    After reading some reviews had some hesitation however we went and were in heaven! This place is a great and for a visiting friend that spent a lot of time in Brazil….it was the whole experience all over again for her - thank you 🙏 The staff were all lovely and attentive and always smiling and pleasant. There were some great offerings for the all you can eat menu and just a warning - take your time, experience small portions and try everything! There will always be more offered most definitely. Try the rump, it’s the best and can’t let the pork ribs go past! The place has a great atmosphere and vibe and was busy. A wonderful experience and will most definitely be back - if your in town and want an authentic experience, then give this a crack! Highly recommend you book in for this one 👍

    Just a few comments from a grill chef. First of all service was amazin. At least 3 different person asked me if everything is ok, if I am happy and if I want to try any special cut.. I had a chance to try 7-8 different cuts. Meat was good. Service is so fast. I loved grilled pineapple and deep fried banana. But for me champion of the night was potatoe pure. Very delicious potatoe and perfect ingredients balance. After I finished I had a chance to talk to chef. He was so friendly. Definitely highly recommended 🎯 Happily left tip. Please do that when u had good service/products so they can keep doing it. Well done guys👍 Australia needs more businesses like you.

    Our party of 3 attended on Friday night at 6pm. We had the buffet where staff walk around with sticks of meat and if you want some, they slice it there onto your plate. They give you a token you place in front of you that indicates if you want more or flip it over to indicate you are taking a break. The food was excellent. The delivery was really good and constant meaning we got full way too quickly then we thought we would (not necessarily a bad thing!). Drinks service was prompt too. Staff were excellent, very friendly and attentive. They provided a great atmosphere and experience. We also had the pleasure of some samba dancing whilst we ate. Highly recommend visiting.

    Visited to celebrate the start of the new year. For some reason it was reservation only so we made one but was surprised to see the shop pretty empty when we arrived. Food was honestly great, would love it if there was dips as some of the meats felt a little dry. Would definitely recommend a visit here.

    Great meat and a good variety. Sides were also free. The staff were friendly, and the restaurant had a good atmosphere. Loved trying crocodile for the first time. Once the meat started going around, it was consistent. You will not leave here hungry, you may not feel hungry again for days. I thought the value was good for the experience.

    Could barely eat any of the food, all the meat was dry and over salted. The same type of chicken was used in 3 of the dishes with the only change being the sauce. The garlic seasoned items were way overpowered with the garlic flavour. All 4 people who I was dining with barely ate any of the food. It was a shame we had to pay 240$ between the 4 of us for such awful food. I certainly wouldn’t recommend coming to this restaurant.

    Food was decent. A lot of the meat was tough and came out really slowly. Only a few good cuts of meats was good. Sides were pretty generous and tasty though. Had some good beers on tap as well. Wouldn’t come back but might recommend to try once if you’re in the area.

    WOW. After reading one of these google reviews about how a lady wanted to show off her culture to her friends but found this place unauthentic, I thought I'd give this place a miss because I was wanting to show my partner my culture and didn't want her experience BUT OMG SO SO HAPPY WE WERE ABLE TO GET A RESERVATION!!! Quickly found out that everything in SP will need a reservation and they were able to get us a table for 2 1/2 hours later which was so amazing, I thought we were going to have to get mcdonalds 😪 the customer service is everything here, so kind and helpful staff. Atmosphere is unreal! Very fast paced which gave the place a really good vibe. And the food... we are thinking of going back again tonight!! All you can eat & everything is so tasty and fresh. Was able to get a photo but did not do the place justice!! This place exceeded my expectations and I will definitely be visiting again before we leave & tell everyone I know about this place when I get back home!!! Outstanding experience!!!

    Hi guys! We came to the restaurant with the highest expectations as it is highly rated on Google. However, we are really disappointed about what this Brazilian “all you can eat” have to offer: we had bypassed several times when other tables were served (our tag was still green), the speed of the delivery wasn’t good, some of the meat cuts were dry. In summary: it’s overpriced and not an authentic Brazilian all you can eat. You will find better options in the area for the same price.

    I love this place! If you like all the meats, including an almost endless supply of crocodile, kangaroo, pork, beef, chicken and lamb and then churros, ice cream, jelly, caramel sauce and the best chilli chicken, then this hidden gem is where to find it! The servers are great and have wonderful personalities! Thank you all for a great dinner! X

    We went there for dinner as we could smell the BBQ from our hotel over several days. You have to be very hungry as you get hit with plenty of food and can be overwhelming. You choose your sides which a plentyful but pace you self as there's plenty of staff going around with plates and skewers of different meats & chicken, also desert is included .We enjoyed our weekend visit more as we had a wider variety of meat than the weekday visit which didn't deliver the same experience. Still I would highly recommend this place ,great value for money and the staff were super friendly and accommodating to our dietary needs.

    It started off with great service, we were offered a few sides. Many cuts of meat for the first 20 minutes. Then it suddenly stopped. Which was unfortunate if you didn't eat much at in the beginning. So decided to order a few extra sides as the meat stopped being served. Never came. Tried to get waitress attention, ignored many times. Thought, what's the use. Will just order dessert and leave. Finally got a waitresses attention, waited, then dessert never turned up, then a waiter came to ask us to basically leave they needed the table. Which was odd as there was still many tables available. Said we were waiting on desserts. He went off to order desserts, Dessert was not what we ordered. So a couple of us just ate the tiny bowl of vanilla icecream & left. As a person who has worked in the hospitality business for many years, I can understand there will be mistakes here & there. But this was terrible service.

    Booked here for a family birthday and it was one of the best places I’ve been to on the Coast. Excellent value for money per person and we left feeling very full and satisfied. My kids are big meat eaters and they ate most of/if not tried all the food on the menu including crocodile. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, the ambience is really cool with the Brazilian dancers interacting with the kids and dancing. Big PLUS for me. The service is great using the stop and go system (you get a coin coloured thing with red and green) meaning you can pause service or request for service for more food when you flip it over etc The cocktails are delicious, I had the margaritas 😍so good! The sides are pretty small so when ordering, multiple sides are needed as it’s almost tapas style side dishes. Highly recommend this place! Great, fast service and it’s great value for money for those who can eat a lot 😆Also the round bread things are just so good! Also happy the dessert was included because the churros were tasty 👌

    What a great experience! Ate here while visiting the Gold Coast and my partner purchased a special offer for this restaurant. Amazing cuts of meat cooked to perfection and great wait service from the lovely staff. Tried quite a few things I’d never had before that I loved including fried banana and grilled pineapple, which tasted so good and served as a great sweet spot between the different meats. Exceptional value for money. Would definitely come back here when visiting the area again.

    Wow. This place is amazing and worth the visit. Hard to find an all you can eat these days let alone a restaurant that loves what they do and serves delicious food. The staff were very interactive not just with the kids, but all customers which gave the restaurant that feel good environment and atmosphere. I wish there was a place like this back at home, because this is worth the trip. 10/10 could not fault at all and will be talking about this for a very long time.

    Needs more waiter staff. Have been here twice now and both times our side of chips came out cold. Asked for tomato sauce 4 times to 4 different waiters and was finally given to us 30 minutes later. The food is great and atmosphere is great. Good value for money, however they cannot cater proper customer service for the amount of patrons they accept. However, the waiters that are serving the BBQ are lovely, fun and entertaining.

  • 5/5 Steve D. 5 months ago on Google
    Traveled from Southern California. My son go to experience kangaroo and liked it! We had a great time, everyone was friendly. Only regret is that we should have paced ourselves. Lots of different red meats came out first. We were to stuffed by the time or belly and spare ribs were introduced. I suggest that you mix it up.

  • 5/5 Bill A. 6 months ago on Google
    Meat meat and more meat. Excellent service from all wait staff making sure we had enough for the kids as well as adults even if the token was turned to red. A bit on the pricey side at $60 for adults compared to a steakhouse but the range of different meats plus it’s all you can eat makes up for it. Kids under 12 are only $20 so we as a family or 4 with one 12 & 16 year old was $200. Definitely a place to go at least once in your life. Don’t be like one review I read here….he took his vegetarian wife then complained about the lack of menu options and left a one star review. 😂🤷‍♂️

  • 4/5 Colin P. 5 months ago on Google
    Meat in a skewer, open flame bbq style. This is a very popular venue. I suggest Maria booking for evenings. A variety of meat on offer. Pork. Chicken, Lamb and beef. $59 per person, eat as much as you like. Staff are very friendly. Service great. In the heart of Surfers.

  • 5/5 Stacey C. 5 months ago on Google
    Wow! How amazing is this hidden gem in Surfers?!? Feed your inner carnivore on all the meats, including crocodile. The desserts were definitely different than Aussie cuisine but equally as impressive as the meat! The drinks are well worth the $. And those staff members - cheeky, informative and so friendly.

  • 5/5 Alicia B. 10 months ago on Google
    The best all you can eat i’ve ever been to. The food and the service are worth the price. If you don’t eat with your party, they let you in with no charge. If you’re vegetarian, you can have all the sides and vegetarian mains (the food they walk around with) for just over half the price, which is amazing and makes everyone feel welcomed. We usually bring our own drinks and it’s no issue, which is such a good thing. The staff are super nice (and have a little bit of an attitude that’s playful and makes the whole thing seem so casual and comfortable). The whole experience was amazing and i’d definitely do it again. 10/10.

  • 5/5 Danny H. 11 months ago on Google
    OMG! What ever you do, don't eat all day before dinning here. What and amazing place for the whole family to spend a real feast together 😁 We sampled most of what was on offer, on our menu and 99% of it was really good. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would totally recommend this place and when I recover from the protein overload, we will be returning next time we're on the Gold Coast. Thanks team for a wonderful experience 👍

  • 5/5 Jenifer Z. 11 months ago on Google
    This was the best food experience I have had! We were seated, given the table advice and then it started… food was NON STOP! The food was so delicious. We had to pause like 2 or 3 times. Went home almost exploding! The food was really cheap too. The whole experience was great!!

  • 5/5 Ari B. 9 months ago on Google
    Food: The food was absolutely delicious and the servers were very prompt with bringing the meats around. Side orders also arrived very quickly and were hot, delicious and generous in size. Service: The service was probably the best I've ever experienced. The staff were very attentive, they didn't miss a beat when taking large orders of side dishes for our table of 9. They were fast, friendly and checked in regularly to ensure we were taken care of. Towards the end of our dinner they asked if we were cold and offered blankets which is not something I've experienced before but with it being winter and having young children it was a very nice touch. 10/10 would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Andy C. 10 months ago on Google
    Came here expecting the irradiado Brazilian buffet experience but this place was a little better. They had marinated ribs, really cool sides and all you can eat dessert😱 The staff were friendly, really nice atmosphere over looking Surfers. But it's a once a year experience or you'll put on a few pounds ha!

  • 3/5 Catherine Naomi N. 10 months ago on Google
    After hesitation from reading the reviews, and wanting to try this place out for a while, I finally jumped the gun and gave this spot a go! Overall I would have to give this spot three stars. First of all I found the restaurant to be way too crowded especially for servers to be walking around with knives and meat, surely it's a hazard for both customers and workers. Secondly wait times started to get ridiculous. I waited almost 20 minutes for my drink to arrive, and when it did the ice had melted and the top was watered down. I was very disappointed. Considering drinks were an extra cost on top of the AYCE price, I thought it would be quick. My mother had a margarita and it wasn't good, it wasn't amazing that she didn't end up finishing it. It was really difficult to also get the attention of the servers to order more drinks or even ask for sugar syrup or anything to make the margarita taste better. Added to that, as soon as we sat down, we ordered our sides and some tomato sauce and bbq sauce, it took so long for it to arrive. It wasn't a pleasant experience to say the least, especially when majority of the meats offered weren't seasoned so well and dry. I wish tables had salt and pepper, or if there was a condiment station for customers to get their own condiments. In the past I've been Brazilian bbq restaurants in Indonesia and Singapore, and they've always had section for Bain Marie style side dishes and condiments, maybe after a pandemic Bain Marie wouldn't be too hygienic, but a condiment station would be a great addition in my opinion with tomato, bbq, sweet chilli and sriracha sauces. Another good idea would be little baskets with plastic for the disposal of wing bones as we had so many chicken wings. The highlights for me were the Brazilian cheese bread, fried bananas with ice cream and the chimmichurri sauce which came at the end of dinner(probably would've made dinner taste better and given this review 4 stars) I don't think I would be visiting this restaurant again any time soon after my experience.

  • 5/5 Oanh P. 1 year ago on Google
    Service here was great. Paola our waitress was very lovely and checked constantly if there was anything we needed. Carlos who served the meats was very attentive and ensured I got the the cuts and parts of meat that I liked and how I liked it. Food came out very quickly and I was completely full. Meat was seasoned on the salty side but I love salty foods so it was perfect. Highly recommended. Everyone was so nice, food was great and it was an overall fantastic experience!

  • 1/5 Alvin K. 1 year ago on Google
    I was actually looking forward to try this restaurant for the longest time. As much as I would love to recommend it, the food quality is really sub par and below average. Let’s start with the service. They were mostly efficient and most willing to cater to your request. The sides orders came fast within a couple of minutes. However, the star of the show (the meat) was a major letdown. Most meats are over cooked and dry and does not have a hint of meat juice. Even if you have requested a cut that looks reddish, the meat tastes dry and not juicy. Most of the churrascarias that I have tried does not have meat that taste like this, and I have tried churrascarias in many counties in Asia. With this, please do not visit this restaurant unless they improve on the cooking of their meats.

  • 5/5 Chan H. 2 years ago on Google
    Don't listen to the bad reviews. Not true, the foods here are the best. I loved the smoked BBQ ribs and their lamb sausages are also tasty. I recommend not ordering the sides until you done with the meat 🍖 as we end up not eating them. Family if 4, 2 kids and 2 adults. The desert are also good. Value for money meals and we went home with a full stomach of delicious foods. ^_^
