We celebrated our anniversary at Texas de Brazil on Saturday, & it was such a great experience from beginning to end. We had reservations, grabbed a seat at the bar while we waited, & were pleasantly surprised when they seated us in a private dining room. It was such a thoughtful touch that made our anniversary feel even more special. A lot has changed since my last visit, especially the seating arrangement, but one thing that hasn't changed is the outstanding service. It was A1. The gauchos kept the meats coming nonstop... honestly, they were still stopping by even when our cards were flipped to red, & I wasn't mad at it one bit! The salad area has always been my favorite part, & it did not disappoint. Everything was fresh, well-stocked, & constantly being replenished despite how packed the restaurant was. The lamb was absolutely delicious... honestly, every cut of meat we tried was. My advice? Show up with an empty stomach because the food just keeps coming. Also, for first-time visitors, you can't take leftover food home, only dessert. One thing I appreciated was the manager stopping by our table to personally check on us, making sure everything was going well & asking if we needed anything. I always love when management is present & genuinely engaged with their guests. One helpful tip: you're welcome to bring your own wine (up to two bottles), but there is a corkage fee. Overall, we had an amazing anniversary dinner, & we'll definitely be back. read more

We went Saturday night for a pre Father's Day meal. We've had a reservation for 5 (3A's 2K's) for 6:00pm and arrived at 5:30pm. Approached the hostess area and informed them we were here early and all parties were there. She asked if it was 5 adults and I informed her no, 3 adults 2kids and we'd need a high chair. Hostess said okay be a couple minutes. No problem. I get a text through open table my reservation had been updated to 3. Hostess alerts us we're ready and they seat us at a small 4 top table. Inquire as to where a 5 top is and they tell us that since we have a high chair it doesn't count so their policy is to put us at a smaller table. Look around and everybody with kids has plenty room at their table except one couple where the child was seated on a lap. Inform them that we requested and reserved space for 5 not 4 and are told "this is what we do". Moment later the male manager comes by and seems to be agitated and asks how many are in the party and I tell him 5. He then says it'll be awhile and storms off. Shortly after they push two two-top tables together in the front hear the hostess stand and seat us. If you're not familiar with TDB it's the Brazilian style steakhouse where they bring the meat to your table on large skewers. They have a large help yourself salad bar with plenty of options and additions. Their lobster bisque is absolutely delicious. The meat was phenomenal as usual. The picahna/top sirloin was the best followed up by flank steak. They had filet mignon, spicy sirloin, sausage, Parmesan chicken and pork, and tri tip on the menu. All was good. I will say that I don't recommend sitting in the front as the gauchos don't seem to venture to the front as often as they do the middle to rear area and when they did they were generally less quality on the meat option. Management did come to the table a couple times and ask for request and we would get very fresh options then. It was pricey this go around at approximately $60 per adult and the 4 year old was $5. We had spring water because I didn't realize they charged you $8 per bottle. We also had a bottle of TDB Cab wine $52 and it was good. I prefer the TDB red blend though. I've always been a fan of TDB but this trip really aggravated me with the seating options then the smart aleck mouth on the hostess and both managers. Our waitress was nice but she wasn't as attentive as should be for a place of this price. She had multiple tables and we seemed to be bottom of the list. After 15 or so minutes we had to ask the manager for our wine and replacement bread took about 30 min before she got back to us. Our table was never busted as we sat, we had to remove the dirty plates and set on an adjacent table ourselves. I will say make a reservation before you go because they were super busy on a Saturday night. I'm giving 2 stars due to the experience. The food quality was really good on this trip though. read more

This place is nice, clean and bright. The roasted meats were a hit or miss In my book those included the chicken and turkey-they were so dry. My favorite grilled animal was the beef! The picahana, lamb and sausage were stellar they were so moist and flavorful especially when dipped in the house made chimichuri ! The salad bar was nice it had salmon, shrimp different cheese and cured meats on it. Our server was attentive and always came around to check on us. read more

Great lunch at Texas de Brazil! This location is spacious, clean, and perfect for both large parties and date night. We started with the soup and salad bar and everything was fresh, well-stocked, and delicious. Once the meats started coming, we tried about 10 different cuts ranging from steak to chicken to lamb. Everything was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. The sides of mashed potatoes and fried bananas complemented the meal nicely. I also had three of the blueberry martinis and they were so good. For $34 per person, it was also very affordable for the amount and quality of food you get. Overall, a great experience and I'll definitely be back! read more

It's a great idea, but the meat is really rare. I requested medium well and only one item was served medium-well. I don't understand why the tables can't come with a small fire bowl so people can cook their meat to preferred doneness. I know of other places that offer this. Not sure the offerings are worth the price tag. read more

The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming. Our server, "Big Drew" (Andrew), went above and beyond to make sure we had a great first-time experience; from thoughtful dish recommendations to perfectly pairing drinks with our food. He even made sure the staff rotated to our table often so we could enjoy the full experience. The restaurant itself was spacious, clean, and had a calm, inviting atmosphere. The salad bar and hot bar offered great variety and flavor, and the Bananas Foster pie dessert was absolutely amazing. While the meat selection wasn't as extensive as Fogo de Chão, the outstanding service, atmosphere, cleanliness, dessert, and especially Andrew's hospitality truly stood out. read more

Texas de Brazil - Bananas Foster Pie - Brazilian Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Amazing service in a stunning and beautiful atmosphere, Texas de Brazil did not disappoint. We were offered various cuts of steak, lamb, chicken and sausage along with unlimited access to the salad bar. The salad bar featured mixed greens, assorted cheeses, hot side items like lobster bisque and potatoes au gratin--as well as a variety of cold items like couscous, smoked salmon and pickled veggies. I actually enjoyed the salad bar the most because it allowed me to try a variety of Brazilian dishes. The meats were mostly tasty but a few of them were actually quite bitter and flavorless. This may just be a personal preference from someone who doesn't eat a lot of red meat but I think Texas de Brazil could stand to add a bit more flavor to the steaks. That said, I have to give praise to the staff for picking up on the fact that I don't eat pork. After a few rounds of rejecting the sausage and bacon-wrapped items, they started to bring only Kosher items to our table, even going so far as to place an order for chicken wings. Our server was also amazing, making sure we were comfortable and well-hydrated. Also the cheese breads brought to our table were so delicious and tasty and quite possibly my fave bite of the night: I had to stop myself from eating all of them! TDB also has a huge desert selection that I want to try upon my return.... All in all, even though the meats left much to be desired, the overall quality of the side dishes along with the general hospitality provided us with a good experience at Texas de Brazil. read more

After a couple visits, I must say I do enjoy this spot. Definitely a higher class dining establishment, but a great experience nonetheless. Watching the men go around the building with swords of different meats is pretty fascinating. I haven't had anything other than the meats that go around and the French fries, which are amazing. Never even been to the salad bar, and I don't know what's the cost of anything. Everyone working here is polite and patient, and it's a very busy place for sure. There's a lot of seating, but not a lot of room. They have a bar in the front with a television but I don't think any around the dining area. Some of the meats can be seasoned better, but I imagine with the demand of it in the restaurant, it's hard to do. I recommend it, especially if you're a big carnivore, as you can eat all the meat that they offer, as you want. There's like 14 different kinds of food they go around with on swords, including chicken, lamb, and beef in many different shapes and forms. There's also like 10 options for dessert as well read more

Matthew made our drinks and he was so friendly and personable and gave us a great time. We chilled at the bar which was cool and empty but he let us make TikTok and he was so great! Gregory also sang us a happy birthday song omg the service here is amazing! You have to come. They will take good care of you! read more

Texas de Brazil - Ginger crush - Brazilian Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Giving it a 3 Star based upon Service and Atmosphere, penalizing it 2 stars due to price and quality of meat. So this is not my first rodeo with the Brazilian Steakhouse concept it is a great place to meet with friends and have good time while eating and having drinks. That said, let's start with the bad... chicken dry, fillet was told to be medium rare but was in fact several times "rare/blue" inside and we piled a plate up at the table with this meat as no one dared try it. Management never came over to check how things were, our waiter was amazing and the meat servers on point as they kept coming, but I think on a larger party a manager should always make a presence. Oh and the price... WOW $58.99 and I will agree with another reviewer the meat lacked seasoning and flavor by the time I walked out with tip bill was $232.00 for two people. I really asked myself this time if I would ever return to one of these concepts again. The place is beautiful and so is the area around the mall with ample parking for a Sunday Night. Again the staff was all friendly and helpful.. just wondering if $232.00 could have been spent on a couple Cowboy Ribeyes? read more

One of my favorite places to eat. Great salad bar, great food, great service. Parking can be a bit challenging.

After a very frustrating and disappointing start to our day, our experience tonight completely turned things around. We celebrated my daughter's college graduation at De Brazil Steakhouse, and our attendant, Logan, made our evening truly special. From the moment we were seated, Logan was incredibly polite, pleasant, welcoming, and genuinely kind. His hospitality and positive attitude turned a stressful day into smiles, laughter, and a celebration we will never forget. He made our family feel cared for and ensured my daughter's graduation dinner felt special. One memorable highlight of the evening was celebrating with a special toast of Louis XIII for my daughter. Logan shared in the excitement and made the experience feel extra memorable for our family. It was clear he truly enjoys creating meaningful moments for his guests, and his enthusiasm made us smile right along with him. "The atmosphere was warm, elegant, and perfect for celebrating such a special occasion with family." In a world where great customer service can sometimes be hard to find, Logan reminded us what true hospitality looks like. Thank you for helping make my daughter's graduation celebration such a delight. Logan is truly an asset to your team! Highly recommend! read more

First off I have to give the waitress Bella her flowers! She was absolutely amazing. She made my experience a night of perfection. Extremely knowledgeable and met my every need!! I wasn't a huge fan of the side but that salad bar is top tier! My food was delicious. The atmosphere was exceptional. Bells was the star of the show!! I tipped her as well as my date!! She was just that AMAZING!! I will definitely be back and I'll be specifically requesting to be seated in her section! read more

We live a little over an hour away from Texas De Brazil but we still manage to eat here a few times a year. The food is always delicious but the service is very slow. The steaks and chicken are cooked well and served hot. The salad bar has some delicious options as well like the scalloped potatoes and lobster bisque. The restaurant always looks nice and clean. The cheese bread and cream potatoes they bring to the table are fantastic Unfortunately the service is really slow. The initial drinks and refills always take a very long time. Sometimes it can take a while to get the cheese bread and potatoes. The frequency you receive pieces of meat also varies drastically. Sometimes you may have to wait 15+ minutes before meat is brought to your table. It seems to come out in waves. There's no meat for a while, then a short stream of meat, then no meat. You have to load up when you can to have enough to ride out the "drought". I assume they cook a big batch, send that out, then start cooking again. If they could improve the service time, it would easily be 5 stars, but don't let that be a reason to pass on Texas De Brazil, it's still worth a visit read more

I have heard really good things about this place but for the price, the meat should have tasted a lot better. Maybe I came on a bad day but for a $150 birthday dinner, I was disappointed. Other than the salad bar and lobster bisque which was amazingly flavorful, the meats were all very bland. Some even had a gamey taste to it. The service was great and the restaurant was nice and beautiful. read more

Logan R. was the BEST server ever!!! His customer service was top-tier, and he truly made our experience amazing. He definitely deserves a raise or some kind of special recognition for going above and beyond! read more

While our individual server, Madison, did her best to take care of our needs. The quality of the food for the money was not even worth the trip. Besides the fact that the lamb chops were previously included at $49.99 there is a considerable up charge for them at $59.99. Additionally the service of the gauchos was very poor. After successfully getting 3 very small filet servings, another 45 minutes passed before our server was able to get the filet to our table. This used to be worth the trip to Baton Rouge and one of my favorite places to go but I wouldn't personally recommend it going forward. I could have eaten better food with better service at Texas Roadhouse for 1/3 as much, and unless Texas de Brazil seriously improves their service and price it's doubtful I'll go there again read more

Thank you Miss Olivia for your response. I was surprised by the server stating that you all didn't celebrate the customers birthday. I did look back and see father reviews where you all did celebrate the customer's birthday so maybe in 2025 you all stopped not for sure? FYI, my family, and I will still continue to patronize your business because after all you do have the most delicious lamb chops I've ever eaten. Thank you again. read more

Texas de Brazil - Brazilian Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

The only Brazillian Steakhouse in Baton Rouge. If you are reading this review you likely understand the concept of a Brazillian Steakhouse. I will spare you the instructions on what to do. Want the meat sweats? You can get them here. Want to plan a holiday party for about 30 people? You can do that too. My non-party visits here have all been pretty solid. The meat is plentiful and the salad bar is a site to behold. My party visit was easy to plan. I put down some money and paid the remainder the night of. They put us in a private room which was a blessing and a curse. A blessing because we had two tables all to ourselves and it felt like a Christmas Party should feel. A curse because it seemed like we did not get the level of meat service that we would have had we been in the main room. I suspect this is because many of our party would get the food before it would make it to the back. But, they did try their best to accommodate our requests. If we go here again I will seat the heavy meat eaters towards the front and the slackers towards the back. All that aside, the food was cooked to our liking and our server was great. If you want a private party with lots of options, I would recommend it. Note: Parking is limited. A few in our group didn't read the signs and got booted. I Ubered so I was good. read more

This was me and my wife's first time eating at this restaurant. After we got our water, our waitress pretty much left us to wait on a larger table, bit still supposed to be our waitress. I get she gets a larger tip from the large table but we still paid, we even tipped her more than recommended despite her poor service. After we were done with the salad we had no clue what we were to do, whether we get our own clean plate, or wait for her, which I am glad we didn't have to wait for that. One of the members of staff in a sport coat came, and spoke to us. This was a long time after our waitress left. I finally was told there was more than water or alcoholic beverages on the menu. We got our fries and mashed potatoes. Then after sitting there we received a sliver of flank steak. Then the waiting began. Empty plate no skewers really coming. Every once in awhile someone came our way. We ate the small portion and waited again. While this was going on, I watched the large table get skewer after skewer of meat. They just kept coming for them. Where we did not get much. I watched two tables of ten, sat after us, finish before us. I highly recommend not doing a date night here. Only go with a larger group. The food tasted good, I have no complaints about that. The service was absolutely terrible. After the waitress was done with the large table, she finally came to us again. Without telling her a word, she began talking about the big table and how she was sorry but she had the big table to work on. She sat there telling us to tell her we were happy and stuff. She knew she did not do her job and wanted us to feel like she was slaving at the big table. Do not have plans for after because if your waiter goes to a big table it will take forever to eat your meal. EDIT: After I wrote the review I looked at other reviews and observed someone talking about if you are seated in the front of the dining area you don't get much food. Well we were seated in the front of the dining area and like he said the meat was raw. Well only the flank steak was under done for us. When you are hungry and food is not coming around we took what we could get at that point. I also do not understand how a complaint is made about a problem and the issue remains. If someone makes a complaint about the food not making it to the front of the restaurant, why was the issue not addressed and resolved when the first complaint was made. That was a lot of money to be abandoned by your waiter. Food not making it to you until you are about ready to leave from the frustration of being scammed into this. I really just figured this is how they avoid the cost by serving you hardly anything and using cheap cuts of meat. Nothing cooked to the temperature you really requested. I always say I'd give a place a second chance for any place, but this first impression was horrible. read more

STRAIGHT FIRE,.. you can never go wrong at Texas de Brazil... The meat is cooked to perfection, but that salad bar cold cuts are where'd is at the the shrimp cocktail with jalapeños is HEAT for love #nocap read more

We went here for a company Christmas Party, 24 people in our group. Now I'm sure it's going to sound like a complaint when I say the service was slow and it took an hour to get our cocktails BUT they was slammed and only had 1 bartender. However they did forget his beer and then brought him a hot one Everything was so beautiful, from the decor to the food. We was in awe! That salad bar was off the hook and the lobster bisque was absolutely to die for. Once the meat started coming out it seemed like meat was everywhere. We all had such an amazing time and I legit witnessed in person a man at our table actually get the meat sweats, it was crazy. The garlic mashed potatoes wasn't good and we found them to be way to runny. And the cinnamon sugared plantains was the worst. But the rest was spectacular. I had my first lemon drop and it was served to me on the warm side so hard to judge. I'll have to try one elsewhere and get it chilled as they are suppose to be. read more

My family and I had an 8:00 p.m. reservation at Texas de Brazil and arrived early at 7:50 p.m., only to be told we would have to wait an additional hour. This is the second time this exact situation has happened at this restaurant, which clearly lacks professionalism and competent management. Back in February, on my birthday, my husband and I experienced the same issue, completely ruining what should have been a special evening. At this point, it is fair to ask: what is the purpose of making a reservation if you have no intention of honoring it? The staff was unapologetic and outright rude, casually responding with "oh well, we're overbooked" as if that excuses wasting people's time and disrespecting paying customers. Overbooking is not the customer's problem. If mistakes are made, the least staff can do is respond with humility and basic courtesy instead of dismissive attitudes that ruin an entire night. This restaurant is poorly managed and consistently fails at the most basic expectation of dining service. Save your time, your money, and your patience and go somewhere that actually values its customers, like Ruth's Chris or Fleming's. At restaurants that understand hospitality, reservations mean you arrive and are seated, which is the entire point of having a reservation. The management and staff here are clearly incapable of running a restaurant, and this experience confirms it. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Texas de Brazil and the food was very good. It's probably the only restaurant in Baton Rouge I hadn't visited. And it was obvious why I hadn't tried this place and that I won't be returning. I am 76 years old. Like most seniors I don't eat large portions of anything. They don't stop coming by your table and offering you delicious meats. I could never get my money's worth in this setting. If you're younger I believe this would be the place for you. Great service and so many variations of meat. If you like meat and plenty of it, this place is for you. The ambience is probably different from anything you have experienced. I enjoyed just being there with friends and relatives and watching them eat. When the dust settled between some seniors but mostly young adults I believe we got our money's worth and then some. read more

This based strictly on the key lime pie. OH MY GOSH. To die for. ABSOLUTELY NO NOTES.

I'm very very disappointed in Texas de Brazil as I thought they were a reputable restaurant that could be trusted. I placed an order directly on their website to have a meal delivered to a family member in assisted living on Christmas Day, but it was NEVER delivered. It appears that they hire toast to deliver their food orders made directly with Texas de Brazil, and replied that I would need to contact Toast, even though I didn't place the order with Toast. Toast agreed that the order was delivered to the wrong address, but stated since the order was directly through Texas de Brazil, I would need to contact them, and they would need to contact support at Toast to address the matter. When I returned the call and let Management know at Texas de Brazil what Toast said, they replied that I've already paid them and the order was made and they would not assist any more, that it's at my cost and no replacement meal would be provided - and that no Christmas meal order can now be placed, that it was too late. This is low down disrespectful and is not forgivable. Telling me that I'm at loss for the cost, not replacing the order on Christmas Day, and not contacting Toast since I didn't order through toast. read more

Firstly, we had 8 o'clock reservations and they sat us near the cash register which a table should not even be located in that area. It was my birthday, so my expectations were really high,. Our waitress was very unattended. She gave all of her time to parties of 8 to 10 people the location where we sat was horrible and we were confused because we made reservations. The food was very mad. It was sirloin and pork chops and Parmesan chicken on repeat.. The meat was very tough and just mediocre for that price point. We spent over $200 and it was the biggest regret ever I want years ago and it was nicer. The quality of the meat was better and the surface was 100% but on November 7 the only thing that I enjoy was a salad read more

This place is a far cry from what it used to be. Went occasionally for years but thats probably over now. Seems like they've had high turnover as some of the employees that were there for a long time every time we went were gone. The service was kind of just bad. Our waiter took forever doing pretty much anything and had to be cued to do the basics like refill water and bring the bread. Full price is closing in on 70 bucks now and thats horrible for a high end dining price. All the meat was overcooked. The only good piece of meat I had was the lamb sirloin, and when they brought it back around later it was burnt. Not charred or well done. A burnt crust that was crunchy and gross. The salad bar was pretty good, but even then some of the items were noticeably worse or chance. Such as the pineapple being paper thin. If you have good memories of this joint and you were thinking of coming back, would just keep the good memory and move on. read more

Came for my birthday dinner with a party of 13. I was able to make a reservation beforehand and we weren't seated until the whole party was there. I'm a w*ore for AYCE and meat so this place was my forte. The meat options are abundant and tasty. It's so much fun going to the side dish buffet and trying everything out. The cheese bread they give you on the table is DELICIOUS! I ended the night with a slice of key lime pie which I absolutely enjoyed. Now, I cannot in god conscious give this place a 5-star review because believe it or not, the service was not that great. Our waitress would go MIA and seemed confused whenever she was around. I also felt like that meat wasn't coming around in good time. There'd just be an overload and then nothing (maybe it's a strategy but it's not like we were the only people in there...) This place is expensive! and I really wish we would've had an overall better experience. read more

Service was excellent. Salad bar was super fresh & cold; but, all red meats were very fatty & had a hood bit of gristle, not seasoned, & so rare that a lot of blood was dripping out of it when the waiter carved the meat. This is the 3rd consecutive & will be the FINAL bad experience Ive had there!! The quality is NOWHERE NEAR what it was when they first opened! Total waste of over $200 for dinner for 2!!!!! read more

Me and the family came eat for Easter. Well when we got there our reservation got us our table to eat. We sat down and they put us in the middle of everyone that was passing chairs. So we tails them two times to move us to another chair. After there was the issue with the food. I eat well done and it took them forever to get me food. Services was bad too. I try to ask for a empty plate and didn't get one. I didn't like there services. read more

We hadn't been to this location in a few years and decided to visit again for my son's birthday. I really wanted to like it but we were overall disappointed. Service was painfully slow - 15+ minutes for water refills. I was surprised to be charged an additional $9 for my son's lamb 4 lamb chops, which seemed petty considering the cost of eating there. It used to be included and it is included at Fogo de Chao in New Orleans. It wasn't mentioned to us when we ordered. It was my son's birthday so I didn't make a stink about it when I saw it on the check. We will stick with Fogo in the future. We live in New Orleans but my son attends LSU. I hoped to be able to go here for special occasions but they went downhill. read more

My first experience with Texas De Brazil was during restaurant week in 2019. That was a total nightmare, they were very unprepared and my friend and I waited until midnight to be seated, several hours past closing time. Several hours of waiting it would have been nice if we were told that's how long it would take. Anywho thought I would give it another go. The staff was great, very attentive so they actually deserve 5 stars. Some of the meat was really good, and some not so good. The sirloin was the best, I got a bacon wrapped filet mignon that was pure grissle and it was inedible. It happens. I remember last time a couple meats were too salty, most of the seasoning was on par tonight. The exception was the braised beef ribs, there was no seasoning there. The salad bar shone through, the pineapple carpaccio, lobster bisque, and variety of cheese was delicious. Not worth almost $50 per person though I wouldn't even say worth the $20 they charge for the salad bar alone. The bananas are also delicious. The bathroom was filthy, the rolls of toilet paper are sitting on the trash can, not on the roll. You could tell the sink hadn't been cleaned in a very long time, the drain has tons of gunk built up on it. read more

My boyfriend and I came here for the first time and it was so good. It is on the pricier side but if you can eat a lot of meat then it is worth it. They had so many options between charcuterie and cheeses, vegetables, sides, and of course a ton of meat options. They had chicken, pork, steak, lamb, and picanha, and even bacon wrapped options too. The service was also great. I like my steak cooked medium and was given a pretty rare filet. When the waitress came by and I asked could just get it cooked more, it she said she would immediately send someone out with a new one. Wish I took some pics :( too distracted by all of the options! read more

The food was good, even though I wish they had had more selection of meats when we went. The waitress was very attentive and she did a great job. I wish I could remember her name. However, if you do not have a reservation be prepared to wait. They quoted us at an hour and forty five minutes. Even if you have a reservation, be prepared to wait. I made a reservation on OpenTablr after and there was room for an hour instead of an hour and fourth five minutes but we still waited at least 15 minutes. The manager did offer us a free dessert to make up for it but we were too full to take advantage of it. So make a reservation in advance of going. read more

I don't know where to start. I love their salad bar especially their crab bisque. But the all you can eat meats is TOP of the line. I love the variety. Ask for the garlic mash potatoes my kids loved those. It's a nice place to have a date night. Make sure to do reservations ahead of time. It's a wonderful location you can walk in Perkins Rowe after you eat. read more

Visited for a relative's birthday dinner this past weekend. She'd previously reserved a "private room" and paid over $100 for reservation fee. Our party arrived on time, neither one of the hostess could find the reservation and we waited over half an hour to be accommodated. We were surprised to find the "private room" had to be shared with other patrons but eager to celebrate, my relative did not make a fuss about this. There were at least 20 people in our party so we did the best to make everyone fit. The waitress seemed overwhelmed by our large number and proceeded to inform us that she would only be able to charge 5 cards UNLESS we were all patient with her. It was an odd comment to make, being that everyone in our party was in a pleasant mood, happy to celebrate our girl and no one had sat down long enough to make her feel rushed, let alone fuss over anything. I will disclose that I've been to this restaurant a few times before and while I find the food delicious, I don't get the hype. The food never settles well and I immediately start to feel ill, this occasion was no different. I felt sick almost immediately after my first plate and had to stop eating. I thought this was a personal issue until I noticed someone else in our party had to excuse themselves to the restroom and remained there for a while. While it's understandable that perhaps the food doesn't agree with every one; I found out later on that a few others in our party reported upset stomachs. The other issue was a $9 reservation fee that was slapped on each person tab. Lastly, the waitress seemed pressured to get us out of her hair and after picking up our cards (she was able to give everyone their individual tickets after all) grabbed the manager to inform my relative that her ticket had to exceed the hefty reservation fee, which it did! Maybe this isn't a big deal, it's Just not the way to go about this sort of thing, birthday girl could have been pulled aside. When the manager realized his maths were wrong, He walked off, do not recall hearing an apology. I do not plan to return. Recommend looking elsewhere for steak (Doe's Eat Place on government will always be king in BR). This is a chain restaurant, if I'm not mistaken, so I'll leave up to them to figure out how to fix their issues. read more

For anyone who has been to both, it's impossible to avoid comparing Texas de Brazil to their main competitor in the churrascaria game, Fogo de Chão. Both feature large salad bars with rotisserie-grilled meats served rodízio-style ― that is, with roving waiters who carve meats directly onto customers' plates. Many things (garlic mashed potatoes, pão de queijo, feijoada) are the same. However, some things seem exclusive to each place: Fogo de Chão has its grilled pineapple and fried polenta, while Texas de Brazil offers potatoes au gratin and lobster bisque. It's largely a toss-up, though I personally think Texas de Brazil's fantastic potatoes au gratin (why even bother with the mashed potatoes?) and slightly more flavorful feoijoada push their market table a notch above. But... who comes to churrascaria for the market table? And here's where Fogo de Chão wins: On my recent visit to Texas de Brazil, the meats were, to a fault, nearly all overcooked. We were told they aim for medium-rare, but what we got mostly landed on medium-well. Fogo de Chão gets their meats cooked better, which is why I'd give them the edge. Of course, Fogo de Chão is in New Orleans, but Texas de Brazil is here in Baton Rouge, so the latter will probably remain our only option for churrascaria when I visit. Service was excellent all around, and I wouldn't hesitate to visit again. I just hope I could get some better cooked meat next time. read more

Texas de Brazil was the first stop on me and my husband's date night tour. We sat at the bar, loved the ambiance. We were greeted promptly & politely. Our drinks were so good, it was the perfect start to our night. read more
