Message from Samba Steakhouse at The Mirage
Enjoy this popular Brazilian-style barbecue offering unlimited portions of marinated meats, poultry and seafood, as well as unique a la carte items. Samba's speciality is "The All You Can Eat Rodizio Experience"--the ultimate all-you-can-eat barbecue. Rodizio is a uniquely Brazilian style of barbecue offering a wide variety of flavors. Each course is skewered and slowly roasted over coals in a special Brazilian rotisserie. These items are served in random order along with traditional side dishes of black beans and rice, sweet fried plaintains, creamed spinach, farofa carrots, and a bottomless bowl of "Samba Salad" tossed tableside.

Insider Pages Reviews for Samba Steakhouse at The Mirage
This is my all-time favorite Vegas restaurant. This place serves Brazilian food- the servers come by your table with meat on skewers, fresh rice, plantains, carrots, etc. It's a ton of food, but so worth it. The prices are a bit high, but you're in a beautiful room, eating perfect food, with the friendliest waiters imaginable. Definitely go here!

We went to Kokomo's with some out of town family. The service was excellent, but overall the food was over-priced. Not surprising for the Strip, but better deals can be found elsewhere. I highly recommend the lobster bisque. It was a meal in itself for me.

Fun place to dine with friends
by newstome
Great, very fresh food expertly prepared. Ate there in October '07 and can't wait to go back! Don't be fooled by the fact that it's in the Mirage -- this is one of Vegas' best dining experiences.
Pros: Undiscovered treasure of Vegas
Cons: None

Good, not great
by hhunter
I have to admit, I was a little bummed that the restaurant was open to the casino. I was expecting something much moodier out of a steakhouse, and Samba came off more like a Tex-Mex joint. The meats were good, but not as good as my previous Brazilian steak house experience at Fogo de Chao.
Pros: Lots of meat
Cons: Ambience

Good Food
by southpalm
The $34.95 "Rodizio Experience" was worth the money if you are a meat eater. The food was good and plentyful, the service was wonderful (the restaurant wasn't very busy so I can't say the service would have been just as good if it were). The only problem was that the restaurant opens out to the casino. The inside music was in constant battle with the noise coming from the casino. The would be great for a "boys" night out however for a quiet date, forget it !
Pros: food & service
Cons: too much noise

service is BAD
by annwangny
I have never experienced the ineptitude and rudeness at every level of service as I did at Samba...had reservations, but was not seated for 15 minutes. Party of 3 was seated at a table for 2. Drinks were not refilled once. Side dishes were cold before food came. Glass broken by waiter not cleaned up. Manager incredibly rude and too busy flirting/socializing with waiters/busboys to work.
Cons: service, service, service

Excellent Food, All you can eat Rodizio
by icee429
Everytime I go to vegas, I visit Samba. For $30 (only $5 more than the average buffet in Vegas now) you can get all you can eat Brazillian style BBQ. The way it works is the waiters bring out 9 different meats on skewers for you to try. After you have tried it, you can ask for the ones you like. They also give you side dishes, which is very good (I have a hard time staying away from the rice and beans). The best thing about it is that the food comes out of the BBQ and doesn't sit there all night long. I highly recommend the bacon wrapped turkey, flank steak, pinnapple pork, and their garlic sauce.
Pros: Fresh Food, Ambiance, Sauces
Cons: Pricey

SUSHI
by ronibidz
WOW! If you're a sushi fan... make sure to stop here. We've been to most sushi bars on the strip and off... these guys know how to do it right. Atmosphere and service made it great too.
Pros: atmosphere, sushi, service
