- Adam SmithJune 22, 2013The 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!
Andreea Vilcan-VoaidesAugust 22, 2017The 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
WhiskyAvengerJune 14, 2018Everything 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?
Abood AbussaudNovember 5, 2016You 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.
Alden CatesFebruary 26, 2023They’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, 2013Salad 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.
Melissa KnightJanuary 4, 2015Amazing 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, 2013Excellent meat, excellent service. Don't waste time on the salads. A bit expensive, but it's all-you-can-eat.
Lisette BetsingerAugust 24, 2014It'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.
Cristián SepúlvedaAugust 11, 2014Ask 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!
Carina AndersenMarch 25, 2015Meat meat and even more delicious meat. Pretty authentic. A shot of cachaça for dessert will save you from your food coma.
Chungwoo HwangNovember 16, 2013Great place for meat lovers. Don't forget to try Caipirinha as they are really refreshing!!!
ErinMay 2, 2013ENDLESS amount of amazing meat. Be prepared for a food coma and...meat sweats. All good things.
Loke Uei TanMarch 17, 2014Don't have too much salad or sides and save your tummy for the delicious meats
Sam RNovember 24, 2011If 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, 2013A meat circus. In a good way. Also an incredible wine list - especially the malbecs!
Leo P.August 27, 2011As 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, 2015Don't be afraid to try something different. And always be courteous to the waiters.
James TOctober 28, 2014Salad bar is pretty good, too. Not enough to satisfy a vegetarian, but a good pairing to all the meat.- James TOctober 28, 2014Experiment at first, and then focus on your favorite meats. Best bang for your buck.
Stewart AlsopApril 26, 2011Try 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, 2014Worth the price. Good choices of meat and salad bar has many options.
Chloe FanAugust 25, 2014To 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, 2014Sirloin and Filet Mignon are the best..pair with French Cabernet Sauvignon
Ron LeshemApril 26, 2010Do 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, 2011best brazilian in San Francisco, love the cheese bread, the sald bar is awesome, I will come back for sure
Fabiola VillasenorJanuary 4, 2011I 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!
Yejin YooJuly 28, 2013Meat lovers unite. No words needed. If you consider yourself a carnivore you better try this place.
Sara SlatterySeptember 23, 2012Don't waste you're time at the salad bar, you're gonna have plenty of delicious meat coming.
Gordon ReeceMay 12, 2014Don'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!
Alejandro TorresJuly 28, 2010What a Churrasqueria... everything is good. you just want to keep packing and packing. Picaña is the best !
