We found this place through Facebook and decided to try it out. The area was nice and its right across the street from the original grocery store it was started from. Although it's quite small for a churrascaria, it's not bad, this place is good for small groups or couples. The buffet is small but what they served was quite good. Rice and beans, some kind of beef with mushrooms, a yummy shrimp dish and fried fish. The salad bar only had one type of salad, green beans, corn, and cucumbers, but it was enough since you're there for the meat. Even before we sat with our buffet sides, the meat came out, we didn't even turn our card over to yes, very efficient. Sirloin was very good, beef short ribs were on the money, roast beef was a little overcooked, we also tried the chicken heart, chicken wings, pork sirloin and bacon wrapped chicken. Not bad for $35/pp, it was worth the visit. The staff were very friendly and nice. Come early to grab a table, when we left the restaurant was already almost filled up. We will definitely come visit this place again.

Are you craving meat and don't want to pay an arm and a leg at a Brazilian Steakhouse. Then check out this spot in Astoria! If you haven't been to a Brazilian Steakhouse before there are servers who walk around with a rack of meat and they will stop by your table if you have the "Yes Bring the Meat" card revealed. You can then tell the server how many slices of meat you want them to put on your plate..Def an experience! I didn't get a chance to record it, but look at my first plate of meat. This place has a good variety of meats. They even have a little salad bar in the back in case you're a little meated out. Or just reveal the "No thanks" card if you need a little break. For the price I paid and the amount of meat that I ate, I can't complain. But I did find the meat to be a little salty. And the food arrival could be a little better timed, there were moments when we were just waiting for the meats and when we were just flooded with meats. But overall I had a really great experience! The service was great! Everyone was super friendly and attentive. Would go back!

Visited here for a celebration with coworkers.... The service was great and attentive.. I arrived for happy hour specials and the drinks were well made balanced and delicious.... The food was what I expected from a Brazilian steakhouse.... very flavorful and delivered at a pace that allowed me to enjoy each option.... Really good value

TL; DR version: Cheap AYCE churrascaria but you get what you pay for (or don't.) Meat is overall salty here and the cooking is a bit too varied here with somethings being excellent sometimes and overcooked otherwise. They serve too many large pieces/need to slice more in short. It's hard to complain however at the price point which is about half of what you pay at the fancier spots. Was here with a group recently (see Andie's post for a similar review.) This is a new very popular and reasonably priced churrascaria from the same folks as Rio Market next door. The vibes are nice feeling like a local spot. The AYCE price for adults is $35 and you have 90 minutes to finish but you'll very likely be done prior. As Andie said, due to its size, 4 people or less would be recommended. We waited a good hour for seating for our group of 6. Service was friendly otherwise and they came around quite often with the meats. Outside of the AYCE, they offer some extra entrees, a mix of drinks (both alcoholic and not,) and there's a salad bar along with some hot options. My favorite from the salad bar was a beet salad topped with sliced hardboiled eggs and I believe hearts of palm. There were also other things such as quinoa, a tomato and cucumber based salad, a macaroni salad, and other stuff with many different dressing options. Nice mix. The hot buffet included a pretty good take on the Brazilian style of stroganoff as well as a very tasty fried potato dish with bacon and other stuff. Salty but delicious. There of course as farofa as well. I wish they had a take of feijoada like some other buffets but still good. They also asked if we wanted cheese bread/pão de queijo as well as fries. You can skip the latter which are generic and filling but the cheese bread was tasty which makes sense as next door they're tasty also. For the AYCE, I'm splitting it by meat categories in order of personal preference. AYCE- Beef Top Sirloin/Picanha: Excellent and by far the best of the night. Perfectly cooked. Not overly salted and just delicious. If all the pieces were close to this, I would leave this place a 5 without needing to think. This is one of the few pieces sliced into perfectly thin pieces and they honestly should do that more. Skirt Steak/Fraldinha: Had 2 pieces of this which consist of large chunks. One of them was perfectly cooked and the other was overcooked and therefore chewy. Well flavored though a bit salty. Garlic Beef: Again a large piece. My original one was overcooked and a bit tough. I tried some from someone else who got a rarer piece later which was much better. Also salty but not too much so which was probably helped from the stronger garlic flavor Beef Ribs: Not good. Overcooked. Very dry and way too much salt. AYCE- Chicken Chicken Hearts/Coração: These were thinly cut and outstanding. Not gamey at all with a good texture. My 2nd favorite of the night Wings and Drumsticks: Both excellent. Perfectly cooked, tender, well flavored, and not overly salted. Honestly some of the best of the night along with the obligatory top sirloin later. Bacon Wrapped Chicken: Not good at all. Chicken was dry and it was too salty presumably from the bacon. Wouldn't recommend AYCE- Other Sausages/Linguiça: The sausage was smoky, salty, and sweet though perhaps a bit salty (albeit expected.) Lamb. I was happy to see something that wasn't beef but this wasn't good. The lamb was gamey and not tender being overcooked and salty. Reminded me of some bad halal carts. Not good at all It's kind of hard to rate this place. On one hand, it's a good half the price of Fogo or Platforma. On the other hand, I drank more water here than most other restaurants I've been to and the meats were not evenly cooked even for the same cuts. If I could give this place a 3.5 I would but I can't.

The wait for a seat was about an hour. Was it worth the wait? The meat was good and juicy, and the service was spectacular. The staff was friendly, despite how busy it was. The French fries were pretty good but didn't particularly stand out. However, the onion rings -- when fresh -- are perfectly crispy. The salad and hot food bar options weren't too extensive, but there was still a good variety of options. Both the Shirley Temple and the virgin Pina Colada were amazing.

There is so much food here!!! We came here to try the AYCE Brazilian BBQ, but the options and food at the self-serve were already so good (I was already full haha before the meat came. Lesson learned - eat the BBQ before you go to the self serve, except for the sauces). I didn't take pictures of the AYCE BBQ that they come around with because I was trying to finish my plate first, but my personal favorite was their skirt steak. They come around with different cuts on a stick, and they will cut a piece for you if you flip a little sign on the table that you want more food. Definitely worth a try! One thing to note is if you have anything extra left from the self-serve, you would have to pay for extra on whatever you do not eat.

I really wanted to love this place because I learned about the backstory. The original Rio is a Brazilian supermarket across the street and they opened a restaurant across the street to offer AYCE Brazilian BBQ for $35pp. Competitors are chain restaurants like FOGO, and Texas De Brazil who offer the same deal at $60-70pp. Unfortunately, it just didn't live up to the social media hype. - Limited sides buffet that didn't offer much variety and quality wasn't great either. - Limited meat selection going around. - Drinks were on the pricier side (which I understand, have to make up margins on meats somewhere). - Space is too small to facilitate the back and forth of going to the sides buffet. You'll end up spending close to $65 anyway after drinks (alcoholic or non alcoholic), tax, tip. If you're up for Brazilian BBQ, I would probably go there.

The staff is alright. The meats take 5-10 business days to chew. Only the beef rib was tender ish. Salad bar is a 6.8/10. Definitely not worth it. Better off sticking to better quality meat Brazilian steak houses.

Rio Bonito, an AYCE Brazilian Churrascaria, has only been open for 3 weeks, and is already a hit because of their heavy social media presence. The restaurant is actually slightly smaller in real life but still a good size. Note: NO RESERVATIONS!! I would recommend that you come with parties of 4 ppl or less. Large groups will have to wait a much longer time for a table, as most of their seating is set for parties of 2 or 4. My party of 6 arrived at 5:30pm, and waited around an hour for a table; while smaller parties were seated much faster. If you do have a larger group, best come at 5pm or earlier, when they open. Price list: AYCE Adult: $35 (meats, salad bar & hot buffet) AYCE Child: $20 (ditto) AYCE Salad Bar & Hot Buffet only (no meat): $20 ** Time limit for AYCE is 90 minutes** Note that they do have other a la cart items on their menu, if you prefer NOT to have AYCE. (See my photos for their entire menu). Salad Bar and Hot Buffet: although there weren't an enormous amount of selections, there were certainly enough to choose from! Don't fill up here and save some room for the meats! The rice and black beans are a Must! Brazilian Cheese Bread and French Fries (part of AYCE): definitely order the Cheese Bread! They came fresh & hot, and were delicious. Don't let these sit on your table for too long though. They are best eaten hot or warm. The French Fries were fine. (Nothing much to say about it lol). Ok, let's get to it! They've got THE MEATS!! You're given cards that say Yes, Bring the Meats (green card) or No Thanks (red card). This lets the servers know if you want the meats to keep coming! The servers will bring endless skewers of meat to your table until you flip the card to the red side that says No Thanks. Below are all the BBQ Meats that we tried during this visit. The consensus was that most of their meats were overcooked and too salty. They were still good but they would have been outstanding if the meats weren't all well-done. And again, a little less salt would have made a huge difference! We were all guzzling cups of water throughout dinner. These were the meats we tried: -- Sausages: these were good but extremely salty. -- Chicken Wings & Drumsticks: these were nicely charred and delicious. -- Bacon-Wrapped Chicken: inedible. The chicken was so overcooked and dry that I couldn't even taste any bacon. Just terrible. -- Garlic Beef: This was garlic goodness but also one of the meats that actually didn't have any salt! Hahaha How strange, since all the other meats were over salted. Still pretty good but the piece of meat was HUGE! Smaller pieces would have been better. -- Skirt Steak: this is usually one of my fave cuts of steak, but it was so well-done that it wasn't so enjoyable. -- Top Sirloin: Hands down, this was the BEST of the bunch! The meat was cooked medium-rare, and sliced thin. Perfection! Tasty, tender and just delish! -- Beef Ribs: This was good but again, overcooked and too salty. (You get the theme, right?!) -- Chicken Hearts: well, this was a shocker! We weren't expecting to have chicken hearts! Apparently, this is a Brazilian Specialty! I have to say, these were pretty good. What a nice surprise! -- Lamb: I usually love lamb but again, this was too overcooked and salty. And for some strange reason, this lamb was extra gamey tasting. -- Pork Loin: there was absolutely no pork served all evening (except for the sausage). Where's the pork?!?! I ended up trying one piece of each meat and that was more than enough! No seconds for me! For $35, this was a great deal and an enjoyable meal (despite the meats being overcooked and salty). Again, Rio Bonito has the potential to be OUTSTANDING if they'd just fix those two problems. Customer service and hospitality were wonderful! Besides the hour wait for a table, service was great. Street parking is hit or miss. I was lucky and got a metered spot right across the street! Note that the metered parking is free after 7pm. Recommended! I would definitely return with a smaller group.

What an excellent local spot! The service and hospitality were amazing. All the staff were extremely nice and helpful since it was our first time visiting. We both went with the $35 all you can eat option which included bbq meats, salad bar and Brazilian cheese bread. There were about 10-12 different cuts of meat (beef, pork, chicken and lamb) offered throughout the meal. Our favorites were the Picanha and the bottom sirloin. Another memorable cut was the lamb which came out towards the end of our meal. The salad bar offered many different hot and cold vegetable options along with delicious hot sauce. There was also lemon salmon, a fried chicken cutlet, bbq ribs (a little dry), rice and beans. The only thing I got photos of were the desserts. We ordered the passion fruit mousse (excellent) and the chocolate cake (very good). Extremely reasonably priced and they added an automatic 18% tip. Will definitely go back.

This place is so delicious. Everyone is so nice and funny. The ambiance is great and clean. I loved the food. Milena was our server and she was awesome. My partner and I tried everything and it was all 10/10. The salad to the fries to the cheese bread - all 10/10. The fresh lemonade was the best !! They have the option with no sugar and it was perfect bc it's so fresh !!

Overall between 4 and 5 stars. I can still see remnants of other posts' complaints regarding inconsistencies around seasoning and doneness, but overall it seems like the restaurant has improved a lot in these departments. I only had two cuts through the meal that was over seasoned, and the cuts were never really dry. The salad bar/buffet portion was also quite nice, with the favorites between plantains and seafood rice. The sangria was also delicious! Service was outstanding, with servers always nicely checking up on tables. With the price point, its easy to understand why the restaurant is so popular!

Great food , unbeatable price but best of all tnothing beats Brazilian service . Thanks to Annie, Peter .

Two friends and I came after this place went viral on a Saturday at 6p. There was a line of ppl and we were estimated to be seated in 40mins so we went to a Mexican restaurant a couple doors down for a to go margarita and returned in 20mins to hear our name called. We were told we'd have to toss our drinks and we quickly obliged only to enter and be told they did not have a liquor license so all cocktails would be virgin while my freshly made margarita was leaking into a nyc trash bin We were seated and presented with brazilian cheese bread and fries that were both cold, but we came for meat so that wasn't a pressing issue. The meat slowly started coming out and there was no consistency in preparation at all. At one point they came out with a skewer of burnt sausages with 3 less cooked ones, that were visibly much lighter and larger since they weren't burnt, at the bottom. I asked for medium rare pieces of the meat they brought around and one waiter said they didn't have that, while another waiter gave me some pink pieces of the same cut. Some meats were super salty, the others didn't have a bit of salt on them. The skirt steak, lamb, and chicken hearts were my favorites but you can't take my word for it due to the lack of consistency I glanced at the hot/cold buffet and nothing looked appealing so I skipped it. Overall, I wouldn't come back nor recommend. I usually frequent Fogo de Chao which might have clouded my judgment and set too high an expectation, but id rather pay extra for that and enjoy my meal. Everyone was super nice, but the food wasn't worth it. We ended up leaving before our 90mins and headed back to the Mexican spot to re-purchase our wasted margaritas and grabbed a couple of tacos

They didn't want us to get the all you can eat table so they lied about it being reserved. Horrible service

Was so hungry and so happy to finally try this place that I forgot to take photos of the items I got but oh well will do my best to give a quick run down without visual. Came here after decided to go to another Brazilian restaurant initially, after seeing that the prices were almost the same, decided to come to Rio bonito since this was the much much better deal, 35 dollars for ayce rodizio is unheard of in NYC. Started off with the buffet foods and got some quinoa, meatloaf and pork, the best item from the buffet was the pork as it was tender and packed a lot of flavor in the skin. Next came the meats. Tried the chicken wings, sausages, garlic beef, top sirloin, lamb and the picanha. Sausage was forgetable, chicken wing was pretty good, the other meats were tough and forgetable, but the picanha, which is what people usually go to rodizio, was great here, juicy and done well, I would just get this item exclusively the next time I'm here. The best priced rozidio in NYC, swing by here for a solid spot

It's about quantity over quality. The whole thing cost only 20 dollars per-person for a kid and $35 for an adult, so that's something, but the meat was dry and overcooked. Waiter did not know what the mocktails were on the menu and didn't ask his management. Overall, I don't think you should go to the Rio Bonito unless you you want to get a cheap dinner that serves a lot of not very good meat.

This has been on my list of places to eat for a long time. I saw this was recommended on instagram and let me tell you, this place was not it. Nothing wrong with the service. Service was good but the food was horrible! The meats had 0 seasoning and was running blood. I hate when my meat is bloody. Food at the bar was not what i expected. I was expecting a bigger selection and it was very small. Food was very salty and i just did not enjoy the experience. 2 stare for the service.

We found this place through Facebook and decided to try it out. The area was nice and its right across the street from the original grocery store it was started from. Although it's quite small for a churrascaria, it's not bad, this place is good for small groups or couples. The buffet is small but what they served was quite good. Rice and beans, some kind of beef with mushrooms, a yummy shrimp dish and fried fish. The salad bar only had one type of salad, green beans, corn, and cucumbers, but it was enough since you're there for the meat. Even before we sat with our buffet sides, the meat came out, we didn't even turn our card over to yes, very efficient. Sirloin was very good, beef short ribs were on the money, roast beef was a little overcooked, we also tried the chicken heart, chicken wings, pork sirloin and bacon wrapped chicken. Not bad for $35/pp, it was worth the visit. The staff were very friendly and nice. Come early to grab a table, when we left the restaurant was already almost filled up. We will definitely come visit this place again.

It's a Wednesday night and it was not crowded at all. The decor was nothing fancy, very clean and quaint. I sat by the window and there was a draft. It's currently 22 degrees outside. All the beef came out well done and dry. The food was salty. When I asked them for medium rare, they brought it and it seems as if the patrons all loved it too. I'm not sure if they had it sitting, staying warm before I got there but it was a complete 180 after they brought it cooked medium rare. I can't help but to compare this place to Fogo de Chao and Chauma Gaucha, this definitely isn't that. The price is reasonable and cheaper compared to those other places. This was my first and last time at this place. The service was decent for the guys bringing the meat but I needed to remind the server to refill my water. Overall, if u want to feed ppl cheap, then come here. If you want quality, find another place.

What a great addition to Astoria! I read one review here that said the meat was charred, but we had the exact opposite experience! The picana was tender, and the sausages were amazing. The Brazilian rice and beans (plus the salad bar) was delicious (We are a Brazilian household here, so very picky on the beans!) We had to pass on the pork loin and chicken as it came around, as we were stuffed and didn't want to waste the food. But we will definitely be back to try it! For $35.00 a head, (less for kids) this all you can eat buffet and BBQ is well worth the money and the atmosphere was great. If meat isn't your thing, you can also just pay for the salad bar and buffet. Oh, and have a caipirinha, they have an amazing bar!

Great cuts of meat, so fresh and great service. Definitely recommend. The place is full, which means you are getting a fresh cut of meat

Came here after seeing all these videos from social media influencers. Food wise, all the cuts of meat were either too salty or overcooked. The amount of salt was just too much. And some meats were so overcooked they were dry and tough. As for the buffet, it wasn't bad, but as others mentioned, it is limited. Some of the buffet items were also very salty. While the servers were attentive, we weren't served water and even after we flipped our card for no more meat, the servers kept coming and asking if we wanted more. Hopefully they fix the salt levels one day because $35 is not a bad deal

I have been hearing about this great new Churrascaria in Astoria so me and a few of my friends decided to try it Saturday night and it was better than advertised. We were greeted by a very friendly host who made us feel right at home and helped us get seated. We all started with their house sangria it was very good. Then we filled our plates from the abundant salad bar. After that it was time to let the meat flow. The cuts of meat were prepared perfect and we all enjoyed all the variety. Our favorite was the Picanha mmmmmm delicious!!!! This place is the best bang for your buck around . We will definitely be making Rio Bonito a regular stop . Thank you for opening this great place in Astoria!

I've been here quite a few times since they opened. It just keeps getting better! The staff has always been and continues to be great. The space itself is well laid out. I personally find the food to be excellent! Each time I've come there's something different at the food bar. When it comes to the red meat, if you have a preference on how you like it cooked they are more than happy to accommodate you. It's just always a great experience every time I go.

excelente food with spectacular buffet and friendly service. Authentic Brazilian food.

This is the only Brazilian AYCE that made me spit out my food the second I put it in my mouth. The quality of meat is horrible. The seasoning is inconsistent, sometimes too salty and sometimes tasteless. Not a lot of variety. Even though it's cheap but still not worth $35! It was so bad my kids only ate the fries. I'd def not going back nor recommend it to anyone.

The place is newly opened when my husband and i went with some friends; we were supposed to wait for 25 minutes until the hostess informed us there was a sudden opening and our table will be ready in 15 minutes. After we were seated, the hostess took our drinks orders but we waited for a while to be served (we had to remind them twice for our drinks), i guess the hostess forgot to follow it up since there was a sudden influx of guests arriving and she suddenly had her hands full... they also told us to flip the cards provided whether Yes for keep the meat coming or flip the No side; after having my plate full and me struggling to finish, i politely refused the staff coming in with a big skewer of meat, but still kept on giving me slices... their meats were tasty and the steak, ribs and lamb have that Umami flavor, and i liked their mini cheese bread, but their sausage was a little too salty. All in all, i was satisfied with the experience, but not that impressed.. but i guess there is always room for improvement

You can find many brazilian food, I finally could eat a coxinha after a long time and was good! I always go there when i need buy any brazilian product. The price is also good. You can eat there in the restaurant and also have a supermarket. oh, and i found my favorite chocolate 'trento' there.

Just went there last night. Was worry as i saw a few comments about meat overcooked. But talking to the manager, its easy to learn that if you think the meat is overcooked, all you have to do is to tell the waiter how you want your meat and they will bring one as you wish in the next round. I loved the place, i loved the food and i will become a local for sure.

Went there because of all the post. Host vey nice , waitress pleasant, salad station okay , meat overcooked and chicken wings not cooked properly. They need to learn how to cook meat . Sad had high expectations for this place .

Very kind and courteous staff. Reasonably priced for an AYCE and there are various side dishes and meats ranging from garlic lamb to chicken wings to brisket. With that being said, almost every item was overwhelmingly salty, tough and hard to chew

Staff was friendly but the food wasn't great. The meat was usually tuff or chewy and usually extremely salty. The Lamb sausage was EXTREMELY rough and I had a hard time eating it.

The food was very good, the service was good. What I didn't like was that one of the waiters didn't like that we took the bread away. I know it's something so simple, but for a waiter to follow you outside and tell you that is strange. Do they ever reheat the bread and give it to other customers?

this is a review for how they estimates the waiting time and no right reservation way. I arrived around 8pm no reservations available ahead. Put name done and been told 40-50 minutes waiting for a table for two. Until 9:15pm, still no table available and the they told me they had a table for two but there no two chairs because they shift chairs around. I end up not going after wasting 1.5hour waiting without getting a table, and restaurants is closing at 10:00pm plus it's a buffet for 90minutes time limit.

Food amazing!! I had the rib eye steak and the grilled chicken breast. The seasoning was impeccable. Very clean place and the staff is GREAT. Definately coming back!

Operated for the price. Place is too small for the service they offer. Patrons and staff constantly walking right by you as you eat. One server stopped to offer food to the table beside us and the tables are so close that the servers butt was inches from my partners face. He had to stop eating and sit back because it was so uncomfortable. Receipt says waitress was Thai but not really sure since she never said her name and didn't speak very good English. Asked for hot water to sanitize utensils that had water marks and something sticky on them and she bought luke warm tapbwater. She definitely didn't understand the request. The buffet and salad bar options were limited and only a few things were good..tortellini, mozzarella and tomatoes. The meat options weren't a lot, maybe 6 different things. Not even sure what everythingwas since it was difficultto understand the servers. Some meats were overcooked and some under cooked. I'm ok with medium meat but blood dripping from the meat onto other things on my plate I can't do. And well done was too tough to chew. If youre gonna try it a reservation is suggested. We made reservation wasily theiugh google and glad we did because the line was ridiculous when we arrived. But we didnt have to wait in line and were seated in less than 5 min from arriving. Automatic gratuity applies at this location, seemingly to ensure the servers bringing the meat options get something. But the waitress barely came by because there were only 2 or 3 of them and 20 plus tables. Restaurant is family friendly and they made no effort to keep one parties kids from running around and squeezing people chairs in to get by. Maybe it's growing pains but to pay $100 for this experience won't happen again.
