This restaurant is fabolous! My recommendation is to go really hungry and try to focus on the meat and not too much in the salad bar. The beef and pork are delicious, it almost melts in your mouth! The waiters are very friendly and they work in team, this means you can order what you want to any of them... More

Food was amazing, service was amazing, very reasonably priced. We went for the lunch buffet. Wonderful salad bar. ( I loved the salad!!! And I hate salad). Staff showed us how the buffet worked. Salad first then main course. They work on a red/ green disc system. If your disc is green, they keep on bringing you meat. So turn... More

Recently ate here while at a Dental Convention. Loved the lamb and the bananas(ask for condensed milk to drizzle on top of bananas,mmmm) Salad bar is great with tons of great selections, can get crowded, but moves along fast. Lemonade is fantastic and creamy like a sherbet float. This is meat lovers heaven. The ribs were a bit dry, but... More

If you like meat, this is your place. The steak just keeps coming. And Chicken, and pork, and lamb. It was all very good. The salad bar was large and everything was fresh. The staff was very attentive and we never had a need that went unmet. The restrooms were filthy, but that is the only complaint I have about... More

A rare treat of the most delicious Brazilain open-pit barbequed meats of every kind, as well as a sumptuous salad bar. The service was extraordinarily good.

If you love red meat, this is your destination. Good steak in many varieties and an awesome salad bar with several exotic quality touches; how often are Hearts of Palm the size of a banana served at a salad bar? My major complaint with this restaurant is the fact that you are endlessly interrupted. As opposed to a typical restaurant... More

We offered to take new friends to dinner and they chose this place. They had only been there once and were guests of others then as well so I think they had no clue what it cost. Well for four people to eat it is a set price of nearly $50 each. The only drinks we ordered were three sodas... More

Heard lots of good things about it, the meat was tasty but the lamb was off. I just made it in the mens room and vomited the entire meal. Manager took care of the bill, but something is wrong. The waitstaff was polite and eager to please.

Had a girl's weekend in San Antonio and ate here one of the nights. The service was very good and the food was really good also. A ton of food so make sure you are hungry! :-) Loved the salad bar.
