CS Brazilian Steakhouse

“Very delicious! The bathroom is nice and clean, the salad bar is fresh, and there are many things you wouldn't expect to be at a salad bar, but it is very good! The steaks and different meats are delicious and tender. I highly recommend this place, but would recommend not eating before hand, and also not getting much from the salad bar, because they will keep coming, and you will feel guilty to say no only because those meats look so delicious!”

“The food and service was top notch. Tried several protein options and the salad bar was well stocked. Servers were super attentive. Great wine list also. Only complaint is the atmosphere. I've seen others comment on this and it is an issue. The tables are way too close together even though they weren't utilizing over half of the tables not sure why they had to crowd us all in. The seating is similar to the seating at a Asian buffet. They could do so much more especially with the price of dinner. I would go back but I will wear super casual clothes and probably go with my buddies rather than a "date night" due to the informal atmosphere.”

“We went for dinner on a Sunday for my son's birthday by his request. When we pulled in the parking lot, it was empty. I almost thought it was closed. Only 3 other tables were occupied when we walked in. There were 8 in our party. Service was slow from the start. Drinks took quite awhile and I ordered a mule only to be told about 15 minutes later that they were out of ginger beer. Another guest ordered a martini to be told they didn't have vermouth. Salad bar was good and steaks were good, but service left a bit to be desired. There were only a couple of choices of meat offered about 20 minutes apart. We had to flag down the gauchos a few times. There was no pork at all. The hot side dishes arrived at the end of our meal and were barely touched. The waitress was barely seen. When spending over $500 with 20% tip automatically added, we were very disappointed and most likely won't be back. When this place was located in Newark shopping center, it was phenomenal. Surprised at how far down it's gone.”

“This place Wawa’s recommended to my by my dental hygienist. We were in the area and looking for some place “new” to try. We arrived around 4:00 and the hostess asked us if we had reservations of course we didn’t so I asked if that was a problem. She proceeded to look on her tablet and said “it shouldn’t be a problem” I’m thinking, reservation? This place must be a hot spot. She walked us to our table and there were over 20 (I counted) tables empty. After we were seated a waitress came by and explained how the restaurant food service works. She was enthusiastic so we were looking forward to our meal. Then, someone comes over to our table and asked us if we had a reservation. I told her about the conversation we had with the hostess and asked if there was a problem I looked around at the 20+ empty tables thinking to myself, is she serious? I ordered a sangria and obviously I thought it shouldn’t take long to get my drink because there was hardly anyone in the restaurant. After waiting for about 20 minutes someone came over and asked me what brand of wine did I want in my sangria? Really? So it took another 15 minutes for them to bring me my drink. Hubby jokingly said “they must be out back stomping on the grapes.” The drink was okay nothing to write home about. We decided to take a look at the salad bar and it was very nice. A great selection of salad options, soup, cheese, hot vegetables and even a couple of entree dishes. We finished our salads and we were ready for the different meat options. The waiters brought the meats to our table and sliced very small portions of meat. The meat was horrible! It all tasted the same….like a bland leather shoe that sat out in the rain for two days. The waiters did not come by as frequently as the waitress said that they would. By the way, we never saw our waitress again. If you decide to still dine here after reading my review, don’t go too hungry unless you plan on filling up on the salad bar….and, oh! Make a reservation, they may only have 15+ tables available.”

“Took us a little over ten minutes to be seen by a server after being seated in a nearly empty restaurant, and when we had our seats, we needed to move because our table was extremely wobbly, couldn’t even begin to cut our food on it and needed to be moved. Once we were moved, we were placed right next to a table with 15+ people at it (mind you, the restaurant was mostly empty in this Saturday night. The table was very loud (they apologized multiple times, but the serves didn’t think to seat us somewhere quieter or further from this massive party). Once we were at our new table it took at least another 15 minutes to see any meat, and even longer than that before we received any hot starters. The service was beyond slow and inattentive considering the amount of people in the restaurant on a Saturday night. Once they had realized we were not enjoying ourselves the servers began to be more attentive but by that point, it was much too late. The food was fine, but they had far from the choicest pieces of meat. What we received seemed to cooked much earlier and was being kept warm. The website advertised 17 all you can eat cuts of meat, and not only did we only see each cut once, we were there for over an hour and barely saw half of the meats supposedly in the menu. The food staff left us wanting and we rarely if ever saw them walking the floor with meat for the restaurant. The meats we were served did not have a variety of temperatures (rare-well done) and the experience did not at all match the price tag associated with it. Cannot see myself returning to this location. This entire meal totaled over $150 for 2 people getting the “full experience” with no drinks.Took us a little over ten minutes to be seen by a server after being seated in a nearly empty restaurant, and when we had our seats, we needed to move because our table was extremely wobbly, couldn’t even begin to cut our food on it and needed to be moved.
