Texas de Brazil - Irvine

We went there for late Easter lunch (ended up being dinner price because of Easter; $460 for 6 people with sodas and lemonade, excluding tip, we didn’t get any desserts). Service and food were very good. Skewers of meat kept coming to our table rapidly. Not my first time at this location. We had our Christmas party there in 2019-40 to 45 people-and have been there for lunch a few times.

As a vegetarian a lot of people find it funny this is my favorite restaurant of all time. I eat from the salad bar and the vegetarian options are so fresh and amazing it really leaves nothing to be desired. Pão de queijo with chimichurri is heaven. Highly recommend. (They do walk around with meat on sticks and often times they cross you to serve other people on the table. So just as head up if you don't like the smell of meat or literary having it right on your face) servers are great and attentive. Also even though this was like my 20th time here I was told that when you're eating salad bar only you should tell your server not the host. Otherwise you're billed a regular meal.

A party of nine, came to celebrate my sister’s match day for her residency. Our waitress did not pass the vibe check (Short, soft spoken Latin lady). She was not friendly and did not seem happy to be there. Agreed when I asked if the sparkling water was complimentary, which were actually $9 per bottle and decided to bring me 3 bottles for some reason. Also said the cakes slices were free but charged us $30 per slice. Very sneaky waitress that wanted to have us spend as much money as possible. Charged us extra $15 for the “remainder of a strawberry margarita” that she brought with the drink that we did NOT even order. She tried to pass everything off as free/complimentary. Such a scam. Ask questions. Do not get taken advantage of! Beware of that waitress in particular. Just weird. Will not be returning.

The variety of meats was great, and everything tasted excellent. However, the tables were placed too close together, which made it a bit uncomfortable.

I visited the Texas de Brazil Irvine location on July 20, 2025 around 4:25 PM with a friend to celebrate his birthday. Unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. We had a reservation through OpenTable and noted that it was for a birthday celebration. Even though the restaurant was nearly empty, we were seated at a small table near the entrance that felt more like being outside than inside. I asked to be moved, and while they did move us, it was to another small table that wasn't much better. Our server Kathy took our drink orders and asked about our meat preferences. We clearly requested well-done only. I also showed her a 15 percent off coupon from the Retail Therapy app by Irvine Company and mentioned the $20 birthday reward. She said both were fine to use. Throughout the meal we continued receiving medium-rare meats with visible blood, even though we reminded multiple servers that we only wanted well-done. We received maybe one piece that was actually cooked the way we asked. A manager with glasses and an accent came by, and when we explained the seating and meat issues, he was dismissive and said something like “You’re bringing me money, so next time let me know and I’ll seat you better.” No apology, no offer to fix anything. When the check came, the discount was not applied. I asked our server and she said the manager would handle it. After about ten minutes he returned, and instead of asking how our experience was, he scanned the coupon himself and then accused me of having used it in 2024, even though he had just redeemed it. I explained that this did not make sense and even asked my friend to redeem it from his app, which produced the same static code. The manager still refused and told us to contact the app ourselves. The difference between the two discounts was less than two dollars. It was never about the money but about how poorly we were treated. On top of that there was no effort to celebrate the birthday beyond the initial greeting. No dessert, no small gesture, nothing. Most concerning of all, both of us experienced food poisoning later that night. We believe it was from the undercooked meat we had specifically asked to be well done. I emailed the restaurant afterward with our receipt and coupon attached, but no one resolved the issue or offered a refund. This was our first visit to Texas de Brazil and unfortunately it will be our last. A special day turned into a very disappointing and frustrating experience. I hope management takes this feedback seriously.

for the first time ever, I award a quadruple yum (yumyumyumyum) score to Texas de Brazil in Irvine. Until this evening, I did not think I'd ever find an eatery that would exceed my previous max triple yum score. we were a party of five people for my daughter's 21st birthday celebration, and the experience was wonderful. The server was amazing, the food terrific, the drink great, and the desserts very yummy. Additionally, the manager spent about 20 minutes giving a tour of the buffet to my daughter, going over ingredients in great detail to ensure she had a trouble free dinner. I travel extensively, and am fortunate to experience great eateries regularly. Texas de Brazil Irvine is now my top recommendation for a wonderful night out. I repeat...yumyumyumyum

Ramon was an incredible help!! we appreciate his superior customer service in helping my party create a reservation for dinner. He is a great asset to Texas De Brazil! his kindness and intention with helping us is unmatched!

We have celebrated my son’s birthday here and I have been overwhelmed and overjoyed by the quality of this restaurant!!! 7 stars!!! The food is so fresh and delicious and the servers have been so nice and friendly!!! In eight years of US I can tell by far this is the best restaurant I have been to with best service and atmosphere!! I will return here with joy and I congratulate the owner for such an outstanding team, service and delicious dinner!! I strongly recommend this place if you want to have the best dinning experience of your life!!!!

Thank you so much!! Thank you so much!! Thank you so much!! Thank you so much!! Thank you so much!! I love Meat! God bless you!!!

Came here on valentines night, and really regretted it. Checked in for my 5:45 reservation at around 5:35-5:40. The host couldn't find my reservation, i show her my reservation confirmation to see if that would help. And the guy next to her says "confirmation means nothings to us". I was not even talking to this person. She finally finds my reservation and says it'll be 30-45 mins. To which obviously i was like umm i have a reservation. Then this guy goes again "well cant you see all these people are waiting, we are overbooked, don't you see the signs at the door" At that point i ask him who is he and why does he keep chiming in when i am not even talking to him. Turns out he is the MANAGER. David. He had a terrible attitude. It's not my fault you guys overbooked. We end up sitting down 30 mins later. The food was so salty. The open bar kept running out of stuff. Our table was in the middle of 2 tables and i couldn't even extend my elbows to eat because people keep walking past my table and pushing my arm. This was one horrible experience that i don't recommend to anyone. $200 down the drain Also the sign that david was referring to said "all reservations have a 30 mins grace period" That message to me means i can be 30 mins late to my reservation without it being cancelled. In no way any one is interpreting that to be you will be sat 30 mins later. This was a very bad experience and this manager david does not know how to work under stress. Funny how when we told the server, his response was "oh yea that sounds like david" Sad how even your employees know you don't know how to work under stress.

We dropped by TdB in Irvine, after golfing at nearby Tustin Ranch. TdB is your typical churrascaria, serving AYCE meat brought to your table, and a buffet featuring salads, soup and feijoda. Positives: Most of the meat was very good, esp the signature picanha. We also had sirloin, spicy steak, sausage, pork ribs and lamb; The desserts were also very good. I had the coconut pie, and there was plenty of fresh coconut. The scoop of ice cream was massive; Our waiter, Ivan was friendly & attentive. Two managers stopped by to make sure we were getting everything we needed; The meat servers were mainly friendly, primarily the fellow serving the picanha. Negatives: A Mgr tried to seat us in the bar, altho we had a res via Open Table. I loathe this practice. I requested the dining room via Open Table. Tables in the bar are for peeps w/o rezzies when the restaurant is full. The restaurant was not full; We brought our own wine. Our waiter opened the wine, but did not pour the wine. Sorry, but we paid a corkage fee. The waiter should pour the wine; The lobster bisque didn't have any lobster, and the feijoda didn't have any sausage; The buffet items were limited. The positives outweigh the negatives. I would come here again when I am in the area. Keep in mind the prices are high here. However, you receive a $20 off coupon for two if you sign up for emails.

Came here on Valentine's Day weekend so the place was packed. The staff handled it well, though! The place is clean and the service was quite efficient despite the crowd. They had an array of hot and cold dishes at the salad bar so there were plenty of choices. You also get sides like the famous brazilian cheese bread served at the table alongside mashed potatoes, fries, and candied plantains. We ordered cocktails and they do not hold back on the alcohol so you definitely get your money's worth on that. The main event is the meat, of course! They had a variety of selections so make sure to bring a massive appetite. My favorites are the steaks and sausage. The staff does a great job with the meat rotation too, so you're not offered the same kind too soon. By the end of the meal, it will be unlikely that there's room for dessert. Great experience and service!

2/9/25 weekend lunch birthday My family and I are regulars at this location so we don't really need an excuse to come. We love Brazilian picahna and lamb chops. My husband chose this as his birthday lunch so we came to enjoy our favorite place. We had a pleasure of getting Alex as our server. He was the NICEST most down to earth server we have ever had. He was sincere, kind, ATTENTIVE and made sure our meat requests were all received. Unlike past experiences, the result would go in and 20mins we were still waiting. Not today, he was checking up on us every 5mins just to ensure our dining experience was super. We never had empty glasses or empty side dishes. He was extra sweet to my girls. Even my 8 year old said, "wow, mom, he is super good!" I later asked him why we hadn't seen him before. Turns out, he is new to this location. This place definitely got a 10 star server added to their list. I hope he stays at this location. Anyone who wants awesome service should request for him. We wanted to send him a special shout out on here. Thank you, Alex for making our dining experience exceptional!

Really great experience. All the meat was super good and the salad bar had a great variety. The salad bar was unlimited but if you are there to try all the meat I suggest not getting to much at the salad bar so you don't fill up on meat, because the meat can get heavy at a certain point. After you're done with the meat you can get more from the salad bar to help with all the meat juices. They have a large variety of drinks too we had their special cocktails and it was really good. If you get it with a double shot that is really all you need for the night. There is also a desert menu that they bring replicas out for you to see too. The vibes were super classy and at your table you can say if you want meat or not with this little disk that is green on one side and red on the other. The staff is also really nice and accommodating. They overheard us talking about getting chimichurri sauce and they got it for us. Overall great experience. But if you are thinking about going, I recommend getting a reservation because there was an hour and a half wait when we got there, we got there around 7.

Bartender was amazing! We love her! We had a surprise dinner for our boss and the hosts did not want to fit us down unless all the party was there. Most of the party was our boss family who he was with. I spoke with a manager and we got sat right away. We felt as if we were rushed to pay the bill and get out. It was pretty unpleasant. Service needs a lot of work.

The food here was delicious! I came on New Years Eve at noon and it was dinner menu/price all day ($66.99). I don't know which meats are not served during lunch, but the variety for the dinner menu is plentiful. They don't have hot seafood, just cold shrimp and smoked salmon at the salad bar. My favorite cuts of meats were the lamb sirloin, lamb chops, picanha (steak sirloin), Brazilian sausage, and spicy cubed steak. Everything else is had was good except for the leg of lamb, which was too dry for my liking. Salad bar has a lot of delicious items as well! While they service overall was great, there were two meat carvers who was unfriendly and extremely rude. The server who was wearing a mask serving the steak picanha expected me to remember what the meat was. He had come by one other time and we got a piece from him and when he came back again, I asked what it was because it looked a lot like the lamb sirloin (rolled up in the same fashion as the steak picanha). He responds with an eye roll and tells me, "Its what I brought to you before!" I felt like I owed him money and an apology for existing. He comes back another time throwing down the circular plate that catches the meat skewer/juices and it spilled the meat juice all over my table next to my plate. He didn't offer to clean it up and goes about his business. I asked my server to come and give me more napkins to wipe up his mess - our kind server wiped it up for us. The other meat server guy (wears glasses) who was also unfriendly with a bad attitude was serving the garlic cubed steak/ spicy cubed steak. Overall, I'd give this place much higher stars if it were for those two negative meat servers.... would I come back again and recommend this place? Yep! But be wary of some of the attitude from the meat carvers.

Great service by the hostess and all of the servers, including the meat carvers. The salad bar provided a nice variety and was kept well preserved and fresh. It included unique and delicious items such as a crispy cucumber salad, roasted garlic, smoked salmon and a shrimp dish, as well as beets that were just amazing. Loved the Lobster Bisque and the potatoes au gratin! The meat varieties and quality were excellent. We especially loved the filet mignon, garlic sirloin, and the Picanha! The tenderness and tastiness of the chicken options were also impressive. The key lime pie was just the right amount of sweet and tangy! On the weekends, lunch and dinner menu options and prices are the same.

The food was awesome and the service was great! We did have a huge group and the the servers did a great jobs with everyone. We were put out side at night but the heaters were perfect for keeping us warm and if it got to hot they would open the drapes to mitigate the heat

This is a great place to go...especially great if you are on the carnivore diet or really, really hungry! We came in at 4:45pm for 4:30-6pm happy hour. They serve drinks before 5pm, but just an FYI...you can't order bar food until 5pm. The bartender was nice but she was very busy and needed more help. We didn't have to wait long after we ordered our food, but it took a long time to get the bill and to pay it. It was fine for us, but another couple wanted our bar seats and had to wait until we could pay. If you want to hit happy hour, seating at the bar is limited, so get there before 5. The thing I love at the bar is that when you order food they also bring you Brazilian cheese bread), fried bananas, and garlic mashed potatoes. All yummy

First time and here's my review. Positives: The meats were tasty. My favorite was filet mignon wrapped in bacon. Some of the meats were too fatty or salty for me but that's my preference. Salad bar had a lot of fresh produce. I made a huge salad that paired well with the meats. My friend got the rice and loved it but I didn't try it. They had corn soup that was surprisingly really good. I made the reservation online and it was super easy. The bathrooms were clean. Negatives: they didn't greet us when we walked in a took a lot of time before helping us. No goodbye either from the host stand. Service was friendly but the a few of the people serving meat would say "tongs right there" instead of "tongs please," which felt rude at times. No one refilled our waters so we had to flag someone each time. My friend said we were celebrating an anniversary but they didn't do anything special. The restaurant seems a bit cramped and the servers didn't seem to have much organization. Overall, it was a decent experience. Still very nice but not my favorite Brazilian BBQ. I highly recommend taking a digestive before eating to process the food better. I skipped the carbs to eat more meats. My friend did the rookie mistake and got so full fast after all the rice. 7/10 rating

I've had the opportunity of visiting the Irvine location many times. With each visit our experience has been consistently pleasant. The servers are kind and if you visit on a weekday the wait time is usually minimal. If you plan on visiting during the weekend it would be wise to make a reservation. Once you are seated the server will explain the process of how to use your little circle to request meat or how to decline. The establishment is clean and sanitary, which is very important for a Brazilian steakhouse especially since the meats travel from table to table. I'm always concerned about cross-contamination, the occasional sneezing, or other unpleasant things, but I've noticed that they're really protective of the meat when it comes around the table and there's special utensil that you can use to pull your slice off the skewer which is a great idea. We went for my daughter's birthday and were given a free dessert, which is an extra bonus. There is a vast variety of foods even if you are vegetarian there's something for you. The salad bar is fully loaded with a variety of different cold salads to choose from. I personally think it's worth the price and if you get an opportunity to purchase a deal on the gift cards take advantage of it!

This place is an absolute gem! We have been here once before and regret going anywhere else for Brazilian Churrasco. Don't waste your money anywhere else and make the trip to Irvine. This place is where casual dining meets upscale in a beautiful way. You can be at ease in a casual setting while getting the service of an upscale dining experience and everyone is here to play. We actually got here a little early for our 5pm reservation. The door was slightly open and they let us in and offered us the bar to sit at while we waited. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE greeted us and just overall the welcome was exactly what I expected. Warm, Welcoming, and Inviting. The whole area was clean as it was already set for dinner service. I'm going to jump into the drinks first since we hit the bar first: The Bartender Laura was amazing. Contributing to the welcoming vibe. She went straight into a welcome and then went over the drink menu with us. She gave recommendations and they were wonderful. Her technique was great as well when it came to making the drinks. DRINKS: Caipirinha - Traditional Lime Essentially this is a Mojito without the mint. This was delicious and standard for the drink itself. I got exactly what I expected. Caipirinha - Passion Fruit The Passion Fruit was actually not super sweet. It was a Caipirinha with a passion fruit puree. Built perfectly to allow all of the flavors to come together nicely DINING EXPERIENCE: Lupe was our server. We told her we had been here only once before and she explained how everything worked and also a little history. I think these things just help show the pride of the people working and it was not a long intro as it only took about 20-30 seconds. I want to point out that when she came by to fill our water cups she actually had a napkin to prevent any oversplash from getting on the table or our other drinks (pictured). This was amazing and a great idea! One of the Gauchos Stefhan (people who walk around the meat) remembered my wife liked more well done meats and said he would be back for her and he ACTUALLY DID haha. The Gauchos overall are very attentive, they always have a nice vibrant energy and really engage with you even if just for the few moments of serving the food. It is hard to spend time on all the neats but overall the meats are not overly salted, they are juicy and amazing. We went to another place in Beverly Hills which I will not name but I gave feedback that that is just the flavor of it, well this place proves that wrong a million times over. I apologize for not having pictures of the meat. It was so delicious that I was more focused on consuming it haha. OPPORTUNITIES: Parmesan Pork: Overly salty, I assume from the cheese itself and it was on the dryer side. Full Table Reset: They bussed the table next to us but missed the seats and the floor. There were some crumbs left on the chair as well as some minimal food debris on the floor from when the previous people dropped their knife earlier. OVERALL: Overall I believe the numerous things that made this experience amazing outweigh the little details that were missed. 100% I would recommend it and we will definitely be back.

Disappointing food and service. I've been to other Brazilian steakhouses before (like Fogo de Chao), but this was my first time at Texas de Brazil. Salad bar was ok, but lacked variety. The raved about lobster bisque was thin and watery -- not sure if there was even actual lobster in there. Meat quality was ok. Server was completely inattentive - waited over 20 minutes for a refill on water, which is unacceptable imo. Then, he brought out the check where we were charged $15/pp more than the advertised price on the menu. Between the lackluster food and service, I don't see any reason to return.

8.5/10 Overall: I am such a sides girl and compared to Fogo, this place blew my mind! They had so many side dishes, cheeses, and soups that were incredibly delicious! I loved the lobster bisque and their smoked salmon was incredible. Their meats were also delicious and the service was quick! There was a point where we had to tell them to stop since we weren't able to catch up. I'm not a huge fan of beef so my personal favorites were the lamb chops and sausage. Some of their picanha was a bit tough to me. The ambiance was also very beautiful, would def go here over fogo.

Amazing flow of various Steak & meats. Those guys keep coming around. Great ambiance & service!!! Top Sirloin & Sausages were our favorites. We'll be back for more.

Went here last weekend for a friend's birthday. Heard good stuff about this place from several people who came here and boy was I severely disappointed. I'm not going to start with how one of the waiters broke my friends water glass and spilled water all over the table. The waiter was very apologetic about the whole situation and cleaned up the whole thing. The fact they didn't give us any new utensils and had to wait for them and ask for them was the issue. The biggest issue was how often the meat came. Most of the time I was waiting for a meat person to come by, the one time I did wave someone by he served the other guests at the table but not me (the guy who waved you down in the first place) The person serving us also seemed very slow. Dunno if she had other tables, etc. but I wanted to order a second drink I was kind of over it because she took so long to check our table if we needed anything. The meat itself also isn't anything special compared to other Brazilian BBQ. Depending on the cut of the meat it was just about the same or sometimes worse. One of the servers served a steak on the more well done side even though we asked for more on the medium side. Maybe I went on a bad night, there were a decent amount of people there but from where we were seated you can easily see other tables get there meat pretty fast compared to us. For what we paid, almost $100/person with drinks, in the area we were, a nice part of Irvine, I felt totally ripped off for the type of service and quality of food we got. I would really give this place a 1.5/5. The only real redeeming quality is of the host who was very apologetic about messing our table up. Again maybe we came on a bad night, maybe the spot we sat in its hard for servers to see. I'm willing to try it again in like 6 months or something. Maybe something will change? I wouldn't recommend this place to friends and family though.

Not new to Brazilian churrascaria but we wanted to try someplace new for our Anniversary. The two star review is directed to the service that we received at this particular reservation. We were sat for outdoor seating and I immediately asked if the service would be the same as indoor and I was assured that it was. While the meats came out quickly and delicious, two meats were missing with the rotation, the Picanha and the Mignon. I requested on multiple occasions for our server to kindly send some our way but never made it to our table. Instead, more offerings outside of the two that I had requested kept coming to our table. At this point, I began to think that we have become the butt of the joke with the staff. Frustration has set in

Walk in was about 1hr 30 minutes on a Saturday (as expected) . Gentlemen in the entrance were very friendly and polite . Our waitress was very friendly but not as attentive. We waited so long between , refills , dessert and our bill to come . I always judge a place from their restroom and let me tell you . I was shocked ! It was filthy . Paper towels on the floor( feminine products) yuck and not very clean . The way they display their toilet paper looks so tacky . Servers will bring a lot of meats to us pretty often so i was able to try a couple and it was very delicious.

Food was delicious! The Top sirloin was delicious! The restaurant itself is nice, the patio is alright. The service at the front is touch slow, especially for 2:00pm on a Wednesday. The staff was friendly tho, regardless. Will come again! Less busy than Irvine spectrum!

I recently found that Texas de Brazil was now on Grubhub. Even more to my delight, I found that I could just order the meats in half pound increments to be delivered to my doorstep. The first time I ordered I got a pound of brazilian sausages, a pound of barbequed pork ribs, a half pound of leg of lamb and some chimichurri for $63.25 (after tip/fees/tax). The sausages and ribs were divine and cooked PERFECTLY (a few of the sausages were hard, you could tell they were from a different skewer). The lamb was a little over, but its always over when I sit down at the restaurant as well. The chimichurri was ok. I got so many sausages in the pound that I was able to use the leftovers for breakfast with an omelet I made. The second time I ordered a pound of the sausages, a pound of the ribs and a half pound of the flank steak. The ribs were not good this time, they were overcooked and rubbery. The sausages were great again but the star was the flank steak. Perfectly cooked between rare and medium rare. The flavor was insane. Once again so many sausages I made another omelet with some leftover scalloped potatoes as well. I will keep ordering from here as long as they remain on Grubhub!!!

Here's my honest review .. love coming here but just came in for Vday... wouldn't recommend to come on Vday. We had reservations and were seated in 30 Mins. There were so many couples waiting and the restaurant was incredibly full.. which made me feel they probably overbooked.. which gave me a disappointing experience. It took a while for us to get the cuts of meats .. we weren't offered all the meat items ... also the salad bar used to be a lot better. It's so expensive to have very little meat items offered . The meats in general were all good but very limited options ... u could tell the servers were exhausted and tired .. I would recommend next time for this place to maintain its great food not to overbook on those special occasions

Updating this review because our waiter this time around, I think his name was Jeremiah, was outstanding! It's so hard to find good service these days, but he went above and beyond. We had a toddler and newborn at the table and Jeremiah even checked how he would like his meat cooked & brought over French fries (that were also SO tasty). He gave suggestions when we ordered drinks/desserts, made sure the meat our table wanted was brought out, was extremely attentive, and took extra precautions that there were no nuts in our dessert choices because we had a few people with nut allergies at the table. Separate from that, I had originally been nervous to return here as the reviews were VERY mixed on Yelp. From my experience last night, the salad bar was fully stocked with salad & hot dishes as well (hot shrimp dish, lobster bisque, rice & black beans, potato gratin, mushrooms). Everything seemed clean and fresh for a buffet (obviously it will never be perfect if you are at a buffet, but I have no complaints on cleanliness). The only thing I was disappointed by was the lobster bisque (surprisingly), but maybe it just wasn't for me! Everyone at the table seemed satisfied with the meat options.

This is the best experience I have ever had! I'm blown away with the service. Everyone was so kind and went out of their way to make us feel special. I am here for my husband's bday. The service is fast and attentive. I am here on a Wednesday and it is packed. The food is amazing. My favorite so far have been the spicy sirloin, shrimp, bacon wrapped filet mignon, and sausage. Wow! Amazing! I like the decor. It's very open with dim light setting. It's very romantic for a date night. Or good for a business dinner. Overall, it's been a great experience. This one is better than the one in Vegas and better than the one in Riverside. The service is amazing and the food is great. Btw, thank you to the older man host. He took a pic of my hubby and me when we first arrived. He offered and I'm glad he did. Great emotional intelligence. I'm glad we have that picture. The only recommendation I have is PLEASE add Tres Leches to your menu.

Better than fogo and the food is always delicious. It's very clean inside and so is the food/ salad too. I haven't had bad service t there but it's obvious when they get slammed that there isn't enough hot/ ready food to serve. Also when you're there for 30-40 min they start to ignore you. I went in a party of 7 and as I mentioned they just kept walking around / past us without even looking at us. I had to wave a couple of people down just so I didn't leave (still) hungry. Kind of disappointing the last time I went. But it's better than fogo like I said

Very good food and service! Tony was very attentive and nice. He even overheard us talking about condensed milk lemonade so he offered to get us some even though it's not on the menu anymore. Very impressed! Was my first time trying it and it was delicious. In general I think this place has the best limeade (with or without the condensed milk). Tony was so attentive he even knew we wanted to split a strawberry mango lemonade (to try since the limeade was so good) without us even mentioning it to him so he got two straws for us LOL. My favorite meat was the New York surprisingly. Most of the other meat I didn't really care for but I feel like that's a preference thing since my friends and family enjoyed the other meats just as much.

My friend surprised me with a birthday dinner at Texas de Brazil. The ambiance and service were top notch. We ordered the caipirinhas in strawberry, passion fruit, and lime. They were all delicious! $12 for a double during HH. The salad bar was well stocked with fresh salads, deli meats, cheeses, fruit, fresh veggies, and soup. The couscous salad was especially delicious. As soon as we sat down, the meats started rolling in. We had top sirloin, filet mignon, lamb, chorizo, bacon wrapped chicken and shrimp, and a spicy beef that was divine! They will fill you up on sides too! Mashed potatoes, fresh bread, French fries, and cinnamon sugar fried bananas were included with our meal. At just under $70pp for a delicious dinner, I thought it was an epic value. I've spent triple that at steakhouses that weren't even this good. I will definitely come hungrier next time I visit because I did not get to try everything. I will pass on the dessert next time. The sauce was liquor based and very bitter. It completely ruined our cakes. Make reservations because the restaurant gets very busy. This is an AYCE establishment. No to go boxes will be provided for leftovers. Keep in mind the salad bar is self serve with many high touch surfaces.

The meat was yummy and so was the salad bar and soup, and I like that they give separate plate of plantains and they have grilled pineapple. I wish they had the meats come out faster however. They kept repeating the same meats (Picanha, sausage, chicken) The service could use a lot more work however. It kinda sucked, they're barely come to your table and you definitely have to flag everyone down. It's very hard to flag people down and the meats while they were delicious, the same meats kept coming around you have to request of sometimes it'll just pass by you. The interior is spacious and more of a Hispanic style/vibe to it so it looks more fun and inviting than upscale. But beautiful nonetheless. I'd give it five if the service was more attentive and they tried to service the variety if food that is on the menu

We went for dinner. And the service was slow, meats werent coming up as often as they should've. The main reason i am writing this review is because it was very disappointing to be up charged for extra shots in my drinks and desert. I didnt request. When I went to give my child flan, the waitress yelled saying no it has alcohol! So i had to request a different flan. I was charged for both, As well as them adding ice cream to flan, which i thought was how they served the desert, turned out that was also un upcharge. By the time we got the bill, everything served hadnt been disclosed had individual upcharges. The waitress had took upon herself to add. We paid the bill. But I will not be returning.

TLDR; good service, lots of tasty meat I took my friend here to celebrate his birthday for lunch. We got there around 12, so it was still relatively empty but everything was set; the salad bar was beautiful (love the salmon and pineapple carpaccio, the latter being thinly sliced pineapple with flambéed sugar on top) and the meats were perfectly medium-rare. The service was on point (our waiter was wonderful and made sure we got our requested meats). We especially enjoyed the lamb leg and fillet mignon! The restaurant was clean and the vibes were good. It was fairly quiet because we came early, but I'm sure that it would be quite lively when it gets busy. Brazilian cheese balls were also awesome!!

Came here for my parent's anniversary and Nathan our waiter was amazing! He was attentive, courteous, and overall super helpful with it being our first time. There's a ton of side options and great meats! The place is very well kept and organized even for a Saturday. We had a great time and definitely coming back

Had dinner here while visiting family. We normally eat at a different chain churrascaria in the Orlando area and thought we would try Texas de Brazil since we had not been to one in awhile. The salad bars are usually mind blowing in these restaurants but this one was so so. It did not have as many items as we were expecting. The lobster bisque tasted off. The sides (French, fries, mashed potatoes, bananas) came out while we were eating salad so they were cold by the time the meats started coming around. The drinks were good. The server was efficient and friendly. The gauchos came around regularly and were nice. But it was super loud, super bright, and just didn't measure up to what we are accustomed to. It lacked the upscale atmosphere of the other chain we regularly go to.

Came here for a date night on Saturday with a reservation. We were seated very quickly as soon as we arrived. This is not our first time at a Brazilian steakhouse but it was our first time at Texas de Brazil. I love the sides here; garlic mashed potatoes, fried bananas, french fries and of course, pao de quejio. My favorite meats were the top sirloin and filet mignon. Compared to other Brazilian steakhouses, I felt that it didn't have as much variety but I did enjoy the ones that I tried. Our server was so nice and would definitely come back!

Overall, we will be dining here again! Good vibe, available and friendly staff as well as delicious food. The only hiccup was the restroom. We did leave close to closing time but it was awful. It's a shame adults can't clean up after themselves but that's the world we live in.

Texas de Brazil steakhouse has phenomenal food and outstanding service. I also love the restaurants, decor, and ambience.

Had reservations got there 5 minutes early, and they told me we had to wait for a table as they had 12 parties ahead of us. How Do you allow reservations but not have tables ready for when the reservation shows up. We waited like 40 minutes to be seated with reservations. The server sucked are appetizers came like 15 minutes after we started eating , the meat guys were few a far between.at one point we waited over twenty minutes for meat. The waitress for the table next to us put her ass in our food because they have the tables so close together. This place is very poorly managed

3.5 stars (3 stars for food, 4 stars for service) I had a birthday $20 off discount to use, but also found an old Texas de Brazil gift card in the car. Usually gift cards are treated like cash so you can still use coupons and then apply a gift card toward the bill, but Texas de Brazil explicitly forbids using discounts and gift cards simultaneously, so since the gift card was for more than $20, I used my gift card instead. Parking was easy as this Texas de Brazil is located in the Market Place with lots of parking. The interior is beautiful and actually smaller than I expected; aside from some outdoor seating and a few tables by the bar, it's just one large room. Our waitress Gabriella was the highlight of the meal, so gracious and attentive. They even asked if we preferred our meat medium rare versus medium, which I assume is then communicated to the gauchos. Dinner is $64.99 + tax as of July 2024. They do offer a salad bar only option (even for dinner), which is more affordable. This makes Texas de Brazil slightly cheaper than Fogo de Chão, but more expensive than smaller non-chain Brazilian steakhouses. As for the food, the salad bar was fine, though I wish they had some more fresh fruit to end the meal with. The hot food area had a seasonal shrimp stew, and they also had grilled shrimp via gauchos, for the month of July. I wish they gave polenta instead of french fries, but the pão de queijo and mashed potatoes were tasty. The grilled banana was a little cooler than room temperature and would have tasted exponentially better hot. The meats were generally good though several were a bit too salty in my opinion. They also advertised cuts like beef and pork ribs, as well as herb marinated pork loin, but these never appeared. I inquired specifically about pork and was told they only had the parmesan crusted pork and barbecue pork ribs. I ordered the parmesan crusted pork but it took a very long time to arrive and I had to remind our server twice; it came at the very very end of the meal after I asked for the check, when I was almost ready to give up. Finally, I wish they had done something for celebrating my birthday. They asked when we checked in with the hostess if we were celebrating anything, and I said my birthday. Our waitress also saw my birthday coupon when we asked for the check and opted to use my gift card instead, so they definitely were aware. At the very least, they could have acknowledged with a "Happy Birthday." When I went to Fogo de Chão for my birthday, they offered a birthday discount AND a complimentary dessert. Overall, service was mixed and the interior pretty, with decent enough food, but compared to other Brazilian steakhouses, Texas de Brazil is not my first choice.

Reserved in advance to dine in before New Year's Eve. We arrived on time but still wait for roughly 10 minutes to be seated. The whole place was very decent and suitable for any celebrations. There is an area for salad, where you can get some veggies, bacons, cheese, smoked salmon, olives, etc. Then some waiters will serve you bbq every few minutes, until you're very full. They have like seven types of beef and two types of lamb. Also have chicken too. But like myself, you got full easily. Sodas and desserts are additionally charged. After you are almost done, waiters will show you a plate of dessert and ask which one you like. We didn't try it. For sodas, we tried the soda bossa, which is a type of Brazilian soda. Not too sweet though. We were also charged for $8 for water, in a very nice blue bottle. We didn't know this before we checked out.

AYCE & better than Fogo. Food, customer service, ambiance excellent & family friendly. Their sides are yummy & Yexas de Brazil has something for everyone.

This restaurant was so busy and we had reservations. So as a chain restaurant you would expect some of similarities. In most part but the layout and the atmosphere is different. What really stands out here is the small tables that they expect 4 adults to be able to even seat comfortably, never mind trying to eat. This had to be the most uncomfortable dining experience in quite some time. There was practically no room on the table for our plates and for the gauchos to place their catch plates for the skewers to cut. Truly ruined my dining experience.

Hands down our fav Brazilian barbeque steakhouse!  We like Texas de Brazil way better than Fogo de Chao because their meats are packed with way more flavor, possibly due to their use of natural wood charcoal.   The meats that we always save room for: Picanha: one of the most popular things and I definitely have to get at least 2 servings of this when I'm here.  Just a classic chunk of thinly sliced, perfectly smoked meat - if you get an end piece, you get one side that has some delicious char on it and the inside will still be medium rare.  Perfection! Brazilian Sausage: a small flavor explosion in every bite.  I don't know what spices they put in there but this is sensational.  We've also ordered these to-go, as they're amazingly delicious and travel well, unlike some of the other offerings that aren't quite as good as they cool down. Lamb Chops: get some mint jelly from the salad bar to complement their super tender lamb!  I usually don't love lamb because it can be gamey, but the Texas de Brazil version is incredible and not gamey at all! Barbecued Pork Ribs: bursting with flavor and cooked soooo well.  Falls off the bone with minimal effort and is the perfect combo of sweet, smokey, and savory. Beef Ribs: incredibly tender!  I've never had beef ribs this tender and melt in your mouth. In addition to a plethora of delicious meats, all meals come with access to a delicious assortment of salad bar and hot bar items to complement the meats, including some delicious lobster bisque, as well as some side dishes delivered to your table: tasty fries, heavenly cheese poofs (pao de queijo), mashed potatoes, and cinnamon sugar plantains. What a feast!! Service is fantastic and the ambiance is not too loud and family friendly. Next time you have a craving for all you can eat Brazilian Barbecue and/or a delicious caipirinha, check out Texas de Brazil!

Came here for my work Holiday dinner.. very disappointing and my office will never do our holiday party here again. Horrible services. All of us were found still hungry afterwards. We continuously had to request for food and waited almost 30 mins in between getting each piece of meat.

Food:GREAT!! Oh my the thin slices pineapple was fantastic. The varieties of meats were very well prepared and cooked. Service: Great!! Very attentive to our party of 10 e Everyone that was working did a really good job. Very nice evening. Thank you!

Texas de Brazil, not just a meal, but a culinary event. Putting the fantastic food aside for just a moment, the service was nothing short of Superb. The wait staff, the people serving the various meats and poultry's, answered any and all questions with a smile. The food is phenomenal, something to not just eat and enjoy, but to be experienced. Loved this place, can't wait to go back!!!

I am Brazilian and I can tell, this is a great place to go, amazing experience, great food, impeccable service! Very beautiful inside and the restroom is very clean. Best Brazilian churrasco (barbecue) in the area, if you are thinking which restaurant you should go, go to Texas de Brazil!

Best steakhouse in the whole area of Orange county. We've been here many times and we never get disappointed meat is always fresh and seasoned amazingly service is great and the salad bar is delicious! We just got service for thanksgiving and it never disappoints! Recommended!

First time visiting; unfortunately, will probably be the last time as well. From top to bottom, the dining experience at Texas de Brazil was poor. It started from the beginning, when the host took us to our table, just to see that it was still being cleaned and prepped. We had to awkwardly stand in the middle of the restaurant for a few minutes before we were seated. However, once we were seated, our server did not come and approach us until 10 minutes after we were seated. I'm not blaming our server, Willy, as I saw him hurriedly tend to other patrons, but I feel like there was a lack of communication between front of house. After all of this, I was hoping that at least the food would be worth it; to my disappointment, it was not. The sides that we received (french fries, mashed potatoes, cheese bread, plantains) were all cold. The refills that we received were also cold. That certainly did not help out the flavors, which were overtly salty. The worst offender was the cheese bread, which had a powdery texture. The meats themselves were inconsistent, with my first slice of picanha being rare, and the second slice beyond well done. The only consistency was the overt saltiness. It appeared that they tried to balance out the saltiness of the main course, with the food items at the salad bar, as those were completely devoid of salt. I ate a slice of smoked salmon that had virtually no flavor. The most disappointing part of the salad bar was the shrimp, it fell apart and had no bite to it, showing that it was clearly overcooked. All in all, I would expect much more with a hefty price point that Texas de Brazil commands. As a fan of Brazilian BBQ, I would recommend other establishments. Perhaps Texas de Brazil had an off night; however, with that price tag, it is not justifiable to have such inconsistency.

Service was really good. Daniel was on it. Took a little time to get is started but it wasn't too bad. Normally would be 4 or 5 star. Food was awesome. Definitely 5 stars. Hostess was awesome and cheerful. Now let's get to the 1 star review. Abdu was rude. We were celebrating a life that was taken too soon and a couple people in our party couldn't make it(emotionally). So this jerk made the a comment, "oh, you went went from 11 to 8?" (Rudely). So unprofessional from a manager. Everyone was already really emotional. This was our friends favorite restaurant and this dick ruined it.
