Question 1

What are typical prices at Costelão Grill, and why is my charge higher than I expected?

Accepted Answer

Most Costelão Grill locations operate either with a fixed rodízio price per person (often around R$40–R$140 depending on city, time, and what’s included) or à la carte dishes and pizzas, with drinks and a standard 10% service fee added to the bill.([restaurantguru.com](https://restaurantguru.com/Costelao-Grill-Vitoria-da-Conquista?utm_source=openai)) Your statement total may be higher than you recall if multiple people were on one check, if you added alcoholic drinks or desserts, or if a service fee or tip was added after you handed over the card. Compare the charged amount with your itemized receipt if you have it.

Question 2

Why do I see more than one Costelão Grill charge or a small extra amount on my card?

Accepted Answer

Some Costelão Grill restaurants may run an initial R$1–R$20 pre‑authorization or test charge to confirm your card, which then drops off after a few days. In busy dining situations, staff might also re‑run a card if a transaction times out or if the bill is split between guests, resulting in multiple nearby amounts on your statement. If the pending amount does not disappear or you believe you were double‑charged, contact the restaurant location and your card issuer to have one of the charges reversed.

Question 3

Can Costelão Grill place a hold or pending charge that is different from my final bill?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If the restaurant’s payment terminal is configured to pre‑authorize a rounded or estimated amount (for example, to allow for tips or service fees), the pending transaction you first see may be slightly higher than the final posted amount. Once the payment settles—usually within a few business days—the pending hold should be replaced by the exact total from your receipt. If the final posted amount still doesn’t match what you signed for, contact the restaurant and then your bank to dispute it.

Question 4

How do I get a copy of my receipt from Costelão Grill to verify this charge?

Accepted Answer

Because Costelão Grill is a brand used by independent restaurants, you’ll need to contact the specific location where you dined—such as Porto de Galinhas or Vitória da Conquista—and request a copy of the fiscal receipt (nota fiscal) or card slip.([tripadvisor.com.br](https://www.tripadvisor.com.br/Restaurant_Review-g303461-d26585870-Reviews-Costelao_Grill_Porto_de_Galinhas-Porto_de_Galinhas_Ipojuca_State_of_Pernambuco.html?utm_source=openai)) Provide the approximate date and time, the amount charged, the last four digits of your card, and the name on the card so staff can search their system. Most locations can resend a receipt by email, WhatsApp, or have a manager confirm the ticket details over the phone.

Question 5

How do I cancel or change a Costelão Grill reservation and could that affect my card?

Accepted Answer

Most Costelão Grill locations operate as traditional walk‑in restaurants or take reservations without charging a deposit, so canceling usually does not create a card charge or refund.([tripadvisor.com.br](https://www.tripadvisor.com.br/Restaurant_Review-g303461-d26585870-Reviews-Costelao_Grill_Porto_de_Galinhas-Porto_de_Galinhas_Ipojuca_State_of_Pernambuco.html?utm_source=openai)) However, if you booked through a third‑party platform or for a large group with a deposit, any refund or cancellation rules are set by that specific restaurant or booking site. Check your confirmation email or contact the restaurant directly to understand their policy and timing for releasing any pre‑paid amounts back to your card.

Question 6

I was charged by Costelão Grill on a day I don’t remember dining there. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

First, confirm whether you or anyone with access to your card was traveling in Brazil or near a Costelão‑branded restaurant on that date, and check if the time zone difference might make the date appear a day off. Search online for “Costelão Grill” plus the city shown in the merchant description on your statement to identify the exact location and call them to verify whether they processed a transaction with your card number on that day. If neither you nor your companions recognize the charge, immediately report it as unauthorized to your bank or card issuer so they can block the card and start a fraud investigation.

Question 7

How can I request a refund or correction if I was overcharged at Costelão Grill?

Accepted Answer

If you believe you were incorrectly billed (for example, too many rodízios, items you didn’t order, or a mis‑keyed amount), contact the specific Costelão Grill location as soon as possible and ask to speak with a manager, providing your receipt and card details. In Brazil, restaurants can issue a partial or full refund (estorno) through their card terminal, which will appear as a credit on your statement in several business days. If the restaurant does not resolve the issue or you’re no longer in the country, file a dispute with your card issuer, who can investigate and reverse the transaction if it’s found to be incorrect.

Question 8

Does Costelão Grill offer any kind of subscription, membership, or recurring billing?

Accepted Answer

No—Costelão Grill restaurants are traditional dine‑in eateries and churrascarias and do not typically sell subscriptions, delivery memberships, or recurring meal plans. A repeating Costelão Grill charge is more likely due to multiple separate visits, repeated use of a stored card (for example, during a long hotel or work stay near the restaurant), or potential card misuse. If you see unexplained recurring charges, contact the restaurant shown in the merchant description and then your bank to check for fraud or card cloning.
