I hosted my mum's 80th birthday here for 50 guests. I have no words. Luis and the whole team including David were incredible from beginning to end. There aren't enough stars to express how fantastic the restaurant, food, service, ambiance and everything were. I've loved this place for over a decade and I really recommend Kravings. They accommodated all of my guests requests, went above and beyond and never once showed any irritation. They even packaged my videographers meals and special plate for my nephew. It was worth every dime and my invited guests raved and raved too. They really made the day feel special. read more

Great place for ladies night but something have changed. The food was not great if you aren't doing the all you can eat - the picanha might as well have been beef jerky and wait staff non existent once food was delivered Extensive drink menu and a nice space for bigger parties Chimichurri fries and bacon wrapped dates were delicious. Will have to remember to just order appetizers next time read more

Stopped by Kravings Brazilian Steakhouse around 3 PM for a quick, light bite. It seemed like we were one of the first groups there since they typically open around 3:30 on weekdays, so things were just getting started. It looked like they might've been short-staffed--the bartender was also serving tables--so service was definitely on the slower side. It took a while for our water to get refilled and for our order to come out. That said, I've worked in the bar/restaurant industry, so I get how it can be sometimes. It wasn't ideal, but also not a dealbreaker. Now for the food--the truffle fries were so good, definitely a highlight. We also ordered the seafood tower, which came with cocktail shrimp, oysters, shrimp ceviche, Maine lobster, ahi tartare, and chips on the side. Everything was fresh and nicely presented. We also got the grilled shrimp with a side salad, which was solid and satisfying for something on the lighter side. Overall, a bit of a slow start service-wise, but the food delivered. I'd come back again, maybe during a busier time when they're fully staffed. Next time I'm coming for the meat - someone ordered a rack of ribs next to us and it smells so delicious. Might have to try it. read more

I came here on a Wednesday for my sister's birthday. The food was delicious and the service was a 10/10. I will definitely be coming back again. The only feedback I have is that the advertised days for the performance should be updated on the website. I was a bit disappointed when I found out they don't perform on Wednesdays, even though the website said they did. Hopefully next time I visit I'll be able to catch the performance. Overall, we had a great experience. read more

Took my girlfriend here for her birthday dinner. I loved the outside look with the red lighting and the inside with the dim red lighting and loud music and dancers. There's so many meat options and they even have a beef kebab option. All the meats are seasoned wonderfully and they have plenty of sides like Yuka fries, salads, and bread. There were so many great options and the service was always consistent and quick. Our waiter always checked up on us and the gauchos always came to offer more meats. There's plenty of parking available in the parking lot so you don't need to pay for valet or anything. Very nice and convenient. read more

Can't believe this place has been around since 2006 and I'm only hearing about it now! I recently went there for a DJ on a Thursday night and came back for the whole weekend! They have djs on the weekends and the food menu is very affordable! Especially for my favorite, Picanha! read more

It's very dark and very red in here for sure. Parking can be a tad problematic but the happy hour menu is worth looking for a space. It's fun to people watch here too...lots of online dating first timers will keep you entertained. The Picanha Brazilian steak is a standout as well as the generously portioned lamb chops. read more

Great food and a lovely atmosphere! The meat was excellent -- perfectly cooked and full of flavor.

Overall, a great experience and we'd happily come back! read more

Delicious endless Brazilian BBQ with music and entertainment. Food: All the meats were well-seasoned and tasty. My favorite was the beef short rib roast. It was so tender and juicy! The side dishes complemented the meat well, especially the chimichurri sauce. I would also recommend to try the grilled pineapple. After all, pineapple does help with digestion! Service: Excellent. The light switches made it easy to communicate with the servers to keep coming or to stop. The dancers were fantastic! They were so friendly and nice to my niece. Ambiance: Nice dim lighting. It could get loud during performances. Bonus: I'm so amazed to find a mouthwash station in the restroom! Such a thoughtful addition for customers to stay fresh after eating all that meat! read more

First time at Kravings and definitely impressed! The meat servers come around with different cuts and everything was super juicy. Their lamb chops were absolutely my favorite, so tender! The unlimited BBQ includes all the appetizers and side dishes. The interior's nicely done, perfect for special occasions without being too fancy. It's pretty spacious inside. For parking, limited spots in front of the restaurant, you'll either need to park behind the plaza for $5 or find street parking. Their cocktails are legit fresh! Tried the caipirinha, pear martini, and espresso martini - all really good! The cheese board was a nice surprise, definitely not your basic selection. Loved that the desserts weren't too sweet... meant I could actually enjoy them after all that meat! The samba dancers added such a fun vibe while we ate. All the staff were super friendly and made our first rodizio experience really comfortable. Will definitely be back! Great value since everything's included!! read more

Food is on point. Service is fantastic. The place is a bit dark, but the go when the dancers are there and you won't even notice. Best place for Brazilian BBQ hands down. read more

I hadn't been here in some time, but this place is comparable to Fogo de Chao and kinda reminds me of Stonefire with their take-out family meals. Their value packages are worth it and the meat is so, so tender. I'd been meaning to come back to dine-in as they also have performances. read more

Sizzling Meats + Endless Sides = Brazilian BBQ Feast to remember!! I love the gorgeous decor! Makes for a wonderful ambiance.

Came in last week with a small group for a celebratory dinner. One of our party had been here before and suggested Kravings for our dinner and she chose well. Service went smoothly, they explained the menu and the sides dinner automatically comes with ( garlic mash, basmati rice, grilled vegetables and plantains) and we also added on other sides ( charcuterie board, shrimp cocktail, California roll , tuna maki roll, mushrooms). Then all the entrees came rolling in. I tried as many as I could, my favorites of the night were the filet mignon, salmon, grilled shrimp, mushrooms, charcuterie and plantains. There was so much food though, you definitely get your moneys worth. We ended the meal with the Brazilian flan- very good, very creamy. A great dinner, great service, and must try for meat lovers! read more

I love the concept of this place--it's unique and thoughtfully designed (buffet). That said, I don't think I can eat enough in one sitting to really make it worth the price for me personally. Still, the food was absolutely delicious. The tequila lime chicken, wasabi steak, tandoori Cornish hens, grilled shrimp, and bacon-wrapped mignon were all standout dishes. Each bite was full of flavor and cooked beautifully. The ambiance was charming with a romantic touch, making it a great spot for date night. I also had a martini that was top-notch--perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. Overall, a lovely experience even if I couldn't take full advantage of the concept. read more

Husband and I hosted a family celebration dinner for 17 people at Kravings, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. Jasmin helped us book the reservation, and she was wonderful -attentive, patient, and quick to answer every question. She really made us feel confident that everything would be taken care of, and she absolutely delivered on that assurance. Julius coordinated the event the day of, and he kept everything running smoothly. The whole evening felt organized and effortless, which is not easy with a group our size. The food came out right on time, and every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Our servers were just as impressive--courteous, gracious, and consistently attentive without ever being intrusive. They handled our big group with ease and made everyone feel welcome. Kravings made our family celebration feel special. Great food, great service, and truly thoughtful coordination from start to finish. We'll definitely be back for future gatherings! read more

Been here several times over the years and the quality has only gone down. Service was mediocre, when we went yesterday during the early evening, there were 2 other tables and we still had to wait for many things several times (napkins, water, the bill, etc). I guess thats what happens when gratuity is included in the bill. We got the all you cant eat for $78 a person. The food was okay, nothing special or memorable. I didnt feel like anything was delicious and would return specifically for. We didnt get to try any chicken either that was on the menu and when we asked we were told it would take 30 minutes, after already being there for an hour. A major issue we had was gnats! I could not take a bite in peace, there were at least 10 of these things flying all around us and the food. At some point I gave up swatting them away. For a place thats quite expensive for the amount being served, I think the service should be outstanding and there should not be flies inside the establishment. Would not recommend, you can go to fogo de chao for a much better experience. read more

Love it here! My first time here was over 10 years ago and I've been coming back occasionally since then. I always have a good time. Yesterday I was in for lunch and it was yummy. I always make the mistake of eating too much. I can't get enough of their cinnamon pineapple! All the meat we tried was super yummy, I just wasn't a fan of the chicken hearts - I may not be alone on that one lol. Definitely recommend this location. On the weekends/ nighttime it's super upbeat and has more of a bar/ party vibe. Service was amazing, especially Jose! He was REALLY pleasant, and funny. Helpful and brought out everything in a super timely manner. YUM! read more

This restaurant deserves more recognition IMO. They have good quality food and services. Along with beautiful decor and ambiance. You definitely get more than you pay for here. I have been to many Brazilian BBQ establishments but this one remains one of my favorites. Also try to catch their dance shows for better dining experience. read more

My girlfriend and I went to cravings for happy hour. We had two glasses of wine, a cheese charcuterie and flatbread. The bill came out to $90.50. When we ask the bartender if he had given us a discount because of happy hour he remarked yes it's on the bill. He said it was 21 and +4. The bill still was $90.50. We did not get a discount for happy hour. Please check your receipts before you agree to pay. When we ask where the discount was, he got very irate and ignored us. Also, the gratuity is already on the receipt the bill I will not be going back to cravings and I do not recommend recommend going. Especially when you're a senior citizen and get taken advantage of. read more

We first visited Kravings a few months ago for lunch while we were in the area and came across it on Yelp. We were so impressed that when my mother-in-law's birthday came around, we wanted a special place to celebrate and immediately thought of Kravings. We made an online reservation, which even gave us the option to pre-order a bottle of wine for $50 (versus $62 if ordered at the table). We chose a Napa Cabernet absolutely delicious! From the moment we arrived, the service was excellent. The staff is attentive and friendly, always checking in to see if we needed anything. The atmosphere is lively and fun, especially when the dancers come out to celebrate birthdays. They bring such great energy to the room! The food was phenomenal. The meats kept coming around perfectly cooked lamb chops, tender cuts of beef, and flavorful shrimp. We skipped the chicken this time, but everything we tried was top-notch. For sides, they brought everything right to the table. No need to get up like at Fogo de Chão. We had white rice, vegetables, mashed potatoes, yucca, fried bananas, and their delicious cheese and bread with pesto. They also have a small side menu with options like sushi rolls, which is a nice touch. Overall, Kravings has become our special go-to spot. Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. We'll definitely be coming back again! read more

If you're searching for an unforgettable brunch experience that checks every box!! Flavor, ambiance, and first-class service. Kravings Brazilian Brunch is the destination. From the moment I walked in, I was swept away by the sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere. Think elegant Brazilian charm fused with modern, upscale comfort--lush greenery, warm lighting, and music that instantly puts you in a weekend state of mind. But let's talk food because wow. Every bite was a journey. The picanha was perfectly seasoned, the cheese bread (pão de queijo) was little pockets of heaven, and don't even get me started on the bottomless mimosas refreshing, crisp, and dangerously easy to love. Now for the star of the show: Julius. This man redefines what service should be. He was gracious, knowledgeable, and made us feel like VIPs the entire time. His timing impeccable, and he carried himself with a warmth and professionalism that elevated the entire experience. Kravings Brazilian Brunch is not just a meal, it's an event. Whether you're celebrating something special or just treating yourself, go. Ask for Julius. Savor everything. Thank me later. read more

This place is a lot of fun at dinner time, especially when there's live dancing and plenty of meat to go around. In the age of the pandemic, things have slipped just a tad here, but it's understandable. Still pretty good, but not as great as it used to be maybe 4-6 years ago. In comparison to Fogo de Chao, especially given relatively comparable prices, I'd have to say Kravings isn't quite at the same level. Not far off, but not there. Kravings used to be a convenient alternative in the Valley, though there are now more Fogo de Chao locations... More premium meats and a stronger salad/apps bar offering would go a long way. There's limited parking in the immediate lot, or else in the parking garage toward the back of the plaza. read more

Food was good. Enjoyed the vegan options and will definitely return. Server was great. The ambiance was lovely.

I usually love Kravings. However, the meats were overcooked and dry this time. It was disappointing. The staff was very nice.

Super impressed with this restaurant! My friend and I were looking for a dinner spot and stumbled upon Kravings. Immediately when we came in, we were greeted by staff and was told we had two options for food choices: we could either do the unlimited food menu or the standalone happy hour menu. Due to us having another event, we chose the happy hour menu which we had no regrets about! First, the restaurant has a mysterious aura about it. It has low lighting with glows of red. It definitely has a romantic / modern vibe to it which I appreciated. Since we did the happy hour, we sat at a two person table. The menu was extensive and the prices reasonable. My friend ordered the El Diablo burger with the seasonings vegetables and I ordered the Surf and Turf fries. My friend loved her burger and was super impressed on the size and portions:m. She stated that she knew the meat was great quality. My surf and turf was absolutely amazing and so flavorful. It was a huge portion too that came with 6 large shrimp and an 8 ounce steak sliced. The fries had chimichurri sauce on top. I also asked for a side of their jalapeño ranch sauce which I highly recommend everyone get! It was so delicious! With the happy hour menu being so delicious, I definitely plan on coming back for the Brazilian rodizio! The prices and food was excellent! read more

I'll start off be saying my family has hosted events here for years and we have always had a great experience- especially with Louis, one of the managers. However, this last event that we held at Kravings was just okay and the treatment we received from manager David afterwards means we will not be coming back again. We held my son's baptism brunch here, and Louis with the manager in charge that day. When we came in he immediately recognized my family and was incredibly generous with his hosting. My guests enjoyed the food but we had several food items missing, particularly the lox from the brunch menu. This was disappointing because I have a few guests who only eat fish. Not to mention the steak, kabob etc was never brought out. I had 4 guests who came later than expected and they were not given the full service (several dishes not brought out, not offered drinks etc). It was like they wanted us to just leave, even thought our contract allowed us to have the room until 3pm. I worked with David- the other manager- on the contract, and initially he was great to work with. When I emailed him after the even stating we didn't receive several items and that we had a guest who did not eat and should not be charged and wanted a partial refund, he became defensive and rude over email, stating he needed to "clarify" things for me that occurred, even though that had nothing to do with the missing items or being charged for one extra person or having 4 guests not get the full service. There were a few other things that did not go well on this day, but the experience was still good for my guests overall. I am mostly appalled at this level of engagement with David. What used to be a place that held fond memories for my family, and was supposed to be a happy day for my firstborn child is now bitter because of the treatment we received. My family and I will not be returning and I recommend you just go to Fogo de Chao for your event- it will cost the same and the food will be better. read more
