We now have maybe the only independently owned Brazilian Steakhouse in Arizona and it recently opened at P83 in Peoria AZ across from the Peoria Sports Center. This is a big deal because we have very few independently owned restaurants in this area and also very few fine restaurants of any kind in this area. The dining room is formal and is set with tablecloths and wineglasses.
They also offer a full bar and a good sized wine list.
My view of the bar from my seat
They start everyone off with Brazilian Cheese Bread.
Then you make your trip to the Salad Bar.
They offer many vegetable salads, hearts of palm, chicken salad, cheese salad, potato salad, lunch meat, rice, black beans with pork and several other items.
Everything I tried was very fresh….but also mostly very mild tasting.
I took a peek into the kitchen….looks like the meats are cooked here.
Back at the table they bring us tasty caramelized bananas and garlic mashed potatoes.
After our salads we turn our red cards on our table on the other side to green to alert the Gauchos (meat servers) that we are ready.
All kinds of meat on screwers comes our way.
The meats offered to us were-
Chicken Legs
Chicken wrapped in bacon
Rib Eye
Bottom Sirloin
Filet
Filet Wrapped in Bacon
Parmesan Pork
Pork Sausage
Pork Ribs
Lamp Chops
Leg of Lamb
Garlic Beef
and
The Signature Picanha Top Sirloin pictured below
We both thought the Signature Picanha Top Sirloin was by FAR the best of what we tried. It was tender, juicy and delicious!
We didn’t try every meat that was offered but we did find a few that were short of perfect.
This restaurant at the time of this review is newly opened and may still be working things out.
