If you looking for a place where you can have a fantastic food with amazing meat Alma Gaúcha is the place to go. The meats are fantastic and done just right and the buffet is loaded with a great variety of foods (because of COVID-19 they serve you the food from the buffet). It's a fixed price and are all-you-can-eat, patrons receive a red card and a green card at their table. If you put up the green card, the servers will know you are ready to eat, and the meat keeps coming, and if you put up the red card, they will stop bringing food. Delicious food!!! ... and the caipirinhas are fantastic. They make great ones with different flavors. The staff is fantastic. Excellent service. There is definitely something for everyone. I strongly recommend it. read more

What a great experience! For a business that is a buffet they do an AMAZING job giving you that full service during a time where it can be a challenge. The meat came out hot and fresh and delicious and fast! The manager and wait staff were all very helpful and knowledgeable and clean. Everyone wore masks if you are worried. The experience started with filling out the checklist from both the hot sides and salad bar and were brought over on small trays and you could always get more! We tried almost everything but my favorites were the apple salad and the polenta. The meat was perfectly seasoned and some of our favorite meats where filet mignon, picanha, and chicken hearts. The table did get pretty crowded but the sides were there if you wanted them which was nice. NOW let me tell you about this caipirinha I had. It was one the best mixed drinks I have EVER had. I would come back here and just get 10 of these if I could! It was that good. Only thing is... keep in mind that Brazilian steakhouses are expensive and be willing to spend a good amount on dinner! Lunch is a little bit better priced! I just want to say overall great experience and service and so happy with how the night was during such an odd time. read more

My wife and I were regular customers at Fogo De Chao. But this new Gaucha place is better! In pretty much every way! The manager at alma gaucha used to be the manager at fogo for almost 20 years. So the guy definitely know what he is doing! I think this new place will be our Brazilian bbq goto place going forward. Btw, the parking is way easier here compared to fogo at back bay. read more

The food is fine. Been there several times. But what is the point of a reservation system if you get there and they still make you wait 30 minutes and seat walk ups before honoring your reservation. They would have received 1 star for this but the food is decent. read more

We came for dinner and truly had a lovely night! The salad buffet had delicious veggies and salads as well as shrimp, smoked salmon, and an assortment of cheeses. They also had clam chowder, which had nice big chunks of clam and great flavor! The meats were tender and well seasoned, my favorite was the lamb! When you go, you must try the grilled cheese with honey; I must have had three pieces just on my own. This restaurant had some of the most outstanding service we had ever experienced. One of the owners, Anna, regularly checked in on us to make sure we received a nice assortment of meats (she knew we did not eat pork so wanted to ensure we'd get a nice variety). We felt so welcomed and comfortable, and can't wait to visit again! read more

I love this place! I have been here numerous times and can't get enough of this places! Everyone that I bring here loves it. The food and the selection of meats are fantastic. The drinks are great. The cheesy bread and the fried cheese with honey, wow! Give them a try, and you will be hooked! read more

Everything is Incredible fron the front desk to the waitres I feel like I was on my on table ( home) everyone extremely helpful and pleasant to assist you with any request. Sr.Anronio and Paulo they are stupendous read more

As a native Brazilian I can say that this place is hands down the best brazilian steakhouse in Boston and probably the whole New England. Location, food, drinks and service are absolutely top notch!!! We'll definitely come back! read more

Alma Gaucha - Strawberry Caipirinha - Steakhouses Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

What a wonderful experience on a random Saturday afternoon! Restaurant is very upscale/high end in its atmosphere and service but friendly enough to allow patrons to come casually dressed. There were families, dates, and an eclectic mixed crowd. Nice vibe! First time I see that for this type of restaurant. I strongly recommend it. The cuts and offerings were well seasoned, well presented and the service was outstanding and not overbearing. I really appreciated their pace in bringing out their choice selections. Hot bar and fresh salad bar was not terribly expansive but what was present was delicious. My guest who is a picky eater ate more than I did and thoroughly enjoyed their time. I loved the service I received and reflected that in my gratuity. Sweet spot for an evening out. Definitely will come again. Only complaint I've seen city and state wide is that whether you order a cappuccino or latte or any hot beverage--everywhere I go I get tepid coffee. That's a major no no. It's not just this restaurant it's in the coffee shops and elsewhere. Not sure if there is an ordinance on the temperature of hot beverages. That's the only suggestion. Coffee lovers like hot coffee. The crème brûlée dessert was delicious! Thank you. read more

Visited post-COVID reopening (June '20), so the patio was open but unfortunately not the nicely renovated interior. Given the challenging times for restaurants, and coming off a horrible experience at a different establishment the night prior, I was braced for a rough time, and was pleasantly surprised by a fantastic experience. Service first - the staff were uniformly polite, professional and attentive. The owner dropped by at one point and truly wanted to know how our night was going. Despite the difficulty of limited capacity, having to wear masks, etc., the staff still made the night feel like a high end dining experience. The food was good to great all around. The crab cake appetizer was a little on the soft side, but delicious. The only hiccup was that the asparagus side, which was presented chilled and a bit undercooked. Though not awful, it felt at odds with the rest of the menu. But every other side dish was lovely, including perfectly cooked glazed bananas and buttery mashed potatoes. For the main experience, every meat was flavorful, tender and well seasoned - the lamb was especially excellent, but it's all worth trying. Your greatest challenge here will be leaving any room for dessert. For that, we enjoyed the creme brûlée and passionfruit cheesecake - both tasty, although the creme brûlée was the star. All around a great night despite the difficult environment for restaurants - I'm looking forward to going back when the interior is open. read more

Fabulous food, bring your appetite. Incredible service - thank you Sergio for a great night out.

When steak comes to mind. This is the place you go to. Can be on the pricier side but the quality of the food and service is next level. I have never had such amazing service from waiters, bartenders, and managers as I have had here. Food, meat, drinks, desert. Top notch. At any time of day. read more

Excellent food and service. A lot of variety. Great atmosphere. Parking is a bit of headache around there.

Everything, I mean everything, was perfect! From the buffet items, fresh fruit, wonderful salads, perfect rice and black beans, it was filled with items to delight any taste. The servers were wonderfully attentive, not to mention hot! They met our every need, including practically running to get us chimichurri, hot sauce and mint jelly. The meat! Oh my god. The meat was amazing! The sirloin and filet was the best we've ever had! And the lamb chop was so perfect! Then to top it all off, the plantain was like an amazing dessert! They were so friendly! We had a blast! read more

Great food, location, and staff! I enjoyed the beef ribs, lamb ribs, and filet mignon the most. Have to love the unlimited amount of cheesy brand and polenta. They were very accommodating as we had kids in our party and also a food allergy. The salad bar had a variety of foods. I usually eat a lot of the mushrooms but I thought they were a bit too salty. I liked the peppers and smoked salmon. For dessert we tried the papaya ice cream. It didn't look fancy but it was really good. Went well with a black cup of delicous coffee. Street parking was easy for lunch. Will be back again. read more

This place is new. The staff is so welcoming, great, and super attentive. The salad bar is smaller than I thought but good. The caphirana selection is huge and very good. They had a good variety of meat and they were all pretty good. We had the chocolate molten for dessert and it was absolutely delicious. I think when we went it had just opened so the staff would come up to us with meat even though the sign was red but I am sure they figure it out now. Would definitely go back read more

As a Brazilian, I hold very high standards for Brazilian cuisine. This place far exceeded expectations! The meats were incredible, the fraldinha and the alcatra was my top favorites - both extremely tender and savory. I asked if they could make a passion fruit martini that wasn't on the menu - the bartender not only made it happen, but it was by far the best one I've had in the US. Not too sweet, and not too tart - just perfection. Lastly, the service and staff was exceptional -- very friendly and welcoming. Easily the best Brazilian restaurant I've eaten at! Highly recommend. read more

See all

Wonderful service. Underwhelming buffet. Cheap cuts of meat. Overpriced. Will not go back for sure

Very good and delicious burgers. Also, the restaurant is clean with good atmosphere. The service and staff are good.

My daughter and I were staying at the Aloft Hotel for a Volleyball Tournament and we decided to go with another mom and daughter to eat an early dinner. It was our first experience with a Brazilian Steakhouse and it was an excellent one! The service was excellent, the food was incredible from the chicken to the filet, it was just mouth wastering delicious. The waiters just kept filling out plate with food we were stuffed! The wine choices were also excellent. This restaurant was well worth the cost, it was a fun experience with friends. Highly recommend. I look forward to going back next time we are in Boston. read more

We made a reservation for restaurant week and we we're under the impression that it is $41 per person with that promotion. However, the bill did not reflect that and we were charged the regular rate. We've gone last year during restaurant week and enjoyed the experience. However, I am really disappointed by the misinformation this time around. read more

I was really excited about this place, but it was very disappointing. The first major thing I noticed was that the meat was either over-cooked and tough or it was rare with a lot of chewy pieces of fat. One might expect that the quantity may overweigh the quality. However, it cost $200(for two people) including tip which is not a crazy price for a Brazilian steakhouse, but definitely a crazy price for subpar food. read more

insanely good service and the best restaurant to celebrate any anniversary. infinity stars/10 the food was excellent and the best part i feel like was the cheese with honey! very cozy vibe and very clean, highly recommend read more

Really enjoyed celebrating our mom's birthday here. Meats were seasoned and cooked very well. Space is clean and comfortable. Had a caipirinha and it was very good! Also enjoyed the options they had for the sides. I recommend you check it out! read more

Meats were delicious and the sides were too. The delicious bacon was great as well as the other sides. Would I go back? Yes for sure.

We went to Alma for my dad's birthday celebration with a group of 20. The restaurant was very accommodating for our party size. The designated server for our party was extremely attentive. Loved that they were able to generate separate checks for each family without any issues. And the food quality was on point. They have maintained their quality standards since opening. Thank you Alma Gaúcha! read more

I loved it here, we had come here once before and everything was delicious so I decided to host my boyfriends bday dinner here, they were super accommodating and had no problem setting up a table for 18. They have the freshest salad bar area with lightly seasoned veggies, fruits, cheeses and a hot bar section with soups and rice and beans. They also have a candied bacon that's delicious. The meats came around at a good pace I didn't feel like we missed anything each one came around at least 3 times, everyone was raving about the meats and we had a great time read more

Boston's best barbecue. Our family comes to this place often, and we always love the amazing quality and service. I would like to say thank you very much to the waiter David who served us today. Super attentive and friendly especially with our children. Thank you so much read more

Rodizio food quality way above Fogo de Chao. Service very good with attentive and respectful staff. The place is upscale and pleasant.

Another great place to eat . Service was great . Not to crowded which I love. Cocktails delicious. Meats nicely seasoned well cooked . Dessert was great cheese cake and chocolate moose was good. Love Brazilian food read more

Ordered the filet and ribeye. Possibly the worst steak I have ever had. Asked for it medium rare and got it well done. There was a large slice on the top of the filet where the cook checked to see if it was done. Asparagus tasted like some kind of fuel. Tasted like chemicals. The only thing that was good was the mashed potatoes. Won't be back read more

Absolutely amazing, from beginning to end. Came on a weeknight for my birthday because I love Brazilian food. The steakhouse is a typical set up with appetizers/salad before they bring the meat around. What stood out was the quality of the food and the service. My GOD, the service. Truly incredible. I mentioned that lamb was a favorite of mine, and they brought out mint jelly to eat with it. When we wanted more ribeye, it appeared instantly. Best caipirinhas I've ever had, plus a slice of mango-passion fruit cheesecake on the house. I was blown away by how friendly and excellent the service was, and of course the steak/sausage/lamb/chicken was to die for. I will be returning as soon as I finish digesting, although that may be roughly the time of the next Olympiad. 5 f***ing stars. Obrigado!!! read more

Valentine's Day was our first time here. From the moment we arrived until we left, we received top notch & genuine customer service. Staff was very attentive and the food was amazing...delicious! read more

Everything is perfect the best churrascaria in EUA . Amazing food and service . The best carajillo as after dinner drink read more

Took a slightly earlier reservation before it got really busy around 8, 8:15pm. Overall enjoyed how quick to serve they were through the number of staff who were walking around with various samples. Buffet style salad, soup, and sides bar was great too. read more

I've had both the all you can eat and the take out plates and the food does not disappoint. All of the meats are delicious, the sides are a good pairing but the desserts are the highlight of the night. I would go here every weekend if my metabolism could handle it. read more
