We returned again for the service and food the third time. It's day after Thanksgiving, the restaurant is full as usual. And a party is going on, as usual - we certainly didn't have enough food yesterday, at our thanksgiving dinners -:) A gent in dark suit, perhaps the manager, came over to ask if we would like something in particular. I muttered lamb chop and short ribs - I think I like these two the best. He asked how would I like the lamb chop cooked. Medium. Soon these two appeared. Thank you. Their chimichurri sauce is delicious. The guilty indulgence is their little cheesy cup bread (?) ... When we finished the first bucket, a staff asked if we'd like another one ... little Irene said yes. Can't take me anywhere. read more

Christmas Day dinner at Terra Gaucho Tampa was absolutely amazing! The servers systematically rotate to the table providing select choice skewers of meats, ranging from lamb, beef, pork, chicken, shrimp and fish. In addition to this "meat fest", there is a bountiful buffet of fresh, salads, veggies, cured meats and cheese to select from; not to mention, shareable side dishes brought to the table to enjoy. The service was exceptional as the resturant utilizes a team of servers to ensure you are well fed and attended to. "Ho, Ho, Ho, what a Merry Christmas this was!! read more

We used to love a comparable restaurant nearby but after a few experiences where the meat was just okay, it stopped seeming worth the price. My dad wanted it for his birthday, but I saw the reviews here were better and the prices were slightly cheaper. While it was still nice, the interior felt a little bit less fussy, which we honestly liked a lot, the salad bar seemed small at first glance bug there were actually plenty of options. I was surprised to see two options of meat, like actual meat, not just charcuterie available at the salad bar. Quite honestly that would have been enough. However, the meat they serve is well seasoned and the service was excellent. We got to try lamb for the first time, which was neat. The desserts were great as well. I always try crème brûlée my first time at a restaurant and this one was very good. We'll be back! read more

I've been to similar Churroscarro restaurants with very similar menus. While the food was decent it fell short for the price you pay. The salad bar was the main star of the show. We had a large party attend and while the buttons for No or Yes clearly help indicate if we are ready for meat or not, no one apparently utilizes the from a staff perspective. The service from our waiter was sub par- ranging from just his non friendly exasperated personality to not helping one of our group members open a bottle of prosecco, the manager actually came by to help her instead. The meat while plentiful lacked depth of flavor and was slightly over cooked. The meat variety was not as plentiful as other churascarro locations IMO. And even the main birthday boy of our group had a heard time getting people to come by to bring meat. read more

This is a solid place. It was a little chaotic when we first sat down as it wasn't explained to us where we get out plates from. Our server may have been new. The cocktails were made very well. It's been awhile since I've had a good Caipirinha. We tried all the meats they brought out. They were all cooked very well. All the cuts were tender. The buffet section was meh. The desserts were solid as well. I will certainly come back when that craving for meat hits me again. read more

We went here on Christmas Day. The food was fantastic! An array of beef, chicken, lamb and seafood was brought to our table. Additionally,there was salads, breads, vegetables and fruit to choose from. We didn't get any alcoholic drinks, but the ones we saw looked very nice. There is an assortment of desserts - we got creme brulee and tres leches and both were fabulous. The service was superb and the entire staff was very attentive. Terra Gaucha was a great experience and we highly recommend dining there. read more

Obviously the food is amazing, this is the best service at a Brazilian style restaurant I have ever had, very festive and beautiful inside! Love this place will definitely drive the 5 hrs to come here again! read more

Terra Gaucha - Strawberry lemonade, fried bananas and the meats - Brazilian Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Was not super impressed with this place. It was my first time trying this type of restaurant and I may have had too high of hopes for the quality of the meat, and given that it's walked around and not given to us fresh after being cooked, may have been the reason, I'm not sure. The service here was fantastic, very friendly and accommodating. However it was a little overwhelming that once you flipped the tag to green, where it shows the servers that your ready for more meat, everyone flocks over at once. I'm pretty sure we tried all of the beef's, and they were seasoned well, however they were not super tender. Then again, with how much I love steak and all that I've had through out the years, my standards are very high. I loved the food bar, had a lot of great options and the lobster bisque was super good. Their Brazilian cheese balls that are served at the table were one of my faves here. read more

Great food... Try not to fill up on the incredible variety of items on the salad bar... You'll miss some great cuts of beef. Servers made a point of ensure that my request to avoid pork was held. I will be returning read more

First time here....and the food is FANTASTIC!! The service is HIGH GRADE and deserves 6 stars!! Their deserts are literally to die for!! This will forever be a stop on any of our trips to Tampa!!! read more

Terra Gaucha - Cheesecake with raspberry sauce - Brazilian Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Food was ok but Service was horrible. Seemed like we didn't have a standard server, so nobody came around to our table much which was a party of 6. The few that came around also referenced many times that they didn't speak English which made it harder to request more items and impossible to get dessert. In the end the bad service made the food forgettable. I would not go back or recommend this place as Texas de Brazil always seems to do an amazing job. read more

Outstanding experience. Be prepared for a high cost and it is worth every penny. Excellent selections on huge buffet. Excellent quality meats and seafood. It was our first time there and we will absolutely return. Gold Standard service and atmosphere. read more

I was eating my steak at this "really good Brazilian steakhouse" and after a couple of bites I found a bug in the center of the meat. One of the waitresses said they couldn't refund my meal or give me a new steak and they said to just eat around the bug. I also ordered a Petit Gateau and it was too much dark chocolate and half of it wasn't cooked all the way through. And for the price of the bill, made go over my budget that I was supposed to pay, for the experience and food this was unexceptional. Thanks a lot, I won't be coming back. Unprofessional staff, and clearly the cooks can't cook. Hopefully it was just an off night, but for a while like I said... won't be coming back! read more

This place was one of the good Brazilian steakhouses out there. The quality of the meat was good, and they also serve fish/ seafood for those who don't like meat. We came here for my birthday during lunch and it was great. My in laws really liked it and they're usually picky with food. There were variety of fruits on the salad bar, and they even have chicharron! The staff were very nice, understanding, and friendly. Only giving 4 stars because I was not able to try out the other things on the salad bar since they had to close it and you gotta ask for certain cuts like ribs or lamb chops if you want it served to you. :( ambiance was casual to business casual. 8/10 would come back here again! read more

My husband and I went to Terra Gaucha for lunch during the week and it was amazing. This is our second time trying it out, and we have not been disappointed! The service is absolutely great, the servers are very eager to make sure your experience is good and always remembered the temperature of meat we were getting for our cuts. The salad bar has tons of options and I had to stop myself from filling up too much from the options! Lastly, I got the chocolate molten cake and it was phenomenal. I'm still thinking about it days later. read more

This was our first time visiting. We were celebrating our 12th year wedding anniversary. It was recommended by two work colleagues. Let me say, service was top notch. It was close to perfection. Our 4 yr was with us and nothing on the bar was appeasing her. Our server offered to bring French fries. That gave us some time to comb through options. They variety in meatscwas nice some were better than others. The drinks are a little pricey. We will definitely visit again. read more

We came to celebrate my husband's birthday this past weekend. We needed to reserve a table because they seem to always be busy. The service was great and the food was super delicious! The price was worth the food, even after we were done they kept coming around to ask we were wanted more, we had to let them know that we were good. There was no rushing us out of there. The restaurant itself was very cozy and nice. read more

The food was really taste we party of 6 enjoyed. My first time. Had a great service around the table. It's a cozi Enviroment with a family ambiance atmosphere. I am sweet tooth was very happy to serve my self some fresh fruits and desert in the end. Lovely staff not sure about one that looked a little sad wile serving my stake lol. I guess he don't like picture. That's why I had to crop him lol. Other wise I would give 5 stars. read more

The service was fast. The ambiance was great. The sides were great as usual but the meat was on the salty side. Before I'm gaslit to believe that we didn't put a lot of salt in the meat, my tastebuds disagree otherwise. I was rather disappointed with the meat that came out and wish it had more flavor without all that salt. The flank steak was the saltiest. Had a bite and wasn't impressed. How to improve, more garlic butter used, less salt in meat. read more

Three stars only because the food was great, but service was below sub-par. We had a group of 16 in the private room for a birthday celebration. First off, the wait staff walked around the tables to give water but missed two people multiple times, so we had to specifically ask for the water for them. Our main waitress never even gave her name and seemed to have an attitude. When we asked if they had an a la cart menu for those who don't want the full experience the waitress rudely said you can get that but not the salad bar too. The staff walking around bringing the meats to the table were great and there were tons of options. I will say majority of the meat was cooked perfect medium except the filet mignon was brought out cooked well. The really bizarre and most irrational thing was that they only allowed the check to be split into 4 total. So we had to do all the math and see how to split the bill appropriately and the waitress came back many times impatient while waiting for us to do that. read more

Best Mother's Day ever. Food was incredible. Service outstanding. Clean!!! That salad bar could have been the entire meal. Wow

This was an experience that should not be missed! I've been to a few Brazilian steakhouse and Terra Gaucha is hands doesn't he best! Fresh, bakery and amazing service as well. Normally I would add a photo. But I want you to go for the experience. Also grab the Brazilian specialty drink. (Apologies I don't remember the name of it) . But it was delish. read more

Our first time visiting this est and I write this as we drive away in our food stupor! From the moment we entered the door we knew we're about to experience something amazing. Every single staff member made us feel welcomed and they went above and beyond in providing us the absolute best service. Our amazing server, Vinicius, was never far from our table and always on hand to ask questions and provide recommendations. We had other servers come back and ask if there was anything we wanted. This kitchen and staff ran like a well oiled machine, bringing out numerous varieties of perfectly seasoned and cooked proteins. The salad bar has its own "Wow!" factor as it's far more than just salad, but a mixture of hot and cold vegetables, various types of salads, soups, side dishes, exotic fruits, etc.. We wanted to sample everything but there is no way that can be done but was a journey for a couple of foodies! I honestly can't say enough about this must-go steakhouse. This is going to become a special spot for us whenever we're back in Tampa. Just be prepare for the meat sweats...it's so worth it. read more

A delicious Brazilian steakhouse choice and a lovely atmosphere. My husband and I came here for Christmas Eve dinner and it was fantastic. Go in hungry! All the meats were delicious and my favorite was the leg of lamb. The salad bar was also amazing and had some of the best bacon I've ever tried! This is a great spot for a special meal out as a couple or as a group. Definitely add this to your must visit! read more

I've been to 2 other churascho rodizio style restaurants before, so the concept is pretty standard. Service was great and there was a plethora of meat served on skewers. We enjoyed the picanha and the filet most. The lamb chops were also pretty good and my husband loved the mini sausages too. The salad bar was pretty standard, but o enjoyed the charcuterie layout of cheeses, meats, jams and bread the most. I found that mayonnaise based had too much mayonnaise them, so I couldn't enjoy the potato salad which I usually go enjoy. I will say that the lobster bisque was incredible. It was creamy but not too rich, so I enjoyed 2 cups of it. Dessert is limited and available at an addict cost, but we aren't dessert people, so that didn't matter. Also, after consuming so much protein and starch, I assume most people are too full to indulge in dessert. Service was good. We had a reservation, so we were served quickly. We arrived close to opening, and it was already pretty busy, and by the time we left around 1:45 pm it was packed. Lots of special occasions and big tables for large personal and work get togethers. So if you prefer a quieter dining experience, this may not be the place for you. All in all a nice time. I wasn't mind blown, but it was a nice lunch treat at $37 per person. read more

Get ready for the meat sweats, because you are going to have a lot of steak. I had not been to a Brazilian steakhouse in a while, I am so glad we came here. I have to say, the service was amazing.

This was by far THE BEST Brazilian steakhouse I've ever been to ! The salad bar has a huge selection of item and they are all delicious. Meats are so fresh and tender. Every other Brazilian steakhouse I've been to doesn't serve high quality meats but here was in a completely different level. The staff are extremely nice. They bring you food every minute. You won't be waiting for anything. They constantly walking around with the huge skewers of meats. We celebrated my son's birthday here and they gave us a free cheesecake plus $25 off for our next time. The interior design is also nice with live music. 10/10 experience. read more

Came for my birthday dinner and thoroughly enjoyed my experience! The restaurant is very nice inside and the service was exceptional. We opted for the full rodizio experience and loved the selection along with the salad bar. My favorite at the salad bar is definitely the million dollar bacon; I could eat that all night. The cheesy bread bites served at the table are so good! Mashed potatoes and caramelized bananas are also served with your meal. The picaña, filet mignon, and ribeye were delicious and well seasoned. I asked for a side of their chimichurri which adds great flavor. Our server was very attentive and would always come by for refills, to clean our table, and to replace our plates throughout our dinner. Definitely look forward to coming back to Terra Gaucha! read more

What can I say? Fabulous buffet, irresistible rodizio options, delicious deserts... and let's not forget the capirinha and guarana. Spacious interior.

Came here to celebrate hubby's birthday. As you walk in you see a large room with the salad bar in the center. The ambiance is not overly loud or bright it was cozy enough for a family dinner. This is your traditional Brazilian steakhouse. We were promptly seated, our waitress was very friendly and explained how their process works. You go up to the salad bar as many times as you want then the meat servers come around to the tables. There are little round cards that you either flip up or turn down depending on whether or not you want more meat or not. We enjoyed all the selections of meats, I enjoyed the shrimp, salmon and chicken (since I don't eat beef) and we were stuffed. At the end we ordered the Flan and the molten chocolate cake which were both very good. read more

While on vacation, we came here to celebrate my husbands birthday. We had lunch reservations at 130. I didn't realize that lunch ended at 2. While they didn't rush us, I felt bad when we were the 2nd to last customers there and staff was starting to clean up the salad bar and other staff were eating off to the side. Service was good- everyone was very attentive from the regular servers to the meat servers. The salad bar was laid out in the middle of the restaurant with so many options to choose from. If you're not a meat eater, there's plenty to choose from their salad bar. As for the meats, while there were many options from flank to picanha, to chicken, and filet mignon. My husband and sons only complaint- which is their personal preference, a lot of the meat was cooked medium to medium well and they're medium rare type of guys. They were so accommodating though and went back to grab him screwers that were more to his liking. We also enjoyed their cheesy bread and the grilled pineapples!! My fav at any Brazilian restaurant has always been the grilled pineapples and this was just as good as I've had anywhere else. With our meal- we decided to try their Brazilian lemonade- a first for us all and it was so good- Im glad we got a pitcher of it. read more

Consistently spectacular from start to finish! Carnivores rejoice--this place is your dream destination. A seemingly tireless procession of waiters makes the rounds carrying sizzling skewers of expertly prepared meats: an impressive rotation of premium beef cuts alongside flavorful lamb, traditional Brazilian sausage, juicy chicken, and more. The catch? You'll need a game plan. That magnificent buffet station beckons with its dazzling display of warming soups, premium cheeses, crisp salads, and countless other tempting treasures arranged so beautifully that it's dangerously easy to load up your plate. Do that, and you'll compromise your capacity for the endless meat parade that's the real showstopper. You've been cautioned! Round out the experience with their stellar drink offerings--both handcrafted cocktails and a well-chosen wine collection--plus service that's genuinely attentive, with servers who somehow know exactly what you'll want moments before you realize it yourself. read more
