   Went for dinner on Christmas and expected it to be busy. Reservation for 7pm, sat about 7:20pm, but host gave the expectation they were running 15 minutes behind. As we walked to the table I noticed the floors were slippery. Server was quick to approach the table, but gave the "I am over this day and exhausted." Salad bar and hot sides were good, but didn't want to fill up as we were there for the meat. The meat selection was very limited and either rare or well done...offered parmesean chicken and sausage at least 5 times and only 3 different meats. Had to ask server about mashed potatoes, which were ok. The server brought the check without offering dessert. The whole evening she was less than attentive. I understand it was a holiday and they were busy, but if they ran out of meat, should have offered a discount on the meals.

   The flank steak was amazing and lots of good choices at the buffet. Wonderful Christmas dinner!

   It was super busy, but it's also Christmas day. Our server was okay, didn't seem very friendly, but I just assume she was in the weeds (very busy and over whelmed) the items at the salad bar were great. The meat selections that made it to our table were all very flavorful, and delicious. Just seemed like there wasn't as many options as there should have been.

   Great food, but the meat service was slow-we were only offered 3 options and were passed over several times.

   All of the food items were delicious. The meats were all tender and tasty. The salad bar had a nice selection of choices. It was my first time at this restaurant and I would recommend it. The service team was excellent.

   Although the main server was very attentive, the meat service was very slow. Only one meat server came to our table the first 30 min and offered sausage. We had 3 meat offerings total in 1 hr. Chicken and lamb-the lamb was raw. Not rare -cold raw. After an hour our server came back and asked if we were ready for dessert. ?? We said we were waiting for any beef options She said she would send some over but when they arrived it was extra well done sirloin and overcooked ribs. We gave up and headed back to salad bar which was rather good. Overall very slow service and the meat if you are lucky enough to get any was simply not good.

   We are glad we went and we’ll go again Sunday to take another party, but at a different location. Word of caution they roast the meat with rock salt. We made the mistake of not choosing “no salt” on a reservation and we did not get the variety and amount of meat choices. Our fellow diners did. I have a reservation in a few days through OpenTable and I’ve made this request. Will let you know how that goes everything else is spotless. The food is fresh delicious and bountiful and I highly recommend it for that alone!

   What a cool Christmas Eve experience! The food was great the staff was friendly and happy to explain the process of a Brazilian Steakhouse. Will definitely keep Texas de Brazil on our short list for special occasion choices.

    I rarely write reviews, but Texas de Brazil earned it. I’ve been to a handful of these types of steakhouses before, including the one that used to be downtown. IMO, this one has the BEST meat by far. Everything we tried was seasoned and cooked perfectly and we never waited long for another server to appear. The salad bar was not as grand as some I’ve been to but everything was delicious. It isn’t a huge space, and it is very well staffed, so we felt well taken care of. And for the price, the quality and variety can’t be beat. Can’t wait to return.
