   The food is amazing and the ambiance is great. However, our waitress seemed like she was miserable and work was the last place she wanted to be. She never smiled, was very curt. We came to celebrate my husbands and daughters birthday and she never offered dessert. It was disappointing because of her

   This will be my fourth trip to Texas de Brazil, but the worst trip. Reservations were made at 8:30 pm, and we ( two sons ) were seated promptly at a table by the window with a good view. Our host was quick to introduce himself professionally. I asked for the mashed potatoes as usual and waited as our protein choices were served to us as usual. As we waited on the mashed potatoes, we helped ourselves to different pork and beef varieties but noticed that the restaurant's ambient temperature was hotter inside than the outside temperature. I asked our host what something wrong with the A/C was, and his response was nothing was wrong, and the temperature was the way it should be. The host left, and I gave little thought to his reply but reached for my water to quench my thirst and possibly cool down; that's when I noticed I was drinking room-temperature water. As one food runner approached our table, I asked him about the uncontrollable temperature, and he stated the a/c wasn't working correctly but dealing with the heat in the kitchen, it was cooler at my table. Being told the truth, I was satisfied, and he said he would notify my host to come and see me. The host returned, and I asked him for some ice for my water which he did. Later the HeadHost visiting all the tables and checking Customer satisfaction, approached my table, and I shared my concerns. She told me that the outside was hot and because I was beside the window was the reason for the uncomfortable heat. Three different stories are told as to why we were eating in an upscale restaurant in uncomfortable heat and drinking room-temperature water. The outside temp was 75.

    Far and away the worst service I’ve ever had at any restaurant. Our server acted like she didn’t want to be there, went missing for long stretches of time and was non-attentive. Drinks took forever to get from the bar and she actually dropped a fork on my daughters head and never apologized. Absolutely horrific service. I asked to see the manager twice and he or she never came to the table.

   This is hands down the worst TdB we’ve ever gone to. •AC was out, so it was super hot •Service was slow, and there was hardly anyone there. •They had 2 gauchos working, and meat was slow coming out. •Food was under seasoned and taste burnt almost. •Buffet was lacking and picked over. Skip this spot and go elsewhere.

    My 9-year-old wanted to take his dad out for a birthday dinner at Texas de Brazil. Since it was going to be one of the gifts for his dad, my son took money he earned from doing chores around the house. They enjoyed their time and said the food was excellent; however, the service was disappointing. Their server was slow and inattentive. When they asked for help getting certain meats to come by to their table, it just never happened. At the end of the meal (when she finally brought the check) it was right at $90. My son put 6 $20 bills in the booklet to pay. He expected the server to bring back $30 in change and he planned to leave $20 of it - a nice tip after below average service. She NEVER brought his change back! They waited at the table for over 20 minutes and every time they tried to get their server's attention, she would avoid eye contact and head in another direction. They will be back, but will request a different server in the future.

    The food is good but not for 59.99 each. Our bill for 4 people with 4 drinks was $347 including tip. I had by-pass surgery and there’s no option for someone like me. You can order just the salad bar for 31.99. It was too bougie for me. I’m sure less boring people would like it. I would like my meat to be more well done. It’s a little too loud for 4 people to have a conversation. The choc cake is fantastic. We experienced it but we won’t be back again.

    We enjoyed our dinner there! Online would only let me reserve a table for four, so I wrote in the comments that we had five. Apparently they don’t read the comments where it asks if there are any special needs. If you have anything you need them to know you need to actually call them since they don’t read those comments. It took a really long time to get drink refills. We asked two different people and probably waited 15 minutes, I’m a server so I try to be super patient with servers and understanding, but because I’m a server, I also realize it shouldn’t take that long and you shouldn’t need to ask two different people to get just a simple drink refill. Some of the meats were over cooked, which seems odd since they specifically tell you that the meat is going to be medium rare and ask you if that is good with you. That is perfect for us, which is how we love it! However, the fillet was mostly well done, and that’s just not how we enjoy steak. We were there celebrating a graduation, and no one mentioned that at all. Again, why would you ask during the reservation process if you were celebrating anything, and then not even mention it. Other than these things, we really enjoyed our dinner last night!

    Our server was fantastic but the gauchos didn’t bring flank steak or the house sirloin around often enough. I know we could’ve asked our waitress but we didn’t. I do think it especially nice that you have cold salmon on the salad bar with capers and green onions. That is my favorite dish.

    We arrive to the restaurant and am met with extreme heat. I look around and all the servers are sweating. We note that the air conditioning must be out. We are seated after several minutes in a very crowded area. We fix our salads with what was available at the bar. Many things were out or were very, very low. I return to my seat and try to eat my warm salad. Unable to do this I set my plate aside and waited for my new clean plate for the skewers. After several minutes there was no plate, and the server was nowhere to be seen so I obtained 2 more plates from the salad bar area Over the course of this miserable experience we were looked at by gauchos and they would turn and look away; our server visited our table very little; we ran out of drink several times; it was so hot my husband became ill; gauchos were frequenting diners on the other side of the restaurant much more frequently. We did not enjoy our experience and will not be back. We had such high hopes for this restaurant but I’m very disappointed.

    We are long time Texas de Brazil patrons, and it never fails to disappoint. I was not expecting the great level of service we got due to it being Mother’s Day and they were slap full. As usual, the food was great, and the service was very good, especially taking into account how busy they were. My only complaint was the temperature, it was pretty hot in there, which I’m sure was due to the radiant body heat from so many people, the fact that it was sweltering outside that day, and the door was opening and closing more than normal from people coming and going. Other than that (which is out of control of the restaurant) it was an amazing Mothers Day!!

    The restaurant was extremely, and I mean extremely hot. The manager said the air was on as low as it could go. Later on he would say he could “turn it lower for only a few minutes”. A very bizzare answer when everyone was miserable including the staff. Our poor water was pretty rude but I think she was honestly fried herself. They were out of coke. We would have gone somewhere else had we not already paid for the gift cards.

    The food was ok, lot of it undercooked for my taste. But what we did get, lot of it was not trimmed good and had a lot of fat, or the meat was very tough and chewy. Tha salad bar was mediocre. The gentleman that was bringing the meat out hardly came by are table. The server hardly came by as well. Very over priced for the quality of the restaurant.

    The meat here was over cooked and very dry! We were told it would come out medium rare, we asked for medium and got over cooked well done!! We have eaten at a different Texas de Brazil and experienced some of the best tasting well cooked meat. This location was terrible. We mentioned it to the management several times but the meat still came out bad! I would not spend that amount of money at this location ever again!!

    We were 10 minutes early for our reservation and were checked in and told that they'd seat us closer to the reservation time. However, we weren't seated until 15 after reservation time. We were curious about why we had to wait a total of 25 minutes with a reservation, especially when half the tables were empty and set up. Ta It seems they are shot-staffed with our "hostess" pulling double duty pouring water for the seated guests. She kept coming back to her computer screen to look at seating in arrangements, but I guess she could find a table? That marred what was otherwise an enjoyable meal.

    A decent experience for a celebratory dinner. Highlight was the food - very good. Room for improvement in service including ensuring requested meats come to table, which did not happen for us the one time we requested one particular cut of meat. In any event, interior quite nice and enjoyable setting.

    Just OK now. Not what it was pre COVID. Had to ask 4 ti.es for the meat we wanted. No point in the coasters, no one noticed and half the table wasn't offered when others were. Coffee was cold, twice. Not likely to return. Needs to return to older service model.
