LOVED this place! The service is phenomenal. I felt like we never had to worry about empty plates here. The team is very kind and attentive! Don't be afraid to ask for a particular meat as they're all walkied up and can phone a friend over with what you're looking for. The food was excellent! Everything was still hot when it reached our plates. We really enjoyed the Golden Steak and of course the Picanha. Ambiance was amazing - restaurant was very clean and well kept. The buffet was nice and cold so the food quality was great. Highly recommend, will be dining here again very soon :)
Let's see where I'm going to begin. I have frequented this restaurant for years, and every visit surpasses the last in excellence. I have my cherished servers and hosts who never fail to provide exceptional service, making my preferred table, table 65, especially accommodating, as walking long distances is challenging due to my spinal cord injury. The cuisine is exquisite, and the beverages are exceptional - a special mention to the unique passion fruit vodka sprite and soda water concoction, a must-try from their menu. Unfortunately, my birthday went uncelebrated with song, unlike neighboring tables. Consequently, I have decided not to return"jk". I want to give a shoutout to my beloved staff.

Thank you Carlos and the entire team for a great service and a fantastic night! The entire staff team was super attentive and nice. The food was also delicious. We will be coming back soon!
Best Brazilian Steakhouse in California! I went with my family and friends last week and the service was spectacular! First, we were greeted by receptionist Alessandra, who was very kind and quickly helped us choose a table that accommodated our baby. Thank you so much for that! Then, our waiter Juliano was very knowledgeable and helpful with the menu, explaining the best options. If you're new to Brazilian steakhouses, this will be super helpful! Finally, we had two delicious "Brazilian caipirinhas" made by bartender Débora, her lime caipirinha was a game-changer! Exceptional place, can't wait to come back!
Having just come from Brazil on a trip, I had pretty high expectations of Galpão Gaucho from the service to the salad bar to the drinks. Brought two Canadian friends who had never experienced a Brazilian steakhouse and it's a treat to meet with them here in the US, so I was quite nervous to bring them and have them spend so much money... would the $75 for meats be worth it? YES. I chose this one over Fogo de Chao because of the cuts they offer for the price. I loved the ambiance (very classy and clean, saw people dressed up on cute dates, some were casually celebrating birthdays as a family, others looked like they just got off work, so it's nice to know you can come here for any occasion!), the lighting, the cleanliness! Noise level was also amazing. Not too quiet where you feel like everyone can hear what you're saying, but not too loud where you're straining to hear each other speak. It was perfect for catching up. The servers were eager to make sure you had enough food, you can special request certain cuts to come back, and the salad bar has GOOD, high quality veggies, cheeses, carbs, meats, soups, you name it! I'm also extremely happy they offer the Brazilian soda, traditional Brazilian cocktails, wines, and much more! Everyone at my table had a drink that piqued their interest that they tried. 4 people with tax and tip, 2 sodas, 2 mocktails, 1 glass of port wine, 2 chocolate lava cakes + ice cream ($13 each) all came down to ~$120 per person. I have paid much much much more for much much much less at other places, and I am SO happy with the experience and everything we ate and drank! Thank you to Galpão Gaucho for making the evening more special!
The receptionist Alessandra welcomed us with kindness and impeccable attention. Her courtesy and efficiency made our visit to the restaurant more enjoyable. First class service from the first moment! And besides the food was delicious, not to mention the dessert, which was impeccable.
Make sure you come extra hungry! Not my favorite Brazilian steakhouse experience but there are definitely some delectable meats and sides at the buffet. Favorite item was definitely the grilled cheese with honey and dipping the cheese bread with the honey leftovers. They are very speedy and efficient with service here, make sure you're using your stop and go button appropriately since I ended up with like 8 meats on my plate within 5 minutes of putting the 'go' on and they were mostly cold when I finished eating. The bathrooms are clean and the inside of the restaurant reminds me of Olive Garden and the 2000s. Parking is a hit or miss in the busy lot, but plenty of street parking in the neighborhood.
My friend took me here for my birthday and it was a great experience! She made a reservation for 5pm on a Saturday, and we got there about 10 minutes early and was seated immediately. You're invited to check out the salad bar first, which all looked really good, too. They have your typical salads, cheeses, prosciutto/salami, fruit, and other marinated veggies. The mushrooms were very flavorful! But don't load up on the salad bar because they give huge portions of the meat. When we sat back down, the servers started bringing us the meat immediately. We probably got 5 different cuts within 30 seconds! The staff was very friendly too, and told us they had 17 different meats. They gave us a little pamphlet that had their offerings and would come by often to ask if we had any requests. If we did, they would call to have someone bring it over. The different meats were all fantastic. They all had a distinct flavor, which I sometimes don't get at places whose specialty is just meat - sometimes they all just blend together. I didn't get to try everything, since the cuts they gave were huge, I would estimate about 2oz each! I would also recommend not getting too many cuts too fast, especially if you're not a fast eater. Some of my meats sadly got cold while I was trying to get through it all, so it ended up a bit chewy. I'll definitely pace myself better next time. The host also had asked if we were celebrating anything, and my friend had said it was my birthday. After we had finished dinner, they offered a complimentary dessert from anything on the dessert menu, which I thought was so nice! I picked the tres leches cake and it was delicious. It was a very generous slice and super moist. I would get this again, even if it wasn't free! Overall, the food was great, the service was very attentive, and I would definitely come back again. When we got there at 5pm, it was still pretty empty, but it got packed by the time we left around 6:45pm. Coming for an earlier dinner would probably be best if you want super fast service. Can't wait to come back!
