Unbelievably good and great value. Lots of grilled meats (all delicious). All of the sides were great, especially the yucca fries!

We came here for the first time today, and the waiter introduced us how to eat. We had sirloin beef, ribs, lamb, sausages, and the taste was very good. The price was also good, and it was worth trying. Btw, Restroom is clean

What a pleasant surprise! Tried this spot on a whim the other day. Was a little thrown off by the set up but I was so glad we decided to give it a try. The food was absolutely delicious. The restaurant was very clean and the staff were so friendly and informative. I’m a picky eater but, even though the selection was on the smaller side of your average buffet, everything I tried was very good. They definitely offer quality food here. Will be back again for sure!

First time in & I have to say I absolutely LOVE this place. Food is amazingly delicious with a lot to choose from. The staff is very friendly & accommodating. Clean & nicely decorated inside. A must try if you love Brazilian food.

My kids love this place. Last time we were there I brought my mother who was visiting. We had a great experience and that is why I am giving a 5. Today I went back and it was not so good. Few things: Salad buffet is not appealing and boring. Corners of the cold buffet needs detail cleaning. My choice of doneness on the meat was medium and I got rare. I should have said something at the time but I thought I could eat it. I brought it back to have the meat cooked more or replaced with fresh cut meat. I got my same meat re-heated and warm. At the end of the check out we said something and we were told to ask for well done next time. Of course I will be back with my family because my kids love the Brazilian grilled style meats. This was just a one off.

Had been to the Norwood location so was delighted to have them open a new location right down the street from my house. Would say this location is actually better, nicer atmosphere inside, same great food. It's different from other Brazilian restaurants I have been to where it's all you can eat, you pay by the pound instead. Which is better if you just want a normal amount of food since it's much less cost then the all you can eat places. Buffet style sides and the meats are at a carving station and you tell the cook what you would like and doneness of the meat. Lots of variety from different cuts of beef, to pork, chicken and sausage.
