Updated review - have made multiple visits since they opened. Food is still wonderful here. The pasta dishes and appetizers get me filled up before the chicken or the picanha show up. Dessert trio is always something to look forward to. This time came on Valentine's Day and I will say that we felt a bit rushed as far as service goes. It felt like they were a bit too eager to get folks in and out. Regardless will return again. read more

Came here for a holiday luncheon/gift exchange and we all had an amazing time! It's easy to park, we were seated immediately, and the customer service was great! It's an all you can eat style for a set price of $39.99 - you can also order any drinks you may like. I ordered a strawberry caipirinha and it was delicious! For food, we started with bread with multiple dips, salad, and chicken soup - that transitioned to the various meats (chicken, steak) and pastas. I really enjoyed the traditional chicken and bolognese pasta - they were my favorites! We ended it off with multiple desserts and I liked the fudge mousse. Overall, it was a good experience especially if you're able to eat a lot of food! Try it out! read more

LOVE IT! Went for Mother's Day and it was the best pick! Food was so good and so fresh. The waiters were so attentive and literally provided the best ambiance! The desserts were the best part!!!!!! But really everything was good and worthy the price just be ready to eat! read more

Found this place from Strictly Dumpling YouTube blog and decided to take a long drive from Mansfield. This was such a unique concept for a churriscaria and fresh Italian. The food was amazing and just kept coming. I was so engrossed with the food I forgot to take pictures of the meat and pastas we had. All of the food including the desserts are phenomenal. My favorite meat was the flamed grilled taste of the piccana and the 12 hr Charcoal chicken. The food was fresh and we love the house made pastas. The flan was some of the best we've had around and the dense texture is exactly how I like my flan. We had two orders of the flan and the passionfruit mousse. The service was impeccable and we definitely plan to drive the hour again soon. read more

All you can eat Italian and Brazilian dishes. Everything including the bread is homemade. It was such a fun experience. It's a different assortment than the typical Brazilian steakhouses but really unique and delicious! read more

Five star experience very attentive & kind staff. So much food! It's too bad our other server slipped & fell, so he had to leave to attend to his injury. Please invest in some nonslip rug runners for the safety of your workers & patrons. read more

I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but the concept seemed interesting, so we stopped by for an early dinner. The inside is elegant but warm. The staff immediately greeted us and brought us to our table, then described their concept. It is basically like a Brazilian Churrascaria, but with a focus on roasted chicken and pasta. The first course consisted of fresh bread with three spreads and a chicken broth with capeletti. The bread was delicious and all three spreads were good, the soup was nice as well. The second course had a meatball, chicken drumsticks, salad, fried pepper jack, grilled cheese with honey, polenta, and potato salad. The drumsticks sticks were crispy and perfectly seasoned, maybe my favorite of the while meal! Sooooo good. The rest was good, too but not super memorable. The main course were chicken quarters (traditional, with parmesan, with piri piri sauce) and picanha (regular and garlic). The spicy peri peri chicken was my favorite, so flavorful! Then the picanha, it's not a thin slice as you.get at Brazilian steak houses, but basically half a steak. It was cooked perfectly, clearly over an open fire, and seasoned well. Fantastic! I didn't try the garlic, because I'm sensitive to too much of it, but my son loved it. Then we got the pasta (with chicken, 4 cheese, with guava and 4 cheese, bolognese, with buttersquash). All were good, but my favorite were the bolognese and the 4 cheese. Finally, for dessert they had chocolate mousse, flan, and a passion fruit cream. We tried all of them and my favorite was the passion fruit cream. YUM. The kicker to all of this is that you.can ha e as much of any of the courses as you like, so come hungry. I want to once more mention how nice and attentive service was. We will definitely be back (but gotta starve myself before, lol). read more

Casa Pollastro is amazing! From the moment I walked in, Julia gave such a warm welcome, the decor was so inviting, and everyone there was so kind and attentive. Patricio took excellent care of me the whole time, always checking in, offering great suggestions, and making sure everything was perfect. The food was incredible, and I loved getting to try so many different dishes. The meats were especially flavorful and delicious, and the Brazilian limeade was so refreshing. Great food, wonderful staff, and such a good experience overall. Highly recommend!!! I can't wait to come back with family and friends! read more

We decided to try this reading after reading the reviews. It's Brazillian and Italian. They serve you bread, appetizer, salad and soup before they start offering the meats. Appetizers was good especially the grilled cheese with honey & fried pollenta ( ithink) . The soup was pretty good too. I enjoyed the pasta selection. I like how they give you small portions so I was able to taste everything and not get too full on carbs. I especially like the 4 cheese pasta. The meat served was just okay. Picanha was tough despite us having it medium rare. Not too much option on the meats. We knew that going in but to have the the Picanha tough is just sad. The Fraldinha was okay. Overall, the quality did not satisfy us. We are more meat lovers than pasta lovers. The desserts, the flan and passion fruit were okay. The red wine with tapioca pearls I will avoid next time. Service and Ambiance was good. read more

My wife recommended this place. This place is an all you can eat, but they come and serve you the food. We ended up eating all of the menu items, but just remember it is just a taste test of most. Here is what you are served first 1. Bread with three spreads (herb butter, sun-dried tomato and eggplant tapenade 2. Sopa de Capeletti - chicken broth soup with some food that looks like tortellini 3. Salad Arrangement - wanted more of this 4. Potato Salad - I enjoyed this 5. Queijo Assado com Mel - cheese with honey - this one was alright, they took this one away fast before we finished 6. Polenta frita - definitely like 7. Bolinha de Queijo - fried pepper jack cheese - eat this when hot, but not cold 8. Half of a chicken - dark meat was moist, but the white meat was dry After all of these eight are served, the servers will have a bowl of pasta or a meat platter. 1. Guava Ravioli - this is one of my favorite, but sometimes they undercooked it as it was hard 2. Picanha - this one the meat is dry and tough would not recommend 3. Fraldinha - this one was cooked to perfection 4. Maccheroni al Rose Bolognese - this one was alright 5. Garlic chicken - this one is very salty 6. Spaghetti ai Quattro formaggi - would recommend, but I ended up getting full 7. Butternut squash ravioli - would recommend this one Dessert I ended up trying all four of them 1. Sagu com Creme - tapioca with the red wine, make sure you ask for this one 2. Mousse de Maracuja - mousse with passion fruit - this is very sour so if you do not like sour do not get this on 3. Brazilian flan- this one is good 4. Moouse de Chocolate - this one is alright The service was top notched that I over tip them. It was an all you can eat for $35 dollars which is definitely worth the money. Would come back here again. read more

This place is spacious, clean and organized. The staff is also amazingly friendly and welcoming. However, the food was underwhelming. The steaks were dry and none of their pastas were good. I did like some of their appetizers and desserts but other than that, I think this place was a-okay. read more

We drive all the way from Austin just to eat here - that's how good they are. Service is top notch, they are so attentive all the time. Huge kudos to Marcelo who made our night extra special. Can't even describe how amazing the food is - from the little appetizers (fried cheese, polenta, sopa de capeletti, bread, potato salad), to the main courses... pastas were always my favorite but now I am addicted to their "galeto" (marinated chicken) which is legit from heaven! I dare to say their galeto is better than what we eat when we are in Brazil. We will continue to drive 3 hours to just eat here because this place is amazing! read more

Amazing food get the passionfruit dessert you won't regret it!. Service was great, excellent menu and quick service.

2.5/5 rounded up I found this place on TikTok and was intrigued by it. All you can eat Brazilian food. Now, I've been to a couple of AYCE places so I know how it works. This place turned out to be quite different from the typical experience. The interior is decorated nicely. Seems very upscale. They serve you everything in order on the menu. If you do not like what you got, then you may decline the next time. I did not really like how you can't order straight up what you want, but instead had to wait for them to bring out the next item on the menu. Out of all the items on the menu, only about two to three things stood out as genuinely good. The rest were either underwhelming or just not to my taste. For a place with such elegant presentation, the flavors didn't quite match the ambiance. The biggest issue I had with this place was with the mocktail. Our server specifically told us that we could each enjoy one complimentary mocktail, so we decided to order one to try. However, when the bill arrived, we noticed we were charged for it anyway. Final verdict: While the concept seemed interesting and the interior was aesthetically pleasing, the overall experience didn't live up to the hype. Between the rigid menu structure, mediocre food, and miscommunication around pricing, I don't see myself returning. read more

We were staying at a hotel close by for work and saw Casa Pollastro on Yelps Top New Restaurants of 2024! We made a reservation for 15 online, then I called later to update it to 20..but if you have ever traveled with people from work and what it's like to try to make dinner plans, you'll understand that the number changes up until the last minute! So about 15 minutes before our reservation, I called again to update our reservation to 15! They were so friendly and so accommodating each time! Even when we walked in they were there to greet us with big smiles and sat us at our table that was set up and ready for us. The food was great!! The pasta was just okay, and the chicken was a little too salty...but everything else was so delicious and all 15 of us were raving about how great it was!! It is not your traditional rodizio...they do come around with the pasta, and 2 meats...but I was so happy that the picanha was cut in steak bites, every one of them was cooked perfectly and so so delicious! They have booths and a small room, plenty of tables and the ability to host big groups!! It was so nice! read more

OMG!!!!! This place is good, but make sure you pace yourself because the courses are endless the soup course the salad course, the appetizers course not to mention three types of chicken and the five pastas oh and two types of steak all of this for drumroll please only 35 bucks!!!! It's hard to be the meal this fresh for this price homemade pasta, fresh grilled chicken and all the amazing appetizers. I've been more than once and I'm looking forward to going more than twice. read more

This is a buffet-style restaurant with a limited menu. For four people, the total came to $150, not including drinks. If you don't care much about seasoning or how the dishes pair together, and you're okay with a flat fee plus the cost of drinks, then this is the place for you. Among all the menu options, the Tortellini soup, chicken, and bread with tomato paste are good. Most of the other options are heavy and don't complement each other well. They serve what they call samples, and you can repeat items you like. The food is served quickly, the service is friendly, and the place is clean. read more

I love the concept! So much food and for a great price. Food was good, and each course came quickly after the other. The only real negative was that they sat us and told us who our server would be, but then no one actually came by to take our drink order. We had to flag someone down to order drinks. But outside of that, it's great. Very clean and upscale decor. Decent for families/kids, as long as your kids are well behaved and enjoy new and interesting foods. read more

Casa Pollastro serves cuisine with an Italian and Southern Brazilian influence. The interior is newly remodeled within the last two years and nicely finished The staff are friendly, competent and clearly enjoy working there. They encourage ordering Brazilian, all you can eat for one price, but also serve a-la-carte. I sat at the bar and ordered a salad, chicken and a caipirinha a-la-carte. All were fresh and delicious. The bartender, Isadora, makes an excellent caipirinha! I like this place and have returned a couple of times. Its a good place to go with a group if you enjoy the all you can eat style if service. It a good deal if you are into that. The a la carte pricing is expensive, and they dont have happy hour pricing. For someone like me who wants to drop by alone, it gets expensive.. for example: two drinks and a (very) small salad ends up costing me more than $50 with tip. read more

This was a great experience. I was thinking it was going to be buffet format. However, it was more of a sit down dinner setting, where they bring out everything on the menu and you can ask for more. We had 4 people, and they were about to bring 2 sets of everything, but we asked for them to just bring 1 and it was filling already! The tortellini soup was delicious and we loved the appetizers. The chicken was mid, but pretty juicy. The pasta was underwhelming. But we left pretty full and content. The desserts were the show stopper! Loved everything! read more

I didn't know what to expect of this Brazilian AYCE restaurant, but it definitely was different from other Brazilian steakhouses. First, it's not a Steakhouse. They mainly offer chicken and pastas. All the chickens were the same cut with different sauces. I thought all of the chicken were too dry. My favorite pasta was the butternut squash. I could not eat more than a bite of the guava pasta because the combination of sweet and savory was odd. Our favorite part was the desserts. We enjoyed the passionfruit dessert and flan. The service was great. Our server told us he would take care of us since we were first timers. He basically brought out every side and appetizer. Several servers brought out servings of pastas and chicken. You can say yay or nay to them. Make sure to ask for what you want because not everything was offered. read more

Five of us are here last Saturday night and it was a great experience. Word of advice, be hungry when you eat here. They bring everything on the menu to your table and it's all you can eat. It is four courses and each course has multiple dishes. Don't skip the soup! The little dumplings are amazing. The fried polenta, fried pepper jack, and the dips for the bread were all delicious. The butternut squash ravioli was delicious along with the four cheese pasta. I'd advise you to skip the guava and cheese ravioli. The two tastes didn't go well together. The sirloin steak was tender and delicious. The other steak was really good taste wise, but it was very tough. All the chicken dishes were excellent. There were extra things that weren't on the menu like meatballs and chicken lasagna. The meatballs were really tasty. I didn't have the chicken lasagna because I was trying to save room for dessert. All of the desserts were fabulous! If there is something you want more of they will bring more because it's all you can eat. The only other criticism I would have is the cocktails, they are very small. I wouldn't waste money on them again. I highly recommend this restaurant. The best part is that it's only $35.99. It's a real bargain. read more

Casa Pollastro - Brazilian Flan - Brazilian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

First time at Casa Pollastro, and I walked in with zero expectations--just wanted to see what the hype was about. Right off the bat, we were greeted by (I think) the owner himself, who was not only welcoming but also ended up being our server. Solid first impression. The vibe, Nice. The bathrooms, Ehh... could use some work. Not sure if it was the pipes or something else, but there was a noticeable smell. Now, onto the food... it's a Brazilian-style, all-you-can-eat experience, so they keep the courses coming. Soup: A warm start with tortellinis. Simple but good. Bread: Freshly baked and delicious. No complaints here. Appetizers: A solid spread--cheese with touch of honey , a really good potato salad, tasty cheese balls, and a few dipping sauces (eggplant, garlic butter, and one I can't quite remember). Chicken: The star of the show. Various rotisserie-style cuts, with most being juicy and flavorful except the breast, which was on the dry side. Meats: Picanha and i think was fajitas; decent, but nothing mind-blowing. The quality was okay, but I've had better. Pasta: Just... okay. Not bad, not great. Desserts: chocolate mousse was good, flan was ok and the passion fruit was fresh but the cream heavy, but okay For $39.99, it's definitely a lot of food, and if you love chicken and an endless feast, this place will hit the spot. read more

Great AYCE spot for just $35 pp. You start with some soup and appetizers that include bread, grilled cheese in honey, salad, cheese balls, and more. Then they come around serving 5 different pasta dishes, 3 different styles of chicken, and 2 different steak cuts. Throughout your meal they come around multiple times so you can get as much or as little as you want. We did get a bit overwhelmed by how quickly they were coming out with the courses. My favorite was the passion fruit mousse we got for dessert. If I hadn't been so full I would've gotten another order of that. Make sure to come hungry because you'll be getting a loooot of food. read more

It's the last day of 2025 and it's date night so I decided to end the year by taking Mother of Cashew to Casa. This would be the second time I visit and I was looking forward to the non-stop food train. This place either takes reservation or walk-ins depending of the size of your party. The restaurant is located in an awkward place along a frontage road and the parking slots are limited so be aware of this. When you enter you need to check in at the front area and then you will be seated by the host. This place is set up similar to a Brazilian Steakhouse. There is one set price and drinks have an additional price. Their bathrooms are located as you enter and are very clean. Your server will bring soup, bread, salad, chicken wings and sides (all this is all you can eat). Next your server will deliver different pastas, ravioli, spicy chicken, chicken, picaña, and etc. The servers will add food to you from their bowl or plates from the kitchen. Finally, you are brought mango desert, flan and chocolate suffle. Our server effectively took care of us. He could have been a more inquisitive of what we needed. The food was flavorful and worth the price ($77 for two only drinking water). I recommend this place just be aware of those minor obstacles. read more

This place is beyond amazing! Don't do the al cart; just go for the full courses. You won't regret it. Bread with fun butter, salad and cheese balls, then comes the pasta course and the meat.

Oh wow!!! Where do I even start? This Italian Brazilian restaurant is amazing! I found out about it on Instagram and couldn't believe that they had all you can eat for $35 with tons of food including pasta, steak, chicken, salad, and dessert. (lunch is $20!) I heard it was a four-course meal so I thought we would order one of each category, but the servers actually bring out EVERYTHING on the menu and I'm not complaining. They serve a little of each of the main courses so it's nice to be able to taste everything. The only thing I wish I had done differently was bring more people! I was so stuffed, I couldn't finish some of the food, sadly. My favorites are the butternut squash and guava ravioli. Love the sweet filling. I was also impressed with the different sauces they had for the bread. The food comes so quickly that at the end you'll see a FULL table of food. They clear everything at the end for dessert. You can add filet mignon or lamb chop for extra but everything else is included. I also didn't make a reservation and just walked in but was able to get seated with my bf within a minute during New Year's Eve. This was my first time having all you can eat but I don't have to get up from my seat! The server is so friendly and checked on us regularly. He also called me milady, which made me feel special haha. Some of the servers don't speak English well, but they understand if you want more or less of a dish. Definitely will be back when I'm in town and ready for my next feast! read more

The food was exceptional! My husband and I heard about this restaurant from a coworker an had to try it out. We went on a Saturday afternoon right when they opened their doors. The atmosphere was amazing and I loved the music that set the mood in the room. The waiters were friendly and very encouraging to try every dish. The flavor or each item was made to perfection. And the price? I think it's a deal! We've been to other Brazilian restaurants and this one was our favorite! We loved the concept of Brazilian steakhouse with Italian pasta. Match made in heaven! I ate so much food that I took a fat nap afterwards. We are definitely going there again! read more

This place was a really cool experience. It's exactly what it describes, the Brazilian Gaucho experience, the Italian way. Imagine Fogo De Chao but pasta. The food was SO good! You start off with some bread, I recommend one slice, don't fill up on this. Next, they bring out the soup, my kids loved it. Then a salad and this was also very good. THEN...OH MY GAHHH, all the food comes around. The roasted chicken is to die for. The ravioli, the different types of spaghetti, everything they brought out was amazing. Their service was top notch. I'm not sure if he was the owner, but he was one of people bringing food out and he was so thorough in explaining what each thing was and encouraging us to at least taste it. The restaurant was mediocre. It had tons of space but the decor was just okay. We are already planning our next trip there. Highly recommend and the price was very reasonable. read more

We have wanted to try this place since it opened. We finally got around to trying it Friday night. We arrived at 6:00 and there were two other tables occupied, which I thought was odd given the day and time and for a restaurant with such high ratings on yelp. We really wanted to like this place since it's close to us and we like supporting local businesses. I'm sorry to say we did not enjoy 90% of what they served. The good: our waiter was very good. He was attentive and checked in on us frequently. The bread was hot and the spreads that came with it were good. For us, that was the best part of the meal. The appetizers were ok, but nothing special. The chicken base broth with tortellini and fried polenta were both pretty good. The chicken was also ok, but nothing I really enjoyed and would order again. The bad: all the pastas were under cooked and served warm and very disappointing. The picanha was so salty it was almost inedible. The chicken soup had chicken skin and knuckle in it, which ruined what could have been an ok soup. For my wife and I, the overall quality of the food did not live up to the hype. I'm sure other folks have had a different experience than we did. I could say that maybe we caught them on an off night. But the entire meal was below average and we will not be back. read more

The concept of this Brazilian restaurant is really cool with top notch food and service. This was my first time here and thoroughly enjoyed the overall experience. The ambiance is really nice and can be a great spot for all occasions. Plenty of parking available. Food is served in courses and you can ask for a repeat if your favorite items. The appetizers were excellent and the fried polenta was a total treat. The soup and salad are a good starting point followed by the roasted chicken (spicy & regular). The different pasta sides were really good too. The spicy chicken was not my personal favorite (only reason for the 4 stars). Good selection of wines and cocktails to choose from. Tried the Brazilian lemonade and highly recommend it. Do save room to try the different desserts. The passion fruit mousse was a winner! Service deserved 10 stars!!! Prompt, friendly and excellent service. Jade deserves a raise! Pricing : It's a flat rate per person for the food, which is reasonable. Will I return? : For sure! Definitely give this restaurant a try. read more

Every aspect of this fine establishment can be summed up as WOW!!!!! It was my first time here and was with the group of seven for a Yelp UYE (Thanks Marianne C. !) It is easy to find, easy to get in and out, and has plenty of parking. When you walk in, that is the first WOW! You are greeted by a fabulous full wall water feature! Then you realize there is a very professional and friendly hostess who will make you feel very welcomed! (Plus, she eagerly took our group shot photo a couple of times in front of the water feature!) The next WOW was the server, Jade. I've eaten at many exquisite establishments all over the planet. A good server is important to the experience. An exceptionally gifted one puts the dining experience over the top, and that is Jade. Immaculately dressed, smart, constant sly smile, witty, personable to all personality types, and the perfect well-rounded guide to a Brazilian dining epicurean adventure! Jade led us through multiple options, guided us through our selections, planned the table space, and made sure our bellies and taste buds were thrilled! Then there is the drink WOW! I ordered a Brazilian Lemonade (Swiss Lemonade). Perfect sweetness, tartness, texture, and taste! It's the best one I've ever had! Jade told us it was the best and she was right! The HUGE WOW! was the food. Jade introduced the Casa Pollastro flavors to all of us. The family style, 4 course meal is the perfect way to go! We opted to just stay with the chicken. It began with fresh baked bread with herb butter, sun-dried tomato pate, and eggplant tapenade. My favorite was the sun-dried tomato pate. Then it was Sopa de Capeletti, a chicken broth soup with cheese filled capeletti, which was quite good! The Salad Course Salad Course consisted of a mixed green salad, potato salad, Queijo Assado com Mel (Brazilian queijo coalho & honey - also known as grilling cheese. Add a touch of honey, and it has a texture I love to bite. Absolutely my favorite!), Polenta Frita (fried polenta, w/grated parmesan - a group favorite), Bolinha de Queijo (fried pepper jack cheese), and Polenta Brustolada (grilled polenta). We did ask for seconds of most of these. The Main Course Galetos (Chicken) came as 3 options: Traditional (12 hour marinade, charcoal grilled), Parmesan Crusted (traditional galeto with parmesan) and Piri Piri (traditional galeto brushed with very spicy "piri-piri" sauce.) One in our party wanted more heat and they provided a fiery sauce. I had the Traditional, and that was the most tender and moist chicken I've ever had with a superb delicate flavor! Another WOW! The second half of the Main Course included Pasta: Charcoal Ravioli de Abóbora (butternut squash, sun-dried tomato sauce), Ravioli de Goiabada ( guava, quattro formaggi sauce - WOW!), Canelone (rolled pasta with provolone, turkey breast, and mozzarella), Maccheroni al Rose Bolognese (veal, beef, pomodoro, quattro formaggi - another of my favorites), Spaghetti ai Quattro Formaggi (mozzarella, gouda, parmesan, gorgonzola), and Trecce da Marcella (jalapeno, poblano bechamel - Excellent flavors with a slight tongue tingle of spice, very good!). I had to hold myself back on seconds as I could have had 4ths of all! The Ravioli de Goiabada was just silly good! And then the grand finale - Desserts! Another WOW! Sagu com Creme (Tapioca orbs reduction in red wine with hints of clove and cinnamon, topped with creme anglaise - the most beautiful of the desserts), Brazilian Flan (flan, w/fresh fruit and whipped cream), Mousse de Chocolate (chocolate mousse - REALLY GOOD!), Mousse de Maracuja (passion fruit mousse topped with passion fruit seeds - WOW!! My new favorite dessert! Close your eyes as you slip the spoon in your mouth and feel your tongue go wild with the sweet, tart, tangy, and smooth creaminess! Besides, saying Maracuja (Maracuya) tickles my tongue, too!) Price was a steal for the service, ambiance, and exceptional taste and quality of the food, the final WOW! read more
