Come Hungry and Leave Happy!!!

by gettnbusy

This place was great! Me & the boys came on a busy Friday night. Seating was limited but we were seated pretty fast. The ambience is nice with the decorations and tiles reminding me of South America. There is a grill right in the middle of the restaurant which is very cool so you can see the meat cooking right there!

Meat = A+

Side dishes/Salad Bar = A+

Brazilian Cheese bread = OMG A+!!!

Service = A- (The meat is a little slow coming out at times but still gets to you with a great variety!)

Cleanliness of bathrooms = A-

Friendliness of staff = A+

I would go here again every weekend. Great place!

Burbank Brazilian Street Hustle

by Thomas 11

$ 120.00 for 4 people was a horrible insult ! This place should just close the doors now and stop this disgusting representation of Brazilian Cuisine. We had to beg for meat like street people. We were there for two hours just trying get a little food. We left hungry , thirsty and angry. This place feels like a street hustle not a restaurant !

EXCELLENT - FOOD !!

by GoodEats57

Our birthday party of 8 were quite happy with the Picanha dining experience. Started off with the Brazilian cocktail (Caipernhas) - DYNO-MITE ! We loved it !! Walked to the hot buffet counter - so much to chose from. Garlic mashed potatoes, basil rice, black beans, fried bananas (yummy), sauteed zucchini and more. Fresh green salad, hummous, tahboleh, hearts of palm w/diced tomatoes etc. Soup of the day was lentil - my favorite ! The waiters bring a small basket of hot cheese bread - So Good ! You just can't eat one.

The Gaucho guys come to your table to slice the meats of your choice - they make their rounds. We seemed to enjoy the Tri-Tip, Chicken Parmesean, Brazilian Sausage, Picanha Steak,Curry Chicken, Mongolian Beef - but everything was really good. Some of our group ordered the Flan - Oh my !!! TOO GOOD !!!!! You must order it ....or the Banana parfait - I think thats what it was called - Service was great, no complaints. ALSO another happy ending. Our next trip back will be for Mother's day. Got to try it out !!! Very good .....!!

Best Churrasco in California

by Onak421

I went to Picanha Friday night with my boyfriend for our two year anniversary. Our experience their really made our night special. We started off with a couple of brazilian cocktail called caiperinhas, they were too die for! I pryed the reciepe from you server and now I can make them anytime I want. Next we sampled the salad bar and hot food section. My fav was the chicken strogonoff with rice. I tried not to eat to much because I wanted to save my appitiete for the bbq'd cuts. Every cut of meat was pure heaven but I have to say my favorite was the Picanha. The steak just melted in my mouth! I would recommened this restaurant to anyone who loves great value, service and yummy food!!!

• Pros: great Caiperhiinha's, Freindly Staff

Food Poisoning

by quickstep27

Although meat dishes are not to my liking, I was quite pleased with the fair amount of variety at the salad bar. I picked about four items and they were okay. Unfortunately though, a few hours later I got incredibly ill. I went to the doctor who told me I definitely got food poisoning. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT. Stay away and get your meat craving fulfilled somewhere else. If the salad bar is poorly maintained, then what other health issues might they be overlooking?

GOOD-GOOD- TASTIN' MEATS

by GoodieFoodie

What made it special or unique? The ambiance, delicious meats, the wonderful aroma of the food cookin throughout the restaurant - that was a unique smell to it unlike any others. The decor was very nicely designed. The cozy bar area has a plasma TV and decorated in a dark wood which reminds me of the show "Cheer's. I'll stop in one day and have a drink . The hot & cold food buffet was over whelming, what shall I pick? OK...all of it...LOL.

The drinks were very good. Love those HOT cheese biscuits- bet you can't just eat one !

Dessert? If you have room. The Chocolate Mousse was incredible !

Service was very good and polite. The manager came around the various tables asking how everything was. Of course we had a mouth full (couldn't stop eating), but we gave it 5 Thumbs UP!!!

Not only do they serve dinner they also offer a lunch special $9.95 - What a DEAL for that type of restaurant !!

They are closed on Monday's. I'll stop by for the "Excecutive Lunch" special next week - you can't beat that !

If it tastes good - Eat it ! (quote from Andrew Zimmern)

• Pros: Tender Tasty Meats & FOOD

Very Impressed!

by tjacegs

I went there by myself for lunchtime one time because i had heard about they're brazilian business lunch and thought i would try it. I loved it because i wasn't forced to do the all you can eat option and instead was able to have just a small amount of meat but still as much salad and sides i wanted. I liked it so much that i decided to take my girlfriend there for dinner the following week and we got the all you can eat. It was fantastic! The bunch of different meats they have are delicious and complemented by all of the sides really nicely, the staff was really nice both times, the pricing was really great (only about $10 for the limited meat business lunch and about $28 for the all you can eat dinner), and the atmosphere was really fun, with brazilian music playing the whole time. We will definitely be coming back!

• Pros: Food, Service, Fun Atmosphere
• Cons: None

Absolutely Delicious!

by kg689

My friends and I went here on a recommendation to celebrate a birthday and we absolutely loved it! The staff was very friendly, the meat, especially the picanha, was piping hot and full of juicy-goodness! I would also recommend the chicken stroganoff and plantains. For my friends birthday, they surprised him with a chocolate mousse and sang happy birthday in, I believe, Portugese. Overall, we left very happy customers and are sure to return!

• Pros: Sizzling Hot Meat, Great Staff, Convenient Parking
• Cons: None

Absolutely Divine !!

by food2luv

My family and I are always satisfied with the delicious meats and the buffet. This time around we actually tried the "tuna salad" oh my goodness !!!!! That was so good, I went back for 2nd's at the buffet. Try their soup as well "very healthy "vegetable soup". We always go for the cheese ball bread, its served warm and bet you can't eat just one. All the flavorful juicy meats were carved by their gaucho men and served hot from the skewer. They also have a bar for mixed drinks, wine or beer. Our dining experience has always been a true delight at Picanha which is why we frequent 2x month. We also love the fact that we don't have to valet our car to dine at the restaurant - plenty of parking for everyone.

• Pros: Juicy, Tasty Meats, Side dish's GALORE !
• Cons: none - I'm happy
