Great meals don't just fill your plate—they fill your heart. That's why our hot sides feel like home at 12 Cuts Brazilian Steakhouse in Dallas. While our fire-roasted meats steal the spotlight, it's the warm, flavorful sides that bring a sense of comfort to every table. From the first bite of buttery pao de queijo to the last taste of caramelized banana, these sides wrap each guest in something familiar and satisfying. Served continuously throughout your meal, our specialty sides are more than just pairings—they're part of the experience. Whether diving into crispy fried polenta or savoring the sweetness of warm bananas, each dish adds balance and warmth to the churrascaria rhythm. These kinds of flavors remind you of something cozy, even while enjoying something entirely new.

Simple, Warm, and Served With Heart

Our side dishes aren't flashy—they're thoughtful, flavorful, and made with care. The cheese bread, or pao de queijo, arrives warm, soft, and with just the right amount of bite. It's often the first thing to hit the table, and guests tend to reach for it before they even look at the skewers. Our fried polenta is crispy on the outside and soft inside, offering a light crunch that pairs perfectly with every cut of meat. It's a texture that keeps the experience exciting while still feeling familiar. And then there are the caramelized bananas—sweet, soft, and just enough to refresh your palate. These sides aren't here to compete with the meat—they're here to make every bite feel balanced. That's what makes them so memorable. They're served often, served warm, and served with a smile.

Comfort Food That Completes the Churrascaria Experience

When you're enjoying the churrascaria style of service, timing is everything. The meats arrive in a steady rhythm, carved fresh at your table by our skilled gauchos. But between those bites, the sides keep your plate full and your senses satisfied. They're the steady companion to the bold, fire-roasted flavors that define our menu. The texture of polenta between tender lamb or the sweetness of banana after a bite of ribeye helps create a well-rounded experience. These transitions matter, and our sides help you enjoy each one more fully. There's a simplicity to these dishes that feels comforting, even during a meal that's full of variety and excitement. That contrast is part of what makes dining at 12 Cuts Brazilian Steakhouse feel both lively and relaxed all at once.
