"Surprisingly, they give you a LOT of meat! I am shocked. I was going to give 4 stars bc it's not cooked like I asked (but overdone) BUT they get 5 stars for the portions. Great flavors! Steak well seasoned, mashed were delicious, I absolutely love the bread and it was super fresh... the lemonade tastes like it has a hint of pineapple in it... I'd def order again. "
"Choose One Meat (6oz.) & Two Sides Received a large portion of well-done picanha for a good value! Liked the garlic mashed potatoes and the Caesar salad. Definitely liked the chimmichuri spread to put on the picanha! Tasted wonderful and the food was fresh! Will definitely order this platter again! Lemonade The lemonade was ok. I thought I would receive was regular lemonade, but I think it had some dairy in it since it was more white than yellow. I tend to like a simple lemonade but it didn't taste that bad."

"Sou cliente frequente da loja e praticamente todos os finais de semana compramos com vocês. Gosto muito dos produtos e da qualidade, por isso gostaria de deixar uma sugestão como cliente. Uma coisa que eu adoraria ver no aplicativo seria a opção de escolher o sabor do sorvete. Na loja vocês têm várias opções de sabores, mas no aplicativo precisamos escolher entre os sorvetes que já vêm prontos. Seria muito legal poder escolher o sabor que queremos diretamente pelo aplicativo. Outra sugestão seria ter a opção de escolher os sabores das caldas. Na loja existem várias opções, mas no aplicativo não conseguimos escolher qual calda queremos. Sei que talvez seja um pouco mais trabalhoso disponibilizar todas essas opções, mas acredito que muitos clientes que fazem pedidos pelo aplicativo iriam gostar bastante. Eu, particularmente, prefiro comprar pelo aplicativo porque é muito mais rápido e prático, não preciso sair de casa e nem ficar procurando estacionamento. Por isso, ter essas opções disponíveis no aplicativo deixaria minha experiência ainda melhor. Espero que vocês considerem essas sugestões! Como uma cliente que compra com frequência, eu adoraria ter essas opções. ❤️"
"The acai was okay had a good amount of fruit and they weren't stingy wit the Nutella. The French fries were cold and really small amount for the price. We just didn't receive the tentacao. The hot dog was really bad. It was two really cheap dogs on a long bun and once again not worth the price. The churos tasted reheated. The lime drink was delicious."
