So, if you do not properly pace yourselves, you can be out the door in well under an hour.
Interesting point. I made my last trip to a churrascaria about 3 weeks ago. We dove in right away, but I tend to take a breather about half to 2/3 of the way through and we talk a lot. We were there about 2 hours. When we go in Brazil it is common for us to be there longer.
we went to one restaurant - someone wanted me to go to it a couple yrs ago....and they speared and rottisserried all there meats - all you can eat....
they cut the meat off a rottisserrie spear at tableside
they had course after course - but as someone said it takes a while,,,i noticed they do their best to fill you up with fixins before the meat comes out- so I saved my appetitite for the meat- I had the works- lamb, then beef I was in heaven!!!!
the beef was sirloin from top butt, one waiter said it was filet mignon, and one said it was rib eye- wasn't either one- but I enjoyed it and someone else was paying!!!
I cant remember if this was a Brazilian place or not- there's a descriptive word for this type of cooking/serving and I cant remember it

That's a churrascaria. It's for "barbecue". The ones I've gone to are exactly like that. Sometimes they take their time coming around with the meats, especially the really good meats. Chicken and sausage is plentiful but when you're waiting for the beef or lamb, the servers are no where to be found sometimes lol...we've gone to a few places and like you said, they want you to fill up on the fixins. I remember years ago paying less than $30 a person and that was without drinks. That's a bargain considering we spend just about that much sometimes on one dish!
Rodizio Grill is much less expensive than the other and the menu is decent, but much less varied than the others.
I have been to Tucano's a couple times and it was satisfactory but not great.
Texas de Brazil and Forgo de Chao were both very good but also quite expensive. The quality of the food is far better than the other ones.
Yolie's in Las Vegas was a major disappointment. The food was pretty good BUT there were few sides, all served to you. Service was mediocre, especially I you do not order alcohol.

Texas de Brazil is our personal fav of those in San Antonio. Not so much the downtown location, but find it as a very special place to take someone for a slow, deliberately enjoy the meal kind of evening, vs the "hurry up the next people are here" service.
Seriously? I've never seen a "Brazilian" food joint much less a Brazilian steakhouse in my lifetime. How would anyone know the answer unless they've visited them all?
Brazilian BBQ is awesome, unlike American BBQ which uses too many sauces, marinades, and additives. Brazilian style is more closer to how people would cook meat over fire. Lightly seasoned and charred.
If you love eating flesh like a zombie then you will love it because they serve all parts of meat not just steaks.
