Texas de Brazil is a Brazilian steakhouse offering all you can eat flame grilled meats and a salad bar. The offerings were fresh, servers were kind, and service was timely. The salad bar had everything from rice, vegetables, and bread. My favorite appetizer was the brazilian cheesy bread! Our main server, Rosemary, was the highlight of our dinner. She checked in on us often, provided great recommendations, and kept the atmosphere lively.

The atmosphere is upscale yet energetic, the service is nonstop, and the parade of meats just keeps coming--perfectly seasoned, expertly cooked, and carved tableside until surrender is declared. From filet mignon to lamb, pork, and sausage, everything hits. Pair that with a massive, high-end salad bar and polished ambiance, and it feels like a celebration every time you sit down. Yes, the price is high--but once the gauchos start circling and the plates stack up, it's 100% worth it. Bottom line: come hungry, pace yourself (or don't), and accept the inevitable food coma. This place earns every bit of its 5 stars

I went to Texas de Brazil in Hartford during a layover and somehow ended up having Thanksgiving…read moredinner there, which was not on my bingo card but worked out pretty well. They had all the usual Thanksgiving foods along with the regular Texas de Brazil selections, so there was no shortage of options. The cranberry sauce wasn't my favorite, but the overall food and vibe made up for it. The servers *would not stop* coming by the table with meat selections, we could barely catch our breath before another skewer appeared. Not exactly a complaint, just impressive dedication. Our waiter, however, was perfect and kept everything running smoothly. The floors were extremely slippery, which was a little alarming, but guest services were excellent. We also made a last-minute reservation, and it was surprisingly easy. Overall, it was a fun, memorable meal and a great way to spend my Thanksgiving.

My sister had been here before and knowing that we love a more intimate setting, this was perfect. There were 12 of us. We each did the buffet. They serve beer by the bottle and wine by the glass. Juice is very reasonable. A regular is $3 and the large $6 (giant cup). I had Mango, sis had cashew, brother had guava. All were delicious! Check out my pictures for the food selection on the buffet. The pork was moist and juicy, the yellow rice with beans was favorite by everyone! There was fresh fruit cut up and even rice pudding. I'm very pleased. The meat was actually seasoned. They have the specialty meats that you can get also for an additional price. My granddaughter was THRILLED! Good food, good atmosphere, friendly staff. I'll definitely be back.

Lunch today at Banana Brasil Grille in Waterbury. I went with the $14.95/lb Meat only option. My…read morelunch certainly "filled me up", but like other fellow Yelpers have stated in their reviews, some of the meat selections were very salty. The meats that were not as salty tasting were on the bland side, I just kinda expected to experience "more flavor", and it simply just wasn't there. I lived in the Deep South for a year, and the Q found in that region simply blows away what I experienced today. Maybe it's not a fair comparison, but I couldn't help but think that. The location of the Banana Brasil Grille is conveniently located near Rt8, so it was easy to get back on to the highway to continue my journey after my lunch. Overall, I'd say it was a mediocre lunch, I can't see a reason for a return visit. A weak 3 Star Rating, IMO.

Minas Carne is an authentic Brazilian barbeque restaurant and delicatessen that opened in Danbury,…read moreConnecticut in 1997. It was founded by the Reyes Family of restaurateurs, which includes Luis, Juan & Richard. The Reyes Family immigrated to the United States from the Dominican Republic in 1990. The first eatery they opened in 1991 was Amigo's Deli & Carniceria, which is still going strong today. In 1997, the family opened Minas Carne, which features authentic Brazilian BBQ and traditional sides served in a fast-casual environment. It quickly became a popular staple in Danbury. In 2020, the Reyes Family opened Mariposa Taqueria. It closed in 2026, but the Reyes Family plan to turn it into a second location for Minas Carne which will open soon. I have eaten at Minas Carne numerous times over the years. The restaurant is 400 feet away from Western Connecticut State University's Midtown Campus, and it has long been a popular food option for WestConn students. I myself attended WestConn for both my undergraduate and graduate degrees. Recently I was in Danbury to see a concert, so I decided to stop by Minas Carne for some dinner beforehand. Everything is buffet style here and the line moves quickly. I grabbed a platter and loaded up on some sides such as "White Rice", "Yellow Rice", "Brown Beans", "Meat & Bean Stew", "Fried Chicken", "Beef Stew", and "Seasoned Plantains". Then I headed to the star of the show: the brick-oven charcoal barbeque pit. I asked for a little bit of "Pork Tenderloin" as well as some "Linguiça". Everything was delicious! There's a reason why I've been coming back here again and again for over 20 years. If you're looking for an authentic Brazilian BBQ experience then I highly recommend Minas Carne!

Mina's has great garlic steak and chicken wings, and I love their yellow rice and collard greens…read more But today's visit felt like I was ripped off. I loaded up the container with rice and collard greens, got 3 chicken wings and garlic steak, and paid $41. It was 2.7 lbs charged at $14.05. But the posted prices were $10.99/lb for combo and $14.49 for meat only. How do they determine pricing? Obviously, it looks like I got only all meat in the photo, but it's sitting on top of rice and collard greens, which, by the way, the rice is very heavy since I got a lot of it. I think that's just a bit deceptive when a restaurant does that kind of crap to their customers. I saw one review from years ago that they do arbitrarily change pricing when they think you got more meat on your plate. That's just plain wrong.
