Sharda B.

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.

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.

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.

I really enjoy the experience of all the meat that comes around and getting to choose multiple different cuts. The service is top notch- very friendly and attentive! They want you to make sure you get what you want. The ambiance is more upscale, warm, and inviting. The salad and sides bar is nice with a lot of options, the cheese rolls are warm and delicious, and the meats are amazing!

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.

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.

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!

First time this location. Definitely make reservations. Food was good. Salad bar was ok but other Brazilian places have better. Full experience price is higher than all the others but they are the only place in Katy for now. Been to the other location twice. Liked that a bit better.

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.

The filet, beef rib, and parmesan chicken were some of the standouts. The garlic and spicy piccata house specials will probably some of my least favorite, not that they were bad, they just weren't as good as the rest. Salad bar area had some nice variety but I didn't really eat much of that. I'm really glad I didn't end up keeping out and going with the $38 version since the filet was my favorite. Service was good, and the gauchos friendly. Once you're sitting down inside you're kind of forget that you're in a strip center. Overall I'm pretty happy with the experience, but it's something that I can only do maybe once a year. Next time I'll try to remember to take pictures.

They cooked my cuts the way I like, medium. While cooking my husband's cuts medium rare. This is probably my favorite Brazilian steakhouse. The meat is cooked so perfectly. My favorite cuts were the ribeye, lamb chops, house special/picanha top sirloin. My husband loved the lamb chops, top sirloin and filet mignon. I really liked the peppercorn on the lamb chops and top sirloin. The amount of fat to meat was perfect for me. I really enjoyed the salad bad too. Eggplant, beets, pineapple; all delicious. As for sides, they had polenta fries, yuca fries?, beans, garlic mashed potatoes, and Mac and cheese. The garlic mashed potato was perfect. Mac and cheese was really good too. We were celebrating and let Carlos know, and he brought out a nice cake for us. A sweet gesture. I'd bring friends here for birthdays and Christmas. TMI but was consider coming here monthly when Aunt Flo is in town, since iron stores are depleted. The food was overflowing, almost had to be rolled out of there.

The gauchos kept calling me "the Boss," and it was awesome! They joked with me, made me laugh, and made me feel like I was the most important person in the restaurant. The restaurant is really cool because it feels special, but it's also cozy. You don't have to get super dressed up to enjoy an amazing meal. It feels fancy enough for a celebration but comfortable enough that everyone can just relax and have fun. The coolest part was that the gauchos remembered how everyone liked their meat cooked. They would come back to our table with meat cooked exactly the way each person liked it. I thought that was really cool because it showed they were paying attention. My mom's favorite things on the salad bar were the asparagus and the eggplant. I know that sounds funny, but they were really good! My favorite was all the delicious steak with rice. Every time a gaucho came by with another cut of steak, I was ready! The grown-ups also loved the drinks. My mom said her espresso martini was delicious, and everyone said the Kahlúa martinis were really good. Everyone was so nice, and they made my whole family feel welcome. Thank you, Randy, and all the gauchos, for treating me like "the Boss!" We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Houston!

My husband and I are huge steak lovers, so naturally we're regulars at Brazilian steakhouses. We've…read moretried many of them around Houston -- and honestly, Avenida stands out as the best when it comes to meat quality and variety of cuts, especially compared to other well-known Brazilian steakhouses in the same price range like Fogo de Chão and Gauchos Do Sul. Besides the typical cuts like picanha, top sirloin, bottom sirloin, and lamb chops, Avenida also offers Wagyu steak, ribeye, NY strip, salmon, shrimp, and even lobster soup. I prefer my steaks medium rare, and the meat was incredibly tender. My favorites were the top sirloin, lamb chops, and filet mignon. The service was phenomenal. They don't play the usual games that many Brazilian steakhouses do by bringing out the cheaper cuts first to fill you up. Instead, they consistently walk around serving a wide variety of meats throughout the meal, which really elevated the experience. Honestly, the only thing holding this restaurant back is the interior design and exterior appearance. I can barely notice the restaurant while driving by because the outside signage and overall presentation don't stand out. Meanwhile, Fogo de Chão (in Katy for example) catches attention immediately because the building and interior feel upscale and polished. Avenida seriously has better meat quality in my opinion, but the restaurant could benefit greatly from renovating the interior, improving the lighting, and creating a more modern and inviting romantic vibe. The food and service deserve a much busier crowd.

This establishment is unfortunately on the lower end of the scale…read more The concept is the same as any other Brazilian steakhouse. You have staff walking around, offering you different cuts of meat and even grilled cheese. There's a tiny selection of cold dishes and accompaniments- the pork belly was too hard to chew, the empanadas were cold and hard, they also had beans and rice and sushi... Can't recommend, I truly was hoping this would be an alternative as most other places are kind of far from the area.

The tile on the floor is beautiful and it really makes me want to travel. My server, karen, was great. Though they didn't have most of what I wanted (and this being my first time annnnd being super hungry) I still respect that she kept her cool and tried to give me options. I order the passion fruit juice and tried the Churrasco Gaucho with collard greens and rice. The juice was an 8 out of 10. Not too sweet and a really nice refreshing flavor. I think if it was a little bit colder it would have been a point or so higher. churrasco gaucho was a solid 9 out of 10. It was super flavorful from meat to me. It came with steak, pork, sausage, and chicken. All very very flavorful. The collard greens were a nice surprise. I was concerned when she said they it was fried but it was fried very lightly with olive oil. The flavor was absolutely delicious. And the texture was nice. Not hard not soft just perfectly chewable.. I know that sounds weird but it was. Another nice surprise was the rice. It was literally Delicious By itself. I am not one to season my white rice at home so, that's what really made me surprise but goodness gracious I could have eaten the rice by itself and I'm not a rice girl like that. Overall, I am certainly going to come here again. I am so excited that I decided to try it randomly today. I love trying out new restaurants and this place is going to be on my list for a while.

Time to Appetizers: 20 minutes Time to Entree: 25 minutes Arrived at 2:30PM on a Saturday and were directed to sit anywhere. We sat near the buffet, which was a bit unclear. There was a live guitarist/singer playing which was a fantastic vibe. A complimentary basket of four pieces of cheese bread was brought out, excellent way to start the meal! For two people, we ordered: 2x Coxinha (3.5/5): While the chicken is a tad dry, it's complimented well by the creamy sauce 1x Kibe (3/5): Reminded me of a meatball crossed with a falafel, like something you'd order on a skewer. Not too grainy and a nice smoky flavor. 1x Risole de Camarao (4.5/5): I thought this was a better version of the Coxinha. The shrimp flavor really permeates and reminds you of a shrimp risotto in a single bite. Churrasco Gaucho (16oz) (2/5): We decided to get this to sample all of the meats. Unfortunately I thought everything was really salty. Maybe it's characteristic of the Brazilian grilling style, because the smoky flavors did come through, but it just felt too salty for me on everything. Honestly maybe it just needed some kind of vegetable besides beans to help offset. Whatever their chili sauce is (5/5): I have no idea what this is but it reminds me of mashed up bird eye chili sauce..it's really good. Sprinkle it on everything. Helps with the saltiness of things. Milk Flan (4/5): A rich custard style of flan, thick and very sharable. Not too sweet. I liked this as a great palate cleanser. Service was really prompt and friendly. Paid via inKind with no issues.
