First, let me say, it’s still a good dining experience. The filet mignon was excellent — tender and flavorful — and I appreciate that they offer fries in addition to the traditional mashed potatoes. The fried plantains were also good, slightly firmer than I remember, but still enjoyable.
That said, I couldn’t help but notice a decline in a few areas compared to what I’ve experienced in the past. The sirloin was tougher and less flavorful than I remember. It wasn’t bad, just not as memorable as it used to be. The lobster bisque also seemed more watered down — I distinctly remember it being thicker and richer before. The salad bar selection felt more limited as well, and on a Saturday night, I expected a wider variety of meats circulating. It didn’t feel as abundant as previous visits.
Service was a bit slower than expected, especially considering how busy weekends usually are. When you’re dining at a Brazilian steakhouse, timing and consistency really matter to the overall experience.
I may have walked in with high expectations because Texas de Brazil has consistently been my number one choice in the past. Compared to other Brazilian steakhouses, it used to stand out above the rest for me. Now, I’d say it’s still in my top three — just not quite holding the top spot anymore.
I’ll definitely return and give it another try, just maybe not anytime soon.
Right from the start, things were off. Our server didn’t even realize we had been seated. When we sat down, I noticed the table had wet spots and even pieces of dried meat left on it. That immediately set a bad tone for what was supposed to be a special night. To make matters worse, we later realized the forks weren’t clean either, which was pretty concerning in hindsight.
Our waiter, Brenda S., rarely checked on us and was poorly attentive throughout the entire visit. Service overall felt disorganized.
The biggest issue was the complete lack of coordination between the meat servers and the waitstaff. My girlfriend clearly asked for medium-well, but the meat servers were not coordinating with anyone about her request. They kept bringing different temperatures and didn’t acknowledge what she actually wanted. Since they couldn’t provide medium-well, they started giving her very small pieces instead. It honestly felt like she was an afterthought rather than a paying guest.
It also took a long time for meat to reach our table, and we weren’t even given plates for about 15 minutes while meat servers were already walking around. That’s basic service that shouldn’t be missed at a restaurant at this price point.
What frustrated me most was seeing my girlfriend not enjoy her birthday dinner because of all this. That’s what really upset me.
To make matters worse, I had mentioned we were celebrating her birthday and was told we’d receive a complimentary dessert. When the bill came, we were being charged for it. After I questioned it, the waiter said, “let me see what I can do,” and got a manager. The manager eventually comped the dessert after we complained, but it’s still the fact that we were told one thing and then presented with a charge. That felt misleading and unnecessary on what was supposed to be a special occasion.
Overall, the lack of cleanliness, coordination, attentiveness, and clear communication made this a very disappointing experience. For the price you pay here, this level of service is unacceptable.
If you want a better Brazilian steakhouse experience where staff are attentive and actually care about how you like your food, I’d honestly recommend going to Chama Gaúcha or Brasão instead. We’ve had far better experiences there.
The meat was incredibly tender and full of flavor, with special shout-outs to the flank steak and the leg of lamb—both were absolutely delicious.
