We came for my son’s birthday last month and the meal was great! They described the set up and then we were off to choose the sides to go with the meat. There were plenty of choices of hot and cold side dishes. I wasn’t a meat eater and they gave me a portion of grilled salmon. My family loved the selection of meats that arrived at our table. The waiter would carve a piece for each person. They would keep coming until you had enough. Then they came with grilled pineapple. My son absolutely loved this that he kept asking for more! They event gave him a chocolate cake with a candle and we sang happy birthday to him. Nothing like embarrassing a teenager! They have air con which was brilliant as it was during the heatwave and was 40 degrees outside.

As Brazilians, we can say the non stop meat was superb! We could enjoy the picanha taste and the salad bar buffet very much! The caipirinha was delicious, exactly like it is served in Brazil. Nice and friendly staff! We highly recommend this authentic Brazilian restaurant.
J. J.
Wow what an amazing dinner we had! I am glad I took the risk to try something different! We ate until we could not eat any more there were plenty of side dishes to choose from! And the meat was very tender the most tender meat 🥩 We have had in a restaurant! All the meat was well seasoned and cooked perfectly ! The atmosphere was fantastic and very enjoyable! The head chef and the staff were very nice and welcoming! We will definitely come back! Thank you for your service and providing such an amazing First time ever Brazilian food experience!

I can't eat anymore! I mean ever! I've literally eaten so much I think I've had my calorie allowance till I'm 99 years old. This place is wonderful. Music, style, friendly staff, food is fantastic, long island ice tea was perfect. I had to turn my card red to stop the meat coming. The buffet bar has meats and everything one it you could want. I will literally only eat here when I come back to York. Thank you very much. X
I. H.
Enjoyed every minute. The food is superb and the meat dishes just keep coming. There is a help yourself area with plenty of choices of side food to help yourself from. The beer etc is quite expensive but you can just have a jug of iced water if you choose. We will definitely return. Also the staff were great!
A. J.
Absolutely sublime, could not fault a thing. Meats were cooked to perfection, salad bar was full of high quality produce, which at first seemed like the dishes were too small, but every few minutes someone was bringing out fresh.
Watch the cocktails, like all the best ones, they are a lot stronger than you think.
M. M.
The food was amazing and the staff was very very nice! Great experience 🥰 Highly recommended A+
A. C.
Visited this evening, great service, staff were wonderful and attentive, even checking to see if we wanted any particular meat after everything had come round. Meat was fresh, tasty and plentiful, as was the salad bar. Cocktails were tasty too. We will visit again, and I recommend it to anyone thinking of visiting.
M. L.
The food was excellent and the service first class. However the price of the beer was extremely expensive. We had a bottle of wine but would have liked a beer but we would not pay £4.70 for a small bottle of lager.
Really nice experience but feel the drink prices could come down thanks
R. E.
Highly recommend! The salad bar has everything you could want and the meats are excellent. Roasted pineapple coated in cinnamon worth a visit on its own! Definitely will be going again.
J. S.
Various choices of meat with the salad bar. Delicious!
C. S.
Lovely staff friendly polite and attentive food was perfect would not hesitate to eat here again and recomend
S. M.
Such a lovely buffet with plenty of salad options for a start. Also has pasta, rice, the Brazilian dish Feijoada (bean stew), an amazing selection of barbecue coming straight to the table from time to time plus fries, cheese bread, everything you would expect from a typical rodízio but the flavours are spot on! Table service is very good, friendly and caring. I can't believe at the price, considering I visited on a Sunday night and the amount of food I had, 25 for all you can eat barbecue is great!
m. g.
Simply amazing food, the salad bar was fantastic and the delicious meat just kept coming out. 2 for 1 cocktails and friendly personable staff simply couldn't ask for more.
M. X.
Eaten here tonight for our visit in York. Lovely friendly atmosphere and delicious food. Staff couldn’t do enough for us. Me and my friend got 2 for 1 cocktails despite it not being happy hour and complementary dough balls. Cocktails were brilliant. Will definitely come back here.
P. R.
All you can meat buffet, its pretty nice and a fun experience but all meat appears to be cooked around medium, and there's not much of a selection.
We were right by the far side window too so were often missed by the staff carrying the meat.
They also had a little "snacks" bar which was okay but a little plain.
What i take away from this place is its good for just selling a certain cooked style of meat to a very specific demographic.
Btw they do not serve desert here.
Do i feel it was worth £33 p/p? (2 cokes and meal) not really. To get your moneys worth you'd really want go there to eat nothing but medium to medium rare meat.
L. B.
Eat as much as you like both from the sallad bar and the Meat! There is a green/red care that's on the table and when you are ready fir more meat they come to the table and serve you. If you don't want more meat at the moment you just flip the card to the red side.
The atmosphere in those restaurant is lovely! The owner makes sure that you feel very welcome and are happy with the food 😃 They have a broad choice of bevreis too all from non alcoholic to the more tipsy side, if you like 🥳
The sallad bar don't just have sallad, they have roast potatoes and rice and stew and there is flavours that is just heavenly!
I wouldn't know of this place if it wasn't for the fact that I met the owner at the airport in Sweden. 😃 And to be honest it was a perfect place for my 2 sons and girlfriend and me, to dine and have a wonderful time at the same time! I can so recommend this place to everyone! Location is great too as its on a street close to parking facilities if you are driving.
Thank you so much for those experience of a fantastic night with fantastically well met, food presentation and a great welcoming!
100 stars to all
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️
F. G.
Absolutely loved this restaurant
From start to finish could not have been made to feel more welcome
Awesome selection on the buffet and meat after meat served to your table
Loved the whole experience
Thank you

After watching Somebody feed Phil my girl friend and i wanted to a Brazilian place with with all the meats on sticks. So as we were on holiday while planning our trip we found this. Was not disappointed...holy hell. Massive buffet of many many things with chips and onions rings included and meats...extremely well cooked meats. Ioved the little red/green cards, essentially meaning nope im good for now and yes more of the meat please. Taking it steady flip your card to red for a bit then back to green when youre ready for more. £25 a head and the only extra we paid for were drinks. I wanted meats on sticks and i got meats on sticks...will be going again. All the staff were extremely pleasant and enthusiastic.
J. S.
Great rodizio in the centre of York. Staff are friendly, and the main show - the meat - is really good. Salad bar is great, but could do with some extra things added - swapping out stuff like the random lasagne with some Rio-style baked polenta, etc, would do wonders!
Caipirinhas are really tasty, but other drinks are lacking - if you want beer, for example, there's nothing on draught, and the bottles are a bit expensive. Luckily, said caipirinhas are 2for1...
Overall, I've been to similarly priced rodizio that had a lot more going for them in terms of main and side options, but the things you can get here are super tasty.
N. D.
Great Brazilian Restaurant. Fresh food, friendly and helpful service, and a really nice open and spacious ambience. Would highly recommend if you are in York
J. H.
Well my wife & I was visiting York & decided to eat here for an early dinner. Glad we did. It was £15 per head. This includes a massive unlimited salad, rice, bread & cold meats along with some speciality plates. It gets checked and replaced every so often as well which is good. Now the main event. Randomly a guy will walk round with a metal skewer loaded with a cut of meat. There was beef rump tail, flank, sirloin, spicy sausages and leg of Lamb. You have a disc, one side red saying NO MORE and the other green saying yes please whereby the waiter will slice off chunks to your liking. The meat starts of as just under medium rare but obviously through time, gets cooked slightly more. The meat is very well seasoned, full of flavour and juicy & tender. You get do much too sd it's unlimited. We tried a bit of everything and loved it. The price goes up to £25 in the evening understandably. The service was good, the restaurant clean and tidy. Nice selection of beers and wine. It got busy so I'd suggest booking in the evening. We will definitely visit again.
F. J.
Loved this place! Will 100% be going back, all the staff were so nice, the food was great absolutely loved it
P. B. L.
If you like meats, don’t miss this place. Amazing food, amazing cuts, great cocktails as well... great price as well. The staff was very friendly and ended up remembering how you want your meat cooked. I wish there were more places like that in the south west
M.
The food is outstanding the staff are such loveable characters and and if I could rate them more stars I would give them all the stars
J. M.
Not a bad rodrizio house but for the Sunday price the choices were quite limited.
Fairly decent salad bar.
l. s.
Lovely staff and the food was just fantastic. You won't leave hungry that's fore sure.
B. E.
Loved the food. Staff very attentive especially Chelsea. Would have given 5 stars if the salad bar had been open as would have been able to sample tastes. Due to Covid restrictions we had to order them as full side dishes so on sampled a couple although Chelsea informed we could order as much of anything we thought this would prove wasteful.
S. L.
I want to visit here again. They were so kind. Food was very delicious and satisfactory. The mood of restaurant was tidy and cosy than I expected.
J. C.
Oh dear.
This was our favourite place to eat, been many times, raved about it to everybody.
went last night and it was hugely disappointing.
First the price has gone up, to £28. Fair enough these are rough times but at that they had better bring their best game.
Sadly this was far from the case, the menu is dramatically curtailed. All the best cuts have vanished no fillet, no sirloin etc. The rump we had was so tough it had to be spat out, the rest was better but still chewy.
The side dishes have shrunk massively pre pandemic there was a vast buffet, yesterday a small selection, and a quality was OK but things like sweet potato fried missing.
The pizza selection has all vanished.
This restaurant was sensational, gutting to see them struggling like this I hope they can turn it around.
C. M.
Great food, excellent service, would highly recommend-definitely coming back.
P. T.
Nice food. Huge amounts of meat offered with the special. Drinks quite pricey but food good value for the amount and quality you get.
S. A.
The meat just keeps on coming. Very tasty, glad you can use the red card as a rest not just a stop. Would definitely go again
M. Z.
To say this place is quite new, you could never tell. The staff couldn't do enough to help. The food was perfectly cooked. The cocktails were lovely. I will definitely be coming back here.
U. G.
I'd say average, not going to go back we went with high expectations only to find all the best meat is on a Sunday and dinner only, we didn't find out until we sat down and looked at menu on table. A bit of a con really,
check photo the blue sections are dinner and Sundays only
D. R.
Having been to Brazil, and experienced rodizio style eating, also at other venues in the UK, we very much enjoyed our meal here, and can say that you do get an authentic experience.
For those who havnt been to this type of place before, there is a self served salad bar, then waiters come to your table with unlimited skewers of differing meats. You are given a circular mat with a traffic light type system, green if you want more meat, red if you want a break, or had enough.
You need to pace yourself in order to try all the different cuts of meat, not forgetting the salad bar, but be warned, dont eat before you go!
For this particular venue, everything was good, including the caipahrinias. To get the 5th star, I felt the salad bar could have been a little bigger with more choice, as Brazilian ones have been, but otherwise, an enjoyable experience.
L. S.
Fabulous food and friendly staff would definitely reccomend!
P. L.
Spent a couple of days walking passed this place before going in , wish I'd gone in there earlie, food fantastic! And the pineapple was one of best things I've ever eaten
M. A.
A completely wonderful experience, an amazing salad bar & a beautiful range of meats. Top Nosh 😊
G. C.
Our favourite!! This is the 4th time we have been to this restaurant, great service, the food is delicious!! Would recommend!
I. M.
Fantastic food and friendly staff! The children loved the food too🥳 we will definitely be returning 😃
D. N.
The food was fantastic, great atmosphere....won't be the last time I'll be visiting
R. V.
Awesome. Great atmosphere and lots and lots of good quality food. Staff are lovely too.
D. G.
Amazing restaurant, friendly staff, all you can eat Meats and salad! Baby friendly too 🙂
K. D.
Friendly staff and absoloutely delicious food!! They just keep coming to you with a seemingly endless meat supply until you decide you're full. The salad bar is very fresh as well. Really enjoyed ourselves here
A. E.
This place has great service, the food is amazing as well. The sides are a great addition to the meats. There is no limit to the sides you can order which is good. The variety of meat is amazing and also there is the choice of how well cooked you can have.
A. P.
Best place of its type I've ever visited. The meat on the skewers was all of top quality and cooked to perfection. All the side dishes were tasty too. A large stag party or similar, were a little too boisterous and rowdy for a Saturday evening aside of that, a great night here.
M. S.
Brazilian all you can eat, definitely worth to try. Great choices of different meats and sides.
c. h.
This restaurant is for "meatarians". It's a grilled meats buffet. If you like meat, you may like it.
T. M.
Great choice/selection of meats, generous servings, good choice of sides included in lieu of salad bar, staff friendly and good humoured. Good value and highly recommended.
L. B.
We went on a Monday when there is a discounted offer for the dinner experience - it wasn't very busy but that worked to our advantage as the meats came around quickly. There was a large range on offer and they were all beautifully cooked. Plus, a special thanks to server Daria who spotted that we had turned out discs over to green from red after seeing beef ribs going round and pointed her colleague in our direction.
Great service, great food, well priced. I would certainly go again.
B. R.
Loved it - staff were very friendly and accommodating. Really good selection of different sides, meats and pizzas - the cinnamon and pineapple was a particular favourite. The meats/pizza come around fast - you're never left waiting. Drinks were very reasonably priced and overall excellent value for money - especially on Sunday when the menu extends even further. Definitely worth a visit!
S. H.
Great service! And the meat was some of the best we've had here. The staff are so friendly and polite
A. C.
Absolutely love it. Food is delicious you eat as much as you can OMG and the battered banana it’s heaven The staff it’s friendly and helpful with a smile on their faces especially Simona . Will definitely go again 😊
B. C.
Friendly Waiters, Food is delicious and although the meat comes to the table very often (until you turn the mat that says yes/no) you can pause for a breather and then continue without feeling you are rushed to leave.
They even brought me a fresh plate and cutlery whilst I had a break......Awesome!
A. R.
Friendly staff and loads and loads of meat! The salad selection was good, and even that included yet more meat. We ate really well and would return again. Drinks are fairly dear, but not outrageous.
S. G.
Authentic delicious brazilian food. Loved the unlimited meats and the buffet as well as the drinks. Didn't expect to find this in York!
M. W.
Absolutely amazing food is out of this world so tasty great staff definitely a place to busy if your in York very much recommended 5 stars
S. T.
What a fun restaurant to experience! We went for a work night out where there were a quite a few of us that had different dietary requirements (halal, several food allergies),but the restaurant manager and chefs were so considerate and ensured we all had good option of foods to choose from.
On arrival, Jacob offered us drinks and made special recommendations depending on our preferences. We tried the caipirinhas, which was apparently a really popular alcoholic drink in Brazil, and guarana (non alcoholic). The the bacahloada (not sure if that’s how it’s spelt) was a side but it can be its own meal it’s so good! The meats were all cooked to perfection, my favourite was the picanha 🤤 and they just kept on coming.
K. C.
Great value for money the food was first class and the service was great 👍👍👍👍👍
A. G.
Great place, very nice staff and gorgeous food
P. M.
Plenty of good BBQ meat options. Food plentiful and decent.
E. Y.
Omg! It says it all, the food is absolutely delicious, cooked perfectly to the rarity of your choice, and service is quick and efficient by friendly staff who clearly just want you to enjoy the experience, the salad bar is full of unusual and tasty food which you probably won’t get anywhere else, and the meats are just mouthwatering. There is so much excitement when you see the food coming out of the kitchen, to find out what it is and to try it, and if there is anything in particular you would like to try off the menu, you can request it from one of the staff, for example, chicken hearts, which are very tasty and well worth the try if you are willing.
Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves a good steak.
S.
Awesome place to eat! Prices have gone up presumably due to Covid! 🙄 But food was excellent as was the service! The additional dishes were tasty too! My only negative was that some of the meats were too salty! Definitely recommend and go again!
B. W.
Excellent meat and side dishes. And eat as much as you like. Great experience to taste all them different meats straight from the grill...and not to miss the pineapple!
Service is excellent and very friendly.
We enjoyed it so much. Highly to recommend!
B. A.
Amazing food and friendly staff. Highly recommended.
O. O.
The food was delicious but the cocktails need less ice and more drink.
Φ. Κ.
Excellent selection of different juicy meats cooked at our request.
R. P.
A MUST if you are visiting/live in York. The BEST Brazilian Restaurant I have visited.
I originally arranged a Surprise Birthday Party here for my husband and I was not disappointed!
The whole experience of trying a slither of different meats was mouth watering.
For those who don't like meat, there is still an option. Everyone at the party was left very happy, satisfied and exceptionally full.
I have since returned several other occasions with friends.
The staff each time were welcoming, service excellent. Overall a fantastic experience! Don't hesitate to give this a try for yourself.
C. M.
My wife and I visited Casa Rodizio today for a late lunch in York today.
First impressions were good, very spacious seating and good sized tables. The staff were very friendly and super helpful!
The food was fantastic, we had a selection of the meats, plus mixed vegetables, mixed salad and also the Black Bean Stew.
I also had the Brazilian pudding, which was fantastic and light.
All in all, very good service and excellent food. I will definitely visit here again, just make sure you are hungry!
N. M.
Quite underwhelmed by the experience. The staff were friendly and helpful but if this is typical Brazilian cooking it was disappointing. It was a plentiful variety of meats including sausages, chicken, lamb, pork and beef flame cooked. The rump beef was unchewable. The service is based on turning a card over on the edge of your table, green for more, red for hold off for now.
R. S.
Fantastic place, friendly staff & fabulous food.
What more could anyone want..
1st time eating here, if you like meat your in food heaven, it was amazing, would definitely recommend to anyone who is in York visiting the lovely town. Can't wait to come back again.
S. B.
Great food! Excellent atmosphere and super polite staff. I would definitely recommend this place and will be back more often.
F. M.
The right place to enjoy a proper brazilian meal
Everything is delicious and the service is friendly and very helpful
E. H.
beautiful food and very good staff my husband said this is better then Estabulo :)
C. B.
Meat was good, well cooked & tasty, sides are ordered fresh which for us was good and bad. Everyone enjoyed what they ate but the problem came with sides coming and then no meat - as we were hungry the sides got eaten and then we got the meat. We ordered more sides but then they take a few minutes to come and you eat the meat while it's warm and the cycle repeats or you let things like the chips go cold whole you wait for the meat. We went on a Monday night and the restaurant was probably about half full so it was reasonably busy and maybe not as heavily staffed as a popular night. If I'm honest we could have chased the waitress more to resolve the timing and did towards the end of the meal but it was a case of once a skewer of meat was cooked it wasn't enough for everyone waiting so if we got served first the people on the other end of the restaurant had to wait because the meat would run out and they would have to wait for the next one. The night we went there was live music too, nice idea but the volume needed to be lower we were sat reasonably close to the speaker and it made conversation difficult, by the end I would have rather it not be on and have no music. There was 7 of us for the meal, when the bill came it was just short of £200 including drinks, not loads of drinks but still basically £29 for an all you can eat that has tasty food. Overall if the service was a bit better with timings and the music was lower or absent I would have definitely given it 5 stars.
G. G.
Great food, original restaurant, we will come back for more!
C. B.
Great night with great food! No shortage of meat that just kept coming and coming until we were bursting. Highly recommended!
C. P.
Excellent service, great food and lots of it. Very Good
K. L.
Amazing experience, food was delicious and great friendly service 😋
J. H.
This place is absolute heaven for a meat eater. It's even better now post covid where the unlimited sides are cooked fresh! All food was cooked to perfection with friendly and helpful staff and quick service. Will absolutely go again
L. R.
Amazing place. Food was delicious and staff were friendly and helpful. Cannot recommend this place enough!!
Warning though- come here when you are properly hungry- it's not a "light bite" sort of place. Big appetites required
T. A.
First time coming here and I absolutely loved it. Great price, amazing meats and sides and incredibly attentive service. Waitresses were kind and the meat servers were friendly. Can't wait to come back to York again!
s. i.
Quality of good can't fault. Lots of variety. Staff very polite, cheerful and helpful. Restaurant easy to locate.
Worth the money for the customer service and food.
D. K.
Lovely meal. First time we had Tried anything like it. Enjoyed the serving experience. Didn't find the place until our third day then went every. Staff were very attentive. Roll on next year's holiday to try it again.
j. s.
Great food and service , staff were very friendly and helpful .
A. C.
Staff were absolutely brilliant, food was amazing!! Was looking forward to our visit and definitely wasn't disappointed! 2 for 1 cocktails 4-6pm was also a nice treat!
A. P.
Great food, fantastic value. Banger of a place
V. T.
Good service and staffing, food was very tasty
A. E.
Love this place for food. Selection of hot meats on tap delivered to your table by waiter. Been twice and doesn't disapoint Amazing
R. T.
Great place to bring the kids for a meal. Kids prices are inexpensive and there is a huge variety of meats and sides to choose from. If you want a sauce, but don't want to pay extra, get the mushrooms: the gorgonzola cream sauce is awesome with the steaks.
E. V.
Very tasty food....good prices, and the buffet was a real deal
P. B.
Amazing Meat and cuts. 2nd time we've visited. The first time we visited it was fantastic all around. Fast service, great food and polite staff.
This time round I'm not too sure 😞
The meat cuts great.... but overall the service was all over the place. In my personal opinion you had far too many people crammed onto one space and not enough staff serving.
We had to wait 30 minute (only after I said something) for the appetisers to hit the table. It took 3 attempt to get the correct servings we had asked for.
1 of the chicken wings was raw pink in the middle and bled on the plate 😲.
Staff looked overwhelmed and stressed. I felt sorry for them.
It took around 15 minutes for each drink serving to hit the table from order.
In 2hrs we didn't get a single slice of pizza.
To top it all off, the live music being played was so loud we couldn't even talk to the people sat at our table, despite being sat in the middle of the restaurant. I love live music. As a rock/metal fan I can tolerant loud..... but at a restaurant like this, I expect to be able to talk to my family while eating.
1st visit - 9/10
2nd visit - 2/10
Not sure what happened tonight guys but I dis feel let down :( Meat Fantastic, service not so good.
A. I.
Highly recommended.
Being in quite many rodizio style restaurants.
Most of them offer good value for money, but this particular place is one of the best in its niche.
Service 5 out of 5
Kitchen 4 plus out of 5 .
Speedy food and drinks delivery
J. D.
Great food albeit a bit pricey!
D. L.
Good Brazilian, certainly wasn't hungry when I left!
T. J. F. (.
Thank you so much for a highly enjoyable family experience. Everyone loved it, from the sides to the variety of meats that came out. Everyone was stuffed and left extremely happy. We will be back ❤
b. l.
Went with some friends. Nice meat , well cooked , and many sides.
My disappointment is that the price is not advertised in the menu on the only option available (meat and sides buffet)
d. d.
Brilliant service, took my 2 lads 12 and 15 who loved it. Would definately return.
M. P.
The meats are flavoured beautifully and it feels like good value for money.
L. B.
Amazing dining experience this place was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to York I wish we had something like this in Nottingham I would definitely be a regular
J. L.
Amazing food, great attentive friendly staff
S. H.
Amazing experience, great staff and the meat was as good as any steakhouse. The sides were fabulous also but obviously the main star is the many cuts of meat that they offer. Wish I lived nearer so I could return more often!
L. O.
My husband and I love coming here for date nights. The pricing is reasonable for a meal and the food quality is exceptional. Their Brazilian tapas dishes are really authentic- the feijoada and pão de queijo are favourites of ours.
I recommend booking a table, because you don't want to miss out and they're often busy!
N. M.
Great value, great service, plenty of selection. My only regret is that I couldn't handle any more!
J. C.
Spare of the moment and on the off chance 6 of us popped in today 20/11/2021 to see if they had a spare table on a Saturday at 6pm and they didnt disappoint they was very accommodating to squeeze us in at a very busy and the food was outstanding and i would definitely recommend to anyone, all staff was very friendly.
A. B.
Beautiful food! Amazing staff! Loads of things to try would definitely come again!
J. L.
Great restaurant, wonderful selection of meats and very friendly staff. Highly recommended.
L. H.
Absolutely stunning food yet again! They're now also doing pizzas and they are easily the best pizzas we've had, not only in York but the best we've had in a long time!
Staff were very polite and friendly also. Worth every penny.
D. H.
I must admit that I was most surprised and impressed by the experience enjoyed at this type of restaurant.
It is advised to have a hearty appetite as the food keeps in coming in what is like a carvery style of serving brought to your table.
We enjoyed meats of all kinds including sausage, beef,lamb,pork,chicken,warm pineapple and even pizza.
To accompany this was served rice,mixed veg,coleslaw, black beans,roast potatoes and salad.
The food was washed down with a bottle of prosecco and water,resulting in a total cost of £87.
For one I thought it was worth it as you quite literally eating non stop from the moment you are served until you leave,so for people with voracious appetites, this is definitely the place to go.
With friendly staff and dining in pleasant surroundings, I fully recommend a visit to enjoy the experience.
B.
As a Brazilian myself visiting York, I was pleasantly surprised with the authentic and delicious food I had here. Recommend you try cassava chips and fried banana, also the black beans. Super good :)
G. S.
Fantastic meats, be careful you will want to try them all and then you'll feel meated to death, but it's worth it 😆
S. R.
Been coming here since it first opened as Vaqueiros - always a treat
Great service, fantastic skewered meats on offer, all-you-can-eat side dishes to your table

Great place to eat plenty of options that keep coming round and amazing staff that make you feel very welcome our receipt said our server was called Brenda and I can't praise her highly enough for her excellent service and the care she took to ensure we knew the system in place for the different types of food available
J. B.
Wonderful restaurant, the staff are very friendly, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is great.
They had a gentleman playing an accordion who deserves a 5 star rating himself.
M. S.
Delicious food and friendly and helpful staff.
My and my husband enjoy being here very much.
Place is a suitable for baby's as well.
Great food, grate place, grate people.
I. M.
What a truly amazing experience. The meat selection was superb and the flavours incredible. Staff were very attentive and price was justifiable.

A great all you can eat restaurant with very high quality meat and sides. There isn't much parking near by so I'd recommend that you pre-plan where you will park before hand
J. S.
Better than any rodizio I've had in London/elsewhere in the UK. Truly impressed. Delicious! Wide range of meats (beef, chicken, lamb, pork) and free accompaniments. Make sure to get rice and beans with the farofa.
S. B.
Came here with my two children as a little treat. I have honestly never seen them eat so much... Even my fussy 5yr old stuffed her face till she near popped. And my 14yr old's eyes lit up everytime someone passed by with more meat to offer..this is a child that rarely even eats meat.
The meat is just amazing.. Cooked to absolute perfection, and totally melt in the mouth....the pizzas are a lovely new touch too. Just gutted we were too stuffed to try the dessert ones, as was really looking forward to them. Something to look forward to on our next visit though.
The team were very attentive without being overbearing. And it felt safe, despite a global pandemic.
Very reasonably priced, given the quality of the food and the fab service.
Would defo highly recommend to all my friends and my kids can't wait to book back in for their birthdays.
T. W.
Was there for the early bird last night. As it was quiet, service was superb. My wife ordered fish, sea bass. That fish was absolutely excellent, served beautifully and the taste wonderful. The meats were all served tender and succulent and piping hot. The staff, bravo lads you made our night.
D. V.
Great food, meat was succulent and cooked. The sides were so tasty and well seasoned. The staff were polite and very welcoming, great service. 👍

Absolutely superb! All you can eat and everything is delicious, the meat is beautifully cooked! Highly recommend!

Went for a special meal with family and I couldn’t have asked for a better place. Meat was cooked to perfection, seasoned sufficiently, the two guys serving our table were lovely and polite and the salad bar and desserts were delicious.
The two men at the table next to us were complaining about something that was their own fault, yet the restaurant dealt with their complaint and resolved their issue to their satisfaction, which shows this place really care about their customers.
H. ç.
Everything was amazing 🤩 Thanks for the experience 👏🏻

Excellent choice of food to compliment the meats
S. R.
We've been to quite a few all you can eat Brazilian meat restaurants and this one was up there with some of the nicest, and at a fraction of the cost. It's definitely worth a visit.
E. 1.
Really good quality of meat and the side selection was great too! Friendly servers as well. Also price was cheaper than on the website so always ring ahead to ask for updates. Great time spent all in all.

Great food. Great service. Atmosphere alive. Fab cocktails. Look out for half price 4 to 6.

Amazing staff, amazing food! Love the concept, it’s very unique and it works amazingly! The food is brilliant, full of flavour! The staff are absolutely amazing, very kind and genuine. Loved every second of it! A big thank you from the two polish girls :)

Selection of food is amazing! Great service!

Great place to go for a good meat fest, good choice on cuts and very friendly service, plenty of sides given as well, drink's a tad pricey and limited, seems to have improved since name change/take over though 😉
P. L.
Fantastic meal, all you can eat served at the table. The quality and variety of meats were superb and servers really friendly.
S. R.
Wow, food amazing, staff amazing. This place is brilliant a must do if staying over in york. Would definitely recommend to everyone nice relaxing atmosphere not rushed at all and the food was second to none. 10 out of 10
H. W.
Really impressed. Been to a couple of these types of restaurants before they are ether really good or really bad so wasn't sure which way this was going to be but was impressed
p. n.
Juicy cuts of meat and delicious sides (except the rice, too dry for my taste). Very friendly and attentive staff. I felt like I was about to die from overeating, so unfortunately this place is a one-time visit.
E. G.
This is how it's done! Best eatery I have ever been to! 10/10 pick your sides and they run round like maniacs with fine cuts of meat (17 different types) cooked to your liking. No wait forever for your food!
D. “. B.
Okay food. Rump meat was tough at lunch, but the chicken, sausage, pork belly and gammon were nice and tasty. The staff were nice and friendly. Salad bar was nice.
Update: Contacted by the manager at Vaquerios about review as they wanted more information about meats that were not nice. This shows they care, which is nice. Well done to management. They explained about the different cuts of meat and the variances that may occur. We were advised, in the email, that should the meat not be our satisfaction to mention this to the waiting staff, who would change the cuts, that would now be my advice too. With the contact from the manager Richard I have decided to change my rating, and add in what meat was nice, as customer service seems to be at the heart of what they do, so if you don't like something, tell them whilst you are there.
M. J.
This place is just food porn. All the best cuts of meat brought straight to your table until you say you've had enough!!
K. R.
Brilliant for both me, on a low carb diet, and a meat loving boyfriend. Great variety of cuts of meat, and a nice salad bar. The staff are excellent, attentive and welcoming. All rounded off by a brilliant espresso. We'll definitely return. Recommended.
B. C.
Lina was the best!!! We had a lovely evening, the food was great, all the staff was lovely and made us feel welcomed, will come back definitely
j. r.
Unlimited meat! They do not mess around. They aren't stingy on the meat. You want meat you get meat. Worth the money.
Staff were lovely as well!
A. H.
We popped in on the off chance as a big work group. The waiter (Danny) really looked after us There was 18 of us, we hadn't booked and he sat us down almost immediately after creating a large table for all of us. He explained the concept and how service worked and looked after us all night. It was amazing value for money considering we must have eaten an entire cow between us. One of our group (I'm not mentioning your name H?) is also a vegetarian. They have 3 vegetarian options on their menu and even a vegan option, which went down well with our non meat-eater. The food was freshly prepared for her and she absolutely loved it, which made our night all the more better as we weren't worrying about someone not enjoying themselves. Thanks for the great night Danny! We'll see you again soon, Alex

First time ive been to this type of eatery and really enjoyed the food

Delicious foods served by very helpful staff. The varied foods were cooked perfectly and they just kept coming.
R. S.
We went on a Sunday so had all the options available. Meat is okay, not as tender as expected but it is unlimited. Very good service.
J. K.
Excellent meat and atmosphere !
R. C. R.
Good restaurant! I still haven't found a steakhouse restaurant worthy of Brazilians in these regions, but this one is quite good.
P. B.
2nd visit to this amazing restaurant. We visited last year when here and loved it so much we had to come back.
We booked as it was a Friday night. Took our seat, chose our drinks (can recommend the Antarctica Brazilian lager) then got our salad from the buffet. The waiting staff come round with about 11 different meats and you have a coaster with yes or no to indicate if you want more meat or not. Eat as much or little as you chose for a fixed cost. Staff are all excellent and the manager, Miguel, is very attentive. Highly recommended if you are in York
T. W.
My first experience of this type of restraint, loved it. Staff friendly and helpful, food really good 😊
B.
Visited here on Thursday 1 March. Went on a Groupon
The staff were very friendly and helpful. I am a meat lover and all the meat was cooked to perfection. The cap of rump I think was the best I have ever had. In reply to the gentleman who said his meat was raw you could have asked the server for well done as it states on the board that you can request how you would like it cooked. The salad bar choices were really good too, as we're the cocktails. If you like meat this is a must place to go and I will definitely be eating there again soon
G. V. H.
We went in for lunch at 12:30 on a Wednesday. It was empty, so we did not know what to expect. The food and service was amazing, in a really relaxed place. The salad bar had both plain and unusual salads, we tried everything ... even those red chillies. There was a whole rack of hot dishes, with some very spicey dishes. The freshly cooked, garlic beef, pork and chicken just kept appearing at the table. 24 hours later we are still struggling to eat anything else, as we did over eat a little. What a refreshing change to find a good feed with just a single cover charge. We suggest you go there hungry 😊
J. H.
Awesome food. Great service. Value for money
S. C.
Excellent food. Great service.

Great value. The meat was very tasty. Staff were friendly and helpful. We will be back on our next visit to York.

Every dish perfect. Excellent service and friendly staff
S. B.
Very good place to eat. But be prepared to eat A LOT. There's a buffet where you can pick up as many sides as you want and then you get this red/green card which indicates whether you want more meat or pause. Staff with various kinds of meat pass by regularly and they cut you slices as long as your card's on the green side. The meats were really tasty and the price is about 26£ per person.
N. D.
Great food, as much as you can eat. Fixed price
R. R.
Me, my partner and our 2 young children visited here for lunch the other day after been recommended to us by a friend....and we weren't dissapointed! Excellent service, beautiful clean restaurant and most importantly the food was amazing. Aside from the obvious thumbs up for the endless meat and delicious buffet, what really impressed us was the quality of the food. Will definitely be returning soon.
A. F.
So welcoming, it’s one of the nicest restaurants in York. The staff are genuinely nice and always helpful.
It’s the second time I’ve been and it was just as good as our previous visit.
Great salad bar and succulent meat. We’ll be back for date night next month!
D. G.
Me and my wife has Dinner here last night and must say we found the whole experience outstanding. Greeted by a lovely hostess and served by lovely members of staff very polite and always checking we had everything we needed. Must praise the manager / Host ( Miguel ) lovely Gentleman made us feel very welcome.
Very happy with service and food.
Many thanks Mr and Mrs Gunter
M. H.
Very very good for meat eaters
S. G.
Food - most of the meat menu reached us over our two hour stay, but it was far too salty. The accompaniments were great and helped to balance the saltiness (although it was still overpowering!).
Atmosphere - the atmosphere was lively although too noisy with children screaming and running between tables and adults shouting. A fight broke out in the toilets but was dealt with by the staff well. Tables that were rowdy and swearing were not told to quieten down.
Covid security - perhaps we should have guessed but carving meat table side was a bit worrying in a pandemic. As expected with this type of food, the same hunk of meat was taken to each table and so could be a source of transmission. Also, the restaurant was quite packed and loud.
However despite the problems, it was an exciting new experience and we still had a nice evening.
T. B.
Best restaurant I've ever been to. Really lovely staff, amazing food that came out often, and a great salad bar that had more than just the basic salad you're used to seeing everywhere.
Drinks and dessert were a little expensive but the great value for money on the main meals more than made up for it.
J. H.
What a place! Great food, great service by a very polite gentleman. Felt welcome and warm in a friendly environment. £15 each for unlimited buffet with 2 shots given for free at the end. Recommend highly.
A. G. L.
We had a great evening at Vaqueiros! The meat is cooked to the temperature you request. The waitress that seated us was lovely. One of the waiters, Alex, was particularly outstanding; he was very friendly and attentive. He also suggested we try a typical digestive drink called Cachaca. It was delicious! A lovely experience overall!
G.
Casa rodizio offers the traditional Brazilian rodizio. The waiter will come to the table with different cuts of meat and slice it in front of you. The variety and quality of the meat is excellent, as it is the service and price. If you are a meat lover, this place is highly reccomended. They also have Brazilian tapas and veggies too, so everybody is happy. Don't forget to put some farofa (cassava flour) on your dish!!!!
C. R.
Great food, friendly service, nice atmosphere, well worth a visit!
C. H.
Went today with family. Literally have nothing bad to say about this place. Great food, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. We were instantly welcomed and looked after perfectly. Will definitely be coming again.
C. H.
Salad bar is exceptional, and you could easily feed yourself there and be good... however, the real reason to be there is the 16 or so meat choices, sliced right at your table. All you can eat... for as long as you need. Go hungry, leave immobilized. Wait staff were on point, and if you needed a 'meat break' they dutifully retreat, only to return when you are ready. Top quality food. £25 per head, with drinks and dessert extra. Worth every penny.
R. C.
Found by chance whilst shopping. Excellent food, cap of rump now my favourite, not heard of it before. Good salad bar and sides. My teenager son also loves it. Friendly staff Definitely be back.
G. C.
Excellent food and service, nothing was too much trouble for Miguel who was attentive to everything and a perfect host. With a constant supply of meat cooked over open flame and a superb salad bar there is something for everyone. Would not hesitate to recommend Vaqueiros.
E. D.
Incredible choice, excellent food😍 great service too, the lads were great. Different meats were bought out throughout the meal and they were all stunning. Amazing place to eat xx
L. T.
Nice experience. Very nice cocktail. Food was very good. But service could be better.

Amazing steak. Miguel and all the staff really friendly and welcoming. I’ll be back for sure
B. I.
Nice and different.. unlimited salad bar and no end of meat brought to your table every few minutes until you've simply had enough.. great value at £15 for the lunchtime (served until 4pm) menu.
L. E.
Me and my girlfriend drove from Hull to have a meal at Vaqueiros tonight and what an absolute pleasure it was to eat in a fantastic establishment like Vaqueiros, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of the staff who served us tonight in such a polite,
friendly, and very professional manner.
From the moment we walked in to the moment we left the service was first class and the food was absolutely fantastic, I can't remember the last time we dined out with such a relaxed atmosphere we had a great night out. Needless to say we shall be returning there in the not to distant future and I would seriously recommend this establishment for a meal what they are doing is very very good.
N. D.
Great place with amazing food. One of the best places for steaks. Recommendation would be to order mushroom as a side and use that as sauce for the steak
n. f.
Does what it says on the tin, no airs or graces, buffet food with freshly cooked meat "on tap" I enjoyed my visit greatly but there was an awful lot of rare meat, too rare for my tastes. I think you can ask for things to be cooked for longer, in spite of that I'd visit again. Visit hungry and with time to spend.
E. S.
Food was amazing, really enjoyed it and service was great. At the front of the restaurant is a small set of stairs (5 or 6 maybe) with a hand-rail but no lift or ramp that I could see. Good space between tables and in front of buffet. The buffet is up on tables which is ideal for me as I don't have to bend to reach but I imagine would be difficult for someone using a wheelchair.
P.
Fantastic place to eat. The good is brilliant. There is so many different dishes to choose from and of course the meat keeps coming until you say stop....we tried it all and was really well cooked, beautifully flavoured and served on the BBQ skewer it had been cooked in with each bit being cut off the meat in front of you.
The staff were really friendly and accommodating and I chose to leave a tip which is not always what I do being British. In this case the tip was very well earnt!
It's a real shame we are not local but we will certainly be making a bee line for Vaquerios if we make it back up to York anytime..
J. C.
Food is excellent. Fresh meat, pizza was incredible. Beer is bottled, but still very nice.
J. P.
Excellent food. Very friendly service, explained how the food service worked. Meat Cooked exactly as requested very fresh well presented selection as the salad bar and all labelled clearly. Very reasonably priced lunch.
R. G.
The food was far too nice, I ended up eating much more than I had planned. Loved the concept, and the flavours of the meat were fantastic!
A. O.
What a fantastic place. We have been to something similar in Manchester so when we looked up places to eat in York this was on our "hit list" and it didn't disappoint. We went at 4pm to ensure we got a table, as I know if you leave it it later you really need to book. Food was lovely, staff excellent and very accommodating. One of the surprises was that they actually asked how you would like your steak cooked and made sure that it was to your liking when it reached your table ready to be carved. The staff couldn't do enough and despite us annoyingly taking pictures of every course, they always had a smile on their faces. One of the nicest things was that we accidentally left our picture that we had taken at the dungeons but only realised when we were back home the next day. I called them and they had found it on the table, kept it and kindly offered to post it back to us which we are extremely grateful. What a wonderful place and wonderful staff. I would highly recommend anyone visiting York, to make sure they visit Vaquerios for food. Just Perfect.
N. G.
Second time I have visited, the service is fabulous, from when you book a table to leaving you are made to feel welcome and valued as a customer. The food was lovely and our party had a lovely time. Thank you to all. Highly recommend a visit
M. E. (.
Definitely come again and recommend this place. Huge selection of charcoal grilled meats continually bought to table and a slice given untill you skip or stop.
These are salty but extremely tasty and I believe quality meat.
Good salad selection and extra bits cheese of some sort olives and dressings.
P. W.
Absolutely fantastic place, the meats were beautiful and the salad bar fresh. Staff were really helpful and willing to explain how it all worked. My wife, 7yr old and me left very happy!!
M. R.
Excellent meal and evening. Live music that made the atmosphere just right and really wonderful staff always on hand. Would go back here in a heart beat. My new goto place when in York with company. Even with kids they were able to cater for us all and we had a great time.
J. G.
Jacob was wonderful - great beer recommendations.

Amazing food good pricing very friendly staff.

Not the best but not bad, make sure you go on an empty stomach to get your moneys worth
S. M.
Delicious food and fabulous service. Caught the early bird offer at 4:30 on Thursday and felt like we were getting a very personal service even though there were others in the restaurant.
A tasty selection of salads as well as bbq meat. Veg and piscetarian options available.
D. T.
The staff were efficient, friendly and knowledgable. The food was delicious and a very relaxed atmosphere.
J. C.
Great idea, lots of really nice sides that you can eat as much as you want, try black bean stew it was delicious. Meat all really nice well seasoned and cooked to perfection. Service was good, never had an empty plate and price was right.
M. B.
Went for lunch with some friends as part of their wedding present. The second time we have been and it was amazing !!!! Everything about this place is so good. Service and the food is fantastic. If your in York and want great food go you won’t regret it.
M. D.
Just been for a meal at this place. Such an amazing resturant! Very welcoming and food is excellent. Different cuts of meat coming around all the time and as much as you want to eat. Would definitely recommend this resturant and will be coming back!
J. F.
Nice atmosphere good buffet
G. C.
Very nice food. All you can eat grilled meat with a variety of sides (buffet). You have a set price and they come with one type of meat at the time, so you eat all of them and if you want you can repeat (if you manage to 😁) Great quality of meat and not expensive at all. The price is more than worth it. We are considering going again before we leave York as it will be difficult to find better. Super nice staff... all of them but specially Miguel. And decor is super welcoming

My wife and I have had the privilege of eating here on a number of occasions and it just gets better and better. Food is sensational and the staff were so friendly and extremely helpful. This is a must visit restaurant when you visit York. Andy & Alison 😁👍

First class in every respect. The food is simply magnificent, very reasonable prices and the staff are amongst the very best. Cannot fault it, we'll definitely be back.

Fantastic selection of meats, cooked exactly how you like it. Salad bar is exceptional and you can enjoy as much as you can manage. Good food, good choice and great value for money
D. G.
Brilliant! Food was excellent and to say plentiful is an understatement! Staff fully aware of covid restrictions and very friendly and efficient. Would definitely recommend.
S. S.
Great restaurant with excellent and attentive service! The chicken hearts are a particular favourite of mine; don’t be shy to ask for whichever you want!
Joseph and his colleague(a dark haired girl) looked after us all evening making sure we had everything we needed and were great fun as well!
Both my partner and I are on a low carb diet and enjoyed the variety a great deal and the salad was delicious too; after all this is a Brazilian BBQ, not salad!
Will return again!
J. C.
Great meat selection. Very friendly staff, had time for their guests and were fun. The food was amazing. Definitely recommend.
C. G.
I'd recommend heading here on a Monday. £20 for a rodizio, which included several different cuts of steak alongside some delicious other meats. Drinks are well priced and it has a lovely atmosphere and waiting team.
S. A.
Fantastic food with great service
M. W.
We were on a birthday midweek break in York and loved this place so much we visited twice. Stunning cuts of meat and an outstanding buffet. Very amiable and pleasant staff. There is also a very good choice of Brazilian beer.
J. L.
Delicious meats, great service. The salad bar was slightly lacking in dressings and options but the main things are the meats so who cares about salad, right? The guys came around with meat often and they were cooked medium most of the time
T. C.
Food and staff were both great. Also live music, which added atmosphere to a quieter restaurant. All in all a good night out and recommended to those that like plenty of meat. The picanha rump was lovely Mmmmm
A. S.
Fantastic so enjoyable , service was first class and meats to die for and so friendly highly highly recommend, will be back again.
P. C.
We got married in York on June 20th we had 22 guests eating at Vaqueiros, the staff couldn't do enough for us and our guests. The food, restaurant and whole experience was fantastic. My wife's daughter is vegan and they went out of their way to cater for her. Next time we're in York we'll be paying a visit
M. M.
Great place - you can try variety of meat, you can choose how well it’s done. Plenty of choice in salad bar section considering you are most likely there to eat meat and not the sides.
Loved it!
The staff was very friendly.
Restaurant is child friendly as well :)
B. G.
Bustling authentic Brazilian restaurant. Fantastic food, especially the meat - don't fill up on the bottomless salad, the meat is all you can eat too! We were a little put off at first because it's a bit of a weird vibe if you're not used to it, but stick with it - it's definitely worth it! Friendly staff and great value for money. All around good time, highly recommend.
I. S. (. I. S.
Excellent food, excellent service. Very friendly and helpful staff. The meats were really cooked to perfection, especially the lamb.
Will definitely return on my next visit to York.
K. S.
Amazing place. Food have definitely the delicious Brazilian taste and the staff was really friendly, polite and made us feel welcome. I definitely recommend this for who likes meat and please do not forget to try the cassava. It is one of my favourite brazilian dishes and they do it just as it is in Brazil. I was missing that from home... also the owner went out of his way to come and talk to us, which was really nice. (I want a Vaqueiros in Mansfield please!!)🇧🇷 😊
Obrigada.
c. y.
Absolutely amazing meat cooked to your liking. salad bar lovely and great choices. staff really friendly and can't do enough for you. defiantly recommend
M. S.
Wow! What a find.
My girlfriend and I planned a weekend in York and booked this place in advance. The concept is fantastic in that you are issued a beer mat essentially which is green on one side red on the other. Various members of staff approach you over the course of your meal with large skewers of different cuts of meat (24 types) and if you're mat is green side up they just carve meat onto your plate, if its turned red they usually walk by. Brilliant!
The staff were very welcoming, the price was decent for what we had and the atmosphere was great. We will be back again at some point I'm sure. Well worth trying.
m.
The food was ok but not fine dining. You can eat as much as you want for about 20 pounds, which sounds good, but you don't get particularly good cuts of meat. I didn't realise it was this type of restaurant until I got there, otherwise i would have gone elsewhere. The people working there couldn't have been nicer.
D. M.
Amazing Restaurant! I'd never been to a Brazilian Rodizio before. The owner (Eduardo) was working and really looked after me. He explained the service and how it worked. The service was attentive without being intrusive. He was really proud of his restaurant and so be should be. It was the most enjoyable part of our visit to York and I can't wait to come back with the rest of my family. Thank you for making my anniversary the best ever!
N. F.
My husband and I visited this wonderful place in December last year during our anniversary weekend in York. The food and service were faultless and my husband loved it so much he has been having daydreams about the food ever since. If we lived in York we'd likely be here on a regular basis, but alas we live in Nottingham and there is nothing even similar to this around here. We'll definitely be back.
J. H.
Fantastic service. Food was outstanding. Would come back again even though we don't live here. This is a must place to visit.
I. B.
Great food. Looked like the staff were avoiding us / pacing with us as we were four hungry twenty-something year old guys. We left feeling satisfied anyhow.
o. k.
Absolutely the best place to eat in the world (and I am not exaggerating). Quality meats, an amazing salad buffet and the most helpful staff you can find. Definitely recommend.
E. R.
Great food, friendly and helpful staff would go there again next time I'm in York.
Great venue for a family gathering. Comfortable surroundings tasty and fresh food and copious amounts of meat. What more could you want?
H. H.
On a low carbohydrate diet at the moment so we chose this restaurant salad choice was a bit limited, but only because of my diet. The meat choice was fabulous and they arnt shy with it on the whole I would definitely revisit
B. C.
Great service and would easily return. Food was impeccable with a varied choice of meats. Easily recommendable especially for the price.
D. C.
Excellent food, very friendly and helpful staff. We went with our two kids who also loved it. Highly recommended and we will be back.
A. H.
Great food and great sevrice. Lina made us feel very welcome

First visit here tonight... amazing place!
Didn't know there were so mamy different cuts of meat, each one with its own delicious flavour and texture! Great salad bar and accompaniments, lots of traditional Brazilian dishes and flavours. Fantastic place, lovely staff, highly recommended! Thanks
G. W.
WOW! BEST MEAT EVER!
If you like steak and or meat this is the place to try it. The food was amazing, basically you help yourself to salad, then your waiters bring a never ending stream of different meats to your table cooked to your liking.
I had lamb, chicken, belly pork, and god knows how many differet types of beef. Each had a totally different flavour from what youre used to eating elsewhere, its £25 and i think you can eat as much as you like. Amazing flavours from the quality of meat and how its cooked. The cokctails were pretty strong too.
The only thing i would say is that the waiters need to explain the process a little slower but apart from that an amazing experience.
C. S.
Very attentive staff. Whole family rolled back to the bus stop as we were sooo full. Youngest lad said it was Mega!
M. T.
The waiting staff were quick to find us a table and offer us a drink, the salad bar was quite varied and the food plentiful on it. The staff explained the green and red card system but this was where the service fell down. We waited a long time between rounds of meat being offered. The serving was sexist as I was always given a smaller piece than my husband. He was on several occasions offered more meat which was not extended to myself. The same meats came round again and again. Whilst we were expecting a choice of at least a dozen only about five were available. Overall compared to many Brazilian restaurant experiences this was disappointing.
J. B.
Amazing Brazilian Restaurant, so authentic! The best Brazilian food I've ever had. Great value, amazing atmosphere. We visited on a Thursday and there was live music. It made the night even better. Thanks for a great night.
P. L.
Excellent service, great food, definitely one to try.
G. M.
Food was amazing, staff attentive and friendly. Wot could you want... Oh and meat.... 😜
J. K.
This is a meat lovers paradise although one of our party is vegetarian (two vegetarian options plus salad bar). Fantastic food including very fresh well made salad bar with excellent variety. No hesitation in recommending it and there are not many places i would normally recommend as highly. Impossible to go home hungry and very high quality too.
Update: CASA RODIZIO is the new name for vaqueiros. Visited again 3rd October 2020. Covid restrictions curtailed the salad bar but the quality of the food and service remain outstanding. I have done over 200 reviews and this is my very favourite restaurant EVER! Owner has really thought about service too. Rather than have 5 meats arriving at the same time, he is trying to get us to pace ourselves to appreciate the different cuts and tastes. Take your time and enjoy👍😋
M. D. (.
Went here at the end of the summer holidays, really enjoyed the food served to the table, the staff were friendly and enjoyed the cuts of amazing meat.
J. M.
Brilliant service with a great variety of meat which was constantly brought to our table so we weren't waiting around at all! Would have been 5 stars but I would have preffered abit more choice on the salad bar

It was good. But not extraordinary
M. H.
Great atmosphere, staff friendly and welcoming and excellent food! Will definitely return!
V. N.

Damn this place is good! I came with my young family. Peppe really looked after us. My youngest is only 1 year old and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. The quickly brought out a high chair and even had bottle warming equipment for us to use. Theyre really child friendly, the baby changing equipment was clean and new. Thakns for making our visit so special. We'll come back again.

Warm welcome on arrival, the restaurant has a Latin feel with a relaxed dining atmosphere, shown to our table, and told how the service works, we went to the salad bar, their was plentiful fresh salad items to choose from also some hot items, once back at the table the waiters bought the meat round, and wow skewers of chicken, steak sausages, it was excellent lovely choice cuts, flavoursome and juicy, a must visit place in York.

First time here and service amazing; experience even better. Music great too

Excellent food excellent atmosphere. And the staff were on cue with serving food vegan options also available. ideal location in the centre of York will be visiting again very soon.

Quite a good place, but be sure to know the Brazilian all-you-can-eat tricks :) Get just enough salad, not too much, skip the cheaper meats (probably a lot of those will be proposed before the especially fancy stuff). Also, if you go with multiple people, everyone has to finish the main course before anyone can get dessert, so ideally you would go in a small, dedicated group. :)
M. U.
Fantastic Brazilian barbeque, delicious!
C. C.
The place was very quiet for a Tuesday lunch but the staff were very attentive and friendly and the meat that was served seemed always freshly cooked. Good value for money.
D. C.
First time here and what a treat. The all you can eat salads were really good and the meat beautiful, staff very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend !

Geat food, service and cocktails 5⭐
S. A.
Nice buffet of salads ,rice,potatoes and sejection of mear dishes to start ot have on the side, then excellant selection of meats brought to the table, telll them your prefferance from rare to well done and they cut of accordingly..5 pound off between 4pm and 6 30pm but full range. I reccomend taking small slices of each and sharing tgen when you getting ffull finish with large piace of your favorite. Its the red and green card system to stop them bringing more but i kept on green and just skipped a dish occasinoly.. worth the price, excellant servuce good standard of food and selction of drinks with a few traditional puddings to fiinish if you can manage it.
G. N.

I came to England for the history, not for the food. Glad to have found this great spot in York. The food was delicious. Great feijoada. Great cuts of meat. Decent caipirinha. Yummy pudin for dessert. The service was good too. Highly recommended.
D. B.
Really enjoyed it, excellent service and excellent food, looking forward to going back when we are back in the again.

Great food, never felt so stuffed. I dont think i can eat for the next three days. Feels like I ate an entire perfectly cooked cow. Literally.
K. L.
Great dining experience.
A. F.
What an amazing place service is wonderful the salad bar is great but 9 cuts of steak all as much as you can eat plus other meats makes this great value for money. Just go hungry.
A. B.
Great food, well priced. All the staff were lovely although it was a bit of a nightmare to get drinks, drink service was really slow and a bit of a lucky dip.
S. T.
Food was alright, The staff were.. alright... it was just alright overall. spent waaayy too much time waiting for some of the skewers to come round though sometimes (in excess of 10min) and when you only get a small bit each time you end up getting fed up (especially when a table near by has three lots of skewers go to them in the time you have not had any...).
Doubt I'll go back again unfortunately.
G. L.
What a venue, awesome staff, the food is next level and I'll be back again soon ❤❤❤
H. B.
Friendly and engaging service from everyone. Food was fantastic too. I would recommend.
J. A.
Fantastic place with first class service and excellent food, been in York for a week and tried lots of different restaurants and bars, would definitely recommend this place and the liquor coffee was the best we've had, not to be missed for a great eating and drinking experience 🥂🍾🍷☕🍽
A. F.
What's not to like? More meat Sir? Oh go on then!
J. R.
Yum! Don't bother coming here if you're a veggie, the veg option was clearly not their strength. HOWEVER, the all-you-can-eat salad bar and the amazing meats were fantastic! Quite salty. I would deffo come back here!
M. T.

Fairly quiet on a Friday when the rest of York was busy. This meant staff had mo time for their diners. All very friendly. Food was good as well
O. P.
Excellent as always. Meat cooked perfectly as usual. Friendly and polite staff who clearly appreciate repeat business. No complaints at all!
J. M.
As much amazing meat as you can eat. Lush lush lush
I. S.
Great lunch, almost like an indoor BBQ. A tremendous salad selection and the cuts of meat just kept coming. Staff are genuine Brazilian and are helpful and friendly.
C. C.
Excellent place. Very good quality meat. Plenty of it and plenty of fresh salad. Lovely staff totally recommended
O. P.
Perfection.
Nothing else to say, nothing else needs saying. Literal perfection.
A huge range of meats brought to you, sizzling and cooked to perfection.
If you get the chance to eat here, do it - you will not be disappointed.
D. G.
Great food and attentive staff. Beautifully cooked meats and salads are delicious
F. N.
Awesome food, great service even when busy. Just make sure you don't stuff yourself with side dishes wait for the meat!
J. K.
There's a few of these Brazilian steakhouses cropping up in the UK at the moment. Fazenda and Estabulo have been kicking around for years in the neighbouring city of Leeds and with great success. This offers a very similar service and standard. Very tasty food, wide range of meats and various cuts. Essentially its a buffet but the meat is carved fresh from rotisserie skewers at your table. If you've not experienced an all you can eat steakhouse and you enjoy your meat, its worth your while. Its worth noting that in these eateries, the salad bar and suporting dishes as it were are incredible.
R.
The genuine Brazilian barbecue in York. The staff is very friendly. Edu is doing a great job. Well done !! We will definitely be back more often (we are from Newcastle)
M.
Really enjoyed the food here, the service was excellent and the frequency of food being offered by the waiters was excellent. I would recommend, this would be a good place to go in a large group too
G. M.
Great all you can eat venue. Lots of meats plus salad. Have been back several times. Different prices at various times - if you pick the right time (mainly lunchtime) you can get a great discount.
i.
Fantastic place. Both food and service of the highest quality. Totally recommended
J. T.
The food was good and the place was nice the buffet very fresh look and nice but didn't have any pork ham on this nite which I think you should know at the start, staff very friendly but maybe to over as one poured water in our wine glasses and then took them away and said that he take wine of Bill but didn't ..
D. M.
The meat was amazing! I really recommend this place
R. W.
All you can eat meat fest!
Quality food, salad bar is excellent, but the main event is the meat. Make sure you go in hungry .
j. b.
Nice food and good service salad bar was great meats kept coming not cheap but good value.
S. E.
The food was excellent.. The staff was super friendly and attentive. We will definitely come back again.

If you eat meat this is a must, so tasty and cooked how you like it. So many to try and cooked as you want it. Very much enjoyed made my weekend visit to York. Will be back.....
R. T.
Top class service, brilliant staff. Food was delicious and the place has a great atmosphere.
g.
The rookies may fill up on salad, bread and potato salad. The pros keep an eye on the swing door waiting for one of the 16 kinds of meat on a skewer to arrive at the table. The meats come round quickly but by the 16th those rookies who have paced themselves become the masters.
M. W.
Really tasty meats and great selection at the salad bar. Staff are really friendly and can't wait to help you.
O. B.
This food is MAGNIFICENT!! We attended the lunch buffet & the selection with INCREDIBLE!! Highly recommend this place if you want your money’s worth.👌🏼
R. M.
Glad to see Eduardo has reopened this restaurant.
Last time we went we enjoyed it thoroughly. Looking forward to dining there this week.
R. V.
If you're coming here come with an empty stomach! More meat than you could dream of wanting with a great variety. The entry price is expensive but you get more than enough meat for the price.
E. B.
Fast service and good choice of meats cooked based on your preference and buffet sides. Suitable for gluten free and veggie diets too.
D. P.
Friendly service, fab food - lots of choice of meats, salad bar, puddings, as well as a selection of Brazilian street foods such as pão de queijo, fried cassava, coxinha. This is now a regular for our family.

This place is the best I have visited here about 6 or 8 times over the last 2 years AND ITS THE BEST I HAVE EVER EATEN The service is 110% perfect staff very attentive and friendly THERE IS NO QUESTION OF GOING ANYWHERE ELSE WHENEVER I VISIT YORK ! The owner/manager of this place is one of the team of very professional staff and is very helpful in letting you know exactly what you are eating from the chips to the best meat IF IT WERE POSSIBLE TO GIVE THIS PLACE MORE THAN 5 STARS THEN IN MY OPINION THEY WOULD BE WORTH 10 OUT OF 10 keep up the good work team WE NEED YOU !

Good service and variety of meat and side salads offered. It's worth the money if you can eat a lot.
P. W.
A good venue for meat lovers. An all you can eat meat extravaganza. Only let down was that meat was always medium to rare so if you like meat well cooked not the place for you
A. F. R.
Such a good surprise. I been here the beginning of October for lunch. Salad bar and no stop meat was great and so cheap as well. I can't wait to come back 👌
