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)

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!

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!

I'm still licking my chops....So much good food to chose from. I did read some of the previous reviews that were negative but I thought I'd find out for myself ! Sure enough, - [they were wrong !!!]...I really enjoyed the flavorful juicy meats that were carved and served hot from the skewer. This is truely a TREAT because they have so many selections to choose from; beef, chicken, sausage, pork and lamb. The other fun part of the meal is that you get to choose any of the dozens of hot and cold side dishes to accomodate with your meal. We really enjoyed our wonderful and happy experience dining at Picanha Brazilian Churrascaria. I also discovered that they have a location in Palm Desert . I happen to get the address for that location. 68-510 Highway 111 - Palm Springs (Cathedral City). We most definitely will visit that location next time while visiting the Palm Springs area. Try it folks, we truly will be going back soon !!!
Bon Appetit !!!
