Outstanding experience! We dined at this location last night. I have been to the restaurant before but this was my fiancé's first time. Host greeted us immediately upon arrival. We did have a reservation, highly recommend getting a reservation! Our server, Daniela, was superb!! Definitely one of the best servers I've ever had in my entire life. She explained everything and was super attentive. The gauchos were friendly and always approached our table. Meats were always hot and portions were always good size. All of the other staff seemed to be working hard and hustling around clearing tables and plates and serving guests. Hot and cold side food bars were continually checked on and filled with fresh products. I liked the ambiance. Decor was appropriate and the high ceilings helped with any restaurant noise. The shift lead/floor manager always having eyes on all aspects of the flow in the restaurant. Overall a really great evening. We drove over an hour for this experience and we left extremely satisfied! Thank you for a most memorable evening! read more

One of the strangest dining experiences my husband and I have ever had. The server started off by bringing a bottle of wine to our table, setting it down, and fully tried selling it to us. When we rejected the bottle, he left it at our table until we ordered something else. I am all for getting your sales up, but this was incredibly weird. The steak was good, and the individuals bringing it over were great. Our night ended with this complimentary birthday... plate? Again, very strange for a restaurant of this price point. I am not from here, and was expecting a very different experience. You're better off going to any other steakhouse in the area. read more

Texas de Brazil - Meee sooo hungwee - Steakhouses Near Me - Farmington, Connecticut

I went to Texas de Brazil in Hartford during a layover and somehow ended up having Thanksgiving dinner 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. read more

Went here to celebrate a birthday. The location was nice but we were seated behind a column so it was hard to make eye contact with the gauchos to get meat, we got walked past a decent bit during the bigger dinner rush. My seat was also a bit in the aisle and I felt like I was about to trip someone! The meats were good, not everything made its way to us (like sausage and chicken and lamb) but we still got a lot of different steaks and almost all were very delicious, seasoned well. Salad bar was fun but again, nothing too crazy. We also didn't get fries on our table, but I did notice other tables did, not sure what that was about. The mashed potatoes and the banana were great! They made note we were celebrating a birthday and it was our first time but then nothing really came from that either. It was fun to share a new experience and eat some different meats, but I probably will keep this a one time celebration dinner! read more

For years I heard the hype. For years I thought it could not be as advertised due to being in a shopping mall. Then... my oldest son turned 18. We wanted something different. Simply outstanding. From the service to the feel to the selection. Any dietary preference can be more than amply accommodated. Don't let anyone in your family/friends group use the argument of "I don't eat meat" as a barrier to entry. The sides and salad bar should be named something more substantial as they surpass any expectation of what those terms used to mean. The meats... OMG. And the best part is you can learn which cuts you prefer the most and your server will help guide the carvers to you. Amazing. Tips: 1) come hungry 2) budget $60 per person with tip (if not drinking alcohol) 3) make a big charcuterie plate for the table as you also enjoy your salads and soups, etc. 4) get a plate for meat. And a plate for sides. 5) the lamb varieties and the Picanha beef are fantastic. The beef ribs put it over the top 6) the carrot cake is worth the drive 7) walk the mall before and after to allow you recover. But you'll be smiling so widely. Simply a must go. read more

Texas de Brazil - My "salad" plate to start. This place is fantastic. Was eating too frantically to take any other photos. - Steakhouses Near Me - Farmington, Connecticut

Everything was fantastic. Food, service and ambience. We have returned several times and plan on returning in the future.

I brought my husband here for a milestone birthday. We love churrascarias so a Brazilian steakhouse like this was perfect for us. You can try all different meats and the salad bar has plenty of variety as well. Everything was really tasty. We got a bottle of red wine to enjoy the meat with and then a really delicious dessert. Definitely worth a visit . read more

Outstanding! Arrive hungry, don't go overboard at the salad bar and prepare to enjoy some of the best meats you've ever had. Our server was outstanding and the drinks were great. A little pricey, but you'll remember this dinner for quite a while. read more

Always delicious. We have date night here regularly. Just don't let them sit you by the hostess bc they WILL forget about you or you'll get the end of the meat sticks. read more

I've been here once before and this place is great for special occasions!! Came here for a family members birthday and our server, Amanda, did such a fantastic job. She was prompt, on top of drinks and checked in to see if there were other meats we missed or wanted to try and notified the servers. She even asked how we liked our meats cooked even with the continuous serving layout! For constant meat service, you will always have a full plate! And for being inside of a mall, the ambiance is perfect! Not too dark, with a mellow laid back feel. You start off at the table where the sever gives a quick run down of how they cook their Brazilian style meats (rock salt) and how to use the green and red signs (yes for more food/no to stop serving). There is a HUGE drink menu to choose from also, a la carte. You start off at the salad bar with various toppings and dressings, a variety of imported cheeses and meats. Green beans, potato salad, fruits and veggies, couscous, smoked salmon, rice and beans, tabouli, specialty soup (we had lobster bisque)... and I'm missing some still!! You ALSO get fries, creamy mashed potatoes, sweet cinnamon bananas and Brazilians cheese bread that keeps coming out fresh! There are 16 different meats to choose from (beef, pork, chicken, lamb, sausage) and are seasoned different ways. Bacon wrapped, Parmesan rub, garlic marinated... **Everything is SO good, and I suggest NOT filling up at the salad bar in order to try all the different means! You get full quick! There are also many dessert options to choose from...flan, creme brulee, different pies and cakes, custards. We had the Brazilian cheese cake (chocolate, caramel and nuts), Carrot cake and a chocolate mouse. read more

I was honestly disappointed with my experience at this steakhouse. I love Brazilian steakhouses but this one felt incomplete. The restaurant presentation was really nice and looking more upscale and the staff were all friendly and nice. So it was the standard salad bar and flip your card to green for Meats to arrive. Our waitress asked us how we liked our meat but that didn't seem to matter cause everything that came seem to be raw, rare or medium rare when we said medium well. They brought one well done steak but that seemed more burnt. It was a full house so I can understand the service being slowly so they can tend to everyone but it seemed like they slowed down drastically on serving our table meat. I left an all you can eat buffet hungry pretty much sums it up. Maybe I gone on a bad day but I don't think I'll be going back. read more

I love this place service was amazing very nice people!, the food was a hit or miss depending on if you like medium rare meat or over cooked like for me I'm a medium rare girl but my boyfriend isn't so we would switch the meat if I have something this wasn't medium rare then we would like the food. Very seasoned. Too this is my new favorite place! Our bill was $250 got 4 alcoholic drinks two desserts and two of the all you can eat. read more

Great food, great service, great ambiance. You'd never know this place was attached to a mall. When you walk in through the heavy wooden doors, you are transported to a quiet, intimate steakhouse. All you can eat grilled meats, a full salad bar, multiple soups, and bread options. This place is heaven for your taste buds. Plus, an excellent assortment of signature cocktails and mocktails. Our waiter was friendly, fun, and efficient. He really made us feel at home and was happy to join in with our goofiness. I'll definitely go back next time I'm in the area! read more

Great service from the staff, and the steak was awesome. The salad bar was crazy good as well! Highly recommend this place."

Three of us got sick. Hasn't been fun. It's gone downhill since they first opened. I have had good experiences in the past.

This was an incredible experience. My nibling turned 8, and this was his choice for his birthday dinner. He has a sophisticated palate for such a young age. The salad bar was enormous. Between the 3 of us, we selected a vide variety of charcuterie, salads and sides. The salmon was tender, the taboleh was fresh, it was all wonderful. The staff could not have been more accommodating, especially our server, Thomas. He paid special attention to my nibling, which was so appreciated. All of the meats were tasty, especially the picanha. The lamb was epic as well. read more

Texas de Brazil - Salad bar - Steakhouses Near Me - Farmington, Connecticut

two sad stars, I'm actually upset, but not losing any sleep over it (well maybe from the GI issues) yea, so 745 res, sat around 830, but as I feared, this place was pretty much decimated by now and we got the dregs. hey, the party had a nice time, but as they didn't really know better. total zoo at the host stand, I'd be livid if my table was anywhere around there. the whole area was full of irate customers, the vestible was wide open letting in cold air, and it was packed like a can of sardines, total fire hazard, complete fubar. I will point out, one irate party in particular didnt comprehend the law of nature stating only one person can be in one place at any given time (their table wasnt ready) and the hostess with a GREAT amount of poise told them to get bent. salad bar was meh, didn't try the bisque didn't want to chance it, but still had to test out the WC by the end of our 'experience.' also, the lack of supporting sauces for all my meats, also not a good look speaking of which, i popped into the bathrooms just to check it out, just in case...not so clean, and nearly not enough stalls for what this place is all about, which is meat. i wont go into any more details, but yea. soooooo expensive, like car payment territory, totally not getting my utility here. i think this is one of the worst parts of my experience, paying out the nose for mid tier experience. our server was nice, the gaucho were very infrequent and the offerings were lacking, at least they didn't run out of filet. also, i couldnt understand 75% of what they were saying, yes it was loud, but also im sure after 7 hours of walking around with a spear of meat, youd be over it too. maybe have a sign around your neck what your walking around with?? in close, not going back, i would recommend you consider this advice yourself if you dare to care. this was underdone read more

Got to be honest, not a big fan of this place. Really not about the food which I felt was very good, is just that on a busy day you just sit waiting for the servers to bring the meats. First you pay something like $55 for all you can eat, you can go to an area to get salad, rice, beans, bread etc, things to compliment your meats. The problem is you start eating, you run out of meat as you dint want to get a lot pieces (as you want to try the other and not get full), and then wait for the guys to come back. So in the mean time you are eating a bunch of non meat stuff, filling yourself up, with not enough people bringing meat out. Felt a bit like a sacm if you ask me, like we give you all these meat but won't be able to eat it because you will get full with non meat stuff. I was very frustrated at this place to say the least and was so expensive! Won't be coming back, or if I do will have to be on a slow day. read more

Texas de Brazil - Plan wout meats as I kept waiting for the servers to walk by - Steakhouses Near Me - Farmington, Connecticut

I got the churaccassa plate to go. Parmesan pork and $2 more for leg of lamb with two sides of Parmesan potatoes au gratin and mushrooms. The only thing edible was the mushrooms. Both meats were dried out pieces of shoe leather that were overly salty. There was double the amount of pork than lamb. The potatoes were not cooked through and there were literally four slices in the side. I feel bad for the seated diners who paid $57.99 for this crap. What a waste of my money. read more

Overall I got in & man I was overwhelmed with the food I got. Don't get me wrong because I've done this before but it's with a Texas thing plus it's at same token staying in Brazilian tradition with the music & such.

As someone who doesn't particularly like steak, I was skeptical about visiting Texas de Brazil. However, I had a great experience and I can't wait to go back! I typically eat chicken and the two chicken options in the all-you-can-eat selection were amazing. Each diner is given a coaster that you can flip to indicate you are ready for more meat, or if you need a break. When your coaster is green, there is no end to the amazing servers coming around with meat to slice off. The salad bar is also excellent and the fried banana was to die for. Make sure to come hungry to get the best value! read more

I wasn't impressed. A lot of the meat we were getting was very rare and we told them and they still didn't change the status. I asked not to be seated by the door. I thought it would be drafty... The receptionist says well I stand up here and I don't feel it so I said OK we'll try it. It was drafty for the amount of money we spent. I don't think it was worth it. We had a nice time, however, and we were on a time schedule for another event. read more

I've been to this location a few times and had a wonderful experience each time! The food selection and quality was fantastic and even my dad (who is hard to please at restaurants) had nothing bad to say. I will say that it seems to be way busier on weekends, so make sure to make a reservation, especially around peak hours. read more

This was our first time here and I would have never expected to find such a good restaurant like this in a mall. Great ambiance, great food, and very good service. My wife and I sat at the bar and had some drinks and appetizers. They don't have any beer on tap, only bottled beer. (not a big deal, I found a good one) We shared a couple of appetizers. I liked the lobster bisque, it has a very good lobster flavor, but literally no pieces of lobster (big or small) , None. Their cheese bread is also good. Overall, I'd say if I'm in the area, I will stop in again, but otherwise I won't go out of my way to go back. read more

The salad bar is old and there is no variety. The service is painfully slow even though it was less than half full. The Key Lime pie was ok but was definitely old. The only two good things were the meat and the ambiance. If you do eat here, just get the meat and hot sides, everything else sucks. read more

If you're looking for a good place to take your meat-loving partner for date night -- you literally cannot beat Texas de Brazil. I made reservations for my boyfriend and I to celebrate Valentine's Day here and I'm so happy we did. It was his first time visiting and we ended up staying for 2.5 hours because he couldn't get enough. From the fresh sides at the salad bar to the endless choices of meet, every single thing we ate was delicious. We also shared a pitcher of the red sangria which was the perfect compliment to our meal. Special thanks to the carvers who quickly became my boyfriend's best frieour server who never rushed us or made us feel like it was time to vacate the table. read more

If you love meat, especially beef, this is definitely the place for you. I'm more of a chicken and fish eater but I'm still giving this place a 5 star review. We decided last minute to go out for Easter. My boyfriend always wanted to try this place so we were happy that they had space for us. They usually open at 3 PM, but we're open early for the holiday. Since I don't eat much beef or pork, I got the salad bar only which was more than enough food and I could take as many trips as I liked. I didn't need meat when I could get myself full off of the lobster bisque, eggs and bacon, shrimp, salad, smoked, salmon, scalloped potatoes, potato salad, veggies, sides, and many salad options. Waiters continually came to the tables with long skewers of meat, and the meat lovers at my table said everything was full of flavor. We loved that the manager walked around greeting everyone and saying happy Easter, and we asked him a few questions. It was really cool to learn how they slow roast the meats; and he gave us a tip that if you get takeout, the stakes are offered by the pound at a very reasonable price. The interior of the place is very beautiful. You definitely don't feel like you're in a mall restaurant. The Brazilian traditional drink capirihina was so refreshing! This definitely is a place to go when you want to splurge on a lot of calories, so save it for a special occasion. You even get free dessert if it's a birthday celebration. My next visit will probably be for happy hour at the bar. I think they have a very small menu of different items for happy hour. read more

If you're a meat eater or know a meat eater then Texas De Brazil is the place to go. You would think since it is at a mall it wouldn't be good. But this place never disappoint me. I like taking people here on special occasions. The service is great and place is well lit. The tables are spaced out enough that it's comfortable. This place has a large salad bar with different items like cured meats, salad, grill/fresh vegetables and cheese. I always get the fresh asparagus with orange glaze and string beans. They also have a small hot bar that provides rice, soup and beans. Don't fill yourself up with the salad bar because there is a lot of meat the comes to the table. Each piece of meat comes hot and fresh and the waiter slice it up right in front of you. It keeps on coming until you flip the card to red. I always try to have a piece of everything. The filet mignon and the garlic picanha (top sirloin) are some of my favorite meat they serve. They also have delicious desserts. We tried their crème brûlée and it was creamy and not too sweet. A perfect way to end a big meal. read more

I had dinner with a friend whom I hadn't seen a while and we decided to eat at the bar and have the salad bar with an entree. The lobster bisque was fabulous as were the entrees however, we order 2 drinks at the bar because we had planned to sit at a table so I paid for the drinks.....$50+....outrageous for 2 nothing special drinks....after we finished up our dinner we split the bill and the bartender (who had no other guests) switched our cards and gave us each others bills. I realize I should have checked but she had no other guests so it didn't occur to either of us. Sooooo, the next day when my friend went to the ATM and could not get cash she realized and I had to drive an hour to her home to switch cards....needless to say this didn't make either of us very happy! The bartender should pay closer attention because she sure gauged us on the drinks!! read more

The great thing about this place is that it has excellent service. We came in at 5:30 without a reservation, but the manager was very accommodating. We were seated immediately, even during their busiest hour. The appetizers and buffet items were delicious. Our waiter made sure we were well taken care of. He made sure to refill our bread, mashed potatoes,plantains as well as our water glasses constantly. This place is great if you're a meat eater. The meats were all so delicious and cooked to your liking. At one point, we asked one of the meat servers to bring us a different meat instead. He immediately came out with the meat requested to our table. I really appreciated that. The place is a little on the pricier side but it is worth it if you are looking for a buffet of unlimited meats being brought to you! read more

I would definitely go back. read more

Night out for my girlfriends birthday celebration tonight on a rainy night to be eating our hearts out. I had purchased the VIP membership over the summer for $67 and wanted to use it by October 31st so I was able Ron apply the discount and we were able to eat for 1/2 price for each of our meals. This was definitely a deal. This was also her 1st experience at this Brazilian restaurant and I wanted to make sure it was a unforgettable dinner. Our waiter made it very special for her. Gave us the rundown and explained the salad bar and hot items available as well and what we get served to our table. When we are ready for our meat selection to use the red and green cards. Turn off and turn on. Asked us which meats we were interested in to have them come over to our table. Continued to ask us if everything was good. Removing our dirty plates. When I made the online reservation I indicated that we have a birthday. I'm so glad I did as the waiter mentioned that we have a complimentary dessert available. The birthday girls choice was the key lime pie. They have like 5 other chooses including a banana foster which would have been my selection. Next time forsure. My friends asked the waiter out of the blue what do they do with their left over bones at the end of the night. The waiter said I will check and ask for you. I figured it wouldn't happen but honestly I was wrong he came out with a brown bar with the bone in plastic wrap. He definitely went out of his way to making new customers happy to return again. read more
