This was my first time trying Texas de Brazil. The all-you-can-eat (AYCE), fine dining Brazilian Steakhouse concept here is just like Fogo de Chao's, but with a livelier atmosphere and more festive dark red walls. We made a reservation in advance, though with the numerous dining options at Fair Oaks Mall, it wasn't necessary - the space is huge and plenty of seating was available. When we checked in, the hostess asked if we were celebrating any special occasions (we weren't, but I appreciate the restaurant's thoughtfulness and care). We were seated when our full party was present. Once we were escorted to our table, our server, Sonia, asked if it was our first time dining there. Since it was, she gave us an overview of the experience. Her explanation was thorough, but it can be a lot to take in if you're a first-timer. She explained the market table (buffet) offerings, which included lobster bisque as the soup of the day, and she told us which meats were included in our churrasco experience. At $64 per person for weekend lunch, it definitely is a pricey experience, but it's still comparable to Fogo's price point. We started with the market table which has salad offerings and other fresh sides, veggies, and charcuterie. Everything was neatly labeled. I enjoyed their crispy bacon, lox, fresh Parmesan, shrimp, and prosciutto. They even had goat cheese and fresh mozzarella (yum!). While there was a pineapple carpaccio offering at the market table, I do wish there was a bigger fresh fruit selection. There was also a hot section with the lobster bisque, rice, beans, potatoes, and sautéed mushrooms. The lobster bisque was a lovely luxury item but was quite salty. I also found a lot of their meats to be on the salty side... but it will get you to imbibe, and they have an impressive wine section on display. Similar to Fogo, each diner has a coaster at their table setting to signal to the waiters when you are ready for the meat (red means stop and green means go, naturally). At the first flip to green, waiters quickly approached the table with meat ready to be served. However, attentiveness waned as the restaurant got busier, and some cuts of meat never made it over to our corner table. Some waiters were better than others at noticing the green card and offering their meat. After declining the same cuts over and over, waiters were good about asking if we were looking for a specific cut and sending them over to your table. We indulged in the picanha, pork ribs, beef ribs, leg of lamb, filet mignon, and flank steak. They also have Brazilian sausage, chicken, and other flavored versions of the meats. I missed out on the lamb chops :(, but that's on me for not asking. Sonia did an excellent job of checking on the table, seeing if there was anything we needed, and refilling the drinks and complimentary Brazilian sides. We were brought their pao (cheesy bread), garlic mashed potatoes, French fries, and cinnamon sugar bananas. We enjoyed all of the sides. You do have to eat the pao when it is hot and fresh out of the oven (the bread gets harder and the cheese less melty as it cools). The standout was the bananas - the lightly sweet and crispy sugary exterior will keep you coming back for more (our table ate multiple). Dessert and drinks are not included in the AYCE price, but the bananas quelled my sweet tooth and were a satisfying way to end the meal. On a Sunday afternoon, we were able to enjoy a leisurely lunch and left stuffed. I do think I enjoyed the market table more than the salty meats, but Texas de Brazil is a worthy location to gather and enjoy the steakhouse fare. read more

Being the first Brazilian Steakhouse in the area that we've visited, we've gone to Texas de Brazil a few times. To be honest, it's it's not our favorite. The buffet is decent, the steak cuts are arlight - the cook and temperature of the meats is inconsistent. The biggest thing I have is that they always seem to skip us with the good cuts like lamb chops. The drinks are really good and the staff is very friendly. Finally, I don't like the fact that the manager always has to come when we use gift cards that we bought from Costco or were gifted to us. read more

Eating almost anywhere on Valentine's Day is expected to be absolutely insane. That is to be expected. This place was packed to the gills and exceedingly loud. When we were being brought to our seats, I noticed, toward the front of the restaurant, there were plenty of open tables but we were led all the way to the back. I had a funny feeling we wouldn't be greeted with random options of meat. The choices at the Salad Bar were less than usual. Made reservations 6 weeks in advance and we were brought all the way to the absolute back end of the restaurant. We very rarely saw a gaucho and our server had to ask us a few times what we were looking for to get a gaucho to come to the back of the restaurant. Even after all of that, the choices offered to us were very slim. the first thing I asked for was leg of lamb. By the time they got to us with the leg of lamb, it was nearly picked to the bone. Had to ask for a filet mignon and bacon wrapped filet. The bacon-wrapped filet was not a good cut of meat, had a lot of gristle in it, very hard to chew. The best two types of meat we had were the spicy sirloin and the flank steak. The flank steak nearly melted in my mouth. The filet mignon servings didn't taste like filet mignon at all. Most common filet mignon servings are 6-8 oz of meat and the servings provided to us were barely 2 oz in size and well overcooked. Not exactly sure what happened but they were not up to par that night. The end bill being close to $200 for two people (no drinks, two desserts) was a bit much. May still visit here on certain special occasions but it will not be a regular occasion. Still better than the experience we had at Fogo de Chao in National Harbor but the service was lacking pretty badly. This was a miss on their usual approach to satisfying their patrons. Again, the place was packed but putting people who made reservations 6 weeks early all the way at the back of the restaurant, literally within 5 steps of the back door, felt like a slap in the face to someone who wants to enjoy the full experience. The Manager never visited our table to check with us to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. I miss the Texas de Brazil that was in Washington, DC. They definitely showed everyone that they were the best in the area until the Pandemic. read more

Our first time visiting Texas de Brazil (son and mom celebrating birthdays) and I'm happy to say it was better than I expected. The decor was so inviting and relaxing. Laury our server was on top of ensuring we knew what to expect as well as informing us to let her know if we had any special requests. She offered a pitcher of lemonade instead of single servings which was needed since we wanted to consume as much of this wonderful dinner feast as possible. The buffet style salad area was very different than your average salad bar; so many great selections you are sure to fill your plate. The huge variety of meats were cooked to perfection; as you like it, and the side dishes were perfect, everything seasoned so well. When we finished our meals, Laury brought out the sample selections of desserts, How I wished we could but we ate so much and truly enjoyed it all. We will certainly be back to Texas de Brazil and I'll try not to attempt to consume Every Meat (lol). Thank you Texas de Brazil for such wonderful service, food and a very memorable evening. read more

Dare I say...that it might be better than Fogo de Chao?! Their Pão de queijo (cheese bread) is insane but in the best way possible. You can literally pop them like skittles. The salad bar is stacked with everything from salads to fruit to snacks to appetizers to soup and their cuts of meat get better as the night goes on. Every time I think it's my favorite, here comes another skewer to change my mind. This place is a carnivores dream, but vegetarians can enjoy the salad bar for a cheaper price. Even the dessert is perfect. The espresso is the best final touch and service is superb. Our waitress was lovely and had some great wine suggestions. The dining area is spacious, clean, and visually appealing. The bathrooms looked good too, hehe. This establishment is perfect for anyone desiring copious amounts of meat in a pretty atmosphere. Parking is plentiful and the drive is worth it if you're coming from further away. Enjoy!! read more

Coming to this restaurant on a Saturday night, I knew it was going to be busy...and it was. However, I was seated in 5 minutes. The waiter was very knowledgeable and made few suggestions that made our dinner better. The salad buffet was ok. I didn't come here to eat salad lol. I only grabbed beets, Pickle onions, and pickle peppers from the buffet. Now the star of the night was the steak. My favorite steak was the picanha. It was tender and marinated just right. Overall was a pleasant dining experience worth a 5 stars review. read more

Mixed feelings about this place, but I'd say my first time was a good experience. The meat gauchos come in really fast... like twice as fast as Fogo or Chima. At first I really enjoyed it, but then it became a bit too much. I couldn't really slow down and enjoy what I was eating. I did not know what cut I liked more because they all mixed together due to their speed. I got full within 15 minutes it was ridiculous haha the meat was juicy though! The disappointment for me which knocked down a star was the Picanha. That's my favorite cut and it was chewy. Chima and Fogo make it very charred on the outside and tender on the inside... Texas paled in comparison. Overall score: 3.5 stars read more

Went here for a work party. SO GOOD! The food keeps coming. The plantains are on point, all of the sides that come to the table was just unreal. The salad bar is so fresh, I wouldn't recommend the prosciutto though there were bones in it. I had to spit it out. Highly recommend you don't go nuts over the salad bar before the meat starts coming to the table. I was so full I couldn't try the filet mignon at the end . They also cook medium rare TO PERFECTION Great place for a date night. read more

Ever since I moved away from home, I've been going to Texas de Brazil for my Thanksgiving Day meal. It's become my tradition and I'm so happy for it! The food and service are among the best I've ever experienced at any restaurant. I always feel welcomed and appreciated while I'm there. They also serve some of the best, tender, juicy turkey breast I've ever had! Their Thanksgiving day items are delicious and I always make sure I get at least 1 plate of the traditional fixings but I come for the meats! The leg of lamb with some creamy horseradish sauce is my favorite combo! The shrimp at the salad bar is really good too! Obviously, the picanha is amazing and I usually get multiple servings. And the flank steak dipped in the chimichurri sauce! Everything is sooo sooo good! The restaurant is a dark red color with heavy decor elements. Lots of dark wood accessories that give off a royalty feeling. I feel like a millionaire when I'm there! It's one of the least expensive but best overall quality Brazilian steakhouses around! read more

This is one of my favorite Brazilian steakhouses. They serve a variety of different meats ranging from varying cuts of steak, lamb, chicken and pork. They also have a huge salad bar that includes lots of veggies and sides to accompany the meat. Compared to other Brazilian steakhouses, I think the quality here is pretty good and the meat is always seasoned well. My favorite cuts were the Picana (Brazilian marinated steak), the pork ribs and the filet. A great steakhouse with lots of options! read more

First, I apologize for not taking pictures of any of the meats, but they were goood, and I didn't want to stop to take pictures! This spot is much more grand than I expected from the outside, as I pass it going to fair oaks mall. The interior is very nice, and although it's advertised to dress business casual, many guests wore jeans and tshirts. I went for lunch, and I was stuffed for the whole day! They have a huge selection of salads and veggies, as well as charcuterie boards and soups! It's a huge buffet that goes well with the meats. I'd recommend getting their chilled string beans to go with the meats! For first timers, they have cards with green (please serve me) and red (don't serve me) cards, to let the waiters know that you want a cut of their meats. There are tongs you use to grab the slices. I liked the ribeye the best, that the waiter who was bringing it around kept coming back to me! It was wonderful! Overall, a great experience. It was definitely on the pricier end, but a nice time for sure! read more

Went to this location for Mother's Day. Had a reservation, but it was not overly crowded. It was our first time there. We have been to Fogo a bunch of times, and definitely prefer Fogo. The TdB salad bar was ok. Nothing there that I loved. It was pretty basic. The cheeses had little flavor, the meats had a weird texture. My favorite thing at the salad bar were the beets. The gauchos that served the meats were all nice, and came around often. The lamb chops were overcooked and dry. The leg of lamb was better. Most of the meats were too salty IMO. Never saw the filet mignon. My favorite hot dish was the fried bananas. The other sides were just ok. The drinks were overpriced and not good. The pina colada ($17) had an artificial taste. Finally, I can't believe the $62pp dinner did not include dessert. They come around and offer dessert to you, and mumble that it's ala carte. ($11-13 a slice) I will skip Texas de Brazil next time, and stick with Fogo de Chao. read more

Date of visit- Saturday, March 8, 2025 - Tried the salad bar only, (did not have any meat) and it was delicious. So much to choose from, everything was presented well. Malcom was our server and did an excellent job. We have dined here several times and Malcom was the best server we've had. Stayed in touch with us during our meal from the moment he brought us water, all the way through to dessert. Ambiance was nice as always, we were seated adjacent to the salad bar so that worked out for me. Overall a great dining experience! read more

I visited Texas de Brazil on January 30 for my birthday with a group of 11 adults, and unfortunately it turned into one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. From the beginning, the meat service was extremely slow. Long periods passed with no service, and when meat finally arrived it was only enough for about 5 people, leaving the rest of the table waiting and forced to eat from the salad bar. This was embarrassing since I invited my family to celebrate my birthday. When we asked multiple times for meat, it eventually arrived raw/undercooked despite clearly requesting medium-well and well-done. One incident was especially upsetting: I received meat that was supposed to be well-done but it was still bleeding, and the blood spilled over my rice, completely ruining my appetite. Toward the end, the check was brought without being requested while my family was still eating, which made us feel rushed. After payment, the manager insisted I choose a suggested tip (18% or 20%), and both the manager and the server stood nearby repeatedly pressuring us to take the check folder and leave. There was no acknowledgment of my birthday, no courtesy gesture, and no effort to make the occasion special or even acceptable. read more

Carnivores heaven!!!!! Lots of meats to choose from and the servers come by so frequently. Good quality meat! read more

We visited this restaurant for the Father's Day celebration. The food was of good quality, a bit salty but good for meat lovers. The service could be significantly improved. The same meat kept coming over, which limited the variety. It was difficult to get your water refilled, even though it was a busy day. The environment was pleasant, but overall, I found it challenging to return. read more

They were slow on the water. Good thing I had my own. They said two discounts could not be applied to one bill. They considered a gift card, which should be treated as legal tender, as a discount instead of a form of payment. So we were not able to pay for the meal with the aforementioned gift card that we bought ahead of our visit, planned to use, and intended to use A shady business practice that is not done at any other churrascaria. read more

We had a reservation on a busy Saturday. They seated us right away. With all the available tables I was surprised that they squeezed our group of 8 into a tiny table. We saw our server once when she tried to upsell us tons of cocktails then we never saw her. In fact, I had asked for water refill twice and she never brought it. I had to ask another person who brought a manger over. Really? Is it because water was not an upsell. Food was good. But they rarely came over with the filet. They don't serve rib eye but they offer tons of different kinds of sirloin. No seafood is served and I rarely saw chicken. read more

Came here because we had a gift card to use. I had come here many years ago and wasn't crazy about it initially as the food seems covered in salt. Decided to try this place again since we had a gift card to use. The service was amazing but again the food seemed overly salty. I understand this type of cooking/meat is to salt it and grill over an open flame but even some of the dishes like the scalloped potatoes seemed overly salty. The salad bar is decent if you like Mediterranean type of food. I'd only come back if it was heavily discounted. Even after the gift card, I still think it was just OK. The best part was actually the freshly made mango lemonade. read more

My wife and I have been to an assortment of Brazilian steak places across the country and she suggested this one to my surprise. With the unlimited meat, I was definitely happy to enjoy such delicious and tender cuts. The salad bar didn't wow me to keep visiting. I do like a good salad and sides but this one seemed to simply check the block for me. They had a platter of desserts near it but they were for an additional charge. I was a little taken back that I had my marker on red yet servers continued to come ask us if we wanted meat which made it challenging to talk and enjoy while also being interrupted. The restaurant is fresh looking and interesting to look at, and what seemed like a slow evening quickly became a busy restaurant for a decent price per person. We enjoyed our visit but weren't overwhelmed by the moment and may seek other options before returning. The drinks are costly and overrated. We each tried their signature drink and it was simply juice with ice. It was good but definitely not worth the price. I would choose a soda next time. read more

Out of Fogo and Chima, I rank this as #2 just because it's in between. Although the others presents themselves on the high-end scale, I find this establishment almost on the same scale as Fogo, just more options, including desserts. They were very accommodating to families and large parties. Below are my breakdowns, Ambiance: Soft lighting, no natural light that shines through, and dark modern fixtures compare to fogo. The tables are close together but enough to go through without bumping to people. Spacious for large and small parties. Food: "How do you like your meat,". is a thing here. Thank you! Variety of meats from flank to sausages and even has grilled pineapple. The desserts are amazing and large portion. I've tried basically all of them because I was with a party and decided to try everything. Service: Everyone was attentative! When our server got busy, his colleagues comes in to check in. We tried almost every meat and desserts! Table reservations can be made ahead of time. Typically, it's a small wait time. There are few seats in the reception area while you wait but it is a large open floor. Price: $65+ Attire: business casual to semi-formal from the looks of guests. Personally, I prefer to dress business-casual such as a sundress or fashionably dressed. Parking: open lot! Overall, I would dine here again and this time take my husband. If I were to choose, this is a spot for the hubs, boyfriend, or Dads! read more

I'm a big Brazilian steak house fan....but my gosh they couldn't get it right. The service was slow the food was too expensive. the restaurant was casual to nice. The biggest issue was that my wife who asked for well done would get medium and rare, I asked for rare and always got medium. Other tables got rare and other options. read more

Im leaving this place and never coming back, I was having my first bite of meat when I saw a freaking mice running around, the staff took care of it but I just couldn't get it out of mi head, another couple just left since they just arrived, I was a big fan of this place but A MICE!!! Come on?? My wife and I decided to just leave and they tried to charge us as we had had the entire course menu and Im not having that. Take care of your business like it's your family GD! read more

I've been to one other Texas de Brazil in Nashville and our dinner was terrible, so I was a bit apprehensive when visiting this one. Thank goodness it surpassed all expectations. The salad bar is adequate. I have been to others that have more selection, but this does have lots to choose from. I don't know if I would want to solely do the salad bar here like I can do at others, but it is a great addition to the meats. The goat cheese was absolutely to die for and the chimmicurri sauce was spectacular. There were lots of cheeses, vegetables, soups, potatoes, and more to choose from. The table also has mashed potatoes, fries, fried banana, and cheese rolls. The meats came out medium rare as requested and the couple times they came by telling us medium or another temperature, we politely declined. It was nice to have the offer though. The only thing I wish this place (chain) has is the pineapple on the skewers. Those are always the most delicious and none have had them. But, the meats were amazing and they even had jalapeno poppers. What a fun surprise. The service was amazing. On top of it with food and drink. Never lagged and we never waited long for more meat. It was not very busy for a Monday night either, especially at 7pm. I'd gladly come back! read more

first time at Texas De Brazil and I had a good experience. It's very similar to fogo de chao. Most of the meats were good. They go around with sirloin a lot. I did have to personally request the lamb and filet mignon. Heads up, they charge $8 for spring water, they bring it in a glass bottle. The salad bar had many options and seemed to be constantly restocked which I liked. Tables were close together. Would I come back? Yes, I love steak. Could some things be changed for the experience to be better/more enjoyable? Yes, absolutely. read more

Texas De Brazil is okay now. It used to be much better years ago but now the food is mediocre. The potatoes had run out and I had to tell two different workers before it was refilled. It wasn't too busy of a night so keeping up the items should be something that they're on top of. read more

The waitress set us down End explain a little bit the salad bar, but not very much. Even knowing that we were new to the place, he didn't look happy, didn't fail that hype vibe, some of the meat was not very hot, different waitressSlice the mint all the way down and gave me a big chunk, in some just a little bit off the top, my family visit the one in short pump and said they attended them better. The pieces are beat were bigger and hotter, the little glass of drink doesn't cost $12.50., for a $185 for 3 people, I'd rather go to Texas. Roadhouse and order a Dallas filet, which is their philet. Mignon, what do other complementaries? And we'll be even full and better off., if the waitress would have been more happy and to see asked recommending this and that maybe he would've got thirty three dollars, which was the eighteen percent instead, he got twenty two, which is ten percent, when you charge that much money in a place that needs to be the best place ever. The best waitress, the best service, the best food you need to make people feel special. That they are special, even though you think otherwise, i have visit many restaurants. Many places different area demographics, and you guys are just lucky, because you lit, you are situated in an area where there's a lot of corporate. So, you know, there's there's a Lotta people with resources, and so they really don't care whether The the services, a high expectation or low expectation. You're still gonna get your money either way?. And of course, you're going to say we're sorry, try us again or which side of you didn't have this in that. Tell me, sorry, just make sure all your employees performing the way that you want them to perform. There is consistent consistency.

Out of all the chain Brazilian steakhouses this is my least favorite. Sometimes people say you get what you pay for and sometimes it's true. Out of all the chain restaurants this is the least expensive. Don't get me wrong, I would definitely go if asked. it's still a satisfying meal but the meat isn't as good and the salad bar isn't as expansive. The staff however are marvelous and welcoming.
