AirickuhMeuhJune 27, 2017My boyfriends favorite place in town. It's best to go for lunch during the week if you can. I just go for the salad bar, coffee, and dessert and it's definitely worth it even if you don't eat meat.Upvote6Downvote- Master WreckyJanuary 21, 2019Everything is great... about $65 an adult with a drink. Ask for a cut and they attack you with it. Endless delicious meats! Make sure you ask for picanha. No dress code.

Mark BOctober 15, 2016Great Brazilian Steakhouse. Salad bar is fantastic and you have to be careful not to fill up before starting the endless parade of meats. Always busy so recommend reservations. Excellent customer Svc.UpvoteDownvote- AndrewGroveSanAntonio GroveDecember 25, 2023Everything was good. Super salad bar, the rib eye was perfect. Sirloin steak and lamb too. Service is top notch but it was super packed. $$$. Bring your wallet!

Brian StraussJuly 25, 2017Sirloin cap was great. Ask for the filet without the bacon, and get the sausage. In the end you gotta know when to say when, but chances are you're headed for the meet sweats.UpvoteDownvote- Sarah WilfleyMay 9, 2017Go on an empty stomach, be prepared for the food coma but oh so worth it. I originally made the mistake with the salad bar because it's AMAZING and when the food came I was full. Must tryUpvoteDownvote

VoniaJuly 29, 2015Similar meat cuts to the other three Brazilian steakhouses, but I have to say... The salad bar is amazing! Half price during lunch!UpvoteDownvote
KDH PhillipsJuly 14, 2011I know you are going to think me crazy, but CG has the BEST salad bar in San Antonio! You can definitely take your less militant vegetarian friends here and leave them fully satisfied.Upvote3Downvote
Elizabeth BirdDecember 18, 2019Perfect date night spot, especially if you love to eat a ridiculous amount of delicious steakUpvoteDownvote
Dave BenApril 13, 2018All the meats are delicious! Even if you don't eat meat, the salads are great!UpvoteDownvote
Shawn ShickJanuary 17, 2011The best tip I can give you is to order a side of sauger onions, no peppers. The onions bring out a whole other level of flavor in the meats. You won't be disappointed. Tell Long that Shawn says hi.Upvote1Downvote
Naomi Rehak-SmithJuly 19, 2013They have awesome customer service , I highly recommend this place. Will definitely be going back.

whataniceboy sanantonioFebruary 13, 2014Don't eat for three days, then smoke a fat ass joint and eat as much prime time beefs as you can. Vomit in the bathroom and do it again - it's a buffet!Upvote2Downvote

Danny BatistaJanuary 11, 2012Make sure you ask for the black beans the rice and the charrgrilled onions and if you like heat the jalepeños. They come with the price of the meal but you won't get them unless you ask for them.Upvote3Downvote
