Sabor Gaúcho Prime Brazilian Steakhouse

Sabor Gaúcho is a new hidden gem in San Francisco! The food is absolutely delicious 😋 everything is fresh, flavorful, and authentically Brazilian (I am Brazilian and can assure myself). The meats are perfectly seasoned and juicy, and the sides are just like home-cooked comfort food. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel like part of the family. If you’re craving Brazilian cuisine or want to try something new, this spot is a must!

The meat quality is so fresh here. The staff is so organized & professional it made my meal a true fine dining & excellent experience. I recommend all the food but especially the lamb chops & the coconut cake dessert. 10 star experience!

This restaurant is a hidden gem! The service is impeccable, and the menu offers an endless stream of perfectly cooked meats. There’s also a great variety of salads and warm entrées. The staff is excellent, attentive, and polite, and the owner even mingles with the crowd.

Amazing experience and so glad to have them on Polk St! I love to have this place in my neighborhood. The service was stellar, everyone was very attentive and super quick turnaround with all the meats. Wide variety of meat selection, and everything was cooked to perfection. Nothing was overcooked, everything came exactly as I asked for. Overall, I cannot recommend this place enough. Will definitely be coming back!

I recently had lunch at this Brazilian steakhouse and was truly impressed. It’s a genuine taste of Southern Brazilian (Gaúcho) culture right here in San Francisco, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel at home. Attentive, personalized service, premium cuts of meat grilled to perfection exactly the way you like them, and a fresh buffet with dishes prepared daily from quality ingredients. The bar is outstanding, offering a carefully curated wine list and excellent cocktails. Perfectly located on the corner of Broadway and Polk Street, just one block from Highway 101. Even though it’s newly opened, it already shows a high standard of excellence and a culture of hospitality that’s hard to find elsewhere. Definitely worth a visit!

Wow, finally a decent Brazilian steakhouse in the city. They did an amazing job with the building, inside is beautiful and cozy. Service was the best, everyone was very attentive and made sure that we had everything we needed at anytime. The food was delicious, so many options at the salad bar and I ate so much meat that I almost had to be carried out of the restaurant! Try the cocada for dessert, delicious!! Will be back, and will bring people ☺️

Food: 5 stars. Atmosphere: 5 stars. Service: 20 stars—especially thanks to our server, Elias. Thank you, Adrian & Lina

This place deserves 5 stars. From the beginning with the cheese bread to the brazilian caipirinhas and all the cuts of meat. Everything was so amazing that I will return more often with friends and family!

If you're looking for an authentic Brazilian steakhouse experience, Sabor Gaúcho delivers! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome and taken care of. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and they kept the meats coming at the perfect pace. The quality of the food was excellent--tender cuts of steak, juicy chicken, flavorful sausages, and perfectly seasoned lamb. The pão de queijo (cheese bread) was addictive, and the sides kept the meal feeling complete. What really stood out was the atmosphere. It felt warm and inviting, perfect for both a special occasion and a casual night out. The team here clearly cares about giving their guests a memorable dining experience. Whether you're a first-timer to Brazilian churrasco or a seasoned fan, Sabor Gaúcho is a must-visit. Come hungry...you'll leave full and happy!

My husband and I had so much fun at Sabor Gaúcho! The staff is so friendly and helpful, and the food is delicious (make sure to try the pineapple). We both did the full experience; I wasn't hungry at first but ended up dining for 2 hours. It is so well organized which makes it hard to believe the restaurant has only opened for 6 days! So great to have them in the neighborhood and we will definitely be going back!

Just opened Sabor Gaúcho is the same level as other Brazilian steak houses, such as Fogo de Chão & Espetus. Highlights were the bacon-wrapped filet mignon, spiced picanha, rib-eye, honey-covered grilled cheese, and brown-sugared cinnamon pineapple. The service was immaculate. Fully recommended - the best of luck to the owners & staff!

5 stars across the board. Service was impeccable, with very quick turnaround. Everyone was highly attentive. The restaurant itself is very pretty, clean and so exciting to have it on Polk St! The rodizio was pretty tasty, with a wide selection. My favorite was of course the grilled pineapple and the grilled cheese with honey. Highly recommend this place and they just gained a new customer!

New spot on Polk, big portions and delish! The space is large and great for special occasions

My Brazilian boyfriend and I came here after looking for Brazilian food to eat in SF. We opted to order individual items off the menu rather than doing the buffet because we weren't *starving*. Everything was excellent!! The staff are very attentive and kind. The staff were all native Brazilians which made my boyfriend happy. My favorites were the picanha, the pão de quejo, mashed potatoes, and Caesar salad! My boyfriend enjoyed the salmon, the picanha, and the potato salad. We also got the caipirinhas which were delicious and are made with Brazilian cachaça. Restaurant is clean and beautiful inside. Hope to come back and wish the best of luck to the staff!

Great food and even better service! My boyfriend is a big fan of Brazilian steakhouses, and I think we've now gone to every single one in San Francisco including this one, which has now become his favorite! We had a reservation for 7:15 and came a few minutes early. Parking is available on the street, but the neighborhood is busy on the weekends, so be sure to factor that time in. The ambiance of the restaurant was very nice. It looked clean and modern. I personally thought the salad bar was eh but I don't gravitate towards the salad bars anyways. They have sushi which my boyfriend was a big fan of. Im definitely the kind of person who tries to save their appetite for the meat so I didn't try anything. Service was amazing. The staff were all really friendly and nice. They took our drink orders promptly. They also brought us mashed potatoes, french fries, and bread which I didn't know was included in our dinner. Plenty of waiters walking around and checking in on us, and I felt very well attended to. Food itself was really good -- I think the best quality of all the Brazilian steakhouses we've been to. Would definitely come back again!

We have been waiting for quite a while to see this iconic location get a Brazilian steakhouse. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. The food was superb, with juicy and delicious beef, chicken, sausages, grilled pineapple, etc and a fresh and tasty salad bar. There's a beautiful bar with amazing cocktails, and the most refreshing Caipirinha. The service was top notch and the ambiance, uplifting-- you can truly feel the positive energy. Already planning a big dinner outing here with our friends and family and so happy to see this world-class Brazilian steakhouse in our neighborhood!

I've lived in this neighborhood 20 years and this place is such a welcome addition! The owners (hi Silva & Denny!) are super friendly, and I got to know them as they were building out the place. I recently went with a friend to celebrate a special occasion and it was such a great decision. The food was delicious, I love how it's truly all you can eat. There were so many cuts of meat to sample: the Filet Mignon and Ribeye were my favorites. But the lamb chops were also excellent. And the breaded shrimp was wonderful too. And so was the buffet. Oh well, I can't choose - it was all great! I look forward to going back soon!

We went on their second day of being open, and while we noticed a bit of chaos amongst the staff (they had issues with our bill and couldn't find the drink order to pair with the meal so had to confirm with us what we had ordered drink wise), overall everything went smoothly. They immediately brought over cheese bread when we sat, which was so tasty and chewy. We ordered their classic Brazilian cocktail and it was very refreshing. As for the salad bar, we didn't eat too much off of it, but they had charcuterie, some hot food (beans, rice, pasta) various already mixed salads and a few items of sushi. Everything we did try was tasty, but (this is a personal thing) I would have loved just a bowl of lettuce. They had many pickles and toppings, and I think even dressing, but no just plain lettuce or mixed greens. As for the meat that came out, it was a nice variety! They even had shrimp and pineapple (which had a mixture of cinnamon and sugar glazed on the outside). The meats itself were mainly tasty, but I think they had some temperature issues. One skewer was presented and they asked for medium, med well and well, we both said medium, and they both were very well done. The flavor was good, but it made us laugh. There was another that looked very rare, and while my partner said medium, it was definitely medium rare. Granted, this was the second day open so to be expected. During our meal we were probably asked 10+ times if we needed anything, how it was, any special requests. It was very attentive service but maybe a little overkill. We finally took them up and asked for a specific skewer which took 5+ minutes to make it to our table anyway, so wasn't sure what the point of asking was. Now for the bill, we didn't see anywhere how much this all was. You see the drinks prices of course but for the actual meal itself. Not on the menu, not online, etc so I was bracing myself. I don't remember exactly, as I only briefly looked at my bill, but for the one drink ($18), 2 all you can eat, and 20% tip ($35), our bill was $226. I dont remember if they had the healthy sf fees or anything. This is not a cheap meal but one you go for a birthday or something. We definitely didn't feel like we ate our money worth (that was our fault, we got full), but glad we tried it! It's a welcome addition to the neighborhood and I look forward to watching it grow.

Wonderful lunch with friends. Beautiful restaurant. Incredible cocktails and appetizers. Great variety. The best meat, but they also offered many other options. The best service from all of their wait staff. We highly recommend!
