Pros: Loved being able to eat with everyone else without having to wait! Lots to eat! All the table platters are GF on a normal basis - Brazi bites are delicious and can be purchased in the freezer section of your grocery store - they are naturally GF and everyone at our table loved them. Cons: There are two areas of concern. One is the dinner roll section of the salad bar which is separated from the rest of the buffet. Not hard to avoid. Second is a platter of chicken/sausage that roams around alongside the meats. You have to be vigilant to make sure it’s not added to your plate when you’re receiving meat. It felt very stressful to me. Once I figured out what I was looking for it wasn’t so bad. The sausage is spiraled on the skewer so that waiter stands out from the rest. But I would have enjoyed the experience much more if I wasn’t constantly on guard for the beer battered chicken to accidentally land on my plate.
Yes
Fantastic. Felt safe and delicious meats, Brazilian limeade, and salad.
Enjoyed myself. Went for a birthday dinner, I called ahead and checked the menu online and double checked on the buffet tour. It was nice to eat with everyone else
They seemed knowledgable about celiac disease. After avoiding the foods that I had been told too, I got glutened badly. The food was great but overpriced.

Expensive- you must pay $50 a person for endless meat and buffet. The men come around w various meats cooked Brazilian style on skewers and slice u a piece if your tag is on the green side. Flip it to red if u want them to skip u. Fried plantains and fine cheeses r great also. Must have the Caiphirinia drink! The mgr will tour u around the buffet of sides to show what's gf.
I went here for a company function and had resigned myself to getting sick. I was pleasantly surprised that the buffet had the cheese and meats on the totally opposite side from the bread, which was by the salads.
At the buffet I chanced tiny pieces of the prosciutto, papaya and star fruit. The tropical fruits weren’t ripe so I didn’t end up finishing these.
I signaled the waitress of my allergy and she brought out a detailed allergen list. This list showed most of the meats as having soy, which I worried was soy sauce. Though overwhelmed by our party of 16, the waitress eventually brought me the manager who took a trip to consult the chef who told me most meats were simply rubbed in lemon pepper and no soy sauce was involved.
Based on the advice of the waitress and manager, I tried several types of lamb and beef and did not get sick. For drinks I had Caipirinhas. Though they were listed as wheat free I did not try the Pão de queijo, which were prepared in a kitchen that also prepared bread. For dessert I wanted to try the flan, but they were “out” (I saw it being served to other tables, so they must have just run out) and was given vanilla ice cream.
Overall this restaurant did a great job taking care of me and keeping me safe on a very busy night.

So much food, we had great time here and left sooo full. A fun spot for the family, endless cuts of meat and salad bar. The rolls are safe, meats are safe, a few items on salad bar that we were warned of ( bread items). We had no reactions, nice lunch here.

Great experience here, told them of my allergy and they brought me a list of everything and their allergens: gluten was only in a few things! Safe buffet, all the meats except the tofu but I didn’t even see that. Highly recommended. All you can eat is $66 which seems like a great deal!

Mostly everything here was gluten free. I was hesitant at first and took some precautions, but everything was great. If you haven’t eaten this style before, they come around to your table with a slab of meat and slice off a portion if you want to try it. There are several meats that are not gluten free, but there were more than enough options without it. I was skeptical of the buffet, but [at least on the night I was there] almost everything on the table was gluten free. I stood there and watched it for 5 minutes before deciding it was worth it to check out a couple items. Taking off a star for safety due to the waitstaff; somewhat knowledgeable, but also apathetic and not willing to get answers very quickly (like 30 minutes into the meal when everyone else was already eating). My primary complaint was the servers — one was a little weird encouraging us to drink and drive (we did not, of course), and one just did not help at all. We went somewhat close to the opening and seemed like a decent amount of turnover with the waitstaff, so perhaps it was a logistical issue and has since improved. I had a vegetarian friend who went and found plenty to eat to hang with her family, but I’m not sure I would recommend that for the price point. I did not get sick, and was very full :)

I haven’t been yet but looking online it looks like their entire market menu is naturally gluten free. Apparently they can also serve Brazi bread. Hope to check out soon.
