Service was great but $200 for two people is outrageous, save your money and go to Texas Roadhouse or another steak place for a quarter of the price read more

Not the way anyone wants to start off the New Year. Please read this....I was not the only one who experienced this awful establishment.... Went for the first time for me with family on January 1, 2025. There were 5 of us (parents had been once before), of which we made a 6:15pm reservation for seating. We arrived at 6:05pm. At 6:25pm we inquired about seating and were told they were "behind" and it would be another 15 minutes "most likely." Because 2 members of our family are seniors, we asked for a table on the main floor so they would not have to walk up and down the stairs with their food, getting to and from the salad bar. We were told "that would not be a problem." We were finally seated at 6:40pm. As they led us towards the stairs, I reminded them of our request to be on the main floor....the woman who seated us ignored everything we said and just pointed to the table and walked away. After minutes of trying to relocate, we were told it would be an hour wait for another table. So we sat and managed the situation on our own. My expectation was food being brought to us in such quantities that we would be stuffed for days! The reality was no sides brought to us until we asked 5 times. No drinks. Asked for butter 4 times and when it arrived it was frozen. The entire section by the bar had at least 10 minute wait time between each person coming to the table to offer some type of meat. When the meat got to our section, it was pretty much gone. The skewers were pretty bare. The meat was cold...and I could not get over the amount of time it was taking to bring food to people. Tables and tables of people just sitting with empty plates waiting for more food to come out. At $52 a plate...there was an expectation of better service, food and attentiveness. None existed. Spoke with "manager" and his response was that they were really busy and nothing he could do. His patronizing attitude turned into "there is nothing we can do so you just have to wait." Trying to be patient....it wore on us. When I told both "managers" we were going to leave, all of a sudden there was a train of people carrying meat coming to our table. Too little too late. Earlier in the evening, a gift card was purchased for our parents to enjoy at a later date. After this experience, we asked for a refund and they said "we cannot refund here, you have to speak with corporate office." We had handed them $100 bill, but they refused to return. Great customer service. Frustration built and at no time did either "manager" attempt to rectify the situation. Offer a discounted meal or a free dessert. Make some attempt to save face and show your customers that you are sorry for the worst dining experience one could hope for. But nothing....just a smug look and back handed comments towards us. After some awful comments were made, we got up to leave. The manager told us that if we did not pay our bill then he would call the police. Call the police! I didn't realize that's how "managers" perform customer service....call the police. Especially when everything that happened was in their control. I was speechless. At no point was there a suggestion to leave without paying....must be his incredible managing experience that led him to that conclusion. With all that....the discriminatory nature in which they treated us, and others, was inexcusable. If you don't have the staff to work the room...then you don't seat people. You don't try to belittle a guest because you have fallen short on your ability to provide good service. I would have accepted adequate service! You try to fix a situation and create good will towards the people paying your salary. And most of all, provide some understanding and willingness to better a situation. But no one there that night was capable of any of that. I NEVER write reviews....but this was the most heinous display of unprofessionalism in a restaurant I have ever seen and experienced. How was the food?? Cold, small, tasteless and not worth the time or expense to try. Find another place to eat. There are so many amazing places in the Cincinnati area that are not chains, local great spots, and don't employ people who are there to just collect a paycheck...carrying the title "manager." You will be disappointed. If I could give "no star" I would. The one-off reviews here that show a positive experience are the exceptions. read more

I'm pretty surprised by the negative reviews. We went last Sunday at 4:30. We were at promptly with a party of 5 2 adults and 3 kids. Service was great! They brought out the meats at a steady rate and we never had to ask for more. The salad bar was delicious and fresh. I have had horrible experiences at other Brazilian Steakhouses that have since closed but this one we will be back soon! read more

Great food, great service. The restaurant's atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great place for dinner. read more

We had to wait over 30 mins for someone to close our check out. I ended up having to go to the host desk to grab someone. Our dinner reservations was at 545 and we were done by 650. Couldn't leave until 730. We only had someone come to our table twice; once to grab our drink order and the second time to deliver the drinks. There was no one else besides the guys bringing the meat. Super disappointing. read more

We tried this place for the first time with friends 3 or 4 weeks ago. We loved it so much, my wife and I came back for our anniversary this past Friday. The food is fantastic. So many great choices on the salad bar. The meat is so flavorful. The service was also fantastic. Our waitress was great. she recommended a drink to my wife, and she loved it. The meat kept coming faster than we could eat it. Several times we had to turn our "tags" to the red side so we could catch up. It's just a great experience all around. Both times we were there the manager stopped at our table to make sure we were happy. If you haven't tried it yet, do it! We will go back again soon. read more

Got there at 4 and it wasn't super crowded yet. By 5 there was a wait. Food was amazing and everything appeared clean. Our waiter Mike was even like, "if there's a meat you all would like I will have them bring it right over." Sure enough we loved the bacon wrapped fillet and had it brought to the table again stat! The room itself was beautiful too! read more

The Service was incredible! I appreciated the staff waiting on hand for us. Interior was beautiful as well. The meats were tender and juicy as expected however I would like to add that they were too salty and over seasoned to my liking. We saw how much was being added and thought the place could with less of it. read more

Excellent! Never dissatisfied, one of the few places that live up to expectations. I recommend this place to everyone who desires Great Food, Great Service and a memorable night out read more

The night started off pretty well, we were seated fairly quick and on time for our reservations; however there was no waiting area inside so everyone was crowded everywhere waiting to be seated (ourselves and 4 other tables). The best part was our server was great, offered suggestions, was available but not over bearing, and the servers handling the meats were quick and friendly. The food itself though was meh. Not bad, but not really that great either. Also when asking for dessert, they bring out a tray that visually show you all of the items.... we purchased the cheesecake which was SIGNIFICANTLY smaller that represented. Overall, service and ambiance were the positives but the food itself will not meet expectations and is probably the worst of the Brazilian Steakhouses that I have been to. read more

We had dinner here tonight. All I can say is your experience will vary wildly based on where you sit. We were seated at the table literally in the lobby. Right by the exterior doors and hostess stand. One of the most awkward dining experiences ever. We asked for a different table but were informed this was the table assigned to our reservation. To be fair food was good and service was decent. However, we spoke to manager about the layout and informed we won't be back. read more

Very well mannered employees, amazing food & very accommodating services! Definitely will be visiting again soon

Took the family to this restaurant. After we were seated we waited 20 minutes and no waitress or waiter. We ended up leaving and will not return. read more

My family of three decided to go to Texas de Brazil for a late lunch on New Years Day and we were very disappointed with the whole experience. When we sat down, we waited for about 20 minutes before we even got our drinks. We never got bread or were told about the signature sides that we could order. The sides included with the salad bar were fine but you could tell the warm items had been setting out for too long. When the meat skewers finally started to come out, there were hardly any options. When you look at their website, you see 13 options; however, while we were there we only had the option of Flank Steak, Parmesan Chicken, Brazilian Sausage or Picanha. I kept waiting for Filet, something wrapped in bacon, or Lamb but none ever came. After a while I asked about lamb chops and found out that those are an additional charge. So I ordered 4 lamb chops for $9. These ended up being sent back to the kitchen. They were tiny, over cooked (well done), and had a seasoning on them that just did not work. When I sent them back, the guys asked if I requested medium rare. I told him that the correct way to cook lamb chops is medium rare unless requested different....not the other way around. In addition to the limited options, everything was extremely salty. I am not sure why it was all so salty but we will not be back. $225 for 3 people and we left super unhappy and stomachs hurting. read more

The slowest Brazilian steakhouse experience I've been a part of. Over the first 30 minutes, we got 3 meats. The normal waitress was good and attentive, but the meat service is horribly slow. When the meat came, it was either raw or extremely well done, see the picture attached. read more

Waited here for 30 minutes and the only meat that came by was raw lamb. Then the waitress thought it was a good idea to ask if we were ready for the dessert cart. When we told her that we hadn't gotten any edible meat they started bringing a bunch of well done cuts of beef. The food was very bad but the waitress was attentive and the service improved slightly at the end of our visit. read more

This is one classy restaurant, the food was great and the atmosphere and staff was beyond great. Dine here you will truly enjoy it.

We have been to many Texas De Brazils on vacations so we were very excited to have one open in Cincinnati. We decided to go for my husband and daughter's birthday. The salad bar was delicious and the cheese bread was hot and fresh. The meat, which is what we went for, was disgraceful. Usually they come around with a good variety. This night they offered flank steak at a 5:1 ration for everything else. They did not come around with a lot of their cuts unless we specifically asked for them. Their steak was also cooked well done. No pink and with a crisp on the outside. We did have one round of flank steak come as rare (we are medium people). Our server was also not attentive which is also opposite to every other location we had been to. The environment was very bright and loud. The others we have been to were quiet and dim, a better nice dinner ambiance. read more

Visiting from NYC to visit daughter at Xavier. It was carnivores dream. Waitstaff was great. Everybody. Cliff from the Bronx.

We started at the bar. The house red wine was good, smooth with a little bite. Then we got our seats. Mackenzie was our server and guided us through how to get the food. The salad bar was tasty with a good selection of cheese, meats and other treats. Try the pineapple. Then came the meats. The people serving the meats were friendly and stopped by often when we had the green sign. The bacon wrapped filet was delicious and cooked right. I was tried the bacon wrapped chicken and the shrimp. We ate at our pace and did not feel rushed. When we were full, we got a key lime pie to go. I am told it was great, she didn't share, so it must have been. :) We will have to go back again. read more

so much meat, so many different kinds of meat, the service is definitely dedicated to feeding you. all i have to say is if you are hungry stop here. if you want an intimate place where you can have a cornucopia of meat selections stop here. this is a 10 star place to eat read more

worst dining experience ever . what little food we were offered was good but customer service in every capacity was horrible. our reservations were for 6:15, did not get seated till 6:45 in a dark corner, we asked for a table on the main floor as members of our party are elderly and did not want to negotiate steps and were denied. there was a communication problem with the waitress and we had to ask for everything. the meat servers were scarce and we were only offered a portion of the options. we spoke to the manager who was extremely rude and condescending. overbooked and understaffed. this was our third visit but it will be our last. read more
