Best Seasonal Restaurants in Troy

loved it. will definitely be back. the girls who work there killed it! and the food was amazing!

We weren’t quite sure what to expect walking into Texas de Brazil, but we left both full and genuinely impressed. From start to finish, the meal exceeded our expectations. The salad bar was an experience in itself—almost overwhelming with how many fresh options it offered. The greens were crisp, the dressings delicious, and the lobster bisque stood out as a real highlight. Though it didn’t have chunks of lobster, the soup was thick, rich, and full of flavor. Once we flipped our little card over, the meat service began, and the variety was impressive lamb, pork, multiple cuts of beef, and chicken. The flank steak surprised us by being exceptionally tender and flavorful, and the chicken was the standout juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. The filet mignon, though tender, was a bit of a letdown; the bacon wrapping overpowered the meat’s flavor. I didn’t try the lamb or pork personally, but others in our group did and gave it high marks. With the meats came a tray of sides: creamy red-skinned mashed potatoes, light and cheesy bread, fried plantains, and French fries. Everything was well-prepared, though I wasn’t fond of the coating on the fries. The mashed potatoes and cheese bread, in particular, were crowd-pleasers. The service was attentive and friendly. While the staff seemed a bit young and still gaining experience, they were trying hard and eager to please which counts for a lot. The total came to $184 for three people (plus tip), with no alcohol or specialty drinks, just water. It’s certainly a splurge, but for the quality and quantity of food, it felt justifiable. And for a chain restaurant, the food was surprisingly fresh and flavorful. Would we go back? Absolutely. It’s not an everyday dinner spot, but for a special treat or when you just want to eat like royalty, Texas de Brazil is worth the visit.

Dinner was fantastic! Our server was super nice and attentive throughout our meal. The restaurant is filled with plants and natural light. We started with the meat & cheese board and drinks (blood orange margarita, summer spritz) which were all fabulous! For our mains, I got the Peach please pizza (comes with cheese, applewood bacon, peaches, Vermont maple syrup) and it was delicious (highly recommend - perfect combo of sweet + salty). My boyfriend got the summer sauté (zucchini, squash, heirloom tomatoes, red onion, white wine sauce, angel hair pasta + grilled chicken) which was also fantastic! Will definitely be back when in town! Bar was full and every seat in the house was packed on a Monday night, so definitely recommend a reservation!

Entrees and apps were delicious, service by Ryan assisted by Eric was unobtrusive and helpful. My waygu strip was tender and tasty. My wife’s lamb was a treat.

We had a large party for Father’s Day but our server, Peyton was amazing!! She was so attentive, bubbly and helpful! Everyone at the table had a phenomenal time and enjoyed her service. The food and drinks were all delicious, everyone enjoyed their meal. This was our 2nd brunch trip and we were pleased both times. Will definitely be back for future brunch! And hopefully will be able to have Peyton as our server again, I cannot express enough how fantastic she was! She made our experience more enjoyable!
