   Dinner was very good. Everything was hot and fresh. The salad bar was amazing. The waitress was great as well.

   The food was very good, but when asked about “happy hour” drinks for a 5:00pm reservation, I was told unequivocally that we couldn’t get the happy hour priced drinks for dinner. Happy hour runs from 4:30pm to 6:00pm. I was highly disappointed that happy hour doesn’t appear to extend to people who are dining any more. It must be a very new policy because it wasn’t that way in the past. Suffice it to say that they shouldn’t advertise a “happy hour” if it doesn’t apply while dining. They should at least state that it does not apply while dining, but since it only applies while waiting at the “bar”, maybe that advertisement should be at the “bar” and not on several huge signs in front of the establishment, making one think “happy hour” extends to the people dining in the restaurant. I am still going to frequent Texas de Brazil because I enjoy the food, but now I am aware that “happy hour” does NOT apply to dining at the restaurant, which is why I am giving a lower rating than I otherwise would. False advertising is never a good look for any establishment - pull the happy hour signs and put a small one at the “bar” since happy hour does NOT extend to people dining in the restaurant, but is only available to people at the “bar”.

   Food service was slow, barely visited the table with meats. Had to ask the waiter twice to get them to come. Up charging for certain meats was wild and now getting “French fries” as a side kinda downgraded the elevated experience. Kinda disappointed tonight after spending $345 on the check

   Amazing! For just under $60 per person it is literally non stop the most amazing meats you have ever tasted. Every server is super kind and the service was quick.

   A great place to end a great day! We had reservations and were seated promptly. We had been there before but our server ensured a manager came to talk us through navigating the menu with our food allergies. Food was delicious, lots of options in the buffet and many types of meats brought around to us very quickly. We got a little bit of everything! We went with our two boys to celebrate their upcoming birthdays and my oldest was too full for dessert. However, they still brought out a plate with "happy birthday" written on it with a candle for him to blow out so that both boys would get to be celebrated. It was such a thoughtful gesture to top off the meal! Service all around was great from the hostesses, to our server, to those serving food tableside. We all left full and happy. Definitely will be back again!

   A group of five met up to celebrate our friends birthday. Once our group arrived we were quickly seated at our reserved table. Once seated Hector B. Came over introduced himself and explained how everything works. Explained the salad bar, he wished the birthday girl a happy birthday. Took our drink order and politely excused himself. The salad bar was fully stocked with fresh items, the hot salad bar contained white rice, black beans, scalloped potatoes and a sautéed mushrooms in sauce. The meat was hit and fresh, my favorite was the spicy beef! Many of the guys skipped out table, I guess because we were at the back table we were overlooked. We ordered two pitchers, one with the coconut lemonade and the the other with passion fruit lemonade. Overall a great first time experience.

   The service was excellent, and the team that's working does a great job of being attentive. Meat, salad bar, drinks, were all top notch.
