Estábulo York in York

Amazing food, amazing staff, amazing service. The meat was cooked to perfection every single time and the salad bar was well stocked. Our server KJ never let our plates be empty and we left with very very full bellies! 12/10!!

Amazing meal staff are very attentive and the food is some of the best I've tasted in a long time

After visiting many steakhouses and always enjoying the food and atmosphere, we decided to give Establo at monks X, York a try for a works party. We visited on Saturday 5th October and were initially greeted by a very friendly manager. It took a long while for the food to start coming, most of which wasn't steak, but sausages, pineapple, chicken, and garlic bread. The salad bar was ok, and the steak when it finally arrived was nice, but they were tight with the delivery. It's a green and red card system, but despite leaving my card green, by about 8:30pm, the food service came to a hault. I had to remind the waitress that despite being in a party of people more interested in chat, I still wanted to continue with my meal. I gave up in the end. The staff are young and clearly have a thing to learn about service. Throughout our meal, all the empty drinks glasses were left at the table, they were never once cleared. I gave up and trying to eat the main course that stopped very early and instead we ordered deserts. It took over 30 minutes for the desert to arrive, at which point mine had been forgotten. When I prompted the waitress, I was told, they had sold out of what I ordered with no apology. We reluctantly ordered an alternative which was agreed free of charge due to the poor service. The bill of £650.00 arrived which included the desert and a £60.00 service charge. I paid the bill, less the desert and we walked out. Everyone in the team was disappointed. If your visiting this steakhouse don't expect much steak, expect even less from the service but be sure your bill won't be cheap. Disappointing.

Most of the meats offered were very dry and inedible except for the lamb which was delicious. The salad bar was very good and so were the chips. I spoke to the manager about the dry meat and undercooked garlic bread and he seemed sympathetic but he still charged us full price £96 for 2 people and that was after the service charge was deducted! Will not be returning

Came tonight for a treat as we love coming to the estabulo branches, I have used my blue light card a million times with estabulo and for some reason tonight I was told that it wasn’t accepted on this particular day no explanation? literally says on the website 10% off Monday-Thursday it’s only Wednesday?

Super food and service shout out to VJ , is expensive tho!

appalling service and food from my visit on 29th 2pm, poor warmed up meat , some not cooked , undercooked chicken, salad bar virtually empty, servers poor nearly spearing us with knife , untrained . tried to over charge us screwed bill up and charged us a service charge which is optional , we go to the Wakefield branch on regular basis and occasionally to York but never again to York. stopped going years ago when my daughter was stabbed by a server at her 18th party and wrapped her hand with a bandage in Wakefield years on we started going again when they relocated to new venue 5 years ago. several people complained about the service none of the usual staff. just kept bring out sour garlic bread, normally have some of the below when cooked and served right

I say this with a heavy heart. food was terrible. Salad bar empty I was expecting decent food after traveling 60 Miles and 130£lighter .hope this will improve

Excellent service Absolutely brilliant staff

Been tonight, lovely service. Lovely food. Very attentive small team, will be back

I went in without knowing that I need to book prior. As I was waiting to be offered, a gentleman came and told me they are full and I do need a reservation. Obviously the place wasn’t full (it was 2:30 pm). And I said to him if I can do the booking online on the spot. That’s when I realised that being just one person I probably wouldn’t spend enough money. The guy started to say that most probably I would not be able to find a booking. I left and on my way to a different restaurant I went on their website. And guess what? They did have available tables to book! A disgrace what has happened and the way I was treated!

Every single thing delivered to our table was fantastic, both halal meats (which I had) and non-halal meats (which some friends had), not to mention the excellent selection of rice, roasted potatoes, salads, and more from the salad bar. KJ was an excellent server and made sure we got what we wanted as quickly as possible every step of the way. Thank you so much! Don't forget to specify that you want halal meats while booking, there will be confirmation as you sit down but this is so they can ready the appropriate meats prior to your arrival.

Well it started actually bad with small skewers grilled dead/dry. But after asking for medium/rare we really got the rest of the meat perfectly. The waiter KJ really turned the dinner around. Thank you!

First class food only people in service was brilliant Alfie was the best (our sever)

All the food was nicely cooked and starters varied menu

Five of us had dinner Saturday night for a birthday. The staff and manager were sociable and friendly however only about half of the meats were offered to us, we weren’t offered any pork dishes. The service was very slow and we were waiting for the meats to arrive even tho we had the green tag face up on the table. It’s as if the whole waiting staff are kids and not being led very well. Yes, I know, we we all have to start somewhere but some form of leadership or experienced staff would be appreciated, the bill was nearly £300. My dad did have Happy Birthday sung to him and got some ice cream but we’d have preferred belly pork I think

No value for what you pay. You will be disappointed.

Great selection of meats on the menu and lovely salad bar. The restaurant was tidy and the service was great. Got to give KJ extra credit as he was wonderful and funny throughout. He made the experience so much better and entertained my younger siblings throughout the evening. Thank you!

Always a mighty fine dining experience, KJ was an excellent host both cooking and serving the mouthwatering steaks etc 😋

Brilliant. Just Brilliant. Sat in for 2 and a half hours. Amazing.

Had my 40th birthday lunch here with 25 members of my family. Excellent food, fantastic service, all with a smile. It was the perfect venue to look after such a big party and they did exceptionally well, comes highly recommended and I shall definitely be going back. The salad bar was great and the selection of meats they brought round was extensive and every single one was delicious. Absolutely faultless.

Amazing places one of the nicest restaurants iv ever been to. The service by kj I think was amazing he had us smiling all night and kept us topped up with food ! Genuinely if you go to york this is a must go

The food was delicious, although slightly cold. However the manager who was on shift during my time here was seemingly rude. Regardless, the food was still good quality.

As always the food was spot on and plentiful, kj looked after us , a party of four brilliantly, attentive to our needs . Thank you for a great night .

Friendly servers. Food ok. Quite expensive. Confusing offers and a rude Manager.

Absolutely fantastic evening here for my daughter's 10th birthday. KJ was amazing and so fun each time he came by the table. Also the front of house (I want to say Jason? Sorry bad memory of names!) All amazing, they even did a cake and ice cream for little ones birthday! Fantastic, brilliant, amazing. Will definitely be returning!

recently had the pleasure of dining at Estabulo, and it was an experience to remember. From the moment I stepped in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere was evident, with every staff member greeting us with smiles. A special mention goes to KJ, who served the food with such a positive and engaging personality that it truly elevated the entire dining experience. The salad bar was a highlight, particularly the mushroom garlic sauce, which was simply divine. I sampled all the halal options available and was thoroughly impressed, especially with the lamb with mint and the picanha. The flavors were rich and perfectly balanced. To top it all off, the pineapple with cinnamon at the end of the meal was a delightful touch that left a lasting impression. I was astonished by the quality of the food, especially considering the incredible value of just £20 for the August lunch offer. Without a doubt, I’ll be returning soon to indulge in this fantastic dining experience again!

Good place if u like meat jk was our Waiter and kept us well plated with meat. Very friendly. Top lad

Terrible Every piece of beef / “steak” was vile. Chewy. Cooked terribly. Paid £50 each for a bit of salad and bread. Told the staff and was just told “we have knocked the tip off your bill” Zero customer service. Never again!

My partner and I had an amazing time. The taff are so lovely. One of the servers KJ was coming round making sure that we were swelteringly full by the end of our meal. Jacob was very courteous and made sure we had the best experience in the restaurant. Will definitely be back again!

Had a great evening tonight at Estabulo York. The service provided by the staff was lovely, KJ was extremely personable when bringing round the food adding a lovely touch to the meal. Jacob was excellent throughout the out the night checking on our needs regularly. Would definitely recommend 10/10 p.s. the coleslaw was fab!

Absolutely amazing restaurant and well worth your money. I didnt get any photos of the food but all the meat is cooked to perfection; there is also vegetarian options on a menu for people who dont eat meat. Staff were absolutely lovely- especially KJ who was amazing and extremely polite.

Delicious food and friendly staff. Special shout out to KJ who kept us entertained through our meal

Absolutely delicious food, full to bursting now, lots of choice in the salad bar, and some surprises, like Garlic bread served to our table, need to find a cure for the meat sweats now! Friendly staff, nice chilled vibe ( wednesday night) will come again when we visit York again

We went for dinner, the food was delicious, the staff were nice, the meat guy KJ was super friendly he made sure we being served well. Thank you

Such a lovely evening and great food. Staff are all super every time we come but our main server tonight (KJ) was wonderful. So attentive, so considerate, so friendly, and clearly very hard working. An absolute credit to the team!

Amazing all you can eat, with soft drinks included. Kind staff, would come again, great in groups

Went for a birthday meal. Couldn't fault the food or the excellent service by KJ. Amazing steak, we will definitely be back.

I love the service from the waiter KJ, filled with love and passionate to work and serve tasty and delicious meals, absolutely love KJ ‘s vibe. Would visit again!

KJ gives good service and tasty food !

This is a place my partner and I enjoy every visit. The food is exemplary; a salad/side/starter bar, to add to the range of meats to follow, which has a great range of salads, continental meats, pasta and more. The meat is always described as how it will be cooked, which if not to your liking can be amended for future options in the same visit so you only take what you like. To give a gripe, when its early opening hours, with the restaurant more empty, the meats come out very fast, which for some is fantastic, but for those with less appetite, you may decline something you wanted in favour of eating warm food. This shouldn't distract from eating here, as the quality more than makes up for it. Also, best fries I've had, and happy to top up if you finish them.

Beyond disappointed with this place. We had friends visiting England for the first time, and after a positive experience at the Wakefield we were sure we would have the same in York. We booked the bottomless drinks option, which was a terrible decision. Upon arrival the waiter advised she did not know what drinks we could chose from and their was no menu for the bottomless drinks. Given this we ordered a plan and simple prosecco. After waiting 20 minutes for any meat to arrive at our table it was clear they were VERY short staffed. There were only two waiters who seemed to just walk around cleaning the tables and jumping behind the bar when needed(no actual bar staff) There was two gentlemen serving the meat but after waiting 20 minutes for the first slice it was apparent they must have been helping the chef also. Not once did the waitress come and check on the table and ask if we would like a 2nd drink. The service was that shocking that we finished our prosecco and had to walk to the bar to pay. Charging a table of 4 people over £200.00 for the service we had is ridiculous and fair to say we will not return. Thanks

Went a few weeks back with some friends and absolutely loved it!! Amazing service and food, clean place too.

Had a lovely meal & cocktail on Wednesday night with a friend. It was my first visit to Estabulo. Amelia was very friendly and attentive & kept the drinks flowing. I will definitely be back thank you ☺️

Excellent service couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome, James the site manager couldn't be anymore friendly

James the site manager was amazing and the service was impeccable

Had a lovely meal at this place. They have a separate halal menu with no cross contamination The team were very good- Kudos to Will, KJ, Amelia and Dragos.

Excellent meal last night! Fantastic and friendly servers and chefs, meat was cooked so well and took our dietary requirements into consideration perfectly meaning we could both enjoy each cut of meat. We went for the unlimited dining and drinks option and it was amazing value for money given how much you’re fed and all the drinks options (I had amazing mocktails!). We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in York. Thank you so much!

Ok but not the best Estabulo I've been to all the beef steaks tasted the same

Great service from KJ and very friendly staff, we will definitely come and also lady who clean our table she was also so friendly and happy looking person. Definitely recommend

Food was impeccable. Feijoada was great. The barbecue was very good. We were very well looked after by Dragos and Antonio.

Me and my husband came here on our honeymoon, it is best restaurant I've ever been too. The service was a 10/10, the food was outstanding 10/10. Thankyou to Alex, KJ & Brennan (apologies if that's spelt wrong) for looking after us. 😄🥰. You all deserve a round of applause ❤️ visted on Friday 31st May (5.30pm)

We are regular visitors to Estabulo and can't fault it. KJ and Dragous your legends, excellent service everytime. Garlic bread is to die for and they never fail to make sure it comes out. Nice to see regular staff and the same friendly faces each time. Great deals on at the moment so worth a look.

Great and friendly food service from KJ

Nice food and great service. Loving the unlimited evening meal with unlimited red wine (other drinks are available) for 1½ hours for an additional £5!

Absolutely love coming here! The food is always amazing and we always leave absolutely stuffed. The meat is cooked so perfect and the service is always amazing. Huge shout out to KJ who looked after us so well and never left us with an empty place. Would highly recommend and when you do try this place, save as much space for the sirloin and cinnamon pineapple.

This was 100% the best restaurant you could ever go to if you love salads and meats! Lovely service and amazing food ! 1000% recommend!

5 stars all round! The food is excellent both salads and meats and complimented by terrific service with nice restaurant surroundings. Two adults and two kids for lunch came to £25 per head with a tip which given the quality and service I thought represented very good value. They even gave my 12 year old a complimentary birthday dessert which was a nice touch

Had a lovely meal at this place, everything was great and service was faultless especially from the young man bringing the food out (KJ?) and the other staff, they were all friendly and attentive without being pushy........thanks for a great night :) Didn't get offered any garlic bread or Halloumi but perhaps we should have asked for them?

Friendly stuff brilliant food and lovely

We had a birthday lunch here yesterday, our waiter KJ was very attentive and friendly also a big thankyou to Antonio the chef who cooks the meat perfectly. Fresh salads and a bowl of chips too. Also a complimentary piece of cake and ice cream with a candle in for my son’s bday. We will definitely return.

KJ and Antonio were superb, very very very very fast service definitely get your moneys worth, will be returning when next in York x

Fabulous experience. Excellent food and top-notch service. KJ went out of his way to ensure that we enjoyed the meal.

Staff are amazing. Nothing is too much trouble. Made to feel very welcome

Kj served us brilliantly and chef Antonio was great in running the show

Delicious meats and sides, left feeling very full! The bottomless option is good value, drinks were good and flowing throughout

Fantastic can't wait to go again 😊

Come here regularly, and was excellent as always tonight. Served by Kj who was lovely.

Thoroughly enjoyable experience. Good food. Great salad selection and attentive staff that are happy to serve.

Sorry but the photos you showed looks horrible the last one looks like a rotten p...s😕 Sorry but put me off .

Came here with my sister last week! Nice service , in particular by KJ! Sister was very happy with generous amount of cinnamon pineapple :)

KJ was such a lovely server and even gave us a doggy bag for our Labrador! Amazing food and service

Beautiful restaurant, with amazing food prepared by the chef Antonio. The salad bar is a fantastic complement, the meat was delicious, and everything tastes very authentic. Pro tip: Sagres tastes better in half-pints.

Great service from KJ and Emelia and delicious food Great evening for partners birthday

Always excellent food . Great staff .

From the minute we walked in Will at front of house was so welcoming and friendly explaining everything and quick to get a drink to us which is always important in my world . Great service from everyone throughout our visit . Will return again

Absolutely beautiful food here for lunch, meat served by KJ and he did a splendid job. All the staff are friendly and the food is to die for! Never eating again, bloody stuffed!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Estabulo in Monks Cross, York, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. The food was absolutely amazing—every dish was a delight. One of the highlights of the experience was the short wait times between the arrivals of different meats, ensuring a continuous and varied dining experience without any long pauses. But what truly set this visit apart was the service, particularly from KJ. KJ was not just attentive to our needs but also brought a level of friendliness and humor to our table that elevated the entire meal. It’s rare to encounter someone so dedicated to providing an excellent dining experience. KJ's professionalism and warmth significantly contributed to our evening, making it even more special. I would highly recommend Estabulo at Monks Cross to anyone looking for top-notch food and service. Whether you're a fan of meat or just in search of a pleasant dining experience, you won't be disappointed. Make sure to ask for KJ—you'll be in great hands!

Visited this evening and wow! Fantastic service amazing staff especially KJ he went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we wanted and really made us feel welcome with his happy personality even checked several times if there was anything in particular we wanted food wise the place itself it’s beautifully laid out and very clean! 100% recommend! Thank you KJ for making our experience that little bit extra special.. x

Food was plentiful and great quality, service superb, very attentive

Service from kjay was excellent really enjoyed my self

Was served by KJ. Amazing service. Food was really good. Deffo recommend

Went here recently for a staff do and the staff were friendly and polite. Selection of meats and the salad bar where great too. Not just your standard salad bar it had great choice. I would highly recommend and I'll definitely be visiting again.

Very nice food good salad bar fresh food best steak around

Excellent food and services. Asked for pork belly and didn’t come which wasn’t a real big deal. Our main server was KJ who was very helpful. The only downside and disappointment was the fact that 10% was added to our bill so a tip was not left. Wr felt we could not ask for this to be removed. Other than that a successful second visit

The food is great. The drinks are great. But the staff were even better. KJ and Will were very kind, friendly, funny and charming. They would make me want to come back again 😃

Antonio and kj as well as the kind gentle man who met us at the door where all lovely and polite and where very chatty. 10000000% recommend! Will be back. Thank you

My wife and I stopped here today whilst shopping for her birthday it's a nice Brazilian themed chain restaurant it's has a very nice cold buffet bar with a huge selection and cooked meat is brought around and sliced at your table all of which was good my favourite was the minted lamb the bill was reasonable at £75 including a glass of red and a beer, We where welcomed by a very friendly member of staff called "Dragos" he was very polite and professional and rounded off a nice lunch, he also gave me wife a free desert for her birthday with a candle on which was a nice gesture, top marks for him!.

Amazing dinner for Valentines Great food, service & atmosphere The staff couldn’t do enough for us Value for money was exceptional & we will be back

Excellent service especially from Brennan who was extremely helpful and remembered what we preferred. Will definitely return.

Great food, great customer service by Elodie

A great catch up with friends in York. Great venue, amazing food and Elody our server was so lovely., as were all the colleagues who attended the table.Highly recommend.. just make sure you save enough room to sample all the delicious meats they serve.

Staff were friendly, smiling and efficient, service was spot on, food was great. Have eaten in many Brasillian restaurants - U.K., U.S.A., Angola and Brasil. This is up with the best.

Great food great service from Rose,she is lovely and always ready to help . Highly recommended.

Lovely Brazilian rodizo steak restaurant. Staff are very good. Lots of cuts. Lovely food. Cant fault. Halal and they are considerate of halal dietary requirements. Recommend. Lovely salad bar.

We've come here twice, once last month and again yesterday evening. Both times were fantastic with great service and all our food being very nicely cooked. The selection of meat available is good and the staff were happy to bring less popular menu items on request (the chicken hearts are delicious!) The staff really went above and beyond to make us comfortable and we were always well-attended. Our first visit we were served by two servers (Rosa and Maisie), whereas last night we were looked after by Ben- both occasions the staff were attentive and friendly. Thanks for the lovely meal Estábulo, we'll be back!

Surprisingly good value. Excellent steak and very good service.

Absolutely amazing food ! The staff were very welcoming and the service from a lad called ‘Ben’ was just outstanding. Perfectly cooked to what we asked for, patient and helpful staff all round. Will definitely be returning !

The food was good but the service was slow....... considering its suppose to be all you can eat, I left unsatisfied. The amount of meat given at one time was appalling.... literally one bite. Then they disappear for 5 minutes before returning to give you one bite. Would not recommend.

Very accommodating, had a slight issue on our side with a member of our party being late. Our server was happy to reheat/being fresh meat out for their arrival Meat was topnotch and is all served medium rare (unless you ask for your preference) Thank you again for being so accommodating during a stressful hiccup on our side.
