Samba BBQ

This is the second time I came here and I have only found consistently amazing meats. I can only speak praise of this establishment. The cheese bread is home made and tastes amazing. The chimmichurri is house made and one of the best I've ever had. Each piece of meat that comes out is better than the last even if the pieces are on repeat. This restaurant is a must go if you ever get the chance.

I have been meaning to try Samba for some time. I really loved Mokja the previous restaurant, and didn’t want to say farewell to their most excellent margarita pizza with fresh basil and mozzarella. Big shoes to fill. Firstly, I’m so happy they preserved the antiquity of the charming bar section with the Tiffany lights, tin ceiling, antique signs, and that stunning and expansive, solid wood bar. All nostalgic treasures from years past. The bar itself is a great place to just have drinks and a small snack like a delicious choripan in a vintage pub setting. Either way, I finally dined at Samba and was really delighted with the new concept. I found out that the owners have roots in Brazil so this is really a labor of love and an effort to share authentic Brazilian food with our community. I wish I had taken better food pictures but in truth I was too busy enjoying the generous offerings as they emerged fresh off the grill. Highlights were the picanha, sausage, pork belly, chicken hearts, and baby beef. The meat was perfectly seasoned and had that perfect chargrilled barbecue flavor. It is also a fun food experience anticipating the passadores coming out with the skewers and slicing juicy cuts right onto your heaping plate. I loved the salad bar which had so many amazing additional dishes. Highlights were the carnitas, feijoada (black beans and sausage, Brazil's national dish), the bolinhos de arroz (fried rice and cheese croquette balls), pao de queijo, and beef stroganoff. The condiments were also amazing and I topped each bite with either the beautiful vibrant hot sauce, the adorable little spicy preserved red chilis in oil, pickled onions, or chimichurri. They all tasted homemade. The staff were all thoughtful and really make you feel like part of the family. They’re doting and care about your experience here. The owners are there hustling too and have a great presence there, like the very best mom-and-pop establishments. It is a more personal and intimate experience, versus other places where they’re more hands-off or nowhere to be found. Otherwise the Brazilian bartender was super lovely, and I was also so happy to see the OG manager was still there helping run the show. His kindness makes my day! It is a sumptuous meal and a steal at 39.95 a person (kids are discounted). They also had 5 beers and 10 caipirinhas when I went although I didn’t drink. I’ve been to quite a few churrascarias and this one stands out for their hospitality and warmth, in addition to their exceptional food. A very welcome and unique addition to our neighborhood!

Delicious food, meats! And fantastic freshly made caipirinhas. The staff is friendly and attentive. Ordered a Brazilian limonada (less sweet option). The meal started with cheese bread from Brazil. There’s a salad bar and buffet with some proteins, grilled vegetables and rice. 40 per person all you can eat. 13 and under is 25z Our favorite cuts were the baby beef and chimichurri steak. Definitely coming back.

Super friendly staffs and amazing food. Love the steaks and sauces. It was my first try of the Brazil cocktail and was successful. Definitely will come back.

Came here with my mom (who’s very picky when it comes to restaurants), and we both loved it! The meat was juicy and tasty and the salad bar was delicious too. Service is very friendly, and the interior is nicely designed and decorated. We had the Brazilian limonada, which was refreshing and paired well with the meat. Great value for 40 pp! Will definitely come here again. (I wish I had photos to share but we were so busy chowing down on our food that we forgot to take food pics. )

Cool place . Food was seasoned! Sides were also very good. The pineapple with brown sugar is a great way to top off the meal. I will visit again.

Updated review, restaurant / bar name has changed but food is delicious as usual, service too. Jin & Andrea took care of everyone. This time i was able to host the party there with family and friends. The bar is an old style bar but comfortable, not that many around and it’s clean, great food (see bar menu) and comfy. everyone agreed and had a great time. thank you.

This is my fourth time coming here, so that should speak volumes to the quality of food and service you get here. My partner is Brazilian and so we were very happy to find a local spot for good rodizio The prices are unbeatable at 40 bucks per person for ayce. The service is also great, with a special shoutout to Mr. "Z," who is always very warm and friendly. My asian-Brazilian family will always come here to support this establishment, and I would recommend you all to do the same
