I have had this one on my list for a while and got to finally go for our birthday celebrations. We were not disappointed. It is a traditional Brazilian steakhouse, come around with numerous kinds of meats. The lamb was very good as well as the Picanha. They offer a lot of desserts and have a good sized salad bar. The bar seemed to be a nice size and they have large TVs which made for easy access when eating dinner but also could prove as a distraction if the cowboys are playing. The seevice was great and they work as a team very well throughout the restaurant. I honestly had no idea who my waiter was because they were all all over it. read more

Nice environment for a romantic dinner. We went on a Saturday night and it wasn't too crowded. The customer service is amazing, we felt like we were taken care of. The meats are great, only found one cut to be too salty for my liking but other than that, they have good choices. Salad bar is great, loved the fresh parmesan cheese and lobster bisque. All in all, a good experience and would visit again! read more

You must try this place. It isnt as expensive as the "other" brazilian steakhouses but is still equally as delicious. The salad bar is always my favorite, minus the scalloped potatos and the meat waa very good as well. Service was exceptional. We had plenty of meat options coming by our table all the time. Very clean and beautiful dining area. read more

Some meals feed the body. This one fed the soul. VB Steakhouse in Arlington gave us more than just dinner. It gave us a memory so golden, so human, that it shimmered long after the last bite was gone. My grandmother was visiting from New Orleans, a city that doesn't hand out compliments easily when it comes to food. She's been to the best of the best. And yet, when we walked out of VB, she looked at me with eyes full of wonder and simply said, "That was one of the finest meals I've had in years." And she meant it. From the moment we stepped inside, the experience unfolded like a beautifully composed song. Warm lighting. Elegant atmosphere. A staff that moved with grace and presence. But the true magic came from one person: Wendel. A manager with the presence and heart of someone who truly lives to make others feel welcome. It wasn't just service. It was soul. Wendel didn't just manage the floor. He orchestrated an evening. He welcomed us like we were old friends returning home. At one point, Wendel said something I'll never forget: "The best wine is memory." And that's exactly what he gave us. A memory bottled in warmth, aged in kindness and poured with care. Wendel is rare. A radiant soul who understands that great hospitality is about presence, not performance. He made my grandmother feel honored. He made me feel proud. He made our family feel like we were exactly where we were meant to be. And that alone is priceless. Henry, his right-hand man, was a quiet masterclass in attentiveness. Always nearby. Never intrusive. The kind of service that makes you feel seen without ever needing to ask. And then there was the food. Every course felt like it had a heartbeat. Perfectly prepared cuts that melted with flavor. Sides that reminded you why comfort food is called comfort. Every bite told a story, and every plate brought us closer together. In a world that pulls us in a hundred directions, VB gave us a rare pause. A table to gather. A reason to stay. A night that reminded us the real luxury in life is not found in price tags or prestige, but in presence. In people. In moments that become stories we'll tell forever. To Wendel, Henry, and the entire team: thank you for a night that became a treasure. You didn't just serve dinner. You gave us a memory we will carry for the rest of our lives. If I could give you more than five stars, I would. Because VB Steakhouse isn't just a restaurant. It's where love is plated and memories are poured. read more

This was quite a disappointment today. The service was great, no complaints there. The salad bar was quite disappointing; Foga de Chao it is not. The meat according to four people at the table was sub-par in quality of the cuts and had an excessively salty taste in an attempt to "add flavor. Overall, for the quality of the product, the cost was excessive. One full dinner, one salad bar, two ice teas, and one mixed drink = $126. We picked this restaurant due to convenience in location for some family members and the love of a Brazilian experience. This mistake will never be repeated. read more

Had high hopes for this place but unfortunately it was mediocre. A lot of the cuts were tough and medium-well. We dined here for Father's Day and we were all left feeling underwhelmed. When we first were sat, all the meat were brought to us at once. After that, they completely stopped coming to our table. Maybe cause we were seated in the back room but we are also paying customers. I mentioned to our server that the meat stopped coming and he asked what I wanted... I was like well it's not what I want.. we're here as a group so it would be nice if all options were still offered. It's ayce and a pretty penny. $400 for 5 adults after tip. I shouldn't ask for the meat to come to my table. Some of the bread and items at the salad bar were no longer there before it was even closing time. I've definitely had better Brazilian steak. read more

My family had a great time and servers were very polite and professional. And food was megaaaa delicious !

If you're looking for a good Brazilian Steakhouse with top tier customer service, look no further. We came here for a date night and the lighting and ambiance was perfect. Very romantic, not too loud, the tables are spaced out enough where you don't feel like a can of sardines while dining. Jonathan our server went above and beyond for us. We literally felt like royalty. The different choices of meats were delectable. My personal favorite was the beef ribs and spicy piccata. The beef ribs melted in my mouth and the piccata was soooo flavorful. We will definitely be back. read more

I am extremely disappointed. I've been here several times, I have brought people for special occasions, and I recommend it all the time. Today I came alone and had a reasonable experience until I was accused of not paying my tab. Not only did I pay my $74 tab, but I left a $25 tip in cash and handed the check back to my server and told home I didn't need change. Once I walked out of the building headed to my car an employee stopped me and asked if I wanted to pay by Apple Pay. I said excuse me and he said how do you want to pay. I said I paid in cash and he said oh and went back inside. I returned to get a copy of the receipt just incase. I hope in the future you train your employees not to judge based on appearance, because it has lost you a long time customer. Update I was contacted and offered an apology and complimentary visit. I went yesterday with my bestie (I paid for her) and we had a great time. It's very busy on Saturday evening and they were quick and the food was good as usual. read more

VB Steakhouse - Accused me of not paying my tab. - Steakhouses Near Me - Arlington, Texas

A Night at VB Brazilian Steakhouse: Where Tradition Meets Texas Ambiance Stepping into VB Brazilian Steakhouse is like being enveloped in a pocket of Brazil within the heart of Arlington, Texas. The interiors are a sophisticated blend of traditional Brazilian elements and modern Texan flair--rich mahogany surfaces meet colorful Brazilian tapestries, while the gentle light of the chandeliers casts a soft, welcoming glow over the entire space. The Dining Experience VB Brazilian Steakhouse is more than a meal; it's an event. In traditional "churrascaria" fashion, Gauchos--skilled Brazilian chefs--navigate the dining floor with skewers of succulent meats, ready to carve you a slice of whichever cut catches your eye. This tableside service doesn't just add an element of excitement to the meal; it makes each diner a part of a culinary performance. Culinary Offerings As a dedicated foodie, I was particularly impressed with the diversity of meats on offer. From the rich, fatty goodness of the Fraldinha (flank steak) to the lean, succulent slices of Filet Mignon, VB Brazilian Steakhouse provides a meat lover's smorgasbord. But it's not all about beef; the menu also boasts an array of chicken, lamb, and even seafood options. And let's not overlook the salad bar--a vibrant tableau of fresh salads, imported cheeses, olives, and Brazilian side dishes like the iconic Feijoada. This provides a much-needed respite from the meaty feast and offers something for everyone, even vegetarians. Drink Selection No Brazilian dining experience would be complete without the national drink--the Caipirinha. And VB Brazilian Steakhouse has mastered it. Tart, sweet, and oh-so-refreshing, it's the perfect palate cleanser in between bites of rich, savory meat. Service Excellence What elevates the experience from great to exceptional is the service. The Gauchos aren't just adept at grilling and carving; they're also a fountain of knowledge, ready to explain the intricacies of each cut or recommend the perfect wine pairing from their extensive list. Price Point While the dining experience at VB Brazilian Steakhouse is on the higher end of the scale, the quality of food and level of service make it worth every penny. This isn't fast food; it's a luxurious culinary journey. Final Thoughts All things considered, VB Brazilian Steakhouse in Arlington is a true gem. Its commitment to delivering an authentic Brazilian experience--from the ambiance to the food and service--sets it apart from other dining options in the area. It's not just a place to eat; it's a venue to celebrate, to indulge, and most importantly, to feast. Jojo The Flying Foodie from aGoodTaco.com food blog read more

Discovered them by accident as they were next door to our hotel. It was a Tuesday night and we were able to get a reservation via Open Table. We have been to a few Brazilian steak houses in Oklahoma, but this one seemed special. It was very welcoming and comfortable. Full bar, salad bar and the meat's kept coming. If you like lamb they had shoulder and chops in the rotation. Usually, it's a separate menu item and extra or non-existant. Not here. Our Server was Adrian who was very nice and friendly with a great smile. I was stuck on what red wine to order. He suggested The Prisoner. He was spot on with the recommendation. So much so that I tracked it down and purchased a bottle. The salad bar was fresh and they have a cilantro, jalapeno ranch that is pretty awesome. You knew there was a hint of heat, and the cilantro was very light. Meats were very good. My favorite was the parmesan encrusted pork. I'm not a fan of parmesan encrusted chicken, but what the heck. It was outstanding. Parmesan wasn't the main ingredient. You knew it was there, but you could taste the meat. I wasn't a fan of the sausage, but you may be. We did something we don't normally do and that was order desert. We shared the Papaya Cream. It came with a black currant liqueur which we asked for on the side because we were skeptical. Ok, we were wrong to be skeptical it was delicious with the papaya. It was light and not too sweet. It's an upscale, romantic restaurant, but don't be put off if you've got your jeans or shorts on. You're welcomed anyway. There were people there on date night, families and groups. I'd go again and probably will when I'm in the Arlington area. read more

Came here for a team member birthday outing -- I've been to Fogo de Chao and Texas de Brazil but it was my first time at VB. Knowing Brazillian steakhouses, I was definitely excited. We went right around opening time (note that they only open for dinner, at least on weekdays) and the location may honestly be hard to find because it's in a confusing area. We were the first customers of the day. We got some drinks at the bar -- I got the moscow mule. The bartender was great and he made my drink perfectly well. We were then escorted to our seats. Our server gave us the quick rundown on how the experience works and we were off from there! I enjoyed the salad bar as there were some items that I don't see at Fogo -- I got the smoked salmon, grilled garlic, salad, hot & spicy shrimp, creamed corn (highly recommend) and some mozzarella cheese. They serve your typical cheese bread, plantains and mashed potatoes but everyone knows you shouldn't have too much of that to save your appetite for the protein. It was nice being one of the first customers as the meat kept coming and the service was geared towards us. While I did like all the meats, I especially enjoyed the garlic beef, filet mignon, ribeye and beef ribs. The bottom sirloin was also fantastic! I also liked the beef ribs because it wasn't as salty as the other meats and it was SUPER tender. Pretty great! We also ordered dessert - I got the creme brulee and it was fantastic. I mean -- what can go wrong with creme brulee? Service was fantastic -- our servers kept making sure everything was good on our end. Whenever our wine glasses were empty, they made sure to fill it back up. It really was a great experience and I cannot wait to return! read more

Service was excellent. Ambiance is ok but it's very loud in the back room. The lack of quality on the beef was very disappointing. Automatically adding a 15% gratuity to a party of two was a bit pretentious. $55.00 per person was theivery on Valentines Day. I expected much more from VB Steakhouse for what they charge. read more

The food and ambiance were awesome!! I recommend not filling up on all the buffet style breads, salads and soups. The meat is the reason for dining here and they bring out a variety paced at 1 to 1.5 hours. I couldn't believe the variety, but if you don't pace yourself you will not have any room fir something else you'll see later!! Trust me on this one and you won't regret it!!! Enjoy!!! read more

5 of us dined for my 70th birthday on Saturday November 23 and were quite disappointed. Service was mediocre at best, meat was cold, fatty, over-salted, and fatty. In addition, they added the 20% gratuity as if they knew they provided a subpar experience. When paying 150 for 2 people, this is not close to appropriate. read more

My husband and I ate dinner at VB Steakhouse. We used a gift card to pay the bill. I checked the balance before we left the house so I knew exactly how much was on the card. The server added an automatic gratuity on the bill (usually only done on parties of six or more). When we asked the server and then the manager about the gratuity, both denied having done so. We did not like being lied to. We will not return. Just be aware of this practice if you eat here. Check your bill carefully! read more

We arrived at VB Steakhouse for Lunch on Friday and it was the best lunch we have ever experienced in our life! The salad bar was exquisite. Sauted Asparagus, Steamed Broccoli, Artichoke Hearts, Caesar Salad, Waldorf Salad, Spinach Salad with fresh strawberries, Pasta Salads, Chicken Salad. Everything Home made to perfection. The Ambiance was like we went on Vacation to Brazil. Real Wood Tables and Table Cloths, Painted Murals on the wall. The Fried Bananas and grilled Pineapple was very good. The Cheese bread was excellent. The Grilled Lamb was the best I have ever eaten! I enjoyed the Garlic Steak and other meats as well. My Favorite part of our dinning experience was the staff. From the moment we walked in the door we were treated like family! Each staff paying attention to us and creating this wonderful Experience for us! read more

Bad service! Gave reservation seats away to accommodate another group who had way more people for their reservation.

I enjoyed this meal during Covid-19. The staff were extremely professional adhering to regulations in place and providing gloves as well as hand sanitizer. There are not enough pictures that can do this location Justice. From casual dinner with friends to a first date this location will hit the mark. Be ready to pay for great food and matching service. This is not my first time enjoying a Brazilian Steakhouse and while this location did not stand out from the others what all of them have had in common is great service, a reputable staff that are observant to the needs of the guest and a clean warm enjoyable restaurant with enough choices and food to leave any party satisfied. read more

Had a very disappointing experience here tonight. We came in to celebrate my birthday with a few family members, and we felt like we were completely unwanted by the waitstaff. The food was pretty good, though the meat overcooked at times, but our server cleared off the entire table while we were still eating, without a word of warning. All of the sides - none of which we had even really been able to each much of at that point - plates, utensils, and red/green card cleared away! One of the people in our party who managed to, sort of, regain her dining setup was still trying to enjoy their meal, but then none of the meat was being brought by or offered. She had to flag down all of the meat as it went by - or it was spirited away right passed our table. It was as if they decided we were "cut off" and stopped services. For $52/pp and a ticket of over $300 (they also automatically add a 20% gratuity) - this was a really unacceptable way to be treated. read more

Have visited VB several times , mixed feelings about the first three visits. However on the last visit Manager John approached my wife, and I at the salad bar , and had informed me the ice tea we ordered was not ready yet, and offered an alternate beverage to get started I replied certainly let me have a diet coke. We returned to the table and the waiter brought out this tiny bottle of Coke and left it on the table. I asked the manager if the tea will be ready soon then asked if they had a fountain like other restaurants. He replied no it is by the bottle for an extra $3.00 each, and I informed him that that was not acceptable. So rather then leave the bottle on the table he removed it, and had us wait for them to get their act together without a beverage. Removing the beverage was offensive since they were at fault for opening without being prepared. Over one lousy bottle of soda they have lost our business , and we go Brazilian two - three times a month. So it's back to Fogo once again. In addition every time we went here my wife informs me the commode in the restroom is broken with a plastic bag placed over it, can they not afford a plumber ? One last thing FYI on this final visit there was a large rat running outside the closed On the Boarder next door read more
