My second time trying this place was also a Doordash order. However, this time Botteco Brazil exceeded my (albeit low) expectations. This time, the steak was cooked very well. The vegetables, french fries, and rice were all very good complements to the steak. And, even though it was a delivery order, nothing in the dish was soggy or dry. read more

I am so glad I walked in. The restaurant has about four 6 top tables and we grabbed the last one open. We tried the seafood stew and the steak. Both are superb. The seafood stew brought up old memories. The flavors are bold and comforting on a rainy day. The steak was cooked perfectly. I also enjoyed the black beans even though I don't usually like it. Cherry on top is I like their 80's music :) read more

I'm in love. THE Juiciest, fattiest, MOST flavorful steak I have ever had from a restaurant. My GOSH. We opt to split the churrasco platter ($23.90), which came with three types of meat - picanha, colloute, and pork sausage (this reminded me of lil smokies). Delicious rice, beans, and potato salad too. And then we ordered the Picanha Special ($24.50) because we couldn't resist, which came with juicy, fatty steak bites, crispy fries, and (bonus!) yummy fried bananas. If you don't like FAT in your steak, beware. I'm obsessed though. Location is sort of random and there's limited seating inside. read more

Very nice steakhouse with a chill atmosphere. Food & Service was a A+, easily best Brazilian steak I've ever had and portions are HUGE for such a good price especially in today's times. My gf couldn't eat all of her food, so the server gave us some flan on the house! . Also we both agreed it was easily the best flan we've had. 10/10 recommend!!! read more

This review is coming from a party of two, accustomed to dining at this establishments Shoreline, WA location. Since the Shoreline location has moved to Totem Lake, we decided to give this location on Nickerson Street a try. This location has street parking only, and seems to thrive more on "to go" orders, as it only has 4 or 5 actual tables to sit and eat there. Fairly cramped space with kitchen. Be sure to make a reservation if you want guaranteed table availability. The staff were inviting, friendly and service was as it should be. We ordered 2 of their Brazilian Churrasco Especial (what we always ordered from the Shoreline location - medium rare). Plus a side of Garlic Sautéed Mushrooms. Everything was served hot, and no complaints with quantity served. However the steaks were slightly overcooked, and EVERYTHING (except the drinking water) was overly salty. The sautéed mushrooms had way too much chopped garlic as well. We never received the potato salad the menu indicates should come with the meal. When it comes to paying the bill, everything is done electronically. We did not receive anything in advance showing our charges. Unknowingly to us, but perhaps we overlooked it on the menu somewhere, this restaurant automatically added a 10% Service Charge to our bill. In looking at email receipt at home, the Service Charge plus added tip we are accustomed to paying, ended up being far more than we intended. Perhaps restaurant added Service Charges are becoming the way of the future. That's totally okay, as long as it is made extremely clear upon entering or before ordering in the establishment. We dearly miss the Shoreline location. We will try their Totem Lake location called Obutekim. Hopefully service and cook staff directly transferred to Totem Lake too. read more

This is my new favorite "steakhouse". Could you get a better steak somewhere else? Maybe. But will it be a picanha cut, seasoned and cooked to perfection? With crispy fries? And the flavorful black beans? At their price in Seattle? Hell na. (But if know of a place better, help your Korean brother out and drop a dm) Great service, fun Brazilian music, and friendly employees. No complaints here. read more

Crazy good place! Why 4 stars instead of 5? Oh wow. First off, the steaks are really good. Really good. They're not great - you might not drive from Renton to eat here, but they're really really good. Maybe you should drive from Renton to eat here. But there's some stuff that doesn't add up. One is that this is a very small - 4 or 5 tables, I forget - place, and they don't take reservations, so when we showed up at 6:15 the place was empty and when we left at 7:00 someone was eyeing our table. There's also a lot of plastic here. $17 Caipirinha? I expected it before the food service, not after the entrees arrived, and it was in a plastic cup with a straw. Charming? IDK. Potato salad in a plastic cup. Really? Let's talk about the plating. A five-star steak house will plate the food so that you're not risking knocking stuff off the plate when you cut into the steak. The dishes are too small. Here's a real secret, tho: the value is incredible. Beef With Caramelized Onions, $24.50. IDK if this was an 8-oz or 10-oz steak, but we had to box the leftovers, and it was served with fair fries and really flavorful jasmine rice and rich black beans with sausage and the small plastic container of potato salad, but that's A LOT of food for $24.50. It's a really good steak, too. read more

After all the great meals we had during this visit to Seattle, we had high hopes for some good Brazilian food. Unfortunately everything we ordered was very salty and not as tasty as we know Brazilian food to be. Service was only average. There is a 15% service charge and then on top of that a 3% additional charge for credit cards. Pretty steep, even for Seattle. Sadly would not return here. read more

My first time at a Brazilian (non-steakhouse) restaurant. And I really loved it! Cool little spot, very clean and bright and of course, smelled delicious! First of all, huge shout out to our waiter Luccas. We had some special requests/needs and he just made sure we were comfortable! He just made it work seamlessly! I ordered the filet mignon stroganoff and it looked amazing, and it was also extremely good! It is served on rice, which is fine, but just be aware if you've never had this version before, because it does not come on noodles. Parking is limited here, I think just street parking. Prices were a bit higher than I usually go for, but so was the quality, and serving size was large. I'll definitely be coming back! Thanks Luccas for a great experience! read more

I had been craving Brazilian Food for a while but did not want to drop $$$ on one of the fancy steakhouses throughout Seattle, so me and my family decided to give Botteco a try since it's near us, and it will definitely be on our "favorite places to go" list! Everything was perfectly seasoned and very well served for the price. The staff were super friendly and accommodating and even turned a cartoon on for our son since, surprisingly, we were the only ones there. The restaurant is small with only a few tables, but service was pretty fast and they do take out as well. We ordered the fillet mignon with Madeira sauce, the mixed Churrasco (meat) combo and a side of Fried Yucca. We'll definitely be going back! read more

I've been a big fan of Botteco Brazil in Shoreline for a few months so I was super excited tht they opened a location in Seattle, closer to me! The highlight of the menu is delicious grilled meats but I also think their french fries are the best. Unlike many churrascarias or Brazilian steakhouses, this is not an all-you-can-eat situation. I actually prefer ordering a plate: you can share if you're not too hungry, or bring home leftovers. This is a new location, and when we went in before a Mariners Game, we were the only customers. I hope business picks up because this is a real gem! read more

Heard great things about this place but never pulled the trigger because I thought plain rice and fries with steak that might come over cooked (because delivery, not their fault but still those were my assumptions) no sauce etc would be "dry". I was extremely WRONG. And wish I had tried this place sooner. I now plan to go in person sometime soon. First of all, the quality (and quantity) of their meats for the price is AMAZING. I was shocked. We ordered all of our steaks medium rare and thats exactly what they gave us. That's hard to do over delivery!! I wish I had taken photos bcause everything we ordered was so so good and mostly still hot too! We ordered the Brazilian Churrasco Especial (picanha entree) which alone came with so much meat and other sides for just under $30. Also got the Picanha Especial Appetizer. I thought this was going to smaller than the churrasco entree. Wrong again. It was huge. Bigger if anything. Came with entire takeout container of meat. An entire container of fries and a few fried plantains. The plantains had a coating on them that I wasnt crazy about but they were still bomb. I personally didnt like them together with any of the other food. Wish I did but again, they were super good on their own. Next time I'll try their yucca. We also got the Sautéed Garlic Mushrooms and Cheese Bread (Pão de queijo). I know Ive already said how good everything was but my god the mushrooms were chefs kiss and went so well with the meat etc. I kept dipping slices of steak in the juice. They're buttery herby savory goodness. Very rich. The Pão was good but just that, Pão. I do recommend to anyone who hasnt tried them though they're cheesy deliciousness AND Gluten Free. Great portions and the quality is there for sure. One of the best IMO now that I know lol. Only "complaint" is I wish they had half size of their sides (in my case the mushrooms and the pão). AND I wish they had sides of mashed potatoes like the other locations (but I'll live lol) Will def order again! read more

It's not one of those steakhouse/ sword skewer places, although I appreciate them for what they are. This is the good Brasilian comfort food i've been missing since Tiempo Do Brasil sadly closed. RIP. I came w friends for my day before birthday dinner and we all had something different. Fried Yucca fries were our appetizer. I had the Feijoada b/c i'm a creature of habit. For the unfamiliar, it is a TASTY black bean, one pot stew/ meal full of pork & beef that comes with rice & greens on the side. This variation also came w a crispy fried portion of what i'm guessing was pork belly and was super good. My Brasilian friend had some form of beef (they have a few options & the drinks are strong so i'm blanking), while her hubby had the Moqueca seafood stew. Everyone was happy. We enjoyed a few Caipirinha drinks, I think some were passion fruit and some regular. They were the best i've had: strong, nicely tart and sweet, nectary, as well as more generously sized than I've seen at a lot of places. Truly good. I also LOVE the Guarana soda you can only find in these restaurants. Dessert was Cupuacu flan for me while my companions both had the Passion Fruit Cream, they were each super good. They have things on their menu (like hot tea) that seem to be at their other locations, but not here which was confusing and sorely missed. It was freezing and I really wanted a warm up. Another reviewer wrote this location lacks the chain's garlic rice. I will say the staff was very attentive and really good to us. But it is a small space, and there were only 2 ppl cooking, making drinks & serving. I'm not sure how this works w a full restaurant. I suggest patrons get used to "Brasilian Time" and exercise patience. Seattle froze the next day and actual birthday dinner plans were postponed for a week. But I had excellent leftovers to tide me over and was happy to stay in and be snug w trashy movies and watch the cats play. This restaurant is a welcome rotation to my faves, and i'm looking forward to exploring more of the menu...and having a few more of those incredible drinks. read more

We get takeout from here a lot so I don't know what the in-person experience is like. But the workers have always been really nice when we call or go there for pick up. Super friendly and helpful. The food travels well too. The friend yuca is the best in Seattle and it's worth it for that alone. WAY better than at the super expensive Brazilian steakhouses. Their rice is also SO good! Again, much better than the fancy places. The beans too. A plate of their rice & beans with yuca fries is the perfect meal for me. But family likes the meats so we get those too. It's often been really tasty, good quality meat. Occasionally we'll get one that is tougher. I also like that they have farofa but they don't provide nearly enough of it! And the potato salad is also very good. Once for a party we ordered a big quantity of the frango a passarinho (Brazilian fried chicken) that was a big hit! Really tasty stuff. Can't wait to go in person sometime. Really solid choice for a healthy, hearty takeout dinner that won't break the bank. read more

We initially thought it was a fine dining restaurant and were a little disappointed to see a limited menu. However, it's actually a fantastic spot for drinks and light bites. We decided to stay since we had never been there before, and Luke was so gracious we almost felt bad leaving! We ordered the meat and cheese platter along with a couple of drinks, and everything was Grade A. I'm giving it an A+ though, because of Luke's outstanding service.

Maybe it's the alcohol to mixer ratio? Great atmosphere and nice wait staff. Didn't mind shooting them a nice tip. The food menu is small but interesting, not very tasty. Probably stick with the hummus or the bread. Definitely eat before you come. We stopped here three hours after dinner and only ordered a few of the small plates after we'd already been here an hour. The whiskeys are terrific. As expected. Several flights available like "In For A World of Peat", featuring three peated whiskeys from the British Isles and one from America. 05/25

We decided to go on a Sunday to have a beer and watch the Seahawks game. (They've got several TVs playing the game, with sound on.) Upon walking in I loved the vibe. Lots of great seating options whether you have a few people, or a group. They have a great selection of good beers. (No crap on tap here!) Some of my faves represented; Ravenna, Cloudburst, Great Notion! If the tap list doesn't have something that strikes your fancy, there are lots of cans available in the coolers! (They do charge an additional $2 for anything selected from the coolers). They also offer slushies (alcoholic, and NON alcoholic). After a few pints we decided to close out. I took a look at the can selection. Happy to see that they had just gotten a new drop of Structures beers!! Couldn't pass that up!! Grabbed (3) 4pks of Fuzz & Frost! We really enjoyed our time here watching the game! It is definitely a great little neighborhood spot! I will definitely be back!!

My go-to HH cocktail here is the Vieux Carré, but I like herbal sweet & bitter, so it's right up my alley. Currently there are five HH cocktail options and they are $7... hard to find in Seattle! I've also had the rainier & rye for $9- the rye is great, forgot to ask what kind it is. I've had a few other HH drinks, which were alright, but these stand out the most. As for food, I've only tried the spicy Seattle dog, and I would get it again. The hot dog is cut up & shaped weird (see photo), but it tastes wonderful. I heard the fried chicken is great so I'll try that next time. Also, I was excited to see that they had buckeyes on the menu, but they didn't have any when we visited. Inside is spacious and woodsy, & outside there is an enjoyable patio. Servers are nice and seem happy to be there, which always elevates my experience anywhere. I definitely recommend coming to Triangle Spirits for Happy Hour (available daily 3-5pm, dine-in only).

I thought the Seattle area didn't really have amazing Southern BBQ until I tried the food here at…read moreOutsider! You know it's good when you pull up the establishment and they have not only a long line, but also a paper dictating what is sold out, which they update on a 10-15 minute interval. Waiting in line is the most time consuming part of this experience, as we probably waited 20-30 minutes to get to the front to place our order - which is good sign! You can definitely formulate what meats and sides you want as you get closer to the front. Parking for the restaurant is a bit difficult, I think the only options we found while visiting was streetside, and we were fortunate to find a spot only a block away. I could totally see it being impossible to find parking when it gets really busy in the area. Once you get your food, there is plenty of seating, from high tops, to booths, to tables, to outdoor seating with a fire pit. We got a good variety of items, which I'll review a couple down below: Brisket: A good brisket with a nice visible smoke ring. Similar to the pork belly, you can tell the skill of a barbecue restaurant from how their brisket is, and this brisket is delicious! Really meaty and pleasant smoke flavor. I think we did get a leaner cut of brisket as there wasn't as much fat to help with the leanness. Beef Cheek: A delicious cut of meat that melts in the mouth, and has a pleasant smokey flavor. Out of the three cuts of meat, this one was unfortunately salted the heaviest. The first couple of bites are delicious and really delicious, but it goes really overwhelming the more you eat it. If you order this, definitely get some sides to help. Pomegrante Pork Belly: A solid BBQ pork belly that has a pleasing fatty crust with a meaty interior. This is what I would consider a good baseline for a reputable barbecue restaurant. It is advertised as pomegrante pork belly, but I unfortunately wasn't able to taste any flavor of pomengrate - maybe a tiny bit in the glaze/bark but that could just be attributed to the sugar. Mac and Cheese: A pretty comforting side! bechamel sauce is really creamy and fully coats each noodle. The noodles were at the sweet spot of soft and having enough integrity to hold their shape. Cherry and Rhubarb Cobbler: Wow, this is an amazing dessert! I haven't had a cobbler where they added cardamom to the crust before, and I think it works spectacularly. The cardamom gives a nice floral taste to the crust, which is complemented by the tart and fruity filling. I think this is one of the better if not best desserts I've had a barbecue shop, and the small tweaks made were creative and delicious! In the end, I think we paid about $100 for everything you see here. Having been to a couple of BBQ places, I would say that it is pretty standard pricing. Good BBQ does take a lot of effort and it does come at a premium. Outsider BBQ is absolutely delicious - if you are looking to get some comforting food, they definitely have you covered. I would totally revisit to try their items that got sold out (missed the beef cheeks, need to try those!) the time we visited!

You order at the front, you bring it to your table, and you bus yourself. The first time we went, we actually left but most of the items were sold out, so we came back a week later and earlier in the day. The also close quite early, around 8 or 9pm depending on the day. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, and it's communal. We got the Pitmasters that serves around 4-5 people, there was 3 of us and we ate the rest the following day. I loved the ribs and the pulled pork sandwiched between a piece of bread and a pickle was delicious.

This is a nice place, but it's worth noting that seating is quite limited. We happened to be able to squeeze in at the bar on a busy Friday afternoon. Tried all three of their pilsners, two sours, and an IPA. Two of the three pilsners were pretty good (Czech and Hetty Alice)--their American style pils (Adams) was a miss. The IPA (?) and their sours (Sparkle Dragon and Beach Party) were just ok. Overall, good, but nothing really jumped out to me as being exceptional or especially creative.
