Brazilian Steakhouse
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.

Not bookable

Online bookings at Avenida Brazil - Woodlands can only be made directly on their website.

    Can't leave a full review of the food and service because I was never seated. Showed up earlier than my reservation, and they didn't have any tables available, which is fair. Came back at my time, and still no tables available as they were still accommodating for earlier reservations. I know it's not the staff's fault for making more reservations than they can accommodate for. I never even received a message that my table was ready, but we decided to eat somewhere else at that point. I would still like to try the restaurant, but until then, this was my experience.

    The food was amazing, The service not so much. Our reservation was for 7:30, we weren’t seated until after 8:15. Our primary waiter pretty much disappeared, only brought one side to the table (4 of us) and we spent the evening waiting for him to show back up. My wife and love this restaurant, but our service was mediocre at best. Just expected them to be better for the $415 bill. Was nothing like our previous visits

    This was just an okay experience. We had a reservation at 7 on Valentines. We weren't seated until 7:30 so beforehand we were told we could get a drink at the bar. The bartender was extremely rude and told us that she wasn't serving anyone at the bar. We ordered drinks with dinner and she couldn't figure out how to make a bourbon and coke and the caipirinha was undrinkable. Save your money, go somewhere else.

    Avenida Brazil - WoodlandsResponded on February 22, 2023Thank you for your review, Melisa. We apologize for the delay in seating and the negative experience you had with our bartender. We will ensure that bartenders are better trained in the future. Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention. We hope you'll give us another chance to serve you in the future.

    We were so disappointed with this visit. We had a reservation for Valentines Day and the entire dinner from start to finish had issues. The server spoke so softly you had to ask him to repeat everything he said, he disappeared for long periods of time and we waited 30 minutes just to get the check. However,when it was time to add the gratuity he could tell us quite clearly how sorry he was that the service was “a bit slower” than normal and that the restaurant was understaffed and he was not to blame. In addition to the service, the servers who brought the food selections around only visited the side of the restaurant we were sitting on a total of 7 times in the two hours we were there. You could hear every other table also complaining that you had to wait and repeatedly ask to have selections brought over. And even then if you didn’t want what was offered, nothing else was coming anytime soon. The salad bar was very good and it you liked the limited choices that were available the food was good.

    Nice atmosphere and the service was good. But the salad bar was very disappointing compared with other Brazilian steakhouses I’ve been to. Also, they tried to charge us for two full meals instead of one full meal and just one salad bar, and my server didn’t believe me when I told him i didn’t have any meat. I had to explain that I’ve been vegetarian for 25 years before he adjusted the bill!

    Service with the meats was absolutely slow. We felt like we were in a forgotten corner. The food was excellent. When we asked for a few specific items, it took a very long time to get them.
