    Traditional caipirinha
    Mia M.

    We traveled across the state to eat here from the west side, and met up with some family for an overnight excursion. This restaurant did not disappoint, and I'd give this a solid 4.5 if we could rate partials. My biggest regret is that I wish I could have eaten more! We made same day reservations and had 3 or 4 options to select from. When we arrived we were not aware it was in a mall, so had to park a little ways away but it wasn't so bad despite the cold. Upon arrival, we were greeted immediately and seated within a couple of minutes. We were seated right next to the wine cellar, which was interesting to look at and didn't feel like we were in the "middle" of the dining room as others might have experienced. The waitress came quickly and explained the restaurant experience and took our beverage orders. Alcohol came a bit slow (we were nearly on our second helping), but water was refilled plenty. The salad bar was well stocked and kept being replenished and the meat coming around was never ending. They let you know most is cooked to "medium rare," though there were plenty of medium and medium well options as well. Nearly all of the meat was juicy, flavorful, and tender! Personally my five star favorites of the night were the lobster bisque, bacon wrapped filet, pecan crusted sirloin, and the carmalized pineapple slices (from the salad bar). My least favorite od anything I tried was the garlic chicken, but not because it was bad, simply all of the steak options were spectacular. Also tried the traditional lime caipirhina (others in my party tried the mango and coconut.) It wasn't my favorite, but I'm also not partial to traditional margs typically, I just wanted the experience. After a little while, the server delivered bread, fries, cinnamon bananas, and garlic mashed potatoes to the table. We were already getting full by then, so only tried a few bites of each. My kiddo (16y) loved the cinnamon bananas and I was a fan of the mashed potatoes, despite being so full! Finally, we decided to choose desserts, which are not included in the meal FYI. They had a nice selection, but I'd skip in the future. As much as I love Crème brûlée, for the price, it wasn't worth it to me as I was already so full and it wasn't spectacular. We all left satisfied and happy with the experience overall. While I've dined in a Brazilian steakhouse before, this was a much better experience - from ambiance to food quality, and I was happily able to eat much of the food as it wasn't too spicy. While definitely on the pricy side (a party of 5+ a few drinks and desserts with a healthy tip was a $4xx.xx+ investment), overall it was a really fun experience that I'd recommend for anyone looking for a fun night out. 5 stars would have been given for a) warning desserts weren't included b) better desserts c) a boneless chicken option

    @ Briarwood, eastern side.

    The dining room was electric that day, for brunch. Staff charming and helpful. Food reminded me of the Brazilian Dishes I remember from multiple trips. Caipirinhas lovely. Obrigado.

    What a great experience! Parking wasn't bad at all since the mall has a huge parking lot, so that was a relief. Came in with pre-made reservations and seated immediately. The inside was beautiful; they keep things very well kept because everything still looked new. The salad bar was full of amazing treats that were fresh and delish. And then the endless meat started rolling in. Every piece was hot and ready to be devoured. Every bite was seasoned miraculously and I just wanted more and more. Unfortunately, they don't have a physical list of all the meat options. You have to look online to see the list of meats offered. Needless to say, We tasted almost the entire list! And ended up taking our dessert to go; the Caramel cheesecake! It was the perfect finish! I would definitely return!

    Great food and service. I tried not to eat too much and failed! The sides were great and I found I really like the flavor of lamb.

    Located at Briarwood mall, next to PF Chang's. At Texas De Brazil before 5:30 PM. There is a bit of a wait despite our 5:30pm reservations. Other folks are waiting as well. We are finally seated after a 22 minutes of waiting. Rather long for having a reservation if you ask me. Estefan is waiting on us today. She asked if we have dined here before. My husband said not at this one, she continued to tell us what the concept of Texas De Brazil is. I stopped her to let her know we have been to Churrascerias and Texas De Brazil before, just not to this location. She continued on with her explanation of what the soups were and that the meat is all medium rare and asked if that was okay. I said I would like my meats well done. She told me to inform the Gaucho. Ok. The lobster bisque was quite watery and didn't have any meat in it at all. Just creamy essence mostly. Disappointing. The Parmesan chicken and the bacon wrapped chicken are both moist and far as meat goes. The Parmesan chicken was the first stop meat to us. The filet mignon meat isn't too bad. Even better with the Chimmichurri, although it's also quite salty. My husband liked the picante beef. The salad bar was lame. Nothing special and certainly not worth $32. We picked the Brazilian cheesecake with caramel and pecan nuts on them as well as the three layered chocolate ganache cake. The Brazilian cheesecake isn't too bad, not too sweet, just sweet enough. The chocolate ganache is decadently chocolatey, the top layer is the better part of the layers. The cake dough is white spongey as far as texture, that's not so good. The Brazilian cheesecake was the better of the two desserts. Neither was worth $12 though. Would have been nice if Estefan had informed us when we ordered the dessert that they were a la Carte and that each is $12 a piece. I have never ordered or eaten or been physically able to make to dessert either at any Churrascarias at all. I see why. My husband was happy to get a taste of all of the red meats he doesn't generally get to eat through the year, although most weren't so good beyond the filet and the bacon wrapped chicken. The lamb and the Parmesan lamb is quite dry. The lamb is better with some of the mint jelly. The cheese bread is bland and not so cheesy, just chewy is all, nowhere near as good as Fogo. The redskin mashed potatoes are far too salty for me. The fries are bland and not crispy. Wow all of the salad items are super salty, feels like I am in Brazil again. Keeps you imbibing at least. The bacon wrapped chicken and the Parmesan chicken was the most moist meats and the better meats to me. The filets were decent, but too red and rare for me. The pork and the lamb was way too dry. My husband tried and liked the mint jelly with the lamb and tried the chimmichuri sauce with the beef and chicken too. Both were good condiments with the lamb and beef. The Brazilian dressing is good, it's like a gazpacho. Desserts are A La Carte here! I thought it was included in the price. Not so. I let Estefan know she should make sure to inform customers, so no one else makes that assumption. The menu and website is deceiving as I figured the dessert was part of the "and more". Dinner and desserts was $149.12. The Gauchos kept the meat coming to our table. Although one Gaucho in a rush decided to go behind me and caught my hair up against my chair and his backside as he could have gone down the open aisle instead to serve the guy between my husband and me. I let out a bit of a sound since he pulled my hair tight, he didn't even notice as he was busily trying to serve the table next to us. :/

    It is not like a Brazilian barbecue but a good one. It is undoubtedly the best in Michigan. They don't have a good variety of meals, but the buffet is good

    It was my first time at Texas de Brazil but I'm fairly familiar with the Brazil churrascaria (steakhouse) concept as I've been to a few Fogo De Chaos across the country (as well as the one in Troy. The steakhouse concept is consistent & it's fun! If you haven't been, it's all you can eat experience with servers walking around with large skewers of meat & they basically carve and serve you table-side. You have these little red+green coasters that you flip on your own when you're ready for more meat! Honestly, my experience at Texas De Brazil was pretty comparable to Fogo BUT Fogo has better pao de quejio (the complimentary Brazilian cheese bread). At TDB, though, you also get mashed potatoes, plantains and french fries brought to you. I didn't expect the inside to be nice/upscale but it was still fairly casual dress with many tables w/ kiddos, etc so it didn't feel stuffy at all. Some tips: *Make a rezzie via OpenTable. A couple of walk-ins were quote over an hour wait! *Costco has Texas De Brazil gift cards! Get you some for an even better value!

    Cheese bread. Delicious

    Good customer service. Friendly stuff , they ask for refill for drinks frequently. Clean and modern ambiance and family friendly. The meat they serve were great. But bacon wrapped chickens were a over cooked and dry. But I highly recommend beef. They were cooked perfectly. I tried Brazilian soda . It is lightly carbonated and has a slight cherry flavor. The soda paired well with the foods. The salad bars were fresh and had many varieties. Deserts were in including in the price but unfortunately I was too full to have them. That is my only regret. The price is high so definitely this is the place for celebrating special occasion.

    I am not a big eater. Do you have a menu for specific and smaller order or is the menu a one price for all?

    Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately, the only lighter menu option we offer is our salad area only… 

    Price? With desserts?

    Thanks for reaching out! Our dinner price, which consists of endless servings of our flame-grilled meats & chef crafted salad area items is $53.99 per adult. Desserts, drinks, tax & gratuity are not included.

A cheese popover was complimentary, one for each of us. Very cheesy, hot from the oven. We also shared the crab cake appetizer. It comes with two crab cakes. Has flash fried leeks and a roasted pepper sauce. Big chunks of crab. Yummy. For entrees I got the 8 ounce fillet mignon with a Cabernet deli glacé, and the cheddar au gratin potato side. My husband got the scallops with a garlic mashed potato side and a grilled asparagus side. The fillet was absolutely delicious. So so tender and flavorful. Didn't really need the glacé, which was also delicious. The cheddar gratin potatoes were just ok. Not a lot of flavor, but it was HUGE. Could easily have been shared by 3 adults no problem. However, I would skip this side. My husband enjoyed his scallops, but there were only six. He's a big guy so luckily his one pound of garlic mashed potatoes, which were better than the gratin potatoes, and grilled asparagus helped to fill him up. The sides are massive, so order with the intent to share, unless you like taking home leftovers. I also had the Baking in Basil mocktail. It was terrific. Basil, blueberry syrup, simple syrup, lime ginger beer. Very refreshing. Husband drank water. Total bill was $300 plus tip. Only for 25th Anniversary. I just can't justify that price for a normal Saturday night out. We more than likely won't be back, but it was a nice one time experience.

The dining room is still like stepping back in time. Nothing has changed. really. nothing. Our visits have slowed in the last couple years due to the poor experiences we've had, but this last one was the final straw. I am done with Knight's Steak House and the attitudes from the servers. The food isn't good enough nor is there value enough to put up with that level of (lack of) service. I booked a reservation for 6 on a Monday night at 7pm to celebrate a birthday. From the start, the server was short and took WAY too long to come around just for drinks. (25 mins) She had an attitude and before our people were even there, I had a feeling we should leave. I didn't want our son's birthday to be spoiled by this server, but too late. After waiting 25 mins to PUT IN a drink order, we got drinks after appetizers were gone. When she finally brought the drinks, did she stick around to take our order when we asked her to take our orders. We had a kid in our party and it was already near 8pm. IDK what her hold up was or why she was so unavailable to a party of 6 but that was ridiculous. We are pretty easy and very forgiving but throw attitude on top and that ensures we got the message and not a place we would like to go again. The wine selection is crap but the pours are heavy. The dinner salad on special is $13 (with a 6oz steak add on for an additional $15) but was the size a side plate. No reason there could not have been just more lettuce in it. Charge more for a bigger size even. The steak was proper cooked temp but served lukewarm and no flavor. Same for the kid's meal - lukewarm. She was about sleep on the table before the food came out so she didn't eat much anyway. n the upside, they know how to serve a sandwich, on end, so the bread doesn't get soggy and he said the sandwich was good. Our 3 boys had steaks and they didn't complain though they said it could use some flavor. Then I remembered that you have to ORDER flavor. Why didn't the server ASK any of use if we wanted seasoning on our steaks? We aren't a table full of old people. 3 men in their 20s might want some flavor. Horrible experience and getting worse with each visit. $300 bill I hope someone comes in an shapes up this place. That was ridiculous. Crystal was a fantastic server but I heard she is gone when I asked for her section.

As we were walking to the restaurant, my diabetic mother started feeling her blood sugar drop. By the time we got inside, it had fallen to 44, so we headed to the bar and asked for a Sprite. The bartenders took care of her immediately and refused to take payment. They continued to monitor her, bringing her another glass as soon as she finished one, all while taking care of their many other patrons at the bar. They were kind, attentive, and made her feel truly cared for. Ben was our waiter, and he was also very attentive. He made sure we had everything we needed and checked on us often. The food was so delicious we tipped the kitchen staff twice (I love that this was offered as an option on the menu!). We all sampled bites from each other's orders, and I honestly couldn't tell you who had the best dish because there wasn't a bad bite at the table. My sister even struggled to decide whether to enjoy every bit of her steak there or save some to enjoy the next day. Despite how delicious everything was, we saved room for dessert, and I'm so glad we did. The crème brûlée and the chocolate chip cookie cheesecake were to die for! As we were finishing our meal, we realized we would need to-go boxes, but since we had taken an Uber into Ann Arbor and the theater doesn't allow outside food, we were worried the leftovers would go to waste. Matt, the manager, came to the rescue and said he would be happy to hold our food until after the show. We were so grateful! Ben carefully boxed everything up, and we were off to the show. I cannot commend this business enough on their high-class team. A restaurant is made or broken by the staff they employ, and every single person we encountered went above and beyond in their professionalism, courteousness, and genuine hospitality.

The steak was spot on medium. The sides were amazing! I was not able to eat all my food, I expected the sides to be smaller, not a complaint just a little fyi for someone else. My husband had the creamed spinach and said it was really good. As a special bonus they send a Happy Birthday dessert to the table. The whole experience was wonderful. The atmosphere was light, the dining room was very clean, not a single complaint! Thank you for the wonderful dinner and the special hospitality for our celebration.

I love that this locations offer a birthday deal whatever age you are turning is the percentage you get off your entree. Took my sister here for the first time for her birthday and she enjoyed the food. She had the stuffed chicken, which is my personal favorite. I had the filet mignon I had it medium well but it was well, I was kind of annoyed about that because when I order medium its so close to medium rare instead of medium and then medium well is well. I need that happy medium lol But overall great experience. The Caesar salad was good just too much Caesar dressing. The mashed potatoes are always creamy and delicious. The broccoli is okay no seasoning. Overall the staff is nice, the management is great. Any issues I had was corrected right away. The ambiance is beautiful. I will return!!!

I don't mind paying high price for extraordinary food, but that is not what we received. We ordered the calamari, which was still kind of white. the fried green tomatoes looked as though they were fried crispy, golden and brown, but the tomatoes were hard and the sauce that it comes with looked as though it was just painted on with a paintbrush, could've used some more sauce the Korean chicken was tough. So in my opinion, a great place to go just make sure you eat first.

They have two performances 7:00 PM & 8:30 PM. The interior decor is modern with the lounge vibe, kind of what you would expect for a Jazz Club. We were pleasantly greeted by the Hostess when we arrived, checked in and were taken to our table. Our server Julia, promptly greeted us and took our cocktail order. Great craft cocktails! They have a nice diverse menu with many options to choose from. We opted to go for small plates and had the Joey D's Killer Cornbread; sweet potato, with chipotle maple butter. It is served warm of course and it was very, very good. We also ordered the Fried Green Tomatoes, with pimento cheese. They were nicely battered and had great taste and flavor. The pimento cheese was a nice accompaniment. Lastly, we ordered the Apricot-Prosciutto Flatbread with sage-ricotta, burrata and arugula. The only thing we did not care for was the flatbread, it was not browned or crispy like most flatbreads dishes we have had, cooked in a pizza oven. Its consistency was doughy. All the other ingredients on it were good, just not the flatbread itself. The Jazz for the evening was performed by the Noah Hogan Quartet and they were fantastic. Would definitely go see them again. Overall a great experience. Would definitely recommend checking them out. There is a $25 per person cover charge. Reasonable for such a nice club.

    Wow. This place really raises the bar in every way possible…read more The drinks and desserts are the best I have had IN MY LIFE. Yes that's right. My husband said he had the nest hazy ipa of his life here too. A wild claim for foodies like us. They offer takeout in case you don't feel like crowding inside. AND they have the only pickle plate appetizer I have been able to find in the state of Michigan. Oh how i have missed these house pickles in different brines. The bartenders are not only incredibly talented and knowledgeable, they are friendly, cool, and so interesting! I think every single bartender I talked to over there had these attributes, and some even went above and beyond that too. I know, hard to believe, and the price tag matches. At least they are neither under or overrated? I come here for the bar atmosphere, the impeccable drinks and desserts and sometimes a snack. I prefer to go elsewhere for fresh oysters and dinner.

So glad we did…read more They were doing a summer happy hour on the back patio with drinks, food and a live DJ playing everything from quirky '70s French music to Japanese tracks. Super mellow and perfect for a summer night. The staff was young, friendly and attentive and our server was great. Food is mostly tapas and various types of paella, with a solid drink selection including sangria. We tried a little bit of this & that and enjoyed it all. Yes, it's a little pricey, but you feel like you're somewhere worthy of the higher price tag. Great date night joint with a chill vibe. And FYI, the patio is dog-friendly!

We went with sharable's this evening which included: Marinated Olives, castelvetrano, cuquillo, manzillia & gordal olives marinated in citrus, cinnamon and clove.
