Summary: Changed owners since we came here last. A decent adaptation of a Brazilian Steakhouse to…read morethe American palate. Missing: 1) Seasoning. Traditional Brazilian barbecue uses coarse salt on the meat that is cooked over an open flame or direct heat source. None of the meat was seasoned this way. 2) Farofa (unforgivable oversight for Brazilians). 3) Lightly breaded, fried bananas - a churrascaria staple. 4) Picanha com alho (garlic) - They served a garlic covered cheaper piece of meat. 5) Creme de Papaya com Cassis. Service was efficient, and they ran a special for people celebrating their birthday. The birthday person gets their main course for free. 20% tip was automatically added. Our server reminded us that was divided between them and other staff and pointed out the space where we could add an additional tip. Ambiance was traditional Brazilian steakhouse, with a small salad bar with hot food selections, as well. Conclusion: If you want an authentic Brazilian Steakhouse / Churrascaria experience, you're better off driving into Philadelphia, to King of Prussia, or Easton where you can still find it. It's worth the drive at this price point.

They have a 35-40 foot buffet of meats, vegetables and traditional side dishes. We tried them all and the flavors were very satisfying. I should say that I prefer the family run churrascos in lieu of the over commercialized chains. You could feel the close knit family vibe in the front and back of house. The gauchos were wonderful bringing their selections of beef, chicken and linguisa. Cooked to order and very well favored. The favors were good and allowed you to taste the meats and not just the spice. The servers were wonderful. The buffet was well stocked and maintained. The restaurant was very clean and welcoming. When we finished the meal the gaucho brought out grilled pineapple for all of us to share. This was a nice tasty touch. They even offered more once it was eaten. Overall a great dinner and a good choice to bring family and friends. We will be back again! Thanks! P.S. they also have a bakery next door as part of the restaurant. Very good looking selections of pies, breads and cakes.

I wanted to try their Bife à Cavalo - Grilled steak w fried egg, served with beans and rice for sides. The food was very good, fresh and made to order.

They were also delicious. There were more pastries I seen on the display that I'd love to go back for.

We found out that most of the people (regulars) who usually come here are on their vacation season so it was not an issue getting a six-top reservation with only a day's notice. The restaurant is huge with at least two mega rooms downstairs and one upstairs. We actually went to the upstairs door to check in only to be told we had to go to the downstairs door and check in there. Once we did, the staff asked if we would be ok with being in the "party" room where there would be a DJ. We were fine with that and the staff was more than happy to accommodate us. Once at our table, the extensive menus made it almost too difficult to decide what we wanted. May want to consider reducing the food options here. My wife and I split a tomahawk steak. Once we ordered it, we were told we should probably move to an eight-top because we would have more space. The place was almost empty at 6:15pm on a Saturday so we got to move and give us some more room. We also had two serving of Plov, a prime NY strip, a roasted beet salad, and a chicken fingers with fries. We added some bread, too, along with some compote. The Plov was some of the best we've ever had with lots of tender meat. Both steaks were cooked to our liking. Fries were killer and the chicken fingers were fine. I did not care for the compote as I'm used to it with fruit still in the drink. At about 7pm, the DJ started but there was no separate party which is what we thought was going to show up. The DJ sang some and played up-tempo dance music but also threw in some known music like Ob-Bla-Dee Ob-Bla-Dah from the Beatles also in the dance music style. So much fun after drinking a lot of our BYOB alcohol. Service was excellent and more than accommodating for us. He even advised when we were getting ready to leave that it was raining hard and we could stay until it died down. The restaurant is colorful with lights and designs on the walls including projector lights and white linen sheets above. The place was clean and also the bathrooms on the lower rear level. $305 not including tip for six adults which included two steaks, two Plov, chicken fingers with fries, three breads, and a compote. I mention a lot with my reviews that I'd come back to a place. I really can't wait to return to Samarkand! It was just a lot of fun with excellent food and service. I hope it's just as good when the place is slammed and full.

So she and my daughter picked me up and drove me up and I was blown away by the experience. This isn't like that high end Brazilian steakhouse chain that we all love but rather it's a locally owned restaurant. where you go up to a buffet and you select your vegetables, and then you go to the counter and select your meats And then they weigh your plate. So everyone in your party gets their plates weighed and your party is assigned a number on a placard which you take back to your table. Once you want more food, you repeat the process and hand them your number. What your entire party has eaten is electronically recorded and when you ask for your check it's totaled up. My friend has eaten there many times and has never seen a discrepancy in the check nor did I. It's a great system. The food is exceptional. I loved trying some new Brazilian side items that I have never had. And on this visit, I was lucky to try a soda made from a fruit from the Brazilian rainforest. This was a new food adventure for me and one that I'm going to try again and again.

We parked on the street but it looks like they have their own parking lot in the back. We walked in from the street side, but weren't sure where to go since there is also another entrance on the other side of the restaurant, We wandered around until someone asked if we wanted to be seated. We said yes, and they said we could sit wherever. The place was bustling. So many people came in after we did, and there we saw a lot of take out orders being picked up as well. Their menu is pretty extensive. We decided to split the Chicago burger and fries. We saw everyone ordering these pitchers of drinks. We didn't ask and assumed it was Sergio's drink on the menu. We ordered a raspberry lime. It ended up being their version of bottle soda...which was very good. We realized it was the pitcher of smoothies everyone was ordering. We definitely felt like we missed out, but will try next time. We were checking out what everyone was getting. A lot of acai bowls were being delivered to tables. They looked really good. The small one looked like a large size from other places. Someone ordered a large and the bowl was huge!! Our Chicago Burger came out and looked great. The meat was a little different from a traditional burger, but was very tasty. The cheese on it was so good. I took some of it and put it on the fries. The fries were very good too. Almost like a double fry. Looking at the menu there are also two other locations; one in Long Branch, NJ and one in Philly.
