Indianapolis has a new all-you-can-eat Brazilian steakhouse.
Florida-based Terra Gaucha Brazilian Steakhouse opened at Fashion Mall Commons, 8487 Union Chapel Rd., last week.
Fans of Fogo de Chao will be familiar with the concept that has servers roaming the dining room to slice slow-roasted meats onto plates tableside and the availability of an all-you-can-eat hot and cold food bar with cured meats, cheeses, salads, soups and sides.
The Terra Gaucha owners are former Fogo de Chao restaurants, said native Brazilian Paulo Simonetti, one of the four founders.
Simonetti spent 23 years at Fogo de Chao for 23 years, having joined the company in 2001 when it operated only three stores.
His team launched Terra Gaucha Brazilian Steakhouse in 2015 in Jacksonville, Florida. The Indianapolis store is the company’s fourth.
Of the two largest churrascaria chains – Fogo de Chao and Texas de Brazil – only Fogo has a location in Indiana, an Indianapolis restaurant at 117 E. Washington.
Diners will find some items not offered at Fogo de Chao.
Lobster bisque is a soup option along with pork belly feijoada on the food bar.
Unique items include lettuce wedge salads, cake made with corn flour and a banana cream.
Servers there bring around grilled salmon and beef ribs are sliced tableside. Grilled pineapple coated in cinnamon and brown sugar is another offering.
The full all-you-can eat meats experience in Indianapolis is $59.95 per adult for dinner Monday through Friday and $49.95 for brunch on Saturday and Sunday. A chicken and seafood dinner option is available for $41.95 Monday through Friday and $38.95 on weekends.
The all-you-can-eat food bar alone for dinner is $29.95.
The full meats experience for lunch Monday through Friday is $39.95, with the chicken and seafood option at $31.95, and the food bar alone at $19.95.
The Indianapolis restaurant, which seats about 300 people and has private dining rooms for meetings, operates seven days a week.
Terra Gaucha will be open for dine-in service on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

The Denver Broncos secured an important win with a 31-13 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday afternoon. Check out the game highlights below.
Up next for the Broncos is a Thursday Night Football road game against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 16. If Denver beats L.A., the Broncos will clinch a spot in the NFL playoffs with two games remaining.
DENVER (WISH) — It looked like the Colts were going to take a controlling 20-7 lead early in the second half.
Jonathan Taylor had just ripped off a 41 yard touchdown run. However, after a review, that was overturned.
Taylor dropped the ball right before he crossed the goal line when he was running into the end zone. The ball went out of bounds for a touchback and the Broncos got the ball.
“You go over those scenarios, but it just can’t happen no matter the game,” Taylor said. “No matter the scenario. You could be up by 50, down by 50, playoff game, first game of the season. That should never happen.”
The Broncos went on to score 24 unanswered points and won, 31-13.
Taylor took it upon himself to apologize to the team as well.
“I just told them, I apologize and I just know that that will never happen again,” Taylor said. “That never happened to me before and it will never happen again.”
After the review ruled that he dropped the ball before the goal line, numerous Colts players came over to give Taylor a pat on the shoulder. Zaire Franklin and Anthony Richardson came over to talk to Taylor. A few offensive linemen went over to pat Taylor on the shoulder.
“It was a mistake,” Colts head coach Shane Steichen said. “Obviously, it hurt us but he’s one of our leaders and sometimes that happens in football. But, he’s our guy. That’s where it’s at.”
The Colts (6-8) will host the Titans next Sunday, December 22 at 1 p.m. They are two games behind the Chargers for the last wild card spot in the AFC.
