It's that time again! When it's Hubs' birthday, we gather the boys and have a feast of meat. Just days before, my friend sent me the picture I posted from us 10 years ago when we started the tradition. The meats hit the same. I still get the mixed kebab because the all you can eat is way too much for me. Don't sleep on the collard greens. I would order an extra serving so you can mix them with eggs in the morning. Did we wait an hour for our table? Yes, but it was well worth it. There was a spot at the bar where we can chill and all catch up with the peeps we hadn't seen in a min. It was nice to have that time because there was silence when we sat and got our food. We were hungry. One thing I will say, they took away the bowls of olives. I mean I was probably the only one that looked forward to them, so I get it. But holla at me if you feel the same way. Until next year Carvalhos read more

I was really excited about trying this spot since it was recommended by a friend. The big plus is that they have a private parking lot. They do not take reservations on the weekends so be prepared to wait 35-40 minutes for a table since it tends to get packed in the evening. They do have a big bar to have a drink and wait in the meantime. The staff is very friendly and attentive which I loved, they made sure our table was clean and our drinks were filled. Now the food, their appetizers that they bring to the table were just ok; the sweet plantains, rice and beans were pretty good. The French fries were undercooked which no one at the table touched. The salad could have used a little more color but the dressing was really good. The meats themselves were good but could better. I really enjoyed their picanha; it was cooked a perfectly medium. It was juicy and flavorful. The chicken legs and turkey wrapped in bacon were so delicious and well seasoned. When it came to the skirt steak, short ribs and other cuts of meat, I felt like they were on the drier side and not as tasty. They never asked how we liked it cooked (medium or well done) so we just got whichever temperature they were served. I was also disappointed they didn't have chicken hearts since I always look forward to those when I go to a rodizio. Each person rodizio is $54 which is definitely on the higher end and the prices on their website are outdated. I would probably not return; there are more affordable rodizio with higher end cuts. read more

I honestly want to start this review saying , I would have had more photos but I was too busy stuffing my face lol .... In my life time I've been to quite a few rodízio style churrasqueiras , some being worst to best and some being top tier , the price isn't bad but for the price other places will have a hot bar and a salad bar , this location does not offer those options , the rodizio is very delicious my favorite was the entraña and the first cuts of the picanha , my second favorite was the chicken legs , and third their sausage , I'm not a big fan of chicken breast so the chicken breast wrapped in bacon wasn't a fan however the rest and all of the food for that matter on the rodizio skewers were cooked perfectly and if you prefer a cut more cooked or on the medium well side you can always let them know before they put the meat on your plate , I went in on Father's Day so the wait time was a WAIT TIME but no regrets I give this place a over all 3 because there was no salad bar or hot Bar and for the same price I can go to another rodizio and get that option as well , the waiters and staff are very polite even on such a busy day so I really cannot complain or have negative things to say about the service the restaurant is a nice little elegant space , the only other thing I was not a fan of was my daughter doesn't really eat a lot of meat , and they were out of nuggets so we ordered her Mac and cheese and for $11 2 boxes of Kraft Mac and cheese is not it , it's very tall tell the Mac and cheese is Kraft macaroni and cheese and good thing she ate it bc she usually doesn't but she was also very hungry , Mac and cheese at that price should not be BOX Mac and cheese but over all good experience for me as an adult eating rodizio style meat , the meats were very good , there's a lot of mixy reviews for this place and maybe I got here on a better day, but truly have no negative words for the food the food was very well done in my Opinion read more

Churrasqueira Carvalhos Rodizio - Portuguese Near Me - Bellmore, New York

I waited several days to write this, becasue I couldn't come to grips with what I saw. I have eaten in this restaurant many times over the years. Obviously I like it. But I will not be going back, why? Well as I sat at the bar eating my dinner, I observed one of the bartenders picking his nose and using the same hand to eat cherries out of the tray at his drink station. This is completely unacceptable. I will not be going back. read more

My wife and I have been coming here for years now...and Carvahlos NEVER EVER, EVER DISAPPOINTS!!! Came here last night for New Years Eve dinner. My wife had her go to meal...the full grilled whole Bronzino...and I had my usual go to...the Rodizio!!! My favorite cuts of beef are the Picanha, Short Ribs and the Skirt Steak. They're ALWAYS INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS!!! If you have a big appetite...the Rodizio will satisfy your cravings. And make sure you order the collard greens to go along with your Rodizio. Soooo DELICIOUS!! After dinner for dessert, my wife and I shared a cappuccino and an order of Heavenly Whites. The service here is always GREAT!! The young man who was my server was excellent. He kept coming by with skewers of BBQ meats. Even I was having a hard time keeping up with all the meats that were coming to the table. My birthday is coming up in February. Guess where I'll want to have my birthday dinner... Carvahlos is always a 15 out of 10 stars. If you haven't already tried them...please do so without delay!! read more

Place is great, food is excellent Go hungry very good portions, desserts are excellent too read more

I got the rodizio. The steak was very greasy and fatty to the point there was a puddle of grease on my plate. However it was well seasoned and tasty. The service was outstanding, waiters very friendly. They kept the meat coming. Not like another bigger chain that will remain unnamed who waits 15 minutes between servings in hopes that you'll get full. The sausage was probably my favorite of all the meats. Dessert was good. Overall not a bad experience. It's worth checking out if you're in the area read more

From the cozy ambiance to the phenomenal and so very tasty whole chicken that I could eat everyday the flavor was like no other everything was delicious and I will returning asap read more

For $42 plus change, I would always get takeaway with two grilled chickens and two sides. I was billed $52 plus change for the same takeout order as of today, August 3, 2025. The customer service representative handling my transaction informed me that the pricing had increased this week when I asked about it. The price of two grilled chickens on their website is still $42 with tax instead of $52 with tax. This made me think that the restaurant is taking advantage of the tariff rise for both domestic and imported goods by raising the prices of their food. read more

I feel vindicated in my choice. The dishes showcase exceptional taste. The quality remains consistent from cuisine to surroundings. The team's warm welcome stood out immediately. We plan to make this our standing choice. read more

Tried this spot for the first time. I'm not really into the whole Rodizio style but my husband is. The place is small and it's feels so crowded. Hubby went for the rodizio and I decided to try the shrimp kebab, the prize for ONE kebab is $40 four shrimps, onions and peppers. Disappointed, overpriced, crowded and the food not worth the price. Sorry but this was a check in the box. Maybe they have to get rid of some tables so ppl can sit at their tables comfortably. read more

The salad was meh compared to restaurants like this. The selection of meats wasn't great, with only one or two types of beef. The meats were seasoned well and tasty. Manage your expectations and it's a good restaurant. read more

visited this place for the first time expecting great results (with all the 4 stars) however was greatly disappointed. Food was so ordinary--I do not know why that impressed many folks. It is certainly not something I would return for. Oh, by the way our waiter completely forgot about us and pretended he didn't after we had to call on another waiter for our orders read more

Favorite churrasqueira in long island hands down. This place gets super busy everyday they are open. Just so you know what you're getting into. This joint is tightly packed with tables full of people. Don't expect personal space. But it's part of the experience. Expect there to be a wait, they don't take small reservations. But if you get there towards the end of the night or right at the beginning there's no real wait time. If you're itching for real good food and can't stand the wait. Head over to the bar. There's usually always sitting there. And they serve the full menu there too. But if you perfer a table, make sure to head to the hostess stand and put your name and number with her immediately to get on the waiting list. trust me the wait is worth it!! The full experience is hearty and generous. Everything is so full of flavor, hot and cut fresh onto your plate. The sides are plenty and complement the meats perfectly. Their fries are my favorite side. They are better than five guys fries. You have to try their chicken! Some of the best chicken on the island. But don't fill up, cause you have to save room for dessert. Their whipped egg whites and raspberry tart are to die for! I always take home their whipped egg whites. It's taste like perfectly whipped vanilla cream with layers of gram crumbles and a light caramel. Absolute perfection! read more

Churrasqueira Carvalhos Rodizio - a table full of food - Portuguese Near Me - Bellmore, New York

Review 300! This restaurant is excellent. The service is quick and attentive. The food is top notch. So much is included with whatever entree you order: salad, olives, bread, French fries, broccoli, carrots, and rice. Order a bunch of entrees to split around the table, or order the rodizio. Either way, get ready to indulge in wonderful food. Would 100% come back and can't wait to do so. read more

My husband is Portuguese & we decided to try this restaurant out! We came on Saturday around 5pm & we were seated right away. Staff had masks & they brought us water, bread, and salad after we were seated. We always get the Portuguese sausages as starters and i must say these were great! They tasted a bit different than what were used to, but it had a kick of spicy which made it fun. We ordered the churrasco & prime rib which was delicious and each steak was honestly enough for two people! The sides were delicious and fresh as well! We couldn't finish everything so we wrapped it up to go and of course I had to get my fave Portuguese dessert: HEAVENLY WHITES! Idk what it is but just get it. It's awesome!!! All waitstaff, managers, and busboys were friendly and attentive. Will be going back! read more

Came out for my birthday last week with my wife and some friends. Ive been here before and love some rodizio. My advice would be to come hungry. Also dont fill up too much on the sides. They will start you with salad and olives then strap in for meat galore. Sides will be rice, fried banana, french fries, veggies and a sauce that is super hot. Turkey wrapped in bacon is my absolute favorite. Everything has a wonderful flavor. The heavenly whites is an absolute for dessert. If you let them know its a birthday celebration they will come out with a saxophone to sing happy birthday. read more

Great place for family, food is good. Fast service, ambiance is alright nothing fancy.

Came on Saturday night for a table of 6. We had 2 1/2 pitchers of red sangria, I was delicious. 2 of the people in our group had garlic shrimp, really good.. enough sauce left over to mix rice into & your French fries. 3 of us had skirt steaks, also really do recommend. 1 person had 1/2 chicken & it was perfect size for one person The only reason I am not giving this 5 starts is because of the wait. There is no reservations, so you just wait in line. We arrived at 7pm & were seated close to 8pm. For a Saturday, thats not terrible. But if they took reservations, it would definitely be more organized read more

Place is always busy! Great meats for rodizio or even their skirt steak dinner is delicious. My favorite is their garlic shrimp, that sauce is to die for! read more

Love their chicken , best rice I ever tasted. I usually get take out. I ate in the restaurant once, it was awesome!

The chicken is to die for! Delicious Sometimes it gets very busy but when you love the food it doesn't matter read more

We hung around the waiting area for over 40 mins to be seated after calling in and being told it's no more then 15 min wait to check on crowd level. Today's return visit is a 3 star rating. I actually was ready to walk out the door when the waitstaff finally brought plates to our table nearly after 50 mins of being seated. My kids were just sitting there filling up on bread and salad at a rodizio. My oldest son opted to order tilapia instead because he was no longer hungry. The server Orlando took our order about the 30 minute mark after being seated and never came back to check on us. We also waited another 20 mins after we asked for the check though they cleared our tables immediately. For $250, you are better off spending it elsewhere to avoid the frustration. A real waste of time. read more

Never got to eat. Host was extremely disrespectful. We got quoted for around an 1hr wait. I:30hr into our wait they kept saying they are waiting for a round table to fit us but every time a round table left another group was seated before us, when we were told we were the next table. We felt that they were profiling us and doing it purposely. It became a joke with our group that they were trying to find groups to sit before us. When I approached the hostess, she gave us a half ass answer which was a total lie. We'll never go here again, and we'll make sure our vast network of friends passes the word along to never eat there. We'll give businees to other restaurants. This place is so poorly run, it's a joke. read more

Eat until you're stuffed! Food is sooo good here. The smell outside at the train station just sucks you over to this restaurant. Steaks, chicken, pork...-all prepared perfectly for an excellent experience. Staff is always around if you need something. Love this place but sometimes you need to wait due to crowds which is only downside. read more

Food was not great at all, except for the sides. Steaks were under cooked, lamb chops looked like they were cooked three hours before we got there. Service was ok, the waiter that took our order never came around to see if everything was ok, after food was served the table was handle by the busboys. ambience was fine. Need to do better, don't let a good reputation good to the dumpster. Their website needs work too, there's no place to make a reservation on the website, I e mailed our reservation, when I called to confirm, they told me they don't take reservations, first come first served. Once again it needs work, It used to be great ! read more

Adorning the entrance to Churrasqueira Carvalhos Rodizio are several statues of chickens. This made me wonder if I had walked into the Latino version of KFC. Fortunately, upon opening the doors, I was greeted with the all too familiar scent of BBQ'd meat :) Unfortunately, my experience went downhill from there. After waiting 40 minutes to get seated, which is understandable on a Sunday afternoon, we were immediately given bread and menus. It was a very crowded dining room. It took about 15 minutes for the waiter to come take our order. You are given the option of ordering an AYCE Rodizio or ordering entrees a la carte. We went with the Rodizio for everyone. You would think that the meats would now start making their way to the table, but you would be wrong. The meats were going to all the other tables, with no clear indication of which tables ordered Rodizio and which ones ordered entrees. After 20 minutes of just sitting there, we were about to get up and leave when the Meat waiters realized we ordered Rodizio. Out came the complementary sides: salad, broccoli, French fries, rice, potato chips, followed by the meats. WOW. The meat is good. It was well seasoned and had a spicy kick to it. The house hot sauce was the highlight of the meal. Notice that I only took pictures of the salads, broccoli and sides...no pictures of the meats. They came so infrequently that I had to put down my phone to make sure I could get some. There were only 2 waiters walking around carving meat for the entire room! Ambience / Décor: This is a relatively non descript table clothed dining room. It gets noisy when crowded. Food: The meat was very well seasoned and perfectly cooked. Service: Very disorganized Rodizio service. 2 guys carving meat for the whole room? TL/DR: Churrasqueira Carvalhos Rodizio deserves a 5 star for the food, but for disorganized service and unreasonable wait times, they deserve a 2. read more

Visit Date: November 11, 2017 We came here for dinner with our son, two of my friends and my friend's boyfriend. I'm a vegetarian so I don't think I could have appreciated this place as much as I could have if I ate meat and also if I was still eating unhealthy. I wouldn't recommend bringing a toddler here. Sometimes we luck out with our son other times we don't. It was really crowded and he doesn't sit in a high chair and inevitably he wants to start walking around the restaurant wherever we go. It was a little scary because waiters were walking around with sharp sticks of hot meat to bring to the tables of people who ordered the Rodizio unlimited meat meal. Luckily the staff didn't really give us a problem while our son was walking around the place. Everyone else at our table who ate meat seemed to enjoy the meal a lot. For me getting a decent healthy meal from them was like pulling teeth. I needed protein. They did offer to bring me out grilled vegetables but when I asked about having cheese served on it they told me they had no cheese in the kitchen. I asked them about giving me eggs and after telling me they had no eggs in the kitchen they relented and agreed to bring out three eggs for me with my veggies. For the Rodizio they bought out tons of side dishes, veggies with butter, chips, french fries, bread, collard greens. The alcohol was good, I had a pinot grigio, medela negro beer, and a portugese coffee at dessert. I really wanted another portugese coffee they were so good. So in my opinion if you're a healthy vegetarian this might not be the first place you want to come to. If you want to gorge on tons of meat and fatty food this place might be for you. read more

Must say quite disappointed in this place. Oh how the mighty have fallen. Screwed up our takeout order the last 2 times here but decided we would try for mother's day since we love the food so much. Called on Friday and they said call back Saturday we are way too busy now. Ok I call back Saturday and they say we are way too busy callback later. Call back later and they say call around 7pm which I do and they say we are not taking any orders now call back tomorrow. Started calling at 11am only to get 25 busy signals or a voice message telling me their hours of operation. Very very sad that my wife has been asking for this as her mother's day wish but they cannot fulfill her request. read more

Ok so I've been dying to try this place because I basically pass it on a weekly basis and smell the deliciousness from my car sitting in traffic on Sunrise Highway. The place has a nice feel to it. The menu has lots of different options. I ordered the skirt steak and my husband had the pork loin. My skirt steak came rare the way I ordered it with plenty of juice. My husband's pork was a bit salty for me. They give you all different sides family style to share. The meat portions were HUGE! I will definitely be back to try more things. :) read more
