Had a pleasant Christmas Day luncheon. It was crowded as expected, but the food still came out quickly and hot. 2 of us had the filet mignon and one had the tuna. Everything was very good and the cognac brownie prepared at the table attracted a lot of attention. We would recommend

I rarely write reviews, but Texas de Brazil earned it. I’ve been to a handful of these types of steakhouses before, including the one that used to be downtown. IMO, this one has the BEST meat by far. Everything we tried was seasoned and cooked perfectly and we never waited long for another server to appear. The salad bar was not as grand as some I’ve been to but everything was delicious. It isn’t a huge space, and it is very well staffed, so we felt well taken care of. And for the price, the quality and variety can’t be beat. Can’t wait to return.

Everything about our dining experience was lovely. There was a great flow about the entire place. It was Christmas Eve, which can be very hectic with a lot of large parties, but drinks, dinner, refills, table clearing, dessert and check delivery were all executed flawlessly. The food was hot and delicious. We enjoyed ourselves and had a wonderful family celebration!
