What locals are saying
Lasso Gaucho is broadly regarded as Charleston's go-to rodizio experience — locals and visitors alike praise the 16-cut USDA Prime meat parade, attentive gaucho service, and a salad bar with 30-40 fresh options, with standouts being the ribeye, lamb chops, and the tableside flaming Carajillo coffee dessert. However, a persistent complaint surfaces around reservation management: multiple OpenTable reviewers flag overbooking on busy nights (especially Valentine's Day) and hour-plus waits even with confirmed reservations, pointing to a gap between floor-level hospitality and front-of-house operations. Worth noting: Yelp's current listing reflects a possible rebrand under the name 'Cowboy Brazilian Steakhouse' at the same Mall Dr address, which may signal an ownership or concept shift that locals haven't yet fully processed online.
