Texas de Brazil - Carlsbad

The atmosphere is excellent, and both the food and service are good. The salad bar offers enough variety to satisfy a vegetarian. However, if you prefer your meat cooked more than medium rare, this might not be the ideal spot. Despite assurances from multiple servers that they’d bring out more well done cuts in 5–10 minutes, they never followed through. This was disappointing, especially on a slow night with no clear reason for the delay. That said, the rest of the table received their medium-rare cuts and really enjoyed them. Desserts were great

I brought my friends to this awesome restaurant since they hadn’t tried it before! Even though I’m not a big meat eater, I think it’s a fantastic spot for all the meat lovers out there. The variety of meats 🍖🥓🍤🦐🥩🐑 is simply amazing! Plus, the salad 🫜🥗 and hot bar are delicious too! Our server, Luca, was super friendly and really made us feel welcome. The Gauchos were really nice as well! 😃👍🏽

❤️❤️❤️Definitely recommend this place ❤️❤️❤️❤️There are a few things I would do before coming . 1 - Make a reservation and come during the week ( we came on a Wed 2/19/25 and it was a easy reservation. 2- Come in comfortable and loose fitting clothing to enjoy all the delicious food 3- Come with a empty stomach to fit more food . We had the pleasure of being seated by Rosario and she was kind and polite we sat by the Salad bar and that was the best thing we could have done. We had a few people serve us and Vinnie and Luis were exceptional with their service and support . Everything we tried was cooked well and presented with great. I loved the chicken wrapped in Bacon all the meats were moist and had all the perfect texture and flavor! The only thing I would be aware about is there red pepper 🌶️ they are so small but so spicy 🥵! I will post a picture so you are cautious. The salad bar was fully stocked and we enjoyed our dinner! Cannot wait to come back ! I would park on the other side of the mall facing the restaurant for easy access. Come and enjoy the food

Myself my husband my brother in law and daughter all ate here tonight. The salad bar was by far better than any we have been to the meat was amazingly seasoned and the fliet mignon was melt in your mouth buttery good. There was no wait for us as we made a reservation. We were so full we had to bring home dessert. My kid absolutely loved the steaks the thin sliced meat in the salad bar area.

Our friends invited us to Texas de Brazil for a delicious meat feast, and it exceeded all expectations! There were eight of us, and every single person left completely satisfied. The continuous rotation of various meat dishes was incredible—each one cooked to perfection, whether it was lamb, beef, or pork. The sides were equally impressive, with fresh salads and tasty accompaniments that paired perfectly with the meats. The staff was super friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was pleasant, the restaurant was spotless, and even though it was packed on a Sunday (it was quite noisy), it didn’t take away from our enjoyment. We’ll definitely be coming back, and not just once! Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves great food and a warm dining experience.

Very busy night, but our server was attentive. First time at a brazilian bbq, and it was such a pleasant experience I couldn't stop talking about how delicious the food was for daaaays! 😂 Salad bar was also great, and loved the banana cream cake & creme brulee 🤌 will definitely come back again!

I had a reservation, but didn’t get a table until 20 minutes later. The floors were greasy, and I slid a handful of times while grabbing food from the salad bar and going to the restroom. The toilet lid was coming off, and the paper was everywhere under the standards. The food made up for it because it was delicious, and the servers were proactive.

This was the first time for three out of four of our party, and I will say it left an amazing impression on everyone. The service was great - our waitress was attentive, friendly, and conversational. And all of the staff delivering the meat were hospitable and came around at a good pace. The food was delicious! One of our party is vegetarian so we let our waitress know at the start, so he was charged 31.99 instead of the regular 56.99. We weren't sure if he'd have a good selection but their salad bar was extensive and he found more than enough to fill a couple different plates. I loved the meats but could go back just for the salad bar - there was a nice assortment of charcuterie items - olives, cheese, pickles, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, heart of palm, and more. Fried pineapple slices, premixed salads, and a section to make your own salad, along with soup, potatoes, and sauteed mushrooms. The meat selection included filet mignon, bacon wrapped filet mignon, tri-tip steak, parmesan chicken, a couple types of pork, plus more. The house special, picanha, was especially delightful. I definitely wanted to eat more but was at my limit by the end! I had a coupon from their online club, and there was no issue with using it at the end while we paid. It's a bit pricey but I'd say well worth the cost. We'll definitely go back for special occasions!!

Food Excellent Meats and banquet sides. Great alcoholic drinks and wines. Wonderful desserts and coffee. Service is the best. Every single person on staff provided pleasant service. They all made us feel welcome. Our chat with our main server shared her cultural knowledge of Rio de Janeiro. What a happy person she is. Now we want to visit Brazil. Ambiance. Elegance simply put. Natural Casualness.

First time here on my birthday. I took my family to try this Brazilian steakhouse. We were excited with the presentation of the food and decoration inside the restaurant. Unfortunately, the food was not as good as expected. Everything is so salty nothing else just salty. I felt bad for my family to come to this restaurant and spent money on my birthday. Even birthday dessert not on the house. We paid for it. I gave 2 stars because the decoration inside look nice. The service was not exceed my expectations. I've been working in restaurants for over 15 years. You can do better service than this for the menu price! Will I go back again? No, thanks.

I wanted to surprise my boyfriend with a Valentine's Day dinner, and since we love eating meat, we decided to try Texas de Brazil. First impressions: The restaurant looked nice and upscale, and we only had to wait about eight minutes to be seated. However, we were seated under the AC, so it was really cold the entire time. Service: The service was great! Our server checked in on us frequently and made sure we were getting the meats we liked. Food: We started with the salad bar, where I got salami, prosciutto, mozzarella cheese, and shrimp--everything tasted really fresh. I also tried the lobster bisque, which was delicious. When it came to the meats, they were flavorful and cooked well. I also tried lamb for the first time, but it wasn't for me--the flavor was a bit strong, and it reminded me of goat. Additionally, I felt like some of the meats were really greasy or had a lot of butter, which overpowered the natural flavors. Overall: It was a good experience, and the service was excellent, but I'm not sure if I'd come back. We paid about $150, so for the price, I was expecting to enjoy it more.

This is my Churrascaria spot. The best. Thats all you need to know. Picahna is amazing and all the other cuts as well love the staff here. All great peeps. Drinks are awesome and they serve McCallan!!! Ask for Luca for the most epic experience!

/10!! We had never been to a Brazilian restaurant before now, and we will DEFINITELY be back. The service is astounding, as well as varieties. All of the meats brought around were phenomenal, absolutely cooked to perfection. the sides (both buffet and ones brought to the table) were amazing! The lighting is low, the vibes are great. it was an absolutely lovely dinner to treat my significant others to!

One of the top 3 Brazilian steakhouses I've been to. Great wait service. Went here on Christmas Day, and it was pretty packed. I think everyone had the same idea I had on no cooking for the holidays! The wait service were in great spirits as I know it's rough having to work on the holidays. We made sure they were compensated well. The meats were flavorful. The wait staff kept up the pace as more customers came. My plate was never empty. The salad bar was fresh. My favorite was the lobster bisque! My mojito was so refreshing too! Definitely will come back.

Brazilian Steakhouse!!! Texas de Brazil is an exceptional dining spot for a memorable family experience. Originally planning on giving it 4 stars, the outstanding service from Thiago tipped the scale. His warm connection with my kids was incredible--bringing them Shirley Temples and going the extra mile by adding extra cherries from the bar. Such a thoughtful touch! The meats were perfectly seasoned, with options cooked to satisfy everyone in our group--medium for some, well-done for others. Everything came out quickly, and the flavors were spot on. For families looking for a great atmosphere and top-tier service with a kids menu with specials under 12, Texas de Brazil delivers. A highly recommended experience!

Been here 3-4 times and always have had a great experience. The salad bar is always well stocked and a favorite of ours. The hot dishes are delicious and my favorite are the mushrooms. Now for the main course, the meat is very seasoned but delicious. We have yet to try the ribs as those are never offered but after reading reviews I look forward to the next time we go and ask for them.

I placed an order online. They had a promo for free 12 cheese bread with $25+ order. My order was $37. I picked up my meal and when I got home I didn't get any of my cheese bread. When I tried calling, the phone was just ringing. My experience could have been better. I must admit I was disappointed when I got home. The food that I ordered was delicious. I would definitely come again. But definitely check the bag before walking out.

On the pricey side but gotta love that unlimited basket of cheese bread! Meats are ok, could be slow at times and not as much selection if there's not a lot of people.

Food : Delicious Service:Friendly Ambiance: classy Came to celebrate my friend's birthday and we loved it. The have a salad buffet. Sides delivered to the tables. If your card is green they come with different skewers of meat. My favorite was the bacon wrapped filet and jasmine rice ! They give you potato balls that are chewey little bread like balls. The desserts were ok. But definitely coming back ! The steak was flavorful and delicious.

We decided to try this Brazilian restaurant for our anniversary and were disappointed with the food. The meats were so salty...the salad bar didn't have enough of a selection at all. The bread they bring to the table should be some sort of label as it's a consistency of like mochi or like tapioca they said it is cheese, but it's a weird consistency in your mouth. I will say the best thing we tried was their carrot cake which was amazing. The service was good. The two star rating is for the saltiness of the meats which are supposed to be the star of the show. The Lamb was very gamy tasted very gamy and we had to spit it out. The ambience is nice, but to me the tables are too close together as you can hear what others are talking about. Again the service was excellent.

Wow! I love it here! The food is so delicious. Our server was actually Brazilian and she spoke highly of the food at this restaurant. It was a quiet Monday evening when we were there so we had lots of attention. The servers were in constant rotation with the meat skewers to the point that I started eating faster to keep up with them. Haha. I tried one of everything except the lamb. It was all good. My personal favorite thing about the restaurant was the salad bar . They had so many offerings that were Brazilian and of course regular salad bar food too. This was a great, fun place.

Once again Texas style wins the day. Great service and plenty of meat coming quick. Salad bar is top notch and plentiful. This franchise sets the standard in my opinion. I've been to many and this is what I compare to. If you want to try a Brazil grill make it Texas de Brazil. From hostess to server to meat runners we are very happy.

There's good and ahh ok to this place. Go expecting that and enjoy the experience of dining differently. There's a worker who brought meat that was excellent. Wish we'd gotten his name. Twice he got the person carrying the steak we preferred to come to our tables so thoughtful. Soup was Luke warm. Pass. All potato sides were delicious! Even the fries. I usually pass on fries. These were the best I've had. Some meat wasn't good at all. Tough. Bad flavor. But some were yummy. Cooked perfectly. Husband loved the smoked salmon from the food bar. We'd go again one day. Company paid $100 towards our meal as a Christmas gift total was $120 for two ppl no drinks. Ouch. Worth it? No but maybe my husband loves this sort of thing so I'd go back for him if he wanted to one day.

The food here is pretty good and they have a good selection of meat and other things as well. My friend and I have never been here and after we were seated, the waiter just walked away. My friend and I were confused about how the place works, which no one told us. For example, you get your plate by the soups and have a card saying yes and no in front of you for the meat. It was just odd that no one asked us if we've been here before and explained how it all worked. So we sat there for a while waiting before just winging it. And even tho my card said "yes," the meat people kept passing our table. Also, they asked my male friend if he wanted this one meat, and he said no, and they walked away. Meanwhile, my card said yes, his said no, and they walked away before I could let them know I wanted some. The place also had a spill and was out of random sides. I do feel it could be really good if just ran better.

My family ate at this place last night for my dad's birthday. It was packed. We were seated right next to the podium where people check in which was next to the front door and we were freezing. My dad asked if we could move someplace else because he was so cold and was informed that there were no other seats available. To be clear, we had reservations, it wasn't like they were just trying to fit us in. Our server was delightful and otherwise quick to respond to requests. But the entire time our party of six was just trying not to shiver. The food was typical for a Brazilian bbq, if saltier than necessary. The little cheese breads were exceptional and were constantly refilled which was great because we could hold their warmth in our hands for a couple of minutes. Because of the tightness between tables, everyone was constantly jostled every time one of the other guests got up to get stuff from the salad bar. That was not comfortable for me but really intolerable for my 83 year old uncle and dad with Parkinson's. The people working at the establishment were friendly and our discomfort was not because of anything the workers did. The next time my family decides that they want to go to a Brazilian barbecue, we will likely not return here. It was really unfortunate that we were not able to enjoy our celebration because of how uncomfortable we felt in the restaurant.

Came for my hubby's bday and we were not disappointed. Our party was a large party of 12 ppl and we only spent close to $600 including tip. No one really got drinks and about four of those people did the salad bar only option. Salad bar option is very good and has a lot of options like smoked salmon and lobster bisque! Service was absolutely amazing. Only wish I could have tried the beef ribs as the reviews say they are soo good. I also noticed that the servers with the meat weren't coming as much to our table as the other tables and we would have to wave at them to come lol Ambiance was nice an elegant and overall it was a pleasant experience.

Solid tonight all around from the hostess who took us in even though I mistakenly made it for the next day! The meats were seasoned perfectly and everything was pretty darn good. Shout out to Mateo(Matthew) & Luka who remembered the cuts we wanted. Most importantly my wife, who's birthday we celebrated, wanted the lamb cuts and both made sure they came around as soon as they got it. They don't do anything for birthdays which isn't a deal breaker. The salad bar had all the hot peppers I needed! The non-meat surprise was the cinnamon & sugar plantains that they served at the beginning of the meal. We ordered another at the end and ate it for our dessert. They do provide a military discount of 10% that I appreciated! Will definitely be back!

My husband and I were here for our 17 year anniversary, our sever Mark was out standing. This was our first time at Texas de Brazil, but definitely won't be our last. The meat was AMAZING another gentleman that stood out was kika? I hope I'm saying his name correctly. Hubby and I are big meat lovers and we definitely enjoyed the freshness, seasoning, and juiciness of the various meats, my taste buds were going wild in a good way!!! Ambiance was great, it was busy but didn't bother us!!! Thanks Jesus is KING‼

It took us a couple hours of calling on Tuesday evening to realize that reservations have to be made online, but the process ended up being easy. We arrived for a late dinner on a Wednesday, and it exceeded my expectations! I loved the pineapple carpaccio (tasted like cinnamon!), all the cheeses, and the table bread. Mid-meal, hot sides came out like garlic mashed potatoes, french fries, and fried bananas. For the meats, in order of my favorites: filet mignon, any lamb, the other beefs (flank, top sirloin, etc), any chicken, and lastly, the sausages. I was impressed that the "good meats" got offered at my table many times (4 for the filet mignon, 6 if you count the bacon wrapped option!), but we came on a not-so-busy day. To finish, I had coffee and we shared a creme brûlée; neither were included in the AYCE price. The coffee was smooth and strong, and the dessert was light and not overly sweet. I would definitely get both again. Our server was super friendly and attentive- water glasses stayed full, table clear of plates. The meat runners were all polite and generous. The vibe was perfect for date night/birthday celebrations. The decor was beautiful, especially the huge floral arrangement at the salad bar; the table settings were just as grand. We look forward to bringing out-of-town guests here and keeping it in rotation for special evenings out. Pros: - food quality - AYCE - reasonably priced if you don't drink alcohol - HUGE alcohol menu book for those who care - service - ambience and decor - beautiful table settings - clean restrooms - that pineapple though Cons: - I am aware that on busy nights, meats come more intermittently to your table - they asked if it was a special occasion at check-in (it was ) and then it wasn't acknowledged (we didn't mind; we chose our desserts)

Great food and excellent service! Plus they have a military discount which helps a lot!

I've been here more than once but the staff has changed and the last two times I've been here it's been awful. The last time was two weeks ago ,my family and I came to eat and half way through dinner my wife went to get more food and my son needed to use the restroom, I told out server "the table is going to be alone for a moment but we are not leaving I just need to use the restroom".Came back, table was with all the plates stack on top of the other and silverware all piled together. The lady picking them up said "I'm sorry " and from the same pile gave us all the dirty greasy silverware that was mixed now with all the food !!! She gave them back with a confused smile on her face. Today "superbowl day" food was cold except the meat . We asked to get fried plantains changed because they were cold . New batch ...(COLD) and to top it off we were about to pay and we asked for the military discount to be applied and the waitress said sure I just need to see an Id . We show the id and she applies the military to just the id holder .the disrespectttt we are a family my wife has her own id clearly we are all under the same bill which means you apply the military discount to the check not the person . It was so disrespectfull she must be new because never before I've experienced that not here not in any other restaurant. That was very unprofessional I had to stop my wife from saying something when she also had her military dependent ID and she could have made her go back and reprint the check but we were so annoyed already y the bad experience we just thought it was best to leave. Never coming back

The staff are very nice but soooooooo sloooooow. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice. They can't cater to any requests like "can I get a piece of steak that's not rare and dripping with blood". I asked three people who came around if I could get my meat a little more cooked. They all said yes and they'd be back. No-one came back. The buffet sides and salads were very good. I told the waiter I had no meat and he agreed to charge for the lighter menu, but ran my credit card for the meat menu. He said they would refund it and rerun my card. I said OK The waiter came back to explain this three times and then said it could not be done and they would just refundthe difference. I said OK. Then the manager came to explain it all over again. I told them to just put the difference towards the tip. It took them over 30 minutes to figure all this out, My card was then charged twice.

I ordered Delivery today. I just want to say, "thank you" for our delicious Christmas Day Feast! Everything was perfectly prepared and so fresh!

Everything was perfect! 10/10 recommend. The food, service, and ambiance were spectacular.

Great experience, if someone else is paying for it. So is it worth it? This is basically an all-you-can-eat churrasco restaurant that gives you an opportunity to try various types of meat, including lamb and Brazilian sausage. You will also be enticed by a salad bar and a hot side bar. Everything served at Texas de Brazil was of high quality, and meats were all expertly seasoned. That's the biggest takeaway. The flavor of the meat.. How many times have you ever ordered steak at a restaurant and it was bland and tasteless. Here it was juicy and tasty. Service was very attentive, and skewers of meat were always stopping by our table. Overall, this was both fun and satisfying. Save this place for that very special occasion. Tips - A week before you plan on dining here, go to their website to get a $20 off coupon. Just note that there will be several rules and blackout dates, including Saturdays. Book your reservation online, and you'll be able to mention that it's a celebration. You'll get a comped dessert, which was delicious. This is a place for business meetings and celebrations. Unless you're wealthy, this would probably not be a place to just take the family on a whim. It's expensive. You're looking at a minimum of $300 for dinner for five people, and that's without alcohol or fancy water. It's not a romantic experience. Loud and crowded.

This is a mixture of buffet and restaurant that is a unique experience. Went here for thanksgiving dinner so I am not sure if this was a typical night or they tried to enhance everything to a holiday dinner. We enjoyed one of the signature cocktails and had the full dinner Buffett. Salad bar was much more than that with smoked salmon, fresh bread, pickled treats, beans and other cheeses , olives and hot roasted peppers. They set out the holiday turkey, stuffing, gravy and added black beans and rice. Lobster bisque soup was also provided but was a bit too salty. After we sat down they brought mash potatoes, rolls and fries and a side of cooked banana. We did not order more drinks and just washed everything down with sparkling water. The meats were a constant parade of sausage, chicken, sirloin and lamb. They even had a wonderful mint sauce for the lamb. Full wine list although we did not order any. Service was extraordinary and most folks seemed to be really enjoying the dinner as we did. Absolutely no room for dessert but they had all kinds of cakes and pies. Cannot say enough about my first time here but we will be back. What a special place for tourists and locals. Plenty of parking. Atmosphere was festive and a bit noisy but it did not detract from the evening. Loved the layout and decor. Inside and patio seating. Try it you will definitely like it!!!!

Came here for a gal pal Christmas get together. Felt a little off put by one aggressive meat server who kept coming to our table asking if we wanted meat - but our cards were turned to red...isn't that the point of the color coded cards? The floors were also quite slippery for some reason...we didn't feel very safe walking to and from the salad bar. Our actual server didn't come back to check on us for additional drink orders either. The food however - amazing. I would go back if I was in the area.

THE WORST!! Had a reservation on a weekday, plenty of tables available and barely anyone was there; we checked in with the host, first question she asked was "are you here to celebrate anything..." as if we did not specific the information on the website prior to booking the reservation. In addition, we have always wanted to tried Texas de Brazil since we always go to Fogo de Chao. After we got seated, our waiter, Elijah, came to our table (party of 2) with the most unpleasant attitude. From the moment we were seated, it was clear that our waiter had no interest in providing even the most basic level of customer service. His demeanor was rude, dismissive, and far from the hospitality we expected at an establishment of Texas de Brazil's reputation. Throughout the evening, we were made to feel like an inconvenience rather than valued guests. He seemed irritated by simple requests, responding with a bad attitude that only made the situation more uncomfortable. This behavior was not only unprofessional but also significantly impacted our ability to enjoy the dining experience. We came to Texas de Brazil with high expectations to celebrate our special day and based on the positive reviews and reputation of your restaurant. Unfortunately, this experience has left us feeling disappointed and disheartened. I now understand all the 1 star reviews from other customers' experiences!

Scammed on my Birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!! The food was good, but I got scammed. We were done and just waiting for the check and one of the servers just brings one last expensive bottle of water after we told the waitress we didn't want any more. When the check came they circled the "20% tip is included for parties of 8 or more," but it wasn't. Between the 7 people that ate we split the check between $300 cash and the remaining of the $535 on a card. One of the servers comes by and doesn't look or try to talk to me while taking the check. When she comes back, all the cash is gone and it was all charged on the card! I was iffy about a 20% tip because the waitress was gone for long periods of times (like when everyone's plates were gone and we waited 30 minutes after for the check). But in the end I got scammed for a 60% tip. When I made the reservation, I put down it was my brithday so they m ew it was my birthday, but there goes all ky birthday money and then some. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

My niece was in the mood for steak so we decided this was the place parking lot was full. We walked up and were seated immediately salad bar was delicious and then the main course. All of the steaks were delicious today that tri-tip stood out as the most flavorful service was excellent. How can you go wrong with all you can eat steak from a steakhouse we will return.

This is the place you wanna take someone to show that you value the old school. You want someone to feel like you're taking care of them? Come here and have them be served like money isn't an option. And while it's not the most inexpensive option. It is absolutely worth coming to see what it's all about.

The place was amazing. Excellent service. Made reservation got sat down right. Service was great. Food was delicious. Hard to get a picture of everything they are serving since they're coming by and slicing it fresh. Dessert was also incredible. Had a coconut cream pie with ice cream on top. Made it hard to have a stack pile on my plate. But wow was really good

Instead of a traditional Thanksgiving, we celebrate STEAKSgiving. So each year we try different steak houses for late lunch/early dinner. TdB is always great. They have the best salad bar of all the churrascos. So many great choices including, potatoes au gratin to tabouli to salads and veggies. You won't go wrong there. The steak is the real star and it comes out fast and furious and never ending if you can handle it. The servers are always enthusiastic about their cut of meat and are willing to give you as much as you want. There's too many cuts to list, but the picanha and garlic filet stick out as most memorable. The restaurant is lively and comfortable. Perfect for eating as much steak as humanly possible.

We celebrated my nieces bday, and it was a special treat. It is an all you can eat place w a scrumptious and elegant soup and salad bar w wait staff bringing different types of meat to you as long as you flip your coaster to green (if you'd like a break then flip it over to red). It's a busy restaurant which seemed to accommodate large parties such as family events and company parties. There is one entrance from the outside of the mall next to where the Cheesecake Factory is. You can order side dishes like the Brazilian cheese bread, which was delightful. I also enjoyed the cinnamon glazed banana dish, which was nice and sweet. The salad bar is beautifully presented w lots of options to make your own dish. It complements the meat well. I enjoyed having a side of fresh salmon and capers which elevated my salad. The meat was delicious as well. I loved all the different types, but wasn't as big of a fan of the lamb flavors, but not gonna minus a star because I'm just not a lamb type of girl:) all in all it was a great night

The meat was absolutely delicious ! We went for Mother's Day dinner. Our server took 10-15 min to greet us and get our drink orders. The server looked like he hated his job the free sides were cold- garlic mashed potatoes, fries , cheese balls and sweet plantain (this one was delicious). For the price we didn't enjoy the service or atmosphere but we did get good food .

It was a good experience. The food was very good. Price I feel was reasonable. Not recommended for people with Celiacs Disease as most of the food is marinated with Soy Sauce.

They screw up every pickup order I make. This time they forgot the cheese bites. Last time it was the Brazilian sausage. Before that it was two large items we ordered and paid for and got smalls. Why is it so hard? We ordered 7 items, they put 6 in the bag. Doesn't seem tough to me to count 6 items and realize one is missing. They told me I could come back and get the missing item. 15 minutes there, of course it's not ready and waiting so a 10 minute wait, 15 minutes back home to cold food. Ask them if they could comp something to make up for it and they refused so obviously they don't care. $100 dinner and I have to deal with this every time. Guess I have learned my lesson finally. Hopefully this review helps you not make the same mistake.

Been wanting to go here since they opened but Covid put a damper on that for a while. Finally decided to try it out. I called to confirm their hours of operation and they are not what I expected and somewhat limited so I am glad that I checked. I also did not hear anything about needing a reservation. We were at the movie theater in the mall and wanted a late lunch so we went a little after 3 when they opened on a Saturday. We entered to find a few people waiting and some that were already seated. The hostess was on the phone and another person came over but she ignored us too. When the hostess got off the phone she asked us if we had a reservation and I said I did not, and I did not realize that we needed one. She said that we were lucky it was raining otherwise we would have been stuck out on the outdoor patio. I did not appreciate her attitude and considering that there were plenty of open tables I am not sure what she was talking about. Luckily, after that, everything else was top notch. Our server was incredible, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and attentive. She offered up suggestions, made sure that some meats were sent over to our table that do not come out very often at all, and she filled my water at least 10 times. She also brought clean plates a few times. The salad bar is appealing and you can just eat that if you want, I think it around $28 and definitely has enough to feed the average person with cheeses, soups, salads, salmon, beans, rice, etc. But the star of the show is all of the Brazilian meats that come out on skewers and are cut on to your plate. It is around $55 for the whole meal experience. There are about 11 or 12 different meats that come out, so pace yourself and don't fill up on salad bar items if you want to try them all out. You just have to flip your card over to red to stop the meat menagerie, or leave it on green and they will keep coming with a meat parade. 1 thing I did not like was that they have fake desserts sitting out on top of the salad bar and there is no mention that they are an extra fee, and the server told us about this and it did seem deceiving. But who has room for desserts after eating the delicious salad bar items, the meats, the plantains, french fries, and mashed potatoes. The server also warned us that the meats are done in a traditional Brazilian style so plenty of salt and seasoning, and to use the plantains to cleanse the palate in between, that was a great tip. The layout of the tables is kind of annoying as it seems like you are always having to navigate around people to get to the salad bar, and it seems very tight, hard to navigate. It is not very feng shui and someone should redesign the layout.

Ordered to go! Portions were tiny. Like one rib for the combo meal. Worst cuts of meet given. could not even chew some of it. Sides were tasty. But way overpriced and just not good meat! First and last time I will order from here.

The food was amazing so many different things to choose from o think it's 13 different types of meat and the salad bar is one huge charcuterie board that's fantastic. Really nice atmosphere so it can be a little fancy or not all depends on what you're going for. The service is outstanding !!! Big shout out to Issac he was our server on Saturday night for our 3rd anniversary and he was so attentive, nice, and thoughtful. He really made our night. Thanks again Issac. Price isn't bad at all 55 bucks per person and it's all you can eat people. Go check it out you won't be disappointed

It's not my first time having dinner here, tonight was incredibly disappointing. Our servers attitude was awful. In addition, not sure if it was where our party was seated that contributed to the servers not offering cuts at our table as often as other tables. Our bill was around $300 for 4 adults and one child (no alcoholic beverages, just a lemonade pitcher and a soft drink). I hope the servers attention to all tables improves. We were incredibly dissatisfied with tonight's service.

Booked a reservation for a saturday birthday dinner, we checked in with the host and was seated within minutes. Host greeted us happy birthday and explained everything and suggested some drinks. Server was just ok, she seemed uninterested, and not eager to talk. Meat selection was good, they do come out every few minutes which was great. I think we were able to taste everything. The hot food and cold food selection was also great. I liked the lobster bisque, it had a little heat in it. The scalloped potatoes were also good and the french fries was crispy as well.

Great food, great service. We went for a birthday celebration for our first visit. They did not have any special birthday celebrations from the staff

This was my second time at this location, and I was even more disappointed. While the hostess was friendly, the waiter lacked enthusiasm. The meat was overcooked and way too salty, with my favorite cut, Picanha, coming out charred. I prefer my meat medium-rare, but everything was well done. This used to be one of my favorite spots, but the quality has really declined. It's no longer the enjoyable experience I once loved. Not sure I'll return.

The food was marvelous! The variety of juicy succulent steaks and meats was overwhelming in a beautiful way for us meat lovers. Medium to medium well is the usual cuts of glory that fell onto my plate. My wife eats well done, no problem they go to the back and bring it for you. Service is what you want and expect. Fast, attentive, and polite. You turn the small sticker on red they stop bringing meat; you forget to turn it and leave it on green it's an all-you-can-eat competition and I promise you will not win they just keep coming. It was a great service experience. The ambiance was delightful, classy, and not crowded. Although I do wish the tables were a bit bigger or remove the centerpieces, with four people and two plates each it is hard to enjoy completely because you worry you will drop a plate. This is a must-try if you are in oceanside.

We had a fantastic dinner at this location. All the staff was very kind, friendly, and attentive. They meats were all perfectly cooked and the salad bar had delicious and fresh food. Dishes were constantly being refilled and the salad bar was very clean as well. We would definitely come back to dine here again.

We come here every so often because the food is amazing. We have never had an issue with anything here before until we went on Valentine's Day and in particular it was with the main host (male in suit) that was seating people. I understand it is busy and we were more than patient when we were told they were running behind and we had to wait longer for our reservation. We walked the mall in the meantime and came back around the estimated time they said they would need to be able to seat us. When we did return they called my name and I walked inside past the large line of people waiting. Absolutely not exaggerating but it took less than a minute for us to come to the front and less than 30 seconds to when they sent the text message to let us know it was ready. We let him know he called our name and then he told we were too late and that someone else was in front of us and that we had to wait again. He made no attempt to even talk to us after he said that and that's when I spoke to the other hosts and they were the ones that helped us be seated after. I absolutely love this place and come here frequently, the ambiance is great, the food is amazing, and all the other staff has been nothing but great but this one particular staff member was so bad and this is complete speculation but we believe it had something to do with stereotyping because he was overly friendly with the caucasian couple he helped before us but didn't bat an eye when it came to helping us.
