My favorite restaurants in the country are Brazilian steakhouses! I can honestly say that i have never tasted better tasting meat than at one of these steakhouses. WHile there are plenty throughout the country, not all of them are even close to being as good as the ones below. THough i will say the majority of them are still very good. A good example of this is Churrascaria Plataforma in Manhattan. Very pricey. And tasty. But not even in the same league as the ones below.

The best one in the country is Porcao. http://www.porcaous.com/ I have only been the the New York location.

Now prior to visiting Porcao, i had visited many of these and thought there was no brazilian steakhouse better than my 2nd favorite Brasilia, in Newark, NJ. THey do not have a website.... but i can honesty say they are great. the restaurant resides in the Portuguese section of Newark. So its very authentic.

I have also been to http://www.brazzaz.com/ in Chicago. It was pretty good as well.
