    Birthday celebration!  She wanted steak and that's what she got.  She was very happy with her birthday dinner!!!

    First time to eat at this restaurant and we loved it. Celebrated my daughter's birthday and enjoyed the environment, excellent service, the food was amazing. I don't think there was anything we didn't like. The chocolate mousse cake was delicious too. We will definitely be back next month to celebrate more birthdays.

    Not only is the food amazing and the service impeccable, the view of the lake is spectacular!

    Definitely our "go to" for wonderful service and amazing food. My fave is the Pacahna steak (house special)

    Fantastic service and delicious food at Vila Brazil. From the owners(Lauri and Roberto) to the manager, to the waitress (Maria), and the servers, we had an amazing first visit for Larry's 71st birthday. We will definitely be back!

    Not sure how long Vila Brazil has been here, but now that I'm aware it's going to become a place I frequent. The layout is very similar to most Brazilian steakhouses. The rooms are dimly lit with standard white tablecloth settings and minimal decor. One thing that sets them apart however, is the fact that the back dining room area has this beautiful view overlooking Lake Ray Hubbard. You have the option to dine outside and enjoy the setting sun as you eat, certainly adds a romantic vibe for the lovers. The only drawback with dining outdoors is having to watch for flies/gnats . If you're lucky enough to be seated in the back room though, you get the view without the hassle & after dinner can always choose to walk out onto the patio. Another thing or two that I can commend Vila Brazil on are their seasoning skills & side selections. Each meat had a different flavor profile, which made them more interesting to eat. When it comes to the sides, you want it they have it (especially hot sides, which I find the other more common places skimp on). Seriously they have: Fruit salad Chicken/Tuna salad Build your own salad Fried polenta fries Fried Yuca fries Pao de queijo (cheese bread) Grilled cheese with honey Chicken lasagna Fried fish Corn Mushrooms Mashed potatoes Sautéed squash Sautéed green beans Roasted potatoes Feijoada (beans with meat) Brazilian Empanadas Rice & for dessert Flan (at the bar) or grilled pineapple with cinnamon that they bring around, and is an absolute MUST. I find it also paired well with the meat. Much love to my waitress Kassidy A. She was super attentive the whole time, not afraid to strike up conversation & made sure I enjoyed everything I ate. I ate like a Queen for $40 before tax and left very satisfied, so there's no question that I'll be back.

    all the meats.

    Well, well, well over all this place was GREAT! Unfortunately, I didn't get to take a picture of the salad bar but take my word for it when I say there are plenty of delicious options to pick from!! The meat is always fresh, warm, and juicy! The servers make sure you're checked in with periodically and they're very attentive and friendly! The ambiance is nice, my only drawback was it was a little crowded. Definitely, will be back! And recommend

    TG Steakhouse was a pleasant surprise. Had I known about this restaurant when I lived closer to…read morethis side of town I would've dined here at least once a month. I love the layout of the inside. It's open concept so you can see the chef cooking the meat in the kitchen from the main dining room area. There's also a neat, well designed hand washing station in the hallway that leads to the restroom. Overall ambiance is good with sufficient seating, though on the smaller side. What's different about this restaurant is the variety of meat dishes they offer. I've eaten at plenty of Brazilian restaurants in the DFW metroplex, but never have I ever seen chicken hearts, brisket, beef ribs, ribeye, shrimp and so much more in the rotation. For the dinner to have been $55 with tax (& me ordering an espresso shot) for the high quality cuts I am super impressed and certainly recommend others to dine here vs the other more mainstream establishments that are always advertised. I also really enjoyed their salad/hot bar...though not the biggest, there was a nice selection of sides to choose from. All in all I really enjoyed the service & food here and definitely see myself returning soon.

    I was brought here by my partner for my birthday dinner this year, and wanted to say that while it…read morewasn't bad, it fell short of expectations. We're regulars of EG Steak up in Plano/Frisco, and I found that a much more ideal experience. PROS: - Brazilian Lemonade was very good, I was left wanting for more - Shrimp was available as an option, which I find unique for a Brazilian steakhouse - I enjoyed the picanha and the garlic steak CONS: - The atmosphere of the place is simply less formal than desired for what you're paying. It feels a bit like your local Italian joint. Tables are close together, full light blasting, cheap tablecloths and incorrect labels on the stuff at the buffet - Most of the meat we got came to us lukewarm. I only got one piece of meat that was hot - Our service wasn't very great. We kept getting repeats of the same lower quality meats we didn't enjoy, kept getting repeatedly passed up by meats we did want despite our green table indicators and trying to get the guys' attention, and couldn't really get anyone to come to our table very often. - Some of the meats just weren't good. The chicken, for example, was salty and inedible. I also found the texture of the sirloin very, very tough. The lamb was relatively flavorless. - I don't know how much of this I can attribute to the restaurant themselves, but on a Friday night, this place was littered with kids and large families that weren't under control. Kids running around, listening to YouTube videos on full volume, etc literally right next to our table. - My partner noted that it was my birthday, having seen some of the reviews about this place making it a special occasion. It wasn't acknowledged, not even a "happy birthday" from any of the staff. Overall, for just $15 more per person and a half hour drive north, just go to EG by Stonebriar. Definitely a more elevated experience for the price point.

    Amazing little Brazilian steakhouse near 635 and Preston! Never knew this was here. The drinks…read morewere . Service was great! The servers serving the meat were not as experienced as Fogo de chao but it was practically the same thing for lower price. We appreciate the detail they had serving our table. The salad bar was nice and clean. They had extra hot sides in metal trays so don't miss those! I probably didn't eat enough but I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a lower price Brazilian steakhouse or for a small special occasion. There was one meat I didn't care for but again when you're paying for all you can eat you at least try them all. the others were awesome and they would cook them to your preference too.

    What a nice surprise! My wife and I were craving an epic salad bar, and this place really hit the…read morespot. We arrived right when they opened and they were fully ready to serve us. We've had trouble with some places not being ready yet, but there were already a few families ahead of us ordering the meats. The ambiance is a big open dining room. There are nice pictures of Brazil on the wall and some Brazilian music playing in the background. The place was clean and had no smell other than delicious food being paraded around. The wait staff was friendly and attentive, but not over bearing. We never even got close to running out of beverage, which is a huge win in my book. The salad bar itself was nice. They had the typical assortment you would expect to find at a place like this, but they had an added hit bar with sides and even a few meat options available. The best bite of the day was the dessert plantain. It punched me with so much flavor and texture, I will have to be back just for that. All in all we will be back. Next time with bigger appetites because the meats looked on point. I'm sorry it took me so long to find this place!
