I've never been to a Brazilian-style steakhouse but have heard great things. Are they really that good?

Question

Beef on a sword looks delicious!!!

Answer 1

If you're a major carnivore with a huge appetite they're fun.  But the amount of meat is overwhelming and is only good if you go to an upscale Brazilian style steakhouse.  Too many of them are Sizzler quality meat, with too much food and not the real thing.

Answer 2

I lived and worked in Brazil for about 6 months...the churrascuria (sorry, sp) was one of our favourite places to go eat.  food was fabulous....and oh yeah, go hungry.  One big meat-fest.

You get to find out, taste testing, in a single evening ...tenderloin vs. rib-eye, vs. pork, vs...you name it.

There's one here in Birmingham, MI...but I haven't gone yet.

Answer 3

OH yes, they are very good.  I recommend... don't be tricked into eating the lighter fare!  These places make you walk through a fabulous salad bar and various carb accoutrements before you sit and wait for your meat on a sword... but, resist!  Start with the meat and eat all you can.  Then, take a look at the salad bar -- (to be polite) but this is only for exercise as you do a few laps before returning to your table for dessert:  filet mignon wrapped in bacon.  Enjoy!

Answer 4

If you love meat they are amazing.  My friends and I would go to one at lunch time and then just stay there til dinner.  Sooo great... soo fulll...

Answer 5

They are awesome if you like trying different types of meat.  Go Hungry

Answer 6

They are awesome, make sure you come hungry :>):>)

Answer 7

Yeah, they are awesome if you like meat! They just opened one here where I live called Tento Churrascaria, I have been there a few times so far. I like how they set up a bar with salad, and all of the starches, and then all of the waiters come around with like 100 different meats and you can try all different ones. It is a nice variety...

Answer 8

all you can eat meat. and sometimes they wear cool outfits. can't beat that.
