We came to Show De Carnes for dinner on a Friday evening around 7:15pm. When we walked in, we were…read moregreeting by sounds of live music. Most of the inside seating was full, only 2 tables for 2 were available (were were a party of 3), but a nice lady (might be the owner's daughter) with 2 small children got up and came up to me to let me know she was getting ready to leave soon. She moved all their stuff and the 2 children to one of the small tables so the bigger table could be cleaned for us. They were a little short handed that day (owner said someone called in sick), so just the owner and cook were working. Bother owner and the cook worked fast to clean the table so we could be seated. More people came in after us and sat in their outdoor seating (a little chilly to sit outside that day). The owner did a great job serving all the customers by himself. The cook would help deliver the cooked food as well and help with customers if he wasn't cooking. The owner was apologetic about the slower service, but in actuality, it wasn't bad. As for the food, we ordered our usual, the Picanha Steak Platter (feeds 2-4 people) which is our favorite and over the best deal. Unfortunately in the past 2 years the price has gone up by about $20 (currently $70.99), but is still a great deal for 5 steaks on a sizzling platter (cooked to the doneness you want), rice and beans. The meal was delicious as usual. They have other great selections as well. Check them out for some great Brazilian food that is made to order.

Came in for date night and had a wonderful experience. Instead of the traditional Brazilian…read moresteakhouse service, we opted to order à la carte and shared the tomahawk steak. It was the perfect size for two and cooked beautifully--tender, flavorful, and presented perfectly. To complete the meal, we added several items from the marketplace, including fresh vegetables and sides that paired wonderfully with the steak. Everything was fresh, well-prepared, and made for a satisfying dinner without feeling overly heavy. The atmosphere is upscale yet comfortable, making it a great spot for date night or a special occasion. Service was attentive, and we never felt rushed. If you're not looking for the full Brazilian steakhouse experience, ordering the tomahawk à la carte with a few marketplace selections is a fantastic option. We'll definitely be back for another date night!

Went for happy hour, and WOW, what a pleasant surprise! It's seriously one of those hidden gems…read moreespecially for happy hour connoisseur-LoL! The happy hour food selection was really solid and had that authentic Brazilian flair. We loved the pão de queijo (those addictive Brazilian cheese breads that are crispy outside and soft and cheesy inside), bacon-wrapped chicken, various skewers, and especially one of the best I have had chimichurri sauce that was bright, garlicky, and just perfect. The tri-tip sliders were a highlight too, tender, flavorful, and gone way too fast. These are not giant sliders. They're finger size but very tasty. There were other nice looking bites as well; overall, plenty to share and enjoy without feeling like you're missing out. The drinks were another win. Well made, balanced, refreshing, and hitting all the right notes (think classic Brazilian cocktails done right). That said, the selection felt a bit limited compared to some other happy hours around town that offer a bigger variety. All in all, I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the mood for some great Brazilian barbecue vibes without the full commitment. The happy hour is a good way to discover the great food, solid drinks, and a chill atmosphere. Definitely going back, and you should too before it stops being a secret!

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary here tonight. We had visited Galpão Gaucho a couple of…read moreyears ago and absolutely loved the experience, which is why we decided to come back. The food is still excellent. The meats were flavorful, well-prepared, and reminded us why we enjoyed our first visit so much. Unfortunately, the overall dining experience felt very different this time around. Almost immediately, we noticed a much faster tempo of service and what felt like excessive attentiveness. While good service is appreciated, it reached a point where it became disruptive. Between the multiple servers, managers, and gauchos continuously stopping by our table, my wife and I could barely get through a sentence of conversation before someone appeared to ask how everything was, whether we needed anything, wanted more bread, water, sauce, a clean plate, or another round of meats. There was also a constant sense of being upsold throughout the evening. We were repeatedly encouraged to purchase a bottle of wine, try tequila shots from the roaming tequila cart, or upgrade to the 24-karat edible gold-wrapped top sirloin. While I understand restaurants promote premium offerings, the frequency of these pitches started to feel more like pressure than hospitality. What was most frustrating was that even after flipping our table indicator to red, which is supposed to signal a pause in meat service, the interruptions continued. At that point, we simply wanted to enjoy our meal and spend time together, but it felt like we spent more time interacting with staff than with each other. Ironically, the nonstop interruptions caused us to eat much faster than we intended. For two people, the bill came to nearly $300 after my 18% gratuity. The food is undeniably good, but for a special occasion like an anniversary, the experience matters just as much as the meal. Sadly, this visit felt more rushed and sales-driven than relaxing and memorable. We'll remember the quality of the food, but we're not sure the overall dining experience justifies the price anymore. We won't be going back anytime soon.

From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels upscale but not stuffy. There was a pianist playing beautiful classical versions of Top 40 songs from different decades (along with some traditional classical bangers), the live music was a fun and unexpected touch. The hostess was lovely and attentive, even offering to seat us before everyone arrived. The buffet area is absolutely gorgeous. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and clearly cared for. I know better, it's not my first rodeo (legit Gaucha here), Feijao, a pinch of rice, a few leaves of salad, and a micro-dosing of potato salad, than I sat back down for the real experience to begin. Which it did, promptly. Within moments, we were graciously swarmed by servers offering up an incredible variety: bacon wrapped chicken and filet, Picanha, Fraldinha, lamb, pork sausages, Costela (honestly to-die-for), grilled pineapple, and even queijo com mel drizzled on top. Perfeito. I was completely in my element and so was everyone at the table. The service was outstanding. Rafael, David, and the gentleman carving the gold wrapped steak (yup, I said gold). The entire team operated like a well oiled machine. Parabéns a todo eles.. e parabéns pra nos tambem, haha.

Service was fantastic. They were attentive with refilling our drinks and sides. They even remembered my wife wanted more slightly cooked pieces. We both agreed the picanha or top sirloin was the best. The ambiance was great as we listened to live piano. Volume was louder than most places but you can still talk to your party.

I saw an Instagram ad for half off the rodizio experience on Memorial Day and had to make a…read morereservation. Matt had been talking about Brazilian steakhouse every time he saw something that reminded him remotely of Fogo de Chao, so I figured this opportunity might be of interest to him. Come to find out that the day after I make the reservation he asks if I'd be willing to go a Brazilian steakhouse for the long weekend, so I got to surprise him with the fact that I already had a reservation. I'm not the biggest fan of Fogo de Chao based on my prior experiences there. I do believe that I have been to a Show de Carnes location before and had another great experience, but also Show de Carnes's Memorial Day promotion was slightly better than Fogo's and I much preferred that their location was outside of the city even if on the other side of the bridge. I did have to call the morning of to delay our reservation slightly, but it was taken care of for us without hassle. We even got seated closer to the original reservation time when we ended up running early. There isn't much space to wait in the front lobby area especially on a packed night, but everything looks very upscale from the wine bottles on the wall to the crystals above the self-serve side buffet. As far as mandatory meats, I have a couple of personal rules when it comes to Brazilian steakhouse, including go light on the sides and only go for the beef. Picanha is my favorite, extra rare too, so I made myself a whole pincanha meat salad while probably giving the guy cutting the meat a good scare. The grilled pineapple is also a must, followed by the cheese and honey. Matt got a lot more variety but it takes a while for the guys to come around with meat that has already been sliced up some so I can get to the parts that I like. We got a papaya cream and passion fruit mousse for dessert, which we probably really didn't need but enjoyed thoroughly as we are both dessert people. As it was a busy night, it was not too easy to flag a server down. I saw picanhas skip our table left and right so I'm not sure there's an established route for them to bring the meat around. The staff did seem to work together with great teamwork, and someone always stopped by to make sure we had more water and our choice of sides. I would definitely go back and recommend it to anyone that is a protein or all you can eat fan. The regular price per person is definitely steep in my humble opinion, but if you can catch a promo it'll be a great time. Also, don't choose between still or sparkling, ask for tap. I will not be getting got again next time.
