    Market Table
    Anne Q.

    I never thought a Brazilian Steakhouse would be a great place for vegetarians and pescatarians but I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered their Market Table & Feijoada Bar menu option. It's an all-you-can-eat salad bar featuring a variety of seasonal salads, fresh fruits like pink and yellow pineapple, papaya, kiwi, and nutritious vegetables such as asparagus, sweet potatoes, palm hearts, jicama, beets, legumes like kidney beans, lima beans, chickpeas, and cheese like Swiss, burrata, and gouda. The menu also features a delicious lentil soup. Surprisingly, side dishes such as mashed potatoes, yuca fries, grilled white cheese, and sweet plantains are included and served to the table by the server. And the complimentary basket of Pao de queijo, Brazilian cheese bread, can be so addictive! The entire staff at this steakhouse was so attentive, especially the super friendly ladies! I had a delightful experience and will definitely be returning. Who knew a steakhouse could be such a wonderful experience for a pescatarian like me! =) Note: Lunch Market Table & Feijoada Bar is $18/pp, while dinner is $37/pp.

    I have a strong appreciation for Brazilian steakhouses and Fogo de Chao has been one of my favorites for several years. The Katy location is relatively new and I finally made my first visit. The restaurant has a very large parking lot but many spaces were taken and reserved for valet parking. It really isn't necessary but a nice touch. This location was remodeled from a country decor bbq restaurant and the transformation is remarkable. The service was great, very attentive staff floating in and out. The occasion was a special champagne meal with multi course offerings. The two steak options were well seasoned and pleasing to taste however the lump crab was a solid five stars. There was a choice of three champagnes which you select any two as part of the meal. I'm very happy to have the new location within a twenty minute drive and look forward to more specialty dining options.

    The service was awesome. I constantly had food on my plate, drink was always full. The ambiance was great for the night since it was my 7yr anniversary. The food on the other hand was subpar. The fillet minion was tasteless. The bacon wrapped chicken was dry. I had to use blue cheese to add flavor to the meats to be able to eat it. I sadly will not give this place a 2nd chance.

    I absolutely love this place and will come back for the happy hour time or lunchtime. The ambience is beautiful.. it's very relaxing, very casual, dressy, business whatever you like. Service was a 10 out of 10. My favorite thing was probably the cabbage. Omg it was so good. Everything was good to be honest. Nice for vegetarians and also nice for people who eat meat. I deff want to come back ...

    We went opening night. Service was stellar A+. I genuinely felt like every employee was excited we came and couldn't wait to help serve us a delightful evening! We've been to the Westheimer location a few times years ago, so excited to have one closer. Love that they have a rewards system now! If you've never been to a Brazilian steakhouse, you're in for a treat. You literally get to sit at your table and they bring dinner to you. You have choices of chicken, pork, shrimp, and tons of beef cuts. When they come to your table, they have them cooked Well, medium well, medium... if you really like something and haven't seen it in a few minutes, you can ask the server and they will get someone to come around with it. Complementary on the table they bring mashed potatoes and fried polenta and plantains. Then you get a chimichurri steak topping as well. if you're not sure what drink to pair with it, I would suggest the Caipirinha - it's a Brazilian Cachaça drink that is delightful and fresh. Definitely should order the table side experience. It was awesome. If you're not a complete carnivore, they do have a cold bar that has different salads, olives, fruits, and other cold hors d'oeuvres. They also have a little soup area that rotates the different kinds of soup that are in there. However, if you are carnivore, don't fill up at this station. Because once you flip your car to green, the meats start coming and they don't stop. This is an easy to get to location, they do take reservations, they're great for date night special occasions, or even small parties.

    We decided to try out this new location for date night. The location is nice and they have free parking and complimentary valet parking. The dress code was more relaxed than I expected, so need to wear your Sunday's Best. We had the Surf & Turf dinner special. The lobster was good but small. When you order the special the selection of meats is limited. Our server was nice but it took a while for them to come by with the meat selection. Eventually the service picked up and they came around more frequently. Overall it was a good experience aside from the waiting on the meat.

    Valentina was so friendly and welcoming. She helped make our celebration special. Also our server Antonio was awesome.

    Antonio was very accommodating, friendly and happy to assist. Valentina is an awesome Manager and so very nice. She represents your company well. We thoroughly enjoyed the customer service and food at the Katy Texas location.

    My husband and I came here for our anniversary. We love Brazilian steakhouses and had high expectations because of the great experience we've had a Gauchos down the street. We made a reservation and was seated upon arriving. The atmosphere is light, great decor, plushy velvet couches for one side of the booths, I loved the light fixtures, the overall vibe seemed like trendy fine dining. The Brazilian cheesey puff things were tough and cold. The market table, which is their salad bar, was narrow, crowded and COLD. Everything on that bar, whether it was meant to be cold or not was cold. The only saving grace for that market table was the tomato soup, which unfortunately was the best thing we ate there. The meats finally came around (3 total within the first 30 minutes of being there) were dry, extremely overcooked and basically inedible. My husband called it beef jerky. I have attached pictures. The hot sides served were mashed potatoes, which were stone cold, and the little fried jicama and plantains. I finally asked for a manager and was told there was a customer service rep assigned to our area of the restaurant and so I told her our complaints. They then brought out more beef that was almost undercooked but I was happy to at least have something closer to medium rare. We never saw pork or chicken come out at all although I hear they do have it. They gave us a fre me dessert for our anniversary which was a chocolate molten cake which I will say was delicious and one of the only hot things we ate all night. They did apologize and offer us a slight discount for our meal but we still paid $100 for a terrible meal on our anniversary. I won't be back. TLDR; GO TO GAUCHOS!

    Date night with my hubby at Fogo is our favorite outing. Here's a little secret: you don't have to go for the buffet. They have a hidden à la carte menu available at the bar. Our favorite dish is the beef bone. We usually order two bones, lamb chops, and a few other special items from the menu. Our bill with drinks is usually around $86. Try the Mango Habenero cocktail! Superb! We cherish our time together and truly enjoy each other's company. A shout-out to the bartender--love the service!

It feels fancy enough for a celebration but comfortable enough that everyone can just relax and have fun. The coolest part was that the gauchos remembered how everyone liked their meat cooked. They would come back to our table with meat cooked exactly the way each person liked it. I thought that was really cool because it showed they were paying attention. My mom's favorite things on the salad bar were the asparagus and the eggplant. I know that sounds funny, but they were really good! My favorite was all the delicious steak with rice. Every time a gaucho came by with another cut of steak, I was ready! The grown-ups also loved the drinks. My mom said her espresso martini was delicious, and everyone said the Kahlúa martinis were really good. Everyone was so nice, and they made my whole family feel welcome.

We still had to wait 30 minutes. It was a Saturday night and Valentine's Day so it was busy and I get it. However, once we were sat, after nearly 2 hours, I only had about 6 pieces of meat. We didn't get offered half of the meat. Most of the meat we did get offered weren't even beef, mainly chicken, sausage, etc. Our cards were flipped to the green side the WHOLE time we were there, but servers were either skipping or just not even coming. Despite making eye contact. then, when we were offered certain meats, they would cut a slice for my s/o, but when it was my turn, the server would say "oh i have to get your cut from the back, I'll be right back" then never come back. This happened twice. By the 3rd time, i was clearly upset and that may have been the only reason the server actually came back that time. Our server also kept asking if we were just waiting on meat, in which we'd say yes just to still continue waiting. After THREE hours and still about 6 meats total, we requested the dessert menu - another 15 minutes just to get the menu to us. At this point, we ordered it and i asked to speak to the manager. I have never requested to speak to a manager at a restaurant before, that is how horrible this experience was. Again, had to wait for the manager to make his way to us. Once i explained to him my experience, his response in general was a very like "welp that sucks" attitude & didn't even seem really concerned. He offered to charge us as a "lite dinner" + drinks + dessert. Which I still dont even think is a fair resolution, because my dinner was their mashed potatoes, cheese bread, and 6 slices of meat. Even getting the check took time. God bless the host/hostess as they seem to be fighting for their life trying to get everyone seated. In the future, if there isn't availability, then they shouldnt be offering reservations they cannot honor. Will not be back and i definitely do not recommend the place.

We've…read moretried many of them around Houston -- and honestly, Avenida stands out as the best when it comes to meat quality and variety of cuts, especially compared to other well-known Brazilian steakhouses in the same price range like Fogo de Chão and Gauchos Do Sul. Besides the typical cuts like picanha, top sirloin, bottom sirloin, and lamb chops, Avenida also offers Wagyu steak, ribeye, NY strip, salmon, shrimp, and even lobster soup. I prefer my steaks medium rare, and the meat was incredibly tender. My favorites were the top sirloin, lamb chops, and filet mignon. The service was phenomenal. They don't play the usual games that many Brazilian steakhouses do by bringing out the cheaper cuts first to fill you up. Instead, they consistently walk around serving a wide variety of meats throughout the meal, which really elevated the experience. Honestly, the only thing holding this restaurant back is the interior design and exterior appearance. I can barely notice the restaurant while driving by because the outside signage and overall presentation don't stand out. Meanwhile, Fogo de Chão (in Katy for example) catches attention immediately because the building and interior feel upscale and polished. Avenida seriously has better meat quality in my opinion, but the restaurant could benefit greatly from renovating the interior, improving the lighting, and creating a more modern and inviting romantic vibe. The food and service deserve a much busier crowd.

    This establishment is unfortunately on the lower end of the scale…read more The concept is the same as any other Brazilian steakhouse. You have staff walking around, offering you different cuts of meat and even grilled cheese. There's a tiny selection of cold dishes and accompaniments- the pork belly was too hard to chew, the empanadas were cold and hard, they also had beans and rice and sushi... Can't recommend, I truly was hoping this would be an alternative as most other places are kind of far from the area.

There was a live guitarist/singer playing which was a fantastic vibe. A complimentary basket of four pieces of cheese bread was brought out, excellent way to start the meal! For two people, we ordered: 2x Coxinha (3.5/5): While the chicken is a tad dry, it's complimented well by the creamy sauce 1x Kibe (3/5): Reminded me of a meatball crossed with a falafel, like something you'd order on a skewer. Not too grainy and a nice smoky flavor. 1x Risole de Camarao (4.5/5): I thought this was a better version of the Coxinha. The shrimp flavor really permeates and reminds you of a shrimp risotto in a single bite. Churrasco Gaucho (16oz) (2/5): We decided to get this to sample all of the meats. Unfortunately I thought everything was really salty. Maybe it's characteristic of the Brazilian grilling style, because the smoky flavors did come through, but it just felt too salty for me on everything. Honestly maybe it just needed some kind of vegetable besides beans to help offset. Whatever their chili sauce is (5/5): I have no idea what this is but it reminds me of mashed up bird eye chili sauce..it's really good. Sprinkle it on everything. Helps with the saltiness of things.
