Reviews Summary
Churrascaria Tertúlia is celebrated for its authentic Brazilian barbecue and extensive salad bar, offering a wide selection of grilled meats that are consistently praised. While many highlight the quality of food and attentive service, some diners have noted issues with speed of service and billing accuracy, especially during peak times. Despite these concerns, the restaurant remains a top choice for meat lovers seeking a traditional rodizio experience.
"The best churrascaria and all you can eat in Santos. My family had a great time. The salad bar was amazing! Great food, drinks and dessert. Service at first was a bit slow at first,
but Ailton saved the day! Ailton was attentive and took great care of us so we ended up having a great time all around. Our favorites was the picanha, cupim, queijo coalho, carneiro e creme de papaya! We will be back for sure! Thank you, Ailto and all staff!"

"Walked-in for lunch and the place was almost full with diners. We didn't have to wait to be seated, this being a Monday. They have a good selection of salad items on the salad bar, with savory pickled items from chillies, onions, artichokes and a whole lot more. They were constantly replenished as well.
On the the stars of the restaurant are the meats- beef, chicken, port, lamb, innards- all well grilled to juicy tenderness and served on skewers hot off the grill. Servers are continuously going around offering a slice of all grilled meats on offer.
Staff are very courteous and quick to serve requests. Will definitely be back when in Santos."
