Head here starving, as waiters roam the room with unlimited amounts of skewered meats. It's hard to resist endless amounts of steak, pork belly, lamb, chicken sausage, and more. Read more

The salad bar is great, but remember you didn't choose Espetus for a salad. Save room on your plate for the feast many only dream about. The chicken hearts are very tasty - try everything!

The food is great! Make sure you come hungry. The salad bar is delicious. However, I was not impressed with their desserts. You pay around $50 per person and you eat as much as you can :) enjoy

Everything here is superb. So don’t make the mistake of filling up at the salad bar. Save all the room for the meat. Why spend all that money to fill up on salad and pasta?

You cannot go wrong with unlimited meat. Everything tasted amazing and the variation was very impressive comparing to the other Brazilian steakhouses that I've been to before

Best place to eat in San Francisco. Great service too! Just make sure to bring your wallet cause it gets a bit expensive at around $50 a person.

They’ve got the meats! Staff was friendly and make sure you get your veggies from the buffet along with the meat.

The service is excellent. Enjoy their great salad bar but leave some room for the great selection of beef. PS. DO get grilled pineapple. It's perfect after you have several pieces of meat.
Michael ChangJanuary 15, 2013
Salad bar is excellent (I recommend the guac), but leave plenty of room for the ribs, sirloin, and the grilled pineapple!

All you can eat (AYCE) Brazillian Steak House! Great for lunch and dinner. The pineapple is only served on weekend and for dinner.

Amazing service here. I'm a vegetarian and I came here with a group and the staff were all very friendly and accommodating.
Dionysis ZindrosOctober 20, 2013
Excellent meat, excellent service. Don't waste time on the salads. A bit expensive, but it's all-you-can-eat.
Lisette BetsingerAugust 24, 2014
It's delicious, but pacing is key. Don't fill up on salad and the fried bananas before the real feast begins. You will regret so much.
Carina AndersenMarch 25, 2015
Meat meat and even more delicious meat. Pretty authentic. A shot of cachaça for dessert will save you from your food coma.
Cristián SepúlvedaAugust 11, 2014
Ask directly for a fresh picanha, then you'll understand why South Americans don't like American meat options that much ;)

All the meat you can eat. It's cheaper mon-fri at lunch. You have to ask for a caipirinha!
BourbonautJune 14, 2018
They have an excellent whisk(e)y selection here.
Chungwoo HwangNovember 16, 2013
Great place for meat lovers. Don't forget to try Caipirinha as they are really refreshing!!!
Loke Uei TanMarch 17, 2014
Don't have too much salad or sides and save your tummy for the delicious meats
ErinMay 2, 2013
ENDLESS amount of amazing meat. Be prepared for a food coma and...meat sweats. All good things.
Sam RNovember 24, 2011
If you like meat and you leave here hungry there is something wrong with you. The meats are all amazing and they just keep coming.
Tommy GaetaJanuary 20, 2013
A meat circus. In a good way. Also an incredible wine list - especially the malbecs!
DonaldFebruary 2, 2012
Love the food. Definitely come her hungry. Red means stop I am done and green means keep it coming (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

As a Brazilian I can say that this place is the closest it can get to authentic Brazilian barbecue in the Bay Area.
Joseph YamsanoodleJuly 4, 2015
Don't be afraid to try something different. And always be courteous to the waiters.
James TOctober 28, 2014
Experiment at first, and then focus on your favorite meats. Best bang for your buck.
James TOctober 28, 2014
Salad bar is pretty good, too. Not enough to satisfy a vegetarian, but a good pairing to all the meat.
Stewart AlsopApril 26, 2011
Try the Brazilian BBQ - This was flank steak. We didn't eat it, but the meat was outstanding and my blood is now thrumming with protein!
Jessica TaylorSeptember 19, 2014
Worth the price. Good choices of meat and salad bar has many options.
Chloe FanAugust 25, 2014
To pace yourself, turn the table marker to red frequently, and ask for smaller meat portions. We didn't, and ended up finishing our dinner in half an hour.
Nalinee ApisiridejFebruary 13, 2014
Sirloin and Filet Mignon are the best..pair with French Cabernet Sauvignon
Ron LeshemApril 26, 2010
Do yourself a favor and try the passion fruit mousse for desert. I know it's hard to think about desert in a place like this, but try - you can do it!
Alan CortesMarch 10, 2011
best brazilian in San Francisco, love the cheese bread, the sald bar is awesome, I will come back for sure
Fabiola VillasenorJanuary 4, 2011
I never eat breakfast or lunch when I go to Espetus because I all the food I need for the day is under one roof....this roof!
Nebojsa RadovicJuly 3, 2014
The food is spectacular but expect to spend at least $60 per person.
Yejin YooJuly 28, 2013
Meat lovers unite. No words needed. If you consider yourself a carnivore you better try this place.
Hope FrankJuly 18, 2013
Choose a few items - most excellent - quality no need to go for quantity --
Sara SlatterySeptember 23, 2012
Don't waste you're time at the salad bar, you're gonna have plenty of delicious meat coming.
Fabricio BuzetoJanuary 24, 2013
Ask for Guaraná Antártica soda. This is the true flavor from Brazil

Get your meat here with a side of meat. (Also comes with meat)
Jeff ThorntonMarch 15, 2013
Amazing food! Cone here ready to eat!
Ilana TelesMay 30, 2012
Get freak and enjoy yourself! Try all fourteen different cuts of meat!
Gordon ReeceMay 12, 2014
Don't say ”no” to anything. I surprised my self a couple of times by trying a sliver of meat I hadn't tried before. Do not fill up on salad. Some opt to not eat veggies at all!
