Review: I recently had the pleasure of dining at Texas de Brazil, and I can confidently say that it deserves a glowing five-star review. From the moment my family and I stepped into the restaurant, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a dining experience that exceeded our expectations. The salad bar at Texas de Brazil is an absolute delight. It offers a wide array of fresh and vibrant options, ranging from crisp greens and vegetables to a variety of delicious salads and tempting appetizers. The selection was impressive, and the quality of the ingredients was exceptional. It was a perfect start to the meal, allowing us to indulge in a variety of flavors and textures. Now, let's talk about the star of the show—the meat. Texas de Brazil truly knows how to deliver on the meat front. The continuous table-side service of perfectly cooked and succulent cuts of beef, lamb, pork, and more was a carnivorous dream come true. The meats were tender, flavorful, and expertly seasoned. The gauchos carving and serving the meats were attentive, ensuring that we had a constant supply of mouthwatering options. The variety of cuts available was impressive, catering to all preferences and ensuring that every member of our family found something they loved. What made the experience even more enjoyable was the attentive service from the staff. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive to our needs. They went above and beyond to ensure that our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. From explaining the different cuts of meat to offering recommendations and checking in on us regularly, their level of service was outstanding. The ambiance of Texas de Brazil added to the overall enjoyment of our meal. The restaurant had a comfortable and inviting atmosphere that made us feel relaxed and at ease. It was the perfect setting for a family gathering, providing a spacious and pleasant environment for conversation and celebration. Overall, Texas de Brazil delivered a five-star experience for my family and me. The combination of the fantastic salad bar, the incredible variety and quality of the meats, and the attentive service made for an unforgettable dining experience. Whether you're a meat lover or looking for a great salad bar, Texas de Brazil is a must-visit restaurant. It's an ideal destination for a memorable meal with family or friends.

I have never been to this style of dining restaurant before (although now that I think of it, I have had Chinese Buffet's) and our waitress knew we had never been to an establishment like this. We were so excited to try this place because we had heard such great things in the past. Now, the food itself was perfect! The meats were cooked medium-rare to medium, which is how we like them cooked. The taste and textures were perfect. The salad bar and imported cheeses were divine. The downfall(s)- don't let me make a 9:15 pm dinner reservation when you close at 10 pm. We were still eating, and they were vacuuming the floors! I absolutely hate when restaurants do that! They give you this little card with a red side and a green side to indicate if you want more meat put on your plate. We had the red side up because there was already too much to eat on the plate, but they kept bringing it out and cutting meat to put on the plate. We ate through about half the plate of heaping meat and couldn't eat anymore. We were the only patrons left in the restaurant, and I asked the waitress for the check and if you would have a to-go container because there was so much food still left on our plates. They would not let us have a to-go container! I was astounded. Seriously, you are going to throw out all that perfectly good food instead of letting us bring it home? If we had known that, we would have been more adamant about not letting the servers put more meat on our plates even though we had the red card side up! Shame on Texas de Brazil for being so wasteful and honestly seeing as we were the only patrons left in the place they could have bent the rule, as one to make us happy and two to not be so wasteful. It made us very sad to know that all that food was going to waste. I'm really not sure I would go back knowing how much food is wasted and the fact that they weren't accommodating.

Birthday dinner extravaganza!!!! My first time here and it was an awesome experience. I won't spoil how it all works because that is part of the experience!! First off our waiter Jeffrey was so helpful and attentive!! He explained the dining process, took our drink orders and the adventure began. Since they have their own special Brazilian rum I ordered what was close to a Pina Colada and my daughter ordered what was kinda like a Mai Tai. Delicious!! The salad bar is full of all kinds of delicious things - make your own salad, other tasty sides, and my favorite was the sharkcoochie fare!! (Hence the pre food plate pic). There was lobster bisque (my daughter said it was good and perfect for dipping bread into), scalloped potatoes (these were not that great as it seemed the cheese sauce tasted like box sauce - maybe too much flour?), Jasmine rice (yummy), Brazilian black beans (also yummy) and sauteed mushrooms in a delicious gravy. Then the meat makes it's rounds RIGHT TO YOU!! The gauchos (Jeffrey said that is who they are) come with a spit and slice the meat to your liking. I will not spoil the choices but there is something for everyone!! Every bite I took was delicious with the exception to the pork - it was a bit dry but nothing the gravy from the mushrooms couldn't fix. Also brought to the table is garlic mashed potatoes and sweet plantains - both were really good. Forgot to mention the basket of kinda corn(bread) muffins that might have included cheese in them. So good. We had another awesome waitress come over (Lisa maybe) who was so sweet and showed us the desert options. Since it was my bday I ordered the carrot cake. It had pistachios in it and I absolutely love carrot cake plus hell it's my bday imma have a cheat day!! A most enjoyable experience with excellent food, ambiance and service.

Okay, I'm going to say this first and get it out of the way: This place is expensive! $50 per person for dinner, before adding on anything else like drinks or extras. Had a bit of sticker shock the first time I saw the bill. Now we can talk about everything else. The cost is worth it. Everything I put into my mouth tonight, from the house signature cocktail to the wide array of meat, was absolutely delicious. The meats were well cooked and well seasoned, and the servers cycled around the room often enough that we had to flip our cards to red to "pause" service a couple of times so that the meat didn't pile up faster than we could eat it. The salad bar is what every other salad bar in every other restaurant in the whole country wants to be when they grow up. The variety and quality was next level. I could easily have filled up just on vegetation. The hot plates were delicious too. Their lobster bisque is different than what I'm used to, with a milder flavor and a surprising touch of spicy heat. Dessert was on the house since we were there for a special occasion, which was very kind of them. Those too were full of flavor but balanced, not too sweet or rich. This is definitely a "once in a while" kind of place because of the price point, but if you can fit it into your budget it's absolutely worth it.
