My husband and I went on a rare date night last Saturday night. We went to Santa Lucia Brazilian Steakhouse. Oh we were in for such a treat. If you're not familiar with Rodizio, it is an unlimited meat fest. There are Gauchos roaming around with big swords of meat and pineapples which they slice off for you and you grab with tongs. You have cards which you flip over to indicate to keep the meat coming, or you've had enough.
My husband and I were familiar with Rodizio style, having eaten at a Brazilian steakhouse in Salt Lake City when we lived there over ten years ago. However, it had been over ten years since we'd eaten at a Brazilian Steakhouse. It was absolutely delectable. You start with a salad bar which has salad, but also other sides of rice and beans, veggies, cabbage and bacon. They also give you unlimited appetizers of mashed potatoes, cheese bread (my favorite), carmalized bananas, and fried Polenta. Once you're ready for the Gauchos to give you some meat, you flip your card over and they come every 3 to 5 minutes with a new offering. You can request your meat to be cooked as much as you want and they will bring it to you. We tried everything that was offered that night, dinner has a wider variety than lunch, with about 13 different offerings. Our favorites were the flank steak cooked medium-rare.
Here is a video that shows the experience.

Overall, it was a great date night spot. There were families there as well, so still kid-friendly while catering to date nights as well. Children 6 and under are free and children from 7 and up are much cheaper than the adult price.
Prices start at $18.99 for only the Market Table to $37.99 for dinner and about half of that for lunch Monday through Friday.
Santa Lucia is located at 3185 Woodward Crossing Blvd Buford GA 30519
