Boi Brazil Churrascaria

We went here for magical dining to try it out. I would say the food options were pretty good and some items were better than others. I recommend the flank steak as that was the best and most flavorful meat in my opinion. I tried all the beef options and they were decent. They had lots of hot food options to choose from which I liked. It did need hot sauce but for the price of $40 per person during magical dining it was worth it. Also ask for the cheese bread our waiter didn't give us any but it's amazing! The inside of the restaurant was a little older but still very nice and clean when we went. Since it was unlimited we left very stuffed! Also get the cheesecake for dessert.

The food here is salty. I can't hang. I like some salt. But this was overwhelming. Almost all meats we tried were salty. Some flavor. Garlic butter steak was good. Definitely had flavor. Probably the one we enjoyed the most. The lamb was chewy. Didn't enjoy it. The salad/hot dishes bar was underwhelming. The beef risotto was gross. All the other stuff at the salad bar was normal stuff. The hot dishes were meh at most. Didn't enjoy it too. The servers were all nice. Even though we did magical dining. Everything was short of magical. The restaurant was rather empty. I was asked and when the reservation was made online if there was a special occasion we were celebrating. I said yes to the hostess and notated that online as well. No one dang happy birthday or anything to my hubby. But 2 other tables got a nice song. Hubs didn't care for it but it was also his special day so I wanted it to be a little special. This place missed that mark all across the board. We will not be dining here again. The plaza has a bunch of other restaurants and other things to do. Parking can be tight. But still plenty of spots.

Came in for a date night. We love brazilian steakhouses and are always looking to try new places. Unfortunately, this place just didn't stick with us. Service was weirdly timed, with periods of time during which meat was being served back-to-back-to-back-to-back in quick succession and some periods of time during which we didn't even see a server. The food at the buffet bar had been visibly sitting out for a while, and definitely tasted that way as well. The taste of the meat just wasn't good enough to warrant all the other faults. Perhaps it was just a bad night?

Pros: Came here for Magical Dining. It was just their normal menu, with dessert, but at the Magical Dining price. The food is always amazing at places like these. Various meats made with various marinades and crusts and such. Their salad bar is actually packed with a lot of good stuff. I love the rice and beans. Service is amazing, too. There's always someone around to bring you anything you need.Cons:The meats come a little too fast sometimes, and it leaves you overwhelmed! But you acclimate in time. Tips:Don't fill up on the delicious salad bar items! Leave room for the main event, the meat!

We got here right after they opened on our trip to Florida. That meant all the food was fresh, and hot. The staff was friendly, and came by often offering more, and more food. "House special, Picanha" they kept saying. With the first cut on the steaks, it was really seasoned, almost over seasoned, but still tasted great. With all of the food, and meat that we ate, we didn't even make it to the hotel before the 'itis kicked in and we had to pull over for a nap. I swear, we slept about an hour or so. We will go back again on the next trip to Florida, as the food was nice and enjoyable.#517

Seven weekends of Magical Dining Month. Seven restaurants chosen for amazing menu effort. Too many restaurants phone it in for MDM and offer chicken (boring) or a cedar-plank salmon (yawn). Out of literally hundreds of restaurants, you have to stand out somehow. I ranked all the restaurants, and sought out the best of the best. Boi Brazil was one of the best of the best. Obviously, it's a little different, with the salad bar, the meat, and the desserts, but still, the way it was presented, and the fact that I haven't been to a Brazilian steakhouse in years, meant that this place made my top seven. So I made my reservations, showed up on time, and got seated immediately. I was instantly bombarded by the meat guachos. Offers left and right, flank steak, garlic steak, bacon-wrapped chicken, barbecue chicken, the picanha, everything you can imagine. There's a sense of overwhelming to it at first, but don't fret, just collect your meat, collect your thoughts, and divide and conquer. The salad bar. You obviously don't want to fill up here. Skip the salad, grab very few fun items, like the mushrooms and the mozz balls, and visit the hot bar for some meat accompaniments, like rice and beans, maybe a roll. After your one visit to the bar, grab another big plate and bring it back to the table so you can have a good work surface for your meat. If you look at the MDM menu, it names dozens of meat options, but you'll notice that a few of them are the ones you see most often, like the flank steak, the chickens, etc. The premium options don't rotate as often, for obvious reasons, so don't be afraid to keep saying no thank you and waiting for the good stuff. I even had to special request the beef ribs come to me. Don't be afraid of that either. Overall, the best meats I remember were the picanha, the rarer the better, the parmesan pork was amazing, the Brazilian sausage was delicious, had a good snap to it, the barbecue chicken was scrumptious, and as long as you get it medium rare, the lamb was wonderful, too. So aim for these meats. After you get your fill of the meats, take your time, you get to the desserts. The Flan (A blend of condensed milk, milk, eggs and caramel) and the New York Style Cheesecake (America original cheesecake served with a strawberry topping) were both a-ok, and you will be craving something sweet at the end of all this umami. Overall, I'm so happy that I got into a Brazilian steakhouse again after so many years away. And I'm so happy they participate in MDM. I hope they get a lot of new traffic and a lot of new, loyal customers. Thanks for the great meal, Boi Brazil .

I was overwhelmed by the amount of food that I ate before the photos. I know I know I forgot to take more photos. Hector, my host, did a phenomenal job making my drink and giving me recommendations. Also, going above and beyond explaining the menu and the magical dining. I felt at ease and relaxed. The open space was well needed with a large group. I will definitely say try the flank steak and the picanha. Those were my favorite cuts there. Any of the chicken served was not to my liking. I almost when I took a bite out of the bacon wrapped chicken and the drum stick. Don't do it. Stick to the steaks, and you will be fine. The dessert options were flan (absolutely delicious), cheese cake, and passion fruit mousse (amazing!!!!.). They do have a salad and cold bar with tuna salad and other items. Hot bar with rice beans, beef , plantains, spaghetti, and mash. Thank you to the amazing staff again. Everyone was so friendly and served with joy and smiles.

This was our first time visiting, and we were excited to try it.The service was outstanding--our waitress was super attentive, knowledgeable, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal.The food quality was excellent. All the cuts of meat were cooked to perfection, and I received a great variety, each one flavorful and tender. The salad bar was incredible, offering a fresh and diverse selection that perfectly complemented our meal.The prices were very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food and service.Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we'll definitely be returning!

"Valentine's Day massacre"Shame on me for making last minute reservations on the most important day of the year for couples! I should have known better when we seen it was in a strip mall next to a pool hall. Well we walked in and immediately we felt the vibe was off. The place has an old saloon vibe to it. They sat us and briefly explained how it works as far as the food options. We sat there for like 10 min before we realized we had to go grab our own plates at the salad bar in order to be served. The first cut of meat was fine then the nightmare began, we like our meat medium well and all they kept bringing us was rare. After a while they seen that we barely ate any meat they asked if we would like it more cooked and once again I said sure MEDIUM WELL! then we started to get served the burnt portions of meat. I asked the goucho to please find us a server as we still have not been served water or Brazilian bread. A server never came and the bread was bought out by the same guy that served my meat. At this point I got fed up and asked for the bill. I get the bill and lo and behold the gratuity was pre charged at 20% for a server that never existed. With so many wonderful options in Orlando I'm not sure how this place is surviving. I guess after going to Texas de Brazil or Fogo de Chão the standards were set pretty high for us. One piece of advice I can give is please read the reviews.

Today is Valentine's Day and it was PACKED. Which is completely understandable for time to be a little messy. However with us putting in a reservation for the restaurant I wouldn't think that we would have much issue. 8:00pm reservations weren't getting seated till 9:00pm and so on. But when I asked if I could be notified I was told fine. And before I could give my number, I was subsequently hung up on. I don't feel like I should've been the one to have repercussions from their mistake on reservations.
