Thanks for reading my review! I hope it helps! The food was great, but they overbooked. I've never waited 45 minutes for a table with a reservation.
The place itself was clean and the servers were outstanding as was the food. The ladies room was lacking soap in one of two dispensers as well as paper towels in one of two dispensers. That is a huge problem!
They did have gloves for people to use for the salad bar, I think I was the only one that used them haha. The salad bar itself I would say really sucked. There was some wilted, lettuce and basic veggies to make a salad. I'm used to Brazilian steakhouses that have a whole spread with fruit and hot side dishes and cold side dishes and salad fixings. The salad bar itself was disappointing.
There are a few menu items you can select including a boatload of meat, a medium amount of meat and the works, which is the one that includes the salad bar. I would recommend just getting an all meat menu option and eating salad at home before.
I spent $240 for three people. That's with drinks and 20% tip and the "full experience" menu option. I would say it was worth it this one time only because my dad loves meat and potatoes and it was Father's Day :-). But I won't go again unless I eat salad before and I will not buy the $50 boatload of meat, full experience. I'll just get the meat only and tell my friends to eat some lettuce before haha.
The worst part was the host and him not knowing how to seat people in an orderly fashion as well as overbooking like I said. It was a total mess. I was a hostess for a few years, it's not for everyone! It certainly wasn't for this guy. He had a great smile but he sucked at his job.
I would recommend only going for weekend lunch or during the week nights when it is not crowded. Definitely don't go when it's going to be busy!
If you are a vegetarian I would definitely not go here. Remember the salad bar sucks. And if you're concerned about germs (and cross contamination of meat and vegetables) being spread from people to people, I would not go here. Some of the servers would slide the meat off the skewers and the skewer tip would touch the customer's plate. So if they had cooties, the next person who got food off the skewer would also have cooties.
Sorry it's so long, getting points for my Google reviews and hope this is thorough and helps you make an...
Read moreCan I give six stars please? Brazeiros Brazilian Steakhouse is my absolute favorite upscale restaurant in Knoxville. We went to dinner there a couple of times and held my daughter's bridesmaids' luncheon there in 2012. My husband I went for a special occasion last night and had an excellent meal.
Dinner is not cheap. We paid $44.95 for all the meats. Plus drinks, tax and tip and feel it was worth it. There are different levels of pricing depending on if you want salad bar only or if you want chicken. The each come with unlimited sides.
The sides are polenta, caramelized bananas, garlic mashed potatoes and delightful cheese filled rolls. You can request black beans and rice and forofa - a Brazilian dish of toasted cassava.
They give you a little card when you are seated. One side is red and the other green. Help yourself to the salad bar first. Toppings include a few of the traditional cucumbers, tomatoes etc. But, also thinly sliced salami, hearts of palm, smoked salmon etc.(All items are in individually wrapped fingertip bowls right now).
The magic starts when you finish the salad and flip that little card to green. That's when the sides and gauchos start appearing with large chunks of skewered meat that they serve at your table. Use the tongs you're given to remove each slice as it is cut.
You can expect leg of lamb, several sirloin of different seasonings, chicken wrapped in bacon, pork ribs, sausages, filet mignon, lamb chops and more. You can request if you want one in particular and missed it or wait until it comes around again.
Turn the card to red when you want to take a break. They will also bring you a fresh clean plate at any time. Turn the card to green to restart the process.
The servers work together to provide you with excellent service. Empty plates are quickly removed and replaced. Last night our tea glasses never approached empty. They deftly remove crumbs from the white tablecloth with a very small special tool even.
We have never had reason to skimp on the tip at less than 20% or more. This isnt casual dining. Tips are shared and the service is...
