Expensive for what it is, but yummy 9/12/2004

OK, OK, I get it, they need to charge the big bucks for the variety and ""all you can eat"" aspects of the very well prepared meats. But still, I wish they had some cheaper options. We went for a special occasion, and that was a mistake. The ambience is more of a belly up and chow on MEAT. In the future this is a place I'd visit with my Dad, when I don't mind putting out the cash for us to be guilty gluttons. Pros: All the meat you want, well prepared dishes Cons: , "buffet" feel more

Lots of Food 8/19/2004

Great food, service and a lot of fun! Their rum drinks are excellent! Our group enjoyed great steaks, really tender. It is a a unique dining exerience. more

Has grown into itself 8/19/2004

When this place first opened, my opinion of it was fairly average. After frequenting it every couple of months over the last year and a half, I have to say the restaurant and it's staff have grown into themselves. The selection of side dishes and salad items may not be as large as others I've tried, but it's bigger than others as well. I have to say that their meats are cooked well (not necessarily well-done) with distinct flavors and spices. There are more meat items at dinner than at lunch, but that's not unusual. The staff has become attentive and gracious. They'll spend time to explain the style of restaurant to first-timers, and the Brazilian drinks to the adventurous. It's definitely worth a try for the carnivores. Pros: atmosphere, friendly staff Cons: small selection more

Okay food, no service 2/24/2003

After paying $25, I was lead to believe that this would pretty much be meat on the hoof. A friend who had been to a similar restaurant described it as ""Relentless meat until you tell them to stop."" This was pretty far from it. Overall, we were there for a good 2 1/2 to 3 hours, we probably had about 7 people total come by with food, and only 4 different things. Some of it was decent, others were so salty it was ridiculous. Getting a drink was a chore in and of itself sometimes too. This was my first Brazilian barbecue experience, I hope future ones are far better. more

Meat = Good 2/16/2003

Not the best price, not the best service and not the best atmosphere, but if you like meat, you will like this place. I really enjoyed eating here and plan to go again soon. The salad bar is also really good. If you want, they have a salad bar only option that is a lot cheaper than the $25 for the full buffet. But really, this place is all about the meat- and it is good and in my opinion, worth it. Pros: good food, local for me, plenty of parking Cons: expensive more

Great Experienc 1/19/2003

Come hungry, a wide variety of meats, well prepared. Side dishes and beverages are adequate, but come here for the grilled meats, served in large quantities and great variety. I wouldn't go often, but always a pleasant experience and a decent value for what you receive. Pros: Attractive dec, great grilled meats Cons: Service is average more

Too expensive 11/10/2002

There are no options here other than all-you-can-eat for $25 a person. Far too expensive a meal for no doggie bag. Cons: Expensive, Loud, Crowded more

A place for Atkins dieters 11/4/2002

I skipped the salad bar even though it looked great and went right to the hot sides and MEAT. The variety and quality was great. BBQ chicken was tender, lamb was tasty, pork with pineapple very good. Deserts were ok, cheesecake was light and flan was very custardy. Great for big party. Slightly loud. Pros: lots of meat, fun and different Cons: somewhat noisy more

You will love it!!! 10/21/2002

This is a great place if you love great quality meat, and I'm not talking just about steaks - they have beef, lamb, pork, chicken + salad bar. Good choice of wine and very good looking ""gaucho"" guys. This restaurant is very popular here in Southern California, no wonder why! Cons: Crowded more

Carnivore's Delight 10/6/2002

All the meat you can eat for one low price. The food was great but the service needs some improvement. they did respond quickly once they were told. Pros: , parking, no waiting Cons: service more

Great Meat Lovers Date 8/25/2002

If youre a meat lover and looking for a slightly different dining experience, check out Picanha Grill & Bar, a Brazilian restaurant near the Media City Mall in Burbank. After youre seated, you can help yourself, buffet-style, to vegetables, breads and other staple foods, but dont load up. When you sit back down, set the wooden cylinder, marked green on one end, red on the other and yellow in the middle, so green is facing up. This will signal the wait staff that youre ready for your meat. The wait staff circulates through the dining room, carrying skewers loaded with chicken, beef and pork. Youll have a pair of tongs with your place setting to pull your portion off the skewer. Make sure you try the bacon wrapped chicken. When youve had your fill of meats turn your cylinder up to the red side to stop any further temptation more

Here's the BEEF! 8/8/2002

Overall, you will not be dissappointed at Picanha! There is a plethora of meats to choose from, that are brought to your table contiuously from the grill they have in the center of the restaurant. The salad bar is the freshest I have seen! The quality of the meat is top notch! Pros: quality of meat, selection, presentation Cons: wait more

Can't beat their meat! 6/21/2002

Ok, I've been to a few of the other churrascaria restaurants around town, and the other establishments may offer few other things such as additional salad bar items as compared to Picanha, but the bottom line is I go to these places for the meat, and none of the other establishments are even close in terms of taste, period. Also, the pao de queso (cheese bread) here is tops as well. The service can be a mixed bag, but generally is good. The only thing that I do not like is that they typically do not take dinner reservations unless you are in a large party as I was told). I hope they change this policy soon as I go here fairly often. Pros: Food, Parking, Food Cons: Reservations?, Ventilation, Variety of side items more

Excellent Meats! 6/4/2002

I went here for lunch recently, and was very pleased! They offer a nice salad bar , complimented by costumed waiters who come around and carve an assortment of freshly cooked meats, off a large BBQ skewers, right onto your plate! The service was excellent and the food was superb. If you are a meat lover, I hoghly recommend you give this place a try! Pros: fresh hot food, excellent service more

Meat lovers rejoice! 5/21/2002

If you like meat then this is place for you. Vegans should stay away. The food is incredible. The pork is the best. more

Bring a Piranah's Appetite 5/16/2002

If you love meat, this is your restaurant. The choices are endless, and it's all you can eat, so definitely try at least one bite of everything. I highly recommend the filet mignon -- juicy, tender, delicious. The variety of chicken dishes are wonderful as well. If there's anything to avoid, I'd say it would be the sausages -- perhaps just a bit too decadent. The salad bar is a great compliment to the meal, but save lots of room for the entrees. The system for ordering is fun. Each table has a small cylindrical ornament with green on one side and red on the other. When you're ready to start, simply set it in view of the servers, who will come to your table with various types of meat at regular intervals. When you're full, just turn the ornament over to the red side so they stop. Pros: All-You-Can Eat, great food, great service Cons: No a la carte more
