    Visited Brasa's accidentally yesterday while walking to another restaurant. Initially we wanted to eat at Texas de Brazil, but the wait time was 4 hours. Luckily, while walking downtown we saw the restaurant. At first it seemed to be closed, but a server saw us looking in and opened the door to greet us. Oh boy were we surprised. The ambiance was great and most importantly it was no wait time. We were sat quickly and warmly greeted by our amazing server Makayla. She was sooo knowledge, welcoming and friendly - honestly treated us like family. We immediately went to the salad bar to give a taste test and was pleased! Once we settled away from that we begin to dive into the meats. We had a few favs such as the flank steak (yummy), garlic beef and the shrimp omg omg omg! Albert came over as well to make sure the visit was going well and we absolutely loved his spirit. He introduced us the the caprini drinks and it was very good and hit the spot - specifically the blueberry! While leaving, the owner thanked us for the visit and even gave my little one a balloon. We loved our experience and will visit again very soon.

    For lunch I was amazed at the table service. These guys were on point and checked in you every 2-3 minutes. Fantastic service. One of the best I've seen at a Brazilian Gaucho. The meats are plentiful and it comes out fast, hot, and tasty. Ribeye 10/10- awesome and tender. Picanha 9.5/10- really good and they give you a lot Pork ribs 9.3/10- very tasty. I was surprised at how good it was. Shrimp 8.5/10- good but a little salty Chicken breast 9.5/10- very moist chicken wrapped in bacon. I loved it Wings- 9/10- these were very tasty but no match for the steaks The place is beautiful. See the pics. Very comfortable. Dark like all other gauchos I've seen around the nation. May be the best I've tried, and I've been to many. Would love to try the dinner one day. For the price worth every penny for the tastes and first class service.

    I would stop by around 1 pm. Pineapple is so yummy!

    Brazilian steak, my favorite is the lamb chop and picaña! Very relaxed ambiance and excellent service.

    Great addition to downtown Houston! If you're a meat eater, THIS. IS. YOUR. PLACE!!! The Meats, meats, and the meats. It's like a gigantic roller coaster of meats and shrimp. You want rare, medium, or well done, they've got it. New Zealand Lamb, shrimp, bacon wrapped chicken, bacon wrapped filet, Parmesan pork loin, top sirloin, bottom sirloin, filet- HEAVENLY, ribeye (HEAVENLY PART 2), garlic beef, beef ribs, salmon, pork sausage, and chicken wings. Potatoes, rice, and the salad bar also come with the meal. All meat is PRIME and holy smokes, you can tell! Parking: don't be worried! There's valet ($8 or $10) Want to do a private party: there's two rooms upstairs! I HIGHLY recommend this place, date night, gurus night, guys night. It's really, really good!!!!! Pricing: lunch $36.50/pp dinner- about $50/pp Waiters: Ask for Julio and Carlos! They'll set you up!

    I would give 4 stars because I felt the meat options were limited BUT we can late & last minute so I'm sure that has more to do with our timing than the actual restaurant. Plus, there was a lady who I can assume was in charge in some sense who seemed to be going out of her way to accommodate us. No complaints here at all, would definitely recommend & will be visiting again. Love the atmosphere, great decor, clean & spacious. Everything that I ate was amazing & I thoroughly enjoyed my time.

    Just sat down. Looks pretty neat in here.

    The staff is wonderful. My husband and I celebrated a little here and I loved the food. The other reviews about this place are spot on so the amount of meats they bring by are a bit less than you'd expect but they're still great nonetheless. I recommend the picanha as it was my fave. Go here

    I am a meat lover and a strong believer of you cant go wrong with steakhouses. Hence the second star. However, other than that unfortunately I was not satisfied with the whole experience. First of all, it is in downtown so good luck finding a parking space and expect to pay for it. I happened to have a sprained ankle too so I had to walk for 10 min (5min for a healthy person). Next, even though we were there for lunch and their site said $39.99, we were hit with $49.99 for the full menu. I just checked it again and no where it mentions about $50/person, or that $39 version is limited . If you choose limited option you can buy it cheaper but I was not there to eat 4-5 type of meat where at least 2-3 of them were cheap stuff like chicken and pork. Having said that if you are paying all that you might as well go to Fogo de Chao or similar higher quality places (with parking!) Anyways, moving on, we still ended up getting full menu and let me tell you we were still not impressed. For example, you either love lamb chops or hate it. I am in the lover category but their lamb chop was not even mediocre. I dont know how you can mess that up. Service is good. However nothing about this place felt authentic Brazilian steakhouse, more felt like I was in a Mexican restaurant. I love Mexican food dont get me wrong but I was there for a Brazilian Churrascaria! Salad bar was decent. Again not what I came for.

All the food was fresh and tasty, with some surprise stand outs. Tuesday gulf oysters are $1 and wings are $1 during Rockets/Texans games. Luckily we got to take advantage of both specials! Good value otherwise also. Crawfish $8.99/lb *market, good size and flavor Crab chowder Oysters Edamame Fried mushrooms Bang bang shrimp Crab fingers - very meaty! Tater tots - super crispy! Salmon and garlic noodles Hot honey and buffalo wings Miso mussels A separate hand washing station would have been nice as there was only 1 male and 1 female restroom which led to some waiting around. The front door faces Memorial Hermann not I10. Parking is shared and can be limited.

Something simple that should be an easy win. Unfortunately, everything leaned the same direction: either it was heavy, over-sauced, or overly garlicky. It tasted more like dressed-up frozen food than something thoughtfully prepared. And listen...I don't mind indulgent. But there still has to be balance and fresh food. Fresh like it was raw and delivered today, not fresh like fried in the last 15 mins. When everything is coated, covered, and competing, nothing actually stands out. The drinks didn't help either. They leaned hard on alcohol without much flavor behind them--more "this will get you there" than "this tastes good." Nothing was terrible. But nothing made me want another bite, either. And with seafood, that's kind of the whole point. The atmosphere is friendly, great music, and the service was very attentive. Even the presentation wasn't bad. It just wasn't enough. But at some point, you stop asking what's missing and just accept that it's not landing. I was still hungry so I went next door hoping for a better experience. I want to be clear: It's not bad. It's just not working.

The vibe is great, the decor is awesome, the food delivers consistently, and service rarely takes a day off -- it's just a solid place to go when you're up for some great southern comfort classics. Cocktails, delicious. The daily food specials make it refreshing. The oysters never disappoint. We've rarely had to wait long on any ordered items and servers are all top notch.

We went on a Saturday for lunch. Hopefully this was just a one-off, but if you're looking for good Cajun boiled crawfish, this is not it. We started off with 6 lbs (group of 4) of their regular crawfish. First off, they put the Cajun seasoning on outside/shell (!!), which is a cardinal sin for Cajuns. They also minimally seasoned the boil, so the meat was lacking salt and flavor. We ordered 3 more lbs with the "wet sauce" (garlic butter), thinking the lack of flavor may be attributed to this being the first-ish batch of the day. Nope, the second batch was even less seasoned than the first. The sauce was good, but it didn't make up for the unseasoned meat. The crawfish were a good size, at least... Come on guys, I expect more from a Gulf Coast seafood restaurant!

The ginger was not overwhelming at all and really complemented the sweetness of the blueberry toppings. I also ordered a the pork belly deviled eggs which were pretty yummy as well. My fiancé ordered the gumbo which was very savory and filled with the perfect combo of shrimp, chicken and andouille sausage. The service was good as well.

There were also a lot of families, which was cute, although I personally am not buying my daughter $16 fries. Our waitress was personable and made great suggestions, especially regarding mocktails. This is important for non-drinkers because there are no mocktails on the drink menu, but the bartender will craft something you will like. Even my friend who normally avoids mocktails was very impressed. Apps: Crab Hushpuppies - 10/10: Crunchy, crabby, and came with a fantastic honey butter sauce. Caviar Tater Tots - 6/10: Well done -- they literally whipped the potato on the inside -- but at $37, you are paying more for the caviar, which was missing that fresh, creamy saltiness you normally seek. You also only get 4 tots. I would just get two orders of the crab hushpuppies. Mains: Chicken - 10/10: The truffle sauce was dreamy, and I think they could sell it on the streets. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and tender, and the dish also came with flaked truffles on top. I normally do not order chicken out, but this dish makes me wonder what I've been missing. Lobster fettuccini - 7/10: I don't think this is the dish to get here. The lobster didn't taste the freshest, and it also didn't have a lot of lobster to begin with. The sauce was well done and clearly made with lobster stock. I would come back, but there are dishes that shine much brighter than others.

Extremely kind service from the hosts through the entire team. The best balance of conversational and storytelling without being overbearing.

We ordered coffees along with the crab hush puppies, gumbo, avocado toast, and ended with their massive cinnamon roll. It was the perfect spread and everything was so flavorful! (My only critique was I wish the cinnamon roll was warmed up and served with a bit more icing). The interior was fabulous with an amazing aroma. I would highly recommend for anywhere from an intimate date to a group brunch! Beautiful bar as well, I cannot wait to come again another night for dinner. Upon exit, we were also departed with a complimentary cookie - super cute touch!
