Delicious Brazilian Food! They know how to cook meat exactly the way you like it. You can even ask to remove the fat from the meat if prefer not eating the gooey part of the meat.

We went in on a mission to have a quick bite & we weren't disappointed! They're selections were varied & had very good wine options to have with the steak we ate. We managed to eat a delicious meal in under 30 minutes . Even for a Sunday they were quite busy but still managed to service the line of people quickly. They were very kind & sweet when recommending wine to order from the Bar. Definitely coming back here with the family!

This Brazilian buffet boasts a large selection of different kinds of dishes. There's even a grilling section where there are different types of barbecued meat that's perfectly cooked and sliced up in front for you. The buffet is by the pound and it's so easy to stack that plate as everything looks extremely delicious and is!!! There's steak, chicken, and pork that was very tender, oxtail that I liked, and different vegetable and meat dishes, and a salad bar, also beautiful tasty desserts and a huge selection of beverages. You pay first before you eat it and no worries about the bill. You do have to stand in line with your meal to pay though, which it's a bit hard to get the drink and juggle a plate of food. So plan accordingly. I really enjoyed their delicious buffet and I highly recommend it. Definitely a must try and I promise, you will be full when you leave.

If you are in the mood for great steak buffet or take out style, this is the best spot to go to. It gets extremely busy but there is a great selection of food whether its the cold bar/ salad or the hot food. Be prepared to spend 20 for a takeout since they go by lbs. It get’s extremely busy after 5pm so be prepared to circle the block.
