Gauchos Do Sul to Open New Brazilian Steakhouse in Webster's Flyway Development

A sizzling new addition is coming to Southeast Houston’s food scene. Gauchos Do Sul, the upscale Brazilian steakhouse known for its authentic open-flame churrasco experience, is expanding once again—this time to Webster, Texas.

The restaurant’s fourth Houston-area location is slated to open in Flyway, the large mixed-use development near I-45 that’s transforming Webster into a new hub for dining, retail, and entertainment. According to public filings with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, the new location will span approximately 9,000 square feet, with an estimated construction cost of $2 million. The projected completion date is December 2025.

What Makes Gauchos Do Sul Unique?

Founded in 2016 by restaurateurs Daison Cima and Ledersan Erdmann, Gauchos Do Sul quickly gained recognition for its upscale ambiance and deeply rooted culinary traditions from southern Brazil. The name itself honors the “gauchos”—the legendary South American cowboys known for grilling meats over open flames, a technique central to the restaurant’s identity.

Each location offers a classic rodizio-style experience: continuous tableside service of perfectly seasoned meats, a gourmet salad bar, and refined hospitality. The concept captures the heart of Brazilian cuisine while delivering a modern dining experience ideal for celebrations, date nights, and group gatherings.

Expansion into Webster: A Strategic Move

The choice of Webster’s Flyway development is no accident. With residential growth booming in nearby areas like League City, Clear Lake, and Friendswood, this location puts Gauchos Do Sul in the heart of a rapidly expanding suburban dining market.

Flyway is being positioned as a regional destination and already features a mix of restaurants, retail, office, and entertainment options, making it a prime spot for a high-end dining concept. At 9,000 square feet, the new Gauchos Do Sul is expected to mirror the scale and elegance of its previous locations.

Global Sourcing, Local Flavor

Through a partnership with WorldClass, a Houston-based premium food service provider that sources ingredients from over 24 countries, Gauchos Do Sul ensures its menu remains globally inspired and locally consistent. This partnership reflects a commitment to quality and authenticity, whether it’s imported cuts of beef or specialty wines curated for the perfect pairing.

From Tomball Roots to Regional Recognition

The brand began in Tomball in 2016 and now includes three Houston-area locations, with the fourth coming soon:

• Tomball (Original)

• The Woodlands

• Memorial City

• Webster (Coming December 2025)

Each restaurant has stayed true to its mission: celebrating Brazilian heritage through food and community.

As Southeast Houston continues to grow, the addition of Gauchos Do Sul to Flyway in Webster marks another exciting step forward for the local dining scene. With a blend of culinary tradition, modern ambiance, and top-tier service, this expansion promises to bring the soul of Brazil a little closer to home.
