Vila Brazil - Cedar Hill is a MUST TRY! From the moment I walked in, the staff was so attentive and polite. The service alone made the experience feel welcoming right away. Now the food... where do I even start? There was a station with so many different options ranging from veggies, starches, breads, and more. There was honestly so much that I couldn't try everything, but my favorites were the empanadas, the rice with beef, and the meatballs. They also had a salad section that I thoroughly enjoyed. There were so many fresh options to choose from. Next up...the stars of the show: The Meats. Once I turned that card over to begin, there was no stopping! Every meat that came around was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. OMGGG the parmesan chicken was delicious and juicy. There were still several meats I didn't get to try because there was just so much food. I also tried a few things that were new to me, like the Brazilian cheese, grilled pineapple, and a Brazilian margarita. That Brazilian cheese was sooo good that I can't even fully explain the taste. It almost reminded me of a pancake with syrup, just less sweet. The grilled pineapple put me in the mind of a cobbler but with a grilled twist. The margarita had the perfect balance of sweetness and liquor. I left feeling full and extremely satisfied. Vila Brazil - Cedar Hill is definitely Flavorchaser Approved! read more

Came here to celebrate my husbands birthday with his parents and the ambiance, staff, food, and service was all excellent. I loved that the were understanding about my three year old having a meltdown! I enjoyed the pasta and other chicken dishes that were available besides the meat. I only gave it a four star because it felt a little rushed the guys with the meat sometimes would ask once and if you didn't reply fast enough they'll walk away. But everything else was really great and special, we came in on a weeknight so maybe that's why they seemed rushed?. Anyway, if you are in the area definitely check them out! read more

I am so glad this place is in Cedar Hill! Customer service is A1! We were greeted as we walked in and our server Roy was exceptional. It was a friend and I having lunch, and she's never been to a Brazilian Steakhouse. There were so many choices on the salad bar and on the hot bar which you couldn't decide what to start with first. So you have to go back several times to try a little bit of it all! From the steamed veggies, mashed potatoes, chicken lasagna, stew Meats, Rose and bread. It was all just delicious! Now let's start with the meats that just kept coming, the garlic seasoned beef steak, the chicken and you cannot forget the grilled pineapple! Don't forget the Brazilian lemonade is delicious as well. Decor was upscale glamorous and great for girl dinner, family meetups and birthday parties! I will definitely be back! read more

Had a great dining experience at Vila Brazil in Cedar Hill. The food was hot, fresh, and consistently well-prepared throughout our visit. The servers were attentive without being intrusive, and the gauchos came by frequently with a great variety of meats. When we requested specific cuts, they were brought out quickly, which we really appreciated. I also ordered a custom-made cocktail, and the bartender took the time to explain the recipe in detail--such a nice personal touch. The dining area was very clean, and the bathrooms were spotless as well, which always makes a good impression. Overall, excellent service, quality food, and a well-run restaurant. We'll definitely be back. read more

...wonderful customer service from all staff....our server in particular, Emiliano, checked on us frequently, always had a smile on his face, and really impressed my girl friend when he called her "My Lady"...that's just old world charm...and since it was her birthday, he made sure she got a little something special, including getting to wear the manager's cowboy hat for pictures...Emiliano turned her birthday lunch into an event that she hasn't stopped talking about...thank you Emiliano, and to the staff at Vila Brazil... read more

We've been living in DFW since 2019 and this is BY FAR the BEST place we've eaten at! The service was TOP NOTCH, the food was EXTRAORDINARY and the atmosphere is the BEST in town!!

So happy to have a fine dining option here in Cedar Hill! We loved this place. We went on a Saturday afternoon and were pleasantly surprised with all the food options for a very reasonable price. The customer service was phenomenal. Never once did we have to ask for tables to be cleared or drinks to be refilled. The servers were so attentive and professional. And the food.... Yummmmmmm! We were visited by multiple servers who were offering all kinds of cuts of meat; bacon wrapped chicken, Parmesan chicken, garlic Parmesan pork, sirloin, sausage, lamb, etc. The salad bar had salads, but also various meats, pastas, veggies, breads, desserts, etc. Everything was great! Sidetone.... I always secretly judge a restaurant by the cleanliness of its restrooms and the restrooms were immaculate. Bravo!!!!!! I can't wait to come back. read more

Amazing food and table side service! The main buffet style salad bar includes every type of side item including limited meat options such as stews and small cuts of fried or grilled meat. For an additional amount of about $10 you can include the table side meat options where they carve an ever rotation selection of meats at the table. The staff is very attentive and multiple table side servers will assist. read more

My wife and I dined here for our wedding anniversary and it did not disappoint! The interior gives a warm and relaxing feel with comfortable atmosphere. Everything looked very clean. We were greeted at the door and seated with no waiting. Roy attended to our drinks and explained how serving worked (green / red). No sooner did we return from the salad/ hot bar and the proteins were presented. From lamb to steak and chicken and ribs they just kept coming. EVERYONE we came in contact with were very nice and hospitable. Always being asked if we needed anything. The salad and hot bar may have less choices then Brazilian BBQ but, Vila Brazil was perfect for celebrating our anniversary. If reservations are your thing, I suggest using the website. I called during the day and used the automated service (twice) but Did Not show a reservation when we arrived. If you enjoy Fogo, Vila Brazil in Ceder Hill is a Great alternative. 4.5 Stars read more

Food Is delicious and cooked phenomenal. The sides they offer give homemade comfort food vibes and the cuts of meat are delicious and seared to perfection.

Ambiance is amazing and comfortable! $80 for two, can't beat that ! And I'm not sure if the rewards system is broken but it's 1 point per $10 and 1 point is 1 dollar to claim. No complaints here ! read more

Vila Brazil - Dinner for 2 on a Friday night - Brazilian Near Me - Cedar Hill, Texas

Dined on a Monday afternoon around 5 PM. Even though we were ahead of the dinner rush, all the offerings were still there. The food was fresh and delicious. The service was above average. And the restaurant, including the restroom, was super clean. Overall, a great value for the price, as compared to other similar steakhouses in the area. Only complaint: the pork was very dry. read more

Excellent service! Wonderful food! I highly recommend the spicy picanha! The meat melts in your mouth leaving behind a burst of flavor that overwhelms your senses! There are many other great options, but this was my personal steak favorite! The salad bar and side entrees are spectacular! They have red beans and rice y'all! ... and the beans are well-seasoned! If you are in the Cedar Hill area you need to try this place out! Finally!!!! A little culture to the area! read more

Now let me tell you I came out of Yelp hiatus for this review. From the moment you arrive you embark on a truly Brazilian experience. The decor is well appointed, modern and luxurious. The friendly hostess quickly greeted us, the smoky churrasqueira smells outside didn't disappoint. For dinner - We saw Rodizio swords with large hunks of lam, ribs, spicy beef, top sirloin, glistening fajita flank, tender spicy beef, Parmesan chicken, bacon chicken, chorizo, picanha, THE best roasted pineapple ! The market table has vegetarian options, fish and soo many things to try, it's a feast on its own. So well taken care of it made us feel like family. Never even an empty water glass. We chatted up the owner to find that that he grew up in Brazil and brings all his hometown flavors here to Cedar Hill. They offer *salad bar only, *weekend lunch special and are fantastic for groups.. we've already been back for *weekend lunch. Love our Brazilian steak houses: this place edges out Fogo for value & free flan, better selection, Vila is more generous with service than T. de Brazil. You Must Go! +Destination status+! read more

Vila Brazil - Cream Brûlée - Brazilian Near Me - Cedar Hill, Texas

Not one to leave negative reviews but our experience here last night was not good! Service started out good and then as it got towards closing it was like we were forgotten about. As soon as we sat down we asked for a wine list which they did not have. They just proceeded to list off wine types. We found one online and they let us know they didn't have any of those in the restaurant. We were still being open and asked if we could at least sample something which they did. From here we still had an open mind and were excited to eat. We've been to many Brazilian steakhouses and this one's meat selection did not have a variety and most meats were dry and overcooked. We also requested certain meats that took forever to bring out. Sometimes they would bring out meats and only serve some of our table even with green cards facing up. On top of all of this 3 of 4 people in our group woke up in the middle of the night throwing up and with stomach issues. Pretty sure we got food poisoning. We will not be going back!! read more

Very elegant place. It gets busy really fast, but the wait staff is more than prepared for the rush. Lots to sample. It's nice to go at your own pace. Everything in the buffet area is fresh. Then the meats start hitting the table. It's one delicious protein after another. It was a great experience. We will definitely be going back. read more

Excellent service, the hostess was amazing got us a table immediately. The food and ambience was amazing, my family had a great experience.

10/10 service, they were very accommodating to our large party. The food was fresh and cooked to perfection, servers were kind and constantly checking on us to ensure we got all cuts of meat brought to our table. Jack provided great service and made the experience 10 times better! I would definitely recommend visiting Vila Brazil. read more

The Food was very good. I'll give it a 4 and not five only bc the early rounds of the meat were on the well to well-done side of the cook. I prefer medium rare steak and the chicken was a bit overcooked on the first pass. I simply requested the meat at a different temp and they promptly brought out meat cooked to my preference. The buffet is significantly stocked with cold and hot options. Black bean stew "Feijoada" was excellent and it paired well w braised collard greens. The space was also redone from the previous tenants (Crab n Bar) and was concerned about the lingering "crabby" smell but that was not an issue. From the front of the house, to the servers and the GM -Jack. The service was attentive, kind, respectful and caring. Definitely returning read more
