  This restaurant truly exceeded our expectations. The service was excellent, and the taste of the steaks was absolutely delicious. Everything was fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavor. We will definitely be coming back!

  I traveled from Milwaukee to Chicago and was looking forward to a great Brazilian meal after having an excellent experience at a similar restaurant in Miami recently. Unfortunately, this visit was a huge disappointment and did not meet my expectations at all. I arrived around 1:00 PM last Saturday. While it wasn't full initially, it got busy quickly, and there seemed to be only one waitress trying to handle all the tables alone. The service suffered significantly because of this. The food was the biggest letdown. I ordered the Picanha medium-well (with some pink), but they brought out a piece that was overcooked, gray, and incredibly tough. I sent it back, and while the second piece they brought had a little pink in it, it was still hard as a rock and nearly impossible to chew. To make matters worse, when they took my plate the first time, they took my utensils too. I had to sit there for several minutes waiting for new utensils just to try the second steak. By the time I was ready to leave, I had to wait a long time just to get the check. Between the poor service and the low-quality meat, I was very frustrated with the experience. I will not be returning to this location.

  Best Brazilian steakhouse I’ve tried. The meat quality beats Texas de Brazil and Fogo, and the service is amazing. It’s smaller and more intimate, which I enjoyed. The downside is the salad bar is pretty limited compared to the other places. But the meat is so good it’s worth the trade-off. They had live music when we went too. Will definitely be back.

  We went to Brazilian Express for our anniversary and had a really nice experience overall. The buffet had a great variety of options, and we loved the traditional setup; using the table card to signal when servers should bring around different cuts of meat. The meat selection was solid, though a few cuts were a bit on the dry side. Drinks were also a highlight; the Old Fashioned was well made, and the wine we ordered paired nicely with the meal. We were a little confused by the wine bottles already sitting on the tables, as it wasn’t clear how those worked. Dessert was also a bit confusing. We opted for the elevated package, so when the server came around with a tray of desserts (and spoke very quickly), it seemed like it was included, but it turned out to be an additional charge. That said, the lava cake was very decadent and delicious, and we also received a special anniversary treat, which was a nice touch. Service was very friendly and attentive throughout the night, which definitely elevated the experience. One small disappointment was that OpenTable mentioned live music starting at 6, but there wasn’t any during our visit. The atmosphere is dark and cozy, making it a nice spot for a special occasion. Overall, it’s a great budget-friendly option for a Brazilian steakhouse-style meal, and we’d definitely consider going back.

  From the moment you walk in, this Brazilian steakhouse makes you feel genuinely welcome. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure every guest feels taken care of. The service is truly outstanding, attentive without being overwhelming, and always delivered with a smile. We continue to return again and again, and it never lets us down. We’ve been to other steakhouses, and this one is our top pick. The steaks are amazing, perfectly cooked, and flavorful. The mashed potatoes and bread are amazing too. The prices are reasonable, especially for the quality and experience you get.
