    Raw meat, tasteless.  Cheese bread old and hard.  Food was disgusting.
    Werner A.

    DISGUSTING. Not recommended at all. Food. The food was so old and tasteless. The meat was nothing but disgusting. Not flavor. Every time I asked for medium well it was served raw, no salt, no garlic, tasteless. If one of your most popular foods is the cheese bread it should be outstanding but this was old and hard. Ambiance. Dinner time and the restaurant completely empty. Service. The only reason I have one date is that our waiter Douglas was the best. Very kind very attentive. But the guy that was serving the meat was the opposite.

    Delicious food

    Since i had missed the delicious Brazilian food we decided to visit this restaurant. First timer...This Brazilian Steakhouse serves delicious food with a phenomenal service. The manager who assisted us was extremely hospitable and every member of the staff was very attentive and cordial. The price of the buffet is very reasonable. I tried a couple of meat cuts and they were excellent. The picanha, sausage, lamb, rice and beans and every bite was very savory and delicious. I really enjoyed the rice, farofa and beans!!!! Overall everything was very tasty. I ordered the maracujá caipirinha and I loved it. The restaurant is very unique and the service provided was outstanding. I was happy to enjoyed a truly Brazilian experience. We will revisit to try the desserts! ;)

    $111 lunch for 2.  $18% mandatory tip FOR A SELF-HELP BUFFET!!! THATS JUST OUTRAGEOUS!

    Worst dining value in south FL. Brazilian lunch, loaded with salt and mediocre quality foods. The nerve of them to charge this much ($38.95pp) for a buffet, $3.50 for a can of soda and to add a mandatory 18% tip (for a self-serve buffet!!!! Wtf are they thinking???). That's $15.99 to bring a cup of coffee and 2 sodas to the table, and take away a few empty dishes!?!?. Empty empanadas, a bowl of bananas, a bowl of corn, average lobster bisque...mediocre food. Steak wrapped in undercooked bacon. The worst was the citrus chicken skewer which was little drumsticks. Not even chicken breasts. Is this a joke? This little restaurant is a TERRIBLE value for lunch and I left there feeling I had been taken advantage of.

    This place is a hole-in-the-wall GEM! Was skeptical at first when I pulled in but tried it anyway and so glad I did. Food is awesome! The local Brazilian drink taste great too. Definitely recommend

    My husband and I finally decided to stop in and we are glad that we did. Once we entered the beautiful restaurant we were greeted and seated immediately. Don't let the outside of the building fool you, it's a really nice, date night spot. It's an all you can eat with a great variety salad bar and you go straight to the meat section yourself. This is so much better that waiting for them to serve you. We found the meat to be good quality and cooked for different tastes. The food was so good that we had to take dessert to go. We will be back!

    Bit of a hole in the wall. If I wasn't invited to this place by a friend, I would have never known it existed. Once you step inside you know you're in for a treat. Has a strong ambiance, All you can eat food bar and Steak + Sausages roasting on a spit. The food was surprisingly good.

    This was my first visit to this restaurant, the food was very well cooked, the staff members were all very friendly and all helped out. The restaurant was very clean and the salad bar was kept clean and well stocked with fresh food This was a different Experience for me for a rhodesian restaurant. I'm use to them coming to the table, but wanted to give this a try since the reviews were so good. Glad I did, I will come back next time Im in the neighborhood

    Can we do the rodízio and sit outdoors?

    What's the cost of the buffet?

    Do they cook pork together with everything else in the same pot / grill?

    For certain dishes like Feijoada Not for everything they serve!!

    Do I "HAVE" to make a reservation?

    I never had to. At least for party of 4-5 people there's always tables available.

    Do they have a salad bar only price? How much is it if so?

    I suggest you don't go to that restaurant. The food is the least convenient for its price. Little variety - Prices not posted for easy looking. Very bad experience

    How much does the standard buffet dinner cost?

    $30

All I can say is that you should try it at least once, because there are not enough stars that I can give it. This is a unique farm experience if you want to find out what Brazilian cooking is all about. If you go, go with friends, because everything is made fresh and it can take sone time to prepare everything for everyone. But you can take your own bottles of wine or champagne while waiting, and believe me, once you taste the array of food that is provided, you'll ser that the wait was worth it. The staff is very friendly and the ambiance is casual, but warm and welcoming, as if you discovered an aunt who lives on a farm and wants to treat you to a meal. This is definitely a hidden gem that I recommend to everyone

It's a magical experience. Over 4 hours you experience a 3-course meal prepared with love. The proceeds go to the church across the street. The dinner service is only 1-3 Saturdays a month. Beautiful Portuguese music plays all night. You feel like you are in Brazil. It's BYO wine. No beer or liquor. They have animals, tractor rides, and rope swings for kids. First course is salad, cornbread, flatbread pizza, 5 or 6 soup options, and pan de bono (cheese bread). Entrees range from goat, beef, chicken, fish skirt steak, and oxtail. Sides include rice, yuca, plantains, beans, potatoes, and countless vegetables. The dessert options range from tres leches, flan, chocolate cake, brownies, key lime pie and so many others.

    This is an awesome restaurant to try a different variety of meats!…read moreWe were greeted at the door and quickly sat. The restaurant has some beautiful neon decor on the walls. The waiter was very friendly and helpful. It was our first time there, so we needed a few tips navigating the menu. We opted for the Bandeja especial which brings Lamb chops, chorizo, churrasco, chicken wrapped in bacon, picanha and Bbq ribs. Which is great because you get to eat a little of everything on the menu. They did run out of ribs, and doubled our chicken which was okay. The chicken is absolutely delicious! So moist and flavorful! The picahna and churrasco were just as good. And the chorizo,,, you can never go wrong there! It includes 3 different sauces to pair along with the meats which are just as delicious. For side we got the rice, beans, and yucca fries. Do yourself a favor and get the fries!!! They are amazing! Nice and thin and crispy. The perfect bite! We were a party of 5 and we still had leftover meat after we all ate. Great portion sizes for a great reasonable price!
