If you want to end your evening happy and content in a meat coma, this is the place to go. I have been dining here for years and never leave disappointed.Some people call the decor dated but I really enjoy the ambience. As soon as you enter, the lobby looks nice with a wall waterfall over dark stone. The bar is to the right along with an attached dining area. The main dining area is large with a blue painted wood ceiling.As soon as you are seated, a generous basket of Brazilian cheese balls arrives. A delicious bread outside with soft mild cheese on the inside, you could just eat multiple baskets of them and be happy. The buffet area is extensive and has a good variety of meats cheeses and bread, shrimp cocktail, various soups and salads, and usually chicken and fish dishes also.The real gem is the churrascaria. They are no slow pokes here and the various skewers of meat arrive at your table pretty much non stop. On this visit we enjoyed multiple rounds of skirt steak, beef rib, picanha, top sirloin, ribeye, lemon pepper sirloin, tri-tip, pork sausage, lamb, beef brisket, chicken hearts, grilled pineapple, and grilled garlic bread. You can request a specific meat and they'll throw it right on the grill for you.They have a good wine list and we had a bottle of Malbec. If you actually have room left for dessert, the dessert menu is mouth watering and you'll wish you saved more room. I had the lemoncello flute again this time which is light and refreshing. I have had most of the ripienos which are delicious and are served in the actual shell of the real fruit.Service is great and the staff is always friendly and very attentive. For $69 (as of February 2025), it is very reasonably priced. I will continue to return again and again.

My first experience years ago was at the West Covina location, which is now sold. It was amazing so I was happy to find this location closer to home. At first it was good, newer cleaner fancier. That was then. Since then the model has become popular so other places popped up. To compare, some are not as good, some are much better. The last couple times I've been here was disappointing to the point I decided to go elsewhere. I think what's happened is a standard business practice. We need to make more money so we're cutting corners. Lower quality, shorter service all equal a lower quality experience which in turn means fewer customers. This is why the tables are now empty when before they were all full with people waiting. I really hope they turn it around. This was my introduction to Brazilian bbq and it holds some nostalgia in my heart.

Our party dined there last Saturday and unfortunately, our dining experience fell far short of the standard I had expected, especially given the occasion.It was our first time dining at the restaurant and we were looking forward to good food and a memorable experience. However, things went awry from the moment we were served our bottle of champagne. The champagne was spilled all over the table, with the additional spills all over my glass. The server laughed and found this amusing instead of apologizing. To make matters worse, the ice bucket we requested and should be standard to go with a bottle of champagne, was never brought to our table which compounded the issue.Beyond this, the level of service was severely lacking. Our server, who was juggling both the bar and serving our table, only checked on us once throughout the entire meal. We had to wait a long time for our meat dishes. In addition to this, one of our party didn't even get a plate until we asked!Given that we were celebrating a special occasion, I was expecting a much higher level of service and professionalism. I do not think I will return.

I've always loved this Brazilian BBQ spot and even found it better than Fogo de Chão in the past. However, my recent visit was a bit disappointing. The buffet of sides didn't seem as fresh as I remembered. Additionally, the wait time between servings of meat was unusually long, despite it not being a busy period. While I still appreciate their flavors and ambiance, this visit fell short of the high standard they've set in the past. Hoping for a better experience next time!

Servers and food were all amazing. Top tier service by all. I love me some Brazilian food and the picanah definitely delivered. Mashed potatoes were also on point.

Amazing! I'm sooooo full. Our party of 4 was seated right away. We grabbed some salads, rice, and appetizers to eat w/ our meats. Good good! I had the spinach salad, beets, potato salad, Cesar salad, cucumbers, etc. all went great w/ the sirloin, rib eye, turkey wrapped bacon, garlic steak. The desserts were bomb! We tried the lemonchello, choc, carrot and red velvet cakes, coconut and lemon desserts. ALL good!! We walked from our hotel next door, but there's a lot w/ plenty of parking. There were several groups of large parties. Lots of room for intimate settings or groups.

The inside is much better than the outside-a bit dated but clean. Service was ok our server spent more time watching the TV at the bar than us. The salad bar and buffet area had average items and to be frank the meats were not that great. Once you get the bill you will wonder what you paid for.

Went here to celebrate a birthday and while the ambiance and service was good, the food was in my opinion not worth the cost. I would say the best meat served was their specialty, Picanha. There were 6 people in our party and the bill came to $550! In addition to the buffet meal we order maybe 3 beers and one mixed drink. We order 3 deserts. It was extremely expensive so be aware to dig deep into your pocket when coming here.

I've been coming here for years and two major complaints. We did not get cheese bread until after 30-45 mins into our meal. That's quite a long wait especially being on a Friday night at 6PM dinner rush. Another disappointment was no grilled pineapple. Our waiter said they ran out and did not get enough orders. I asked if it was a "special" pineapple and it wasn't. They could've went to the many grocery stores down the street to fix this issue. Instead they gave us banana, which is ok. For two dinners and a drink $172 these two issues should've been avoided.
