My litmus is if they can produce a grilled chicken sandwich that isn't overcooked, tough and dry. The chicken was amazing, juicy and flavorful. The atmosphere was inviting and the service top notch. I'd encourage everyone to try it for lunch or dinner. I'm convinced you will go away pleased with the experience.

My husband and I had such a wonderful dining experience at Samba Loca. The restaurant is truly…read moreelegant yet welcoming and warm. We love the ambience inside -- white table cloths, comfortable seating, wonderful bar--and so appreciate the outdoor dining seating, perfect for our early dinner on the Square. The wine list is excellent, offering a very nice selection to explore, which we did! We so enjoyed the delicious bread, lobster bisque, and the steak and chicken kabobs. There is such attention to detail- asparagus was perfectly prepared and mushrooms were buttery and so fresh. Our server Alex was professional, attentive, and had a great sense of timing in taking our orders and serving our food perfectly. Kudos to the chef for great food and to the management staff for excellent service, such commitment to ensuring a great dining experience. Carrollton is lucky to have such a great restaurant on this lovely town square.

I stopped into Samba Loca on a Monday night to give it a fair chance after hearing not-so-good…read morethings from locals. Unfortunately, the experience mostly confirmed what I'd been told. They market themselves as a Brazilian steakhouse, but there was very little that felt Brazilian, or even steakhouse-quality, about it. The steaks had little to no flavor. Salt, pepper, and garlic can go a very long way, and this place didn't seem to use any of it. The result was meat that was bland and forgettable. Execution was also a problem. I ordered a NY strip, but a ribeye was brought out instead. That's a major miss on order accuracy, and it should've been caught by a kitchen quality-control check and again before it hit the table. To make it worse, the bar service was painfully slow. The bartender appeared to be on a date in the front corner of the restaurant, going back and forth between working behind the bar and eating dinner with his date. I ended up waiting on drinks most of the night. I wanted to like it, but between the bland food, the wrong steak, and the lack of service focus, I can't recommend it based on this visit.

I finally Google mapped BBQ in the area and Kristi's showed up. They have good reviews and were only a couple blocks away. Came inside, it's a small diner style joint, very clean. We were greeted immediately by the 2 owners, both wonderful ladies. I ordered the Krazy Kristi's sandwich which is a chicken on brioche with fries and a side. I opted for the potato salad and coleslaw for my sides. The chicken is great just by itself, tender and tasty and you get alot of meat. The brioche bun was fresh, the coleslaw is creamy and perfect for BBQ, the potato salad is like a Carolina blend, has great flavor, with cheese and bacon on top is great (I usually only prefer a mustard based potato salad so for me to like this was rare!). My wife order the Pig-out Sandwich, pulled pork on brioche, the pork is tendered and very nicely seasoned. For her sides she had mac'n'cheese and green beans, the beans were STOOPID good! Prices were excellent especially for the amount and quality of great food. Parking is good. Service is great. Food is wonderful. Highly recommend and will definitely return.

Longhorn has always been a restaurant in which I enjoyed however, my experience Thursday night was…read moreawful. Starting with seating. The minute we sat down and opened the silverware we observed that the forks were disgusting. Nasty not washed. Food particles etc. we immediately asked for a replacement... Then of course I'm uneasy now but I sat through it. Not wanting to disappoint my kids. I looked over at the light fixture on our table and seen how nasty, sticky and dusty it was... I still sat through it. We ordered our food, drinks and spinach dip appetizer. Spinach dip came out looking great. My family begin to eat and then my daughter mouth dropped and she had something blue stuck in her teeth... yes, blue!! It was some sort of plastic... shared it with the waiter. He said "oh that's plastic from our vegetable container, I can get you another one". No!! Totally unacceptable, what if my child would have swallowed it?? Then comes the entree!! We all ordered various cuts of steak... out of four steaks only one was cooked correctly. We asked for medium well. Our steaks were bleeding!! We could have sent it back but it was late and at this point I'm done... the lobster and asparagus was about the only thing good. Then my family told them it was my birthday ( I'm assuming when I went to the bathroom) he came out with a cheesecake and gave it to my daughter.. then he gave a melted sundae and said this is for your birthday... no happy birthday or nothing!! Oh , I forgot to mention my drink. I ordered this spiked strawberry lemonade. It was supposed to have an infused strawberry... It wasn't on my drink so I asked about it.... The waiter said "well there was none at the bar, I can go find one in the back".... Excuse me??? Yes!!! This was my experience. I'm done!!! Never again!! You would think a manager would have came out after the plastic.... Nothing!!!

If there was an option to place zero stars, I would have. This is my second visit to this location where I felt out of place. My first visit last week (May 2026!), no waitress greeted or even made eye contact with me or my coworker. There were maybe 3-4 servers and only 2 booths with people in them.... My second visit back was even worse. Me and my coworker went back, unfortunately, and this time we tried getting all of the waitresses' attentions. They turned back to look and turned right back around. No customer service skills, no greetings, no 'be with you in a minute' NOTHING. It's actually quite embarrassing how certain people still have to be fed from the back door. It's even more embarrassing noticing and realizing how the hating party truly, just hates themselves so much. LOL, one server was SOOO hesitant to serve us, or really just give us our salad trays because we had two salads to-go, that she was UTTERLY shaking. Bless her heart. I checked the website of the ratings... makes an extreme amount of sense. I also noticed how zero to none, black people were actually in the establishment... I should of turned around then.

They didn't have an open sign lit up and it appeared dark, but I had looked them up online and they were open (as of 11 a.m.). We parked in a public deck across the street. It had no gate infrastructure, so I assume it's free all the time. There is also street parking within a block or so. The restaurant itself is located about half a block north of the downtown square along a row of shops (records, etc.). The interior layout is booths along the left wall, tables in the middle, and a long bar down the right wall. There appeared to be a large brick pizza oven towards the back also. It was not overly busy when we were there, so there were only 2 servers handling tables and the bar. A few booths had patrons and there was 1 or 2 people at the bar. Service was good. The menu had a decent variety - salads, pastas, pizzas. I don't recall if there were other items. My wife got some sort of pasta dish that wasn't what she expected but she liked it. I also got a pasta dish - angel hair pomodoro. I thought this would be angel hair pasta with the 'pomodoro' in the form of a red sauce. The pasta was there, but the tomatoes were finely diced along with some onions and greens. It was different, but fine. I finished it. So don't be surprised with variants from 'standard' presentations, but the food is good. They appeared to have a full bar and a decent wine / beer selection, but we skipped that this time. We also skipped dessert. If I'm back in Carrolton, I'd consider stopping in again.
