    Excellent service and they fitted us within 30 minutes as we hadn’t booked. I went here with my family consisting of 3 children. Greeted by a lovely guy called Clayton who explained in detail h the menu and how to order as we hand to been here before. The food was excellent and the service superb. No complaints at all, we had to remind them of a side dish we ordered twice but it was busy and didn’t bother us at all. Well deserved 5 stars

    What an amazing experience.1st time visited Saturday 5th March. Everything was explained clearly to us, how it works. Waiter was very much on the ball, friendly and attentive. Price was good for the amount of food we ate, had the chance to have a break by flipping the table mat to NO. Then when ready to eat again turn it back to YES!!!. Very clean, not busy at 12.30, by the time we left, nearly 2hrs later it was very busy, definitely going again.

    Hadn’t been to an all you can eat place in years and this place didn’t disappoint. Tried all the available meats and they were all good. A nice Smokey taste and selection. The salad bar had some good options but would recommend just eating all the meat first before seeing if you have room for salad. Would definitely revisit. Great value for money if you go on Tuesday for the deal.

    First the good bits, the food was fantastic and plentiful there is no denying that, however everything else was slightly off, from the lady at entrance with her feet up barely acknowledging us and telling us to go to the bar, where we were served but had to pay and not add it to the table to the service where it seemed at the wrong pace, really slow to start to a rush to serve meat to having to request dessert. There also seemed to be a language problem with incorrect sides coming and the drinks orders being questioned. Overall this place has a lot of potential once the niggling bits are sorted.

    Its a really nice place to eat in Cardiff, went on Valentine’s Day and the service felt rushed ultimately ruining the experience. I can understand they were busy but it just felt like the 12 or however so many meats were cramped into a few minutes of madness, was overwhelmed and ruined my appetite.The gammon is EXTREMELY salty (viva Brazil you have got to fix this) as in the salt content is ridiculous and I love gammon, consider smoking or desalinating. Bbq ribs were raw and inedible . Other than that we had a decent meal and while I don’t think it was value for money, I have spent loads more for much less.

    We have visited with family on Friday for a first time in Cardiff. I have not been in something this bad for very long time. The food was terrible! We did not like non of the meats and been wasting them 90% of times as they were completely tastless, often overcooked or opposite undercooked. Whatever they brought was impossible to eat. Salad bar saved us a bit but also noting worth the money. We spent over £150 for 3 people and left very dissapointed, and upset. We have visited several Brazilian restaurants of this kind in the UK and in other countries but this was the worst of them all. I do not recommend visiting, it is a real waste of money! ☹️

    Brilliant, soooo much food, if you have a big appetite and are a meat lover come here. Place to be. I have recommended this place to everyone. And the manager, sorry i didnt catch her name was brilliant, very helpful genuine and a real asset to that business. We were given complimentary proseco because it was our anniversary, everything was just top notch, meats, sides and service. Well done, next time we're in Cardiff will definitely go there again 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    The best Brazilian restaurant in the South West. We drive 1hr to get here each time, and it's so worth it. The service is great, the meat is very flavourful, succulent and tender. The sides are great too. There is bound to be some meat you don't like, but that's ok you can just ask for more of the ones you prefer. Make sure to save some space for the cinnamon pineapple, it's the best part of the evening.

    Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. My mother and my girlfriend both wanted the four meat option instead of the ten meat (which is all they offer at weekends), but management allowed them. Food is always delicious and the new way of ordering sides is still very quick and efficient

    Was a good night in Cardiff, and then we found this place by accident! Never in my life have I had so much meat in one place and in one sitting. The ambience was lit, the floor staff amazing, Couldn't get out of my seat at the end of the night! 🥴🥴🤣 My wife and I were actually surprised to learn from the manager that there was a branch in Glasgow--I've lived in Edinburgh and in recent years in West Lothian but never knew this! Definitely visiting them again soon...

    Absolutely wonderful experience. Loved to food and the ambience. And the best is, they have Halal options too. Succulent Lamb and rib eye steak. Loved the chilli chicken. Delicious cuts with Garlic sauce. If you are a meat lover, this is the place to be. Freshly grilled and unlimited. Love to go back.

    Have been with the family a few times and everyone enjoys the generous meat fix. This is my first time as a vegetarian and I was really impressed with the quality of the (limited) vegetarian options. An excellent table magician on a busy Saturday was also a lot of fun.

  • 4/5 anna s. 7 months ago on Google • 39 reviews
    Located 2 min walk from Cardiff central train station. Priced per head, no point in visiting unless meat eater as that's the attraction. Endless meat served to your table! Great value for money as can eat until you burst!

    Birthday Weekend away, was recommended to book a table here and it did not dissapoint. If you like your barbecue & selection of meats 🍖 then this is the place for you. A member of staff cuts up your meet for you which they then tick off for you , and you can go up and choose a big selection from there salads etc, not the best value for money however you certainly get what you pay for a great atmosphere, very friendly staff too, when explaining how to order.

  • 5/5 Rta N. 3 years ago on Google
    I recommend rodizo if you are a first timer. Nice place, friendly receptionist. The good thing is that COVID-19 has not really had a toll on the quality of their customer service. Finally the price was good. We had 6 starters (that's how it is served) a cocktail and rodizio for £59 for 2. Talking about satisfied, I can't stress on that enough.

    Meat very tough only garlic steak was good. Not all you can eat steak like casa brasil. Only unlimited side and limited meat depends on day and time you dine. Its similar to harvester really (with unlimited salad) For me its too pricey.

    No salad bar, and sadly Viva Brazil has lost it's sparkle! Carpets looked dirty, a general air of unkempt...

    Terrible avoid at all costs. Nothing like what it used to be. The sides they offer instead of the salad bar sound fantastic but are dreadful. I used to love this place but will never go back there.

  • 5/5 David C. 2 years ago on Google
    First time I've been to a Viva Brazil. I'll definitely be going back....well priced and the food is incredible. Pork, beef and chicken with more sides than you can handle. If you keep your card green then the food keeps coming until you reach all 10 courses....I was ready to explode by the time I left.

    Really enjoyed this place, 👌 if you like all you can eat and are a meat lover, seriously check this place out, wow. Be warned tho. Theres a lot of meat to try and get through.

  • 5/5 James E. 1 year ago on Google
    We went for the full grill experience and would go again! Sides are both healthy and unlimited. We got garlic mashed potato which was amazing and will try that at home. They bring around 15 different kinds of meat to your table and you get as much or as little as you want. Great location. Bit noisy but to be expected on a Saturday night.

    One of my favourite restaurants in Cardiff! So much choice of meats and sides. It is cheaper in a weekday lunch time vs. Weekday evening but I've ate at both times and it's been fast friendly service. You choose your sides (buffet style) and then the waiters come around with meat on the skewer and carve it on to your plate. You have a card which you can flip to either say 'yes more meat please' or 'no, thanks'. I love the concept and always leave this place super full. A must go for meat lovers!

    Viva Brazil Cardiff exceeded expectations with impeccable service and genuine warmth. Celebrating my nephew's 16th birthday was made even more memorable by their heartfelt rendition of "Happy Birthday." The staff's friendliness was evident throughout our visit, from the moment we walked in until the last goodbye. They went above and beyond to ensure our experience was enjoyable, attending to every detail with care. The atmosphere was vibrant, and the energy of the place resonated with joy. Every interaction felt personal, adding an extra layer of warmth to the dining experience. Viva Brazil Cardiff truly knows how to create a welcoming and celebratory environment, making it the perfect destination for special occasions or simply a delightful evening out.

  • 4/5 Daniel Richard T. 3 months ago on Google • 46 reviews New
    Well it was a Monday, staff were great, food was good, it was a Monday £40 per person was a little steep, food was cooked easy, aka medium rare. Again staff were good , food was a little rushed. Won't be back too soon as it was just over priced but that for me. Meat was cooked on point 👉 every time so can't fault that.

  • 5/5 Jessie S. 1 month ago on Google • 42 reviews New
    First time visit today for a Valentine's Day lunch. And waddled out like a couple of stuffed penguins a while later! The staff worked their absolute socks off delivering delicious freshly BBQ'd meat, beautiful garlic bread and tasty cinnamon pineapple straight to our greedy gullets. Safe to say we'll be back, with friends in tow.

    The food was absoutely fantastic! Served medium rare and cooked perfectly! Me and my friend came for holiday and we wanted to come here for a while and it did not disappoint. Next time we are in Wales, we will be coming here again.

    I visited Viva Brazil last night with my wife, as she had heard a lot about this restaurant. It was truly a memorable experience and both of us are in agreement that Viva Brazil is the best restaurant we have been to in Cardiff. The food, service an atmosphere were first class and we would like to thank each and every staff working at the restaurant for being amazing, especially Nathalia who served us. She is very friendly and cheerful and always has a pleasant smile. All the staff members working at the restaurant are incredible. An unforgettable night and one of the best nights ever.

  • 5/5 Jason A. 4 years ago on Google
    I absolutely love this place. One of the best restaurants in Cardiff for me. The food is outstanding, the service is quick and friendly. Also of you have room after gorging on all the meat, check out the dessert. The cheesecake is immense. Enjoy!!!!

  • 5/5 Cassie W. 3 years ago on Google
    Love this Restaurant.. nicest meat ive ever tasted

  • 4/5 NICOLA E. 4 years ago on Google
    Loved it here....but make sure you have plenty of room as the food is never ending. Staff are also really friendly. The only thing I'd say is that the food needs covering. In the summer the flies will be right in there!!! Otherwise it was fantastic.

  • 4/5 Andi 4 years ago on Google
    It's good but not brilliant. Many meat choices which were generally good but occasional hot and miss in terms of seasoning and cooking. Some pieces were perfect medium, others were well done. If you like medium rare or rare I think you're out of luck. Lots of salad choices but mainly carbs. No plain lettuce even though there seemed to be dressing sauce. Maybe they forgot - not sure. Garlic steak was awesome. Picanha was underseasoned and over cooked. Second round was slightly better in both departments. Coffee products but no coke zero, only diet coke and regular. All in all I had a good lunch. Service was super fast and they were not shy to bring meat unlike some other places I've been to. Would definitely return or recommend this restaurant

  • 4/5 Silviu V. 3 years ago on Google
    Verry good service, and delicious food. I'll be back soon?.

  • 4/5 Golgotha 1. 4 years ago on Google
    Very good spot for meat lovers, quality of food was excellent and service very good. Might have needed a bot more time between each course just to let it digest a little but nothing to complain about. Prices were good. Pro tip, dont fill up on the salad bar, always a rookie mistake. It's hard not to because the salad bar does look very good bit be strong!!!! You will need the room to complete the list.

  • 5/5 Waleed E. 3 years ago on Google
    Very nice atmosphere and great food. Good choices in salad bar. Pleasant staff

  • 5/5 Darryl H. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing place if you like lots of meat. Service was quick and before you know it you're sat down and eating. Alongside the meat you can go up and select from a large selection of salad or cooked veg. There are lots of different types of meat. My favourite was the gammon but they were all really nice. Well work a visit.

  • 5/5 Ian M. 4 years ago on Google
    Fantastic churrascaria. Staff are polite and friendly, the salad bar is well equipped and the meats were delicious. Decor is also top notch, making for a truly good night out. If you're a meat lover and you happen to be in Cardiff, this is one not to miss.

  • 5/5 Elliot C. 4 years ago on Google
    Beautiful restaurant couldn't of asked for a better places. There for an hour lots to eat. Caters for all types of people. My favourite was the pineapple roast. Helps with stomach digestion after eating all the wonderful meats. Would recommend to anyone. Free bottle of on house wine on Wednesday. If your looking to take someone on a date, this is the places. but there is a wicked salad bar for vegans and vegetarians. First time at a Brazilian places. I would definitely be going back !

  • 5/5 Astro W. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Samantha W. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing! Even after the social distancing changes. Friendly helpful staff even though they are under alot of pressure, in very warm weather and whilst wearing PPE at all times. Love this place, love the staff and love the food. (Sides could be bigger portions)

  • 2/5 gamer p. 3 years ago on Google
    Myself and my girlfriend love this place the staff are very friendly and polite, as we come from swansea many times just to eat here, But sadly we felt the place has lost its spark... with the buffet selection now gone and meat menu has become less its quiet disappointing. I know they have to follow government guidelines but even when the meat is being cut its put in a french fry pot?... At least have a Calvary section as this was lovely to see when your meat was cut, also instead of plastic covers for the 2m distance around the tables why not place glass to give it a stylish look. My point is that we have to make the best of things in these hard times. We will miss this place.

  • 5/5 Rhys E. 3 years ago on Google
    We arrived 10 minutes early and sat down to wait for 5 minutes in the waiting area. There was a wash basin on the way in, and staff all wore masks. Tables were spaced apart and a smaller intermediate table between, so that the server can cut meats into bowls that will then be left for to grab once the serve leaves, all very well socially distanced. Instead of the normal salad bar, you would just request whichever dish you wanted off the server when they came to the table. The menus were digital and could accessed only by scanning a QR code on the table. The food quality has not deteriorated in the slightest since our last visit, last June. Everything was delicious and the staff were friendly and courteous. Probably the nicest Classic Mojito I have ever had! And I highly recommend the Mango and Passionfruit Caipirinha! Very satisfied, and would definitely visit again! I'd be here far more often if I lived locally.

  • 3/5 Gareth S. 3 years ago on Google
    Post lock down experience was a disappointment, completely get that there are guidelines to stick to and that they are doing what it takes to be open but paying the same price as pre lock down for half the experience left me feeling ripped off. Having to order whats usually on the buffet station with a maximum of 6 items in tiny bowls per order when there is 6 of you makes it a slow process to get a plate of food and its not of the usual standard. Plus there was none of the usual sauces that are amazing only ketchup and mayo ? I won't hold this against them as its a tough task to operate at the moment and usually the place is spot on but I won't be visiting again until things are back to normal.

  • 5/5 Rita S. 3 years ago on Google
    I give this place 5 stars. It was amazing! My family and I went there as a dinner for good grades and we ate a full rodízio! It was hard but we made it! At the end we ate churros with melted chocolate as you can see underneath the comment. They were delicious. The chicken wings and the sausages were quite spicy and so were the French fries. That's only a problem for me! I personally prefer no spice but that's my opinion. I recommend this one hundred percent! Also if there are any Brazilian or Portuguese people reading this, there are a few Brazilian and Portuguese employees! There was a slight lack of organisation but we came to a conclusion that COVID-19 didn't help. We waited a long time to get our meat but that's because we forgot to flip the little card to the side that says, YES PLEASE, WE WANT MEAT! So yeah, don't forget to do that. I hope this helped! Thanks for reading and enjoy yourself! ??

  • 2/5 Brian S. 3 years ago on Google
    On our first visit had a great lunch here. Food was plentyful and hot, only thing was that the meat was very salty. Service was good would have got 5 stars with less salt so have to reduce the rating from 5 to 4 stars. Came here on 3 August after reopening and it was not good. Peroni was warm, out of the meat selection only 2 were hot and the sides were mostly luke werm. Had to ask 3 times for more sides and waited over 10 minutes after asking for the bill so 4 stars go to 2 stars.

    Excellent food, plenty of choice, staff were very friendly and helpful, even when we said we were full they checked to make sure there wasn't anything left that we wanted to taste but hadn't got round to yet, also not in a rush to get us off our table on a busy Friday night which was a nice change. Highly recommended

    Being a vegan, I was slightly dubious about having a team lunch here, I shouldn't have been. The service that i recieved was excellent and the food was really good. Lunch was a set meal of spiced black bean steak, side of coconut sauce and vine tomatoes and a portion of fries with a starter of mushrooms and chilli sauce, be aware the chilli sauce was quite spicy. Didn't eat the meat, but from what other team members said, the food was cooked well and really tasty. Seems that there is something here to cater for all diets. And an added bonus, there it's a salad bar which is unlimited

    Went here for a birthday meal just before the most recent lockdown and had a lovely time! Great value for money, we opted for the 14 meat selection and struggled to even try them all! Friendly and prompt service, tasty food, great job adhering to social distancing rules. The sides were fab, the star for me was the feta cheese balls with honey! The grilled cinnamon pineapple was delicious as well. Really enjoyable meal, we just anticipated it to be a fancier restaurant and not all-you-can-eat vibes but the food was tasty and the service was great :)

  • 5/5 Daniel W. 3 years ago on Google
    I have been here before but even with some restrictions in place the atmosphere and service wasn't diminished in the slightest. The food was excellent, as always, and the service was superb. The prices are very reasonable as is the the selection of meats available - all of which you can have plenty of. Gotta say, loved this place.

    So a work colleague told me about this shack. Decided to have a few days exploring Cardiff with my beautiful wife, and not so beautiful (yet passable) kids , and shazam! We found our hotel attached to this restaurant. Even after the eat out to help days were over, and we expected to get a table with ease, it took 7 attempts to book a table ( WAITING FOR A CANCELLATION), one call after another. Perseverance paid off, and we managed to get in. Well am I happy we did. What a different eating experience to the norm. All as described by the other reviewers on here. Too good, too tasty, too much, and VV different. One certainly needs expandable clothing Try the cocktails, I did more than once or twice. Fortunately alcohol does not affect me, only the trees I drive into afterwards (that was an example of my second favourite taste. The first favourite being meat, the second being bad). So if you get the chance, and you enjoy meat and pleasant atmos, then you have to give this place a bash. It will also help if you book a room in the Clayton Hotel. The doors are like 20 meters apart so there is no excuses for not overdoing it. :-)

  • 1/5 Steve L. 3 years ago on Google
    My wife slipped on the way in by the bar. The general manager Nathan was rude and very unhelpful, to the point of being sarcastic. "I've checked the video, no water so must be your shoes, so not my problem" No concern for the pain she was in only to mitigate any blame from him. The food was OK but the attitude and disdain showed by this rude man will definitely make us not return.. The other staff were great and helpful but I would not return due to him.

  • 5/5 Kay T. 3 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Pam B. 3 years ago on Google
    Fortunately we were with our son, who knew how things work here, so we thoroughly enjoyed the experience under his guidance! When we come here again, though, we'll remember to turn the 'ticket' to red after each plate of meat and enjoy all the various "oh so delicious' flavours of the meats. Pork with a parmesan crust?! Who'd have thought of that!! Yum!!

  • 5/5 Matt S. 3 years ago on Google
    What. A. Place! Every meat lovers dream. We went for the 14 meat options and was not disappointed. It was so mouthwateringly good. Covid guidelines being adhered too and all staff wearing mask, tables socially distanced and one way system clearly marked and in place. The food was just outstanding. The manager was amazing, had a little hiccup regarding the lady in the front desk and she handled it so well and even knocked 10% off of our bill as well as free prosecco as it was our anniversary. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back next time we are in the city.

    LOADS of food, I recommend just having a couple of slices of each meat, you get a choice of ten or fourteen types PLUS sides. Really nice staff, enjoy your visit :)

    Did not like this place. We asked for no pork to be brought to the table this happened twice. The food was flavourless and chewy. Some Staff were rude.

    You can tell the waiting staff work incredibly hard- they all seemed friendly and happy to be there. The main problem here are the steaks served. They are very dry- well cooked + heated more throughout service. It made all the steaks chewy and unappetising. However, the sausages and smoked gammon were delicious and I would consider going back just for these! For the price paid (27 pp for food), I wouldnt expect half the selection of meats to be so dry. Perhaps it was an off day for whoever cooked the steaks.

  • 3/5 Ben 3 years ago on Google
    My forth time here and only time i have been disappointed. Most meats were bland and cold. Quality everywhere just seems to have sub sided since Covid. Also had trouble understanding the waiters/servers. No fault of their own. Prices have gone up yet quality has dropped.

    The staff MADE the experience! From the second my partner and I walked in we were greeted by a beautiful, bubbly woman (the cuban woman 👌) who was absolutely lovely and welcomed us in and explained how everything worked... we were then sat at our table and another beautiful brunette woman (so sorry I dont know names) came over and explained again! Both ladies were lovely and polite! Then a man with a top nott came over and he was a lovely man too! But the person who totally MADE our night was Melvin... WHAT A LEGEND!! Its very rare my partner and I have no kids, and no work the next day, and Melvin honestly gave so much banter and bubbly personality that It really made our night - to the point I asked for his name so I could write this review! Melvin is the kind of man you need in your management team because he has the gift of the gab and he is a blessing to your company!! Thank you Melvin for making our date night such a fun experience... you had a table of 4 sat just next to us who were barking orders at you and acting like they were the royal family and you still took it in your stride and we heard how they spoke to you like a piece of sh** and you still managed to make them happy - you are a credit to the company and you deserve to be acknowledged for that... I take my hat off to you, and cant thank you enough for the experience you gave us! On leaving all the staff were very friendly, even the kitchen staff - who I imagine never get complimented because they're hidden away but they were all smiles and we really appreciated their beautiful cooking! What an amazing team... keep doing what you're doing guys, you're amazing and really made our 'date night' (which we rarely get due to kids and work) such a lush night - We truely can't thank u enough xx

    lovely experience, friendly staff. Great food! reasonable price! if you eat meat perfect place to go out.

  • 3/5 Sophia G. 3 years ago on Google
    Unfortunately the current situation with COVID19 restrictions doesn't make the dining experience as good as before. Limited sides comparing to what was previously on offer and waitress not with usual friendly attitude and lacking any sense of humour...

  • 3/5 Brian M. 3 years ago on Google
    I've been twice in the past week the first experience was good not perfect but enjoyable, some of the meats provided weren't edible, bit tough and chewy female staff that served were plesent and very quick. Second visit not so good, male staff kinda threw the meat on the table really disgracefully as if feeding a bunch of cattle, the service they gave were really slow and poor, had to ask twice for new cutlery and for sauces and even then there were mistakes. I must the sayrestaurant was pretty quiet so no excuses for it really and again we pulled up in edible meat and when they served more it was of meagar portions as I assumed they thought we were wasteful but in fact it was just in edible. Service from the guys need addressing.

  • 3/5 K M. 3 years ago on Google
    The service of the staff is was really good the location is centric ando close to the shops.The food is okey the have nice testy about the meet I think the spend to many food we don’t eat I think the system can be just try I little be of the meet and if you liked then give more. Also the meet was good but only one we really enjoy is okey the price and again the staff was very nice en nice

  • 5/5 David M. 3 years ago on Google
    Food was amazing as always staff were fantastic especially with covid 19 restrictions. The atmosphere wasn't the same as before but that is due to covid 19 not the restaurant or staff. Can't wait to go again when we are back to normal.

  • 3/5 Suzana M. 2 years ago on Google
    The pandemic brought a different way to this amazing restaurant that it is definitely not so good as the old way. But it's life as we never seen before and we're just learning how to deal with it. Lush food as always and polite and friendly staff. Always clean and neat. I promise that I will learn to enjoy the new "way" without the salad bar.

  • 5/5 Kiddai 2 years ago on Google
    INCREDIBLE customer service and PROPER food. Meats are beautiful, they slice them in front of you. Really thoughful to customers. Had an anniversary celebration and the management completely fulfilled our requests of making it a surprise party with a surprise item at the end, with the waiters and managers wishing us a happy anniversary, genuine conversations and incredible presence. Could not recommend it enough!!!!

  • 5/5 Alex P. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent food. There is no more salad bar, but all the chosen sides are brought to you. The variety of meat is good and the service is fast (properly to keep up with what is already on your plate).

  • 5/5 Yolie R. 2 years ago on Google
    You will get a variety of meats and side dishes. The meat is cut right at your table. On some of the meats, you can get a second round. Come very hungry and ready to eat.

  • 5/5 Harrison W. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely incredible, some of the best meat you'll taste and there's the perfect meat for everyone. It's an endless meat onslaught and I love it.

  • 5/5 Ra F. 1 year ago on Google
    I visited this place last year while COVID-19 restrictions are still affecting everything. The experience was okay to the point that I couldn’t compare it to Brazilian BBQ in Australia. However, I gave it another go recently and the quality of the food and taste were perfect. I had a very enjoyable experience. The meats, chicken, fish, the pineapple 🍍 and even the side dishes were all amazing. I didn’t take pictures for the food as I didn’t expect to see this strong improvement. I came to conclusion regarding the first experience that the food quality, the taste and the service were all affected negatively and now they are back on track. Highly recommended for Brazilian BBQ Obrigado!!

    This place was by far one of the best places I've ate at. I love it! Food was great, service was excellent! The meats was awesome, hot. Have to visit again!!

  • 5/5 Steph 10 months ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing restaurant. The food was exquisite, and the cocktails were fabulous. I would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking of trying it out.

  • 5/5 Rhys Austin P. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow what an experience literally like the food is out of this world and the staff is phenomenal atmosphere can be loud and crowded but that's expected but also if you are looking for a drunk night out then I recommend it.

  • 5/5 BeaconB 9 months ago on Google
    100% would recommend to anyone going into Cardiff. The food is amazing and the meat is all you can eat so try not to fill up on the all you can eat sides too much. The staff are extremely helpful and and atmosphere is buzzing. Table and chairs need replacing but they are used so much tells you how good the place is.
