It was Father's Day and I abhor all you can eat places, generally speaking... but the hubby has been wanting to try this place for a while so.... I surprised him by ubering him a churrasco plate! I opted for the Brazilian sausage a $3.49 upcharge for leg of lamb, garlic mash, cucumber salad and Brazilian cheese bread was included along with a side of chimichurri. Total $24.95 plus delivery and tip around $34. It was love at first bite! However, the more bites he had the more overpowering the spices became. We stopped using the chimichurri early on due to the garlic heavy imbalance in every item of food (excluding the cucumber salad). It was good, but definitely garlic and sodium heavy. The plate was enough for him and unfortunately he complained of a terrible stomachache a couple of hours later. Luckily, I made a homemade briyani for dinner and that helped push it all down and he felt much better after some home cooking! Happy Father's Day, hope y'all were spoiled too! read more

Texas de Brazil - Uber eats Churrasco Plate- $25 - leg of lamb, sausage, mash, Cucumber salad and bread. - Brazilian Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

My husband and I came here on a whim to have a date night. We are so glad we did, since it's been a minute we have been to a Brazilian steak house. At the salad bar, the pineapple carpaccio (thinly sliced pineapple with sugar) was a standout! Trust me. You want to get this and eat your meat with it. Our favorite meats was the picanha, filet wrapped in bacon, lamb, and the tritip. Only one meat was a disappointment which was the spicy sirloin. It was overcooked and ineditable. But no problem, plenty to chose from! Thank you Gabi for your wonderful service! Gabi helped us flag a waiter down for our much anticipated picanha. She was very helpful and attentive. We feel very lucky and blessed to eat here tonight! And extra blessed to be seated near the kitchen, so we could see when all the delicious meats came out! read more

Our family couldn't wait to check out Texas de Brazil! We made reservations at the first time slot for dinner on a Friday. The restaurant looks very upscale and the light fixtures and decor are gorgeous. Shortly after being seated our server Nathan stopped by to explain how things worked and if we wanted sparkling, still, or tap water. We did one sparking and one still, which was the Saratoga brand in glass bottles. We could've done tap, but we were already splurging, so why not get the sparkling and still waters. We then headed to the large buffet of hot and cold food options. I was super impressed with the different olive oils, salads, and hot choices. My favorites were the black beans, au gratin potatoes, the quinoa salad that had cranberries in it, and the big wheel of Parmesan cheese. When we got back to the table there were dishes of Brazilian cheese bread, mashed potatoes, French fries, and sweet fried plantains. We ate three dishes of the Brazilian cheese bread. It is just SO good. We love the texture of the bread. It's almost like mochi? I don't know how else to explain it. It's crispy, chewy, and a nice cheesy flavor. The fries were also a hit. They are battered and very crispy. The mashed potatoes were also very good. We all tried the plantains as well. They were very good. Quickly the meat started to arrive. There are so many options. Sometimes it can feel overwhelming by how quickly people come by back to back. Sometimes you don't see someone with meat for a little while. I loved the filet mignon. The spicy sirloin was also good and did have a nice spice to it. I also tried the lamb and picanha (cut of beef). I do not eat pork, so I didn't try any of those options or the sausage. Everyone else at the table raved about the sausage. We were all beyond stuffed, but wanted to try some of the desserts. Our family of four had the carrot cake and Brazilian cheesecake. Our two friends shared a chocolate cake. The desserts were phenomenal and so worth feeling miserably full. Very flavorful, moist, and rich. Our server Nathan was a gem. He was so kind and funny. He was always making sure our group was doing okay. There was also another gentleman that helped with getting our table more fries and getting more filet mignon. Service was amazing and so was the food. The atmosphere was beautiful. We will be back! read more

The atmosphere is very vibrant with an upscale feel. The tables are packed in very tightly. It does have a fun feeling to it all. They started by asking if I wanted sparkling or spring water. I chose spring water and got charged $8, so beware. The meal cost $57 for dinner. The sides are always fabulous. This was no different, great mashed potatoes and the fried bananas are outstanding. I could eat those every day. The meats were all excellent, very well cooked and tender. Last year I was at the Detroit location and the meats in Grand Rapids were much better. The service was good, but also my only real complaint is everyone needs to learn to speak up. I had a hard time hearing the up front counter person, then the waitress and the waiter she was training were both way too quiet to hear what they were saying. If I hadn't been to a couple of Brazilian restaurants I would have been very confused. That being said I'm not taking any points for that or the over priced water. Overall a 5 star review. Would I return? Absolutely. This isn't really a place you go every weekend, it's more a special occasion. I'm glad to have a new special place to go to. I will be back a couple times a year I'm sure. read more

My experience with this establishment was not good. The market place table had very few options. My son and daughter are bariatric patients and was previously told they only had to pay the lower price but the manager would not honor it. They charged me the full $59 for a child that didn't eat anything and a 72 year old that only had the market table. The restaurant was very loud and crowded. Not worth the money so will not be going back. I will make the drive to Fogo De Chao. This restaurant could take lessons from them. read more

My husband was so excited this opened and I said I would only go if they had a salad bar only option, and they do! Friday night after their first week open: * We did not make a reservation * Checked in at the host stand at 6:20, said it was a 30-45 min wait for 2, received a text after 32 minutes saying our table was ready Food: * All you can eat for $50+ per person and salad bar only option for $34 per person; rates are posted on the host stand. That's it for the food menu. * Red meat, chicken, and shrimp brought around to tables on skewers. Red meat is medium rare and has a slight salt rub on the outside. My husband loved the prime rib and garlic Parmesan chicken. * Salad bar has smoked salmon, prosciutto, salami, fresh mozzarella, various salads and sides including lobster bisque and potatoes au gratin - one plate and I was full! * Sides for each table: delicious mashed potatoes, sweetened plantains, French fries, and Brazilian cheese filled bread rolls. You cannot take these home. Drinks & Dessert * Lots of beverage options, limited mocktails. I loved the limeade with mango - it wasn't too sweet or too tart and very reasonably priced * Surprised the dessert tray was all plastic / non-edible models! It makes sense that you want to reduce food waste. We got the carrot cake to go. It wasn't as encrusted with nuts as expected, but it was DELICIOUS! we ate every bite * Bar has a few seats to get drinks while you're waiting. Was told it's not full service at the bar, yet saw someone getting meat brought to them there. Service: * Servers were fantastic and clearly know the steps of service. I was self-conscious about getting an let down look from the server if I ordered only the salad bar. She was a pro and I enjoyed my experience! * It was opening week and clearly there were corporate trainers. Anticipate staffs as also brought from other locations to help. I hope the local staff is as good. * Didn't feel rushed at all. * The only disappointment was that it took a long time from when we ordered the carrot cake to-go to when we got it. It also came on a plate so we had to wait longer to get it packaged back up. Ambiance: * Nice enough to get dressed up for a nice dinner out, yet you can also decide to wear a tshirt and shorts. You do you. I would say a little nicer than The Cheesecake Factory. * Lots of tables, really close together. Make sure to tell them if you need more space for assisted waking devices. read more

Texas de Brazil - Barbecued Pork Ribs Couscous Salad Churrasco Plate Chicken Breast Wrapped in Bacon - Brazilian Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

We had a great experience at the newly opened Texas de Brazil, located at Woodland Mall on 28th Street. Parking was easy since it's part of the mall. Talk about service! Our server, Benjamin, was exceptionally friendly and kind to our children. He thoughtfully brought our toddler a plastic cup of water and removed the glass one right away! The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, and for being recently opened, it was organized. The salad area was clean, fresh, and fully stocked, and the endless variety of meats just kept coming! Each team member went out of their way to interact with our kids directly, offering suggestions and making them feel included. Benjamin made sure we received the cuts and meat temperatures we preferred, and his attention to detail made our evening even more enjoyable. Texas de Brazil offers all-you-can-eat dining starting at $56.99 for the full experience (salad + meats), or $33.99 for just the salad area. Kids aged 6-12 eat for half the dinner price, and children 3-5 are just $5. Although a pricier dinning evening we did have a great experience here! We ended our dinner with their trio of desserts that were conveniently only $2.70 each the day we went! We will definitely be back! Hats off to Benjamin and the entire Texas de Brazil team for a fantastic experience. read more

We came for our anniversary and had a reservation. We were seated at the right time and my husband ordered a drink. You get some appetizers (the bread is SO good) and access to the salad bar. We barely touched the appetizers since we wanted to save room for the meats. I do wish they asked if we wanted the appetizers, because we would've said no and then had less food waste since we couldn't take it home. My husband's drink took an exceptionally long time to come (even the waitress said she didn't know why it took forever). I think bigger groups got passed by with meats more often than our table of two did (my husband went with a group beforehand and acknowledged it was very different both times, definitely better with a group). I do like that they had a green and red little coaster you could flip if you wanted them to stop by (ours was green basically the entire time). The food itself was good. It was an experience and pricier. Wouldn't go back for just two people but maybe with a group. read more

Looking for a midweek dinner option? Try the new steakhouse restaurant located in the Woodland Mall, Texas De Brazil. As we entered, we found the atmosphere to be pleasing. It was dark, but the classy chandeliers gave it a sense of a pleasant place to eat for special or ordinary occasions. The shocker. They only offer two choices: all-you-can-eat meat, condiments, and a salad bar, for $56.99. If you want free rein on the salad bar, the cost is $ 33.99. Dessert is an extra cost. Service was consistent. There are many types of servers: the central server, and those who bring an array of meats on a skewer. The meat is fresh, hot, and cut off the skewer at the table. My favorite was the filet minion. They also had flank and sirloin steaks. Pork and chicken options were also available. I loved the variety, color, and tasty choices on the endless salad bar. They had a cornucopia of salads, meats, cheeses, and more. I tried to limit my salad choices until I ate some meat. I topped it off with more salad bar goodies at the end. The prices were my biggest complaint, and the lack of entrée and special dishes. Overall, it was an enjoyable evening, and we left full. read more

I really want to love this place. The salad/veggie/soup bar is great. The "meat on a stick"service has been awesome. Wait staff have been wonderful. Two issues i have are as follows: 1. Side dishes (mashed potatoes, fries, bananas, etc) come out so quickly, they become cold by the time you finish salad. Unless you want to eat everything at the same time, i advise telling staff to hold on serving side dishes until you finish your salad bar. I can hardly complain about such quick service! 2. The hostess/reception area is manned by employees who've mastered the art of the gen z stare. Look that up if you don't know what i mean. The vibe was bad enough i asked on my way out if i had done something to make her angry. Deep sigh. That said, the experience is so fun and worth trying! read more

We made a reservation for their Easter event. I do not feel like what they advertised as the Easter buffet menu was not accurate. The meat was delicious as expected. I 100% felt like desserts shouldn't be extra because you already pay so much for the meal it should be included. read more

Reservation for our 35th Anniversary. The atmosphere seemed nice and we were soon seated. The salad bar and hot food choices were very great. We were at table for two along the window looking into the mall, kinda in the corner near the bathroom. A large group of people next to us were in the later stages of their dinner. For what ever reason, we had our "green coaster" showing for over 90 minutes and received very little meat all night, (even when our waitress said they would send the meat servers over). For the most part, the meat we had was very chewy, even the Filet Mignon, which was barely 2 inches in diameter. I never did get any prime rib. It was worth going once for the experience, but will not do it again for that price. read more

Ouch. Night and day experience from our last visit. We were there New Year's Eve. All I will say is it was bad, and it was also embarrassing because we brought guests based on the previous experience, and we told them they were going to love it. Ouch. read more

I've been to Texas De Brazils all over the county. Came in tonight for a birthday dinner with the family. And that is by far the worst service I've experienced. Food was amazing, and we were very grateful for the other server for bringing us our sides and the drink our server forgot about for over 20 minutes. Dinner rush was understandable, but service was nothing to write home about at all. I'd choose the Ann Arbor location over GR every time. read more

Been to other locations plenty, and I just love them. I love the concept. I love the flavors. I love the assortment. And I loooooove that wonderfully refreshing Brazilian sipper known as the caipirinha. GR's location is inside Woodland Mall, and it works just fine. Layout amply lets you get back and forth for the salad and sides, and the tables leave plenty of room for the servers to stop by with their ginormous spits of delectable, juicy meats. Try everything and choose your favorites. Still hungry? Leave your token on green. Need time to enjoy and digest? Flip it to red. It's all you can eat. All the time. Every day. And don't pass up those carmelized bananas. Those sweet little babies will make your day. It's a splurge, but easy to see the value any time you can tank up on filet mignon! read more

My husband and I had a great dinner tonight. The soup and salad bar has a great selection. The never-ending supply of steak especially the filet mignon with bacon is awesome. The red wine is smooth to the last drop. The ambiance is romantic. The service from Alexis is exceptional. We enjoyed dinner at Texas De Brazil in Detroit and in Grand Rapids! We will be back... read more

My husband and I tried Texas de Brazil for the first time tonight, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish! We were seated quickly (with a reservation), and our waiter, Allan V, greeted us right away. He explained how everything worked, took our drink order, and recommended the strawberry Brazilian lemonade pitcher - which was absolutely delicious! Super fresh and perfectly balanced. I really appreciated that they didn't leave the pitcher on the table; instead, Allan and his team stayed on top of refills so we never had to ask, and it kept the table clear (which you'll need for all the food!). The restaurant itself is spotless and thoughtfully designed. The cold bar is huge, offering salads, cheeses, meats, vegetables, sauces, and more. The hot bar is equally impressive with their famous lobster bisque, rice, Brazilian beans, mushrooms, potatoes au gratin, and shrimp. And then there's the meat, an endless selection! The moment you flip your card, servers are ready with perfectly cooked options. We enjoyed everything, but our favorites were the filet mignon, beef ribs, and Brazilian sausage. Alongside the meats, you're also served sides like French fries, mashed potatoes, and cinnamon-sugar plantains. My husband loved the plantains so much he had four rounds! What really stood out, though, was the service. Allan and the entire staff made the evening feel special; attentive without ever being intrusive. At $57 per person, it is on the pricier side, but the quality of the food and the outstanding service make it 100% worth it. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit! read more

Food was good but had to ask for them to start serving meat instead of them asking us. Food was good and service was otherwise acceptable.

Our server, Kevin was amazing! We had never been there before and he was so friendly and helpful. The food was delicious! We will surely go back. read more

We had an amazing experience here for our anniversary this evening. The food was great, tables and decor were immaculate, and staff was attentive. Clayton stopped by our table several times throughout the night and his energy was contagious, he suggested pairing the meat he was serving with the chimichurri from the cold bar, even offering to bring it to us, and several times asked if there were any cuts of meat that he could flag down for us. Overall great experience, and would recommend to anyone looking for a fun dining experience. read more

When I was 13, I got to go on an absolutely magical trip to Mexico. While I was there I had my first experience with Brazilian steakhouses, as the resort we stayed at had one on premises. It was one of the best food experiences in my 13 years of life, so I was incredibly excited when this place opened and my husband made reservations for my birthday. We get here, order drinks, and emotionally prepare for an obviously meaty journey. We ordered drinks, and my $13 beverage took over 20 minutes to reach me, it tasted and smelled medicinal, but I try to swallow it down. My son's sprite tasted like cleanser and we had to change it over to apple juice. We head to the salad bar, super excited about the highly touted lobster bisque, and was greeted by bisque sans lobster or meat of any kind. It's just okay. Everything so far is meh, but we are still excited for my birthday meat coma. Finally our coins are green (which is really a poor way to show you're ready for meat, at one point my coin flies off the table after being served, but it doesn't really matter. The meat is all, and I mean all, lackluster. Under-flavored, overcooked. The medium rare promised wasn't found. The same 4 meats kept coming to us over and over, and I got frustrated at one point and I even told our mostly absentee server that I haven't even had the opportunity to try things like shrimp, pork ribs, chicken, lamb...he promises to help, but after an additional 30 minutes, I told him this dinner was a failure and to just get the check. Nearly $200 later, my birthday is isn't run he's, but it sure isn't enhanced by my dinner, I said to the server quite clearly we wouldn't be back and he kinda just shrugs...I have had the feeling since I rejected the $8 water at the start of our meal that he's not really happy with his prospects for this table and also think that's why he was mostly absent. I did type my lower end 18% because it just didn't merit more. In the end, my 13 year old dreams of Brazilian Steakhouses may have finally been outgrown. I don't see this place being very successful unless a serious overhaul takes place. We ordered a pizza when we got home. So since this is TLDR zone, synopses as follows below: decor, terrible, I felt like I was at an 80's buffet, table layout is poor. When reservations are made for someone's birthday, do not put them at a wall near where the servers prepare desserts, be nice even when the tip received is not going to be what you want it to be, or it goes down more, and maybe better disguise mouse traps, that was pretty unappealing to see. read more

We came here for a birthday dinner on a Saturday night. We arrived about 20 minutes before our reservation time and were seated quickly. The meats were great with the filet mignon both bacon wrapped and not wrapped being excellent. The shrimp were really good as was the chicken. The flank steak was our favorite though, great flavor, juiciness, and texture. The meats came around frequently and we had to flip red in about 45 minutes. The "lobster" bisque was tasty as a bisque but lobster was no where to be seen. We did dip our shrimp in the soup and it was great. The fried bananas were amazing as a side dish. We had one shady attempt at an upsell when they did not have the bottle of wine that we ordered. They came over with a substitute bottle that they wanted us to take instead. I asked for the wine menu instead. The bottle we had ordered was about $70 and they brought out a $140 bottle as a substitute. No thanks but nice try. We did order a fantastic bottle of Pinot Noir from Chile for $60 that we will be looking for in wine shops. read more

The meat they serve is ok , I went with a party of 7 yesterday. Some people eat rare and some don't. The carvers were not giving the meat we asked for . And when we requested a type of meat they took forever to bring it out . The server felt bad that we wasn't getting served what we wanted also but she was very nice . It's not many side choices at all and the price for a pitcher of juice was $38. For the price we pay to eat there the choice of food should be better and the meat should be out as requested. The look of the Resturant was ok . We loved the candles at the table . The salad bar was awesome it had many choices . read more

All but one thing was exceptional. When we asked for water they brought us $8/bottled water. I was quite deceptive. Beware.

The prices and service. I feel it's quite expensive for two people, $115.00. The prices could be lowered down some. They don't have a lunch and I wonder why? The ones out of state are quite different... The food is great though. read more

On Sunday, I stopped in for a drink and to check out this new place in town. The bar staff was busy yucky it up among each other. Once I did get a drink I was hounded to get food. When I said I only was getting a drink, the bartender treated persona non grata. read more

Our son treated us to dinner at this location recently. We were seated immediately upon arrival but it took nearly 15 minutes before anyone approached our table. We were instructed about the dining approach and left to go to the buffet of salad/side dishes. When we returned to our table, before we had begun eating, our server brought out the hot sides. Since we were seated at a marble topped tables they got cold before we could enjoy with our meat choices. The gauchos were very attentive but sadly our designated server was not. We have enjoyed other Brazilian restaurants so this was a very disappointing experience. read more

This place has my heart. I'm addicted! I've never had this kind of food and now it's all I want.

Great customer service. Staff was friendly and Management was walking around and making sure everyone was happy! Food was decent.

We were under the impression that servers would be walking by our table all night, with different meat options. That didn't happen. We were sat on the opposite side of the restaurant from the kitchen. As the servers came out of the kitchen, and worked their way across the room, they run out of meat 1/2 way thru the restaurant. With our cards green side up the entire time, we had to stop employees and ask if they could get someone to stop by with meat. A server would eventually stop over, giving us a sample, then we would wait again. So we would flag down someone again, to ask for help. That went on the entire night. For 2 dinners and pops, $130 before tip. We won't be back. read more

First, our expectations were high due to the cost of this meal. We had reservations in advance and they sat us why back in this small corner table (no ambiance). Our waitress was nice, a little on the slow side, but nothing horrible. Took awhile to get our waters, and drink order. Then she asked if we would like lamp chops with our meal. Well, she didn't tell us they were separate of our "all you can eat meat order" and for 4 lamb chops we paid an extra 25.00 dollars. I can marinate and grill a rack of lamb for about 20.00 - 25.00 (that includes at least 10 chops). Second, the cold bar was very good, hence the 2 stars, but the hot bar was not appealing at all, I choose nothing from there. Occasionally, a man will appear from the kitchen with some sort of meat to offer you. Let's said we basically choose the beef, which I believe was tenderloin, but not prime, choice I hope, and hopefully not select. The rest we tried and did not like, either spicy or spices were not right. The men that come out of the kitchen seem like they are in a hurry to offer you what they come out with, and I only say this as one of the men cutting our serving ended up splashing "meat" juice on my guy's shirt. We asked for the manager and he said, "Well, can I get you some seltzer water and a towel". We were not looking for a free meal, maybe a "I'm sorry and could we have your shirt dry cleaned". After getting a bill for over 200.00 (with tip), we always tip as we know it's not "everyone's fault in the restaurant", we left extremely disappointed. I also want to mention that we ate at a Texas de Brazil in Phoenix, Arizona which was excellent and that is why we chose to try the one in Grand Rapids. read more

Loved everything from the time we walked in. Great vibes, food and service. We can't wait to go back!
