    Very nice Bday dinner for my husband. The meat cuts were good, well-prepared, tasty.. The salad bar was a bit sad, but we were there on a Tuesday, so I wouldn't expect much from a salad bar - I hope it is better / has fresher selections and variety over the weekend. Main attraction (the meats) was great, though. So was the service - attentive but not intrusive, quite pleasant. We also appreciated the complimentary bday dessert - delicious crème brûlée - thank you! Entertaining cocktails :) Nice ambiance for a special occasion or a business dinner.

    First round of steaks, including the best one: filet mignon

    Why 4 stars? Because the overall experience was a good one. --- --- --- 5 stars for the service 4 stars for the buffet of sides 3 stars for the meat For my birthday dinner, I was scouring my bookmarks and ultimately landed on Gauchos Do Sul. It had been a while since we'd been to a Brazilian Steakhouse and they are generally a safe bet to get your money's worth, considering the AYCE nature of these places. I was very impressed with what a well oiled machine the service was. Everyone working here was hustling and efficient. Everything was brought out at such a high rate of speed, we were convinced that there was a hidden camera at our table and a manager barking out commands to his staff. At one point, my wife said, "I wish they had cooked shrimp", and in less than 10 seconds, a guy came by with shrimp on his skewer. The buffet had some hits: the cocktail shrimp, the bacon, the salmon, the corn. Everything else was just okay. If I could go back in time, I would have just gotten those four things and skipped the rest. Not that anything was bad, but stomach space is at a premium here. I will also say that I ordered a coconut caipirinhas and it was amazing. I will definitely be on the lookout for this drink in the future. And shoutout to the bread too - that Brazilian cheese bread is always a hit. But as for the meat... the filet mignon was definitely awesome and the clear star of the show. The rest of it was mostly just okay. Again, with the benefit of hindsight, I would have literally just piled my plate with filet mignon and been quite happy. Maybe add a couple grilled shrimp in there too. Nothing else really stood out though. I disliked the beef ribs because they basically tasted like beef stew meat. And the parmesan pork was aggressively dried out. I am not a lamb person, so I won't hold that against them. If we ever return, I will follow my hindsight advice, but to be honest, I'd probably just opt for a steakhouse next time and experience quality over quantity.

    I've never been to a Brazilian Steak House before but Gauchos Do Sul has placed the bar high! The restaurant's lighting is on the dimmer side and dress code is pretty casual/business casual. There are plenty of tables and seating- private rooms for reservations are located in the back. Restrooms are nice and clean with a classy décor. The soup/salad bar has a variety of different cold cuts, cheese, and veggies. They also have seafood like cocktail shrimp and salmon loxs. Out of everything I got, I really enjoyed their soup (I believe it was lobster bisque), bread, and roasted eggplant. Their appetizers were also fantastic- they had bread with cheese inside (super addicting/dangerous), polenta fries, mashed potatoes, etc. As for the meats, everything was solid. Definitely get their special (Picanha) and the Fraldinha. The other cuts of meat (i.e. ribeye, calf steak, chicken wings) were okay. But their seafood (shrimp and octopus) was a pleasant surprise! Something that I actually could not get enough of was their grilled pineapple. It has cinnamon sugar on top and the sweetness/acidity of the fruit paired very well with some of the fattier cuts of meat. As for dessert, you have an option of either tres leches cake, tiramisu, or churros. I ended up going with the churros which came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The churros were perfectly fried and had a sweet crème filling. Even though I was so full by the time dessert came, the churros and ice cream were so good I ended up eating it all lol. Aside from the delicious food, the service here was fantastic! I appreciate how fast/diligent the servers were for our big group. Aside from making sure our plates were always full of meat, they were very attentive on our waters and taking away dishes that were no longer needed. Overall, my group and I had a fantastic experience here and I look forward to coming back here!

    Located inside vintage park. The restaurant is intimate and a bit less known then their counterpart. The service was great and all their meat selection was delicious! I was thoroughly impressed with my experience there. I definitely would come back here for another special occasion :)

    All I can say is wow Wow WOW! The service here was impressive. From the moment we were seated, the waitstaff were there handling everything. First was the drinks, followed by instructions on how to access the salad bar. The salad bar was unlike anything I have ever seen. There was lobster bisque, large boiled shrimp, every kind of green salad, breads & cheese, and so much more. The salad bar itself is a meal if you want and they sell it as such. They allowed us to bring our own dessert cakes for a celebration we had.

    Menu!

    What a meal! If you do come here, you will need to come hungry. The salad bar was spectacular. There were all kinds of salads, lobster bisque (without any lobster), huge boiled shrimp, and too much else to mention. After I ate there, I told my waitress to change my order, and I'll skip the meat. I was too full. They also allowed us to bring our own cakes. The Brazilian drinks were great. Don't fill up too much on the puffy butter pop up rolls. Yes they are good, but filling.

    Sunday brunch!

    The food here is incredible, of course. My youngest was celebrating her birthday, and she's a carnivore through and through, so here we are, lol. I get the salad bar, which is a huge thing. And, since it's Sunday brunch, there's a made-to-order waffle bar. The staff is so great, this is our go to celebration restaurant.

    Gauchos Do Sul is a traditional Brazilian steakhouse with three Houston-area locations--Vintage Park in Tomball, Highland Village in the Galleria area, and their newest spot in Katy off the Grand Parkway. No matter which one you visit, they're committed to creating a memorable dining experience. They offer the full Brazilian steakhouse tradition: a beautifully stocked gourmet salad bar, delicious hot side dishes, and prime cuts of meat carved tableside. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the team truly treats you like family. The craft cocktails are fantastic, the food is full of flavor, and every visit feels special. On our visit, we enjoyed the beef empanadas and coxinha--both flavorful and perfectly prepared. Service was great, the waitstaff was on point, and even the restrooms were clean and well-kept. Gauchos Do Sul delivers an all-around excellent dining experience every time.

    Ambiance: Brazilian steakhouse in Vintage Park that is nicely decorated with dim lighting, flowers, and upscale rustic touches. The set price includes the salad bar, unlimited cuts of meat, and dessert. The salad bar has amazing options including pasta salad, shrimp, potatoes, wedge salad, asparagus, and more. The wait staff is very fast and accommodating. Once you are ready, you flip your sign to green and very quickly receive various cuts of meats at your table. I enjoyed the prime rib and filet mignon the most! The sliced pineapple was also very good. For the price, the food is amazing quality and you will leave incredibly full/satisfied! Parking onsite in Vintage Park. Walking distance to other shops/bars/restaurants. Friendly staff. We went on Valentine's Day so it was quite crowded but we could tell they were doing a good job at managing many tables.

    Really good all you can eat steak I especially recommend the bottom sirloin, they also had these things called jalapeño poppers, as well as shrimp. Although I will say it is really expensive it's $67.50 per person so this is a once in a while when I've saved up type of occasion. The staff were really nice and very attentive and the restaurant was well maintained and very high class. (dress nice.)

    If you're looking for a great Churrasco experience closer to the Northwest side of town, look no more. This place has it all For $65/person (dinner and weekend price), you get an all you can eat experience. The service was friendly and group style , so several servers will come to your table. You get Brazilian bread as a starter & you can request the other hot appetizers that come with the buffet (rice, black beans, masked potatoes, and fried polenta) that are bright to the table. All other accompaniments are at the buffet. There are a variety of salads, veggies, cheeses, fruits, and some hot potatoes and plantains. There is so much to choose from. Make sure to leave room for the meats which are brought and carved onto your plate by the gauchos who bring them on skewers. Just absolutely delicious.

    This photo is just for laughs, unsweetened ice tea for a Brazilian BBQ...made me laugh, so I'm sharing. The unseen food was excellent.

    I was in the area for only one night, for there late afternoon and did not plan anything, so I roamed to find something to eat. And I found A LOT to eat. I walked by a few restaurant in this large shopping center, and this place actually looked closed. I asked a mall employee I saw walking around about good places to eat steak, I'm in Texas after all, and after a short interrogation season I realized this place was open. To make a tasty story short, it was great, pricy, but excellent quality food, great service, meat kept in coming, and all the extras and salad bar were great. To summarize, I ate too much. Come hungry.

    Words won't do this place justice it stands up to it's reputation. Food, ambiance and service all scream upper echelon.

    I've heard good things- I would really like to go within the next couple of weeks- but I'm wondering exactly how all of it works. Is it buffet style, or a traditional dining experience?

    They have a small buffet with the usual things like soup, salad, small finger foods but for the most part, you have the waiters coming to the table every couple of minutes cutting meat for you and filling up your glasses.

    How much for lunch? Any group discount on weekdays?

    Is it reservation only?

    No, reservations are not required

    Do kids eat free?

Located in River Oaks area, very elegant classy decor, a great interior to celebrate any special occasion. Service was good, no complaints there. Food however, was not up to par. Not worth the price. I ordered the Filet mignon and it was good but Perry's steak is better flavor wise. The sides were the most disappointing of all. The whipped Boursin potatoes are almost identical to boxed mashed potatoes. The macaroni and cheese was identical to boxed or velveeta. The red velvet dessert was ok, a bit too sweet and seems more like the frozen chocolate lava cakes you except red velvet. I couldn't believe it, I never thought I would have this kind of review but it is the honest truth. I will not be back here. It is not worth the hype.

    My first time here was fantastic!…read more I got the beef wellington, a baked potato, and calamari. Beef wellington was cooked to perfection. The puff pastry was flaky, steak had good flavor, and the sauce paired perfectly. Calamari was standard. The ambiance was formal and very Texas forward. Great spot for a nice date night. Everything was a 10/10. My second time here was just alright. It might have also had to do with the fact that I went during Houston Restaurant Week and got one of their specials. However, the quality and service was just very different. Steak was ordered medium rare and came extremely rare. When we sent it back, they cooked it well done. Nevertheless, I would give it another try and recommend going outside of HRW. 8/10!

So imagine my disappointment when my beautifully cooked steak came finished with olive oil. Thankfully not much but enough to make me immediately say 'ughhhh'. You don't need oils to enhance beef!!!

It was a ball of ice cream baked Alaskan style with basically no pecans. Just some odd cookie pieces in it. Had they kept the steak plan I would say this was the best steak in Houston I've had so far but I can't even say that. Sides didn't save it. Service was fine.
