Portuguese Food. My husband loves the all you can eat Rodizio... 9 different meat cubes on a skewer. I ordered the Branzino fish. In authentic style you get the whole fish. The restaurant is spacious and well lit. The staff very pleasant. We had a very nice meal. read more

Loved their porterhouse steak. I ordered it medium and charred and it was both. It was seasoned extremely well and I loved the cracker peppercorns the grilled it with. It added an unexpected spiciness to it and gave it a stand out taste. The salads the breaded the service everything else was delicious. This is a great spot for friends and families. It on of those places that if you been to their old location and This newer one you'd see the same faces there and here. read more

Everything about my experience here was not good. I don't understand what people like about this place. The Meats were terrible! The sides were terrible and nothing was good! Me and my boyfriend are still laughing about how bad it was! Save your money read more

We had a very nice experience at this place...Food was great...Staff was very friendly..Love the sangria and the dessert was wonderful.

Started good, albeit long wait. We had the grilled calamari, very good. Then the meats started to come around. It's all you can eat, Rodizio style. Very tasty, some misses with being fatty and one still raw. It was the service that was terrible. Tall guy with glasses, beard and name started with a C. We felt totally ignored most of the night. They suddenly stopped coming to our table with meat, guess end of cycle? My son wanted more and asked, 20 minutes later nothing. We asked for the dessert menu, came 10 minutes later, still no meat. The guys kept passing our table and skipping us. Not sure if it was because we didn't speak their language, I would like to think no. My wife and I wanted Cappuccino and a dessert, son wanted a dessert and my other son was still waiting for the meat guys, after 30 minutes of asking. Finally after 40 minutes of just sitting there the waiter finally came over and asked what we wanted. We said we're done, clearly you don't want us here any longer. Paid and left. read more

Today December 31 2025 waited 2 hours for food I ordered at 4pm so disappointed it's 8 pm still waiting for my food and I have a event to go with the food ! Happy new years smh read more

Have been here a few times and it's pretty good! The sides (rice/beans) come family style but it's delicious. The service has always been really good. The inside is very clean and spacious, never felt like I was sitting too close to other tables. Definitely do the all you can eat, it's worth it! read more

we went on a Sunday night and the place was pretty crowded. We had a reservation for eight people. The staff was friendly and efficient. The food was very good. I got the fish which I liked a lot. The rodizio looked really good, but i just can't eat all that food! Half the people in our party got the rodizio and the other half ordered entrées. Everybody was very happy with everything they ate. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Ordered the churrasco and my mother ordered rye branzino. Both were great and delicious.

My family loves coming here, you have to come and try their Rodizio, just make sure you bring an empty stomach since you're going be getting all kinds of meats and they just keep getting better read more

Has always been a favorite place of mine. Food is fresh and wonderful quality. My family and I have been going for 15+years. Celebrated many events there and just have had some wonderful meals. They raised their prices about a year ago and then recently raised them again. The second increase was unfortunately a a large difference. When we arrived we noticed many empty tables. After seeing the new prices, I have a feeling this was a huge contributor. We may still go for dinners there, but probably not as often. If management reads this.... Maybe they will see that it does affect their patron and business. Not a great decision unfortunately. read more

We had the best meals tonight. Didn't go for endless meat. We started with the grill calamari and garlic shrimp which was amazing. I recommend ordering the dozen. We had the lambchops, branzino and swordfish all were delicious. The place is clean and the service was outstanding. I highly recommend. read more

Usually I have a great experience at this restaurant but the last two times it has been nothing but poor service. First the hostess wasn't readily available to greet us and once she did no warm greeting just how many? She had a really poor attitude as well when we asked what they had on the kids menu. Then our server was great we ordered 3 rodizios and honestly they were either moving slow or just avoiding our table. Finally what set off this review on the menu it says 6 or more will be charged gratuity automatically. We were only 5 and honestly it was really 4 with a baby. So we debated whether to say something or not they had also added 3 desserts we didn't order so we decided to speak up. We still left 20% gratuity even though they had charged the 18% but we had them remove it. Just check your receipts ppl because yes they tried it and I think it's classless to just assume oh we might as well add it on because they aren't going to leave anything. read more

So far I've been to this restaurant a couple and I had great experiences . My family and I enjoy eating here with their great customer service and delicious food. Great food, drinks, and enjoyed the cheery atmosphere! read more

We've frequented Lusos many times over the years and always enjoy the experience. Service is outstanding, food plentiful and delicious. Prices are reasonable even now in these post COVID times. But the drinks are super overpriced and undersized. $14 for a G&T ordered with light ice but filled with ice in a small glass. Converting to a vodka on the rocks, light ice and the same. The glass was slightly larger than a large shot glass. If you want a good pour at a reasonable price with good food, Luso's is not the place. read more

I visited for the first time for my nephew's birthday celebration. I thought the service was great, food was good and plentiful. Will visit and recommend to others! read more

Food is alright. Went for the All You Can Eat option, and it comes with a whole table of things such as salad, olives, rice&beans, fries, etc. The meats are a little bit dry, and some too salty, but overall they are okay. My fav is the Sirloin. The atmosphere is nice, like a family restaurant, with whom I assume is the manager asking how we are doing table to table. However, I wish the service was generally better. I was sat next to a wall that blocked me from the majority of the dining space, which i guess is why the people who bring the meats kinda forgot about me for 20 min, and once they remembered me existing, all the people came at once. I went from nothing on my plate to a whole peaking plate within a few minutes. Also, two people dropped by asking if I wanted ketchup for my fries, I said YES plz both times, but the ketchup never came. Like why bother asking me if you are not going to get it anyway? read more

Luso Restaurant - Complementary for ayce - Portuguese Near Me - Smithtown, New York

The rodizio was delicious. I'm giving 4 out of 5 because the bacon wrapped Turkey was a bit too salty and the sides were unimpressive. The French fries just sat and got cold as were greasy and the salad could've used a bit more love. Th plantains we're great but that was it as far as enjoying sides besides rice. The pork cube and short ribs were my favorite. My family loved the skirt steak, beef cube and sausage. I would definitely return as it's well worth the 43 bucks per person. read more

First time here and it was great. We always go to the Brazilian bbq in Mineola and this so much better. The salt factor is huge. It's not over salted and the food wasn't over cooked like the other place. I'm very pleased with the whole experience, the doctor is nice and cozy. We loved it. read more

So you been to one, you been to all?? Not true.... I came to dinner with some friends and I have to say that from the minute we walked in I noticed the place was busy. We were seated very quickly and served water and bread right away. So everyone decided on having the meat fest, including myself. So all of the meats that were served all have a spiciness to them, but not overpowering. The sides, salad, rice and black beans very good. They also had sweet plantains, nice contrast with the meat, that was very juicy and very nicely cooked. Customer service was on point. I would definitely come back. Only one thing stood out, the place was overly crowed and there was no social distancing, and some staff were wearing gloves and others were not. Other than, place was very good! read more

Came here for dinner with a small group. Ordered the shrimp kabobs, beef and pork kabobs, and whole chicken for protein. They served us with rice, fries, salad, and bread for sides. We also got spicy sauce to smother our meat in. I was impressed with the meat and thought it was all well cooked and topping it with the spicy sauce made me want even more meat. I wasn't totally impressed with the sides offered though and felt like some other options could've been better. The quality of meat was nice though and definitely would recommend people try at least once read more

Great Portuguese food in Suffolk County Try the chicken and the Portuguese beer Don't get full on the bread and the salad. More good stuff to come read more

4 star food 2 star service They don't have enough wait & bus staff to support the volume of patrons. MAKE A RESERVATION! If you can. We tried and they were already booked. Because we were only party of 2, decided to come anyway and wait. We waited 40 minutes. Seating is safely socially distanced. We went with the Rodizio which consists of all different types of meats they bring to your table on hot skewer. Along with that you get sides for your table of sweet plantains, rice and beans , salad and French fries. Wish you had choice of sides because after 5 minutes the fries are a waste. You don't want cold fries with your meal. The meats were delicious, but it took too long between servings. It was clear they didn't have enough servers. And our waiter, although very nice, would disappear for long periods of time. Very difficult to get another drink. And when we asked for our check, he disappeared again. 20 minutes went by I had to seek out a manager, and then wait additional 10 minutes. The service was awful. The food was quite good. I would definitely give this place another try. read more

It was a very stressful week with some real serious issues to deal with but by Friday things were looking slightly better or as best they could for now. So it's probably a good night for dinner out. This restaurant was previously a "Sizzler" restaurant many years ago. I've seen the transformation and have wanted to eat here for some time. Well tonight I'm doing it. Parking is still the same, a little tight, but it is what it is. Train station is located behind the restaurant parking lot so overflow can park there. Immediately upon walking in I can tell this is going to be a good experience. We are immediately greeted and offered a choice of tables. Not that there's a lot of choices because this place is jumping. Once we get our table our water is being poured before we even settle. As he leaves, a family style salad shows up with a separate tray of olives. We order a bottle of sparkling water, which is delivered immediately. I'm liking this place a lot. Our waiter explains the menu. They have an "all you can eat" option where they just keep bringing you meat. Nice option but not my style. I settled for the beef and pork Shiskabob. Comes with family style sides. So I'm expecting a wood or metal rod with skewered pieces of meat and peppers and onion. No way. They bring a large plate with fist size chunks of meat with peppers and onions. I can only eat two pieces of the meat and pack up the rest to take home. Coffee.. I had there Portuguese Coffee. Brandy, fire water, espresso, and whipped cream. Never had this before but it was amazing. Do you think I'll be back? You don't have to ask twice. You guys should come too, in fact they had a section for a group of 30 people. We can put together a group at least that large, or maybe just one or two. Don't forget to order the Portuguese Coffee, you will not be We were here four months ago and I couldn't say enough good things about Luso's. Every aspect was perfect. So what happened. We decided to go this past Sunday for dinner with some friends. After being seated, everyone disappeared. Eventually water and bread came then about ten minutes later our waiter shows up. After hearing the specials my wife goes for the skirt steak and I go for the Shell steak special. The other couple ordered chicken and pork chops. Now the sides are family style. No choices. Rice, potato chips, vegetables, broccoli and sliced carrots, and French fries. Odd selection, but I'm remembering my last meal here. Of yes, they forgot the potato chips. Everyone's meal comes out except mine. Everyone is eating except me. Finally I get the attention of a bus boy and ask. He goes to a waitress at another table who is talking to some people and can't seem to be bothered. Now the manager comes over to check. Seemed like he knew something was wrong. After I explain my steak finally comes out. Oh yes, I ordered the temp "medium". Steak is very large which is typical here, but cooked rare, in fact raw to rare. So they take it back. 10 minutes later my steak returns but half the steak is gone. That's right, and still rare. Please bring the bill so I can go home and have dinner. I will say that they removed the cost of my meal from the bill. Foolishly I thought they might comp desert but not to be. I'm so disappointed because I really liked this restaurant on our first trip there. This visit made me gave to rethink if I'll return. As of right now, I don't think so. Sorry read more

Consistently excellent. The food is fresh and delicious, service is fantastic. One of my family's favorites

The barbecue chicken was delicious. The flavor was rich and savory, and the meat was tender and juicy. It has a unique taste--one I've never had elsewhere on Long Island. Our meal came with a hearty load of sides: crispy seasoned potato chips, fresh and crisp salad coated with a pleasant dressing, and warm and soft toasted bread. Also, the service was attentive and friendly. Our server, Marlo, was very kind. Good dining experience! read more

Great service and delicious food. Atmosphere is also comfortable. We did not order drinks but they looked good.

Was here for a Xmas party dinner. Not much vegan options except for the sides although they are either very soggy fries or salad swimming under heavy oil...they put BACON on their black beans and they put margarine in their rice... they have steamed vegetables which I requested no butter which I hope they got correctly. Very busy and noisy. But if you're a heavy meat eater, then this place is for u. read more

Exceptional food and service. Family run. Full menu or "All you can eat" option. Family style salad and sides included with all meals. Real charcoal rotisserie BBQ. Seafood is delicious and fresh. Lots of meat selections. Authentic Portuguese cuisine and you know it is cuz LOTS of the guests are Portuguese. read more

Horrible service and horrible food. We came for my mother's birthday hoping for it to be special and they couldn't even cook her steak the temperature she asked for. They brought it back mooing when we asked to have it cooked more. It makes no sense they wouldnt let us share a porterhouse without paying an extra $11... which is INSANE because that steak is HUGE and normally a shareable steak to order. Do not waste your time here!!!!!!!!!!! HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!! if you want to spend money a mid tier steak go to texas roadhouse instead your wallet will thank you. read more

Find the food to be way over seasoned.Had the shush kabob and had so much pepper it was virtually inedible. Service is fine and ambiance fine too. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant, the Rodizio is the best I have ever had. While many Portuguese Rodizio restaurants are good they are usually over salted across the board. While we all understand salt is an important component in the preparation of meat, the amounts used are overwhelming. Not Luso's the right amount of salt is paired with great seasoning for outstanding favor. The ribs were the only item slightly over salted, but certainly forgivable. The grilled calamari is recommended and I had seconds, deserts were good, I tried the creme brûlée, rice pudding and the tartofo. A pleasant but not outstanding finish to a great meal. Comparing this restaurant to the others such as Texas de Brazil, Brasa in Nassau county and a few forgettable others. read more

We come here often for the rodizio. The meat is super flavorful and always very delicious. We love getting the rodizio to go, which is great for 2 people and usually enough for leftovers. Fries could use a little salt though, but you don't come here for fries. the barbeque chicken is also great and very tasty. 5 stars read more

Food I'll give 8/10...tasted great. Service was a 2. Not all you can eat, be warned. We had to complain about the lack of service we received, was horrible! This place had the higher end of pricing for rodizio, which you would expect a great experience.The lady who brings water kept overlooking out table asking if we were done before we even received all the meats. She kept standing over our shoulders and staring in...the servers gave us stares as well and would pass us by....we only had one round of most meats and that was it...until we complained twice. She then looked all flustered and got a man who quickly brought one of the servers to our table with 2 more meats. read more

My first time here, and I'd definitely be returning here lol omg we had so much food and it was all very delicious! Me, wife, kids and our in laws went to today for dinner. Reservations were done same day and we walked in exactly at the time we reserved; we were seated right away. big plus being with kids. Very spacious location and very clean restaurant. I love the layout and awesome customer service provided from the waiter to bus boy to the owner herself. I love when people pay attention to detail and are always checking up on the table regardless of how busy the restaurant is. Our waters were always full and our food was delivered in a timely fashion. We order a porter house steak, whole chicken, grilled shrimp and made our own family style dinner for everybody to enjoy. As an appetizer we got sausage, salad and some bread. For dessert we ordered a flan, crème brûlée, Chocolate mousse and Tiramisu. Highly recommend as a family dinner time or lunch regardless you'll be very happy. read more

Food is great there but the staff is not up to par! I use to go when they were smaller and up the rd from where they are now. So I have kids and we have to go out early to leave early. My mother in -law calls and ask for reservations since it's 4 adults and 2 children. The girl on the phone say's there is no reservations just come and you will be seated shortly. We get there and the hostess tells us there is a 25-half hour wait. But we said we called and that we could be seated. There were many tables available. There were RESERVED cards on all tables. We asked that they said those have reservations.... ???? Hmmm thought there were no reservations? 2 other parties behind us complained and they had reservations. (Table of 4) one other couple... same deal. We were there for 10 mins. I guess the owners friends had a big table... 3-4 more tables available but people were trying to be sat. I am very upset especially when my family goes there a lot. Disrespectful. We got up and left and went to another restaurant. I am glad because I had a better time. I hate giving poor reviews but this had to go up. Try better. Your staff is rude! Owner asked if I was being helped & I even said no, he moved passed me to the party of 4 who were annoyed and he went back behind a waiter and then hugged his friends as they came in. read more
