Samba Loca

Excellent. Rib eye cooked to perfection. Best cooked steak I've had this year. And I travel a lot. Brilliant barman waiter. Polite, attentive. Great wine choice as recommended. Argentina blend. Best meal out this year. 80 bucks for 3 courses and a 14 dollar glass of red. Go, you won't be disappointed.

My daughter had a showing of a movie that she was in at the Cultural Arts Center. We decided to take her out to eat. She chose this restaurant because it was one of her favorite memories from her childhood. My wife and I ordered the Steak Combo (our favorite thing on the menu and the best deal). My daughter ordered the Lamb Chops. My son ordered the Samba Milanese. My mother-in-law ordered the Top Sirloin Cap (Picanha). We also ordered the Garlic Shrimp for an appetizer because we used to order that when my daughter was young. Everything came out quickly and perfectly cooked. This place is the best! I would highly recommend this location.

Let's preface this by saying I'm brazilian: this is not a brazilian restaurant, this is an american take on brazilian food. The interior of the restaurant doesn't feel brazilian, the menu is not very brazilian apart from some stuff here and there and the food didn't taste very brazilian also, taking from the 3 items we ordered. The coxinhas were small and felt like the breading was italian seasoned, nothing like the original; the shrimp stroganoff didn't feel creamy; the "Picanha" was tough and didn't have the famous fat we're know from. Apart from that, the service was good, the manager even went and talked to us and comped the picanha. I wasn't expecting brazilian excellency by any means, but I didn't feel close to home at all. If you want to try real Brazilian food, you should go to Marietta. If you want some food that feels american with a twist, you'll be perfectly fine here.

Delicious. Every. Time!! Not a bad dish or plate, ever! Absolutely worth the money. We go when we want a good upscale dinner. We've been after a long day in shorts and yoga pants and we've been when we reserved a table and dressed up as well. You can eat as fast or slow as you want. Or take your time and not order meals till after you've eaten the appetizers etc. I'm gluten and dairy free among other allergies. They're always accommodating. Have a plentiful gluten free menu. Service is always amazing! If I ever remember to take a pic before I dive into my food I will, but once that food is in front of me, all that goes out the window!

4**** We have eaten here half a dozen times over the past six months and we have enjoyed every meal and every glass of wine and every staff member we have met such a group of polite young folks seemingly making a careeer in the industry we’ve ordered specials and straight off the menu and there’s a half a dozen dishes that we haven’t even had yet we kind of meandered towards fish and vegetables and salad which it taste like they make their own dressing and we usually take leftovers to go home and reheat the next day for lunch we usually get here early at 5 PM before the crowd hits I’m coming back next Monday and that’s all that matters :-)

Tonight was our first time eating at Samba Loca and it was excellent! Every single thing we ordered (4 of us) was great. Quality food, well prepared, and nicely presented. Our server was exceptional and the atmosphere was great. I love that we have an upscale restaurant right here in Carrollton. We will definitely be back!
