I don't know what some of these people are talking about but I've been there twice and it was fantastic both times. The service was friendly and fast. The buffet selection was great and I think they had 15+ different meats constantly coming to your table so it's hot and fresh. The selection on Saturday seems to be the best. I've been to Brazilian restaurants all over the country and for the price and quality this was one of the best.
I full-on agree with the previous post....I should've checked these reviews out before I went there with my family. The meal was overpriced and the service was meh. I think the worst part was the quality of the food. Everything, with the exception of salad bar items was overly spiced and way too salty. Best meat they presented to us was the top sirloin or the house special Brazil beef, but I would avoid the place if at all possible.
Avoid Picanha Churrascaria - Burbank
Lots of overpriced and over-seasoned subpar meat. The poor service was the kicker. The waiters definitely favor the larger parties and frequently get simple drink orders wrong. Garlic beef and the tri-tip were the best of the lot but still were not of the quality that the 30 dollar per person price would merit. Not even the lunch price of 20 dollars would be acceptable.. Outback Steakhouse puts their meats to shame. I'd much rather pay 30 bucks on a meal with a nice cut of meat rather than an all you can eat buffet with bland and overs-seasoned gristle ridden meat.
