After paying $25, I was lead to believe that this would pretty much be meat on the hoof. A friend who had been to a similar restaurant described it as ""Relentless meat until yo...

Good value, but... 3/28/2006

The price is good but the food really isn't. Not my favorite place and it doesn't match up to Fogo de Chao at all...but if you are in Burbank and don't like to travel, why not... Pros: Cheap-ish Cons: Not the best meat more

AMAZING!!! 3/18/2006

Every single piece of meat was tender and fabulously flavored! The salad bar was a perfect addition to the vast variety of meats. We went on a Saturday at 5:30pm and it was not crowded, but by 6 it was pretty packed. I loved the meal and will be visiting again very soon!! Pros: Food, Parking - FREE, Atmosphere more

Wow!!!! 3/4/2006

After my experience at Picanha, my first reaction was WOW! The food here is unbelievable and the service is above and beyond one's expectations! If you enjoy incredibly well seasoned meats that'll stimulate your taste buds just the right way, a salad bar that goes beyond all other salad bars and service that compliments your dining experience just right.....than Picanha is the place for you. The atmosphere is comfortable and warm, and from the moment you enter the restaurant it appears as if it's the mission of the staff to make your experience an enjoyable one. There are so many cuts of meats to choose from but I really enjoyed the Picanha and the Brazilian beef which both complimented the fried bananas, black beans and rice perfectly...... I can't wait to go to Picanha again.......I've been telling all my friends about it! Pros: great food, great service, perfect location more

Best of the Best! 3/4/2006

A wonderful dining experience for lovers, family, and friends. I've been to this restaurant several times, and I always come away feeling better about the experience. The staff treat you like a VIP everytime, the owner is almost always on site, providing personalized service. This restaurant is great for large groups, kids, and dates. The food is absolutely terrific, and the salad bar is to die for. Nice to have such a wonderful venue in our City. Love this place! Pros: Parking, Atmoshere, Food Quality more

The Most you can get out of a knife and Fork 2/16/2006

Picanah's restaurant ranks high amongst the most notable eating experiences to be shared and enjoyed in Burbank, as well as the greater Los Angeles area. From the Host Stand to the last bite of your meal awaits one tantilizing treat after another. The food is only matched by the handsome and charming waiters, who treat you like royalty, wetting your taste buds for more of the exotic and tasty morsels they seduce you with over and over...Each night and experience takes on the personality of the eccletic clinetele which dines there changing the ambience from calm and romantic to gregarious and funfilled. It's an all around great time for the family, friends celebrating birthdays, or couples hungry for romance, good food and more. I highly recommend it! blake (West Hollywood, CA) more

Great Food and Exceptional Service!!! 2/15/2006

I recently visited Picanha in Burbank for the first time and it was everything I hoped and was told it would be. The different cuts of meat were so tender and unique. The signature Brazilian beef, Picanha, was maybe one of the best steaks I have ever had and I have been to your Ruth's Chris and Fleming's types of establishments. The ""Caipirinha,"" the Brazilian national cocktail was awesome, I had three. I also thought the gaucho grill in the middle of the dining room added to the ambience. It is definitely somewhere I could take my kids or my husband. Its a ""meat lover's dream"" however the salad bar is so big and full of healthy choices that even my vegetarian friends could enjoy it. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Los Angeles area looking for something new and exciting! Pros: Service , Food, Drinks more

great service and extraordinary food 2/14/2006

We went to this place several times in large groups and in small groups. Each time we went, we were welcomed with smiley faces and very friendly people. It is abslutely the place for meat lovers. the meat is spectacular and the brazilion beaf is incredible and definitely ""all you can eat"" so make sure you go there with an empty stomach. The price is very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food you recieve.The service and the food are excellent and we all highly recommended it. Pros: service, food, atmosphere more

Something for everyone 2/14/2006

Great meat selection, seasoning and preparation. Their salad bar is extensive and ideal for vegeterians or for those who prefer to eat ""light"". I have attended and hosted several birthday celebrations, as well as office Holiday celebrations at this restaurant. Great value for ""all-you-can-eat"" kind of place. The service is friendly and accomodating. Pros: Free parking, Location, Food quality Cons: Noisy when very busy more

Disappointing service 2/6/2006

First visit to this restaurant was for lunch and found food to be good with average service. Second visit was on a Wednesday night with a party of 8. The place was not packed, yet it took the waitress 20 minutes to take our drink order. Throughout the evening the variety of meats flowed continuosly and were good, some saltier than others. Our service was very disappointing, after being ignored by get the waitress numerous times, we finally went to the bar ourselves to get our own drinks. Would not suggest this place for a party larger than 4. Pros: Variety of meats, location Cons: Service more

Amazing price for such delicious meat! 1/17/2006

After reading several ""pricey"" reviews my boyfriend and I went to Picanha expecting to be charged what we have been at other churrascaria restaurants - namely a lot. At the end of our wonderful meal however, we were extremely surprised to find instead that we recived a bill for half of what we had planned on paying. $52 for two all you can eat dinners in L.A. county - not pricey in our standards (and that included really wonderful hot and cold salad bar options and juicy tender cuts of 13 choices of meats)! And you can certainly eat all that you can, we were two of the last diners in the restaurant and the meat never stopped or even paused being offered unless we asked it to be. We were even brought special requests. In general the service was impeccable, we will deffinatly be giong back soon! Pros: Well priced food/wine, Great service, Easy parking more

GREAT FOOD - TERRIBLE SERVICE 12/30/2005

I reserved a table for 10 for our office holiday dinner. We were promptly seated b/c the restaurant was empty, but we waited for about 30 minutes before the waiter offered drinks. The food is great, but don't believe that it's ""all you can eat."" After a few rounds, the manager basically cut our table off. I spoke with the manager and politely asked them to continue serving our table. I am being totally serious - heck, we paid $40 a head for it! Then, the waiter spilled Brazilian Flan sauce all over one of my employee's laps and didn't even apologize. He actually sneered and walked away. A terrible experience all around... recommended for food, but don't expect decent service whatsoever. When all was said and done, my total bill was close to $500. I would much rather have bought a nice grille and prepared the food myself.... Pros: Salad Bar, Brazilian BBQ, Prompt Seating Cons: Terrible Service, Rude Wait Staff, Bad Value more

This kind of life is gettin' expensive... 11/14/2005

I just had lunch at this restaurant -- table for one. Lunch currently is $16.95 for the full ""all-you-can-eat"" option. If you want lamb (I was hoping for it), you will have to go at dinner time, which is more expensive. Meats varied from beef, chicken and pork, as well as two types of sausages. Some tasted overcooked (maybe because they are lean cuts and I'm used to my fatty heart-clogging cuts) but the best by far had to be the Brazilian Beef (make sure to keep your eye out for that). The drink I ordered (Brazilian Beach) was divine. And please do make room for dessert -- their Passion Fruit Mousse is ""to-die-for"". The menu brags that you would ""be begging for more"" -- I would have licked the glass cup it came in if people weren't around to see. Pros: passion fruit mousse, Brazilian Beach, atmosphere Cons: pricey more

Terrible service...a lot of OVER cooked meats! 11/12/2005

The food was average. It's variety you are paying for. The service was TERRIBLE-our waitress never filled our glasses. We gave coupons for the free dessert from Citysearch-she rudely said to only use ONE per table. It clearly says one dessert per person. We ordered 2- cheesecake was worse than a frozen SaraLee -$7. Doggy bags-not allowed. We were given attitude for asking. We gave our extra coupons to other customers. As we left, the waitress stopped us and scolded us for giving them out. I'll NEVER go back to this place. It's pathetic, cheap, the food is not worth the pricr, service people are rude/disgruntled and the management obviously has NO idea how to treat their customers. Don't waste your money here-you will be disappointed in many ways! To the owners of Picanha - Don't put a coupon on a major website, if you can't afford to honor it! Pros: flan Cons: service, overcooked meat, SERVICE more

Fantastic! 8/26/2005

Love this restaurant! The food is great! Wonderful salad bar and buffet! The steaks were incredible. Very well seasoned and not too overpowering. The meat servers (called gauchos) were very pleasant and accomodated my request for specific items. Try the Brazilian beef, it's the house specialty and it is incredible. Our server was very attentive. She helped us select a couple of choice cocktails and a nice bottle of wine. She also checked back sever times throughout or meal to see if we needed anything. The atmosphere is great for informal dinners, large groups(like ours!), or a nice laid back night out! We were in on a Saturday, it was busy. We had to wait a while for a table. A reservation would have been helpful. Pros: great service, MEAT!, variety of sides Cons: busy, can get noisy more

Great food, low ambience 1/17/2005

Picanha is terrific if you really are hungry. Meats are juicy and flavorful and the salad bar is enormous, varied and inventive (try the olive and raisin salad - delicious). If you're out with a group and you're not looking for romance - the ambiance is great - otherwise look for something with lower lighting! Print out the Citysearch coupon for a terrific deal - free coffee and dessert - for all of you! Passionfruit mousse is a stand out and don't miss the caparinhas (like a Brazilian mojito). Pros: Good value, Tasty food, Good service Cons: , Uncozy space, Burbank! more

Our First Churrascaria Visit in the USA 11/16/2004

Tonight my wife and I dined with friends at Picanha Churrascaria in Burbank while on our visit to the USA from Brazil. We are leaving Los Angeles to go back home to Brazil tomorrow and we are very glad that we were referred to this restaurant. The waiters and other staff were very attentive and the selection of meats was high quality and seasoned to perfection. The salad bar and hot foods bar offered a nice variety of items that were quite tasty. The wonderful grilled meats kept coming until we stopped to save room for dessert. We both had the chocolate cake which was sublime. We would recommend this restaurant without hesitation and will return on our next visit to California. Pros: Excellent meats, Very good salad bar , Tasty dessert more

Great Authentic Brasilian Churrascaria 11/16/2004

I split my time between Los Angeles and Rio de Janeiro. I just recently found Picanha and although there are other restaurants that offer a glitzier space, I know what a real Brasilian Churrascaria is like and Picanha fits the bill. The meats, which include filet mignon, picanha beef, lamb, great chicken breast in turkey bacon, top sirloin, sausage, pork loin among many others are superb! The salad bar and hot items buffet are plentiful and delicious. The drinks and desserts are A-OK. Enjoy! Pros: Excellent Meat, Great Salad/Hot Buffe, Nice Area/Park Easily more
