You can find my girlfriend and myself here for Fridays during lunch time! It is our go-to restaurant for a unique Brazilian steakhouse experience where the Guachos (the people who specialize in flame grilling meats) walk around offering many different kinds of meat. From pork and lamb, to chicken and beef. They have it all! The all inclusive salad bar sweetens the deal. My personal favorite from the salad bar area are the scalloped potatoes, and from the meat selection is the flank steak. Great service, the waiters and waitresses are attentive and the front of house manager is always walking around. The atmosphere is upscale and offers some beautiful decor. There aren't many places like this in Alabama, let alone Birmingham! read more

I was there today for early dinner with my friend, we started the salad bar, it's very enticing! I love the sautéed mushrooms, artichoke, potato salad and many more, here come the beef, what I love the most is the Picanha the meat is so juicy and tender, Filet Mignon is also good but there's some parts that's tough,another favorite is Flank Steak wished there's some fat but none,BBQ pork ribs too sweet for me, I did not see the Beef ribs that I like, the Garlic Picanha is also good, all in all I am happy on what we had, service and the server was superb! Talking about the Ambiance, it was perfect! Sorry I don't have any pictures to support my claims because I am so excited! Only the dessert. read more

Texas de Brazil - Birmingham - Chocolate Mousse Cake - Brazilian Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

My favorite place to go for a celebration. The meats are always delicious. The salad bar is always fresh with so many varieties of sides, salads, and other things. The smoked salmon is one of my favorites. The lobster bisque is also a highlight! The lamb chops are the best meat to get. And the fried bananas I dream about. The servers are always pretty nice too. Definitely a nicer restaurant experience read more

My son had never been here before so I decided to have a visit after we saw clue at the BJCC concert hall. The only negative is they don't open until 4 PM on Sunday so we had to wait around. Kallie was our waitress, and she was very attentive and personable. Surprisingly, there was no sweet tea so my son got a strawberry limeade that he absolutely loved. I just got the salad bar while my son got the full dinner. The cheese bread was delicious and this is coming from a daughter of a Brazilian mom. Some of the sides that are brought out are garlic, mashed potatoes, french fries, and fried plantains. Honestly, the salad bar has so much cold and hot food. It's really enough for a person unless you're really into eating meat it was very clean and organized. You have a chip that is red and green. You leave on green when you want the meats. The salad bar has lobster bisque which is so delicious I will definitely be back and enjoy the salad bar. I encourage you to make a reservation prior to your visit. The bathrooms were very clean. Everyone that worked there was so pleasant. read more

We recently had a business dinner at Texas de Brazil in Birmingham, Alabama. The restaurant has a great ambiance and the traditional rodizio-style concept is always enjoyable -- continuous table-side service with different cuts of meat as long as you keep the card turned green. The quality of the food we did receive was very good, and the atmosphere made for a pleasant setting to conduct business discussions. Unfortunately, the service experience did not match the price point. After only a few rounds of meat service, it felt like the staff decided our table had "had enough," because they simply stopped returning to us altogether. We remained at the table for another 30 minutes continuing our business conversation, but no additional food was offered despite our card remaining on green. For a dinner that ended up costing about $110 per person, the experience was disappointing. Good food and ambiance alone are not enough at that price level -- attentive and consistent service is expected. read more

Came here for my husband's birthday dinner. I was excited about the salad bar since there aren't too many places that have them any more. Since this is a buffet, you can get right to it. There are basically two prices on the menu--one for salad bar only and one for salad bar and meat. I decided to get both since the salad bar was disappointing to me. I was hoping to make a big salad with lots of toppings but this is more like lettuce and sides. I definitely could have made a meal out of it it just wasn't what I was looking for. I didn't see too many things you could actually put on the salad. They had cucumber salad but no cucumbers. Also had shrimp salad. One side of the salad bar is like charcuterie which is great if that's what you want. They have a section that has one soup and warm sides presumably to go with the meat. The meat comes out fast as soon as you flip your card to green. I liked all the meat I tried with the exception of the Parmesan chicken. Servers were all very nice. Overall it was a decent meal. I just can't justify the price. 300 for four of us with the tip. Ouch. Despite the price, the place was very busy. Make a reservation for sure. read more

4.5 stars....went on a night that was not busy. I have seen it be packed on other days so today was a blessing! The food was delicious and I loved everything. The server was a little bit out of it but that's ok. We had a very good dinner and the atmosphere was great. The meat servers were all professional and nice. The meats were the star of the show. My fave was the beef rib. I forget what it was called. It was so tender and smooth like butter. The other nice thing is they came around at least twice for everything so if you missed it or wanted more, you had another chance. I loved their dessert selection. I like coming here for the food, experience, and location. read more

Let's start by saying amazing job to all the staff. We had dinner reservations at 5:30, which was a perfect time before the crowd really started to come in that evening. They explained the drink menu and the experience we were about to have together. Now I'm just going to say one of the best salad bars in the town, and even a charcuterie board with many options. They have various meat options, including steak, pork, and chicken. Out of the three different desserts, my favorite was the cheesecake. The bathroom has excellent lighting and is very clean. It had plenty of seating for any event. read more

If you're looking for a good place with great Customer Service, great food selection and great prices. This is your place. We really enjoyed eating here for the first time so it was all good. I can assure you this one thing. We will be back! My only regret is that I did not take a picture of the good food, but I'll tell you one thing it was all good! I am still smiling from my experience and the food. read more

The last time I came to Texas de Brazil was prior to me being on Yelp. Sooooo it's been over a minimum of 7 years since my last visit. I recall coming here for my birthday. Anyway, we had a 630 pm reservation on a Tuesday. We ended up arriving early and the staff was very accommodating to seat us early. Once we were seated our server came over and explained the menu to us , as my guest had never been here before. We both enjoyed the salad bar! Sooo many endless options available. We both felt like the meats were overcooked. Unfortunately, we didn't receive many medium rare pieces. The personal fav was the flank. Absolutely tasty and the right temperature! The price is indeed worth it because there is endless food. I didn't love my $16 glass of cab nor my dirty martini (extra dirty). Definitely could have skipped them both and been just fine with water! Overall, we enjoyed coming here. The service was decent and not overbearing. This is a beautifully decorated restaurant with a casual atmosphere. read more

Still delicious but still expensive. Best thing to do is get the most of your favorite cuts and skip the rest. For me that is picanha and the cheese bread. read more

Oh, come on, what bad thing could you possibly say about all the meat you can eat coming around on a rotational basis?. I don't think life gets any better than Texas de Brazil. Just don't fill up on the sides, you're going for the meat and all the meats are delicious. They make a good sangria too...stay focused..you're there for the meat! read more

Where to start. This was our first time going to any Texas De Brazil and it was amazing, the service was great, we never had to look for the meat service, the hot bar was excellent as was the salad bar. The ambience was very nice, the restaurant as a whole was very well decorated and quiet just a lovely experience all together. Will definitely be coming back. The only thing I would as to be changed is to take the hot spices out of the shrimp salad or have a milder version and less water in broth in the mushrooms they had a watery taste, like extra water was added; maybe cook them down some more. I give the whole experience an 8.5/10. read more

My daughter and I were visiting the Birmingham area one Saturday to catch a UFL game at Protective Stadium. Having been here before, we knew that Texas de was right across the street. The game started at 6 pm, so a 4pm reservation for early dinner was going to be perfect. We rolled into Birmingham a bit early, so we were going to have to wait, along with other hungry patrons, for the 4pm opening. While doing so, we decided to head across the street to the ticket office to see if we could get physical tickets to the game as souvenirs instead of the stagnant, cold electronic ones on the phone. Nope. They don't do that. Bummer. Oh well, back to the restaurant. Ahhh, but on the way back, I spied on the ground, something which looked like an advertisement for the game. Oh, a souvenir, I thought. I picked it up. It turned out to be an All Access game pass!!! There was a name on it, and of course, I had to Google it. It belonged to a cop. Hmmmmm, I should probably turn it in. We were some of the first guests to be let into the restaurant when they opened, and also the first to attack the extensive salad bar. Which is a meal in itself. A huge variety of cold meats, vegetables, cheese, fruit, you name it. There are also hot side dishes, too. Rice, potatoes, soup, fish stuff, (blah, if it's from the sea, it's not for me, unless it's seaweed, I love the stuff). The guys with the spears of meat were floating around the dining floor in choreographic splendor. Their offerings of succulent farm animals were being expertly sliced off the bone and teased off skewers to meet their ultimate destination, your plate. Right between the pile of salami and mound of artichoke hearts. Just brush aside the roasted garlic to make room. Please be hungry when you get there, and layer it on, or should I say, layer it in. Remember, there's always room for another sun-dried tomato. Quick Tip: Dessert will cost you extra. As decadent as it looks, resist the urge and head across the street to hit the craft table at the game. A lucky find can open a lot of doors. read more

If Yelp had 7 stars, these folks would have them. Wonderful fresh food and an unbelievable salad bar, followed by an epicurean carnivore experience. I will say the Passion Fruit Caipirinha is next level tasty. Those gauchos glide through the tables with skewers of tasty meat delights with such efficiency that it surpasses one's ability to chew rapidly. The resturant is beautifully appointed and the service is fabulous. The chosen title for my autobiography is "Beyond Satiety" and I think I'll give Texas de Brazil a full chapter. read more

Texas de Brazil - Birmingham - Meat!! - Brazilian Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

Texas de Brazil is a good date night spot. Especially if you come with a hungry man like I did lol. The service was good and the decor is very nice. The only thing I didn't like is that they seat you pretty much back to back with your neighbors. My drink was weak. I forgot what it was called but it was pretty much a regular lemonade. The sides they give you are just ok. The fries weren't good and the fried banana was ok but we got one that was pretty much cremated. You only get two. The potatoes were pretty tasty. The salad bar is lackluster and the lobster bisque I had just wasn't a good lobster bisque. I was disappointed. The meats were pretty tasty though. The only one I didn't care for was the Parmesan crusted pork. Everything else was seasoned well and good! I wouldn't rush to come back but it was good. read more

Walked in as a solo business traveler and was quickly greeted and sat in a section alone. Server was great but for the value the food was sub par. Salad bar did not have balsamic vinegar and 5 team members that I interacted with had no idea what I was saying (language barrier.) BreaD came out hot and fresh but all of the sides came out at different times. Was weird French fries was one of the three sides and were barely warm as well as the bananas. Have been to almost every location in the country and this has to have been an off night. Would return but hopefully a busier night has better results. read more

Years ago, there was a Texas de Brazil in Vestavia Hills near our house. We went once and weren't that impressed because the meat was well done and very dry. Jump to 2023, and we received a Texas de Brazil gift card from our kids. My husband and I were excited to try the restaurant a second time. Our second experience was so much better. I highly recommend it and definitely bring an appetite. If you have never been, it is a cool concept. They have buffet style tables with vegetables and salads and all-you-can-eat grilled meat that is carved tableside. The meat this time was good, medium well, and not dry. So much better. My favorite meats were the bacon wrapped filet and chicken. My husband enjoyed the flank steak and the lamb, and yes, it was all you could eat! My suggestion is to take your time and slowly try everything. Otherwise, you will get overwhelmed with the amount of food that comes your way. Our servers were Journey and Brianna, and they were both very personable. I highly recommend both of them. Some other favorites of the night were the cocktails. Journey and Brianna recommended the Caipirinha, which is a Brazilian cocktail. We tried the peach, and it was delicious. They recommended the coconut, so we tried it, and they were right. So good!! Besides the meat coming to your table. They will also bring cheese bread, garlic mash potatoes, and sweet bananas. All were great. Definitely try the cheese bread, especially when it is hot and right out of the oven. It is glutton free with white cheddar in the middle. To end the evening, we ordered their Brazilian cheesecake to go. Can't wait to try it tomorrow!. read more

As a to go/ delivery order.... It was near perfect! So many well seasoned meats that were cooked perfectly!.... Except the filet. The only reason I cannot leave a 5/5 is the Filet was asked for medium rare and some pieces were medium well and others rare. A little home cooking fixed the undercooked pieces but the OVER cooked pieces could not be made better. The sides were Devine. Fresh ingredients with wonderful flavors! The cheese bread is addictive, I should have ordered more!! The Chimichurri is such a nice touch and addition to the order and truly complements every cut of meat. Having dined in multiple times with a less perfect and enjoyable experience, the delivered order was wonderful! Worth the prices for the quality and portion size. read more

My Grandgirls and I celebrated their perfect report cards here recently. Went there at opening time. The staff was outstanding and rewarded them for their efforts with free desserts. We decided to only have the salad and soup because we had a family event later. It was outstanding and might be what we do in future visits. Everything was fresh and healthy. The lobster bisque and bread was an amazing addition. Before I dropped them at home later, they were already excited for duplicate grades to go back. I love taking them out and enjoying great food. They are little foodies just like me. We all really enjoyed lunch and will be back next grading period if not before. read more

Really fun place to go. 200$ for two adults and two drinks. Service great everyone is super friendly. Doesn't seem tho they use the red stop green go cards? Felt like once we were ready for meat they just came and came. Felt like you had to get all the meat at one time. For a 200$ dinner would have liked some music playing (ambience needs some work) & a bit longer of a meal! read more

Just went tonight (6-29-25) for our anniversary dinner. By far the worst dining experience of my life. Started fine at first. We were seated quickly. Waiter was nice and explained everything to us since it was our first time. I asked if they had any medium well meat. He says yes and that there will be a variety of meats at different temperature on offer. Drinks were quick. There was hot food (gratin potatoes, rice, soup) and salad/charcuterie things to the side. All of it was very tasty. Amazing salad bar. To note: they have signs on the table that you flip over to indicate you're ready for or are finished with your meat. Everything was great up until the meat course. We wanted to finish our salad before moving in to meat. I was fixing to get up and grab new plates for us since we were finally ready. We were bombarded with people before we could even get up and get new plates, let alone flip our table signs over. They kept swarming me specifically because they had medium well meat on their skewer but my boyfriend also felt very harassed. He was told a piece of meat was well done but it was absolutely not. They had also clearly been off the heat for a bit because none of the meat was hot at all. It wasn't stone cold but it certainly wasn't hot either. Once I had a bit of everything I wanted to try I tried to tell two people no. I was flustered because I had one on each side of me. I ended up inhaling too quickly and something spicy got caught in the back of my throat. I started coughing uncontrollably. They ran off and I started chugging water. I had put chimichuri on my food and the oil was not going down easy so it just lingered. Ran out of water very quickly. My throat was burning and it hurt SO badly. The drainage was triggering my acid reflux which just made it worse. I was coughing for quite a while and nobody offered me water even though at least 4 servers walked by in the interim. I was very upset and started to feel sick so I asked my boyfriend if we could leave. We asked for the check, explained what was going on and our waiter brought it to us. He apologized and said he would bring us the manager. We paid the check and told her what was happening. She also apologized but sounded extremely insincere and just acted like she couldn't be bothered to deal with us. She said that she would speak to them and that this had been an issue before multiple times. I'm sorry but if you've had to speak to them multiple times this should have been taken care of a long time ago. Her tone makes us doubt whether she even will speak to them. Like I said, we paid and then we left. On the way home we decided to call them because truthfully, we should have been offered something more than what transpired to make up for the experience. They didn't do anything to make the situation right. When we got home, we called them and asked to speak to a manager. We asked for a refund and they basically just hung up. We called back and they put us on hold for so long that it had to have been deliberate. We hung up, called again and got hold of the district manager. They basically blew us off and told us they couldn't go anything and to call corporate on Monday. We would have accepted whatever they thought was appropriate but to basically tell us to screw off with no proper apology for what happened is unacceptable. Both I and my boyfriend have worked in food for years and we would be extremely embarrassed to have someone experience this and then not do anything about it. It's one thing to have a bad night occasionally but the way it's handled really shapes people's opinion of your establishment. This situation has guaranteed we will not be stepping foot back on their premises. For $50+ per person, there are much better deals around and I would go literally anywhere else before going back. read more

Meat was terrible. Service was awful. Manager was rude. Server tried to charge us triple on two checks. Unbelievable We have been celebrating every holiday here for years. Needless to say, we will never be back. If I could give a zero I would. read more

The quality of fine dining is measured by the dessert. The crème boule was nothing short of amazingly delicious. The flavor of the cinnamon was perfectly mixed. My meat choices were endless and they kept coming! The waitress and servers were well informed and offered a plethora of information for this connoisseur. My only negative comment is the heat. The building was quite warm but the meal made up for the little sweat. Make your reservation and enjoy. read more

They ask me the question "oh no! What could improve? The answer is EVERYTHING, but the tri tip, flank steak, cold peal shrimp, plantains, fries and lobster bisque. The salad dressing wasn't nasty, i took one bite and put it down. Simply and plainly the meat was over medium rare more like mid well and well done on most items. The steaks were under seasoned. In my honest opinion if you know how to cook a steak go buy yourself a good cut and cook it your self. Don't waste the money on this place. If you cant cook maybe it the place for you! read more

My boyfriend and I decided to come here for a nice dinner to celebrate our four-year anniversary together, and it was such a great time! We decided to dine in for the first time, and our waitress was well-informed and made sure we knew the deal before getting started with our plates. The ambience was dim but lively. It got overwhelming with so many meats being offered, even when the coasters were flipped to red, but the cuts were still very good (especially the picanha). Overall, it was a good experience, and I would definitely like to return. I will say the bathrooms were a little messy, and a paper towel dispenser would be more appropriate to keep water from getting all over the place. read more

I wish I could give a -5. Maybe one of the worst restaurants I have ever reviewed. 1. Horrible greeting and "attitude" from hostess/manager 2. 10 minute wait for drink order 3. bad wine first attempt (about 3 day old glass) 4. Salad bar was average not great but adaquate 5. all of the meat was well done, salty and tasteless. 6. No red/green disk (said they ran out)????? What? 7. Margarita tasted like 7 up with a little cheap tequila. 8. Place smelled like a backed up sewer. 9. Air conditioning was not really working. Other than that, not too bad. I predict they will loose their franchise/ and or go out of business. This was horrible and I lived in Texas for 30 and also travel to Brazil 3 times and year. How could this place be so bad. The attitude of the manager/supervisor was scary. I bet that place is not fun to work at. Trying for all of the staff was lacking, very obvious the food and service and going to tank this place. Bathroom smelled like and open grave. read more

Had anniversary dinner there last night, place is very nice, very clean, modern, organized. Service was awesome, young lady was very good. The sides and salad bar items were very good and unique, lots of choices. Meat was good but not great, lacked spice and some were over cooked and some undercooked. It was pricey but expected. We enjoyed our evening. read more

The service was horrible! Our drinks were empty for a long time and we finally had to ask a different server if he would please bring us some water. Our waitress only came to our table a couple of times and that includes bringing us our checks. Also, I only had the salad bar (no meat service) and she charged me full price for the meal. I will never return. It is not worth the price. read more

Overall a pretty dated experience. Interior and service was bland and the food is subpar at best. Was hoping for more having the price so high! read more

Our server was abominable. All she had to do was to take and deliver drink orders which she failed at. The manager had to step in and deliver our mixed drinks. The people serving the meat did a fabulous job. Food was o.k. We won't be back to this location. read more

This is a great place, although I'm not sure the staff always adheres to the chips on the table. One size means stop, and the other indicates you're ready for another slice of meat of sorts. The venue is adequately lit and premises very well kept. Decor is beautiful and the location is great. Parking can be iffy, however that's normal in any city. If you're looking to try a great variety of meats, then stop by. It's a little pricey, but well worth it. Enjoy! read more

For NYE dinner we decided on Texas de Brazil. We hadn't been here in years. It was definitely the right choice. It was just as good as I remembered. Wonderful service and atmosphere, and of course all the food was amazing. I love all the wonderful choices at the salad bar. The lobster bisque was especially good. Although they were all delicious, everyone particularly liked the parmesan crusted pork, flank steak and the chicken. Make sure you're hungry because there is a lot of deliciousness you won't be able to resist! read more
