    The dishes
    HsiaoCheng W.

    It was about time we tried a churrasqueria in the woodlands. I have never been to this particular chain, and being the adventurous Elite I thought we should give it a try. For the most part, the buffet is nothing really different than other churrasquerias in Houston. But the bacon on the buffet is bruleed so it's sweet. I guess that's different from what I remember. The asparagus is also huge just like the other churrasquerias in Houston however. Oh they do serve sushi. Note the salmon at the sushi place section is smoked salmon and not sashimi. No wasabi or soy sauce too from what I saw. Their cheesy bread is homemade. Pretty good. But I like Fogo better. I knew it was a trap as the basket kept magically filling up each time we got up. They also got mashed potatoes and fried bananas by request. As for the meats, Picanha is usually my go to dish. They also got a garlic version as well. But at this place my favorite was the wagyu beef, baby beef and surprisingly the beef ribs. In fact the table next to us kept asking for more. It's not like Fogo's beef ribs which are meh. These ones are tender. Was not a big fan of the lamb t-bone here which requires special order as they won't otherwise bring it around. Very gamey taste too. The lamb sirloin was gamey too. And moreover it was also tough (as was the Sirloin wrapped in bacon). The chicken legs that they brought around had a sauce on them. I asked what it was and the gaucho said ketchup! Lmfao. Pass. At least he was honest! The pork ribs that came around also had a sauce on it. I didn't care for the flavor. Maybe ketchup too. lol The quiejo asado with honey was a new dish I hadn't see before. It was ok. Just fried cheese. Kids discount cuts off at 11 years old which is a year younger that Fogo. Also the discount is only $10 off the lunch price which is less than Fogo at a similar age bracket (Fogo gives half price off). My kid don't eat much. In fact she spent the last half of the meal in the bathroom. I guess making room for desert. Our waitress was very nice. But like almost every restaurant I've been to they didn't acknowledge the special occasion I noted on the reservation form on open table. In my old age "full" feels a whole lot different than full when I was younger. 10 years ago I could go into overdrive to get my moneys worth. But now full even with meat and no carbs just feels .... vomitous. This body is weak. I am but a shell of the man I once was. Sigh.

    The ambiance is delightful, you feel you are in a very up scale restaurant, but the mood is casual and the suggestion for attire is dressy casual. The food Has never disappointed me and my family and friends. The salad bar is always fresh with an abundance of choices including sushi. The pan de queso (cheese bread) is a must have.The staff is amazing everyone is so helpful and friendly. Everything considered, all in,its the best bang for the buck. Fixed price no surprises. Try it and see for yourself

    Great food and great service !! Definitely recommend this restaurant for a dining experience!

    Service is way better than Fogo de Chao, the buffet bar is delicious and has more variety. The meats keep coming constantly and prices are way more affordable. I like the ambiance and the wooden walls. They gave us a free dessert for my husband's birthday and let him choose from the standard dessert menu. In most places de bring you a standard piece of cake without asking you.

    Announced their doors opening at 4pm, but had a secret lottery several hours before.... This promotion was a cruel joke,
    Marie B.

    Feeling quite deceived (and very disappointed) over the marketing campaign launched for the Grand Opening and how it was handled. We had been super excited for this concept (for weeks!) and kept a close eye on their online presence, social media posts, and we even signed up for the "VIP" emails.... When their Facebook page announced they would officially open their doors on Saturday the 25th at 4pm, we planned to be there ready! To add to this excitement, they advertised $1 meals for the first 50 guests in the door... Woohoo! I made a reservation for 4pm (the earliest time slot available) on OpenTable the night before. On Saturday, April 25th, we arrived around 3:30pm to see a "Black Friday" sort of line out the door and around the building. Turns out that well before the expected opening time, they had already seated the first 50 people. After interviewing the crowd, it was revealed that the restaurant had staged a lottery a few hours prior and handed out "Golden Tickets" to a lucky few. I guess you needed access to secret intel to have known this. Regardless, we were still eager to dine on opening day and stuck around for a bit... Despite expecting to pay full price, we were still hoping to keep our dinner plan. We had a reservation, after all. After waiting in line for half an hour more, we finally made it inside the doors! I approached the hostess to check in for our reserved table, however & much to my disdain she explained that "it did not matter whether you had a reservation." Apparently, everyone was being treated as a walk-in, first come first serve.... At this point, the restaurant was overwhelmed with waves of people waiting, that the wait would continue for over an hour or more. Thanks to this chaos, our Saturday schedule was ruined and dinner was a total flop. This Grand Opening was an absolute circus. Planning ahead meant absolutely nothing, and it was all about luck of the draw and insider knowledge. Jokes on me. This experience definitely left a bad first impression. Really makes me mistrust their advertising and poor way of handling their reservation system... Customer service is a huge reflection of an establishment, and this left a sour taste.

    Rotating meat. Expansive buffet. Great service. All add up to a place you want to visit. Our first server also manned the bar and took particular care with our cocktails. The Brazilian caiparinha (spelling is questionable) was delicious. The buffet can easily dominate and be your entire meal so plan accordingly as the unending meats deserve a big portion of your appetite. They were all tasty and well executed. This is a warm and receiving dining room with an upbeat staff. It's bustling but you can still hold a reasonable conversation. Totally enjoyed the meal.

    Horrible place
    William D.

    The place is overpriced. Food was terrible . Gordo the manager had zero clue They wouldn't even let us take the get home to dogs lol Scam place

    Cosmopolitans and Brazilian margaritas were perfect with the rodizio menu!

    Easily our favorite date night dinner option! The salad and sushi bar are extensive and beautifully presented. The meats carved table-side are always exactly as we request and delicious. The staff is attentive and charming. Highly suggest the Carajillo cocktail created tableside! Excellent drink and fantastic presentation.

    Meat was subpar. Meat was of low quality and full of fat and gristle. Would not recommend this pace for good meat.

    Whew, what a wonderful lunch I had here. On my continues search of good eats near my home, I came…read moreacross this place on Yelp and was met with delight when we walked in. I had never been to the previous address, but the interior design was so lovely we chose to sit at the new bar. Kady, the bartender (forgive me if I spelled it wrong) was such a doll the whole time waiting us. She kept the chips (touch of louisiana we enjoyed) next to her for refills and made the most twisted hurricane I've had. Definitely walked out clinging to my man lol. We tried the crawfish dip which came with two types of bread, though both went amazing with it. I ordered the lobster ravioli with a side of hush puppies and my old guy ordered the lamb chops, well done, with gumbo (we don't eat pork) and stuffed shrimp. Everything was so damn great tasting. I mean, damned good tasting. My only flaw was the roux could've been a little thinner, but that is absolutely it. Fabulous timeeee and I'm so recommending.

    So they've moved. From Market Street to the space Next to one of my favorite cafes (PB)…read more Parking lot not full on an Easter Weekend. Despite a pretty empty restaurant we were told that only the bar and outside were available. And unlike many other places, they said this bar only allows 21 and older to dine in the bar area, which means only the outside for us. This being a cold (because of the wind) and cloudy morning. Sigh. Asked for a kids menu and was told it's only for 12 and under. Got the evil eye from the hostess when I said my kid qualifies. Then I offered to show them her ID and they backed off with smiles even. The complementary potato chips kind of tasted like Chips Oman. At least they weren't stale and it's a nice addition while you wait. The kiddo got the kids catfish which was just a pretty small piece of fish. Fries were good. Side fruit consisted of strawberries pineapple and red grapes. No drink included. Had to chase down the staff to get some tartar sauce. I wanted a Po Boy but was told they don't offer it on the weekends. Asked about beignets and was told it's only for dessert. Sigh. Decided to get the pork ribeye fricassee. The flavor was good but boy was it salty. Almost like they dropped a whole shaker of salt on it. Good thing there was some rice to counter the effect. Otherwise it would be inedible. So after our meal we had access to the desert menu and got a half order of beignets (4 pieces). They were ok. The dough on these is pretty thick though. Not sure if that's standard but I'd prefer light and fluffy. Soft opening was just the day before. So I think they're trying to find their stride. Water girl was on it though so kudos to her. Waiter was meh. Had to go in and fetch him a few times as they don't come outside much, especially when you're the only one out there. The bar area is small but the bartenders are nice. They have a sectioned off room in the back which might be good for a larger group. Place is kinda small overall though.

It was an incredible joy to taste the best fried plantain in all of Texas, and it came with some yummy spicy dip and green herbs dip with! So different so exotic! We ordered the corn smoked crab fingers as an appetiser, and the spinach and beef empanadas. We weren't too hungry and just wanted to try the appetisers before we ordered big meals. The atmosphere seems like it is supposed to be romantic, the reason for the red, although I'm not fond of the color AT ALL, the atmosphere was nice. Oh my goodness the smoked crab fingers were quite a surprise! I always knew crab could taste like this but could never find it. Yummy portions of deliciously flavoured crab. Oh my goodness I just had the most flavourful margarita I've ever had in my whole life, the Petia I think it is called! They put a salt around the rim that is not just regular salt, it is an explosion of spice in your mouth like fireworks. The spinach empanada was incredible. They had the best Yucca I've ever had in all of the US! Best meal ever in the United States. The service was incredible, everyone is so nice here, but genuine. This place is an EXPERIENCE and well worth the money. Shalom!

Guacamole, sangria, and crab cake were all decently priced for dinner. The New York strip could use some extra flavor, but the delicious mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts sides made up for it. And to die for was the sticky toffee pudding! All around an amazing happy hour and date night spot that I highly recommend.
