A coworker recommended this place. I treated 2 coworkers to lunch. Selection was very fresh. Register girl was friendly. The food was delicious. They do weigh your food for takeout so bring some coins. 3 people cost me $50. But it was worth it!

So much delicious food and the price isn't bad at all. $35 came with the all you can eat buffet and a wide variety of meats served to the table. The drinks and desserts were great too!

A hidden gem. it is a small umassuming place....different from ither pricey churraskaria i've enjoyed before. We drove far to try them out and wasnt dissapointed. wend kust before dinner time and the lunch selection was still available and delicious. you can either to a $8 per pound buffet or an all you can it choice for $30. the staff are knowledgeable and very courteous. my kids had the per pound servings while the adults dug into the all you can eat. gtray choice. they marinate the meats well and the olace is inpecably clean. my whole family love it. we will be back.

Took a trip to CT to help a friend and decided to try the rodizio in the area. Called to find out when it ended, and the gentleman who answered was very helpful and gave us good advice to show up early. When we arrived it was empty, maybe 2 families, than about ten minutes later is started to get packed. Our waitress came over and explained tonuse how rodizio worked, including how to signal when to start, take a break, or stop the meat from coming to the table by using the colored wood block on our table. So you order a drink than go to the buffet table that is included. They have a good variety
