    Wanted to thank all the gauchos and kitchen staff for always providing delicious food, both on the salad bar and directly to our plates, with remarkable consistency. The Bartender Matt for pretty much knowing to have a base pitcher of Brazilian lime aid once we walk in the door, pending just the fruit flavor of the visit. We were delighted to have Jessica and Maria stop at our table and chat with us between their assigned tables. Our server Jenna did fantastic and we couldn't tell it was her first month on the job. Management also has been very active with transitioning, and how much we miss Sarah (and Danel too, almost as much). Rozeena has big shoes to fill, but shes keeping the place looking great! Thank you all for a wonderful evening!!

    Great place to gather with friends for a wonderful meal. So many selections available at the salad bar, hot buffet table (delicious lobster bisque) & and so many selections of grilled/roasted meats.

    An off night I would hope. Meats were mostly over cooked and/or dry. Service was sparse and harried when attending us (had to get our own water 2x), which at the price paid, was not appropriate. Not a cheap place to dine and the expectation was that the experience should have been better. Will likely not return.

    Have gone here several times, enjoy every time. Great meat, cooked to perfection (even for a table that has expansive preferences). Consistent and Attentive service, water glasses never empty, side dishes appropriately replenished. Fantastic house wines, great pallette cleansers from the salad bar, and phenomenal desserts. Could not recommend more highly. I'm quite sure they lose money from me eating here - the meat is endless!

    Texas de Brazil on a Monday night was perfect - quiet and plenty of visits from the guys with the meats. We didn't have to wait long for anything. Meat was perfectly cooked and the sides were delicious.

    The salad bar was disappointing and half of the items they had on the website you had to order to make which took 30 minutes to get. The meats were undercooked and tough and they had no air conditioning on a hot day. They had barely any light in the restrooms. I spoke to the manager who refunded 3 out if 4 meals after someone in our party got Ill. I will not be returning to this plate do yourself a favor and save your money.

    This was our third visit. We arrived a 1/2 hour early from our reservation time and they took us right in. As always, meat was delicious. I ate a lot of veggies / salad. I had difficulty picking the beets, cauliflower and carrots up with the tongs. Maybe it was me. We have never had a bad experience here.

    We have been here quite a few times and this weekend we had the most wonderful experience. The best we have had at any restaurant around the globe (to date!) and that was thanks to our waiter, Kevin — an absolute gem of a human being. He was incredibly attentive, considerate, and thoughtful during our entire visit. He greeted us with a big smile and wished us goodbye with the same genuine enthusiasm that he had welcomed us with upon our arrival. Kevin made this a 7-star experience. When you go ask for dinner at Texas de Brazil definitely ask for Kevin as you server! Keep up the incredible work Kevin! You are such an indispensable asset to Texas de Brazil! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Over the past years have noticed the quality of food has been declining. We like medium rare and several of the servers just bring what’s on the skewer. Disappointed how the quality is declining.

    Texas de Brazil delivered a fantastic experience. From Matthew, who was very attentive from start to finish, to the gauchos, making sure we had our fill of savory, tender, and thoroughly delicious meat selections, and even the salad bar. This is probably one of the best meal options in the Albany area. I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in the area!!!

    The food was good but everything else was less than desirable. As soon as we arrived things started going downhill. There was no one at the reception desk until someone eventually strolled over and barely greeted us in a detached and unwelcoming manner. The waiter was missing in action most of the evening. He forgot to give us the red/green disc used to pace the meal so the meat started piling up in our plates even before we finished our salads. The meat was put on our dirty salad plates until I went and retrieved clean plates. It wasn’t until we were finished with our meal that the waiter told us that there were side dishes but he had forgotten to bring them. All in all it was a terrible dining experience in a restaurant that is barely functioning.

    The food is always amazing but slowing down a little would help. The staff serving the meats are a little too quick to be honest. We have a full plate before we can really start eating. This doesn’t have a negative impact on the enjoyment but slowing down a little will give guests time to breath and enjoy the meal slowly.

    Staff was overwhelmed. No refills on drinks the entire dinner, not even waters. The meats were rare or med rare and even though the server said they would get us medium it never happened so many of us didn’t get to eat any steak.

    It was our last night in New York for our vacation, and came across Texas de Brazil. The service was very fast, and the waitstaff was extremely friendly. The amount of food given for the price was outstanding, and there was no way anyone could leave on an empty stomach. If we ever come back to Albany we will definitely stop in again!!
