Great place to take the family with lots of food options. The team is very helpful, friendly and supportive. Great food! Our favorites are the grilled cheese with honey and the beef ribs.

Seems like they squeezed in a lot of tables. When everyone was walking around, it was a maze to get to the salad bar. For all the staff walking around it was hard to get an ice tea refill though. Lol. Other than those 3 little things, the meat was good, salad bar fun and staff was nice!

It’s way overpriced at $75 per person for dinner. The old Agora had more items at the bar and meat quality was same if not better. You can go to Fogo or Texas de Brazil for cheaper and at least same quality food.

I have been to five different Brazilian steakhouses and the independently run Galpao is the best yet. Enjoy!

The gauchos didn’t seem to have a good understanding of how over/undercooked their meat was. Asking for medium rare always got me a slice that was well done. Meats weren’t well seasoned, either, and even the ribeye, picanha and beef ribs REALLY needed the chimichurri and hot sauce to be palatable. The sides were good and the salad bar/tummy stuffer buffet items were fresh and delicious. Service was good. These last two things sadly weren’t amazing enough to bring up my rating of the restaurant in general, as the focal point, the grilled meat, was subpar in comparison to Fogo de Chao or even Greenfield in Long Beach.

My husband and I ate Thanksgiving dinner here. Much better experience than other Brazilian steakhouses I’ve been to like Fogo de Chao and Agora (which was at this location before). Better quality meat plus they offer golden steak, grilled cheese with honey, and grilled pineapple at the table.
