Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The salad bar had a great selection of sides and fries brought to the table which were also fantastic.

As a long-time customer of Botafogo, I have had the pleasure of visiting this establishment numerous times over the last few years. In the past, it was my go-to place for an authentic Brazilian churrascaria experience, and I had many memorable dining moments. However, my...recent visits, spanning the last three to four times, have left me thoroughly disappointed. It pains me to admit that Botafogo has experienced a regrettable decline in quality. What was once a reliable and outstanding dining destination has become frustrating. On my most recent visits, the service could have been much faster, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the meal. This starkly contrasted to the efficient and attentive service I had grown accustomed to. Additionally, on my latest visits, I encountered difficulties with communication, particularly when ordering drinks. The language barrier made it challenging to convey my preferences accurately, leading to mistakes in my order and further adding to my dissatisfaction. Moreover, the hallmark of any great churrascaria lies in the quality of its meats. While I fondly remember the delectable cuts I indulged in, the recent meats have all been rushed and overcooked. As someone who prefers their meat medium-rare, it was disheartening to find that every piece I tried was overdone, robbing it of its natural flavours and tenderness. The declining trend in my experiences at Botafogo is profoundly disheartening. Based on my previous positive encounters, I had always spoken highly of this restaurant, recommending it to friends and family. However, the recent letdowns have made it increasingly difficult to uphold that praise. Despite my history with Botafogo, I must recognise the consistent disappointments I have faced during my last few visits. I sincerely hope that the management takes notice of these shortcomings and works towards restoring the former glory of this once beloved churrascaria. In conclusion, while I have been a loyal patron of Botafogo for years, my most recent experiences have been dishearteningly disappointing. The decline in service efficiency, communication barriers, and subpar meat preparation have tarnished what was once a standout dining destination. Until significant improvements are made, I find it hard to recommend Botafogo to others.More

I have always been a fan of grilled meat and when I figured out this restaurant, it is one of my favourite places in Huddersfield. The menu includes a variety of meat to choose from such as Picanha, Beef Shoulder, Sirloin, Garlic Beef, Chili Beef,...Chicken Thighs, Honey Glazed Pork, Gammon, Grilled, Grilled Pineapple, Pork Sausages and Lamb. I love all the dishes here, but Chilli & Garlic Beef, Chicken Thighs, Honey Glazed Pork, and Grilled Pineapple are in my Top 5. These meats are amazing as they are marinated with spices, grilled in standardised heat, and served professionally at the table. Besides the meat, they also offer Non-Meat Options that will be cooked specially within requests. Not only delicious main course, but there are also varied drinks and yummy desserts to choose from. One thing I love about this restaurant is that the chef and the staff are super friendly, professional, and warm-welcome to all customers! Just love it!More

Had high expectations from our visit today. I had been to a similar elsewhere and enjoyed immensely, but was sadly let down. Service of meats extremely slow, often 10 -15 minutes wait between meagre meat portions being carved to plate,sliver of beef or a peice...of chicken. Bill with one round of drinks, including wine and a portion of chips just short of £155 for 4. Service charge charged to bill, which I find wrong, no way where we serviced to £15 as per bill. It's just not worth the cost. Will not return.More

IMO worst Brazilian bbq I have been to. Some of the meats were RAW and I mean RAW koz I’m a rare meat kind of gal but the middle was cold. It was bland, lacked seasoning and even the selection of sides was a bit...saddening. It was a big disappointment from what we were expecting. The only upside was the service. Personally I wouldn’t return unless there was a significant improvement.More

Cocktail menu was simply awesome and the food I couldn’t get enough of. Great cuts of meat with a great...variety - tasting delicious and cooked to perfection. We’re not long waits / intervals to be served and I thoroughly enjoyed the grilled pineapple I have never tried before - one of the chefs so kindly bought more out upon my request. Total value for money and will be making sure I visit again. If your a meat lover you will love this place, great service great food and not one bit did we feel rushed to get out.

What a really great meal. We arrived at 16.10 and food was already on the go to be served. After about 10 mins the meat started to come out. It was amazing, so delicious and worth every penny. Definitely come back again when in area.

Very disappointed. We were served raw gammon. The staff did not have a clue what they were doing . The service was very slow.we had been there 30 minutes and one of our party who did not want thier meat served medium rare had had...no meat. The managers excuse was that the server was training. We paid for our drinks and left. They didn't even give us our drinks as a sorry. We won't be rushing back. We font fancy getting food poisoning.More
