So spring has sprung and I'm trying to be outside. My perimenopause been menopausing... and I swear I'm going through my second midlife crisis On top of that, I had an awful week at work. I needed a treat. Something different. So I said you know what... let me try Texas de Brazil. I went on a Monday--figured it wouldn't be packed, no reservation needed. And it's just me... table for one. Now let me be clear--I'm not trying to spend an arm and a leg. I got cocktail dresses, wigs, and heels to fund So I went with the salad area buffet. Unlimited salad and charcuterie? I'm good with that. It's $31.99 and you get three sides included. They gave me fried banana--I thought it was plantains. Nope. A whole yellow banana, fried in sugar till it caramelized. Baby... AMAZING. You also get delicious crispy fries and creamy, silky mashed potatoes with a little skin in there. They were so good. They also give you a basket of Brazilian cheese bread. Salad is salad--your usual suspects. Romaine, spring mix, all the fixings. But I wasn't there for that. I was there for the charcuterie And they did not disappoint. A whole spread--cheeses, cured meats, olives, hearts of palm, roasted peppers, marinated artichokes. Fresh mozzarella, manchego, goat cheese, salami, prosciutto... Also pineapple carpaccio. The thinnest slices of pineapple fried in sugar for a delicious glaze. Was a good palate cleanser to combat the saltiness of the charcuterie. I could have eaten the whole platter. If you want to see the entire spread go to the website. But what got me? Smoked salmon. They had me at smoked salmon. Add some red onions and capers? I'm sitting there feeling like somebody's Bubbe Oh--and yes, they had linen napkins and actual water glasses. Real cute. Shame there were no linen tablecloths though... I love that kind of detail. Please look into it. I washed it all down with caipirinhas--had the traditional lime and the strawberry. Both did what they were supposed to do. They even serve their soda in wine glasses. Fancy AF lol Service? Amazing. From the hostesses to my server, Deliah--she was a doll. Answered all my questions like a pro. I left full and happy. Ngl the meats did look delicious. So one day I'll bite the bullet and get the full experience. I did order dessert. I got the pecan coconut pie. Didn't taste much coconut but it was good. PS: The bathroom? Clean and FABULOUS. Something about a full door stall that goes all the way up to the ceiling... yeah, that does it for me read more

Ran down here because the wife wanted some steak for dinner for her birthday but she didn't just want steak, she wanted lots of it and that's what we got. The place is real nice, clean and roomy and smells amazing. First, the kids hit up the salad bar three times and don't miss the warm bar either, that I did have and it was rice, beans, scalloped potatoes, mushrooms and Lobster Bisque. All of it was delicious, I actually really like the lobster bisque. Then came the meats, OMG. We asked for everything medium rare and if something came that wasn't rare, they simply said they'll be back and they always can back with perfectly cooked meat in minutes. The amount of meat was ridiculous. Filet, filet wrapped in bacon, sirloin, spicy sirloin, flank, sausage, chicken, oh my. It went on forever. Then, once you think you've had it all, BAM, ribs came out. Seriously, it was too much we couldn't fit anymore. Lastly, our server Connor was great. I would go as far as to say he was the most attentive and professional server I've had in the last dozen sit down dinners I've had. It is a little pricey, but you do get what you pay for. Four dinners, one pitcher of mocktails and one cocktail came in at just under $300. read more

I'm struggling with this review. You know how every so often you love or hate a dining experience but can't put into words why. Service was okay, place was clean. We just legitimately didn't like the food. My daughter and I have been to a bunch of ridizios, and we enjoyed this one the least. We didn't like the Parmesan chicken at all, nor the sausage nor the lamb. In fact, we hated the lamb. The steaks were mediocre at best. The flank was the best but still eh. I asked my daughter why she thought it was bad and she said that it tastes like they used fake smoke and most of the meat was under seasoned. Needless to say, we have no interest in ever going back. read more

We decided to treat ourselves to Texas de Brazil for Christmas dinner. We've eaten here several times in the past and it's our favorite Brazilian steakhouse. But sometimes the service and quality can be spotty, so I wasn't sure what to expect on Christmas. We booked an early (3:30) dinner and were immediately greeted and seated by a friendly and festive hostess. It wasn't very crowded but a lot of big tables of families celebrating. Our server Nicole was amazing and took our drink orders right away. The salad bar was well stocked and fresh. My favorite is always the lobster bisque. The meat selection was fantastic and we were never waiting too long for our favorites. They brought out lamp chops right away, garlic sirloin, top sirloin medium rare and amazing filet mignon. Also beef ribs. The Christmas menu wasn't that different from the usual selection but it seemed like they did bring out more of the better cuts of meat. I'm taking off one star because of the price - it is expensive but worth it! However I wish the "salad bar only" option was cheaper - my daughter doesn't eat meat. We were able to afford it more often when we had 2 kids meals. And when I went to use the ladies room, the light in one stall was broken and the door lock on the other was broken. It took away from the ambiance of such a nice place. To end on a high note, Texas de Brazil is a great place to celebrate a special occasion, with upscale decor and dark wood that makes you feel like you aren't in a shopping mall. read more

I'd like to make recommendations to make this restaurant better than what I consider a 3 star review. Keep the reservations that are made to less than a 15 minute wait upon arrival. Ours was 30 minutes to be seated. Keep a front house manager actually verifying that guests are satisfied. Deliver the food as stated if you tell the table Medium rare, don't bring medium well, to well done. Verify that the noise level isn't increased by the music being too loud. Don't run out of drinks. Invest in blinds so that the cars parking don't shine their headlights through the windows. Make sure the waiters make eye contact with the guests, don't let them walk away from the table and not serve everyone. Verify that the food being served is not being over seasoned and is the correct temperature. The salad bar was good ! Make sure the grease catchers are emptied, ( they spilled grease on my pants ) Fix the bathroom doors, both men's and women's doors are being blocked open and that is not classy. I want to bring my family ( party of six ) back, but these deficiencies cannot continue. read more

This is my absolute favorite place the meats are amazing. There's so many choices everything comes out hot fresh and delicious. I love that they ask how you want the meat. The drinks are super delicious as well. It's always clean and the servers are always so friendly. They'll always ask what you like the most so they bring more of it to you. I've never had a bad experience here. There's always plenty of parking and you can make reservations through open table. If you're looking for a good party spot they have plenty of room in the back as well. read more

Food was good. My server was very sweet & so were other staff EXCEPT FOR SASKIA. Let me explain. I was in the bathroom stall and my baby was crying because he got scared of the automatic flush toilet and Saskia felt the need look under the stall at me and my son. Honestly my child crying is no one's business ESPECIALLY IN A BATHROOM. Absolutely inappropriate and I hope she knows that was WRONG because when I went out to confront her she ran away from me hiding everytime I looked at her. read more

Came out tonight to do an early Mother's Day celebration. Didn't have hopes too high after recently visiting another Brazilian steak house chain and being disappointed (fogo). Was very pleasantly surprised by the selection at the salad bar and hot bar. Excellent selection of delicious options. The meats coming around were pretty good, though too frequently seeing the same meats and the ones that we really wanted barely came by once (lamb came twice, beef ribs didn't find). However did try basically all the other meats and the my were decently seasoned. Some did need salt. The sides, mashed potatoes, French fries and fried banana were all brought to the table very quickly. Grateful for that. Other place had like 3 rounds of meat before sides showed up. Oh and that cheese bread, I am obsessed with that. Soooo good but they don't let you take it home... like why not? You going to throw it out anyway! So shame on them for no container for bone broth. But service was good. Attentive waiters. Refreshed our bottle of sparkling water when it ran out. Cleared off plates relatively quickly. Place was a tad loud, but that's just because of a nearby table having a party. Overall grateful for a good experience. Will be back again for sure! And no pictures, because who wants to see my dirty empty plate after I've stuffed my face? read more

Having dined at Fogo in Huntington, I thought TdB would be of a similar ilk. Well, it is similar in theory but not in service, presentation and quantity of offerings. After being seated, I perused the touted salad bar to fine nothing worth taking...a disappointment! It was dismal compared to other rodizios and was not a good start to the meal. We turned the red and green disc to green and awaited the arrival of the various carvers with their meats. We waited and eventually had to hail down a carver and explain what we wanted and would appreciate these guys visiting our table. Our server was sweet and tried her best to help us get served. They offer gratis mashed potatoes and fried banana on the table prior to getting any meat. Once we got attention the servers came by and we chowed down on Picana, filet, steak, chicken and my favorite was the Beef Rib...tender, tasty and really standout. After trying various meats we were getting full of protein. We moved on to desserts which were presented, in wax, on a tray for selection. Not many choices but very sweet. For the $60 a head charge I would prefer other venues such as Fogo de Chow for their outstanding presentation and food choices. We had a good time dining but would probably not return any time soon. read more

Ambiance: B Cleanliness: A Customer Service: B- Food: A- Price/Value: A Let's just get this out of the way - the question you want to know is which is better, here or FOGO. The answer is Fogo by a razor-thin margin, but it is also considerably more expensive, so when you take into consideration price, they are pretty well tied. ---- Ambiance/Cleanliness The dining area was clean and well-maintained, a little bit cramped with some pretty tight corners in some places but nothing that ruined the experience. Customer Service It was spotty. The Gauchos were highly attentive, frequently coming by with different cuts of meat. As for getting drinks refilled, that was a bit harder. Food The salad bar was excellent as were the meats. Some of the standouts were these thinly sliced, seasoned pineapples and the spicy sirloin. Price Dinner is priced at $59 which I thought was pretty reasonable for the quality of the food, though obviously it is still very expensive. The drinks were marked up a ridiculous amount, but that is pretty much everywhere these days. read more

I was invited here with my niece and 2 others. We decided on the salad bar bc I myself do not eat meat ( lol) and was I amazed!!!! It was a huge offer of just about everything you can imagine...fresh set up beautifully. Delicious too... the service was excellent . I'm going back for more. It's a pre-fix menu . read more

Consider this a mildly-belated review for Texas de Brazil as it's hitting the Yelpy world about two and a half months after actually eating here with my wife and her sister and parents back in March. I'd say the delay was because I've been a busy human doing busy human things, but I've written other reviews since then so it honestly boils down to Texas de Brazil just not being anything amazing. You see, in the world of churrascaria, I'm used to Fogo de Chao. I've been to the Garden City spot many times and so my standards were up near their often high marks. I mean, I wrote a four star review for Fogo just because even there it can be hectic and tough to get meats/have a perfect meal, but there are a lot of positives I'd still give to Fogo over Texas. For starters, at TdB you have to order the all-you-can-eat grilled meat selection (at Fogo you have meat options). This could initially sound great because it doesn't limit you to only certain skewers coming around with meats, and you get to try everything available (which we did), but the downsides are it's pricier, you're pigeonholed into that option (unless you want just the salad bar), and you still might end up looking for a specific meat if you're not liking a lot of what is coming around. For all of us, we enjoyed the full meat variety at first, but we got to a point where many meats were tasting rather similar and it honestly made it difficult to decide what to eat and what we wanted more of. It also helped that we came on the earlier side so servers were constantly coming around, but I'm not sure if the frequency would be as high during a busy time period. Speaking of servers, I will give credit to the fact that everyone that helped us was friendly and accommodating. My sister-in-law doesn't like steak and so they specifically brought out two different chickens she (and we) could try. They also did ask a few times if there were any specific meats we wanted so that does mildly squash what I said earlier about not finding what you want, though again, it was not crowded at all so a busier time would be needed to really test this initially helpful staff. Swinging back into the food, the meat varieties might've been better here at Texas than with Fogo, but that doesn't necessarily count as a win. I did enjoy the spicy steak options and a few of the sausage/bacon wrapped items, but a lot of what I was trying just blended together. The steaks weren't entirely popping with flavor and the chickens were a tad dry. As for the salad bar, there were a lot of the same types of foods that you'll find at Fogo (cheeses, sliced cured meats, marinated veggies), though I can't say there was anything that necessarily stood out. Well, the fact that several items were labeled was helpful and something Fogo doesn't do so that was a nice touch. Overall, Texas de Brazil is a decent Brazilian steakhouse that will give you some positives in potential friendly staff and meat options, but you'll almost definitely be paying more because of a lack of meat meal choices. Plus those flavors aren't going to have you dying to come back. So if you have the option between Fogo and Texas, stay out of the lone star state and go to Fogo. read more

The positives included: the restaurant itself being clean and overall very nice. It looks upscale. The service was very friendly and helpful. The manager came around to ask how everything was and the waiter made sure that we had been offered all the different cuts of meat and if we wanted more he would send them over. The salad bar was amazing with lots of tasty options. They were accommodating with our infant stroller and we went for a very early dinner to avoid the crowd and the restaurant was not to loud. Overall the value for your money is very good $60 per person for all you can eat. Areas for improvement: The biggest area of improvement would be the food. For this reason we probably would not return. All of the chicken items were very good and tasted great. I am not sure about the quality of the beef they use but the "filet minon" was offered and it was the worst "filet minon" I ever had. It tasted as though they put an artificial smoked flavor on it and it had peppercorn on it but besides that there was no flavor and the meat was just not good itself. All the other cuts were severely overcooked. We were looking for medium rare to medium and most of the items came out well to medium well. All of the beef also just lacked flavor. Under seasoned with the exception of the spicy sirloin which we enjoyed. I believe regardless of the seasoning and cook however it's all a result of the quality of beef they use. But for the price what can you expect. Another area for improvement is the workforce. Although friendly many of the workers who are carving the meats are not able to communicate knowledgeably about the food. They only know what they are serving but if you ask a question for another type of meat available or cook they don't seem to know anything. I even heard other tables (2 other tables on either side of us) have issues with this. read more

Texas de Brazil in Lake Grove, NY, is a four star carnivore carnival that turns dinner into a sizzling South American spectacle where the meats parade like runway models and the salad bar is a verdant wonderland that could double as a farmers market on steroids. Tucked into the Smith Haven Mall area but feeling worlds away from chain restaurant blahs, this churrascaria explodes with Brazilian flair the moment you step inside, dark wood beams arching overhead like a gaucho ranch, vibrant murals of Rio sunsets splashing color across the walls, and a central fire pit roaring with skewers that hypnotize you into hunger mode. The ambience is upscale festive, leather booths plush enough to nap in postfeast, dim lighting that makes everyone look like a supermodel, and upbeat bossa nova beats pulsing just loud enough to keep the energy high without drowning out your "pass the picanha" pleas. The open grill station is pure theater, flames leaping like samba dancers, while the salad bar island glows under heat lamps with antipasti towers, charcuterie mountains, and lobster bisque that steams invitingly like a siren song. It is loud in the best way, families cheering green cards, couples toasting caipirinhas, a controlled chaos that feels like you crashed a really fancy barbecue in São Paulo. The food is a meat lovers marathon with enough variety to make a vegetarian reconsider life choices, all kicked off by that legendary salad bar where I loaded my plate like a kid at a buffet line on steroids. We're talking imported prosciutto draped like silk scarves, artichoke hearts marinated to tangy perfection, tabbouleh fresh as a Copacabana breeze, and a lobster bisque so creamy it should require a warning label for addiction. Then flip your card to green and unleash the gaucho storm, servers in puffy pants and boots swooping in with swords of glory. The picanha was the MVP, garlicky sirloin cap sliced tableside with a crust that crunched like carnival fireworks, juicy and medium rare every time. Filet mignon wrapped in bacon arrived like a gift from the gods, tender enough to cut with a spoon, while the lamb chops popped with rosemary punch and the Parmesan pork loin melted like buttery clouds. Chicken wrapped in bacon? Yes please, spicy sausage links that snapped with heat? Double yes. Even the grilled pineapple dusted in cinnamon provided sweet intermissions that cleansed the palate like a tropical reset button. Sides are simple but solid, cheesy pao de queijo bites that puff and ooze, garlic mashed potatoes whipped to fluffy oblivion, but honestly who needs them when the proteins keep coming like an endless conga line. Pace yourself or risk the meat sweats, portions are all you can eat for a fixed price around $55, drinks extra but those caipirinhas pack a limey punch worth the splurge. Service was the gaucho gallop that kept this rodeo running smooth as chimichurri, attentive without being overbearing, and genuinely enthusiastic about feeding you into a happy coma. Our head gaucho Miguel greeted us with a booming "bemvindos" and a complimentary sparkling rosé shot "to start the fire," then explained the card system like a pro wrestler hyping the main event. Meats arrived in perfect rotation, no long waits between flips, and when I went red for a breather he checked back with "more salad bar adventures or ready for round two?" Water glasses stayed full like magic, empty plates vanished faster than you can say pass the flank steak, and the salad bar attendants restocked with ninja efficiency so the prosciutto never ran dry. A minor hiccup when one cut of beef came closer to medium than my requested rare, but Miguel swapped it instantly with apologies and an extra slice of bacon wrapped goodness "for the trouble." The manager cruised by in a sharp suit to high five our green card stamina and comped a round of coconut flan that wobbled like jelly on a samba floor. Everyone from busboys to bartenders radiated that Brazilian warmth, turning strangers into carne comrades by desserts end. Texas de Brazil earns a hearty four stars for delivering a fun filled protein party thats almost perfect but leaves just a tiny bit of room for polish, maybe a touch less mall parking chaos or one more signature cut to push it over the top. If you are celebrating a birthday, craving all you can eat excellence, or just want to live your best caveman fantasy with a side of sophistication, grab your stretchy pants and dive in. I left with a belly fuller than a piñata, a stack of green cards turned red in surrender, and a vow to return for the next meat apocalypse. This place doesn't just serve dinner, it serves a skewer swinging adventure that'll have you yelling "mais carne" in your sleep! read more

Awesome experience here with a bunch of friends! We had a large group of 12 people and they were extremely accommodating. The food was fantastic, with manny different varieties of meats and seasonings there was defiantly something for everyone. Pro tip: don't fill up too much on sides at the beginning, they seem to save the best meats for last read more

Came here for mother's day. All in all...servers are rude and flat -- not friendly. Food is alright, nothing extraordinary. We have been to better churrasqueiras, honestly. We just wanted to try this place out as there are no others like it around. Plainly, the meat was okay. The chicken was tough and after a few mins, hard af. I didn't bother eating it. The salad bar is mediocre. We ordered a pitcher of margaritas, lime caipirinha, and 2 bottles of sparkling waters. The drinks were good. Desserts, we had the chocolate mousse cake, flan and pecan pie with ice cream. The desserts were good as well. We let the server know it was our first time. She seemed jaded and stale. As did another server. By the salad bar, they keep a DISPLAY of dessert that they use as a visual menu. My elderly parents didn't know and mom took a slice to the table and questioned the way it looked (lol, tho) and my dad asked a server for a serving spatula and that's when an unamused server said, "no that's fake" so my dad ran to my mom and said, "DON'T EAT THAT! IT'S FAKE". Then our server comes a second later like... "that's fake". Thank you, we figured that out ourselves. -_- Advice for the manager: If you're going to put that by the REAL food, put a sign saying, "display only", or "used as a display menu only - do not eat". It was literally at the buffet area. My mom felt embarrassed and I felt bad because this was for Mother's Day. The waitress didn't even say anything after she said, "that's fake". She just continued, "so did you want to order that for dessert then?" Like EW! I would have said, "oh don't worry, it happens all the time," or something, anything! Don't think I'll be back nor will I recommend to others. Our bill for 4 people came out to $450. The servers already know that they're getting a hefty tip, so they don't work as hard. For that price, I would go to a high end restaurant. In hindsight, I wish we didn't give her the tip we did. read more

We had a reservation for my father in laws birthday. Upon arrival we were asked if we were celebrating anything special and we told them a birthday. Fast forward to when we were ordering dessert specifically told them that it was my father in laws birthday a second time and no happy birthday sung. That's fine live and learn. Salad bar was okay, typical items you'll get in a rodizio salad bar, lobster bisque was okay. The waiter was nice but the actual service from the rodizio was snail pace and it seems like they were only passing around the cheap items can't tell you how many times chicken with bacon passed but waited almost an hour and a half before we got a lamb chop. Under seasoned food overcooked food when telling them that we like mid rare and we received shoe leather. Nowhere near worth what they charge per person. One and done maybe next time take a page out of Fogo de Chao or any of the local rodizio restaurants read more

AMAZING! Great food! Delicious and high quality cuts of meat! Great drinks! Great desserts! The salad bar is huge and well stoked! We came over for Christmas Eve and we had such a great time!

It's not bad, but imo doesn't hold a candle to others in the genre. For the price you can get a much better meal at Fogo if you're looking for a big fancy corporate type place, but honestly for less $ you can get a much better product at Luso just a few minutes from here in Smithtown. I guess when you've been to the authentic local joints you just have a different perspective on these big mall anchors, it's not the same by any measure. read more

Contemporary decor. Young staff. Adequate salad buffet choices resembled antipasto hot and cold along with scalloped potatoes and stewed mushrooms. Meats arrived in quick succession. Mostly salty, well done and tough. The filet (thank goodness) was tender and medium rare. Our table was not offered the lamb for some reason. We put in a drink order upon sitting, they arrived after salad. Our server Louis could not wrap his sweet little head around a "dirty vodka martini". He returned to the table 3-4 times asking which gin and what did I order again... he brought a cosmo to the table and finally my martini with olive. $69 per meal. read more

We figured we would try a different rodizio, being that we've been going to the same one for years! I also tried another very popular one not too long ago and Texas de Brasil was more along the style of that chain, which I really enjoyed so I thought it would be somewhat of the same experience. Unfortunately, this wasn't as good of an experience as my other go-to spots but still a decent place to go to if you're craving all the meat! We came here for my husband's birthday with a few of his friends. We brought the baby with us, and although there's a changing table in the bathroom, which I very much appreciate, the menu is not very kid and friendly. They actually don't have a kid menu...Luckily my son is a savage like his mother, and we were able to share my food. He enjoyed the french fries, the sweet plantains, some meat and of course my chocolate cake which he couldn't get enough of. But more on that in a bit. I suggest making a reservation, cause this place could really pack up. I made a reservation for us and I was a little bit late but they were able to hold our spot. They actually sat us at a really decent table which was right across from the salad bar. The salad bar was decked out with salads, cheeses, olives, vegetables grilled and crudites, prosciutto and sopressata. To the side of salad bar were some sides to have along with your meat. This included rice, beans, and cheesy potatoes. I didn't end up trying it but I also heard that the chimichurri sauce was on point. Brought to the table where french fries and sweet plantains. We were all ready for all the meat, and had our little round signs on our table all turned to green. It took a while for each cut of meat to come to us, and I don't think we even were able to try everything. I do have to say the meat was very tasty but a bit on the fatty side. The sausage was spicy, and I wasn't expecting that! I think our favorite cut was the prime rib. A close second was the garlic steak. I did feel bad for server who seem to be the only one manning tables for the whole entire restaurant. It was hard to find him at times, and it took a while to be tended to, but I really felt for him. I wish they were better staffed. For dessert, they have a tray where they display all their desserts and let me tell you they all look delicious. I'm a chocolate cake girl so I definitely honed in on the triple chocolate cake which included milk, white, and dark chocolate filling. It was very good. Not too rich and a different take on a chocolate cake and I do have to say I enjoyed it. A decent experience all around not sure if we would come back for special occasion, but definitely did the trick for now. read more

...and this wasn't as good as when they first opened. Service now sucks, and the meat servers just stopped coming around. I told so many people to come to this place when it was new. Never again. Supervisor came around after over an hour of this (after our waiter went to him) and said that now that he was aware of my dissatisfaction, he would make it right. Too late. Instead of going around and seeing how people were getting along with their meal, this guy barely left the hostess station and bar area, and now that he's "aware", he would make it right? He said that dessert would be on the house. Fuck that. We didn't pay $45 per to come here for dessert. ETA: the bill was adjusted down, and after drinks were factored in, it was about $40 per. Whoopie. read more

Sorry, no pictures. I came here with my two best friends for dinner. We made 5pm reservations as it was a Friday and figured an early dinner would be a good idea. We started with the market table. I had the lobster bisque (which is their signature dish), some olives, marinated shrimp and some charcuterie meat and cheese. The bisque was just okay. We got there 30 mins after they opened and the bisque was lukewarm. Eh. I did not take seconds. The meats came around like rapid fire. One after the other, even when we were mid chew. This isn't a bad thing as we didn't have to wait. Sides came out too; French fries, cheese bread, mashed potatoes and caramelized bananas. The bananas were a nice touch of sweetness after all the savory meats. I'm not a huge red meat eater, so I stuck with the pork and chicken. I enjoyed it all; chicken wrapped with bacon, sausage, Parmesan chicken, Parmesan pork, bbq & pork ribs. My overall favorite was the sausage. They also do not have any beer on tap, bottled only. Overall I would say it was average. read more

Leave your jacket in the car, and wear old clothing. The serving waiter spilled grease on my jacket, which was hung over a chair and a couple of minutes later the host came over with an expense reimbursement form and his apologies. Then maybe 10 or 15 minutes later, the serving waiter spills grease right in front of me on my shirt and my pants. I've been eating this style of cooking for many many years and not once have I got a single drop of anything on me. Only things that didn't get grease stained were my socks and my underwear. So, I got not one, but two request for reimbursement of expenses forms that have to be submitted first to the host and then to corporate. Give them a couple stars back if you like your meat well done. That's how all but two cuts were served. I like my meat rare to medium rare. Those cuts were few and far between. Salad bar was very good. Bottom line, I couldn't possibly go back. What a total bummer. Also, I had to ask for chimichurri when the host came back with the second damaged clothing reimbursement form. At $60 per person I'd be willing to try Fogo de Chão as I believe they offer a Rodezio selection in the $40 range. To his credit, the host comped one of the dinners and gave us a free dessert. But what's done is done. read more

Everything from waiter to the Gauchos to the meats told waiter what types of meats we wanted and he did not failed us!!

Been to other TDB locations and thought it was great. This one was mediocre. Salad bar was decent with a good amount of different options. Lobster bisque was very good. The service sucked though. For starters our waitress was super pushy with drinks. All we wanted was 3 glasses of sangria and she pretty much made it seem only a bottle of wine ($50) or a pitcher ($40) were the only options. Decided a pitcher was fine and she kept pushing "well the bottle is only $10 more, why don't you just do that" over and over again. Maybe because I want a pitcher?! Finally won that battle, but very annoying. Meat serving service wasn't good at all either. They came around with the fillers and cheap stuff first (20 min after card had been turned over) passed on it all and had to wait a good 10-15 for anything else to come. This continued for the duration of the meal. Smart because it gives you a ton of time to fill up and your brain and stomach to decide "no more, please!" Had to ASK for the good stuff. Sausage, chicken, lamb, no problem they came by twice. Filet, bacon wrapped filet? Nope. Had to actually ask the waitress to make that happen. When you did get the good stuff the slices were (actually) laughable. Other tables were giving them a hard time too. Super stingy. Overall, this location was a letdown and not what I was expecting. Not all TDB's are created equal & this is one I don't plan on returning to. read more

We had a great meal here the other night. And if you've ever been to a Texas de Brazil or other Churrascaria, you won't be disappointed. I try not to fill up on the extras but I did enjoy some salad and cheese. And don't forget to try the cheese bread. There's plenty to choose from such as soup, salads, etc. but I'm here for the Picanha steak. And it was excellent, seasoned to perfection and so juicy. They were plenty of other meats to choose from but I really only like this cut and so I filled up on that. And I was not disappointed. The service was very good and they seem to be practicing good Covid protocols. The best part is the deal from Costco where you can buy $100 gift card for $75. So, we took advantage of that and made this fairly pricey dinner, more affordable. If you're in the mood for steak, this is certainly a great place to try different cuts. read more

Came here for my first Brazilian steakhouse experience and it definitely met my expectations. Don't sleep on the salad bar, there are a lot of great options there to help balance out all the meat you are about to consume. That being said, the meat is naturally the star of the show, and it is quite tasty. From all the different cuts of beef, pork, chicken, and lamb my personal favorite was their bacon wrapped filets. The lamb was a little gamyer than I'd like, but still good. The staff were very friendly and constantly bringing food around, it was even hard to keep up at points! If you can believe we had room for dessert, we did, the cheesecake was the personal favorite. Plenty of parking to be had in the smithaven mall lot. read more

Crazy eating experience! The "salad" bar alone is enough for a meal. Their chicken was amazing, and even though I don't love beef, the filet lignin was cooked absolutely perfectly- warm red center. I will definitely go back. read more

I recently came here after work mid week during Happy Hour. The place was packed, and diners seemed to be enjoying what they were eating. I sat at the bar, where I ordered the creme brûlée and cheese bread. Both were out of this world! That is why I am changing my review from an initial two stars to four stars. The only things preventing me from giving Texas de Brazil five stars is the lack of yucca fries, which is on the menu in the other Brazilian rodízios where I dine. read more

Texas de Brazil - Mostly Italian cuisine, such as antipasto, artichokes, and multi-color peppers - Steakhouses Near Me - Lake Grove, New York

Let's unpack it. We had a big party of 16 for a 22 Birthday celebration of which we brought our own cake. They gave our cake & cake pops which valued $800. The manager said it was cut up and given to another party table. We are appalled by this and their correction is free deserts. We will never come back!! Regarding the meat; they kept bringing the chicken, steak, sasuage. Until we asking the Manger for the other meats THEN that is when we receive all the meats advertised read more

We've been here multiple times, and I wanted to give an updated review. Hostess greeting and seating is pleasant. Restaurant is very clean and presentable. Salad bar has a nice variety of hot and cold options, maintained, always clean. We have never had a problem with service. Servers have always been pleasant and accommodating, as well as the meat skewer servers. Tonight, the meat came out faster than we could keep up eating, as it was early, and the restaurant was fairly empty. We always have an overall good experience, we feel consistency is key, which is why we return. Tonight, we really enjoyed the garlic steak sirloin and lamb, both were perfectly cooked and flavorful, but all the variety of meat was chef's kiss! read more

Here's the Scoop! Tonight we celebrate our daughter's birthday dinner here. This location is in the Smithhaven Mall next to Macys. The decor is beautiful! Upon entering you walk into a large dining room space where tables are spaced nicely. A large salad bar with a gorgeous floral arrangement is on the right and the hot food against the wall. There is a very nice selection of salad choices and in the sternos black beans, rice, scalloped potatoes & lobster bisque. All seasoned, fresh and tasty. Meats served are pork loin, lamb, filet Mignon, ribeye, sausage, chicken etc. Our waitress Ana S, was on her "A" game. She made sure our glasses stayed filled and that we had everything we needed. The bathroom is well kept and beautiful also. Dress is casual but this restaurant gives a classy vibe. My daughter enjoyed her meal and birthday celebration. She was treated to a dessert of her choice. Fabulous! Definitely check this venue out! You won't regret it. It was around $57 per/p. but worth it! I'll be back for sure:-) Ask for Ana S. read more

I'm a carnivore through and through. God bless anybody who wants to be a vegan or vegetarian. If that's you, stay as far away as you can from this place, because this restaurant is a meat eaters dream. I was part of a group of four guys who came to celebrate a belated 40th birthday. We made reservations for 6pm on a Saturday and were promptly seated upon our arrival. Our waitress came over not too long after we were seated to give us the whole run down on the place. A couple of us had not been to a Brazilian steakhouse in the past and not sure how it all worked. We ordered drinks, a few beers, and I got the traditional Brazilian Caipirinha. It was ok. I've had better at other Brazilian restaurants. I switched to beer. Usually there's a "food" bar where you can go get salad, veggies, hot food, etc. With Covid restrictions, that's a no no. So now they give you card to fill out with items that were once in the food bar, and they will bring it to you. It's not as comprehensive a list as what they used to have, but you're not really here to fill up on salads and veggies...what this place is about is the MEAT!!! So you get a little round card, looks like a coaster, that's green on once side, red on the other. Green in this place means GO, bring me the meats. Red means STOP, I'm full, or taking a break. You flip the card over to the desired state. Once I flipped my card to green, the "gauchos," or guys roaming the restaurant with skewers of meats would stop by, and give you a piece or two of the meats on their skewer. This varied from sausage, chicken, pork tenderloin, bacon wrapped chicken, and a variety of beef options. A lot of people complain that they don't get enough of a particular type of meat. You can always ask your waitress & request a specific meat. Also, all of their red meat is cooked to medium rare. If you require it a bit more cooked, you can request this as well. Initially, I was overwhelmed by many servers stopping by the table to offer me a cut of meat. I just couldn't say no to anything, but then started to slow down and be a bit pickier and particular in terms of what I was saying yes to. Yes, the meat is a bit salty, so make sure you drink plenty of water. I didn't have any issues later in the evening or the next day with any type of salt overdose. I did manage to save a little room for dessert and got the Bananas Foster cake. It was delicious. Highly recommended. I felt like our group put a serious dent in their meat inventory for the evening and it was a fun, fun time. Service was good, food was good, and the company was fantastic. Pro Tip: BJ's is selling FOUR $50 gift cards for $150. So that's $200 worth of Texas de Brazil credit for $150. Essentially 4 for the price of 3. read more

Texas de Brazil - your card to order from the food bar...don't fill up with this stuff - Steakhouses Near Me - Lake Grove, New York

I'm not certain how this location rates 4 stars, but apparently, some yelpers have low standards when it comes to quality of service, and quality of food. I've been 4 times now, and each visit it got worse. At this point, I've given up because today's visit was by and far, the most horrific. It's time for this location to close before it stains the entire franchise. Servers seem to want to be anywhere else but at your table. Meat was overcooked to the point of being gray. Filet actually bounced. Salad bar was only half-stocked. Here's a list of nearby locations where better quality beef is available, and at a fraction of the cost: Burger King, Sonic, Taco Bell. Want an actually GOOD steak? Try the nearby diner instead, because what I got at Texas de Brazil was something I wouldn't even feed my dog. read more

The sides are very boring and not very good. However, the meat is delicious. It's all you can eat. Quality is good. Service is very good also and there's a fun little card that you make red and green that indicates when you want to be fed overall it's a very nice restaurant. read more

This place is a gem hidden in Smithhaven mall.. I saw a review on Yelp and I loved the reviews so I decided to try this restaurant. Entering the restaurant it wasn't crowded at all so we were seated within 5 minutes. The table setting was very elegant. They had a section just for parties which at the time of our arrival we witnessed a baby shower which was lovely. The food selection within the buffet was OK but it could have more of a selection. As far as the meats that were continuously coming to the table was delicious a bit overwhelming. There was a great selection of meats. Dessert was phenomenal it was AA plus. Our waiter was extremely helpful very friendly a plus 4 the waiter as well. Overall experience cleanliness was great set up was great the price was pretty reasonable . I will call back again with my entire family next time. read more
