Espetus Churrascaria Reviews

Espetus is a feast! Dinning at this place is an experience that everyone should try at least once in their life. Picanha and the black beans with pork are the best!

This place has better prepared steaks than the newer Fogo. It uses charcoal. The ambiance is relaxed. The salad bar was recently upgraded and the rice and beans are as good as in Brazil.

Good and fun experience. But when all said and done, it's vastly overpriced.

Excellent spot to have something when in a hurry. Their service is swift, prices are convenient, good atmosphere. I highly recommend this spot.

Great service, excellent food and the restaurant was spotless. The crispy pork belly is to die for. I will definitely be back.

This churrascaria will leave you wondering how long will it take till you are back for more. The dent in your pocket is absolutely justified.

Fantastic Brazilian, great quality buffet bar and the meat was outstanding. You absolutely must try the pork belly and save room for dessert if you can !

Enjoyed a great dinner with my husband. The host was friendly and professional. The restaurant was busy considering it was a Saturday evening. Been to a lot of restaurants and hands down the tuna tar tare was one of the best! very fresh and tasty. attentive service. Our dinner was delicious its a breath of fresh air coming here there's not a lot of good resultants in Carlsbad and this is definitely a place you'll love to stop at! :) you won't regret it

Fantastic service and amazing food. The pork belly was crispy and light and one of the steak cuts had a smoky almost citrus marinade, just amazing! The salad was soo good, lots of options. I specially loved the chicken stroganoff, creamy and delicious. We absolutely loved this restaurant and can t wait to visit San Francisco again to go to it again!

Went here for dinner the other night and wow, just wow. It was my first time at an all you can eat steak house. All of the meats and (sides) were amazing. Friendly staff and environment. I'm already planning on coming back.

My favorites were the shrimp, garlic steak, bacon wrapped filet mignon & chicken...

This place was heavenly, it was also pricey, but worth every penny. It's a +1 to my fogo de chau experiences. Certainly will go here again. Great meat, great service great everything. You do get what you pay for.

This is the best Brazilian bbq place in San Francisco, great authentic food with a wonderful choice of meats.

Very good roasts from brazil, the buffet is excellent

This is a meat lovers dream!! The service is excellent and the food is delicious, it has a very authentic feel to it and the location is perfect for someone who wants to explore downtown after dinner!! Price is pretty expensive but you get what you pay for!!

Wow, this was a great choice. Just fantastic. No one in our group had anything negative to say. I tried 5 of the more than a dozen meat choices and they were all amazing, perfectly done. The sides bar had some really tasty choices, the staff was attentive. I've tried some of the well-known steak houses here in SF but none of them are as good as this. This is a special place.

Brazilian barbecue in San Francisco. A great experience. The food is excellent and the service is great.

If you like a little bit of everything, this is your place. My favorite was the tri-tip, which was so tender and flavorful. The Purim (flan) was delicious, as well. No lamb at lunch, however, so I must go again for dinner.

brazilian food, super tasty. the service here is above par. prices are decent for the quality. i can see why they have so many reviews.

Had a dinner with a brazilian friend here and he was really enjoying it.This was as brazlian as it gets. They even had the traditional black beans with pork and sausages. Highly recommended!

My first time there it was nice the waitstaff was very attentive and the food was delicious!

One of my favorite places for delicious Brazilian food. i love it here. the staff was very kind and attentive. bring your hunger - portions are generous.

Absolutely marvelous Dinning this location is very special and the service was amazing!

Great meat selection, the service was pleasant and friendly. The lamb was delicious.

if you have the $$$ to pay down here, it is worth it. Come on an empty stomach, save room for the amazing parmesan rolls, and don't forget the grilled pineapple for digestion help! You will need it after all that amazing meat!

Unless you're Takeru Kobayashi or you're training for some IFOCE contest, you will want to carefully consider a strategy before going into this experience:

1) Gorge myself with food and try to beat the 15-20 minute mark where the stomach begins to feel sensations of fullness.
2) Find a favorite meat and continually ask for it while eating slowly.

One would think the second strategy would be best, but the guachos tend to take their sweet time coming around during busy hours and you might only get 3 chances in a 2 hour stretch for a particular meat. The ribeye tends to be the most popular. In addition, the last time I visited my party was actually asked to leave around the 2 hour mark so they WILL usher you out if you try to make a third and fourth meal out of one sitting. If you're popping your Espetus cherry, then I'd say go for strategy 1, but beware I was completely knocked out within 5 minutes of leaving the food restaurant.

The degree to which the meats are cooked are very inconsistent so I've been told if you go earlier in the night they tend to cook things to the more medium rare side while the late evening crowd will enjoy over-cooked skewers.

Vacant street parking can get a little hard to find in the area, so plan accordingly.

Had an reservation, arrived early, was placed in the walk in queue, so wasn't seated until a hour later and a conversation with a manager. Although the servers were walking around with the steaks they were ALL cooked rare, with extensive waits for anything else

All you can eat steak house? You bet. The meat that comes around is really good. The salad bar is forgettable, but that's not a reason to miss this restaurant.
