Reviews for Cleo's Brazilian Steakhouse in San Bruno, CA
Despite being the only Brazilian steakhouse (at least as far as I'm aware) this business seems to not draw in very big crowds... the times I've gone there (and that's during weekends at popular evening times). That is probably because of their semi lackluster salad bar, occasionally tough meats, and really awful customer service. I'm not necessarily talking about the guys thatbring out the meats, but the waiters/waitresses. Seriously, be prepared to wait 20 minutes before they give you your check andfinish paying. I find this somewhat inconsiderate (because it's not like the place is busy to pull your attention away).Sometimes it seems that these people are paid to just stand and talk to one another (the bartender sure looks like it).

Lots of good food. Big variety of hot & cold dishes, salads & desserts. The servers were very attentive. The knife was not sharp... enough to cut through some of the meat that has tendons. The warm pineapple with sprinkled cinnamon was so sweet. Read more
staff was super friendly and attentive. quality of meats was really good along with the salad bar. only thing was pace of meat... coming out of kitchen was alittle off for the amount of customers in restaurant, was definitely worth the wait. also, priceswere different from the website (a bit more than posted on website), but not "too" bad, was still worth it.

Been here twice for lunch & can't understand why this place isn't packed! The food is delicious. Yes, meat in its many splendors... (stunning NY steak, delicious Brazilian sausage bursting with flavor, pork ribs, etc., all roasted to perfection & served by theslice) is the focus, but I was blown away by the stunning array of side dishes. Yummy vegetables & salads, baked fish, kalesalad, and on & on. Great desserts, too.The staff are very helpful & attentive. The gentleman who serves the meats brought usfresh bananas & pineapple grilled to perfection & dusted with cinnamon. Outstanding! Read more
Meats were sightly on the tough and over seasoned side. But then again at about $40/seat it's priced a lot less than some other... all you can eat Brazilian steakhouses. Read more
