    A nice place to go for a special occasion. Good food and fun to watch how all of the servers navigate everything. The salad bar is good & not the typical salad stuff. In all honesty you're there for the MEATS!! Beef, chicken, lamb & pork they bring it all around. *Helpful hint: go to Sam's or Costco & buy the gift cards, 2 $50 gift cards for $75*

    We were seated and almost finished our meal before I had to walk around the restaurant and find someone to give us water. I also asked for bread at that time. 15 minutes later we were completely done with dinner but would hate to leave without enjoying the famous Brazilian cheese bread so I asked another server for help. Keep in mind that we never had a server introduce themselves and bring the bread, potatoes, bananas etc Eventually got some help from the kitchen staff, the gentleman barely spoke English, but was amazing and brought us everything he could… I haven’t left yet, but I’m assuming they won’t forget to bring our bill :( I’m calling you out Texas De Brazil, this was the worst service I’ve experienced at any level. I get better service at fast food restaurants. The salad bar is very limited at lunch, so is the meat selection HOWEVER I realize that it’s almost half the price (compared to dinner) so the value is fantastic. If you have a huge appetite at lunchtime and want quality food for a good value, you can’t beat Texas de Brazil, just don’t expect good service

    Even though we didn't have reservations we were seated right away. The problem was we were in a narrow hallway next to the kitchen door and across from the waitstaff station. The 2nd problem was that it took some time for the gauchos to start serving us, they walked by several times. Other than that, the food was delicious! If you like meat, this is the place to go!

    Loved the modern decor, the bar, and the salad bar the most. So many options! And of course I did the rookie mistake of filling up on salad bar and side dishes (I'm not disappointed, was worth the price!) and I was only able to try a few pieces of meat. The ones I did try were delicious though, and next trip I'll definately have to make it past the salad bar to try all the meat options.

    My sister brought me and some family for my birthday. All the food was good even things I didn't think I would like. We went for lunch full menu with salad bar. Great experience.

    Staff was on their A game! We had a work party of 18, made a reservation, and other than a little wait for our tables everything was great. The salad bar got a little crowded but it was exactly at lunch time.

    Ate here for the first time this weekend and was super disappointed. When I'm paying $49 a plate I expect to have an excellent service. Salad bar was excellent. You could truly make a meal out of that without having to have any of the meat. Lobster bisque soup was some of the best I've ever had. The bacon wrapped filet mignon was over the top. Our server seem very frustrated and not happy to be at work. Food was great though!

    Best food of its kind in the whole state. Salad bar is so much more than a salad bar. The service was top notch, the restaurant has an amazing feel and the selection of meat is never ending

    I visited on April 21, 2023 and had a 2pm lunch reservation for my family of 5. We arrived to the restaurant at 2pm and waited to be seated, we were seated at approximately 215pm and then waited to receive the “spill” of how the restaurant conducts itself, and gave our waiter the drink orders (all waters). Around 220pm we were cleared to go to the salad bar if we wished, four of us individuals did not decide to eat off of the salad bar. We were waiting until our elder guest was done with his salad plate to get started on the meat, however they never came around! We sat around with empty plates until 310PM when our waiter asked if we wanted the check- we notified him WE HAVENT EVEN ATE! We asked if there was a cutoff time for meat to be served, in which he told me that they should serve until the last guest in the restaurant leaves. We then asked for the manager as we were one of the few remaining tables left in the dining room, our waiter came around and stated that they stopped serving meat at 230PM and he apologizes that he didn’t understand why that occurred, that they should have still been serving. Our waiter then proceeds to still bring us a bill although we had not eaten or been served, heck we were not even allowed to go to the salad bar until 220pm, and they stopped serving 10 minutes later! Again, we asked for a manager and were not provided the opportunity to speak with them. I have called the restaurant twice and have yet to be connected with a manager, I have also left an inquiry to be contacted and have not been contacted. At this point, I am going to dispute the charge with my bank as we should not have been made to pay for meals we didn’t receive in the first place!

    We came during the plandemic so it was different than normal apparently. The meat was amazing the picahna is by FAR my fav. Highly recommend it. Would have liked to tried out the salad bar at my leisure but hey all good.

    We celebrated my 56th Birthday and had a wonderful evening together. The staff was very attentive and friendly and the food was completely off the chain. If you consider yourself a carnivore, then you need to check this place out at least once in your life. The top sirloin alone makes the trip worth your while

    In wonderful downtown Ft. Worth where the west begins. You get that western vibe....like you can almost feel a cattle herd headed up Belknap for the stockyards. T.D.B. as we call it aint your dusty old dining hall of western lore....very nice and well appointed interior give you the upscale experience. Wait staff...spot on. Drop your napkin on the floor...you wont be using that one again. Very pleasant, caring, conversational, and do an excellent job. Drinks....outstanding and excellent selections of bourbon, scotch and a very good wine list. Food....I could talk forever about the salad bar and the meat. Just be mindful NOT to eat all day and do not plan to eat the day after. Double extra rare picanha is my goto....and they fill me up with it. Turn that red/green coaster to the green side, grab your tongs....and be ready to graze....for awhile. Yes it is on the expensive side for many folks(like me)...but well worth a once in awhile visit. You get the full experience of the setting, a couple drinks, a bottle of wine, the 10 ⭐️s food, all delivered by an outstanding staff.

    We had a great experience on Christmas Day. It was busy, and it took a bit for the meat to start coming. It may have been that they were waiting for a majority of our group to finish with their salad before coming our way. My husband turned his chip to green right away. The meats were really good. We ate mainly beef. All were excellently cooked and seasoned. We git a bacon wrapped chicken. It was really good, but we were not sure if it tasted so well because it was hot. The other meats were warm but not hot. Service was great for a large group. Everyone seemed well pleased. The cheese puff bread is my favorite side.

    Food is second 2 none. Service is great. But... Tried to make reservations 3 times in last several months and Open Table never has seats and the restaurant always claims they aren't answering their phones because of malfunctions. Had to drive 45 minutes round trip to make reservations in perspn. Emails to the restaurant and corporate office went unanswered. Got the blow-off from hostess when I tried to discuss issues. Special occasions worth the extra effort, otherwise stick with Outback or SaltGrass.

  • 5/5 Dave SEO e. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious, as always. The lamb chops outperformed last night, my wife usually doesn't like lamb chops, but last night even she liked them! Like always, I hit the salad bar to hard, but there are just so many delicious things on there! Rachael was a great host, and the atmosphere was almost perfect! This is our go to for special occasions, although we always end up to full afterwards, but that's my fault. You can not take leftovers home, so I always consider it a challenge to finish my plate! Lol we'll be back for more pain, we always return.

  • 4/5 Clint M. 1 year ago on Google
    It was a fun experience, but I probably won't be going again. It was way too noisy, and the food, although plentiful, was pretty much okay. The salad bar was excellent. Very pricey.

  • 5/5 Erika L. 10 months ago on Google
    Went for our 1 year anniversary and they did not disappoint! It was my husband's first time experiencing Texas de Brazil and he was very impressed, said he will definitely be back! Lol. The server Erykah was amazing!! Couldn't have asked for better service! 10 out of 10!

  • 5/5 Michael R. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome visit to my favorite place to eat. The rolls are the best. The salad bar is top notch, even though it’s a smaller version of prior years. They kept all the good stuff like shrimp salad,smoked salmon and cuts of deli meat. The marinated and grilled pineapple is worth the price if the buffet. Its sooo good.good. The lobster bisque is a favorite and a perfect to dip the bread in. As usual, all the meats were cooked and seasoned to perfection. The picanah is great but I think my favorite is the skirt steak. I just don’t under how this place could ever rate under 5 stars.

  • 5/5 Jimbo L. 8 months ago on Google
    Always a treat to come here. Dionne our waitress was amazing. Dion went above and beyond the Call of Duty to take care of us and we enjoyed the atmosphere and the cleanliness of this restaurant. We look forward to coming to visit again and the near future great place to go. And to top it off the desserts were amazing.

  • 5/5 Jeremy m. 7 months ago on Google
    Great experience! Haven’t been here in maybe 15 years and the quality and attention to detail hasn’t changed. The experience made my daughters 21st bday amazing and for that we all thank you and our server team!

  • 5/5 Diana W. 9 months ago on Google
    This guy was AMAZING funny! My husband and I came here for our anniversary and everything was perfect! From the waitress to the meat guy to the dessert. This was our 1st time to eat at this place and it was really good.

  • 5/5 Alex A. 6 months ago on Google
    I hadn't been there I several years and I was pleasantly surprised at how good everything was, the service all around and the food was outstanding. I mostly ate meat but I tried a couple other things and desert. Great variety. Manuel and some of the other servers were amazing. Will definitely comeback to bring my family because my wife has not tried this place.

  • 5/5 Josh D. 3 months ago on Google New
    I usually go to Texas de Brazil for special occasions. The food is always the best. There isn't one type of food they have that I won't eat. Location is good. The lobby is a little small so trying to stay out of the elements while waiting for your table is a little tough, but all good. Service has never disappointed. The servers are fast, they are accurate with orders on drinks. The folks that come around with meats are friendly and always smiling. They always try to ensure they have meat that is cooked to your liking. The food is perfect. Do NOT fill up on the salad bar. It had to be said. The salad bar is so huge and even if you get little bits of everything you can be hurting once the meats come. While Texas de Brazil is a little pricey, it is worth it for those special occasions.

  • 2/5 S L. 4 months ago on Google
    No wonder the last review was from several months ago.Way overpriced for dried out, over seasoned cheap cuts of meat. All sides to table were cold even after reordering. The main waitress seemed bothered to bring extra plates or clean utensils. Then not knowing dessert wasn't included the waitress gladly proceeded to show us the tray and told us to pick what we wanted. 4 unimpressive desserts came out for another disappointment. The only person satisfied got the salad bar only. The bill was $ 275 and the waitress was pissed with a $25 tip which was way to generous for her sub par "service". Just wanted a special dinner for Christmas Eve memories but the only thing I'll remember is not to go again. Too many other good places to dine in Fort Worth, forget this one.

  • 3/5 Christi R. 3 months ago on Google New
    First of all, our server Leah did not want to be there on Christmas, it was very evident. The only reason we tipped her was because it was Christmas, her assistant as she called him was great. The card machine was not reading properly and her reaction to my son was if it were his fault. 3 out of the5 stalls had no toilet paper in the bathroom. The plus was that the lady at the front desk was great and the salad bar was great. Next year tell the Debbie Downers to not work Christmas your restaurant is too expensive to tolerate such behavior.

  • 5/5 sergio C. 3 years ago on Google
    I visit here multiple times a year, and have been doing so for the last decade or so. They are always consistent, the drinks are awesome, and the service is unmatched. Favorite meat: garlic picanha. Drink: caipirinha. Salad bar item: jalapeño soup

  • 5/5 Valerie G. 3 years ago on Google
    Food Delicious! Couldn't self serve salad bar due to covid but could fill out a checklist of everything you wanted. Servers were great. It was my birthday so got $20 off our meals and free dessert. Parking lot was expensive but found a space on the street for $1.75.

  • 1/5 Branden B. 3 years ago on Google
    I generally don’t review businesses, however, when I was told there is nothing they could do, I felt that I should submit some kind of statement. When calling to set up a reservation I was told they are completely booked for the next month. I spoke to Roberto who is a manager at the Ft Worth Texas location. He made no effort to try and work my family in. All he could suggest is for my family of 5 to try walking in and be prepared to wait hours for a table to open...if one opens. Apparently every table has been reserved for a month? My suggestion is that you should think about staying open longer than just 4 hours. It must be nice to be doing so well that you can afford to just turn people away. Ultimately I’ll just be returning hundreds of dollars in gift cards back to Costco simply because Texas De Brazil’s business is so strong they don’t need more money.

  • 4/5 Michael W. 3 years ago on Google
    Delicious meats! Great staff. Was a little noisy where we were seated due to a large table of guys, but once they left we had a nice, unhurried visit.

  • 5/5 anna s. 3 years ago on Google
    This was fantastic worth every penny. It is a bit pricey but we went to celebrate an event and went to dine. Highly recommend this restaurant. They serve you everything no walking up to the sides bar. Very lovely.

  • 2/5 Shari D. 3 years ago on Google
    2 stars only because the food was great! My husband and I were there to celebrate my Birthday. The service at Texas De Brazil left much, much to be desired, and we will likely not go back. We will make the trip out to Fogo de Chao instead. We were seated and our drink order was taken, we got our salads and the waiter brought our drinks, and that was the last we saw of our waiter for about 30 min. We waited about 20 min after finishing our salads, no one had given us tags, we were not brought clean plates for our meat. We flagged down one of the meat servers who then found another waitress to bring us what we needed. Service improved some after that. When we were seated we were told my desert was on the house, however it was on our bill and we paid for it simply for lack of time, but very irritating since I would not have even ordered dessert if they had not told me it was on the house. Over all when I pay that much for dinner I expect decent service as well as good food. The service was terrible!

  • 3/5 S K. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing food and they extra effort to keep things clean during this time. However, they have tables packed wayyyyyy too close together In wall to wall. They probably need a bigger building or space out their tables.

  • 5/5 Enrike G. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is great but y'all better chill coming to my table every 5 minutes with some MEAT knowing my fat self will say yes!

  • 5/5 Victoria D. 3 years ago on Google
    This is our FAVORITE churrascaria location. We've been to 2 other TDB locations, 3 Fogo de Chao locations, and a small private one - none can do it better than the Downtown Fort Worth location. Their entire staff truly embodies the art of fine dining. Their level of service is unmatched compared to the other locations we've tried. We visit for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and sometimes, just because we have an itch. The only "complaint" I would have, is that they do not have baby slings. Sure, probably not many people take their babies with them fine dining and maybe they don't have them to discourage the act - but - in the case that someone does, it would make it more convenient for all involved. For Valentines this year, we visited with an exclusively breastfed 3 month old. I felt it less visually appealing to set my baby carrier on another chair, than it would have been in a sling, closer to my body (they sit lower and more angled than a chair). But, at the end of the day, the staff was happy to accommodate us with a larger table and extra chair for which we are thankful. Enjoy!

    The service is horrible. Was treated like a homeless person. Is nothing like the one I went to in Arizona. Was eventually seated and was never brought a plate.

    First time we went here the salad bar was much bigger however you really go for the meat, meat, and more meat. Do recommend buying some discounted gift cards at costco or sams before going we took a party of of 13 and they had no issues honoring the over $500 in GC.

    We celebrated my daughter 30th birthday here. The meat carvers were on it, our plates were never empty. They were patient, and kind. The salad bar was amazing and delicious. The entire evening was outstanding. And the cake was incredible. Such a great night. We will definitely be back.
