Rodizio all the way! Every meat they brought out was flavorful, tender and juicy. My favorite was the sausage and the bacon wrapped turkey. The sides were equally as delicious; the rice and plantains was amazing but the beans and greens were. I had two glasses of the house red which was really good consider it was a house brand. Also $8 a glass it really reasonable. We were a party of 8 and every one is us enjoyed the dinner. Lastly the staff was friendly and very on top of everything making sure we always had a full drink and more meat. Love this place!

It was a very stressful week with some real serious issues to deal with but by Friday things were looking slightly better or as best they could for now. So it's probably a good night for dinner out.
This restaurant was previously a "Sizzler" restaurant many years ago. I've seen the transformation and have wanted to eat here for some time. Well tonight I'm doing it.
Parking is still the same, a little tight, but it is what it is. Train station is located behind the restaurant parking lot so overflow can park there.
Immediately upon walking in I can tell this is going to be a good experience. We are immediately greeted and offered a choice of tables. Not that there's a lot of choices because this place is jumping.
Once we get our table our water is being poured before we even settle. As he leaves, a family style salad shows up with a separate tray of olives. We order a bottle of sparkling water, which is delivered immediately. I'm liking this place a lot.
Our waiter explains the menu. They have an "all you can eat" option where they just keep bringing you meat. Nice option but not my style. I settled for the beef and pork Shiskabob. Comes with family style sides.
So I'm expecting a wood or metal rod with skewered pieces of meat and peppers and onion. No way. They bring a large plate with fist size chunks of meat with peppers and onions. I can only eat two pieces of the meat and pack up the rest to take home.
Coffee.. I had there Portuguese Coffee. Brandy, fire water, espresso, and whipped cream. Never had this before but it was amazing.
Do you think I'll be back? You don't have to ask twice. You guys should come too, in fact they had a section for a group of 30 people. We can put together a group at least that large, or maybe just one or two.
Don't forget to order the Portuguese Coffee, you will not be
We were here four months ago and I couldn't say enough good things about Luso's. Every aspect was perfect.
So what happened. We decided to go this past Sunday for dinner with some friends.
After being seated, everyone disappeared. Eventually water and bread came then about ten minutes later our waiter shows up. After hearing the specials my wife goes for the skirt steak and I go for the Shell steak special. The other couple ordered chicken and pork chops.
Now the sides are family style. No choices. Rice, potato chips, vegetables, broccoli and sliced carrots, and French fries. Odd selection, but I'm remembering my last meal here. Of yes, they forgot the potato chips.
Everyone's meal comes out except mine. Everyone is eating except me. Finally I get the attention of a bus boy and ask. He goes to a waitress at another table who is talking to some people and can't seem to be bothered.
Now the manager comes over to check. Seemed like he knew something was wrong. After I explain my steak finally comes out. Oh yes, I ordered the temp "medium".
Steak is very large which is typical here, but cooked rare, in fact raw to rare. So they take it back. 10 minutes later my steak returns but half the steak is gone. That's right, and still rare.
Please bring the bill so I can go home and have dinner.
I will say that they removed the cost of my meal from the bill. Foolishly I thought they might comp desert but not to be.
I'm so disappointed because I really liked this restaurant on our first trip there. This visit made me gave to rethink if I'll return. As of right now, I don't think so. Sorry -

Food is great, but the wait is horrible. I think the host has not a clue on how to calculate time and sit people. They do big parties 1st. Otherwise I would have given 5 stars.
