Gol Brazilian Restaurant

I did a drive by last week to check in person, and the Gol is clearly closed (with a notice from the gas company on the door). Bummer.

Is this place really closed? Yesterday Unilocal had it marked permanently closed, but today, it says they’re open. I don’t live nearby or I would go verify, so if anybody happens to be in the area and can stop by to check it out that would be really helpful. I’m fairly certain they are closed since their phone is disconnected and their website no longer exists, but until I hear for sure, I’m still holding out hope.
Now it’s marked closed again on Unilocal.I guess I’ll have to abandon all hope. So long GOL. I’ll miss you.

Nothing bad to say about Gol! Hidden gem in the Inland empire! In love with their mandarin spinach salad and «chicken salad cake thing’. They may not have as many meat selections as a normal Brazilian bbq place, but for the price, which cares! They are all winners! Highly recommended

I’ve been to a couple Brazilian BBQ places and Gol isn’t one of my favorites. $ 22 is about the average price for all you can eat but I didn’t really enjoy the meat that much. I normally stuff myself till the point I can only speak one syllable words but at Gol, after 2 plates I was done. It just didn’t wow me. If it was cheaper, around $ 18 I think it’d be a much better deal and it would put it into contention for a place in our lunch rotation.

We’ve been to this private owned business several times and we really enjoy the buffet style food options. It’s always the same but there are several dishes we like. Top sirloin seems to be the most popular and I agree it’s the best of their meat selection. The other meats are okay but I find that they’re either not seasoned well or on the dryer side… even in the stew. Of all the side dishes, my family’s favorites are the kale, black beans in broth, cheese balls and chimichurri sauce.
But one thing that really bothered me this summer was how HOT it was inside! Everyone in my party was always uncomfortable. Hopefully they’ll start making it a more comfortable environment.

My second time coming here and gotta say I love this place! It’s never really busy so I hope they stick around for a while. I’ve eating Brazilian Bbq all over and Pichana is my favorite cut of meat. They have the absolute best Pichana! They’re not as big as your typical Brazilian Bbq place and don’t have hundreds of meats but what they do have is cooked perfect and flavorful! Can’t wait to go back!

Great food. One of my favorite lunch time locations and is a must once a week! The best time to go is early lunch hours to get the freshest food.

First time I came here I was blown away by two things. The friendly waiter that was accommodating to my needs as I am Deaf and use ASL, there was no issue communicating with her.
Secondly the food– wow what a welcome change to the banality of food scene in Riverside (I’m from Farm to Fork capital of the USA, which is of course Sacramento… So I have my bias thank you)
I love to see diversity and quality over quantity.
This one will be my favorites.

Different the the Brazilian BBQ I’m used to as the meats are self serve at a station at the salad bar. But it’s not a big place so it’s not a big deal to walk back and forth. The entire salad bar, pastas were delicious, and the meats were great. All the quality of my favorite bigger fancier Charescarias in a smaller less formal format. Loved it.

Great food and a great environment. The meat was awesome and the Chocolate Pastel Doce was very good. $ 22 for all you can eat is a little spendy buy if you can eat enough it’s worth it.

If you have an urge for delicious meat grilled to perfection, I would suggest you try Gol Brazilian Restaurant in Riverside, CA. The meat is perfectly grilled, and beautifully seasoned with spices that compliment the flavor of the beef, pork and chicken choices. Your server can even offer you cuts of beef cooked to order — rare, med, or well done. Just let them know your preference. As much as I enjoy the meats here (the top sirloin, chicken, and sausage are my favorites) you will also be amazed at the side dishes. The cold salads are wonderful! The Tomatoes, Onions and Parsley Salad; and Green Beans and Carrots Salad are my top picks followed closely by the Beets in Vinegar and Olive Oil, and the Brazilian Potato Salad. I’ve also tried some of the hot sides and have enjoyed the Mashed Potatoes, the Cheese Rolls, and the Black Bean Stew with Meat.
The service is great. Workers are proud of the food and the culture in which the dishes were developed and their enthusiasm is contagious! The restaurant décor is spartan (not a lot of frills) and spotlessly clean. Given the quality of the food, and the reasonable prices Gol Brazilian Restaurant is one of the best values in town. Not to be missed! Give it a try. You won’t be sorry.

Great Brazilian BBQ place if you’re this far east and craving something similar to M grill or Fogo de Chao but are this far east.
I was a huge fan of the tritip, but honestly all of the meats were great. On top of that they have the cheese balls, salads, and sides that come with other brazilian bbq places. definitely a great place to stop by and grab a bite if you’re around :).
The price is just right too!

Really really sad to be writing this… I really was looking forward to upgrading them to 5 stars when I came back to visit, but unfortunately this experience completely changed my mind about this place. There was not one, not two, but three flies (one huge fly the size of my thumbnail…) flying all around my food and just all around me the ENTIRE meal. I was only able to capture two flies in one picture, but you get what I’m saying.
I’m so sad because I really loved the food here, but I wasn’t able to enjoy it at all because of the stupid flies that wouldn’t leave me alone. I guess it’s a wake up call for me to take some more showers… lol jk but they seriously wouldn’t leave me alone and I was getting so frustrated. One of them also successfully landed in my meal when I was busy shooing the other ones away. It didn’t seem like anyone working here wanted to help me with my issue either, I mean two girls are flapping their hands all around looking angry and nothing stood out to them? This occurred for the entire duration of my meal too. I guess I was able to enjoy my meal momentarily (ok more like 5 seconds max) before a fly (or a couple of em) would interrupt my meal.

Great place. You have an option for AYCE or by weight. (More than 2 serving, go with AYCE). Beef (Sirloin and Tri tip) & Sausage items are great. Chicken and Pork BBQ items are mediocre. You can ask the cook for their special yellow garlic sauce for the meet (very unique and tangy flavor). You can also ask the waitress for their special hot sauce.
Also, best price for Brazilian BBQ.

My girlfriend and I stopped here last night because of the raving reviews on Unilocal.We walked in to an empty restaurant, on a Thursday night. The room was very hot, must have been over 90 degrees inside (which explained why nobody was there). I understand that it is an inside BBQ place, but you have to have air conditioning, especially if it’s a hot summer day. I’m not sure if their air conditioning broke or what, but all they had was a very small fan in the corner that was doing nothing.
We tried to brave the heat, but just couldn’t. It was actually cooler outside. We decided to drive down the street to try San Juan BBQ (you can read my review on their page).
We definitely want to try this place again in the future. Hopefully next time, they will have the A/​C on.

SUPER PLEASED.
As soon as I walked in I was greeted with amazing service and an explanation of how it works. It’s buffet styled unlike other brazilian bbqs. (There’s no red/​green chip and they don’t serve you to your table.) BUT it’s pretty damn worth it. Gotta walk off the fat anyways LOL It’s like $ 20 bucks for ayce or $ 8.50 per pound.
They have a decent selection of sides like mashed potatoes, tuna, etc. and they’re picante is SO GOOD! They keep all their meats hot and roasting so you always get super hot ad fresh meat. I was super satisfied after my meal… I got so many plates LOL
It’s really worth it in price if your comparing it to other more well known brazilian bbq places. The meat isn’t bad at all and it’s finally something bomb to eat in riverside county!

We went for lunch and had a GOOD experience.
$ 8.50 per pound (even if u don’t eat 1lb they will charge $ 8.50)
We went with the idea of getting all u can eat for my husband and I and $ 8.50 for our 6 yr old daughter but at the end we all eat per «pound» it was a better deal and we had a little of everything.
There were 2 girls (servers) and one «cook» the male by the «grill» serving the meat. All three of them were VERY nice and happy to be there.
We had top sirloin and tri tip and they were very well seasoned and cooked to our preference.
Definitely will be coming back!

While looking at houses for sale in Corona/​Riverside, we decided to try Brazilian, and we were glad we did. You can smell the aroma of fine grilled meat pulling up Gol. Upon entering the Brazilian colored restaurant you can see the many meats Barbecuing on the grill. We were greeted with smiles and patience as we had brought our two kids. We purchased the single plate each, and were treated to plenty of food, but for all you Brazilian Beef Destroyers, they have all you can eat! My favorites, the garlic beef, top sirloin, and the cheese balls… GOOD LORD THOSE ARE AMAZING. The food really was perfect and we even got to know one of the owners while dining there. After we finished our meal, we were treated to free ice cream for the kids. We loved our visit to GOL and would highly recommend trying some great Brazilian food.

First of all, I have come here at least 10 times with my family so it’s obvious we like this place.
For food you have two options:
1) All you can eat, $ 20
2) Grab a plate, fill it with whatever you want, weigh it, pay at the end
We always go for option 2 because we don’t over stuff ourselves but we get exactly what we want.
The first part of the buffet line includes salads. go for their kale and spinach salads with passionfruit and mango dressings. SO good! They also have really good fresh beets and delicious potato salad.
The second part of the buffet has hot foods. I really like their black beans (skip the meat here for the REAL meet from the grill), their cheese bread!!, and sweet plantains.
Finally, the third part is the grill with all the meats! Their chicken is super good– tender and flavorful and their top sirloin is delicious. The tri-​tip is pretty good too but is not as tender as the sirloin. Top is all off with their chimichurri sauce. !!
Jose is their guy who cuts and tends to the meat. He is really nice and friendly every time we come.
Their passionfruit juice tastes very authentic although maybe a bit too sweet. Also, their passionfruit pudding dessert is super delicious. great, light flavor… satisfying without being overwhelming. Um I guess I like passionfruit?
A great small business addition to the IE considering we don’t have options when it comes to Brazilian food. Good prices, good food.

Meat meat and more meat
This place was great! It was definitely more casual than some of the Brazilian steakhouses I’ve been to, but the price reflected as much. It was $ 20 for all you can eat and everything I ate was good!
Marianna was so great she showed me all of her favorite dishes and encouraged me to try things I may not have otherwise
Winners — sirloin and the sausages
Least fav — pork with bacon (shocking I know!) but it was a little dry for me.
Definitely try the beef stew and put it together with the pumpkin — yummy!

La comida riquísima ! La bebida guarana, esta deliciosa, para los niños se recomienda el de servirse solo una vez y para los adultos all you can eat, buena opción
