The service was exceptional! My glass was always filled and I appreciated the attention. I wasn't too fond of the hot/cold salad bar. While the selection was large, the quality wasn't there. For instance, the meat in the fried rice was overcooked. The pork belly tasted as if it was sitting there for a while. Shrimp salad had good flavor but too many shells in the salad. Roasted garlic was still crunchy/not cooked through. Few of the signs were mislabeled. The bacon covered jalapeño poppers were labeled as brown sugar bacon. That completely took me by surprise because it was quite HOT! In conclusion, I was expecting the same level of attentiveness for the food selections as I received with the service.

This was my first time at Texas de Brazil and it was exactly how people describe it to me…read more Unlimited meat and salad buffet until you're stuffed! I did go during lunch time so the menu might've been limited but nevertheless still great. The restaurant was busy at its lunch hours but we're still accommodating. It was a dark moody vibe there. The server comes and ask if it's your first time dinning and also asks you how you want your meat cooked. The servers then come around with different types of meat to choose from. Our server was really nice and made sure our group was take care of. The salad bar was amazing and full of different choices. I really liked the churrasco cooked in medium. Desserts is served À la carte if you're up to it. Now were the steaks great? I think they're great for the price point. I recently just started having a thing for steak and I would say that it's worth it coming here if you are a meat lover.

It's expensive, but delicious…read more Costco usually has a deal on gift cards where it's $180 for $200 worth of GC, so you save $20. You may think will I really spend $200 there? Yes, yes you will. My younger son is 4. It's only $5 for kids between the age of 3 and 5, which is an insanely good deal. My older son is 7 so his cost is half the price of the adult. With the adult price being $60 that's not worth it to us (I'm sure I'd feel differently if he was a big eater.) It used to be the just salad bar price wasn't that much less expensive than the full price. Now the price is like half. So since I love mainly the salad bar, I stuck with that. This means for lunch on a Sunday for me (salad bar), my husband (full price), my son ($5) and two non alcoholic drinks ($9), plus tax and tip it came out to close to $150. I'm not usually one to shy away from expensive meals but this was a bit pricey to me. Since my younger son loves meat and thoroughly enjoyed the experience I'll do it, but this is a treat, not an every day thing. The salad bar was spectacular as always. I love the scalloped potatoes and lobster bisque. I also eat my fill of smoked salmon. My husband and son enjoyed the meat. Parking is always a pain on the Texas de Brazil side, so I parked on the Kona grill side and walked. Service is always great here. They come by to make sure you got all the meat you wanted. I would recommend this place for a special occasion. It is good, but expensive.

When I got there, my party was already seated and I had to wait for them to bring another table over. By that time, the meat service had already started, so I missed some of the rotation. I checked out the food bar, the black beans looked good but had pork sausage in them, so I couldn't eat that. When the meats came around, most were medium rare or rare, which is too pink for me. I asked for a different temp and one of the guys kinda caught an attitude when I said the piece he gave me had too much fat. It got awkward real quick as he told me there is no fat on the meat. Also asked for A1 and it took a while. Overall, it wasn't terrible. I had a good time because I was with family, but food-wise it didn't wow me. If I'm doing Brazilian steakhouse, I'd rather drive to Texas de Brazil. If you're in Sarasota and don't feel like driving, Rodizio Grill is cool... just not my first pick.

Only negatives: small area, we were lucky wasn't that busy but tight accommodations. Drinks: zero refills, unless you get tap water. We will return? Absolutely.
