Viva Brazil Restaurant

Excellent Brazilian food, customer service and atmosphere. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👌💯 The best Brazilian buffet in South Florida. Come with your family and enjoy. Giovanni is always focus on the details. Also, they have a room for special events.

Viva Brazil exceeded all expectations! From the moment I stepped in, the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, with staff who were genuinely attentive and professional. The rodizio-style service was flawless—succulent cuts of beef, lamb, chicken, and more kept coming, each one perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The salad bar was fresh and well-stocked, offering a great variety to balance out the rich meats. I especially appreciated how the servers made sure I never had to wait long for my favorite cuts—everything was timed just right. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just want an unforgettable dining experience, Viva Brazil is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back—and bringing friends!

Should be 10 stars. This place is off the charts! I came for lunch and everything was wonderful. The meat was grilled to perfection. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Definitely the best restaurant experience I have had in far too long.

Place is clean, nice ambiance and salad bar was well presented and overall tasty. Meat was very salted, over cooked and dry for the most part. The grill man was generally "cheep" with the quantity. Service was ok but can be much better. The restaurant was fairly empty when we were there and at time the stuff was not attentive and did not replace our plates when needed. Also. Why charge 20% service fee to the bill? Over all, did not feel it has good value for the money. Better go to Chima or texted se Brazil and others. You pay more but much better quality.

The food is good but the service is not. I had to stand out from my seat to ask for water for the table and I had to do it a second time. I had to call the waitress to the table again to ask for the bill because they were so distracted. Their choices of juices is not much. On top Of that, they included a 20% tip on the bill for a party of 4 people. I will agree to that when the service is excellent but this was not the case. The buffer cost is $38 and changed per person.

Amazing food and well priced. Customer service is great. Servers are attentive and always making sure the customer has everything they need. Rony was a great help. Special thanks to him for going beyond and preparing delicious Brazilian style meats (churrasqueria). The place is well recommended. All you can eat at a decent price. We'll worth it.

Beautiful restaurant! However, the language barrier could cost you some dollars. The workers only speak Portuguese. It seems that it works for them since they're now charging $39 all you can eat, no drinks included, or at least I wasn't explained or offered a drink since the waitress couldn't communicate in English or Spanish or/and answered my questions because of my lack of Portuguese. Anyway... the sides were good, the chef didn't know the name of the meat cuts in English, so I guess they only had picanha cause that's what he offered and while I waited for the meat to be ready, cause the buffet didn't have the meats ready to serve, I ended up eating the sides, by the time the picanha was done and the chef called me, I was already full, so I could eat a lot of protein. Unfortunately, the picanha was not too juicy, I would say dry.... the chorizo was not cooked through, so I didn't eat it either. I paid $110 in total for the 2 of us, and they assumed I was happy with my experience and added/charged a 20% gratuity without acknowledgment... I remember I was begging my family to come with me to this restaurant that I visited 6 years ago, and it was $20 all you can eat like most buffets that offer more than Viva Brazil. Thank you, though. 👍

Found this place through google search and let me tell you it was better than expected. Arrives around 3pm which was still considered lunch, so price was $29.99. It’s an all you can eat steaks Brazilian place. Delicious food and great service. Will be back

Food was excellent Vibe was great You would never know this place was so good From the outside it looks like a dumpy place It's really nice inside and the food is authentic My only complaint is it's a bit pricey at $38 a person that doesn't include drink or dessert At The Knife they used to give you a bottle Of wine or a drink with diner which made it really worth it In total our bill was $109. I had a glass of wine I think that's expensive Overall it was a great experience. I would come again hopefully they add the drink and dessert to the buffet

Went to dinner with some friends and I must say I have 0 complaints. The salad bar was delicious with many options to choose from! The drink was delicious, I ordered a caipirinha and it was so yummy! The meats were delicious! I totally recommend. The services was good, the restaurant is actually super cute with a hint of a romantic setting if you're looking for a date. 10/10 would recommend!

Food: A lot of variety of meats and sides! Both hot and cold sides such as ceviche, rice, beans, bread, spinach and cheese dip, fried yuca, fried eggs, pork chops, salads, pork ribs, and much more! For the meats they had Ny steak, churrasco, baby beef, sausages, filet mignon wrapped in bacon, chicken, and more! Service: Staff greet you as soon as you walk in and help you and explain how the system works. Let's just say the water never touched the bottle of the glass haha. Wonderful staff good job to the manager. Ambience: Classy or semi causal (not fancy but could dress up if you want) I really liked the music selection and all the employees are from Brazilian so makes it truly authentic (: Highly recommend to anyone trying out a new steakhouse!

Fun hot spot. Hit dancing for everyone no complaints only good things to say about this establishment.

This place is great. $40 all you can eat fantastic steaks, chicken, salad bar, etc....this app is making me do 85 characters but whatever

This place is a hole-in-the-wall GEM! Was skeptical at first when I pulled in but tried it anyway and so glad I did. Food is awesome! The local Brazilian drink taste great too. Definitely recommend

Loved it! The ambiance is great, food is amazing, and drinks are great! Can't wait to come back

Bit of a hole in the wall. If I wasn't invited to this place by a friend, I would have never known it existed. Once you step inside you know you're in for a treat. Has a strong ambiance, All you can eat food bar and Steak + Sausages roasting on a spit. The food was surprisingly good.

I've been coming here since they first opened up and the service and quality of food has not changed. They have delicious, high quality meats and their sides are so delicious as well that you'll get food by just eating that alone. This is a buffet style restaurant where you sit down, tell your waiter what you want to drink then grab a plate and serve yourself. When I'm in the area I don't hesitate in coming here because of how amazing the food is and the type of customer service they provide. Another thing to point out is the ambiance of the restaurant is suitable for you to come and enjoy your food. They do have a separate area where they do live shows I believe but typically it's calm and peaceful. If I can give them 10 stars I would but Yelp only allows a rating of 5.

Worst dining value in south FL. Brazilian lunch, loaded with salt and mediocre quality foods. The nerve of them to charge this much ($38.95pp) for a buffet, $3.50 for a can of soda and to add a mandatory 18% tip (for a self-serve buffet!!!! Wtf are they thinking???). That's $15.99 to bring a cup of coffee and 2 sodas to the table, and take away a few empty dishes!?!?. Empty empanadas, a bowl of bananas, a bowl of corn, average lobster bisque...mediocre food. Steak wrapped in undercooked bacon. The worst was the citrus chicken skewer which was little drumsticks. Not even chicken breasts. Is this a joke? This little restaurant is a TERRIBLE value for lunch and I left there feeling I had been taken advantage of.

Finally I found the authentic and DELICIOUS Brazilian Restaurant inMiami The food has absolutely D E L I C I O U S , place is clean fresh Im definitely come back for more

Delicious food! Good service!!! So many choices of meat. And great salad bar!!! Not cheap, but worth it.

We celebrated my parents' anniversary at Viva Brazil. It was our first time visiting and the staff made us feel welcome. Kiara offered perfect recommendations for drinks and deserts. We enjoyed the variety of all-you-can-eat meats, it's a true highlight. Thank you Viva Brazil for making this special occasion memorable, we are looking forward to returning! - Celebramos el aniversario de mis padres en Viva Brasil. Era la primera vez que visitábamos y el personal nos hizo sentir bienvenidos. Kiara ofreció recomendaciones perfectas para bebidas y postres. Disfrutamos de la variedad de carnes todo lo que puedas comer, es un verdadero punto culminante. Gracias Viva Brasil por hacer memorable esta ocasión especial, ¡esperamos volver!

Nothing but great things to say about this place. I came from California where there's no so many Brazilian restaurants, so we came looking to feel at home. Good food, very nice place, so the service as well.

Since i had missed the delicious Brazilian food we decided to visit this restaurant. First timer...This Brazilian Steakhouse serves delicious food with a phenomenal service. The manager who assisted us was extremely hospitable and every member of the staff was very attentive and cordial. The price of the buffet is very reasonable. I tried a couple of meat cuts and they were excellent. The picanha, sausage, lamb, rice and beans and every bite was very savory and delicious. I really enjoyed the rice, farofa and beans!!!! Overall everything was very tasty. I ordered the maracujá caipirinha and I loved it. The restaurant is very unique and the service provided was outstanding. I was happy to enjoyed a truly Brazilian experience. We will revisit to try the desserts! ;)

Our waiter was very nice. He knew how to make us laugh and even gave us a free dessert when we left a review. His son who was also working behind the grill was super nice. It didn't feel like he was annoyed every time we asked him to cut us some meat. Some guys from our table even got to know him a bit so it felt like a welcoming social gathering in a way. The side items were great! I couldn't stop coming back for more cheese bread and bananas. The meat was good too but for the price it would have been great to get more cuts. There were some meats that were dry but overall the meats tasted good. Overall it was a good experience!

Nice ambiance, good food, and service, but, for the price the quality of the meet is not great.

The food here is beyond amazing and the services is well above excellent the picanha was the best I ever had and the rice and beans were exceptional my server Noe was very kind and patient overall 7 stars but the limit is 5

Food is always good and has Authentic south American flavor. staff is friendly and attentive to details, I appreciate the quantify of the plates. Kudos to the team keep it up.

Amazing ! We were a party of 10 looking for a nice meal, and we found it ! For start Great service, meat cook to order, every cut delicious! Salad bar incredible ! And deserts one better that the other ! Best one dulce de leche pancakes with vanilla ice cream 100% recommended! Congratulations to the servers, waitress and Asador ! We will be back !

The restaurant, the owner , FOOD and staff are all outstanding!!! We hosted my nieces baby shower here yesterday and from the planning stage to successfully executing our vision was seamless. Everyone was the epitome of professional. The ambience in my opinion is top notch , warm and inviting you can almost feel that the food is prepared with love. The separate banquet area is simply beautiful. From the up lighting, the dj music area, the decor in the room and the food is worth every cent and then some to host your event here. The food is amazingly delicious with selections for everyone vegetarians and meat lovers etc.,. I can't wait to dine here again and or host my next party.

This place is absolutely beautiful, don't be fooled by the outward appearance of this place. Once we entered this restaurant it's so clean, neat and spotless. The hostess and the staff working here were warm & welcoming. We tried the buffet which was good, loved the crab salad. Overall this place is a go to and it's quite feasible.

The food was delicious. This is a place where you get you plate and go to the buffet area to serve yourself as many times as you want. There is a wide variety of options. A salad bar, rice and beans area, soup, shrimp ravioli, typical brasilian appetizers, fish, pork, meats. Everything was very authentic. The caipirinhas were perfection. Abs the mouse de maracuja is to die for! The food is a flat rate of $40 per person and so worth it. Dessert and drinks are separate.

We've been here several times over the past few years and find it an alternative to the commercialized Texas de Brazil and Rodezio. Their food is always on par in quality. We enjoyed our meals tonight and where shocked when we got the bill to see an 18% service charge added to the total bill. When asked they said the fee is to cover table, silverware and glasses. The waiter/waitress only brought our cocktails, water and cleared our plates before going up for another round. I don't mind paying the higher price to enjoy the meal we had but to tack on 18% service charge than recommend a minimum 20% tip is over the top.

Delicious food and amazing price for lunch . Staff was very friendly and accommodating .

My husband and I finally decided to stop in and we are glad that we did. Once we entered the beautiful restaurant we were greeted and seated immediately. Don't let the outside of the building fool you, it's a really nice, date night spot. It's an all you can eat with a great variety salad bar and you go straight to the meat section yourself. This is so much better that waiting for them to serve you. We found the meat to be good quality and cooked for different tastes. The food was so good that we had to take dessert to go. We will be back!

Overall great experience. The service was exceptional. Our waitress was super attentive and friendly. Very nice ambiance at night. For approx $29 each you cant expect best quality meat but nothing some A1 cant fix. The sides are pretty good, nice variety more than most brazilian steakhouses ive been to. Definitely feels authetic since all staff is from brazil. The capirihnas are a must especially the classic and passionfruit ones. They seem to have expanded adding an area for private events which looks very nice. Overall I recommend and will definitely be back.

So Delicious. Good service. Always a pleasure to dine here. Thanks to our server stefani we will be back!

We decided to go here for my dad's birthday. We were a party of 5 adults and 3 children. The place is very nice and cozy. It is located in a small plaza, so plenty of parking. It is a buffet, due to COVID they bring all the things to you except the meat. They do not have a wide variety of mets but the ones that they offer are tasty. The waitress was very helpful. The price is very reasonable ($30 for all you can eat-does not include the drinks or dessert) but the appetizers are very tasty. Totally recommend this place! **forgot to take pictures!

We LOVE this place. The most amazing cheese bread you can imagine made fresh. Eat as much steak as you want and accompany it with authentic Brazilian side dishes. Their rice and beans are the best!!! Sweet plantains, salad, yuca and much much more! Make add dure you try a caipirinha. This is a Brazilian drink, they make it in different flavors. Service is exceptional.

This was my first visit to this restaurant, the food was very well cooked, the staff members were all very friendly and all helped out. The restaurant was very clean and the salad bar was kept clean and well stocked with fresh food This was a different Experience for me for a rhodesian restaurant. I'm use to them coming to the table, but wanted to give this a try since the reviews were so good. Glad I did, I will come back next time Im in the neighborhood

Ordered a few dishes here thru uber eats and was bot disappointed! Really tasty Peruvian food. Our group highly recommended the seafood and yellow rice dish as well as the ceviche! Would order from here again!

Don't let the unassuming exterior fool you. This place is tops. The food is authentic and delicious. The meat choices were not oversalted like some other restaurants. The service is exceptional. Great ambiance!

Very good good food , nice atmosphere, I stopped for dinner me and my husband... I was in vacation from Boston , and we discover this Brazilian restaurant in Hollywood . I recommend it .

This is a local take on the traditional Brazilian steakhouse. If your expecting a Fogo de Chão experience you will be disappointed. The buffet had plenty of choices and was ample. I do like that it's obviously a family run business. The person making beverages was the same person that served them and also cut the meat behind the counter. The bar was limited and several of our drinks had to be sent back. There were a lot of locals present. This is not a fancy place, but if you need a quick Brazilian fix it gets you there. The staff was super friendly and attentive.

Amazing food! Authentic Brazilian food and excellent service! I will recommend Viva Brazil to all my friends and family! From the salad to meat and deserts, everything was delicious!!!

Very good service and authentic Brazilian food. The meat it is good and the salad bar and hot food great. Do not get mistaken for the external appearances. I ill repeat as many times I had opportunity.

I did not know what to expect when I first arrived. The place looks small from the outside and it's on the corner of a busy intersection. When I first stepped in I was amazed by how spacious this restaurant is. We went for the lunch buffet, which was a great price when you consider the quality of the food you are receiving and the quality of service. Everyone in Viva Brazil had a smile on their face and a great attitude and light and loving energy. Obviously ya'll want to know about the food, so here it goes. The chicken croquettes are wow. Just wow. And the picanha and churrasco were juicy and delicious, especially when you ad a little of their homemade chimichurri. Guys, I am still full from this lunch and writing this review is making me want to eat it some more. They had little kibbe that were so good and crispy and some cheese balls that I can't remember the name of, but they were delicious. I don't have enough good things to say, just go and try it out. You won't regret it. PS. The dulce de leche crepe! Whatttt?!!!! I had taken a video of the server proceeded to flambé our crepe, but I can't seem to upload it :(. It was delicious!!!

This is a great place to watch a game I say. You are surrounded by big screen projectors. The audio is also great. I was here celebrating my birthday with family yesterday and found myself in the middle of a Soccer game. Boy this group is passionate about the game. This is a Buffett style restaurant. Its pretty big size. I was pleasantly greeted with freshly baked warm cheese bread. It was delicious. There is a section for salads and cold side dishes and a section where they have meats. The section where they have the meats it's like a window. There are diferent kinds of meats and sausages to choose. The person working the window then asks you how you would like your meat cook then serves you your meat. The portions are good size. The meat is perfectly cooked and flavorful. I had a skirt stake and another kind of beef I don't remember. There are sauses available for the meats mint, chimichurri, etc. I thought the meat absolutely delicious. There is a bar at the entrance of the restaurant that seems to have a good variety of wine and liquor. There where three mix drinks on display in a tray by the bar. I think they are traditional Brazilian drinks. They looked yummy. The staff was professional. The service and food was good. We all had a good time and our bellies where full what else can you ask for.

First time here this past Saturday night. We came in around 8pm and were seated right away, it got pretty busy around 8:30. This is somewhat similar to Texas De Brazil and Chima in terms of an all you can eat, Brazilian steakhouse, however, it is ALL self serve. It is a buffet style with someone at the end preparing and serving the meat. The line got pretty backed up much of the time and sometimes the meat was actually cold. I did like that it was not as salty as some of the other places we've been. The picanha was, according to my boyfriend, the best he'd ever had. Some of the items in the buffet consisted of a salad bar, rice, beans, plantains, yucca, small rolls (frozen???) and lobster bisque (yum!) The waitress was kind and they were attentive in terms of clearing dirty plates, but never offered to refill waters- we had to seek them out. Overall it was a decent experience, but I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend or go back. It was also a little too pricey for the experience.

This place is an absolute waste of money. We came in for lunch (2 of us) and we're told it would be $32.99 all you can eat. Great? Right? Sike! There was only about 4-5 cuts of meats. That wouldn't typically be a problem, but quality and flavor were not invited to that grill. We also ordered a passion fruit juice, that was probably the worse thing that has ever passed my mouth. They used the concentrated bottle and just added ice. On a high note, the staff was very nice. My only concern is the 18% service fee that was added on the tab. I've already been robbed for a plate of food, now I'm being forced to pay 18% more? I don't find the practices at this establishment to serve the customers rather than to benefit the owners pocket.

This place is amazing the food was really good and the service was great! It's like a buffet style pretty good!! They have all the condiments on a shelf on top of the food! Its out for you so you can get whatever you crave! To be honest the food was so good I didn't need any extra hot sauce or steak sauce! My favorite was the beef ribs and you can choose the meat you want or however much you want to eat. The drinks are really good too I tried the berry one I would recommend that one!

Staff was pretty attentive especially for such a large party. Caipirinha was sour at first but once I figured out all the sugar was at the bottom of the glass I was able to adjust the taste. Buffet has many sides to choose from ranging from salads to variety of meats. Definitely went back to try all meats as I couldn't fit everything in my plate the first time. You will leave stuffed!

3 1/2 stars. Don't let the neighborhood fool you. Viva Brazil is lovely inside. It looks like a charming farmhouse, with wood tables, low lighting, and flowers. This is not your typical fancy, expensive Brazilian Steak House. Instead of the meats being sliced and served table side, you have to get up and get the meat yourself. There are several varieties to choose from-different cuts of steak, sausage, chicken, with bacon, pork. You will not find some of the higher end cuts of meat like filet and lamb chops. I tasted the flank steak and chicken. They were both marinated and tasty. The picanha was pretty dry. As with other Brazilian Steak Houses there is a salad bar. The salad bar here is L-shaped. A good portion of it consists of items for an actual salad: Greens, veggies, croutons, etc. There is also lobster bisque. I found this lobster bisque to be better than the bisque at other steak houses. There are several other types of food on the salad bar but not much of it stood out to me. Several of the items were fried. I did try the fried eggplant and it was good. There were even entree type of dishes on the bar like a steak stew or goulash and a tilapia. I tried the tilapia and was not impressed. Additionally, there were several items on the salad bar that were not labeled and I had no idea what they were. At other Brazilian steak houses I can easily make a meal out of the salad bar offerings, but I do not know if I can do that here. We did not need much service but when we did need drink refills and plate cleared, the server was friendly and attentive. There was only guy carving the meat so sometimes the line got pretty long. Overall however, a great value. We paid $26 per adult and half price for the kids. Viva Brazil is an adequate lower priced alternative to the expensive Brazilian Steak Houses when you are in the mood for Rodizio but not the high price

WHAT A PLACE! Great low key place. Great Value. Unbelievable food. Generous selection at the Buffet 5 Stars!

Be careful asked for a menu no menu food was ok; had 2 domestic beers and desert, the $38 buffet for 2 came to 142.00 felt used

This is a totally overpriced restaurant for que quality of food it serves. With a very limited variety of BBQ and poor salad bar, it charges almost as much as upscale Brazilian steakhouses life Fogo de Chão, Chima, Rodízio Grill. For a simple lunch. This is my first and last time to visit this place. I would give half star if I could.

Surprise! What a nice surprise! Group of us went to dinner on a Friday night. Got there just before the crowd. Grabbed a table near the buffet tables and cruised the line of food that was on the buffet table. Then over to the BBQ pit where a handsome young man was tending the meat. I asked if he had any lamb and he pulled a skewer with a large hunk of leg of lamb on it.. He carved some nice thin slices off the hunk of lamb and looked at me and smiled. I told him to continue.. He piled the lamb on my plate. It was incredibly delicious, juicy and properly cooked. Medium rare, not shoe leather well done... The buffet tables had salads, appetizers, cheese, fruit, those fried things with the pureed food inside... croquettas? I believe that's what they're called.. Price was good. Place was busy. Get there early before the crowds.. Waitstaff was attentive, and food was freshly made. I watched people coming out of the kitchen and refilling stuff on the buffet tables.. So, they never let anything go empty. They keep refilling the bowls of food on the buffet tables. I'm actually looking forward to my next visit... As a meat lover, this place was perfect for me.. and it was a great spot for meeting up with friends and enjoying a meal.. I will return. Truth be told: we were deciding between this place and Texas de Brazil but the prices at TdB were ridiculous.. This place won on price, alone!

I was on a business trip and was craving for Brazilian food (I am Brazilian) when I found this place. It was my birthday and my husband and I stopped for lunch. I can only say that the food was fairly authentic and delicious, the meats were very tasty and the service super friendly as well as attentive. I also got a typical Brazilian dessert as a surprise gift, passion fruit mousse, with a candle on it! The ambiance is also very pleasant and comfortable. Could not have been a better experience for me on my special day!

The place used to be cheap , now it's almost 40$ for dinner with forced 18% tip your dinner for two is almost 100$ , and we didn't have anything to drink just water . Not worth it anymore , better off go to a chain you get more for your buck
