    This location is always clean, with a good ambiance and space between tables. It can get crowded/…read morebusy during dinner times and weekends but it's such a fun experience so it's worth it. There's a huge salad bar with fruits and even some soup options in the middle: it's ginormous and there's a lot of options!!!! A LOT! The steaks and meats served in the churrasco experience are always tasty. They serve them done differently, so you can always ask for well done, medium, rare, medium rare, and so on. There's also lamb and chicken and the more deluxe experience includes bone marrow and other stuff. If you're feeling stuffed (which good for you for getting your money's worth!) they offer pineapple (as well as glazed pineapple) which had an enzyme that actually helps you feel less stuffed. I loved their picanha which they describe as their house special and the garlic steak! This place is considered expensive, at $49 for the 'full' churrasco experience and $69 for the more premium one. You do have to flag someone down if you feel like you want another cut of steak as sometimes, the same ones keep making their way back to you when you know exactly what you want. But the staff are super courteous and lovely every time we've been here.

    Beware of offerings of shrimp cocktail or shots that seem free but end up on your bill!…read more This has happened a couple times where we're offered the shots or the shrimp cocktail and are not told it costs anything but ends up on the bill for a ridiculously high price. It's quite disrespectful to the customer when we're already spending a lot to be there. In this recent visit, some of the meats that were brought out were medium well or well done as well. Not sure if they were just having an off day but it was disappointing to get a well done filet even though our table asked for medium/medium rare.

    I went here with my wife because we were looking for something different, and we will not be coming…read moreback. When we walked in, the guy behind the counter looked like he didn't want to be there. He had his earbuds in and was watching something on his phone. He also never greeted us and we had to find a menu on our phones, only after we were ordering did he look up and offer us a menu. When looking at the grill behind him, it was coated in tin foil, which looks nasty. If you don't want to clean the grill, then don't be open. We ordered and went to look for a table, and with no one in there, you would think it would be easy to find something, but no, there was dirty trays with half-eaten food on several tables. When we did find a table, it was sticky and I had to wipe it down just to sit there. Once we were sat, we looked at the silverware, and it was all dirty looking and unwrapped in a wooden-looking tray on the table. Also nasty. Our food came out, and it was underwhelming. My breast and wing were the size of my palm but the leg and thigh my wife got was very good looking. The yuca fries were the best thing we got, they were crispy and well cooked. Once we finished out meal, we each went to the restroom and those were NASTY! Water everywhere, the door handles were dirty and sticky, and I didn't want to touch anything in there. We will not be back and have told many of our friends to avoid this place, and I hope this review gets to people so they can avoid it as well.

    The food was pretty good. I really liked the marinade sauce that the chicken is cooked in. They had…read moresome garlic and spicy lime sauce that you could dip your chicken and sides into. I wasn't exactly sure what I was expecting, but the place is very casual. Almost like a Chipotle or regular fast food place. You order your food at the counter, but they do bring it out to you. So the service was okay, but the cashier seemed annoyed with our questions and it was really loud in there so it was hard to hear his responses. I would definitely go back to try the other dishes as take out. The sides were okay, but a bit dry in my opinion. The main thing this restaurant does well is the meat.
