review :: This is the first time I've ever had a Churascaria experience. And what I've heard is true, if your card is flipped to green, they will just swarm you with meat after meat after meat.

You first start off with the salad bar. It wasn't a typical salad bar, with different salads of your choosing. There was potato salad, hearts of palm, artichoke, cucumber salad, a selection of cheeses and many more that I can't quite remember. After making my selections and heading back to the table, the card was flipped to green. I can't exactly remember all the meats I had, but I remembered there was a lot. They had varying cuts of meat, such has Filet Mignon, lamb shanks, baby beef, the house specialty, as well as sauteed shrimp. Overall, most of the meat was good, some were a bit salty and some over cooked, I like my meat well done. By the end of the meal, I was pretty stuffed. But I did save room for dessert, a cup of creme brulee. Even though I've had better elsewhere, the creaminess of the dessert and the sweetness of the sugary crust helped even out my taste buds from all the meat.

I do recommend the lemonade, free refills too. It is a blend of a whole lime, some water, sugar and condensed milk, which gives it a frothy top.

If you're looking to load yourself with meat, but don't want to spend a fortune, check out Tradicao. The waitstaff was always courteous and ready to please your needs.

review :: The sole owner of Barnaby's has converted the old Johnny Rocket's located in the Sugar Land Town Square into a delightful little diner. While there I ordered the California Chicken Sandwich (grilled chicken, avocado, cheese and wheat bun) with an order of fries. One thing I liked off the bat was the Sonic ice they use to fill their drinks! The ambiance is fun, equipped with pop music in a diner atmosphere. All ages where present as well as a spinning display of shakes, cakes and pies. My sandwich was more than a mouthful especially the fries. The fries portions can be split by two, maybe three people. Other menu items included cold sandwiches, shakes, as well as Buffalo, turkey and boca burgers for the health conscious. Sweet potato fries, grilled cheese and vanilla wedding cake look like something I'd go back for. They have patio service right along the sidewalk for people watchers and they serve breakfast too!The waitstaff was super nice and we received our food in a reasonable amount of time considering this place just opened recently.
