After picking your sides, you choose from sliced fresh meats, which are added to your plate. Once everything is selected, your plate is weighed and you pay based on the weight. If you're dining in, you can then sit down with your plate and order drinks. If you're doing takeout, you simply take your box to go. The food was tasty overall, and the meats were definitely the highlight. I wasn't as impressed with the hot bar items--they were just okay--but we did go later in the day, which may have affected freshness. Overall, it was a nice meal and a good introduction to Brazilian food. We also noticed they have a bar area with TVs that looked really nice, though I'm not sure if food from the buffet is allowed in that section.

Primeiramente, eu já fui abordado com o atendente me advertindo sobre o aumento dos preços. (de $25 para $27) será que faz diferença? Gosto de deixar claro que Eu não pergunto preços quando eu saio para jantar. Eu simplesmente peço, pago e agradeço pelo servico. Vamos lá. No momento de preparar o marmitex, a atendente ficou com receio de colocar comida na marmita (Será que uma colher a mais de arroz e feijão tropeiro iria afetar o financeiro da empresa?) A atendente Nem sequer se importou em me perguntou se eu gostaria de um pouco mais ou se aquele tanto estava no meu agrado (lembrando, eu não questiono preços). Na hora de colocar o churrasco na marmita, tive a sensação de que o churrasqueiro não teve treinamento ou preparo adequado (cortes mau feito e o gosto da carne não era o dos melhores). Nesse novo pedido, Eu quis pessoalmente solicitar o preparo porque nas últimas vezes colocaram carne queimada na marmita. No geral, manifesto a minha total insatisfação e eu jamais recomendaria esse restaurante para meus amigos, tampouco para terceiros.

The only negative thing about this fantastic buffet was their subjective pricing. As other…read morereviewers mentioned they sometimes change you more per pound (if you're paying per pound) if you have "more meat than buffet items." I tried to balance out my plate to be half and half and scored the 14.49 rate but if the staff thought I had too much meat I would have paid 19.99 per pound instead. lol. Otherwise I was a fan, the meat was tender juicy and flavorful (especially the steak) and the buffet items were really good as well (polenta and fried plantains were standouts) The wait staff were just okay, my waitress was just standing near the front and I tried to get her eye contact but that didn't work so when the manager came by to check on me (she didn't) I asked him if he could send her to pay. Overall a decent experience but because of their pricing model I won't likely come again.

It was our first time and we just got in line, luckily, someone let us know we had to go up and leave our name with the guy holding the tablet ; there were no directions/signs or staff to direct. Despite the crowd, we were seated in about 20ish minutes. We did the per pound option instead of AYCE and that's what most folks were doing. Service, once we were seated, was attentive, food was good. They could have done a better job at keeping the buffet options stalked, they were out of 3 options. This is definitely a more casual place, no frills and closer to an everyday Brazilian churrascaria. Overall, it was fine, if I were in the neighborhood and looking for a bite, I would stop in again.

It's hard to leave Santana's without a treat of some kind to have later....The bakery products are gorgeous! Also, the staff are very sweet, attentive, patient and hard-working. There are long lines sometimes and as another reviewer suggested, they should have a pick-up line for people who have ordered ahead. That said, the women really move fast and the lines do, too!

There are options for AYCE as well as by weight, and if you do by weight you have to weigh everything you get at the side buffet and only get meat from the counter, so we opted for AYCE because that seemed cumbersome. The service here was friendly and attentive and as long as your token is green, the meat literally comes nonstop! I really liked their sides and salads, especially the plantains and fresh fruits. The meats were perfectly done and though they didn't really ask, all my pieces were medium/medium rare which is how I like it. The cut that was infused with garlic was really good, as were the sirloin and the chicken hearts and spicy pork sausages. Some pieces were very salty, but I'm pretty sensitive to salt. The grilled pineapple was luscious. If we didn't already have cake waiting for us at home, I would have definitely indulged in some tres leches or lime cake. They ended the meal with cooked cheese dipped in honey or guava sauce which was interesting. The fresh fruit at the salad bar was really refreshing. I probably wouldn't come back because it's just way too much meat/food for me and not my usual favorite (also rather pricey for dinner/weekends). However, my family had a great meal here and I think it's definitely a step up from fogo de chao in terms of quality and service. If you're into Brazilian steakhouses (or steak in general) I would highly recommend this place.

I should have just ordered la carte rice, beans & yuca knowing I wouldn't be dissatisfied. I couldn't decided between the chicken and okra or the baked cod with potatoes. Went with the cod; only for when it arrived they gave a menu and it had said Friday's was their salted cod. Let me tell you this was probably the saltiest meal I've ever had in my life. Fish did not taste fresh and ended up picking out and throwing out. They do give a variety of rice and I chose the pasta that had some kalamata olives and would have been ok if not so fishy/salty. I've also had better yuca before... The meal portion (if all tasted well) was a lot of food, which I'd hope for the price. But due to the taste I would absolutely never order the fish again. Also to save extra pennies I would order in person vs delivery app. In the picture below Yuca/salad mix of the day (tasted like potato salad)/baked cod with potatoes (but the Friday special was salted cod and that's what they definitely gave me)/brown - pasta aioli

The beef stew has a tasty, flavorful "stew," but the beef is just plain dry and tough. The chicken is the only saving grace - small little breasts and thighs, slightly crispy skin with light seasoning. The black beans are good, the vegetables, cauliflower, carrots sliced and steamed a bit too long. Rice was cooked well. A piece of deep fried fish was too fishy. Third trip and same results. For $10 (they weigh your plate to determine price), lots of food but questionable quality.

I placed the order but it wouldn't update with an ETA. About 10 mins later I got a text my order couldn't be filled and I"d be refunded. I ended up calling in to order - the phone number does bring you to an outdated "covid" type call talking about social distancing. I then had to click 1 for english. When they answered they seemed confused with what I was trying to order and went silent. I hung up and called back a few minutes later and they said they started making the order. I got a small cheese pizza, good size for a small. Pretty decent for price too. I think had the good amount of sauce, I prefer light cheese. Though I usually like thicker crust - I thought it was good crust even though on the ride home it smelled like cardboard pizza. I wouldn't say the dining room was really a place to sit would prefer to have it delivered. No parking lot so it can be complicated finding street parking. He did explain why the order didn't go through on the app said the machine was off and apologized for it a couple of times. He was friendly - not sure if he was the owner.

Initially, there was a bit of a language barrier. I spoke to one girl who called another. That…read moregirl then called Christina. I assume she (Christina) was either the owner or a relative of the owner because she was telling the girls what to do. I explained to her that I wanted to sample some of the most popular treats in their pastry case. Within seconds she handed me a basket of 4 pastry. One with queijo/cheese, another with guava jam, which resembled a thumb print cookie, another braided cookie and one with a glaze on top. The latter two were a little dry and crumbled too easily for my liking but you could easily eat the guava cookie with tea and the queijo with soup or cut it up into quarters and saute the pieces with a little fresh garlic, olive oil, and parsley and put them in your Cesar salad instead of croutons. Mmm Their pastry case is separated into two categories, salt and sweet. I brought home 4 quiejo ($1) and 3 shredded chicken pastry ($1) and a "donut" filled with caramel that tasted closer to dulce de leche. That was very good. I don't know how authentic this place is since they serve American food, but what was most intruging was their extensive Brazilian sandwich menu. Just look at some of the choices - and they come with french fries. X-Broadway - Steak, Hamburger, Chicken breast, Bacon, Buns, Corn, Peas, Ham, Cheese, Tomato, Lettuce, Egg, Potato Sticks, and mayo. With French Fries on side $7.75 X Chicken - Buns, corn, peas, ham, cheese, tomato, lettuce, chicken breast, potato sticks and mayo $5.50 X- Turkey - Buns, corn, peas, cheese, tomato, lettuce, Sliced turkey, potato sticks and mayo $5.00 Christina said they've been open for 18 months and in that time she has never eaten one of these sandwiches because she confessed, "They're too big." After sampling a bowl of the chicken and yucca soup and the plate of the day, my friends, I must refer you to Oliveira's down the street. The soup was microwaved and contained a ball of unheated protein and starch in the middle, was tepid, and waaay too salty. While the majority of tables seated Brazilians feasting on the plate of the day (large enought for 2 to share), it was not so memorable. Go to Oliveira's down the road and get your churrascaria and buffet on.
