Gol! The Taste of Brazil Delray Beach

Just came from there and I am beyond upset. Both the food and the service were horrible. Do your self a favor and DO NOT EAT AT GOL!!!!!! more

This place was a ripoff. !!!! \r \r This is NOT all you can eat meat restaurant,\r This is more an unlimited salad bar buffet with the option of "tasting" or "trying" meat.\r \r The gaucho guy would come every half an hour (or may be longer) offering you a very small piece of meat (i think they are trained to be stingy with meat so you have to fill up on salad bar instead) .\r \r Sometimes they leave without even offering you anything. For a moment i thought they were playing a joke on us.\r Also...very pricey.\r \r The meat was always under cooked (bloody) so if you like otherwise you are out of luck.\r After eating their meat , me and some of the people form my party had stomach aches and have to run to the toilet ....i was lucky a bathroom was near.\r \r We will Never come back again. more

i am very demanding about my drinks their caipirinha was perfect our friends loved their sangria\r the wine list is the most original and fabulous i have seen in florida i had a malbec blend that was out of this world\r the rib eye steak, sirloin steak and grilled shrimp was just perfect the salad bar had delicious carpaccio and calamari\r do not miss the chocolate mousse cake and the espresso more

Ok, Where to start... I live in downtown delray and definitely consider myself a foodie. I have been to 3 different brazillian steakhouses so knew exactly what to expect going to GOL! This seriously had to be the WEIRDEST, STRANGEST, AND WORST dinner I have ever been to. At first I thought that If i was a celebrity, this was definitely the show Punk'd. I bought the LivingSocial deal which was $68 for 2 dinners, bottle of wine, and 2 deserts ($128 retail). The waitress comes up and barely knows how to speak english. "White or Red?" That was all she said. We get white, and theres a bug in my buddys glass but were scared to even tell the red devil. Everything about the service was TERRIBLE and theres too many things to list of what she did wrong. I honestly cant think of one thing she did right but the juicy stuff doesnt even start with her so lets move on. Next, the "entertainment". Best way to explain this was extremely awkward, horrible, embarrassing, and CORNY!! The song choice was one thing ("girls just wanna have fun", "stand by me", "My girl"). It was the complete opposite of what I would expect from a Brazilian steakhouse. After one song, he started obnoxiously clapping very loud to get the rest of the restaurant to clap (no one did as we are all eating). Than during basically every songs chorus, he would turn off the music and try to get the restaurant to sing which it was empty and again, everyone was trying to eat! It was so bizarre that I had to start taking videos on my phone. It got to the point where me and my friend were HYSTERICALLY laughing at the entire situation considering it was extremely embarrassing for everyone involved. Next, the food. The salad bar consisted of rolled up turkey, salami, some other BS, vegetable soup, black bean soup, a bunch of other gross stuff. and I seriously couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the sign that said "mashed potatoes". I thought it was a white sauce. It was not a puree or any type of potato. if anything, It was potato soup and made me nauseous when I swirled the spoon into it. 100% completely inedible and wanted to say something to management but was too embarrassed for them. This is where I could not believe this place was open. The best thing from the whole restaurant was the pasta salad which me and my friend both ended up having to get full plates of in order to fill us up. Every single one of the steaks was extremely over salted! To the point as u can barely eat it. At one point I had a ball of salt in my mouth and had to spit it out. Also, all the steaks were abnormally fatty! And for me to say that, that means something cause Im always down for some fat in steaks. The guys who would walk around with the meats had no knowledge of the meats they were cutting, said stuff that didnt make any sense and caused the dinner to be even more awkward. It also took them an hour to start bringing out the food. My friend almost vomited at the table twice from the fat and once from the desert, and Im very surprised I was able to hold back my 12 gags. The waitress than rudely pops up out of no-where and asks "desert?" I said sure what do you have. She says "whatever you want". I look at her confused and she leaves. Than returns to say that they only have "Flan or Passion Fruit Moose". We ended up getting one of each. I tasted both and gagged at each one. Literally gagging. This is when I thought my friend was gonna loose it and actually let the chunks fly but we gained control. Keep in mind, the entertainer is now walking around the restaurant playing an electric guitar!! WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!?!? So I politely asked for the check immediately as I HAD to get out ASAP! and like the night couldnt get worse, the waitress has a drink on the check that we never ordered and a random $7.90 that should have been covered from our livingsocial deal. I mentioned it to the waitress but said I didnt care and was in a big rush to leave so to please run my card now. This is when I thought I was on the reality show Punk'd or Boiling points. She spent another 15-20 mins arguing with the "manager" about the check and looked like it got really heated. After about 20 mins, I couldnt take it and I had to get up and go grab my card to leave. I walk up laughing thinking I was on a reality TV show and asked where the cameras. They just started to laugh like nothing was wrong? And than proceed to tell me that they couldnt take off the $7.90 so they just ran my card AND THAN did the refund of the damn $7.90!! I couldnt believe it. I laughed and RAN OUT! I WILL NEVER BE GOING BACK TO THIS PLACE EVER AGAIN AND I HIGHLY STRONGLY SUGGEST TO SAVE YOUR MONEY AND NOT EVEN TRY THIS PLACE ONCE. I cant believe they try and charge over $60 per person for this!! Biggest joke of a restaurant Ive ever been too. Cant wait to see what goes into that spot when this dump goes under. Happy Eating :-) more

I loved the place!\r The meats were excellent and so was the sald bar and service.\r I was little concerned because of the bad reviews but decided to give it a try!\r It was aboliutely worth!\r Will go back... more

This was the poorest rendition of Brazilian food ever. Food was full of salt, salad bar had not been attended to all night. It was the very worst dining experience. Never never go!!! more

Incredible!!! My 6 yrs old daughter could not stop saying yummy from the moment she took her first bite and the servers went out of their way to make us comfortable. Great place!! more

Well where do I start .... Being married to a Brazillian and being of Cuban decent I know what brazzilian food taste like. This was absolutely the worst experience ever. The meat had no flavor, the wait staff took to bring out picanlla and the owner when told about the terrible expierence did not acknowledge our concern or disatisfaction. The yuca Frita was probably sitting there for hours in the chifandales... Honesty I would rather eat mcdonalds which I refuse to do so then eat here EVER again!!! Highly not recommended ! more

Ruined Fathers day... They claim to have valet parking. When we arrived in front there was no valet and no parking available in front. I double parked and we asked the woman at the outside desk where thier valet service was. She told us around the corner, a block & a half away. No big deal for most, but a big deal for someone with emphysema and arhritis. We went and left the car with the valet and walked to Gol. The same person we just talked to now informs us that they are overbooked ( we arrived at 8PM for an 8 PM confirmed reservation) and turned us away. What a bunch of inconsiderate jerks more

If you're a family of 5 (2 adults, 15 yo, 13 yo and 7 yo) and you like a limited buffet, hard to understand waitress, and meat brought around occassionally AND to wait 20 min for a bill with a shocking 208.00 pricetag, then this place is for you! more

Terrible place, worst Brazilian steakhouse. Meat had no flavor. Horrible service. I had to ask the server to fill my drink multiple times, soda was not mixed right. I had to ask where the food was because no one was walking around with the meat. The salad bar was weak, had nothing good or fresh. My cocktail even taste bad. The worst part- the entertainment! I did not pay $40 to listen to karaoke. Don't waste your time or money. more

Don't come on a Monday or when it is dead, all your meat will be well done and chewy. Desert blew also. Plus they can't make coffee. more
