Serra Gaucha Brazilian Steakhouse was an absolute experience!…read more We were advised to enjoy the Special Course Meal, and OMG... we are SO glad we did! The parade of meats kept coming on repeat, and every round was better than the last. We enjoyed Picanha, Top Sirloin, Bottom Sirloin, Tri-Tip, and Filet Mignon Wrapped in Bacon--and yes, they just kept coming! The meats were flavorful, tender, and cooked beautifully. And then there was the elevated salad and sides bar, featuring fresh salmon, olives, cheeses, salads, and so many delicious options that it could practically be a meal all by itself. The service, the atmosphere, the endless selection, and that incredible Brazilian steakhouse experience made this a meal we won't soon forget. Serra Gaucha, you definitely know how to put on a feast! Come hungry, because you're going to want to try EVERYTHING!

We were worry about the experience we saw on yelp but our experience was good…read more We tracked the meat they list on their website, and we actually got almost everything. The bacon wrapped chicken/pork/steak did come several times, and more than other protein options, but we got picanha several times as well. Besides the meat, my personally favorite was their honey grilled cheese, so warm and not too sweet. For beverage, I highly recommend Brazil limenade, very refreshing and also not too sweet, perfect for cleaning your palate after eating so many oily meat. Their service was also spot on, very friendly. However, we thought we could get grilled pineapple, but realized it's an add on. Overall, a lot of choices and you will get really full.

The flavor was very good- there was a slight smokey flavor but you could tell the steak had been marinating for a while! We asked for the filet mignon and they grilled it right up for us! I would however order it at the very beginning because it can take a while depending on how busy the kitchen is. At the beginning our server wasn't all that attentive because to be honest I think she was just very overwhelmed because there were a ton of people there. However, she did make up for it at the end because she offered us a free dessert! I'm only going it 4 stars out of 5 because the sides are tasteless and honestly you could do without the market table. I didn't love anything and if you want mashed potatoes you have to order them which I think is quite a marketing play. Lastly, make sure you order the sauces that is the cherry on top and they are free!

We were really looking forward to celebrating two special occasions at Fogo de Chão, our 8th…read morewedding anniversary and our daughter's 7th birthday. I made the reservation in advance and specifically noted both celebrations, and I also mentioned them to our server at the beginning of dinner. We were told they would bring out desserts to celebrate. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing, especially for a special occasion. The meat service was extremely slow and inconsistent. For the first 30 minutes, we barely received any meat service at all and sat around waiting. We eventually had to complain to our server, who said they would have the gauchos come toward our table more often. Even after that, we only had one person come by, and it was a meat we had already tried. After we complained a second time, we were suddenly bombarded with meat service, which made the experience feel very disorganized. It shouldn't take multiple complaints before guests receive the service they are paying for. We were also disappointed by the lack of variety in the food. By the end of dinner, the overall experience just wasn't what we has anticipated. Plus the desserts that we were told would be brought out for our anniversary and our daughter's birthday never came. At that point, I was already frustrated with the experience and didn't want to wait around any longer, so we paid the bill and left. We chose Fogo de Chão specifically to celebrate two important family milestones, so it was especially disappointing that the service and attention to the occasion fell short. For the price, we expected much better service, variety, and overall experience. We also chose to try this location over the Gilbert one (even though we're closer to Gilbert) because we thought the service would be better at a place that has been established a lot longer.

Drinks and food were amazing. Period. For appetizers we had the hummus, goat cheese, and wings. Everyone had an assortment of dinner plates and loved them.

We did wait quite a lot for the main course, fortunately we had shared the hummus and the whipped goat cheese which were awesome too. Unfortunately they had ran out for some items in the menu, including a dessert we really wanted to try. The ambience was great, they were playing African music at some point too. Would go back to try other things in the menu. We were thinking they probably ran out because they had been busy.

This time we came in for Arizona Restaurant Week and it was…read moreincredible, we tried the sirloin and the Wagyu short rib with sides like French onion mashed potatoes, garlic broccolini and the gigantic baked potato! We started off with the pork belly appetizer, the burrata over spaghetti squash and the shrimp cocktail! They were all delicious then the entrees came out and we absolutely loved all of it ! The service was also amazing , Ken our server was great. He has a way with explaining the food that makes you want to order it all Second year we came for my mom's birthday and Ken made her birthday special with the cake for the table.

We came back here for my birthday dinner and I was quite pleased with it…read more I started with the Lobster Bisque, it was rich and had a lot of lobster in it...very nice!! Hubby just enjoyed the bread service, he couldn't get enough of it...LOL! We both had Filet Mignon...both medium...I added a Bordelaise sauce, which took mine over the top. We split the Brussel Sprouts side...it had tart cherries, bacon and a maple glaze...lovely!! Now, here's why it's a 4 instead of a 5--for dessert, I was so looking forward to their Bananas Foster (it's my favorite), but they no longer have it! NOOOOO!! I was obviously disappointed, but chose to have their Chocolate Cake. The cake was way too dense, but the ganache was decadent and so good. I ended up just scraping the ganache off...hey, it was my birthday!!!!! We'll still come back, the service is always nice and their steaks are delicious!! I'll keep my fingers crossed that somehow they'll put the Bananas Foster back on their menu.

First time at Rodizio Grill. Food was fantastic! People were terrific. Ambiance (at lunch time)…read morewas good enough. There's a cold salad bar, a hot food bar, and meats delivered to your table. The variety on the cold salad bar was amazing! BLT, mozzarella, fruit, potato and standard romaine were just some of the salads offered, with a large amount of toppings available. The hot bar had Brazilian cheese bread, crispy polenta, beef stroganoff, bean stew, breakfast items and more! All was delicious. But don't get too distracted - the meat is the star. The meats were so very good! You choose what you want and the gaucho slices your portion table side. I asked for very small pieces so I could try everything. I believe I had 4 different beef preparations, 3 chicken and 3 pork (sausage, ham and loin). Such variety and deliciousness! And mustn't forget the grilled/glazed pineapple- I'd go back just for that! This place is not cheap, but I believe it's worth it (if you're hungry). We went for lunch which was lower priced than dinner, and I doubt we'll eat the rest of the day. My belly is full and my wallet is lighter, but my oh my am I happy!

I did not take any pictures, but we came in on a Sunday around 2PM for Brunch with friends…read more This was everyone's first time visiting. However, I had been in once before when they first opened up. All the staff were super friendly. It was relatively busy, but there was no wait to be seated. I will note that coming before 3PM is the best deal because it's only $36.99 per person for the Full Rodizio versus $49.99 per person after 3PM. Honestly, their salad / side bar has really good offerings. Even if you're not in the mood for meat, you can get some really good offerings from the salad / side bar. There is an option to skip the meat for a cheaper price. The food is all you can eat, which is nice! However, you better come hungry to get your moneys worth. I really like the concept of the place. The food was all very good, fresh, and high quality. The issue I have is that I feel like I can't possibly eat enough to get my money worth. So I would not come to this place often....

The service was unmatched. From the Valet parking to the front desk. Also, our server was the absolute best! I felt like there wasn't anything he wouldn't do for us. He was very happy and upbeat. I think his name was J. He is a big part of the reason the visit was so special. The food was mostly excellent. I got a petite filet and lobster tail with Caesar salad and fried brussel sprouts. I do love them crunchy and they were. The salad barely had any dressing. It would have been better with a little more. My fault for not asking. Now the steak; my whole reason for the trip. Honestly, a little disappointing. The cut was beautifully tender. That why I love a good filet. Unfortunately, there was very little caramelization on the outside. I would have enjoyed more. Also, there didn't seem to be very much seasoning. I like it a little more on the salty side, but I am sure others don't. I'm sure I could request it next time. Last, the lobster tails made up for any possible shortcomings in anything else. It is rare, that I have one as perfect as these were. Absolute heaven! Sure, I'll be back. I know exactly how to order my perfect meal now. Stellar job folks!

Stopped here for dinner on Labor Day at around 515 so it wasn't too busy but great ambiance. I love the decor it's very inviting! My waiter was so friendly and helpful. I originally came cuz I saw this lobster tagliatelle dish but I actually wasn't too hungry and was going to the Drunk Pirates show after so I didn't want to be weighed down. The catch of the day was a sea bass which sounded great and over a succotash with a pork gastrique with corn nut crunch. And OMG when I say this was prob the best succotash I've ever had. Super crunchy fresh corn, asparagus, snap peas and bell peppers. The sea bass was also cooked great, very crispy skin and glaze. I'm literally thinking about it now. I also ended up getting the Lost in the Woods dessert which was a delicate chocolate mousse on shortbread with like a candied hazelnut and cookie dust. Every bite was heavenly. I wish I could've tried the other desserts too. I would literally come back to Phoenix just to eat here again. I want to try the beef Wellington so I'll need to drag a friend to come with me too since it's a serving whole for 2. Overall cannot recommend enough!

I also love the soondubu. Tip: ask for less tofu if you want more of the broth to go with the meat as you eat instead of being full from the tofu. They also have many sauces you can try to dip your meat in. I got the garlic sauce, spicy sauce, and bean paste. All were great! The menu is extensive, there were many items I would love to try but I was too full. I will be back to try more!

Our server Joyce was AMAZING and she took very well care of our table!…read more The manager on site (9/4 @ 5pm) was not very personable and kept cutting us off when we were asking questions about seating to accommodate one person in our party before being seated. Instead of listening to the questions he kept answering with whatever he wanted to say. "5 fit in the booth" "yes they do" "if you don't want it than that's fine" when we were trying to get two tables for our party to accommodate someone larger in the group. The whole interaction started when him checking the name and shutting down the initial request to speak to him with "____ yeah you've already checked in" and started speaking to another group behind us.
