This place needs to have a beeper disc for people waiting to be seated. The staff yells a name doesn't go out into crowd of people that are standing all the way outside. They dont bother to call your phone even if they fo have your number. Its a nightmare. Salad bar is very good, meat is so so for how they claim. Seems a lot of it is very chewy. The experience once you get seated is chaotic when you go on busy day or time. Staff is generally pleasant. A once a year thing for us. Quite pricey. Decor is pleasant but the a/c was blowing right on us and we were so cold. Wish they could adjust so it blows outward and away from where you sit. Bring a sweater. I had one but still froze. read more

TdB in Schaumburg leans into the full spectacle -- lively dining room, gauchos circulating nonstop, and that first wave of cheese bread that immediately derails any attempt at pacing yourself. Service moves at a steady clip, and the meats come around often enough that you never feel like you're waiting for the "good cuts" to appear. The salad bar is its usual sprawling spread, but let's be honest: it's mostly a warm‑up before the parade of skewers begins. Everything arrives hot, carved tableside, and cooked to a consistent medium‑rare unless you ask otherwise. It's indulgent, it's excessive, and it's exactly what you came for. One perk of this location: it's attached to Woodfield Mall. If you forgot to make a reservation, it's a great place to kill time without hovering awkwardly in the lobby. And after dinner, wandering the mall is a surprisingly effective way to walk off the mountain of protein you just consumed. For the northwest suburbs, this spot delivers the full churrasco experience -- energetic, satisfying, and perfect when you want a dinner that feels like an event. read more

Came with my girlfriend and we had a lovely experience! The food flowed for a long while I was stuffed after the salad bar. Very nice selection of fresh salad, cheeses, olives, meat. Very nice soups and other appetizers. The meats?! Oh my. Everything from beef, lamb, chicken, and pork. All cooked to perfection! You have a choice in doneness. Let's say you want your beef medium rare or well done, they gotcha! I like mine with a little blood. It's so tender!!! Perfectly seasoned!!! I think they also offer dessert but we were so satisfied with the meats that there was no room for anything else. Check them out. They have a loyalty program as well. read more

Here's a polished version of your description with smoother flow and a slightly more engaging tone: Texas de Brazil does not disappoint. From the moment you're seated, the experience feels both upscale and welcoming. The gauchos continuously circulate the dining room, offering a wide variety of perfectly seasoned cuts of meat and preparing each one to your preference--rare, medium, or well done. The salad bar is just as impressive, featuring an abundant selection of fresh vegetables, cheeses, and hot items that can easily stand on their own as a full meal. Every detail is thoughtfully presented, giving you plenty of options to customize your dining experience. What truly sets this place apart is the exceptional service. The staff goes above and beyond, consistently refilling water glasses and wine without you ever needing to ask. Reservations are highly recommended to guarantee a table. For example, a 12:30 reservation was ready even earlier, with a convenient text notification at 12:10 letting us know the table was prepared. If you're looking to enjoy the experience at a better value, take advantage of their weekday lunch specials, which are often about half the price of dinner which makes it a great time to visit without sacrificing the experience. read more

This place has an amazing atmosphere. The staff were friendly. But if you do not like to leave a place when you're stuffed to the gizzards. I would not recommend. The food is amazing. read more

This is only my second time here. I always love the place its so classy. I just feel like the floors were slippery. Our server was great but one of their managers was amazing! His name is John! The food was great! The meat were all seasoned and cooked perfectly! And they would go around to make sure to offer what they have and your steak preference. If they dont have it they would come back around with what you wanted! Will definitely be coming back! Happy eating!!! read more

Celebrated Valentine's Day here. We had a 6pm reservation but when we checked they were running about 20-25 mins behind. I let the server know I was celiac / gluten free and she said she would bring out an allergy menu. I also could pull it up on my phone. Their website allows you to add your allergy and it will tell you what you can eat. The server wasn't very knowledgeable with GF items. She contradicted what the menus showed so I just asked her to confirm with the kitchen. The buffet was very clean and I felt safe grabbing my items. There are many items that are gluten free. Per the server, I couldn't keep the menu so I just took my phone up with me. Also, the fried bananas, Brazilian cheese bread, and 3 desserts are GF. We opted for the crème brûlée to share. Overall the food was good, but it would be nice to have the staff more knowledgeable. If I didn't have my phone or do my research before, I wouldn't have been able to remember what was GF at the buffet since I couldn't take the menu with me. Also, wished the mashed potatoes and fries were GF. They do not have a dedicated fryer. read more

My sister treated me for my birthday. Unfortunately I had a big lunch before I went and didn't have much of an appetite.I tried everything and it was delicious, cooked to perfection. There is a lot of sides that I wanted to try but I had to try all the meat they offered. Definitely want to return again if you're a carnivore it's worth the money. Go hungry read more

We stopped in for lunch today. The decor is bright and beautiful. We were seated immediately and greeted by our server within moments. Our server was very knowledgeable. Your first course is the large "salad bar" which included everything from salad, to charcuterie board items, sauces, shrimp, and more. The staff comes around with numerous throws of meats including bacon wrapped chicken, flank steak, garlic steak, bbq chicken, lamb and more. This is an all you can eat experience. They also serve fresh rolls, mashed red potatoes, French fries and cinnamon sugar bananas for the table. Everything was flavorful. Service was excellent. We will be full for days! read more

I am in town for a few days and decided to dine at Texas de Brazil. Today, I put it on my itinerary and here I am. The restaurant is gorgeous inside with cleanliness that would make the Board of Health very proud. The color balance and table settings are exquisite. The service is top notch. The staff is courteous, knowledgeable and informative. The meat choices are superbly seasoned. The food bar has enough choices to satisfy the most scrutinizing dining enthusiast. I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience today and will be back. Everything was absolutely delicious. read more

Texas de Brazil - Nothing but sensational beef - Brazilian Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

I have not been here in years! It's great to know the service and food has maintained its quality. I'm so glad we stopped in, despite the location in a busy mall season we were quickly seated. The staff is always so attentive and ready to help at the drop of a hat. The atmosphere was very homey and not so loud that we couldn't hear each other. It's great for large groups and families. I can't believe we stopped coming here, it's time to book a holiday get together here soon. read more

Just DONT GO FOR DINNER! Worst idea ever. I usually go for lunch which like $40 and it's fine. I figured I'd go for dinner because it's been a while to get some of the new meats. Supposedly all they had to add was ribs and filet mignon. I got filet once and they never brought me ribs. I asked 3 different people. Complete waste of an addition $30. read more

Are you a Carnivore? If so, when you visit here it will feel like you've died and gone to Heaven! You'll find the tableside meat service makes for both an interactive and highly enjoyable dining experience :-) The salad bar and the sides here are all excellent, and it's very easy to completely fill up on them without leaving sufficient room for the MEAT - I suggest you pace yourself, as despite the quality of everything, the true highlight of a visit to Texas de Brazil is the incredible variety and quality of flame-grilled meats. All the meats you eat here will be carved fresh at your table - from perfectly seasoned lamb chops to succulent filet mignon and juicy piranha. The flavors and quality of the meats is unmatched. Tip: For optimal enjoyment, I suggest you go in with a plan to enjoy the plethora of meats available while enjoying the sides and salad-bar in moderation. You'll find a card on your table which has two sides - one side that's red (for stop) and the other side that's green (for go). The intent of these signals is o give you a way of telling your servers when you're ready (and not ready) for more meat. Gauchos wander through the dining area regularly carrying plates of meat that they're happy to custom carve to your specification. The dessert here is also good, but you'll probably find it difficult tp have room left over for dessert after you've eaten your fill of the amazing meats, sides, and salad bar :-) read more

Amazing food and wonderful service. The lunch prices are easier on the budget than the evening meal, but the meats served are lunch are not the same as in the evening. read more

Thursday nite dinner was very good, and always great cuts of meat they serve you . Service with Fatima was great. Always asking for what type of meat you want, to pouring water as needed. We ordered a bottle of red being snd it was a perfect match for the red meats. Salad bar was terrific with all the options, and lobster bisque soup was delicious.? We always enjoy coming hear since they opened about 20 years ago, to celebrate birthdays and other celebrations. Will definitely be back again! read more

After trying other similar restaurants, Texas de Brazil is way better. They offer more meat with a lot of flavor. The bartender is awesome and makes great cocktails. Service was good. Besides the one guy slamming the mashed potatoes on the table but then he kinda calmed down and realized he did that. He was nicer after. And it's not fair we can't take the left over bread, so it gets thrown out! The horror!!! LOL Anywho can't wait to come back! read more

Expensive, but what do you expect for all you can eat meat for two hours? Go hungry, roll yourself out the door afterwards. The salad bar was great, but the 'hot bar' was lacking when we went; it was not refreshed well. The meat is prepared to perfection. read more

I went to Texas de Brazil tonight and unfortunately had the worst dining experience I've had in a long time. The food was dry, and my plantains had to be sent back three separate times -- after the third, I simply gave up and didn't eat them. I ordered my steak medium rare, but it was served well done. My cocktail tasted like nothing but sugar, limes, and ice -- no real flavor -- so I didn't touch it. No one ever checked in to ask how our food was, which made the service feel inattentive. The ambience was chaotic and unrefined, more like a noisy kid's party than a nice dinner out. I was shocked there's no dress code -- many guests were underdressed, which really affected the atmosphere. For the high prices, I expected so much more in both quality and environment. Sadly, I can't recommend this location. read more

Came here with my brother and SIL for dinner. Made a reservation through open table and they called to confirm. I was surprised to see no high chairs at our table since I put it in the reservation notes and they asked about it when they called. We had a gift card and bonus cards to use but unfortunately the fine print said we couldn't use the bonus cards until 1/1 of the following year! Lobster bisque was good as was everything at the salad bar. I thought the chimichurri could have been more acidic. All the meats were very good and my favorites were the picanha, filet minon, spicy sirloin. Chicken is a bit dry. My daughter also enjoyed the variety! Overall a fun experience. read more

Texas de Brazil - Salad bar - Brazilian Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

A group of 15+ of us were here for lunch on Thanksgiving and I am still mind blown. Everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. This location has been around for at least 10 years and it's been well kept and maintained. The ambiance is cozy, warm and very welcoming. Seating is very comfortable and great for staying a couple hours. The salad bar has plenty of great options, such as veggies, cheeses, meats, sauces, breads etc and they also had traditional Thanksgiving options (turkey, smashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce) while we were there. Thanksgiving meal and then some and I don't have to cook or clean?! Don't mind if I do! The protein choices were endless and flavorful - chicken parm, sirloin, flank steak, bacon wrapped chicken, lamb, etc. The quality of food is 5 stars all the way - there is so much to choose from and the options are delicious. There are also sides to share for the table which were soooo good - mashed potatoes, cheesy bread, fries and sweet plantains. All of the staff members were kind and attentive. Waters were frequently being refilled and dirty plates were taken away in a timely manner. Our server had a friendly and great personality! He made the experience for our large group very enjoyable. We were able to separate checks however we deemed appropriate. This was a great touch as it made everything run smoothly and quick. read more

Texas de Brazil has always delivered good food. The meats are tasty and cooked well, and the salad bar is fresh with a lot of variety, it's definitely one of the highlights. I've come back a few times just for the food alone. Where things could improve is the service. Staff handle the basics, but there isn't much extra attention or care, which makes the overall experience feel a little flat compared to what you'd expect at this price point. Speaking of price, it's on the higher side, especially when there are other Brazilian steakhouses in the area with stronger service. One thing I'd really love to see is an expanded wine list. Adding more Italian and Spanish wines would elevate the meal in a big way. A nice Barolo, Brunello, or Tempranillo would pair perfectly with the meats and make the dining experience feel more complete. read more

Always get a pound of flank steak with chimichuri sauce! And then get it delivered. I don't think is much different in price then cooking it yourself. read more

The price is reasonable because you leave full. So many food choices, we tried a little of everything. It's fancy for couples but yet casual enough for everyone because it's at the mall. read more

Way too crowded due to tables too close together. This place has lots of competition and should be aware that there is a lot of competition for this type of restaurant. It is a shame that we won't be back Never again read more

Excellent place. Fresh salad bar, good drinks, tasty meat cuts, friendly staff, clean place and good ambient.

Whether you have a reservation or just want to walk in you are treated with such kindness and smiles from the hosts, wait staff and servers. The entire place is clean and open, you can get around the tables very easily. The salad bar is so fresh and clean, all the sides are so tasty. Once the servers start going around with the meat it's such an amazing experience and it's all so HOT and fresh you're not eating stale dry meat. We love coming here, it's a bit of a drive for us but so worth it. And their desserts are a must try and worth saving room for. read more

This ayce experience is normally $60 before tax and tip. So we only go when one of us has the VIP discount card which is 50% off dinner price for 12 spots. The salad bar is excellent because it has so much more than just salad such as cured meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and vegetables, hot foods like lobster bisque, etc. As for the actual meats, there's a wide variety and the quality is mostly consistent every time we go. Occasionally there's a rare cut instead of medium rare but not a big deal. Filet Mignon is usually dry but was surprisingly tender this time. We usually avoid chicken and pork because those are dry. My personal favorites are picanha, lamb leg & chops, and beef ribs. Flank steak is fantastic too. The free sides - cheese bread, mashed potatoes, fried bananas are all well executed and we each have our favorites. Service is good. They're always bringing meats, asking if we would like specific meats, and refilling waters. read more

Unlimited meat to satisfy my hunger. All the meat they presented to us was flavorful and tender. read more

Can be pricey but you will get the service and food quality you pay for. Picanha, medium rare and fatty with a nice crust on the outside (share this with your server), is the best thing if you ask me. The salad bar is quite filled with both salad and some meats and salmon and bacon and shrimp. Also love the cream of Jalapeno soup. Lunch is almost as good as dinner, I think you get bacon wrapped filet and maybe beef ribs at dinner. But it's almost twice the price, so I recommend lunch. Make a reservation to reserve a 2 hour slot for yourself and enjoy the food! It's AYCE, you get a circle, when you show the green side, the meats come, the red side means u need a break. Also try the grilled bananas, a great dessert that comes with the meal, as opposed to other desserts you pay extra for. Drinks are also extra. read more

Had a wonderful time at this location. Was a good amount of people but good thing we had a reservation. We came in the celebrate a birthday which the birthday boy didn't know about. Overall the restaurant in nicely decorated and everything goes by smoothly whether ordering drinks or getting your food. I had a ginger cocktail that was pretty strong so I had asked for a new one and there was no problem which I appreciated it. My favorite meat from the night was the flank steak, really nicely prepared. The bar salads and other soups were also very good. For the price it's worth it even though prices did go up. Oh and we got a complementary slice of cake with a big plate that said happy birthday for the birthday boy read more

This is the greatest flank stake place, chimichuri sousew and garlic mashed potatoes, always great service

I infrequently frequent this place is solid and I've never had a bad experience with service or food. My daughter and I wandered here today and just got the salad bar and it was such a steal for lucnch. Kids 2-5 years and under are 5 dollars. We spent as much here as we would at the lunch bar at Whole Foods. And the quality of the sides is excellent and talk about healthy. Though, next time I'm definitely getting meat because it's mighty tempting when people are walking around with deliciousness. Will be coming here again. read more

I absolutely love going to Texas de Brazil. I always have an awesome time. We usually go to celebrate birthdays, anniversary's and such. Every time I go I feel like I need to dress up. The decor makes it fancy looking on the inside. This last time we just went for lunch. I love the salad bar, so many fresh options. My favorite is the grilled pineapple. Each meal/experience comes with mashed potatoes, sweet banana, French fries, and cheesy rolls. Texas de Brazil functions on flipping red or green indicator at your table for one of there servers to bring meat to your table. Green means go and red meaning stop. I always love the flanks steak and the picanha. The meat is cooked the way that you like. The servers do a great job on learning your preferences and they try to meet your needs. read more

I was blown away by the flavors and tenderness in all the meats. The salad bar was fresh and full of everything from olives to shrimp. The servers were top. I only wish they would have done something special for my parents. I took them there for their 65th wedding anniversary. The only thing they did was to say congratulations and god bless you. A little candy, glass of champagne, or dessert would have been nice. read more

Came here to celebrate someone's birthday. Whoever had set up the tables had missed adding knives and tongs for two seats so we had to ask multiple times to receive our eating utensils. They do a good job of coming by with a variety of meat options. My favorites are the garlic filet mignon, the sausage, the pork picanha, the flank steak, and the lamb chops. All the desserts are delicious too. Highly recommend coming here for your next event or birthday celebration. read more
