Yesterday we visited this restaurant with a group of girls to celebrate a family member's birthday. Overall, the experience was good, especially thanks to our waitress, who was very kind, attentive, and helpful throughout the evening. However, there are a few things I would like to mention as constructive criticism so the service can improve: 1. One of the young men serving the meat would say things like "You want more?" instead of addressing customers more politely, such as "Would you ladies like more?" I understand that in English this may not sound as noticeable, but for us as Latinas, the way he spoke came across as more disrespectful and lacking manners. It may seem like a small detail, but the way employees speak to customers also reflects the quality of service and professionalism. 2. The same employee was wearing an extremely strong amount of cologne. The smell was so overpowering that it could even be noticed while he was serving the food. Since employees work directly around food, I believe this is something that should be handled more carefully. 3. At the end of the night, we brought a cake for the birthday celebration. Another employee approached us holding a plate and said, "I came for a piece of cake." The way it was said came across as a bit disrespectful or overly confident. I think it would have been more appropriate to politely ask if he could have a slice instead of assuming it. I say all of this respectfully because I believe these are small details that could greatly improve the customer experience. read more

I do like the food. However, when they are busy and overbooked, they don't really make up for it. Also, we tried to use our gift certificates purchased for a charity event they were part of, and because it was a month out of date, we were denied. That's fair, I suppose. But combined with the lack of customer service when we were waiting in the stairwell, getting in everybody's way, it all left me feeling like an afterthought and not a valued customer. In the future, my suggestion would be to honor a reservation made at the hour it is made for, or, at the very least, offer a drink to your patiently waiting customers. read more

Don't have apple salad that's what these restaurants are for I would waste my money to drive down to Knoxville and get a good meal and a better brazil restaurant. They charge you too much and not even walk around and give out meat only seen 3 people in 35 minutes. I would give this a 0 of that was an option. Don't waste your money. read more

The meat that is served is overcooked and flavorless, fill up on the salad bar to avoid gristly tough meat

I truly enjoyed this! The meats were delicious! I would certainly be just as happy with getting only the salad bar. It was amazing and fresh. I loved the Lobster Bisque and it was my wife's favorite part of the meal! I was surprised that they didn't have anchovies for the Caesar, but it was amazing anyway. I look forward to going back! read more

I had a reservation for 7 for my wedding anniversary and was not sat until almost 7:20 which was a bummer but at least we got good seats: right next to their wine room and close to the bathroom but away from the crowds. I had placed a request on the reservation asking for dessert with a note, if possible, to surprise my husband and as we sat down my husband passed me a note with my name and my "surprise" request on the note... so I just shook my head as it was no surprise anymore. On that note it also mentioned "anniversary". We handed the note to our waiter as he asked for it, read it, and still asked if we were celebrating anything special?... I was confused as the note had the details but nonetheless we explained and he replied with we basically do not take those requests. Fine, I get it. The experience was perfect as usual; we had no issues with our food or service afterwards. The location is modern and a lot fancier than other locations we've been to so I was happy about that. The parking can be hectic and stressful, especially on weekends, so please plan ahead as they have a grace period. My last point is that I was sent a coupon but unfortunately they do not accept those on Saturday or holidays which was a bummer but definitely an error on my end. Overall, I'd say I give it a 9/10! read more

Texas de Brazil - Lexington - Dessert. Brazilian Cheesecake - Steakhouses Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

This was our first time here and although we have been to various places similar to this one we were excited to try it out. Also it was quite a bit less than the other places we have been too. We made reservations for dinner service prior to arriving. The entire restaurant was beautiful and set up with the glassware. It was very quaint and welcoming. The hostess was absolutely amazing! Very kind! We got to our table and the server introduced himself got us our drinks and explained the service process. All of the servers coming by with meats were awesome! They even ensured my toddler had small pieces of meat too! They didn't leave my kids out of the experience which is a huge plus for me. They asked my husband what his favorite cuts were and they made sure he had them constantly! He never once had to wait which was impressive. I had the salad bar which had an amazing layout and great options of hot and cold foods. I enjoyed all the fresh vegetables, the charcuterie items and the cheesy bread! Absolutely delicious! We truly had a great experience. Overall all staff members were so kind and the food was amazing! My husband and kids loved all the cuts of meats, shrimp and poultry! They are not huge on lamb so we didn't ask for that but overall just a great all in all experience! Overall a pricier place to eat. Parking can be a little tricky since it's in a beautiful and busy place. Mostly side street parking. No matter where you park at Fritz Farm it's an enjoyable walk! read more

Met coworkers for dinner and I arrive late getting there after seven... They all said that everything was good... I must say I enjoyed the lobster bisque, even though there was no lobster and I was very disappointed in the meats they served... They were all overcooked and tough... Missing flavor so I am not sure if it was because of my late arrival... Service was OK. It was a Brazilian restaurant and the restaurant is beautiful! Having been to other Brazilian restaurants. I don't think I could recommend this to anyone! read more

Loved the salad bar and all of the different items that's offered. I wouldn't come hear looking for a great steak! Everything was ok but all was over cooked besides one sirloin slice. It's ok but the meat wasn't anything great! read more

Really amazing place! Their salad and soup bar in the Brazilian steakhouse scene of Kentucky is the best! Their meat selection is above average to the competition, though they raise some of their prices on premium meats post covid. Even still, this is a refined dining experience like many Brazilian steakhouses. The servers are a very hands on, and want to give you a great dining experience every time. The ambiance is very nice, upscale, and clean. I do recommend this place if you're into Brazilian steakhouses! read more

The food here is delicious and what I consider to be healthy! AYCE! I wish I could take all of the goat cheese and lamb home with me but alas....it doesn't work that way. The servers are helpful and not overbearing yet still friendly. The gauchos are completely focused on delivering the meat to your table. The drinks are great. I recommend a Caipirinha! At my most recent visit I was able to enjoy the shrimp. It was delicious. Somehow the flank steak was even better than the filet mignon. If available be sure to try the Moqueca stew. I could eat a bowl of their Brazilian Vinaigrette all by itself. One of my favorites. Very clean dining room and restrooms. Warning- the tiny little red peppers are spicier than they look but are fantastic. read more

Im sorry but i have to be honest . As a Brazilian my wife and i take "Churrascaria" very seriously . By far the worst experience , i recommend ya'll get a Brazilian Manager to run the place . Yhe meat was eather raw or very well done . read more

I haven't been to a Brazilian steakhouse in a while, so I was excited to visit Texas de Brazil. They have the usual set up with a salad bar and hot bar. The service was overall good: everyone was friendly and they did a good job of consistently bringing over meats. However they seemed to keep bringing over the same meats. Maybe it's because I came during a weekday (Wednesday), but I saw no lamb chops, garlic picanha, filet mignon wrapped in bacon, Parmesan pork loin, beef ribs, pork ribs, or petite filets. In addition, a majority of the meats were well-done, the spicy picanha especially! I'm not sure why the server asked me how I liked my meats cooked when it was irrelevant to what I actually got. I will say the mashed potatoes and pao de queijo were delicious. Unfortunately the main attraction here at Texas de Brazil are the meats, and these were done very poorly. You'd be better off going to an actual steakhouse for these prices. read more

Texas de Brazil - Lexington - Spicy picanha - Steakhouses Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

This is our first time here. This is a Brazilian steakhouse that features several different cut's of flame grilled lamb, pork, beef of chicken as we as a several options of Chef crafted items. The first thing we tried was the Brazilian Cheese Bread. I have the Spicy Picanha, which sirloin that has a very fiery kick to it. My wife had the Chicken Breast Wrapped in Bacon. We had the Caesar salad that has Grana Padang cheese which was amazing. For desert we have a slice of the Brazilian Cheesecake, This was an amazing location for dinner, they do not open to after 5 pm. You also have the option to building you own Churrasco plate of 8 oz of flame grilled meat, two sides and side of chimichurri sauces with the amazing Brazilian cheese bread. for a different flair from the traditional steak house this place is defiantly worth a try. Service was excellent and it has the warm family style feel to the place that is very welcoming and relaxed. A must try if you are in the Lexingotn area. read more

Disappointing Brazilian experience. Not sure if it was a bad night but the food was not good. Very salty very dry. Service was fine. We were sat quickly. read more

Texas de Brazil is the perfect date spot. If you love meats and cheese and salad, that is a perfect place to go. It is all you can eat Brazilian steakhouse so they bring around different meats to your table and you choose if you wanna or not they are definitely some meats are better than the others but I like to try a little bit of everything. I think the salad bar is also delicious I like the couscous salad, potato salad, prosciutto, salami, cheese. They also have a hot or as well with some rice beans and soup. They also have a delicious dessert far. My favorite dessert from there is a Brazilian cheesecake. I've never had anything like that. Also, if you are wanting some cocktails, they have some really good strong ones as well. read more

Myself my wife and another couple visited for Thanksgiving (all of us are senior citizens) By the time the meat got to us it was the last piece of meat on the skewer and not all of us got a piece. I asked the waitress if she could help, she said she would talked to the servers. 20 minutes later no meat other than chicken and sausage. I complained again, which did no good. When pouring water she missed the glass pouring the water on the table and walked away. I approached her and asked her if she could grab a napkin and clean it up. Waitress- no follow-up. We had to remove excess dishes and buss our own table even after we asked for the dishes to be removed. Ribs-none, chicken and sausage often, Flank steak- more than rare. Bathrooms looked like a truck stop, garbage cans overflowing, towels all over the floors. Asked The waitress asked later how was everything. I told her our experience was not good she did not say anything just asked if we wanted dessert. The manager came over because we had gift cards and had to be processed by him. We told him of the experience, he said he brought in more staff to handle Thanksgiving. You could tell he didn't care about our experience. Did not offer anything to try to make it right. After $300+ meal, left the restaurant still hungry. read more

The wife booked reservations for this location at 7:00 pm on a Wednesday. We were seated right away, and due to the current COVID virus, the staff had every safety measure in place: masks, gloves, and tables spaced six feet apart. Next, since I am deaf, and the masks make it impossible to lip-read, our waitress Leah worked with us to describe the changes in place. Their salad bar was closed, but we had a paper menu that allowed us to choose our salad, piece by piece. The list included hearts of palm, tabbouleh, cornichons, mozzarella, peppadew peppers, marinated artichoke hearts, and around twenty other options. Next, the meat selections started coming to the table. All were excellent. You can stop and rest a bit, and if you were ready for more, they would return. They had beef, pork, lamb, chicken, and sausages. I thought everything was fairly priced for quality and quantity. We would recommend visiting Texas de Brazil. read more

The food was great. I did not know until I got there that it was buffet style for everything except the meat

We had a 2pm reservation on Thanksgiving Day. The restaurant was very busy, but we were seated promptly. My wife requested medium well and I ordered medium. I don't believe a piece of medium well ever hit our table. The gauchos (carvers) were scarce on the floor and the beef was even more scarce. I've eaten at the San Antonio, TX location and it was awesome. Lexington, KY location not so much. Poor planning by management in my opinion. By the way we were also celebrating our 18th wedding anniversary and drove 1-1/2 hrs to get there. Very disappointed. read more

Very fun experience. Food was delicious. Great service. And salad bar was amazing! Don't feel pressured to eat all the meat if you don't like it wait for a new cut. Highly recommend. Kind of pricey but nice date night. read more

Very expensive but very good. Atmosphere was great. The staff I can't say enough about. Everyone, I mean everyone we had any contact with was amazing. If you are planning to go Costco has basically buy 3 get 1 free gift cards. You can expect to pay $50 dollars ahead. Without drinks read more

Having loved our experience at the Huntsville, AL location, my wife and I were excited when her parents chose this place for her younger brother's and fiancée's rehearsal dinner venue. Having been impressed with the service during their preview visit, my in laws requested her to serve our group. It was the perfect atmosphere for the party in the private room. The Brazilian steakhouse format, or churrascaria as they call themselves, affords you to eat copious amounts of delicious meats served from the gauchos. Grab some sides from the salad bar, sit back and allow them to bring tasty cuts of meat. My favorite has to be the spicy sirloin, but you cannot go wrong with any of the cuts of steak! If you somehow have room for more once you are finished, the desserts are divine and make excellent chasers to a savory cornucopia. I chose the chocolate mousse cake and savored every bite of it! Whatever your occasion, don't forget to consider Texas de Brazil! read more

Delicious every single time. You must make the card red or the food will keep coming!

Delicious mests, good salad bar, super friendly staff. We noticed a handful of bad reviews before we went, but I am guessing it had to do with the pandemic, because things seemed pretty good when we visited yesterday. We made a reservation ahead of time and were seated on time, food came on regular intervals and there was a great selection. Staff was super friendly, and was happy to go find whoever had a specific meat if we wanted more of something. Overall a good experience. read more

Always love a meal here. You will not leave hungry. The (salad) buffet is always solid.

Most interesting meal. My advice is not to fill up on their very good sides and keep the meats coming. After about a half hour, different varieties of meats were offered. The ribs were a great dessert! Those and the cheese buns. Our thanks to our son and daughter in law who suggested it. We all had a great experience. read more

Have been multiple times for special occasions and have LOVED it every time. Its very fast paced, so do not come if you want a relaxed environment, as servers will come around repeatedly for you to pick and choose which meats you want. Everything I have had is amazing. The cold bar is equally as great, but try not to fill up as you'll want to try what they bring around. Workers are friendly, reservations are not hard to get, and the atmosphere is nice. Expect to dress semi-fancy. Some people arrived in sweatpants and pajamas when we were there and they were definitely out of place. read more

Delicious Brazilian steakhouse with a huge salad bar. The restaurant was really nice and the bartender's service was excellent, but it took a while for them to come around with the meat. I don't know if that's normal so I would definitely come back to try again. read more

Food was great, with a great selection of foods. Many of the meats are prepared medium rare, which I prefer. Service was pretty good, or server was a little slow with refills and removing used dishes from our table. The restaurant was clean, well decorated, well spaced and just a great overall setup. It was an overall good value as you have an opportunity to eat many things that you would normally not see on a menu, both on the buffet and the meats they bring around. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed having dinner here with family. The fellas got more than full of meat and I really enjoyed the sides & salad!!! The staff was very good at what they do and were very gracious to resolve an issue with my daughters gift card. Thanks! We'll be back. Once we recover from over indulging. read more

My go to Sunday afternoon. They have an excellent salad/ cold food bar. The star is the meats, they bring you fire roasted meats until you flip your card to red ( or you die). My hardest challenge is to stop when I'm full. It is sooo good. I have addressed that by making it a regular stop. read more

We went on Saturday night in December and it was not as crowded as I expected. Everyone was friendly and meat was brought out regularly. I was surprised that the only drinks offered were water or alcohol. We were told the tea machine was not working. The salad was fine and everything looked and tasted fresh. The potatoes on the hot bar were bland and didn't really add much to the dinner. The meat was disappointing. It wasn't well seasoned or particularly juicy. There was a lot of pork, chicken and sausage offered. We had desserts and they were freshly thawed. I would not order the desserts again. Overall, it was expensive and unimpressive. If you love beef, go to a steakhouse. read more

Got a reservation in advance. Sat us by the bathrooms at a table that rocked. Bathrooms were like a truck stop restroom. The meat was often no more than room temperature by the time it reached us. The meat was just ok. Not at all a good value. Everything was overpriced for the quality. read more

Great food and plenty of it. Fantastic salad bar. Wonderful beef short ribs. The staff could not be more accommodating.

For the money I don't think it's worth it because I'm not a big red meat eater. Also my husband got really sick afterwards. The only thing he ate differently was the salad on the salad bar. The kids loved it. They love red meat and all the different varieties. It took the workers a while to come by our table even for drinks. But we also was seated in a weird area. Eventually other tables were sat around us. read more
