1. Service - excellent wait staff. We felt very welcomed and the team were super attentive. Our first visit was on Thanksgiving! When you come in, check in with the host, wait to be seated, order and pay at the table. 2. Price - $63.50/person, and if you want to opt out of the meat, you can pay $39.50 for unlimited salad bar. 3. Ambiance - lighting is warm and dimly lit. The place is cozy and rustic, natural light during the day, leather chairs, and upscale feel. Dress code is business casual. This is a great place for a date, and spending time with family. 4. Food - amazing selection of meat. If you're a meat lover, you'll love this churrascaria restaurant. They have beef, pork, chicken, lamb, and shrimp. They have a salad bar also with all kinds of veggies and soup as well. 5. Cleanliness - Top notch cleanliness for tables, floors, and restrooms. SUMMARY I highly recommend this place. It's not an everyday occasion for us, but every time we go, it's worth every penny and the experience is phenomenal. read more

First-No dress code or not enforced. I've seen people better dressed at McDonalds. Not a winner for the quality they think they represent. Second- Service was terrible. Constantly had servers pass me by when I had a green card showing. Third- Automatic 20% tip charge on your bill. Learn better customer service and not giving the customer to leave a tip percentage based on service quality is real tacky and low class. I will never dine here again and I highly recommend to stay clear of this place unless you already expect the above. read more

Went in for lunch today with husband, everything was just as expected. Service was exceptional, everyone kept checking up on us and tending to our needs. It was nice the staff serving meats to us took care and didn't spill on us (another Brazilian steakhouse kept dripping/splashing meat juices on us), and our server even served us the sides on our plate (even though I could've done it myself... the gesture was nice). Ambiance is perfect for date night or for what we wanted, a good meal with great service. Certain selections you have to request for, but they always deliver. Highly recommend to request sautéed onions & jalapeños! Perfect side with the meats! read more

Gauchos Do Sul - Menu - Brazilian Near Me - Katy, Texas

We decided to celebrate our anniversary at Gauchos, and what an incredible experience it turned out to be! While the salad bar was fresh and plentiful and the steaks varied (some absolutely outstanding), what truly stood out was the exceptional service. I genuinely can't stop thinking about it! From the moment we sat down, everything was seamless and the bread appeared on our table instantly, and when we stepped away for just a minute to check out the salad bar, our iced teas were already waiting when we returned. The servers were so attentive that our drinks were constantly refilled and the meats kept coming without us ever having to ask. Every detail was handled so quickly and efficiently, it felt effortless. Truly impressed by the staff! The restaurant is only about 10 minutes away, which makes it even better AND we can't wait to return and bring our family next time. Chama Gaucha used to be our go-to, but honestly, this place checks all the boxes especially the short distance. The dessert was a bit underwhelming, but everything else was simply exceptional. read more

I really wanted to love Gauchos Do Sol and while the service was absolutely stellar, we were waited on hand and foot, the food just didn't match up. The Brazilian lemonade was AMAZING, but the meats were a big letdown. Out of all the many options,, only two meats stood out as good, while the rest, including the lamb chops, lacked flavor. It honestly felt like I was eating air food. The salad bar was just a little better, but still nothing to rave about. With this price point, I truly expected more. Unfortunately, I'm 100% sure I won't be back. read more

Go hungry! I had the pleasure of enjoying dinner here with some friends. Once the green card is up and the salad bar has been visited the food is non stop. I felt like people were coming from every direction every minute with new food to try. The meat is delicious, seasoned and prepared well. My favorites were the grilled pineapple, the salad bar options and the lamb chops. I didn't get to try the shrimp but it looked delicious. When you're full or just need a break flip your card from green to red. They have an extensive wine menu. A variety of cocktails and appetite options Plenty of parking options, great location with friendly and efficient staff. read more

Everything was perfect. I wish I could give them 6 stars. All the usual meat suspects, perfectly prepared and presented. They even have fire roasted pineapple and bacon wrapped Scallops. Excellent first course bar. The lobster bisque was excellent. Many such Brazilian places seem to have skinned down their fare but not this one. Their wine and cocktail selection is great. 5 star restaurant service. Everyone was so sweet. Waiters even pulled out chairs to help seat their guests. Super attentive service. Robber baron level. We felt extremely well treated. read more

They want you to make sure you get what you want. The ambiance is more upscale, warm, and inviting.

Gauchos Do Sul - Brazilian Near Me - Katy, Texas

Gauchos had been on our list of must try restaurants so we were very excited about our visit. The place is beautiful and our reservation time was perfect as there was still not a lot of people inside dining or waiting. We very seated immediately. We had the worst service. Our server was not friendly and rather dry but the worst part, he would forget absolutely everything. We had to continuously flag him down and ask for things multiple times. I asked twice for my coke zero after our table had received cocktails. They bring cheese bread which was delicious and we had to ask four times for a second basket, I repeat four times because our server would simply not bring it. We had to ask other servers for things such as new plates, beverages and of course the cheese bread. We love a great steak and found this was not the right place for good quality and great tasting steak. The meats were not flavorful and surprisingly not as many options as we were expecting. The medium cuts were overcooked. The salad bar was okay but not as many options as other places with salad bars. What I enjoyed the most here we're items from the salad bar such as the blue cheese and lobster bisque. Pretty pricey dinner for blue cheese and lobster bisque. If you just want to stuff yourself with all you can eat meat this is your place, the price will be worth it. If you care about the quality and taste of your meat, for the price there are plenty of steakhouses in Houston. The service could have helped our experience a little but we did not even enjoy that. We won't be returning. read more

The woman's bathroom smells HORRIBLE and then there's a thick layer of fragrance smell attempting to cover it up. The service was nice but awkward because multiple different servers kept coming up to the table after we already told them we were fine. The food was 6/10 (for the price I expected better) and slightly unrelated the manager that came to the table breath smelt horrible. This was my second attempt to come and the quality of the experience was the same. read more

If I did not review this Restaurant, that is a great mistake for me and further it is as if I have breached my contract with fellow yelpers. First, let me tell you the service in this restaurant is simply wonderful. As busy as it was, the waiter was accommodating Explain things and whatever level of detail we needed in order to make wise selections the food I cannot say enough good about. Not just the variety, but the fact that the servers who carve meat and/or fish at your table and serve it to you recall what it is you're looking for and make it a point to bring it back to your table. The salad bar is incredible. That alone could be a meal. Let me address the ambience which is quite nice more than adequate room amongst diners, and I must make a note about the manager, who was very active, I saw her busing tables, she addressed the wine that we had ordered and made recommendations for other wine. This restaurant is extremely well managed, which is probably why the experience was as great as it was. Do not miss it. You would be making a mistake. It is absolutely a lovely milieu and well worth a visit read more

This is the new Kitty location. It's quite different to me and my opinion of the one that they have on Westheimer this one's a little more slower and laid-back. The food seems to be a little different tasting to me and it seems like they don't have as much for the Vegetarian/salad bar side for those that aren't into eating a lot of meat. I'd rather go to the other location when you go to this restaurant, it's like everyone is walking around on eggshells and they're scared of management speaking to management. Seems difficult to communicate with them as well. read more

Best Brazilian steakhouse in Katy area. Equally as good as Chama Gaucha. Service is great. Salad bar is delicious and I think it's way better than Fogo read more

Me and wife had to try this establishment. The outside of the restaurant is amazing but once you enter it decorated beautifully. We were sat out table it was a little dark but the ambience was great. The waiting staff was excellent, our guy was on it and many others also. The salad spread was amazing lots of great foods to choose from but don't eat too much roughages, leave room some protein. I didn't have to flip my indicator for meat they swarmed us with delicious meats. I really enjoyed the ribeye and picanha steak . We left there full! A little pricey but worth it. The only hiccup I had, was the waiter asked if I wanted desserts but was too full. Instead I asked for a coffee to settle the meat. I had already paid my bill and was charged for the coffee. Come on folks, you guys can't be this stingy. Anyways will definitely return to this establishment. You can figure roughly $100 per person. read more

This was my first time coming to this Brazilian steakhouse, and my friends and I came to try the HRW menu. The salad bar was great and the meats were all so delicious. But my favorite part was the dessert! Thankfully there were 3 of us so we tried each of them and I cannot even tell you which one was my favorite because they all were spectacular. Definitely recommend trying this place out! read more

A perfect place to celebrate!!!! We just finished celebrating my daughter 18th Birthday here and I must say I made the best decision picking this beautiful place for this special occasion. The restaurant accommodated a private room for our party of 18. The host walked us into the room, and we were met by our energetic, friendly waiter Marvin and manager Omar. Both Marvin and manager Omar went above and beyond to make sure everyone receives exceptional service. We were all very satisfied with the quality of our drinks, salad bar and best of all flavorful meats. Thank you Gauchos Do Sul (Katy Location) for making this beautiful evening extra special for our family and friends. read more

Gauchos Do Sul - Brazilian Near Me - Katy, Texas

Me and my family went out to try the katy branch of guachos for we always go to the one at the vintage, since the vintage is a good restaurant we decided to try out the katy one. We had reservation and everything for we are about to celebrate my sister's birthday. As soon as we go there the atmosphere for us was already kinda off, the host greeted us with frown on her face and awkwardly sat us down on our table, which we didnt mind since they are probably busy. We continued with our dinner, everything was smooth but my mom (who doesnt eat any pink on her meat) only asks for well done. At first we asked for it, they were already kinda judging my mom which I thought was a joke but the servers tone was very insulting. They still went ahead and try to get it but, it took forever to come. We asked for 5 different meats to get well done but only 1 came. Then whenever we try to follow up the meats they would say "It's coming" but never did. Another thing is when they were giving us the ribeye, We were telling the server who is cutting the meat just a little bit and he kept giving us these huge slices. This didnt just happened once or twice but it happened for the whole table where in everybody says "just a little bit". My brother in law even said "thats good enough" and the server had the audacity to say "Oh but I already cut it" as if its my brother in law's fault?? then he still went on to give the meat as well. I requested some stuff too like the pineapple and I had to request it 3 times and they already took our plates, so it never came We didn't wanna ruin our night so we went ahead and just asked for the bill. I love giving tips since I myself works in a customer service industry as well. I know all the hard work they have done, but 20% ADDED GRATUITY for our bill is not up to par with our experience. I know it might be automatic for having a big party that night, but all I know is that it was the least amount of effort ive seen for customer service. This is the worst service Ive ever seen. Again, we always go the vintage location and they always give the best experience. Thats why Im disappointed with how bad the service was that night. read more

Before I start off with the food, may I mention how amazing service is here? Everyone is so attentive and so nice. Staff pulled out seats for us, always made sure we were taken care of, and just went beyond. It was an amazing experience. The salad bar was delicious! I got so full fast off the salad bar though, but I couldn't help it. They had a variety of salads, breads, meats, fruits, and vegetables. I really enjoyed the Parmesan eggplant. We had a variety of beef cuts, shrimp, chicken, and not to mention grilled pineapples! It just paired so well with the meats. Don't forget the honey and cheese! Wow I had to have gotten 2-3 of that! So good. There was tons of seating and this would be a great spot for a date or for celebrations. My boyfriend really enjoyed their old fashioned, and I opted for the frozen flight! All was pretty tasty, but a bit too much for me to finish. I'll probably opt for the single drink next time I'm here! read more

Have been here twice and both times the food and salad bar were amazing! The picanha steak and the Gauchos steak were our favorites. The grilled pineapple is delicious as well. They offer grilled shrimp at the table which a lot of Brazilian steakhouses don't. The ambiance is upscale and trendy. Lastly the servers are always friendly and asking if you have any requests. Have been to the Vintage Park location and I prefer the Katy location. Simply because the food is better there. Service was the same at both locations. Definitely worth checking them out if you are a steak lover! read more

Usually good but don't come on a Monday. You'll get stale bread, day old polenta. Super disappointed

The venue is beautiful but the service is all over the place. Too crowded and noisy, the waiters are hurried with no time to clarify things properly. The distance between tables is too small to accommodate that many guests. Self-serve counter is excellent. Meat is average, some cuts are overdone. The dessert was mediocre, the chocolate crunch comes in pairs - one was soft and the other solid like stone, couldn't penetrate it with my spoon, needs enhancements. Overall was okay but it was too crowded for what I was expecting. read more

I decided to treat my 18 year old nephew, who is home from college, to a special dinner. We had a great time! The food was absolutely fantastic. And I would put this restaurant on par with any high-end Brazilian churrascaria (e.g. Fogo de Chao). The service was terrific. There were managers visibly walking the floor throughout the evening -- and even stopping by our table. We never had to wait for meat. In fact, we had to flip our little green/red service cards over more than once just to catch up. My nephew's favorites were the beef ribs, and the bottom sirloin. We both really liked the gaucho steak. The filet mignon melted in your mouth. It's tempting to fill up on all the delicious fresh items on the salad bar including cold boiled shrimp, cheese, olives, and roasted vegetables. I definitely look forward to visiting the spot again. Make sure you come hungry! read more

To start off with this place has valet, which is a joke. Valet was full and we had to park so far. The salad bar is tiny and we had a long line for it. Steaks are HEB meat loaded in salt. People are trashy. The clientele is a joke. It's the Katy Latin guys that all think they are wealthy and act stuck up driving off in Hyundais and old trucks. Lol. Service was terrible I never got my drink didn't even know who the server was. Place is pathetic read more

Ambiance was very good. Salad bar was good enough. But when it came to meat this place was a disappointment. There was no meat to be served.

I don't recommend this place. read more

My favorite restaurant of all time is Gauchos do Soul. I discovered it long ago and have had many family celebrations there. The original started in Vintage, and when I tried it the first time, I knew this would be a huge success. This time we visited Gauchos in the Katy area; as always, I was not disappointed. We were promptly seated, and my wife, daughter, and I were treated like royalty. Yes, it is a bit pricey, but you get what you paid for and will not regret it. I wish there were Gauchos in Abilene! read more

Ive been here now 3 time on separate occasions and all 3 times I've had such great experiences. The staff has been amazing the food has always been great, their lobster bisque is amazing! Price wise it's ok slightly cheaper than Fogo de Chao and some of the other spots around town. So it's a great churasqueria in the Katy area and it's pretty easy to get to. I never manage to get and pictures of the meat options but they are good. The salad bar is huge and they also offer other options like bacon and seafood appetizers. Its nice inside formal but not like super formal but its good for quiet dinner for two or a family. read more

Was there Sunday night with wife and daughter. I have to give kudos to the floor manager. Food was good as usual salad bar was great. But it seems daughter had an upset stomach so she didn't really eat. She asked waiter if she could take food on her plate home because her stomach was upset, waiter deferred the floor manager, and he said no as it is Restaurant policy. I explained to her that at buffets and places like that they don't allow take home as too many people would abuse the privilege. We all understood and went on to finish our meal. At the end of the meal when they brought the bill, the floor manager said that he was taking her meal off the bill as she didn't really eat. We didn't expect it, but we're very grateful. I think this is the way restaurants should be run. Where people do things for you without asking. Anyway, great job and we will be back and recommending to others. . read more

The food was ok. Nothing spectacular as the meats were cooked properly but not very flavorful. I expected more from the salad bar after seeing the way it's advertised but will suffice. The service was horrendous. Immediately after being seated, I ordered a glass of red wine and my wife a cocktail. Even though the waitress "checked on the drinks" twice, we didn't receive them the entire meal. I would never visit a steakhouse where I can't enjoy a red with my steak. Won't return. read more

Spiffy is a great word to describe this place. The entire facility is very well done, clean and elegant that yells out "Its expensive to eat here!". Coming in at nearly $70 a person, you got to save up to stuff yourself silly for one meal. The restaurant functions like any other Brazilian steak house, where you turn your sign to green, to fill up the meat options, or turn it red to stop. You'll notice the salad bar is filled with really premium items, such as artichoke hearts, large peeled cocktail shrimps, candied bacon, smoked salmon and others. However, most of what you are paying for are on the premium, bbq meats the servers bring about. I elected to try a good majority of it and I am not particularly a fan of most. Mostly because almost every piece I received was well done, sometimes dry which came out crispy and tough, while other pieces were well flavored but entirely way too big. Some even fill up half my plate for ONE cut of meat (Beef rib slice). My ultimate favorite was the Texas "Kobe beef". Very tender, juicy and very lightly marinated to reveal the full beef flavor. Don't get me wrong, things here taste great, but I wish there were more consistency on textures and portion sizes given. $70 is a huge a mount of money for food. On top of some over charred beef options, my experience could have been better for the pricing. I don't plan of coming back, but I wouldn't rule it out. Next time, I would focus on medium rare cuts of meat and really focus on that Texas 'Kobe' beef. read more

It was our anniversary,we had high expectations,trying it for the first time ,we were very disappointed,Our server didn't execute his position well ,the meat servers passed our table up many times ,we had our table tents turned to green and they picked and chose which tables to serve more too ,the choice of meats were not very tasty , maybe only the bacon wrapped steak was good ,other than that the only thing I would rate at getting good was the Brazilian lemonade,that was delicious, with free refills ,the salad bar was just okay ,I did appreciate the cut up watermelon ,They only brought us the pan de queso one time and never checked to see if we wanted more ,we also had to flag down any servers to come refill our lemonade ,we don't have any plans in the future to even give this place a second try , when you pay that much to enjoy a meal and it was that bad ,no thanks we wont spend our hard earned many or our special occasions to be treated with such poor service read more
