Churrascos - River Oaks Reviews List
Overall Rating 5.0 out of 5 (Outstanding)
"I have dined at Churrascos many times but took a friend who had never been there. Knowing this was the first time dining there for my friend, the manager took it upon himself to provide both a free appetizer and dessert for both of us. As wonderful as they were (and they were both delicious) the main courses were as always spectacular. Cocktail, appetizer, wine, dinner, dessert, port - perfect.
No wonder it is my favorite restaurant in Houston."

Review 10 for Churrascos - River Oaks

Overall Rating 2.0 out of 5 (Fair)
"Not impressed at all! Service was bad, very slow and not informative. Food was just ok... Potatoe puree taste like instant potatoes. Steak was not worth near what it cost! Ambiance was nice, except you sit very close to the table next you. You can hear the other souples converstaions. We visit nice steak houses often but, three glasses of wine, two salads, two steaks and it was $187. I wouldn't recomend it."

"My wife and I have always enjoyed the food and service at Churrascos. This was our first brunch experience there...and loved it. Didn't really enjoy where we were seated (small two top, with people constantly walking by on either side. However, the buffet was fantastic. Almost the entire menu was available, including a breakfast spread. The price made it even sweeter. Must try a mojito or two as well!"

"The food was as expected fantastic. In my opinion what makes dining out a positive or negative experience is the service provided. We felt a little rush, like the waiter was more concerned with turning over the table and making money than making sure we had a good time. Maybe I'm just being picky, but at that nice of a restaurant, I wish the service would have been more friendly. The other aspects of the meal were fantastic though."

"The food was great as well as the service. Our "reserved" table was a booth that was not comfortable for the 3 of us - so they moved us to a round booth. It was very cold (close to the front door) so they moved us to a table away from the door. They did this quickly and without any hesitation. We really appreciated them accommodating us. It was a busy Saturday night - and our 3rd seating choice was great. Service was a little rushed because it was a big party night - start of the holiday season - but all in all it was a wonderful evening and the food was incredible. We would highly recommend this location."

Review 41 for Churrascos - River Oaks

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"The fixed price menu is the best deal in town. We started with a Cuban Black Bean soup, which was served in a sourdough bowl. Delicious. The main course was the 6 oz Churrasco steak, which was more than sufficient and melted in my mouth. It was accompanied by a variety of grilled vegetables. The piece de resistance was the desert, which was their Tres Leches. I'm not a big desert guy, but this cake is to die for. A nice bottle of Malbec completed the meal. Highly recommended.
Incidentally, we reserved a table (Open Table) for 07:00 and arrived promply. After we checked in, it only took two minutes until they led us to our table."

"Good and interesting food. Our experience would have been better if we hadn't been seated in Siberia beside a family with hyperactive and very loud children. I can't blame the restaurant for the 5-year-old's behaviour (the blame rests with the parents) but I don't appreciate as a couple being seated next to them when other tables are available. For that reason I probably won't return."

"The food was excellent, as usual. We frequent this location for most of our special events (anniversaries, birthdays, etc.) and business dinners. The only thing to be aware of, the main dining room and bar are open to each other and it can get pretty loud in there."
