My company and I came here for a reserved luncheon. We were also very tired from our sessions so we were excited to come. The food was decent. What stuck out with the lamb chops and the lamb shank . it was very tender. Our waitress and waiters were on point about who ordered what drink and what desserts. But for the employees that were going around with the meat was a kind of difficult. It was hard to get the lambs, but maybe they were just out of it so quickly because it was really good. Honestly, next time I would just get the lamb and the salad bar. Make sure to get small cuts of meat because there's been times when I asked for medium, but they will give me rare instead. So if they give you a cut you don't like, you can avoid food waste. I wish they gave us a list of what drinks that we could have. They had lemonade mixed with other fruits, but not Brazilian lemonade that was made with the rind. I don't think my coworkers knew there were an options besides basic soda and sparkling water. Mind you the lemonade mixture was pretty good. It's just sad they do not have the Brazilian lemonade with the rind. Maybe the tables were chaotic but the people next to me and myself weren't able to get our water cups refilled. The tables and chairs were even, stable, and steady . We had a lot of people so we had to have them all connected. There's free parking in the garage attached to the movie theater above the third floor . This is my go-to parking garage when I'm in this area. Compared to other Brazilian steakhouses, this place has some points to work on. There is potential. read more

Texas de Brazil - Steakhouses Near Me - Houston, Texas

We've been coming here for at least 5 years for Thanksgiving brunch. For whatever reason, today was exceptionally good! - The meat came out hot - The picanha, fillet, lamb chops, and sirloin all tastes so good and was deliciously seasoned - The salad bar continues to be awesome I commend you for whatever change you've made - keep up the great work! read more

I didn't pay when we came here, but I've heard it's expensive, and we were all in agreement that it was lacking. Usually, you're not even able to breathe because of how much meat they keep bringing out to you, but it was so sparse when we went. It took forever for people to come to our table with meat, and they wouldn't come back super often. The ambiance is good because it's a huge place, so it's super open, and it was nice that we had this corner table by the windows so the kids could kind of run around. The meat also was just ok - we would ask for medium and I swear some of the cuts were like bordering on rare. However, the sides is what really picked up the rating for this place because the salad bar AND the sides they put on the table like the mashed potatoes and the cheesy bread and the banana coated in sugar were amazing. The meat was decent too, it just was underwhelming given what I was expecting. read more

My boyfriend and I visited Texas de Brazil to celebrate our anniversary. Parking was standard garage parking, and the ambiance inside was nice. He made a reservation through OpenTable and noted that it was our anniversary. When we arrived, the hostess acknowledged the occasion, which was a nice touch. Unfortunately that's where the good service ended. It took 15 minutes for our server to show up, and when he did, he apologized and took our drink orders. In my opinion, that's way too long. Especially since we were starving, just sitting there staring at the salad bar. The salad bar itself was nothing amazing, but it did the job. We had the Caesar salad and scalloped potatoes, both of which were great. When my drink finally came out, it was a huge disappointment. It was tiny (photo attached) and cost $14, which would be fine if it were strong, but it tasted like juice. I could barely detect any alcohol at all and I felt nothing afterwards. Then the meats started coming and it only got worse. The first cut was a sirloin, which was absolutely inedible. I asked for medium, but what I got was half fat, half tough tendon meat. I literally couldn't cut through it (photo attached). I kept getting different variations of sirloin through the night and every single one was tough and/or fatty, and impossible to eat. Then came the filet mignon which was GREY. It was chewable at least, so I ate it because I was starving. The Parmesan pork was next, and it was so dry it was sandy. The crust made it even worse. Surprisingly, the chicken and sausage that came together were actually juicy, flavorful, and easily the best meats of the night. The flank steak was okay but very tough, but at least edible. The beef rib had good flavor and was tender and moist but it was soooo salty it almost wasn't worth it. We had been to Texas de Brazil before for a birthday and I remembered they used to bring sides out automatically. 20 minutes into eating, I realized we still didn't have them. We flagged down our server and he admitted he forgot. He asked if we wanted any specific meats while we waited, and we requested beef rib. It took another 20 minutes to get the sides, and another 10 minutes after that for the beef rib to show up.. The cinnamon bananas were great. They were perfectly cooked, sweet, and syrupy. But the mashed potatoes were absolutely disgusting. They tasted like boxed potatoes made with faucet water. Both the taste and texture were appalling!! The worst I've had in my whole life. To top it all off, our server barely refilled our water the entire night. We got one refill right before we got the check. The service was really really slow and lazy. He was nice enough but when the restaurant is damn near empty you would think he could at least fill our waters on time. Between the long waits, the tough meats, the horrible mashed potatoes, and the weak drinks, this was absolutely not worth the high price tag. I will never, ever come back here nor suggest that you come here under any circumstances. read more

Salad bar is amazing! The selection of meats is good, sometimes can be a bit too salty, but overall, tasty! Don't skip out on the ribs! I love how they give you side options by the salad bar (soups, rice, black beans). All delicious! read more

The most disappointing part is where they sat us, the gauchos never visited our table. The ones that did brought only the "low end" cuts. Pork, chicken wings, sausage, lamb shank Only once after asking did we get pichania. Never came back. But the Parmesan pork was offered. No sirloin. No beef at all other than the one time we asked for pichania. Came here to celebrate with kids, kids were like wtf is this? Used to come to this place a lot. You can tell it's gone downhill. read more

First time visiting and it was a beautiful place but everything was mid to me. The meat was alright not very much options like the other places the salad bar was okay I definitely compared this place to gauchos and i prefer there. The customer service was really good and the drinks and the place is so cute and had no issues making reservations! read more

Texas de Brazil in Houston is totally worth the splurge! We recently celebrated my husband's birthday here, and it was amazing. The all-you-can-eat meats are incredible--filet mignon, lamb chops, ribs, sausage--you name it, they bring it right to your table. The salad bar and sides are fresh and tasty, and the dessert is absolutely delicious--perfect way to end the meal! The restaurant is elegantly decorated, perfect for dressing up, yet very kid-friendly--our whole family always feels welcome. The staff is friendly and attentive, making the experience smooth and enjoyable. Yes, it's pricey, but for the food, service, and atmosphere, it's worth every penny. We've brought the family multiple times, and it never disappoints! read more

We had Valentines dinner reservations. We arrived about 15 minutes early. There was a long wait time not only that but we amongst everyone else were all bundled up like sardines waiting at the entrance of the restaurant. This was very uncomfortable waiting for 30 minutes to get seated. This gave the restaurant everything but classy look and feel to it. I went with high expectations that were instantly lowered. It was not the experience I was anticipating for. read more

Dare I say this is the best Brazillian steakhouse in Houston. I can't believe I have never tried this restaurant because I saw the ratings weren't good. Came here since we didn't want to drjve to the Galleria for Chama Gaucha and we are not a big fan of Fogo de Chao. Omg everything was so good from the salad bar to the meat. I would say the Brazillian cheese bread could be a little bit better but everything else is chef kiss. My favorites were the bacon wrapped filet mignon and the beef picanha. Service was amazing too! Cant wait to come back here the next time! read more

After visiting Houston Museum of natural science we chose Texas de Brazil for dinner. Beautiful establishment with great staff. It is a Brazilian eatery featuring all-you-can-eat grilled meat carved tableside & a salad bar. You definitely leave full! I love that you are able to try different meats. Their salad bar was my fav. Fresh, crisp, and a great variety of items. They also bring bread, mashed potatoes, and fried bananas to he table. The bananas were delicious. We also ordered a pitcher of their Brazilian lemonade. Our server Vinicius was awesome! read more

Visiting Texas de Brazil is always a delicious experience! The customer service is attentive and the flavorful food never disappoints. You really can't go wrong with any choice here - we always leave completely satisfied for the day. Some must-try meats are the lamb chops and shredded beef, but honestly, everything is worth a try. And don't skip the salad bar - it's just as addictive! read more

Food is 100% worth the price. The "salad" bar and included table side alone are worth it. Excellent service from the front of house, bar and table service are excellent with the manager checking in. Ambiance is elegant and not noise or stuffy. read more

My last experience here wasn't the best and I hate to say that about places, especially when I raved about them before. We reserved for a large group of people, which they knew about in advance. They were not so busy as to be unable to attend. Service was spotty for the remainder of the night. Needing a refill? We'll get to you when we can. Get a drink order for just water...maybe after 3 other people in the table point it out they'll get you a drink. People in our table would be randomly ignored for no reason or half the table at any given chance would be ignored as the servers would ask one person if they wanted the food they were serving and if they said no, they ran away faster than the Flash. If you said yes, they maybe sometimes asked the person next to you and took off. I was frustrated and just wanted food, but the service was so slow, that it felt like you wasted a lot of money for no reason and were still hungry. I went to buy a dessert, cause how can that go wrong? They took so long getting it all out, that we were the last people to leave the restaurant cause of their service. Everything took long, the food the check, everything. Look, it's 2024, inflation is killing us. If I'm going to spend money I want to feel like I am not wasting it. I felt I wasted it here. Even the dessert was meh. It's definitely not a place to take a group, even with a reservation in advance. I recommend you find other similar restaurants in the area before coming here if you are insistent on bringing a group. read more

I enjoyed my time here. The servers were very friendly. A couple of times I asked for medium and they gave me a piece of meat that was medium rare. The lobster bisque was tasty. Love that they had shrimp but they are kinda small. The caipirinha drink was too sweet for me. It is loud in there but you can still hear your party. I would come again but I've also been to better Brazilian steak houses. read more

I visited for my graduation dinner with friends and it was amazing! I had an amazing time! The servers were super friendly, the restaurant was able to seat us (a group of 8) as soon we got there, and food was delicious! I loved the salad and cheese bar, super fresh, and delicious ingredients. They also had rice, beans, lobster bisque, and au gratin potatoes! The steak melts in your mouth, the flank steak was my favorite. I'll definitely be coming back for more special occasions! read more

This was quite literally the worst Brazilian steakhouse I've ever been to. We had a reservation for 7:45 PM on Valentine's Day. We got there and checked in right at 7:45 pm. We still had to wait 30 minutes. It was a Saturday night and Valentine's Day so it was busy and I get it. However, once we were sat, after nearly 2 hours, I only had about 6 pieces of meat. We didn't get offered half of the meat. Most of the meat we did get offered weren't even beef, mainly chicken, sausage, etc. Our cards were flipped to the green side the WHOLE time we were there, but servers were either skipping or just not even coming. Despite making eye contact. then, when we were offered certain meats, they would cut a slice for my s/o, but when it was my turn, the server would say "oh i have to get your cut from the back, I'll be right back" then never come back. This happened twice. By the 3rd time, i was clearly upset and that may have been the only reason the server actually came back that time. Our server also kept asking if we were just waiting on meat, in which we'd say yes just to still continue waiting. After THREE hours and still about 6 meats total, we requested the dessert menu - another 15 minutes just to get the menu to us. At this point, we ordered it and i asked to speak to the manager. I have never requested to speak to a manager at a restaurant before, that is how horrible this experience was. Again, had to wait for the manager to make his way to us. Once i explained to him my experience, his response in general was a very like "welp that sucks" attitude & didn't even seem really concerned. He offered to charge us as a "lite dinner" + drinks + dessert. Which I still dont even think is a fair resolution, because my dinner was their mashed potatoes, cheese bread, and 6 slices of meat. Even getting the check took time. God bless the host/hostess as they seem to be fighting for their life trying to get everyone seated. In the future, if there isn't availability, then they shouldnt be offering reservations they cannot honor. Will not be back and i definitely do not recommend the place. read more

This place has gone down hill. From answering the phone to the food itself. This restaurant use to be spectacular. Great location with great ambiance. But, that's about where it ends. Some of the meats were so chewy that I had to discreetly spit out. Chimichurri was all oil. Only adding a star because the waiter was nice. I'm guessing most people are feeling the same as the restaurant was only 30% full on a Friday. I wish them the best. read more

We came here for Christmas dinner and loved it! We were able to book a same day reservation for an early 4:30pm dinner, and were seated within minutes of arriving at the restaurant. As for the food, it was delicious! Their salad bar was very fresh with lettuce, cucumber, onions, shrimp, smoked salmon & lobster bisque, amongst other options. It was so good I had two plates of it. Their meat was delicious as well. Definitely liked the sirloin as my favorite there. My fiancé also very much enjoyed her meal too. Last, we got dessert too and it was money! The portion size of the cheesecake was pretty good, and my fiancé and brother in law's girlfriend also enjoyed the banana fosters pie. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. We would come back for sure! read more

The tables are so crowded and it was a noise war room in there. Service was attentive. I asked to be seated away from the party room and even though there were open tables that nobody ever showed up for , my family was seated next to them. The food is okay mediocre, the sides can definitely improve for better quality and presentation. I won't return but at least I know I'm not missing out. read more

As an avid griller with experience living in South America and Texas for decades, I know good meat, so I had high expectations when I took my family of four to Texas de Brazil. While the service, ambiance, and salad bar were impressive--perhaps even better than Chama Gaucha--the quality of the meat left much to be desired, especially given the price point. The picanha, a staple of Brazilian steakhouses, was disappointingly dry. The sirloin was passable but far from memorable, and the filet mignon wrapped in bacon was underwhelming. The BBQ pork ribs, unfortunately, were unacceptable, lacking flavor and showcasing a noticeable compromise in quality. Overall, it felt as though lower-grade meats were served hot to mask their shortcomings. For a churrascaria, the meat is the centerpiece, and on this front, Texas de Brazil fell short. While the extras were excellent, they couldn't make up for the lackluster star of the show. I give Texas de Brazil three stars--solid in atmosphere and service, but the meat needs to live up to its billing. read more

We went late afternoon when it wasn't busy. The staff were awesome and attentive. The food was plentiful and tastes great.

Man, this place has gone downhill considerably since I've last been here. I don't know what it is, but service and attentiveness from staff is completely just... off. I came here with a group of friends because we've had positive experiences in the past. This time, not so much. Our primary waiter was either completely inattentive, forgetful, or covering way too many tables. He'd disappear for long periods at a time, not bring out requested beverages, etc. The gauchos were similar. They completely ignored the little red and green cards which are such a staple of these restaurants. When they brought out a cut of meat, they'd offer it to 2-3 people at the table and promptly run off while ignoring the other 4-5 people seated, even if those people were waiting for those cuts of meat. I thought they just couldn't hear me, but it eventually became obvious that none of the gauchos spoke English, because they didn't seem capable of saying anything more than what cut of meat they were serving. When we asked for the cuts of meat we wanted, we were completely ignored. When the checks came, we found out that we were overcharged. The waiter took the checks back and took another 20 minutes or so to get it squared away. Again, not sure if it was intentional or not. The general sentiment among the group is that we will not be coming back here again. read more

Could have been better. Mary's of my.order was missing. The taste was t anything to get excited about. The cucumber salad was amazing g. The beat part of the meal read more

Overall, I had a decent experience here. I made a reservation and was quickly seated. The waiter was very kind and helpful. Most of the meats were seasoned well and cooked well, but some were definitely overcooked For medium rare. Also, only about 1/2 of the meats came to our table, although if you have a good waiter, you can request the waiter to have the servers bring by the meats you want. The salad bar was a bit smaller than I expected. I wish there were more hot dish options. I also find it very strange that there is not a meat menu to show you what types of meats are going around. I had to go online to their website to see the options. Meat was going around enough since I don't eat a lot but I can see how people who eat quicker May complain that the meat did not come around enough. I will say that I am surprised that with how expensive the price is, that dessert is not included. read more

For my birthday this year, my friends and I found ourselves at Texas de Brazil. It was an easy choice as they were very easy to make reservations for such a large party. The restaurant is located in the ever so popular City Centre. Parking is a hassle but doable. The restaurant itself is very beautiful and chic. We noticed a very young and stylish crowd there as well. They waited to seat us until most of my party arrived. Upon seating, our waiter introduced himself to us. Poor guy was nice, but very timid and soft spoken. Most of my party did not hear the instructions before he just left our table. Customer service is definitely not their strong point here. As the gauchos brought meat around, they would serve half the table and then vanish. It was quite bizarre. The deal breaker for me was how little care they took when cutting meat tableside. I was looking quite dapper, but by the end of the night, I looked down at my light colored pants and realized that the gauchos dripped meat juices all over them. This ruined my mood as we still wanted to go out afterwards. I tried to spot clean it but it just made it worse. Hopefully management sees this and passes it along for them to be careful as everyone in the place was dressed nice and I am sure they did not want stains on their clothes either. That being said, I thought the food was quite good. They have alot to offer on their menu, but only brought certain cuts around. My friend had to specifically ask for many items which they would bring out once requested. I have been to many of the Brazilian steakhouses in town and we have never had to ask for so many items. Their beef dishes were very well seasoned and delicious. Whatever I did try, I liked alot. I wish they had more sauces to offer for the meats. The sides and hot dishes were solid. The salad bar was smaller than most, but it got the job done. They brought out a birthday cake to end the meal, but did charge for that which was also odd as most high end places comp that. Overall, I had a good time because of the company I was with. We left full but all agreed the service was just not there. I don't see myself coming back if the service continues to be this way. read more

Great service. Food was good. Brazilian bread were good. There is a salad buffet that had a variety of non-meat options including lobster bisque, grilled pineapples, salad, grilled bell peppers, and beans. Love the Brazilian lemonade. Meat was good, some cuts were too salty and the grilled bananas should have glazed sugar --they're like rolled in sugar crystals instead. Their grilled/ roasted pineapples are thin cut but not enough glaze on them. The pineapples are at the buffet so they're pretty cold. Overall I did enjoy my dinner. read more

Service was bad, food was ok, not much to desire, this guys would stop and ask one person if they wanted something, before the next person could say I do , they would run off, the meat was cold as they served it, it may have been where they sat us down. I have had Fogo de Chão many times. For years, and they have never let us down, then Chama Gaucha became our new spot, every time we have been in there it gets better, never disappoints. But this Texas de Brazil has a lot to learn, the meat was not really all there, the salad bar was clean, but nothing to desire as well. Fancy place! Nice place! To busy of a location, no where to park, and the parking had no elevator, and yes we know there is more parking, but there was no sign for this one, we walked from the fourth floor, and we lost a person that was coming, but could not find anything close, and being older she couldn't walk to far. I believe the waiters here pick, and choose who they serve properly, my wife's boss always leaves a good tip, 7 of us was a hefty spend, but definitely will not be coming to this location of this chain again. read more

Horrible! I've gone to all Brazilian steak houses in Houston, this one is by far the worst. Me and my family went during the week on a slower day and we felt so neglected. The service was horrible, we asked 5 times to get plates, we waited 30 minutes for a refill, and got our plantains 1hr after sitting. To top it off they don't do any complimentary dessert for special occasions. Food tasted okay, nothing too crazy. Highly recommend Chama Gaucha in Galleria area, way cheaper in price, better flavor, hands down best service, and great salad bar and selection of meats. read more

I decided to come here for dinner on a whim and was disappointed by my experience. Upon arriving, the host asked us if we had a reservation, which I did not. They asked for my name and number and entered it into the system which gave me a text that I was put on the waitlist but there was not a wait. The restaurant was barely 20% full and they sat us right away. So I just don't understand why they did that and the host's attitude was very unwelcoming. After we got to our table, we went to the salad bar which had a nice selection. I wish they had some bread or crostinis for the selection of cheeses and smoked salmon. I enjoyed the lobster bisque but wish it was hotter. I tried at least 70% of the meat options. My favorite was the ribeye which had a nice peppery crust. I requested medium rare and was given the rarest piece possible, which was unsettling but thankfully the gaucho cut me a more suitable slice. At one point, they came up to us with flank steak I believe which we both said yes to. I received a normal portion while my date got 3x the amount without requesting more which was a waste since he didn't want that much and it was very chewy and not tasty. Another issue is that the gauchos would still come up to us even when we had our cards on red. It felt like we were offered the same 2-3 meats repeatedly and not getting the full selection. Overall the food was okay but not outstanding. Half of the "hot" food was lukewarm at best. We also were sat next to a family with a screaming toddler throughout the whole dinner which kills the vibe. To me, this is not the type of restaurant to bring young children to. I will not be coming back. I rather spend my money on food I know I will enjoy. If you want to dine at this type of place, I'd recommend Fogo de Chao although I haven't been there in a while so I cannot attest to the dining experience. read more

Really good, went for a holiday work dinner. They accommodated everyone very well. The meat was actually very seasoned and I was surprised, usually steakhouses skimp on the seasoning. Will go again..... drinks were good as well, bartender was overwhelmed so he forgot about a couple of us while we were waiting to be seated. Ambiance was cool, went with coworkers, very dark inside. read more

My family usually comes here over all the other Brazilian steak houses but the service has gone down. The meats are delicious, don't get me wrong. I made reservations for my dad's birthday as a party of 8, but there was no birthday card or note indicating that it's his birthday which makes you feel like, why celebrate here if they don't care that you choose to celebrate here? We asked for a complimentary dessert for his birthday, but they said they would have to charge us for it. Our server mentioned they changed their policy and no longer comp birthday desserts. I find this ridiculous and told him that for a $600 tab, including a 20% tip, not comping a dessert is absurd. Nevertheless, service is declining at this place, and if you want to celebrate your birthday, they won't make it special like other places. read more

I've officially been to every Brazilian steakhouse here in Houston, unfortunately, this one is my least favorite. The salad bar is great, and there's plenty of options along with several options for different types of soup, and veggies. But as for the meat, it is extremely limited to just three different types of steak and two chicken. The Brazilian bread that everyone looks forward to eating, was rockhard when I asked the waitress to to get us fresh bread she brought back a new bunch and let us know that this was as warm as she could find, which, unfortunately, that was also cold, and hard as well. Our waitress was, nice, and checked on his continuously. The service that we received was good. It was also something that I was worried about as I saw other reviews didn't enjoy the service. That's not one of my complaints. Our service was great. The reason for the three stars is strictly because of the limited amount of meat, our cold, mashed potatoes, And our cold hard Brazilian bread. I don't think that this will be one of the Brazilian steakhouses that I returned to, I will agree with some of the other reviews that there are better Brazilian steakhouses to choose from. I did read in another review about whether the tip should be in cash or card. Our waitress did also ask us the same question and that is because if you pay the tip in cash, it goes strictly to the waitress or waiter, if you pay in card, they have to split it with the employees in the back, which I did think was odd for the waitress to mention to us. There were several parties going on, however, the actual ambience was pretty good. It is dimly lit. It has the potential to be intimate. I was surprised at how big the restaurant was in all. read more

Texas de Brazil - Salad bar - Steakhouses Near Me - Houston, Texas

The food and ambiance were perfectly reasonable for a churrascaria. The waitress didn't come by our table a lot, it the machete men with meat were plentiful. I guess I'd rather have more steak and less cheese bread, so no harm done there that the latter was never replaced. I think I like the salad bar and meat better than Fogo. But I'm never coming back because the shopping mall had an open gate for a very inconvenient urine-soaked parking garage, absolutely no signs regarding paying for parking, and then had the gall to issue me a parking ticket. Consumer fraud, and never returning to this shopping center or any restaurants at this shopping center if I can avoid it. read more

Worst Brazilian steakhouse to go too. Service was hot ass garbage. Server would only fill up half the table water and then walk away. The meat runner would only ask half the table if we needed anything and catch an attitude by slamming the plate and skewer to try to get our attention even after we said we were good on certain meats. Can't tell if you the meats was good or not barely got anything before got tired of waiting. Asked 4-5 people to bring well done meat for a pregnant woman none came out for a good 35-40 mins. First glass of water good. Suggestions: hired more staff if your current staff can't handle the volume, cut server sections down so they can focus on service instead of trying to flip tables, turn up the brightness so they can visibly see the empty glass on the table read more

This restaurant is good for an experience in dining, but I would never frequent here. It was my first time eating at TdB. I was more impressed with the theme and the elaborate detail in the restaurant than I was with the actual food. The entry doors are very tall, the restroom doors are very tall, ceilings are very tall, the deep red paint gives it a feeling of intensity, the potted flower arrangements are very large, the beams have big bolts exposed to give character, and the wine cellar is floor to ceiling. The waitstaff who bring the meat to your table (not sure of their official title) wear themed attire with almost a medieval look. Everyone is very friendly and the service prompt. A basket of bread knots start your dining and they are pretty good, but I had an overwhelming conscious effort to not eat more than one piece so I could have more of the other items without getting full. You can start your experience with as many trips to the "salad" bar as you please. I've never seen a salad bar like this one. It was more of a Mediterranean charcuterie board bar with items like sliced deli meat, olives, cheese, cold shrimp, cold green beans, romaine lettuce for a salad and a few dressings such as Caesar and Ranch. On the buffet counter, they have lobster bisque and rice. I usually love salad bars. I wasn't over the moon for this one. When you are ready for the meat portion, the waitstaff will give you an empty plate and a card to place on the table indicating meat servers to come by with their proteins. The lamb was not as good as I expected, the sausage was delicious, the fajita was good and the filet minion was good. The waitstaff also bring a side of mashed potatoes and fried bananas to the table. It seems the meal was all over the place with items that don't typically pair together. I was full pretty fast, even though I didn't eat a whole lot. It's a slow process of getting the food to the table verses having an order with everything in front of you all at once, so your slow eating tends to fill you up faster. Again, not a big fan of the experience, but I am glad I know what it is like now. For what you get during the dining time period, I do not feel it is worth the money. read more

Anytime we crave steak Texas De Brazil is one of our go to spots. The location is best reached by a parking spot on the street if you can find one otherwise park in the garage for a short walk. You start your meal off with the salad and soup bar. You will find your traditional salad there along with surprisingly a charcuterie selection with olives. The lobster bisque and potato augratin soup are done very well. When you are ready to carnivorize flip your round card green and you will be blessed with all of the meats coming at you via a gaucho. They will carve for you and all you do is use your tong to grasp your catch. I find the Picahna and Bacon wrapped filets to be my favorites. They will also come around with leg of lamb, sausages, parmesan chicken and pork. We absolutely love this place as our only issue was with the service to begin with as in trying to figure out who our server is supposed to be. Once that was taken care of everything was great after that. They even gave my daughter a nice complimentary cinammon cheesecake for her birthday. Will always return! read more

I really dislike leaving bad reviews, especially when I know the place isn't good. However you do get roped into some family events and to places where you know you're going to get disappointed in. This is one of those places. Parking; you can find free parking in the parking garage above the Lifetime Fitness parking. No need to pay for parking here. Ambiance; not sure why people think this is a super fancy spot with the exception that it's mediocre food and service for its price but to each their own. It feels like a big dining room buffet hall that is dimly lit. Service; pretty bad. Your server is slow to respond to getting you clean dishes, water refills, and meat servers are hit and miss. They ask you what you want to get and then forget the meat.. we asked for napkins and this server gets us "toilet paper" looking napkins. What the heck? Food: everything tastes the same and is really freaking salty. The best thing here was probably the picanhna steak. Every meat was either medium well/well done, or borderline rare. I don't trust rare from this place so I opted for the medium cooked meats. Everything is very salty and you will find yourself drinking a lot of water which they will forget to refill. RIP! The salad bar is pretty sad. The lobster bisque has 0% lobster in there. No chunks or anything. I'm guessing it was lobster flavoring or they blitzed mince meat chunks in there but it just tasted like cream. You do get lettuce, and two kinds of cured meats but I'd say the selection is mediocre. Overall service is below par, food is below par, it is in a good location though. There are way too many solid places to eat in Houston before you come here. Seriously. This is for people who think TGI Fridays is revolutionary, cutting edge cuisine. read more
