Avenida Brazil stays true to the foundations of the traditional Brazilian churrascaria. We offer a world class upscale dining experience with several of the finest cut meats, amazing side dishes, desserts and a full bar that includes red & white wines from across the globe.

The experience is split up into two parts

Part 1: Salad Bar - After being seated, guests can help themselves to our gourmet salad bar stocked with more than 30 fresh items.

Part 2: Meat - At each of our seats, we include a coaster with a red side and a green side. Once back at their table, guests can start signaling our gauchos (meat servers) by flipping over the coaster to the red side. This indicates that the guest is ready to enjoy the 13+ succulent meats, which include lamb, beef, chicken, and fish. As an accent to the meat, we provide five delicious side dishes.

    My niece is a meat lover, so Avenida Brazil was a logical choice for her birthday dinner. Service was friendly and attentive, albeit slightly clunky. The salad bar was nice, though I miss the shiitake mushrooms (there were standard button mushrooms instead.) The meats were a mixed bag: my fav offerings, garlic beef and beef rib, were PERFECT. The house special picanha was delicious, as well. But the sirloin and ribeye were under seasoned. The shrimp was under seasoned, as well, but the salmon was perfect. Overall, the meal was satisfying, and I may even host an event in the private space soon. I’m considering it.

    MC, Thank you for choosing Avenida Brazil for your niece's birthday celebration! We're glad you found us a fitting choice for a meat lover's special day. We appreciate your detailed feedback. It's great to hear you enjoyed our garlic beef, beef rib, and picanha - we take pride in these signature dishes. We're also pleased you found the salmon perfect and the salad bar nice. It's wonderful that you're considering hosting an event in our private space. We'd be honored to help create another memorable experience for you and your guests. Thank you again for your thoughtful review. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

    Very disappointed! Food was blah. I was under the impression Avenida Brazil was on the same level of Fogo de Cho. Sadly mistaken. First and last visit.

    The service here was outstanding, never had a moment where they would come by with something and even asked if we wanted anything and if we did they would send the person over who had it to serve you. However, for me all the meats served had way too much salt on them, now I personally do not care for salt being overbearing on anything but my Son and his family who dined with me seemed to enjoy the meat and all other dishes without any trouble at all. So guess if you enjoy a little more salt than I can handle you too will enjoy the food here.
    Avenida Brazil - WoodlandsResponded 7 days ago
    James, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback with us. We're thrilled to hear that our service left such a positive impression on you! Our team takes pride in ensuring every guest feels well-attended to throughout their meal. We appreciate your honesty about the salt levels in our meats. While we aim to create bold, flavorful dishes that appeal to a variety of palates, we understand that personal preferences vary. It's great to hear that your son and his family enjoyed their meals, but we take your feedback to heart. Thank you again for dining with us and for your valuable feedback. We hope to see you and your family again soon!

    Most the meats were moist and tender. The pork ribs were very dry and the bottom sirloin was a bit dry as well. The deserts were mediocre. The Brazilian coffee was cold and not enjoyable.
    Avenida Brazil - WoodlandsResponded 7 days ago
    Hi Darryl, Thanks for your detailed feedback. We're glad you enjoyed most of our meats. We're sorry to hear about the dry ribs and sirloin - that's not our usual standard. We'll look into improving our desserts and ensuring our Brazilian coffee is served hot. Your input helps us enhance our offerings. We hope you'll give us another chance to impress you.

    The service was excellent and food was very good. My only complaint is that the meat options were very few compared to what we expected. We only got maybe 4 different cuts of meat served to us. Salad bar was excellent.
