Anthonie’s is a unique indoor/outdoor concept boasting ancient-wood planked walls, polished concrete floors, a state-of-the-art open kitchen, and a massive patio with superb sunset views. The
warm ambiance and neighborly reception are just a prelude to the restaurant’s generous, lip-smacking
meals.

Excellent fresh Red Snapper. Large, tender chicken fried steak. Good wine selection. Attentive , friendly servers. Good coffee. Not impressed with the bread pudding….just a thick solid square of bread ( cake) with bananas foster sauce. I’ll try the Key Lime pie, next time. Also…interesting location…in a field…but it works! Dress code is more casual, than dressy. Will definitely be back.

It was our first time visiting, and it was amazing. We went to celebrate a birthday, and the staff made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in the door. The ambiance was warm and inviting. The food was amazing from the appetizer to the complimentary dessert for the birthday person. It was an wonderful experience that we will definitely do again, and have already started recommending it to friends and colleagues to go and enjoy a meal.

About the restaurant

We’re serving up tasty farm-to-kitchen dishes & cocktails out of our ‘from scratch only’ kitchen and bar. Microwave? Never heard of it. We use slow-cooking methods on our live wood grill, smoker and spit because everything tastes better that way. And all this goodness is served to you as you kick your feet up in one of our rocking chairs, dine at a fancy table or relax out on the porch.

Gauchos Do Sul - Katy

Brazilian Steakhouse

Katy

About the restaurant

The plains of Southern Brazil are filled with grazing cattle enjoying the vast pastures. These cattle are the source for the famous and centuries old Brazilian “Churrasco” barbecues. It was at these gatherings where Brazilian cowboys or “gauchos” would prepare large pieces of meat and slowly cook them over open flame pits. Our traditional gaucho chefs still follow these traditions to preserve the flavors of each cut of meat. We feature unlimited tableside service of different cuts of beef, pork, lamb, and chicken. We also feature a gourmet salad bar, and various traditional side dishes to complement the meats. You can control your service with a small green and red-sided card. The green side tells the gaucho chefs to bring out skewers of sizzling meats to the table while the red signals a stopping point. To re-start service, simply display the green side again.
