If you love eating meat, Texas de Brazil never disappoints. The gauchos are constantly walking around to all the tables each with different types of meats on their skewers. Each cut of meat has its own unique flavor and has been expertly seasoned to perfection per individual type of meat.

This was our first time, and we went for my husband’s birthday! From the hostess to the waiter and managers, everyone was ridiculously kind and helpful! Such an amazing experience! We have gone to other Brazilian steakhouses and this one by far had the best cuts of meat!

Great steak/meat selection along with super salad bar and separate hot sides. If you like lots of good food at a fair price in a good setting, this place qualifies. We will return.

We were expecting a nice meal for the price, we waited too long for the food to come by our table, 3 pcs of steak I was served was very fatty, the lobster bisque was cold, it took over 20 minutes to finally get filet we had asked for.

The food was great but our main server was just ok. She had zero personality and seemed annoyed to be at work. We chose to celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary here after trying it last year and loving the food. I indicated on the reservation that we were celebrating and anniversary, it’s a question asked when reserving. I didn’t expect anything extravagant but even at less expensive restaurants they’ll send out a small dessert or have a little something on the table. The only acknowledgment was the hostess saying, “oh looks like you’re celebrating your anniversary. Happy anniversary!” The price is reasonable for all the food offered IF you can eat a lot.

Everything was great until we had to wait for the check for about 30mins. We celebrated a birthday didnt have room for desert but the server said she wanted to do ice cream then put it on the bill for $5 thats silly we didnt even really eat more than a bite. We frequently go here and the food is always on point and they bribg the meats around frequently! They also have the rewards program but forgot to check in so kind of pointless if they dont remind you or ask

Our experience at this location is always a 10 out of 10. The servers always make sure that we have what we need and take care of us. The meat always comes out tender and juicy, and they cook it to our liking. We like it well done, but they do it based on your preference. The salad bar is always fresh, and the hot bar is honesty my favorite part because of the potatoes au gratin and the lobster bisque. my personal favorite meat is the flank steak, and my wife loves the spicy picanha. My son only eats the fries, but he is very picky so that says a lot. I would sign up for their email list, so you can get their notification for the giving back card that they sell in March. You get 50% off 12 dinners when you do it, and you save a lot of money that way.
