The staff were all attentive and very friendly. The salad bar had an extensive assortment of items. The items I had were all good, nothing really stood out as exceptional or deserving of another trip to the salad bar. However, I intentionally did not try many of the items because I was saving room for the meat. My top three favorite meat items were: 1) bacon wrapped filet, 2) lamb chops, and 3) Parmesan encrusted pork. Our drinks from the bar were delicious and we enjoyed a shot of tequila the bartender prepared table side from his rolling bar cart. read more

We went on a Friday night and you definitely need reservations and a few extra minutes for parking bc this place is super popular, and for good reason. The food is amazing and service is nonstop. The salad bar is crazy. Though skip the huge abundance of yummy looking shrimp because the grilled shrimp is even better. Tender and with a hint of citrus. The mashed potatoes were great. The grilled veggies. The lobster bisque. The lamb. There are too many items to mention and all were fabulous. I don't live in Jacksonville but can't wait to go back. read more

We are returning customers and have had some good experiences but tonight's was definitely the worst we've had. Service: The dining experience is similar to what you would see on a cruise ship dining night, however a lot more chaotic. They sat us at the table closest to the self-serve buffet. My chair was tugged on by waiters multiple times. My husband got his elbow knocked by a waiter and the fork winded up cutting the inside of his mouth from it. Took over 15 minutes to get a cup of ice. The waiter forgot about it and we winded up asking someone else. That happened twice. We have a consistent line of people waiting for the self-serve buffet and being that our table was closest the line was always next to us. Always! Food: the food is really tasty. The variety of steak, shrimp, sausages, salmon, lamb, chicken is why we love coming here. We're not limited to what we want to try and eat. They have the food selection done well. Atmosphere: Chaos. People all over the place, if the tables weren't so crowded towards the buffet it would probably solve that. The staff doesn't speak English well and it's already hard to hear so I didn't know what she was saying half the time. We will be back because we enjoy the food but the overall service and experience need to be visited to have the customers leave feeling like it was more than just good food. read more

Dined at Terra Gaucha Brazilian Steakhouse and it was awesome. The restaurants ambiance is perfect with modern lighting, and tables and seating that is comfortable for dining. Let's get to the good stuff, the picanha, rib eye, the salmon, the lamb chops, it was all so flavorful, juicy, and cooked to perfection. The fruit at the salad bar was juicy and ripe. The salads were exotic and delicious, so many side choices, from red skin mashed potatoes, chilled asparagus, and so much more. There is definitely more than enough for everyone to enjoy. The service was superb, everyone that touched our table greeted us pleasantly. The meat servers knew the cuts and cooking preferences of meat we liked most after a couple rounds. I'll definitely return. With so many delicious dining experiences available in Jacksonville, I place this on my top 5 for now. I'll leave you with a little dessert. read more

Terra Gaucha - Enjoy - Brazilian Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

**First-Time Surprise** To be completely honest, I had no idea what made a Brazilian steakhouse different from any other steakhouse. When we walked into Fogo de Chão, we were completely unaware of what was in store for us. It turned out to be a treat we hadn't expected, offering a meal beyond our imagination. The food was abundant, the variety was enormous, and it was unbelievably delicious. To say I recommend this place is an understatement; I would classify it as a "Must Try" for anyone who enjoys a great meal. Just one tip: come hungry, because you'll definitely leave full! read more

First time at Terra Gaucha and it was amazing. The atmosphere was very nice. Every meat offering was perfect. The hot and cold bar had a lot to offer and since one person in our party isn't a hardcore meat eater this option worked well for her. The avocado salad was quite tasty. Our waiter Luis was very attentive and extremely pleasant. I can say I easily ate $63 dollars worth of meat during our dining experience. I would happily do this again in 6 months. read more

The food was delicious, the service was great but the establishment is very loud. We made a reservation and we're sat almost immediately on a Friday night, that was a great start to our experience! Our server explained the process of the restaurant, took our drink orders and we had the best time! The only negative about the night was that the tables are close together and there was a large group of men seated in the back of the space we were in, they were obnoxiously loud so we found ourselves waiting for a pause in their conversation so we could continue ours. The meat was cooked perfectly, flavorful and the variety was great! The salad bar options were delicious and they were refilled often. For dessert we loved the grilled pineapple cinnamon! read more

My husband and I decided to have a cute lunch date and have been wanting to try this Brazilian steakhouse for a while now as we're huge fans of Fogo de chao. The lunch pricing was great so we decided to give it a go. Upon arrival, the hostess greeted us and we were led to a cute table and our server acknowledged us right away. We received our drinks and a brief run down of how things operated with the meat button before we were set free to head to the salad/hot food bar. The yellow rice, bread puffs and cold shrimp were delicious as well as the fresh fruit. The sweet and spicy peppered bacon was just regular bacon. The lobster bisque was not spectacular and neither were the Brazilian beans. As for the meats - the chicken tasted sour like it had spiked and been cooked, not good at all. Several of the meat cuts were overcooked or extremely fatty but we gave them a second round just to see if it was the part of the meat we received and not necessarily the entire skewer it came out on. The bacon wrapped steak was delicious as well as the picahna. The beef ribs were good and the chimichurri sauce they brought out added so much flavor. We ordered crème brûlée for dessert and that was seriously the highlight aside from the cheese puff breads. If I had to choose between fogo and terra, I'd absolutely go with fogo every time. read more

Ate here for lunch today and it was delicious! I've been trying to convince my husband to go to a Brazilian steakhouse for years and I finally was in a town that had one during my birthday week, so I convinced him to take me for lunch. This was just as good as the churrascarias I've visited in Brazil, and my picky eater husband even agreed it was really good steak. The cold and hot bar selections were excellent and the meat they served at your table was super flavorful - our favorites were the bacon-wrapped chicken, sirloin, and ribeye, but I also really enjoyed the salmon and fried cheese that they brought around. The garlic steak was good, but if you don't like a lot of garlic, steer away from that one. Since we visited for my birthday, they also brought me a nice passion fruit mousse dessert which was a delicious way to finish my meal. I'm looking forward to returning to Terra Gaucha in the future - everyone there was so nice, and the food was excellent! read more

I was only going to have the salad bar, but when I got there and saw the food, the service and ambiance I was very impressed. I wanted the whole experience, exception of the red meat. But to be there with my family was a an experience all by itself. I will definitely be back. Great job staff and hats off to the mangers. read more

Terra Gaucha - Brazilian Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Visited with my family last weekend. Food and service were excellent! The salad bar was noteworthy with the cinnamon pineapple and mango being my favs. In terms of the meats, I enjoyed all but especially the pichana, bottom sirloin, and bacon wrapped filet. Really can't go wrong with those. While being a bit pricey, the ambiance is nice for a date night. They've made some upgrades since my last visit that elevated the look and feel a bit. The only downside I found is that it gets very loud when crowded. It was hard to hold a conversation with the person across the table. The patio seating might have been a better choice if it wasn't so warm outside. read more

My son and I went for lunch and celebrated some good news we received and the food, service and atmosphere were first rate. Definite date night or celebration restaurant fir that special birthday. Now eating at a Brazilian Steakhouse needs a strategy, and this is my suggested strategy. 1) Decide which options you want - salad bar only, chicken and fish, full meat experience. 2) Get Lobster Bisque!!!!!!! 3) Decide which protein sounds good, wait for those and pass on the others. (Suggestion for meats, Ribeye, Filet and Picahna, or chicken/salmon) 4) Ask for Chimichuri and horseradish sauce. 5) Get the fried cheese with honey and the roasted pineapple (served from a skewer) 6) Get dessert, if you are too full, take it yo go, but don't miss it. I think we should talk service here because this is a big part of the experience. Service here is on par with most fine dining, white glove service. Someone forgot to turn a special order in for me and 10 people apologized, I didn't even know it was delayed because I had plenty of food to work on. But the food itself: Brazilian Ginger Ale - not a good, but really good. Cheesy muffins - my son loved them, I did not, go figure Caramelized Bananas - great side dish. Mango and Crab - just not good, at least for me. Caesar Salad - delicious, really nice. Lobster Bisque - AMAZING, do not miss this. Pineapple slices - not my thing Cheese - some really good options but some flavors are overpowering. I ate mine with this delightful fig preserve that was out. Mashed Potatoes - great flavor but served cold, I just cannot do cold potatoes. Mushroom sauce - fantastic but again served cold, wanted it hot. Smoke Salmon - good but there are better choices Ribeye - fantastic Filet - Sublime Picahna - another fantastic choice Drumsticks - oh wow, I did not expect these to be so delicious. I mean stomp your feet, yodel and clap your hands five times because this just got real. It is marinated, it is moist, flavorful and roasted to perfection. Shrimp - cooked to perfection, with a nice glaze but next time I will pass on them. Salmon - special order, big portion, and perfectly season, perfectly cooked and fork tender. I need another stomach to eat more of these. Fried Cheese with Honey - wow, not expecting this awesome flavor bomb. Roasted Pineapple (on a skewer) - amazing, warm, moist and not too sweet. Crème Brûlée - this was FANTASTIC. Tres Leches Cake - just as good as the Crème Brûlée. Joao, the owner oversees operations and jumps on to fill any gaps and make sure the experience is authentic. My choice of the Chicken/Shrimp was wonderful for me, but most people come for the beef snd it is deliciously prepared. The salad bar was just okay, I wasn't thrilled with it. Find a reason to celebrate and make reservations and thank me later. . read more

Amazing experience!!! We came here for my son's 16th birthday! The attention to detail was amazing! The salad bar was fresh and great.

We will be back....just delicious read more

I've been here on several occasions (birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas party, Valentine, date night, or when I feel like having meat sweats) and I can't believe I haven't written a review here yet. It's way overdue! Terra Gaucha is my favorite Brazilian Steakhouse in Jacksonville. Each time I come here, I'm so full, they had to roll me out of there. You should see me devour those delicious Brazilian barbecue. The table-service of fire roasted meats that come my way, I want them all! Even seafood! Bring 'em! My favorites are the bottom sirloin and lamb chops. Filet mignon too! TG also have an expansive gourmet salad bar, but I only get a small cup of lobster bisque and few slices of fruits to start off. I don't want to get full before I flip my card to green for "Let's get some meat over here!" Lol Service is always great and the restaurant is spaciously laid out. You can request what type of meats you want too. Tip: Yelp check-in offer - receive a complimentary glass of wine read more

I've eaten here several times and am always impressed with the food and service but my visit yesterday afternoon deserves a review because of the amazing floor manager, sorry I don't remember your name, and one of our waiters Brian. The level of engagement going on in that busy dining room was amazing and Brian's knowledge of wine and bourbon was top notch, I also appreciated the cool tidbits of trivia. Thank you for a truly enjoyable lunch! read more

My 1st time there! An amazing place to get attentive service. The food tastes delicious and the bar has a great selection too. The servants have their eyes on you & when you are ready for more they are right there to fill your plate! I felt very relaxed and happy to be served with a warm welcome. The ambiance was spot on. I will return to Terra Gaucha Brazilian style restaurant shortly! read more

I made reservations at Terra Gaucha to celebrate my grandfathers birthday and it was an experience he will not forget. We arrived about 30 minutes before our reservation time and were seated within 5 minutes of checking in. Our waiter did an amazing job explaining how everything worked and then we were on our way to the unlimited salad bar. The salad bar had such a large range of items including mashed potatoes, lobster bisque, so many different cheeses, brown sugar bacon, and so much more! By the time we got back to the table our plates were full. I am a pescatarian and the full experience for me was just amazing as the pescatarian option includes unlimited chicken, shrimp, and salmon. I did not eat the chicken but the shrimp and salmon were each cooked to perfection. My drink of choice was the passion caipirinha and I had no complaints!! For dessert we ordered the caramel fudge cheesecake and the creme de papaya. The cheesecake was so rich and not lacking in the caramel or fudge department and my grandfather loved the creme de papaya! read more

We had an amazing evening at Terra Gaucha. It appeared to be a very busy evening for them and our reservation was delayed. The manager Mirzah took amazing care of us prior to seating and checked in all evening. The staff was attentive and it was probably the best service we have received anywhere, and definitely the best Brazilian Steakhouse experience we have ever had. The meats were fantastic, and the cold bar was one of the best we've had. OMG the ribeye was so good! My husband loved the filet mignon. All the food was top notch. Thank you for making our anniversary so wonderful. We can't wait to come back! read more

We've been to Terra Gaucha Brazilian Steakhouse in Jacksonville dozens of times over the years -- and somehow, it continues to get better. That kind of consistency doesn't happen by accident. It's a testament to exceptional ownership and attentive, hands-on management that clearly takes pride in what they've built. The cold buffet (or Gourmet Table, as they call it) is absolutely top-drawer. It's not just a filler -- it's a standout part of the experience. The lobster bisque is rich, silky, and expertly balanced. The salads are always crisp and fresh, with plenty of thoughtful combinations and dressings. A generous selection of pickled vegetables, peppers, and cheeses rounds it out -- bold, flavorful accents that elevate the entire meal. Then comes the rodizio -- and the meats are as good as you'll find anywhere. The picanha, garlic beef, and rack of lamb are personal favorites, always served hot and perfectly seasoned. Everything comes out at the right pace, and the carvers are friendly and professional. But what really sets Terra Gaucha apart is the way they never fail to surprise us -- especially when we bring a group or celebrate something special. Whether it's a birthday, anniversary, or a gathering of ten or more, the staff goes out of their way to make it feel like an occasion. You can tell the management is watching, involved, and genuinely cares that every guest walks out happy. The dining room is clean and elegant, the service is polished but warm, and there's a palpable sense of pride from everyone who works here. You're not just a table number -- you're a guest. In a world where too many restaurants just try to get by, Terra Gaucha raises the bar. Whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth, you'll leave impressed -- and full. Highly, highly recommended. read more

It disappoints me to give Terra Gaucha a three star review considering how much I love this restaurant. I've been coming here for the last few years when I visit Jacksonville. I've tried a few other Brazillian steakhouses in California as well as Florida and just based on the quality and flavor of the meat this is my absolute favorite. The Picanha and Garlic Picanha in my opinion are the best. The meat is very tender and flavorful. The Ribeye is good as well as the Churasco steak. The sausages are awesome, but I don't each much of the chicken when I'm indulging. I did try the chicken legs last time and they were not my thing. The grilled pineapple is great and a must try. Once you have the grilled pineapple there's no really no reason to order dessert. Oh and you can't forgot the Brazillian cheese bread, those sucker are addicting and hard not to fill up on. So why the three stars? Service is so hit or miss. I've been times were service is fantastic, but it seems if you are not seated in the main dining area you are not going to get many choices of meats and you are mostly forgotten about. My sister and I a few years ago were seated towards the back of the restaurant and had terrible service and couldn't even get bread. When we talked to a manger they did give us a coupon. The manager did seem to care which is why we've always come back. The last visit was on Father's day a few weeks ago. We made reservations about a month in advance. We arrived early and got told it would be 30-60 minute wait which is ridiculous. When we were finally seated we were sat in a room off to the side. We saw our server once, but she really didn't come to check on us. We kept asking for certain cuts of meat and even if we asked 10 times, no one would come. Apparently asking a server walking by will not work. My son really wanted the pineapple and every time they came by they would be out and say they would be back but would never come back. I would also ask for my son's meat medium and they kept giving him rare. He finally stopped asking and didn't want to eat more meat. After about an hour of this I finally went and hunted down the manager. I explained the situation and the service changed within a couple of minutes. We were offered everything we could have wanted. We wanted a nice meal for our dad on his day and this is not a cheap meal. It is ridiculous that it takes tracking down a manager for service to change or anyone to care. We were offered no discount or anything. Just one apology when the manager first came back with me. So, I love the food, but the service is so hit or miss depending on where you are seated. If you decide to come, good luck with where you are seated, the food is good and be sure if you don't have good service, find a manger. read more

Researched the other Brazillian steak houses in the area and this one seemed the most authentic. It was delightful! Might not look like the most upscale on the outside, but the inside is just lovely. We sat outside on the patio and the weather was perfect. Don't worry - the gauchos will visit you plenty out here. We had full plates of everything we wanted as much as we wanted. Everything is delicious, but this is the one place where the filet is NOT the star of the show. Its definitely the picanha. I would almost say you can skip everything else. Service was very friendly and attentive. White table cloth with the little crumb scraper when you're done. Nice touch! Loved the buffet too. Just really really wonderful and I know we'll be back. When we've saved up a little! (They are ALL expensive... this one is definitely worth it!) read more

Visiting from out of town. The restaurant looks very clean, modern and organized. We were quickly seated on a Saturday night and got a server on our table to help us pretty fast too. Since it's a Brazilian steakhouse we obviously went for the Rodizio and it didn't disappoint. All the meats were phenomenal, very well seasoned and cooked "medium" as we requested. Sides and salad bar had a lot of variety and were also very flavorful. To drink we had caipirinhas and wine which were also very well balanced & crafted. The service we got was excellent, considering we had multiple servers swinging by our table, including the manager, offering help and always interested in making our dining experience better. We really felt like we were on a five star restaurant as everything came along so perfectly well. We're not from around town, but I would definitely come back and for sure will recommend this place to EVERYONE! Amazing! read more

Had high expectations on this one. Looked great on the outside and was very nice inside. Service was prompt at first, but went downhill from there. The drinks were very strong which I am not fond of. The waitress did not check on us after we got our drinks for at least a half hour. Now the food. I must admit that it was really good. The salad bar was amazing. Everything was fresh and constantly refilled. The steaks were great, but this is where the service kicked in again. One of the gentlemen I was dining with got passed by at least 6 steak servers even after making eye contact. I still recommend this place, but the need to desperately work on their customer service. read more

Well what can I say but wow. This is hands down the best Brazilian steakhouse I've been to. Let me start with the service. The attention to detail was been better than some Michelin star restaurants we've been to. Some might feel it too much but i don't mind being pampered. The decor could use a bit of sprucing up but it's not as bad as some have said. I love the wine room in the middle. The neon light needs to go but otherwise, it's not bad. Now for the food. The cheese puffs are amazing. The polenta fries are also just incredibly tasty. These are served first at most BS restaurants but both of these were above average for sure. The cold bar isn't as expansive as some I've been to but the ingredients are fresh and there's enough variety. My favorites were the shrimp and smoked salmon. I made a plate to start with colorful salads and fish. It was delicious. The hot bar had mashed potatoes, rice, and lobster bisque. Those were all good but the mushrooms. Let me repeat...the mushrooms could have just been their own course. I'd literally have them for lunch. Then there's the table service. I had a plan. My goal was a medium rare filet, lamb chops, Parmesan pork, and sausage. All were perfectly seasoned and very tasty. The pork was a bit dry, however. Make sure to be clear you want medium rare lamb chops. Definitely order the chimichurri sauce for your steak. The filet was perfectly cooked. My husband also enjoyed the ribs. The sausage was amazing. There were three extra things we got. The garlic bread on the skewer....Chefkiss!!!!! Like really....wow. They also had a cinnamon pineapple to end the meal. I appreciate that. Something to help you digest all. They also offered a small fried cheese course covered in honey. It's not something usually given and was so yummy. We ordered a South American wine (sorry didn't get the name) that paired so well with everything. The martini was generous. Overall, we will be back. The service and food were maybe a 6. The decor a 4 (out of 5). We were there for the food and experience so that's fine with us. You should go. Cheers! read more

We were there the night before Mother's Day. The salad bar was good. However, the lobster bisque was similar to Campbell tomato soup watered down. The meat HUGE disappoint. Tough, no flavor, very, very rare when ask is for medium. All the meat tasted the same. They brought out salmon that was really dry and flavorless. Table of 6 and the comments were all the same. Service was lacking, constantly asked to clear dirty dishes, more drinks, more water. Servers gave us attitude if we needed a clean plate. Yes, we left food on plate as most of it was not edible no matter how much salt and pepper we added. Biggest heartbreaker, the little bread rolls they bring to the table were never hot/warm and they were hard. Coming back from the restroom, the manager bumped into me hard and kept walking. I shouted Excuse me, he was forced to say sorry. Otherwise, he'd keep on walking. Never again. read more

We have been told that this place is the best ! My hubby went here for a business meeting before and verified how great the venue is. It was definitely a bit busy. We made a reservation. There's inside the restaurant and outside seating. We were blessed to be able to get an indoor table because it was a little bit warm for me. I'm still getting used to Jax weather patterns. The venue is beautiful inside. The staff is personable and professional. The salad bars are always my favorite in this bounty of meat. I guess I get so excited about the salad bar that I don't ever eat as much meat, but that's ok, because I know that the meat will be so delicious that it will make me so happy. This venue has a great selection meats and the salad bar is well stocked. There's soups and sauces and desserts and adult beverages. The patrons range from celebrations, romance, family gatherings, and today it was lots of teenagers all dressed up for prom. I was glad to see the various grouping. It was loved by one and all based on the silverware clanking and sound of happy Foodies saying "yummmm". We had not an inch of room for dessert, but a cup of espresso hit the spot to top us off. My son-in-law had his water refilled so often as the attentive servers would frequently fill up our glasses that I think he was definitely well hydrated for his 10K tomorrow. We had a satisfying meal and we had our taste buds singing along as we passed our thanks onto the staff. read more

Management takes great pride in every aspect of fine dining.

Great food. Nice experience. Friendly staff and nice portions. Worth the money. Unique and refreshing.

While this place was very good. I prefer the salad bar at the other Brazilian steak house there were just a couple of things missing that I need to complete my meal. The meat was excellent. They have something here the other local Brazilian steak houses don't have and it's very good the shrimp & salad option. We also got the yummy peach sangria. The creme brulee was the best I ever had. read more

My family's go-to Brazilian Steakhouse in Jacksonville! We tried a couple but had bad experiences with the others. The service at Terra Gaucha is amazing. They are always fast to serve us, and if there are any meats we haven't gotten, they will ask us which meat we would like and they will bring it right to the table. The food is delicious as well! The salad bar has great options and the maple bacon is to DIE for! If you don't see it going around, as for the cheese with the honey! It is SO good that I risk my lactose intolerance for a couple of pieces. It's very nice inside! No need to dress up if you don't feel like it, as I have seen people in jeans and a t-shirt, but you will fit in if you wear some nicer clothes as well! read more

I think it's high time I update my review especially during this time of the pandemic and provide useful information for those who wants to brave going to restaurants. We celebrated my husband's birthday here last Friday. Our expired gift certificate which we got for free on Valentine's Day was still accommodated (I called and they confirmed it's fine. Thank you!) When we arrived, the service has not changed, still impeccably top-notch! We were told to wear mask and gloves if we are going to get food from the salad bar. And when we came back to our table, somebody will just appear beside you and take your used gloves! And as always the food was excellent! As soon as my hubby asked for his favorite lamb chops, the meat server came back and gave him 5 pieces! I really cannot commend enough the superb service and food of Terra Gaucha! It's a place where we feel that we are valued customers! So please go out and support our local businesses! They provide not only delicious food but also you feel safe because of all the precautions in place. read more

Terra Gaucha considered themselves a nice up scale restaurant and is relatively upscale establishment based on the decor and how the employees are dressed. Now that the description of the establishment is done, let's get started with the experience. My wife made a 3 person reservation for 7:00pm which was a complete waste of time seeing as how it still took them 23 minutes to actually seat us. The hostesses were pretty rude in regards to checkin us in and when we inquired how much longer we would have to wait the response received was "you are next". Within 10 minutes the hostess sat two other 3 person parties AFTER telling us we were next. As for the lobby, their Christmas tree blocks most of the seating and people waiting go be seated were packed in like sardines. Legitimately speaking, I have been to bus stations better organized and managed than how Terra Gaucha manages their intakes. So if you are looking to choose this restaurant for a nice date night....DON'T. Unless you want to stand around awkwardly in a very crowded waiting area. The entire dining experience was overall just unpleasant due to how loud, agitating, and close they put the tables together. I was bumped by almost every server while they were trying to squeeze by and serve the next table. PRO: And there is ONLY ONE. The quality of their food and drinks will not disappoint. Everything tasted amazing. read more
