My wife and I had the best experience with another couple friend of ours. Ramon was very friendly and made us feel welcome and comfortable. We tried the Pollinator Tequila and it was delicious. The candied bacon was perfect and the Lobster Bisk was so delicious with a little bit of fresh grated Parmesan cheese on top. The Salmon and shrimp were out of this world. I could have eaten just that and been satisfied. The skewers of flame grilled meat (Filet, Beef Rib, New York and many others) were all mouth watering and just kept coming. The atmosphere was cozy and upscale. Dim lighting and cozy ambiance made for a perfect relaxed dining experience. Our waitress Susie was so personable and attentive she was the cherry on top of a perfect evening! We will definitely be back! read more

Avenida Brazil - Excellent Pollinator Tequila that Ramon suggested! - Brazilian Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

My husband took me to Avenida Brazil for a birthday‑month dinner, and since we usually go to Chama, he thought it was time I tried this spot. We visited on March 12 at 5:45 PM, and the restaurant wasn't busy, which made the atmosphere calm and easy. The first thing I noticed was the salad bar placement -- it's positioned right by the front door, which felt unusual compared to other Brazilian churrascarias I've visited over the years. Still, the offerings were solid: the grilled pineapple was great, and the brûléed bacon was honestly the standout. They even had ceviche, though I don't eat seafood. We were seated in a tucked‑away room, and it took a bit for our server to reach us. The creamy au gratin potatoes and the cloud‑soft bread were delicious. Where the experience dipped was in the gaucho rotation -- not all of them found us, so we only tried about 10 meats, with 7 being genuinely tasty. read more

First time visit to Avenida. We have been consistently going to Chama Gaucha,Brazilian Steakhouse. The bar is set real high at Chama Gaucha Brazilian Steakhouse. We saw seafood options at Avenida & brunch options,which Chama Gaucha doesn't have. We had our fill with meat,seafood,salad. The flavor of meat,service,ambiance,etc. didn't meet my expectations,here at Avenida. My personal tastebuds say Chama Gaucha is the best bar none. read more

Went down to Avenida for my birthday dinner. The food was definitely better than the other Brazilian steakhouses in the area! The service started out decent, but then slowly faded. Dishes were needing to get replaced or taken away, refills being unattended and the server not really checking in on us. I had to ask for a dessert menu to order a dessert which ended up being free which was nice. I believe it was the manager who we had to flag down to get service at the end. He seemed very nice with good hospitality. I'm rating it high based on the food being very good. I would even give a 5 star if the service was good. I don't understand why we got the service we did but all in all the food was very good!! read more

Everything was start to finish was amazing at Avenida! We went during Restaurant for a friends birthday and they took amazing care of all of us. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. The salad bar was massive, everything I got from it tasted fresh and not like it had been sitting for hours. All the beef that I tried was so delicious! My personal favorite was the Picanha, highly recommend trying the regular and spicy! We all got the cheesecake/cake after and I loved every bite. Definitely worth trying! I will be returning in the future. read more

Stopped by for lunch during restaurant week. $30 per person. What a great deal. Service was flawless. Salad bar had nice options for every palette. The meats came out nice hot. Delicious. We were full and took our dessert included with the Restaurant Week deal for later. With restaurant seen lasting 3 weeks this Summer, we may have to come back. read more

I was excited to try Avenida for Restaurant Week so I made an 11:30 reservation. When our server took the drink order, I said I'd like some water so she offered sparkling or spring. After a trip to the salad bar, I noticed that she left a bottle of water by my glass. I knew there would be a charge so I told her I wanted tap water. She told me she wouldn't charge me. Be sure to ask for tap water if you don't want an additional charge! The salad bar looked ok. I was interested in the hot station with the candied bacon, pork belly and empanadas. The candied bacon and the pork belly were delicious. The beef empanada filling was dry. I also tried a small serving of lobster bisque soup, didn't see any bits of lobster. The server brought out a basket of fries and cheese bread, both tasted good. Then she brought a side of potatoes in a cream sauce. They were barely warm and didn't taste good. I tried the filet mignon with bacon, picanha , spicy picanha, salmon, grilled shrimp, and pork rib. I asked for a side of chimichurri sauce to add flavor to the picanha. My friend also tried the sirloin and said it was chewy. The server put a sign on our table that said restaurant week so we were not offered certain cuts of meat. Good thing I tried the filet mignon before they brought the sign to my table. After I had my fill of meat, I went back to the salad bar and hot station to look around. I wanted to sample the veggie rice, mashed potatoes and chicken stroganoff. The chicken stroganoff tasted terrible. It had such a bad taste I thought I might get food poisoning. We asked for dessert to go. The small foam container was placed in a big paper bag. I'm nosey so I opened the container and was shocked to see a tiny portion of dessert. I looked at the table next to us who received the same dessert but their portion was much larger. When I spoke to the manager, he said it was the same size. It wasn't. He offered to give us another box. Advice...eat your restaurant week dessert after the meal or you will get a small portion. This experience was interesting but it's not good enough for me to return read more

We came here for date night during restaurant week to try something new. When we arrived there was a line as a number of people were attempting to do a walk in. We made reservations so we were good to go. This steak house is very quaint and a nice ambiance. They have a full bar as well. We were sat at our table for two with the whole set up and the waitress came over to explain everything to us. We ordered drinks old fashioned and my wife had a Caipirinha. The old fashioned was pretty good (no smoke) and my wife didn't really care for the Caipirinha. Said it was very bitter. She ended up with a Pomegranate Lemon Drop Martini. She liked that one a lot better. We proceeded to the salad bar. Pasta salad, potato salad, chicken salad, egg salad, Cesar and more. They also have a soup table with different breads as well. We enjoyed a little of everything for samples. We then finished our salad bar plate and flipped card to start the meat. The severs brought out multiple cuts of meat ( Brazilian Steakhouse Style). There were some really great pieces and Some not so much . The lamb sirloin was very herbaceous ( rosemary rich). The sirloin, filet mignon (wrapped in bacon), and top sirloin are well seasoned. We did not try the pork. Dinner came with Augratin potatoes and plantains. Overall the service was pretty good. The price for drinks are a bit high ($20 for old fashioned with Woodford). It was a good experience! read more

Had a fantastic dinner here tonight. I went because of their restaurant week deal but ended up just going with the signature dinner. I don't usually do the salad bar at a Brazilian steakhouse but they had chicharrön and mashed potatoes. The chicharrön was dried out though like it had been there a while. Found some good pieces though. The wait staff was super attentive. And the meat kept coming. All was delicious. If you've been to a Brazilian steakhouse you know what time it is. But here was the first place I saw a cheese with honey being served with the meats. Seemed popular as well. Not for me but it seemed like it was well received. After all that you might wonder why I gave them two stars. Well it's because they overcharged me by $20 and i did not realize until I got home. I did notice they added a soda to our tab when we had two sweet teas and a water. When we asked about it they apologized profusely and said a different server had rung us up. Which is true. Someone different than our server got us our tab. We figured she must have thought the water was sprite. Ok easy mistake. But we also asked during the meal the cost for my 11 year old son. And the waitress told us the kid price stopped at 7 years old. Seemed young but again we thought nothing suspicious of it. We should have checked. Come to find out the kids price was $39 not $55 and it was until 11 years old. So between the extra soda and the full price dinner for a child, that's $20 extra. Don't know if I'll be back. read more

Loved this place! The staff were so sweet and accommodating. It's a Brazilian steakhouse so when that card is green, it's A LOT! The food was completely perfect, so much to choose from. Lots of parking. It's tucked way back on the street, so it's quiet around there. Had a great dinner and definitely will be coming back! read more

Wow! My expectations were exceeded here. I've been to a couple Brazilian steakhouse but this one has the best salad/grazing bar. I loved the candied bacon, blue cheese, and chimmichurri from the bar. Service was amazing and the meats came out at a great pace. The meats were seasoned and cooked beautifully. Oh and don't get started on the grilled cheese with honey! We couldn't get enough. Also the restaurant is beautiful and I loved the vibes. Perfect place for a date night or birthday celebration. This place has easily won a place in my heart and tummy! read more

Having never been to a Brazilian steak house and THIS one being my first, blew my mind. It was amazing. The ambiance set with the decor was very relaxed and made me feel like it wasn't your typical "steakhouse", it felt more luxurious yet casual. The staff are super helpful and always willing to help you however. From the staff in the front to the staff running the meats, they are all wanting to help elevate your dining experience. All of the meats I tried were cooked to perfection and I couldn't be mad. The salad bar area to all the meats, it was astounding. Highly recommend coming here if possible, you would not be leaving disappointed. read more

Smaller Brazilian style steakhouse compared to the bigger names in town, but equally amazing in service and quality. Plus it's MUCH closer so it doesn't feel like a chore to go out to eat somewhere nice. The manager did a table check with my now fiance and I, asked what we liked the most being brought to our table and made sure our favorite things kept on comin' until we we couldn't take anymore because we were stuffed! The complimentary limoncello was a nice touch for an after dinner digestive. We haven't been back yet because we are so busy with work and life, but this place stays on our list of favorite places even though we've only been once!!! read more

First time here and it was a wonderful experience! Food 10/10, ambiance 10/10 and service 10000/10! Isabella and Miriam took such great care of us! They were both so attentive the entire time we dined. The overall concept is the same as most Brazilian steak houses/restaurants. Serve yourself all sides and flip your coaster to green for "yes" or red for"no" to get served more of the meats. We arrived as soon as they opened so we got everything fresh from the salad bar. They had delicious sides from salad with a plethora of toppings, to meat empanadas. They bring a few starters: plantains, small cheese muffins, and potatoes au gratin. I loved them all. The meat cuts were also so delicious! They had so many other options like salmon, shrimp, chicken and sausage in addition to the steak options; ribeye, wagyu (our favorite), and more. We celebrated my husband's bday and they brought his dessert on a cute bday plate. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience Avenida Brazil ! read more

Flawless experience here. This would probably have to be the best Brazilian steakhouse I've ever been to. The staff was incredibly friendly and very attentive to any of our requests and needs. The inside is gorgeous. They have lots of decorations on the wall and the lighting is nice as well. I really like the fact that they have the $40 deal for dinner Monday through Thursday this month. The best part about this is they don't hold out on any meats because they are doing this promotion. My favorite meats are definitely the ribeye the Wagyu and the beef ribs. Highly recommend this spot! read more

I often wish we had a Brasao on this side of town but this place holds me over well until I get back over to the Rim. Did the rodeo special. The lobster bisque was just so creamy and decadent. The garlic bread was so good that it gave the Brazilian cheese puffs a run for their money. Fair warning that they do charge for water if you don't specify that you want tap water. read more

Jeremiah and Giselle were our wait staff. They made sure we had everything we needed. They really kept on top of it. We really enjoyed our experience at Avenida. The meats were excellent. I feel that they should add more potatoes au gratin in the serving tray if there are 3 or more ppl at the table. The taste everything was excellent. The only bad thing for me was the women's restroom smelled like sewage. Would I come back to this location...prob not unless that was taken care of. We wanted to give this one a try since we've tried all the others in San Antonio. read more

Made a late reservation to have lunch at this new Brazilian steakhouse during Restaurant Week. Upon walking in, I noticed the decor was very nice and appealing. Our server met us almost immediately upon arriving at our table, which was also nice. Overall, the service was friendly and very efficient. I think what stood out most was the speed of the gauchos to come and go to our table with their offerings. While I didn't visit the salad bar, my first impression while walking past it was that it was very clean and presented well. My favorite cuts were absolutely on-point. especially the top and bottom sirloin. The good-sized shrimp were a nice added surprise and were perfectly done, as well. Overall, the price point was very good during Restaurant Week but even the regular lunch price ($39) is very affordable for such a feast. Solid experience. read more

We came for lunch to try the menu they had for restaurant week. I will say that I was thoroughly impressed that they were open and ready to serve in spite of the below freezing weather last night. We were immediately seated when we got to the restaurant. Our server explained how they work which we were already familiar with. We started with the salad bar which had a nice selection. The picture on my plate does not do it justice at all. I will say that the lobster bisque was really delicious. The select meats kept coming once we had our green cards showing. The sirloins, ribs, chicken, shrimp, cheese with honey were all very good. I also love the look of the interiors. This place is nicely decorated. All together, we had a nice and relaxing experience. We ate way too much but we loved every minute of it. read more

Avenida Brazil is a lovely restaurant near 1604 & 281. I immediately noticed that the dual sided salad bar looked smaller than other Brazilian restaurants in town, but the offerings were plentiful, fresh and satisfying. Avenida Brazil actually has more hot items in their salad bar than Im accustomed to, which includes two soups (lobster bisque and tomato basil), black beans, Brazilian rice, empanadas and several other options. I liked that there was a salad bar option, a seafood (salmon and shrimp) plus salad bar as well as a traditional meat, seafood and salad bar buffet dinner option. The salad and soup were so good that I had to stop there on this visit, but I'll be back to try the full menu next time! Service was great and the restaurant had a lovely large chandelier that elevated the look and feel of the restaurant. read more

Avenida Brazil - Salad from the salad bar, potato wedges, cheesy potatoes, Brazilian cheese bread & fried bananas - Brazilian Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

It's good, yes. It's not great. We've been multiple times since the opening and it's always just been middle of the road. They don't use Prime cuts, that's evident, but they do ok with what they have. The standouts are really the shrimp and salmon (which we never saw this time around), and they added scallops a while back but I'm not sure how they are prepared because there's no char or grill or sear on them at all. DH put one in his mouth and spat it out immediately- too fishy- so I didn't even bother with mine (and scallops are my favorite seafood!) They told us they've started doing some things differently- instead of bringing out the sides, they've added them near the salad bar area where you can help yourself, and some they will bring by request. They've also stopped providing fountain soft drinks. A can of soda is $4.50, no refills obviously, so if your child enjoys a nice Sprite or something, just hope they're not too thirsty! It's a pretty restaurant with multiple dining areas and beautiful decor but, for better service, ask to sit in the main dining room. The service tempo is definitely more relaxed than the other places, there isn't as much hustle or attention to detail. Still good for a nice meal, just not a first choice for us. Reservations recommended but not necessary. read more

The ambiance of the place is so relaxing, love the jazz style music, the fun cute bar with yummy drinks! The food is amazing, my fave is the lobster bisque, all the side are equally as impressive, and the meat.. omg.. mouth watering.. all the staff were nice, they didn't round with the lamb, and did not bring out a lot seafood but still delicious! I love the pineapple at the salad bar but I wish they did offer a hot version that they would walk around and serve.. overall amazing and we will be back read more

What stood out the most about this steakhouse was the many fish options. You don't normally see fish at a Brazilian steakhouse but I throughly enjoyed the shrimp, salmon, and other dishes. The meats were as to be expected. Cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The service was also good. It was a somewhat small building but was still very inviting with a very balanced seating arrangement and decor. 4 out of 5. Check them out for yourself. read more

My wife and I wanted to try Avenida Brazil my birthday dinner because we love the Brazilian steakhouse concept - trying many different cuts and types of meat. We had reservations and were seated promptly. A server came and took our drink order and never returned. About 10 minutes later, a different server came to the table and asked to take our drink order - we told her that we had already placed the order with a different server. About 20 minutes after we placed our initial drink order, I flagged down a third server and explained the situation. He apologized profusely and had our drinks out fairly quickly after that. The salad bar was very typical of any of the Brazilian steakhouses in town - good variety and all appeared fresh and were well plated. I was disappointed in the meat selection and quality. My wife asked for lamb chops and was told they were cooked to order. About 30 minutes later (after we had finished eating and ordered dessert), the lamb chops were delivered to the table. Very frustrating. The restaurant was good sized, but was poorly laid out in my opinion - I felt like walking to and from the table to the salad bar or restroom, it was VERY crowded and very broken up with no ability to walk in a straight line - I felt you had to zig-zag around tables or the salad bar to move around. We both decided that this was a "one and done", as we have had much better service and higher quality of meat at other Brazilian steakhouses in town. read more

Came here for the $39 March Dinner Deal for my boyfriends birthday. It was good. I appreciated the variety of meats they brought out but some of the servers kept skipping our table regardless of us having the green side up , we had to ask for them to come by. The place is pretty small and tight so it's hard to get around. Although this is a formal steakhouse, I found it distasteful that they charge for water and don't notify you of it. I have been to plenty of steakhouses and none charge you for it unless you SPECIFICALLY ASKED for the bottled/glass water or sparkling. Instead they just asked "sparkling or spring" and did not suggest it came with a cost. They also automatically added the tip on the receipt which is usually done for tables 6 or more.. we were 5 and the reservation was for 5. Fine for the March Deal but I would not pay regular price here just because of the first impression I got from this place. I rather drive to Austin for their steakhouses. read more

This will be added to our Brazilian steakhouse rotation. The meats were really tasty, their salad/soup bar has a variety of items like pork cracklings, which were really tasty. The staff was really nice and helpful also, however they did end up making a mistake on our drink charges (which they 100% remediated) and found out that they overcharged our kid as an adult. When I asked what the cut of age was I was met with "I am not sure, I think 7". Their website had a different age limit and we didn't check until we had already left. However, we will certainly be back! read more

I had heard good things about Avenida Brazil which had me wanting to try it out. We ended up coming during Restaurant Week and had a good time. The salad bar is quite large and offers alot of options including hot soup. There did seem to be some miscommunication about the menu for Restaurant Week because the servers coming around with the meat simply walked away when I asked for a lamb chop, even though out waiter specifically sent him to our table. Also our waiter was new, so she didn't know the details either, which was a little frustrating. In the future, I would either increase the price to include the full menu or make it clear at the beginning of the meal so there is no confusion. My friend also had issues getting meat to the right temp. Overall, it was a good meal and experience, but there are other Brazilian restaurants that I might go to before coming back here. read more

I really wanted to like this place more than Brasão and Chama Gaucha since it's priced slightly lower than those two Brazilian restaurants. However, I'd rather pay the premium to get better quality of food and service at those two aforementioned restaurants. Service was good but not superb, and given the price point, I expected there to be better attention to detail. The table ended up with lots of meat "crumbs" that were never brushed off using a crumb collector by any of the wait staff. The salad bar was also very lackluster, with no cheese wheel of parmesano reggiano. I usually look forward to the salad bar to start off a great Brazilian steakhouse experience, but it was only okay. They did have a hot foods station, which I thought was cool, but the hot foods weren't any spectacular either. Onto the meats: you can't go wrong with the classic picanha cut, which was cooked beautifully and at a perfect temperature. The lamb chop was also tender but wasn't nearly as good as the those offered at the other two steakhouses mentioned earlier. The shrimps were also slightly overcooked and weren't as tender as I expected them to be. (These are the three meat items I judge Brazilian steakhouses on. In my opinion, a really good one will excel in all three.) The ambiance was great, and I really liked the set up of the tables and decor. Will I return? Probably not, but I think if you've never been to a Brazilian steakhouse before and want to have a good experience for an affordable price, definitely check this place out for lunch on Fridays! (Only $39pp for ayce, not including tax and tip.) read more

Came to this place for a small Bday dinner for the Mr approximately 5 people. We had reservations set for 5:00pm right when it opened. Upon arrival we checked in (smoothly) we were then seated and provided the round notifications (let's then no if you want more or no meat) they had a good selection of sides we initially went in for the 7meat selection (very lumited meats)but ended up with the full meat since lamb chops was not available. The service was pretty good we had to adk for specific meats and sometimes I felt very rushed in selection. Despite having a no pork sign for a person at the table they still insisted on asking(they just needed be more aware)Be Aware:They come around with top shelf liquor which they neglected to let you know they charge extra for(18.00 for a shot) The food was nice and fresh and at the end they offered a piece of Bday cake.

Well I don't cook turkeys so for our thanksgiving tradition we go to a Brazilian steak house. And this year we went to Avenida and I think we have found our new holiday spot. Alex took amazing care of our whole family. The staff were so warm and welcoming. We loved the decor and warm feeling of the entire place. The regular food items were delicious and the special Thanksgiving items were tasty as well. What a great variety of everything! Everyone had their fill and it was one of the best Thanksgivings we have had. We will definitely be back. Great for special occasions with the family, a date or friends. read more

Our first time here but definitely not the last! An intimate setting for a fabulous Brazilian meal. Lights are low, nice music, even a window side table. Greeted immediately and drinks were out within minutes. They have a cold salad bar and a warm salad bar as well as strolling waiters with beef, chicken, lamb, and sausage plus salmon, scallops, and shrimp! I'll try to describe the scrumptious offerings that my husband or I tasted. They offer a traditional selection of salads including wedge, caprese, caesar, and several others. Hubby said the fresh raw tuna was as good as wagyu beef and the smoked salmon was superb. Terrific selection of cheeses to include a marvelously creamy blue cheese. The warm bar included a delightfully creamy lobster bisque - you could see and taste the lobster - the most wonderful caramelized bacon, oven-roasted pork butt, and more. The meat selections included a super tender lamb steak, lamb chops, beef sirloin, beef picanha, chicken breast wrapped in bacon, chicken thighs, sausage, perfectly seasoned grilled shrimp, garlic sauteed scallops, and a delightful salmon. They brought au gratin potatoes (super creamy cheese), cheese puffs, and fried bananas to the table. Probably even more that I can't recall. Every item was perfect. They offer a dessert menu but neither of us could even think about more to eat. The service was absolutely superb. All wait staff checked regularly to see what else you might want to taste. Drinks were refreshed regularly. The full bar has about 6 seats and looked like a great place to meet friends. They offer an extensive wine list and many creative cocktails. There are about 20 tables plus a private room for about 2 dozen. You don't feel pressed for time or space. The restrooms were super clean and both men's and women's had a baby changing station. Plenty of parking in their lot. read more

Avenida Brazil is a standout among Brazilian steakhouses because of the variety of grilled meats--especially seafoods--and premium offerings on the salad bar. The restaurant is in a strip mall tucked between a bookstore and a movie theater, but the signage's faux flames will grab your attention. Near the front door there is a window for watching the process of seasoning and grilling the meats over hot coals. The dining room sparkles with chandeliers and pendants. The noise level is pleasant and it's easy to have a conversation. The staff will explain to newbies how to show you're ready for meats, but first you should load up at the salad bar. In addition to the fresh vegetables and fruits, there is a nice selection of seafood like seared tuna, crab salad, and smoked salmon and trout. The grilled meat selections also included fish and seafood like salmon, shrimp, and scallops. The meats, especially the signature picanha and sirloin, had rich seasonings and a smoky aroma from the wood burning grill. The dessert menu offers flan, chocolate cake, cheesecake, creme brûlée, and more. Avenida Brazil is a satisfying steakhouse and salad bar that makes guests feel welcome. It would be a good choice for date night or a special occasion with a group. read more

I was very disappointed with my experience at this Brazilian steakhouse. The food was largely bland and didn't live up to the expectations set by the menu or the price. Several seafood options that were advertised weren't available, which was frustrating. The service felt rushed, and our server seemed impatient, making the evening feel uncomfortable rather than enjoyable. Given how expensive the meal was, the overall experience was extremely underwhelming. To make matters worse, everyone in my party became ill afterward with what appears to be food poisoning. Unfortunately, this was not a meal or experience worth the cost, and I won't be returning. read more

I'm a steak lover and it was on my mind when arriving into San Antonio. I opted to go the 'no chain' route because I wanted to try something different that was close to the airport and stumbled upon this place. Per the yelp pics (shout out to all of y'all) I was happy to see they had Salmon, Shrimp AND Scallops as options (say what?!?!?)! I was immediately seated and everyone from the hostess, servers to the manager were extremely nice. The salad/hot bar were pretty standard, but I specifically enjoyed seeing, what looked like, a beef fried rice option which was good. My fave was the lobster bisque (more on that later). 5 stars for sure at this point.... Now on to the steak and meats; overall, not much seasoning on the steaks specifically. All were cooked to my liking but lacked flavor on most selections. The house special was the show eventhough they had plenty of options. The Salmon, good but dry, and the scallops had a weird bitter taste which was very disappointing b/c I love scallops. Now the winner of the night was the shrimp--hands down! Those things were huge, drenched with perfect flavor and when dipped in the lobster bisque, were absolutely amazing. I swear I ate 1.5 sticks of those things! HA. I was too full for dessert, but I'd definitely return just to see if the seasoning on the steaks and the taste of the scallops were an issue on this day only. Overall great choice for the evening. read more
