They have a sign up out front that they're opening tomorrow - likely doing a soft-open, if anyone is interested...

So those are some interesting prices.
Those prices are fairly typical and even on the low side. It helps if you are familiar with the "whole Churrasco-Churrascaria thing". I have been to a few on business affairs-like Fogo de Chao in Buckhead outside Atlanta. By and large, you can think of the concept as conspicuous consumption along the lines of Mortons of Chicago-largely geared to the expense account crowd and celebrations. At least at the two different Fogo de Chao's I have been to, the typical table is occupied by six to twelve males in their forties and up, all well into their third or fourth cocktail before they ever sit down to eat. The dinner tab may be high, but the drink tab is often bigger. Alcohol helps, because you have to let your concerns about health and long term survival go by the wayside to enjoy the onslaught of salty but delicious meats all served table-side directly off the skewers by the wandering waiters. You can look forward to four or five trips for water in the middle of the night to counteract the sodium chloride overdose. Don't get me wrong-I love these places, but on a once-a-year basis, and only then if in the rare mood for excessive meat. The appetizer/salad bar concept is actually intriguing. If similar to Fogo de Chao, there are tons of really good things to eat without the skewers.

well, when BD's Mongolian is next door with all you can eat for 10.99 or so, seems a bit much.
I realize it is a different type of style and all. just remarking.Posted 11 months ago # -
Prices look ok to me. I know these Brazilian steakhouses are usually pricey. Cant wait to try it out!!! :)

The price for all you can eat (including unlimited appetizers, salad, meat, etc) seems reasonable. It's not Ponderosa.

Looks more like a place for eating rabbits, not eating like a rabbit.

Nice little blurb from the local architect that designed the space.

In all fairness, the salad bar seems to have quite a few hot items, including things with meat. Well, chicken. Heh.

Wow -- those prices are EXTREMELY reasonable. I'll have to try this place when I'm in Columbus next. For a bit of comparison -- I took my parents for our birthdays (me, my mom and my dad all have birthdays within a week of one another) to Fogo de Chão, and we all had dinner buffet and I ordered a caipirinha, no drinks for them and it was $200.00!

Those may be temporary soft opening prices to work out the bugs.

Those are reasonable, which makes me question the quality of this place. Wasn't there a local brazil steakhouse here a few years back? i remember seeing the prices on line and they were also reasonable, but the reviews said the place was horrible. It was closed shortly after that I believe. That being said, Texas de Brazil is being built in Easton, correct? I have been there and they are very good. The only time to go to these places is on your birthday. Almost all of them you get a free meal or discounted meal on your birthday, and makes going there definitely worth it.

I'm actually kinda jazzed about getting to try this place - solid location.

Ouch indeed. Maybe Texas de Brazil at Easton will be better.

Yelp is wack. It's been open for 5 freakin' days. Two of the 1 star reviews are first time reviewers, er, disgruntled ex-employees. Yelp is wack.
My first thought at the pricing was $20 seems high for weekday lunch, as I recall though $35-$40/plate is standard for dinner.
