TLDR; I don't recommend this place for groups of large families/friends based on my experience. Food; if you like really spicy food & really strong flavored food, then go and enjoy. Ambience; it's as loud as Cheesecake Factory. Service; only visit if you can sit as a small group of 4-5 people. There was much left to be desired but it was still a pretty good experience overall. Kelly helped us but we can tell genuine kindness vs "end of the day,i'm tired from working" mood. Whatever- at least she smiled. My irritation came from her taking away a utensil & drink set (which she was going to bring a plastic cup for the toddler but didn't) & she blamed us later saying it's probably on the table somewhere. She didn't even remember which person ordered what drink. Just bc the large parties (6+ ppl) automatically are charged 18% tip, doesn't mean we deserve less effort. But I digress- Let's just say it was the first and last time I'd be going. Not that the people were more terrible or the food was bad- it's just I think Brazilian bbq (maybe Brazilian food altogether) doesn't match my palate. I did try the dishes I wouldn't normally go for since it's the 1st time I tried Brazilian food; I had plenty of the salad & hot bar options. Idk if it was worth the AYCE pricing but let's just make it clear that it was obvious when people didn't want to deal with our size of group (11). We weren't louder than the other groups, the guac kept bringing out spicy picanha, Parmesan crusted chicken & picanha to us by randomly. She said she can bring out specific meat if we request but it's not like I saw her come by more than the guachos/gauchos. For the majority of our group, those dudes allowed 1 pc per meat choice per person. read more

10.15.24 a group get together for dinner at Texas De Brazil. This was my first time to this particular restaurant. Fortunately, it was a get together for a invite and so I had decided to attend on the day. That's a very important day one time out of the year..... my I did hear many things about this buffet and so it was a really good opportunity to see what it was all about . The service was very good. They had given us time to get drinks, and so service had went around and they attended to every single table as you can tell by the one picture there's three tables which had about maybe 20 people to each table and saw they had a huge group and we had been attended to quite nicely. I had ordered a Sauvignon Blanc And it was there a particular brand of wine for the restaurant so I guess it would be called the house wine. It was a good thing that I did pick the white because they're cold buffet had a lot of things that. Really nicely with that wine such as. - roasted cous cous salad, fresh roasted beats I'm kind of olive oil marinate, sliced not shaven Parmesan, sliced salmon, red and white onion slivers, sautéed mushrooms, fresh tabouli salad, white sauce potatoes at gratin, shrimp salad, Brie (a whole wheel) hearts of palm cut in long diagonals... ((All the things you see on my plate)) the waiters and waitresses were very accommodating. They were going around and they also had to deliver fries to the table, garlic, mashed potatoes to the table and some thing that had been rolled in cinnamon and sugar and it was banana, so I think it was like a banana fosters without the pudding. They seem to want to come around and collect the tickets when you're ready for your next drink, but the thing is they didn't come around enough times to serve water. We had one person at our table that was drinking, a lot of water and the waiters or the waitresses took a while to come back when we told them about three times, but other than that it was pretty busy for them they may have been going around and other people had requested things and what not so I give them a pass on that it's really hard to help 60 people when you have a lot of people requesting for things. in a sense that salad bar that they have is in my opinion very good even without the meat. I didn't even get any lobster bisque because there was just so much good cold food. I probably could've eaten just that portion. If I could just guess maybe I could try to ask them later, if there's a cost for eating without having any meat I have been on a pescatarian diet for a long time and I've only just implemented eating meat once every other week. Fortunately, that was that night on the 15th. I wouldn't mind returning, if given the chance .. read more

Texas de Brazil - The cold and some hot 10.15.24 Tuesday - Steakhouses Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Updated 01/03/26 - I decided to give Texas de Brazil in Honolulu a 2nd chance. New year, fresh start. So glad I did. We sat in the middle of the main room this time, and it was a huge difference. Granted, it wasn't the week of Christmas on Kama'aina Tuesday ;) Nonetheless, this is the experience that I remember from Las Vegas. Ku'ulei was our server and she was warm and friendly. Every gaucho that came by was incredibly kind...even though I only said "yes, please" to steak. I'm especially obsessed with the picanha and its perfectly seasoned and just-fatty-enough crust lol. What I loved the most is that I brought a friend with me who could only eat well-done cuts of meat and not only did they remember that, they brought both medium-rare and well-done options for each meat when they came around. Leadership is on point. I witnessed table touches at every table (including ours), and each interaction gave the impression of being genuine and not forced. I will definitely be returning after this experience. read more

Went on a Monday evening after exercise class. We were seated promptly and the servers bringing the meats and our table person was great. Meats came out hot and consistently. The host gave a recommendation for the beef ribs which were really tender. Wished we knew about beef ribs earlier. There wasn't a menu with a list of meats and prices. We did receive drink menus. The salad bar items looked fresh and we got full pretty quickly so didn't go back for seconds. As a gluten free diner, I wish they had signs that indicated if items contained allergens like gluten or dairy. When I asked my server which items were gluten free at the salad bar, the response was to look it up on the website. That's why my rating is a four instead of 5. It was a positive experience overall, but I think have a couple of letters on the signs that are already there informing people of the allergens would enhance the dining experience. read more

Service excellent! From the hostess to the waitress to the gauchos, everyone was attentive and personable. We had a five o'clock reservation, I like being the first when every dish is neat and just in from the kitchen. Now and most importantly the food. I loved the salad bar. From the fresh Parmesan and mozzarella to the variety of greens, fresh beets, roasted garlic and jalapeños, hearts of palm, asparagus, couscous, green beens and more, so fresh! I wish I weren't so full, I would have gone back for seconds. The hot bar could have been better. It was just ok. The black beans were over seasoned but it's fine cause the rice offset it. The other unlimited sides are brought to the table like mashed potatoes, fries, sweet plantains or bananas. The meats are the piece de resistance! My husband and mom raved about the lamb. I enjoyed my sirloin, filet, beef rib with their chimichurri (sorry mine is better haha). The caveat of course, desserts at an extra cost. All in all, great experience and my son had a wonderful birthday. read more

Definitely worth it if you go for their happy hour, not sure about paying full price for the dinner though as I don't eat that much meat. Service was great and attentive. The meat servers were very friendly and encouraged us to try different cuts of meat too. I like how their meats weren't oversalted like other Brazilian bbq place I've been to, and the meat was cooked just right too. Oh don't miss their filet mignon. Bomb! Also loved that they had lamb! It wasn't gamey at all. The buffet station got a bunch of good items too. My favorites were the charred cinnamon pineapple slices, the chimichurri sauce, the sautéed mushrooms. I wish I could like the lobster bisque but it was too salty! I had to pour some water into my soup to make it edible... They brought our fries and cheese bread for the table. I liked them both. The fries were battered, just how I liked them! Cheese bread wasn't the best I've had but I think it's because it wasn't served fresh hot. The desserts weren't included for happy hour but they did offer a discount so we ordered the key lime pie and carrot cake. They could taste better if they weren't so sweet. I couldn't finish either of them. Their drinks were discounted too. Their sangria was just OK. Overall it's a great experience. I'm not sure if I had to pay full price though. For the happy hour price it's worth it! read more

Had the most amazing experience at this restaurant! Me and my fiancé were looking for a great place to go to dinner on our first night in Oahu! We were told of this restaurant which was about a mile away from our hotel. We didn't mind the walk. Took a little bit of effort to find the hotel, was it was hard to find! This was a rodizio Brazilian steakhouse, with a Brazilian salad bar and then gaucho is coming around bringing different kind of meat. Our waiter Adam was absolutely wonderful, and had the coolest hair!!!! we were treated very nicely and two managers came up to talk to us! This place is really pricey $69.99a person, but you will not leave hungry. Beautiful salad bar, and then the amazing cuts of meat, with a picture of sangria the total bill for me and my fiancé were about $190 with tax and tip! read more

There is a 50% off special occurring until November 21st, 2024 (weekdays 4PM-6PM, no reservations). Texas de Brazil is worth the $39.99/person. Is the experience worth $79.99/person? Questionable. [Location] Texas de Brazil is located in Ala Moana Shopping Center, by Olive Garden and Macy's. I didn't see a restroom inside the restaurant but there's one very close by on the same floor. There's a lot more seating than I anticipated, though seats fill up quickly for the half-off deal! [Service] The hostess was efficient and very friendly. She's amazing! The employees carrying the meats are kind as well. My server for the night, Terry, was exceptional! Please be sure to tip the staff well. They work very hard! [Food & Drink] The salad bar is quite lovely, and well kept. I know people rave over the lobster bisque but it's a bit salty for my liking. Still worth a taste! You will get sides provided at your table such as the fries, mashed potatoes, bananas and cheese bread. The bread tastes great with the goat cheese from the salad bar. The meats are delicious, though you have to be mindful of how you pace yourself (especially during busy hours). The cocktails are worth the price! The desserts are just okay in my opinion. I highly recommend this experience to others! read more

DO NOT BE LATE OR YOU WILL MISS THE SLOTS. The promotion is for the bar and select tables, so it is possible to be there at opening and miss out. If you are going during the promotion time, it is best to get there at least 10 min before opening. Some people did intend to stay the full 2 hour happy hour slot, and were allowed to do so, so seats typically won't open up. Even trying to eat quickly, it took me over an hour to get to try all the meats and until 5:30 to pay and finish my dessert. So instead, take your time, relax. Assume you are locked in for an approximately 2 hour experience. And be glad you made it on time. Checking out requires a manager during the promotion, so it can take a bit. Dessert is a separate cost, but is also discounted. Total with my dessert was about $50, and adding in tip was about 60 total. General note - the spice level of the spicy meats was higher than my usual, but I prefer things milder, so it may be just right for you. Almost everything was amazing, with the exception of the lobster bisque, which was a bit bland when I got it at the evening's start. My meal highlights were the sent to table Garlic mashed potatoes; the salad bar Potatoes au gratin; and the Parmesan pork and Garlic picanha (roast beef) that were wandering items. Like in a dim sum restaurant, the main dish meats wander the room and come to you. Meats start slow at open but they do all come around. I was sitting at far end of bar, and service was still good. Do still try to watch the room. The Parm chicken came around twice, but most cuts didn't. My creme brulee was eggy with a hint of lemon, crunchy top but deep and creamy custard under it. I would get it again even at full price. The restaurant's bathroom was small but clean. The men's had two stalls. The door had one of those foot grips for opening it without touching the handle. The promotion was a wonderful thing to take advantage of, and with luck, I'll be able to afford the full price at some point. read more

Disappointing experience overall. The wait time between meat service was very long, and when the food finally arrived, nearly 90% of the meats were medium-well or overcooked. Most cuts were very tough and difficult to chew, if you're looking for a jaw workout, this is the place. Several items were burnt, and the overall quality was far below expectations. The pacing, texture, and execution just weren't there. Unfortunately, this location doesn't compare to Texas de Brazil locations on the mainland, which are significantly better in both service and meat quality. Would not return to this location. read more

When your menu is based on meat, this spot is a huge fail. Salty- greasy- over-seasoned-overcooked. The salad/vegetable bar had a good selection of sides- the fail was in that the serving utensils were left inside the platters and some had fallen into the food. Ugh. just not good sanitary food practices in my book. Servers were nice but that cannot redeem this rather sorry dining experience. Hard pass. read more

My boyfriend and I came here for dinner on July 4. It opens at 4 pm. Luckily we were the first ones to get here. I was so excited to eat the salad bar. Everything in the salad bar was good and so after we were served meats. A wide variety but I noticed the same ones coming. My boyfriend and I got meats such as lamb, prime rib, sausage etc..i forgot to post photos of the meat because it came out pretty quickly as we ate it. There's a green and red to say stop bringing the meats and we got to try a few rounds of the lamb which was good and juicy. Overall I would come back again but maybe with reservations because they may get busy.. Service was pretty good by our waiter. Trick is not to drink a lot but I was thirsty and drank 4 small cups of the iced tea. The inside was pretty big. I definitely enjoyed the salad bar. I should have loaded up on that but was looking forward to the unlimited meats but I felt like they didn't come by enough. Highly recommend. read more

This restaurant was very clean and delicious with excellent service from the server staff but I am putting down 2 star reviews because of the sheer disappointment in service from the staff who deliver and offer meat table to table. My party of 3 were seated directly behind the Hostess Desk and it felt as if we were ignored and treated as ghosts the entire time of our meal. We sat for nearly 2 hours and barely got any meat brought over to us with all of our coins flipped on the green side. The amount of times we were ignored or simply skipped over by the meat carvers was tripled or quadroupled than the amount of times they actually came, and that was not an exaggeration. (Mind you we were there for 2 hours, with over an hour of it waiting for meat to come by and trying to get the attention of the meat carving staff) Paying $70 per person whilst not even being given $10 worth of meat felt as if it were discrimination because of the lack of attention and awareness of the carving staff who blatantly ignored us. Even when our delightful server would direct the workers to come to our table with our choice of meat as requested, it would still take 10+ minutes after requests were given and we gave several notifications that they still have not come by. I would like to try this restaurant again but I am severely displeased about the primary aspect of this establishment where the manager also greeted us and told me "Please eat as much as you can" when we couldn't due to the neglect of the meat carving staff. read more

Was shopping in the mall in Hawaii and me and my family was hungry. We came across this place and thought it might be good. But I was wrong. The place says Tex-Brazil but didn't see anything that resembles Texas. They only had 2 good cuts of meat. The filet and flank. And they kept coming back with the salty Parmesan pork and chicken. 1 of the workers even came to the table with a plate of bones asking if we wanted short rib. The short rib was definitely overcooked. The thing that really made me mad was they stopped serving food about 20 minutes before we were even full until I had to get a server. read more

Texas de Brazil - Menu - Steakhouses Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I made dinner res at 5 PM in advance via OpenTable for four people. Check in process was a breeze. Highly recommend making res because there's a lot of people waiting outside and packed inside from 6 PM moving forward. Although we're seated at a table for four with each person dining, I felt that the table was small for our plates and beverages and distance behind and in front of us seemed closer with less room. Be careful and mindful not to bump a plate or spill a beverage. Our Server explained to us that this is Brazilian American BBQ. She was very courteous, helpful and informative. This is my third Brazilian BBQ experience, yet my first with Texas de Brazil. We enjoyed how the temperature for each of the meats and proteins served hot. We're really good at pacing ourselves throughout the meal with green circle for go and red circle to stop. Fave meats per preference were the picanha, garlic picanha, Parmesan pork and Parmesan drummette. Lobster bisque tasted spicy and three other guests at our table said it tasted salty. Only soup. Disappointed to see and not taste any pieces of lobster in the bisque. I really enjoyed leafy mixed greens, thinly sliced smoked salmon and one of their imported cheese. Potatoes Au Gratin was served heat hot and very yummy. Brazilian cheese bread was tasty; however, the side wasn't served hot even though it arrived in a basket with cloth napkin. Only salads, sides, soups, and meats/proteins are included in the all you can eat buffet. Desserts are an extra charge. I wasn't fully satisfied with the meats and proteins offered this time and hope to enjoy more in the future. read more

Reservations were made easy via Open Table. The restaurant is gigantic with many tables and sections, including private and semi-private rooms. The walls are deep red with chic tables to complete the ambiance. We were provided with excellent customer service. Our main server was Kuulei. We had many servers, which included the gauchos (servers that came around to carve churrascaria style meat). There are little coaster-like cards, one with a green side, and one with a red. The green side will let the servers know you would like meat, and the red side tells them that you need a break, or need to tap out. However, when I set mine to red, the servers came around anyway to ask if I wanted to try a meat. Many meats are made picanha style and there are over 12 different meats available served medium rare. If you prefer a different temperature, all you have to do is ask. My favorite was the braised beef ribs that were fall-off-the-bone moist, and rich and flavorful. Other favorites were the leg of lamb and filet minion. The only disappointment for me was the chicken. I tried two kinds: the bacon wrapped chicken and the parmesan drumettes. Both were dry. I expected as much, since chicken dries out pretty quickly, but was hopeful, especially when I thought the bacon would be its saving grace, but the chicken was really dry. Next time, I'll pass on the bird. Each meal comes with 4 refillable sides for the table. They include mashed potatoes, fries, sweet plantains, and Pao de Queijo (Brazilian cheese bread). They also have a buffet area where you can help yourself to soup, salad, and charcuterie type items like salami and cheese. The night we went, they were serving Lobster Bisque which was good, but my bowl was taken away prematurely and I opted not to get a second bowl because I was quickly filling up on the meat. I tried their signature cocktail, Caipirinha. It consists of cachaça, lime, and sugar. If you like mojitos, this drink is for you. Tastes very similar, but lest minty. I think all you can eat meal is well worth the $70/person if you love meat. Desserts are priced pretty straight-forward at $12.95/dish, but the flavors were anything but. We tried the Brazilian flan, pecan pie, key lime pie, creme brulee, chocolate mousse cake, and bananas fosters pie. Most of them were very rich. I enjoyed the key lime pie the most. Not too sweet, and not too tart, and very near perfection. Obrigado, Texas de Brazil Honolulu! We'll be back soon. read more

My experience at Texas de Brazil in Oahu was disappointing overall. I paid $70 for the all-you-can-eat meat service and wasn't able to eat any of the meats -- the only thing I managed to eat was one piece of sausage. We asked several times for the doneness of the meat that we prefer, but the cuts we requested never came to our table. The service was very slow and the meats rarely passed by. To make things worse, the few meats that did reach our table were extremely raw. Because of that, my friends also couldn't eat. Some of the food at the buffet was also cold. I want to be fair and say that our waitress was kind, but unfortunately the rest of the team and the overall experience left a lot to be desired. I'm not someone who usually leaves negative reviews because I tend to overlook many things, but unfortunately this experience was not good. -- Minha experiência no Texas de Brazil em Oahu foi decepcionante no geral. Paguei $70 pelo rodízio de carnes e não consegui comer nenhuma das carnes a única coisa que consegui comer foi um pedaço de linguiça. Pedimos várias vezes o ponto da carne que gostamos, mas eles simplesmente não chegaram até nossa mesa. O serviço foi muito lento e as carnes quase não passavam. Para piorar, as poucas carnes que chegaram estavam extremamente cruas. Por causa disso, meus amigos também não conseguiram comer. Algumas comidas do buffet também estavam frias. Quero ser justo e dizer que a nossa garçonete foi gentil, mas infelizmente o restante da equipe e a experiência no geral deixaram muito a desejar. Eu não sou uma pessoa que costuma deixar avaliações negativas porque normalmente relevo muitas coisas, mas infelizmente essa experiência não foi. read more

If you're a carnivore this is the place for you. I dined with Nadine a while back and the selection was huge. We came for dinner and it was all you can eat for $69.99. They had a variety of food for the salad bar: greens, beans, cheeses, meats, soups, etc. I love lobster bisque and it's one of my fave soups. However, the soup here was a miss. It was lacking the natural sweetness of lobster and I couldn't taste the sherry. The Brazilian cheesy bread that they brought to the table was great. It was warm, cheesy and chewy. The fried banana was also very good. We got another order of those. You have two signs at the table, red for stop and green to keep it coming. They bring the meat on skewers and carve it at the table for you. We had sausage, chicken, steak, filet mignon and lamb to name a few of the items. It was coming so fast that I couldn't keep up with the names. I do remember the ribs being my favorite. I was so stuffed at that point that I could only manage to consume one rib. All I have to say is to pace yourself because it's a lot of food. If you have something that it's your favorite make sure you have room for it. read more

Went out to dinner with the family this past Sunday. We were greeted warmly by the hosts and promptly seated. Our server Gaby was wonderful, offering many suggestions and recommendations for drinks and meat choices. She even noticed while walking by, that my soup(which wasn't as good as I had hoped) looked a little thin and would check in with the kitchen to see if they can bring it up to their normal standard. I didn't complain about it or voice displeasure. This was her recognizing the issue and ensuring quality for the customers. The rest of the experience was wonderful. Service was fast! So many meat choices as well. Definitely worth the cost as taking my family out, as I have definitely paid more and received far less in terms of food quality, service and overall experience. read more

Texas de Brazil is great for meat lovers, vegetarians, or anybody who loves to eat because it's all you can eat! Great salad bar with so many different veggies and even charcuterie. You got your starch bar with rice, beans, mushrooms, potatoes, and lobster bisque. Beautiful fancy interior with bar seating, regular dining, and section for big parties as well. Everyone was so friendly from the host, to our server, to the meat walkers lol. It's so cool. You have a medallion on your table for stop and go, stop is no meat, go is for the meat walkers to come and bring you the good stuff. That was so fun for them to come around and cut the meat off the meat holder right on to your plate and try the different types of meat!!! They have happy hour. We didn't even know they had happy hour, but it was so nice. We eat dinner early, so we went 4PM. Normal price per adult is $70. Happy hour is $50 per so that was awesome. I'm guessing happy hour is 4-5 or 6 on certain days? Not sure, but for the vegetarians, salad bar only is $40 per head! Everything was great, great place, great location - located in Ala Moana shopping center, between macys and maitais (same floor as maitais), if I not mistaken, was old Lens crafters, and also had one arcade place?, great food, great customer service! Definitely be back again. read more

Came for another celebration dinner. I'll go elsewhere for our next celebration... They are not military or Kama'aina friendly. They don't honor any of the corporate promotions or offers. Sadly they no longer comp any dessert for your celebration. I'd rather celebrate elsewhere on island. For 5 covers, they couldn't/wouldn't comp any dessert . Food was fine but just not feeling it here for the price. All previous times we have celebrated here, a dessert was comped. Last time was just in April. They also have started dimming the lights in the restaurant. The lighting was dimmed significantly two times to where it was so dark by the time we were done that I signed the customer receipt and took the restaurant!'s copy home. Not sure what' was up with that. They never dimmed the lights the other times that we've dined there.... read more

My husband loves meat so we decided to go here for his birthday. I've been to fogo on the mainland and my husband have been to both on the mainland so we kind of compared our experiences there to here. I made a reservation for 5pm on a Monday. When we got there, I was surprised that there was people already eating inside. Service was really exceptional. My son has a severe peanut and tree nut allergy but our server informed us that my son could have all the meat and the sides they had brought to the table. He loved the French fries. Also there was a lot of people always offering us meat. The sides weren't as good as fogo on the mainland. The restaurant is actually pretty big so that's nice. Probably will be back, but only for a special occasion. read more

Never been to a Brazilian steakhouse before, it was a nice experience but I would not come back. For the price you pay service could at least be friendlier and more attentive, however we had to raise our hands to get the attention of the meat servers. I LOVED the cold section though. Never seen so many cheeses in one place! The potato cream hot appetizer they had was so good, I would buy that togo if can. Dessert is OK. The inside is and may feel a little cramped if all the tables are taken, but nothing considerable that would bother that much. Nothing too special about this place in my opinion, this is a one and done experience for me. read more

Located on the 4th floor of Ala Moana SC, Macy's side, where Lens Crafters used to be, this buffet style restaurant is a place worth dining at for special occasions (only because it is a bit expensive, or if you are rich, every day or week). To be exact, it's a 4.5 because no Kamaaina Discount and they do not accept any GCs that was sold at a discount at Sams club, as well as my napkin had food stains on it or wasn't washed well, but they quickly replaced it after I showed them. They had an opening for 1pm for Easter lunch, so my family of 9 reserved a spot. This was during a yelp elite scheduled event, but unfortunately, I was not selected, so I am posting my review on here since I ate here as a regular patron. Salad buffet - 4.0 - by itself for $39.99. They had an easter special so it also included hot foods like scrambled eggs, portuguese sausage, lobster bisque soup, black beans and pastries. This could fill me up alone, but I was craving for their meats. Although a little pricy, a really good spread of fresh, upper scaled quality veggies, cheeses and cold meats. Only thing missing was an assortment of fresh fruits. They only offered pineapple for fruit. AYCE meat - 5.0 - for $69.99, it includes the salad bar, and they bring out a skewer of freshly bbq'd meat at a time, and after making their rounds, they re-roast and reseason the cut portions so the outside is again hot and flavorful. The brazilian meats are amazing, a variety of steak, lamb and pork, I could eat a whole bunch, always hot, freshly roasted and not oily or fried. I liked the inside medium rare cuts more because the outside was a litttle too salty, and the insides were seasoned only on the edges. I tried a spicy meat, which they said wasn't as spicy, but it was too spicy for me, and felt the burn in my mouth for a while. Drinks and desserts are not included in the buffet, so we bought ala carte at about $13 a piece. They offer free dessert of our choice for our birthday. All the desserts were delicious! Sevice - 4.5 stars - excellent service by our waiter and meat servers. He explained thoroughly about the different meats and desserts and answered which ones he thought was the best and which were popular. However the lamb, which I love, took very long to cook and finally offered, after an hour or so. Cold water were always being filled, and the meat servers were very friendly and happy to serve us, but sometimes skipped us. Lots of parking since it is at Ala Moana, so it can get crowded, but can always find one even if far away. Definitely will go here again for special occasions. Quality fresh meats and flavorful brazilian seasoning that goes with it. Wish they would at least accept GCs or have a Kamaaina or senior discount so I could go more often. read more

Personally, I feel like everything about here is just alright. With the price point being so high, I expected a better overall experience. Was first guided to my table and left without any explanation of how things worked despite expressing that it was our first time at the restaurant. We sat for a solid 5+ minutes just confused before my partner told that we should maybe go to the salad bar, I followed him very unsure as we, again, weren't told anything. We weren't helped till we have already begun eating for a bit, maybe totaling ~15mins before we were even given water. The food is alright. The meats were pretty good, cooked pretty well. I really enjoyed was the fact that the meats were obviously hot and fresh. Additionally, if you really like the crusts of your steaks, you would love this as this is all you will be getting, meaning every bite is quite flavorful. Other than that, I personally don't feel that this place entices me enough to come back. If I wanted really good steak, with the price point, I would just go to a steak house. Feels pretty gimmicky, would try once but not a repeat. Also everything other than the meats and the salad bar are extra charge, as a desert lover, I was slightly gutted (wouldn't mind paying the extra but it just didn't make sense in my mind). read more

In Ala Moana by Macy's, Texas de Brazil occupies a pretty big spot on the upper level. The restaurant is spacious, clean, and on the fancier side. There is a salad bar to the side and a window to the back where the meat is prepared. The salad bar has a variety of vegetables, cheese, bread, smoked salmon, and other food. There are also soups, rice, and other hot foods to the side. There are drink options such as a selection of lemonades -- the mango and coconut lemonades were good! They brought the meats to our table one at a time. Some of our favorites were the garlic picanha and flank steak. The lamb was also good. All of the meat was pretty juicy and flavorful. However, there was not much meat given since it was given a piece at a time with the servers rotating between tables. The people working were very friendly and attentive. It just did not seem to be worth the price of being there since it would take requesting the meat piece by piece to continue getting more. However, the desserts were good -- the carrot cake was moist and we could taste the actual carrots. The food they brought to the table such as the cheese bread, french fries, and later the ube ice cream were also delicious. It is hard to justify the price though with the amount of meat being served. read more

Texas de Brazil - Steakhouses Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Located on the top floor of the mall so we parked on the 3rd by Lucky Strike and went up the escalator by Macy's. The restaurant was bright and had a high ceiling, but gave me a sort of empty feeling. I'd have liked the darker lighting with romantic atmosphere but just my preference. We went there early in the evening and the place was empty, so we had all the attentions of workers and the service was decent. We were more focused on the meat than salad bar, and the best meat was Picanha. It was so soft and tasty. Other meats were okay. Some were overcooked or dry. It was definitely a fun experience, but I really wished that they had more meats that were as good as Picanha. Also, I thought cocktails were sweeter than the average. read more

Food is great! Love their half off days :) Service could be better but as long as im happy with food idc about anything else. read more

It is extremely expensive for what you get. Yes, it's all you can eat, but they're charging as much as other places that serve wagyu. We went a couple of times when they had the good happy hour special but it's changed now to only $10 off instead of the half off last time, and still no additional discounts for kids, so we haven't gone back since. It's ok, works to appease the palate when we're missing Fogo de Chao but again, not for that price. read more

Dinner in Honolulu, Hawaii... My friend, Angel, asked me where I wanted to eat. My answer: Texas de Brazil at Ala Moana Center. I had dined at the Las Vegas location and had fun! I guess the challenge is the $69.99 (plus tax and tip) pricetag, even though it's All You Can Eat. The other option is Salad Bar only - no meats - for $39.99 (plus tax and tip). The salad bar is extensive! It included items such as lobster bisque, cold cuts, Cole slaw, and Sautéed mushrooms. Some sides were brought to our table: sugared, fried plaintains, mashed potatoes, crunchy French fries, and yummy cheesy bread. The meats kept coming... filet mignon, bacon-wrapped chicken, steak, lamb, sausage, etc. I couldn't keep track of everything. Service was very welcoming and polite! Our server was actually the bartender! All of the traveling meat servers were friendly! We went early on a Monday (4:15pm reservation) and had no problem with the free parking nor waiting for a table. The venue is spacious, clean, and beautiful! read more

Life hack: Go for lunchtime, it's less busy. I've read multiple reviews saying that the various meats didn't go to their table. We were lucky to receive the best attentive service when we went for lunch on a Saturday. Our waitress even took the time to ask us which ones we liked the most and sent those meats to our table multiple times. The lamb was probably my favorite out of all the choices. read more

I am so happy we have a Brazilian Bbq place now!!! We usually have to travel and visit to get our Brazilian BBQ fix. I LOVE Texas de Brazil!! Their chimichurri is AMAZING! Location: Texas De Brazil is by Macy's wing or Ala Moana. It's on the same level of Maitai's. Parking: I would think parking by Macy's would be good. Price: $$$ It is pricey, but it's ALL YOU CAN EAT. So it's totally worth it. Food: The salad bar has soups, deli cuts, soups, and starches. The most important thing to get is the chimichurri sauce nom nom nom!! You'll need it for the meats. They also have some complimentary sides of cheese bread, sweet plantains, mashed potatoes, and fries. My kids went crazy for the Brazilian cheese bread. It has a mochi like consistency, but it is cheese, lol My mother in law came with us. She doesn't eat steak, but she was able to have soups, salads, chicken, and pork. There was also shrimp at the salad bar. My favorite item was the grilled pineapple. It was delicious! My toddler enjoyed the cheese and prosciutto cuts. On the table, you'll see a double-sided paper coin. This tells the staff know if you want meats or not. The meats come out on sabers, and they will cut a piece for you to grab and place on your plate. Red means stop. Green means go! If it's your first time at a place like this, pace yourself, lol! The good stuff comes with time! My favorite cuts are always the picanha or filet mignon. Here's another tip, dip everything in the chimichurri. You are welcome. Just so you know, they have different cuts of beef, chicken, and pork. Other locations had lamb chips, but this place just opened, I don't know if they have all the meats available on the island. Overall, if you can make it to dessert, you are a bad ass! Lol! Most people tap out after a few rounds. It's a cool experience because they bring the meets to you. I am just glad I don't have to wait until a trip to have my fix now! It's definitely a great place for a date! read more
