I’m familiar with churrascaria in Queens and Newark NJ. We decided to give this place a try. We were very disappointed at the high prices,limited options, and low quality of the overly salted meat. I’m convinced their meat comes from ShopRite. Look elsewhere.

I am so Dissapointed as I have came here in the past and love the experienced. I went with my family for my father’s birthday and we were the only table there. The waiter barely came to ask for how we were doing. The meat came out and hour later and the server was SO RUDE. One worded responses, attitude, mumbled, and avoided eye contact. He could not be bothered with our questions about what each meat was - how would we know ? I was so disappointed- and the cherry on top, all of us got sick…..

We made a reservation for 7:30 pm on 2/24/24, arrive on time. There was no hostes, kept making eye contact with service people, took awhile for someone to greeted us. Restaurant was not busy, there were approximately 5-6 tables.Waitress was definitely stress and we could tell she was annoyed by us. I was a waitress during my collage time, so I am highly empathetic with service people.An hour later 8:35 pm, we were still sitting on the table just with our drinks. I asked the waitress if our food was on its way, which she responded in a very rude and condescending way "well, you ask for Ribeye and that takes a while to cook" I was shocked and answer "a mid-rare cook Ribeye takes long to cook?" by this point I had have it with the bad service which I asked her to bring us the check.We left with a empty stomach and a very bad service taste.

Worst service I have ever had anywhere.We were looking for a place to take the family for my daughter’s birthday, so we decided possibly here, but let’s try it out first. We got to this place, my husband was really hungry, me less. So he got the all-you-can-eat and I got soup and steak for main course. Servers walked around handing out pieces of meat to everyone who ordered the all-you-can-eat, but my husband got nothing. I got my soup and he still got nothing. We asked our server who told us he could start getting food when I got my main course. I told her he was hungry and wanted to eat now. She refused and walked away. We asked several others, and at some point the owner came out, but they still refused to feed him. Even when my soup was done, they still made him wait until my main course was cooked. So when we were done, I wrote on the receipt that it was terrible service and we would not be back. We still left a tip, albeit somewhat less than our usual 20% (we gave 11%).As we were walking to our car the owner came out of the restaurant and started yelling at us at the top of her voice, how she didn’t want us to ever come back and how dare we.I have never heard of anyone yelling at their customers before because of a complaint written on the receipt; that was the straw that made me write this review. Definitely worst customer service ever.

What a beautiful place . Top notch service, delicious food & drink.
Jose and Maria present delicious Brazilian Portuguese cusine in our small town - a true gem! Shrimp appetizer to die for! Their rodizio is outstanding, with fezhoada just like back home. NonTheir palmitas salad and roasted bananas with cheese bread (pom de quezo) are delicious. They make the best caipirinho! Sweet and heady. Desserts are amazing. Enjoy scr7mptious brigadeiro cake with cafezinho al fresco on their patio beside the Musconetcong. On your way out the door, check out their artistic stone bar top - shipped from Brazil. In summary, it is truly a pleasurable dining experience, not to be hurried! Those wishing fast food service can find junky options on the greasy strip.Vegetarian options: Mandioca, palmitos, feijao, collard greens, farofa, black beansKid-friendliness: They have menu items kids like, clean high chairs and kid- friendly staff
Amazing place, we had the rodizio, and everything was delicious. The meat was really tasty ?

This place has drastically declined in service, quality, and overall experience. As long time customers, we chose to dine here recently and were met with huge disappointment. It was the most chaotic and frantic environment for a restaurant establishment with mediocre food at best. Staff were slamming menus, dishware, pacing nervously, and had seemingly lost control over the place. On one occasion, a waiter carried a chair directly above the heads of people who were dining to their utter shock and dismay. We did not receive what we ordered, despite bringing it to staff’s attention multiple times. We were also seated at a table with glass bottles above us that were an imminent hazard to any diner. Beyond sanitary and safety reasons, it was mayhem and far from the cozy, intimate ambiance we had patronized before. We repeatedly tried to address our concerns with management but were dismissed with a simple “sorry”. In fact, our experience was so bad that our waiter declined to accept our tip because there was nothing that could salvage the situation. We regret having given this place our business but we will not make the same mistake twice.

In my opinion this is the best Rodizio restaurant in NJ! Joe (owner) and the staff are friendly, accommodating and attentive. Drinks are top shelf and the meats are delicious. The location is a little small but that adds to the intimacy of the ambiance.

My daughter and husband had the paella. I had steak on the rack. We were 6 of us and were satisfied with plenty of food . I highly recommend this place. Yes, the cost was higher than most but for us it was Christmas Eve and special.
