I recently dined at Texas de Brazil and had an underwhelming experience. The atmosphere had a modern vibe with clean lines and an upscale aesthetic. The staff were neatly dressed and appeared professional. Our servers were warm and friendly. The buffet had a number of cold and warm options. This is a Brazilian steakhouse, however the steak and the meat were not the star. The bacon wrapped filet mignon was overcooked to the point that the internal temperature made the meat grey. The portions of meat served were small. The service was also somewhat slow despite the restaurant being near empty on a Wednesday evening. We received our drinks approximately 15-20 minutes after ordering them. Chimichurri and mint jelly would have been great condiments to complement our meat, but were served after we were done eating. Dessert options were plentiful and delicious. The coconut Brazilian Limade was fresh and perfectly balanced in flavors. Overall, the price point for the meal did not reflect the value.

Thank-You Note Draft for Texas de Brazil
To the Management Team at Texas de Brazil (Smith Haven Mall),
I am writing to commend the exceptional service I received during my recent dining experience. Everything was outstanding, and I look forward to coming back soon.
First and foremost, the atmosphere was clean and organized, and the food quality was excellent—the meat service was hot and fresh, and the salad bar was full, complete, and impressive.
However, the highlight of the evening was the service provided by our server, Victoria. She was incredibly friendly, polite, and professional, and her welcoming attitude truly made me feel valued as a guest. Staff like Victoria are the reason customers return. Please recognize her for her outstanding hospitality.
Thank you for a wonderful meal and exceptional service.
Sincerely,
Alexander

This is my third time dining at Texas de Brazil, and once again I left completely satisfied. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is great, but what really stands out is the service.
All of the carvers are excellent, but I especially want to recognize Kevin and Diego. They kept checking to make sure everything was perfect and made my meat cuts exactly the way I like them. Kevin was very friendly and talkative, with such a positive attitude, and he offered me everything to make sure I had a great experience.
I will definitely be coming back again. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Came here with my family and was happily satisfied with the food and the service.
The salad area has so many options to choose from, the meats were very tasty and kept coming around frequently.
Our server was great, she kept coming to the table to check on us and making sure the meats were to the temperature of our liking.
The manager, Victoria was fantastic with such a friendly attitude and great customer service which definitely made the whole experience even better.
We will definitely be coming back

“Great place to eat at Smithtown Heaven Mall. The salad bar offers fresh, high-quality options that pair well with the meats. I’ll be honest—not all cuts were to my taste, as some were a bit heavy on spices—but there were many I really enjoyed. The sausages and beef cuts stood out as excellent, while the lamb and chicken weren’t my favorites. Overall, great value for the food. Our server, Betty, was outstanding, and the caipirinha prepared by manager Victoria was excellent. With such great service, the experience was truly enjoyable, and I’ll definitely be back.”

We were very pleased with our server, Connor, who was very attentive and friendly. The food was good and there were a good variety of sides. The problem was that at the next table was a dog who was literally being fed off of the same fork as the person dining. Those utensils are used by others afterwards and even though they are washed just the thought of it was unappealing. Not to mention meat is being brought to the table where the dog was and then being brought around to other tables. The dog was literally licking the table and barking. It really ruined our dining experience. I understand there are exceptions for emotional support animals, but I have never seen a dog allowed to dine in a restaurant.

I initially wouldn’t have chosen to eat here as a vegetarian, but I was invited and decided to give it a try. To my surprise, the buffet offered several vegetarian options, and the salad was absolutely delicious. There were so many dishes I had never tried before, and everything was fantastic. My friend and his family thoroughly enjoyed the meat selections, which were consistently brought to the table. The staff was friendly and attentive, adding to the positive experience. As a vegetarian, I was truly satisfied with the variety and quality of the food. I highly recommend this restaurant!
