That might sound a little high, but remember: it's an all-you-can-eat meal featuring unique, high-quality foods. But no matter where you go, you can expect a typical dinner to run you anywhere from $35 to $65 per person. The cost of a Brazilian-steakhouse dinner for one varies, even within the same restaurant chain. Most Brazilian steakhouses will also offer polenta, fried bananas, and typical salad-bar fare, such as fresh fruits, greens, and soups. Pão de queijo: Brazilian bread rolls made with cheese

But what if that's not exactly your thing, or what if your diet demands you don't eat meat? While the whirlwind of skewered meats happening around you might make you think otherwise, it's not a carnivore-only affair, and there are plenty of other tasty foods to be had at Brazilian steakhouses.įeijoada: a traditional Brazilian black-bean stew served with farofaįarofa: yucca flour that's toasted or sautéed and served as part of another dish, such as feijoada So you get the idea: there's a lot of meat at these places. The nicer, more expensive, and-if we're being totally honest-tastier cuts of meat are usually served last, so be sure you don't overdo it and tap out before then. Save room for the back end of the food lineup. Put the red side up for the former and the green side up for the latter. A cube, coaster, or some other small object will signal to the skewer-wielding waitstaff (called gauchos) whether you're done eating or ready for the next round of meat. Don't go nuts on the appetizers: you'll want to save room for the stuff at the end of the meal, and we're not talkin' desserts. Everything you see coming out of the kitchen, at the salad bar, or on the appetizer tables is included in the up-front price. Every place is a little bit different, but this is basically how the process goes: Think of a Brazilian steakhouse as cross between an all-you-can-eat buffet and a fine-dining experience. But if you've never actually been to a Brazilian steakhouse, the workings of these meaty meccas may be a mystery: is it an all-you-can-eat type of deal? What sorts of meats will you get to try? What if you're vegetarian or vegan? How do you pronounce fraldinha? (That last one is fral-JEEN-ya, by the way.)īut working your way through a Brazilian steakhouse meal is actually pretty simple if you know a few things beforehand, which is where this guide comes in. That didn't bring my rating down at all - it's just a little odd.They began popping up around the US in the late '90s, so you've likely heard of them by now. Finally, I did notice that they did a slight remodel muting the prior colors a little bit, which is fine however, oddly they now play country music and the gauchos were cowboy hats - but it is still called Samba Brazilian Steakhouse. I know we are in a theme park however, that is absolutely not excusable in any way. It comes out in a twenty ounce plastic bottle, and guess what the price of that is? $6.50 per bottle. What a great example for his employees! Secondly, when you order a soda is not refillable. In fact, most of his two hours were spent leaning over the hostess stand on his cell phone. He didn't once visit a table during our entire two hours here. First of all, although the staff at the hostess stand was friendly and the servers were friendly, the manager of this place brought the vibe down. A few things that kept this from bringing in five stars. The quality of the food has definitely improved, and they consistently were coming around with more meat, which made the experience that much better! We actually had a great time food wise, and our server was fantastic as well. The majority of my improvement is with the meat delivery and the quality of the food.

So, last time I had an average to below average experience. We stopped by as a party of two on Saturday, November 23 at about 6:15PM. So, 2 years since last being to this restaurant we decided to try it again.
