    I wouldn’t recommend this place at all. There are many other Brazilian steakhouses that are far superior for the same price. The waiters did not come around often enough and some of the meat (not all) were not fresh. Also the bar where they offer salads and such was very skimpy not nearly as many options as the other places. I would say skip this place and choose somewhere else.

    Took a very long time to get seated even tho I had a reservation. Very noisy place, not at all a romantic scene. The ambiance was not what I expected. Food did not come around often enough for my liking. Also, my reservation was at 9:30pm don’t come that late if you want fresh sides. I didn’t see them change out any or add any new food to the hot bar and salad bar

    Picanha is the number one Brazilian style steakhouse now. Chima’s which ruled the throne for quite sometime in our eyes is no longer in center city. The chain that took over the location at 20th and JFK (NaBrasa) has a nicer salad bar but that’s not what I crossed the bridge for. I crossed for the tasty unlimited cuts of beef. Fogo de chao and Picanhas used to be tied for second. No more. Fogo de chao has dropped a few pegs but Picanh STILL has meats so tasty that you will keep your card turned up green all evening. Nice spot with an atmosphere that’s just right!
    Picanha Brazilian Steakhouse - Center CityResponded on 23 September 2024
    Thank you for your fantastic review! We're honored to be recognized as the number one Brazilian steakhouse. It's wonderful to hear that our unlimited cuts of beef have captured your heart.
