Wife and I have gone here once a month. Had suggested friends & Family. We were there and this waiter would skip us while we had our hands up at one point. Other guest caught on and thought it was a joke. If management could see us in the surveillance they would've fired this "waiter". We haven't gone since!

If you are a carnivore, you will be in meat heaven. Awesome spot for a date. Go on payday cause it ain't cheap and hungry but you get your moneys worth. Staff is amazing with good attention to details

Texas de Brazil offers an all-you-can-eat grill meat extravaganza, complemented by a decent salad bar. The concept is promising, with an array of grilled meats served tableside. However, our experience had its ups and downs.The grill meats were generally good, with a variety of cuts cooked to perfection. The servers continuously brought out skewers of succulent beef, lamb, and pork, offering a carnivore's delight. However, a disappointing aspect was the abundance of bacon-wrapped items, which became increasingly stale as the evening progressed.One letdown was the chicken, which arrived slightly underdone, detracting from an otherwise enjoyable meal. Additionally, the ala carte options seemed to inflate the overall cost, adding to the already hefty price tag of $55 per person. While the quality of the meats was commendable, the pricing structure left much to be desired.Furthermore, the dessert selection was lackluster at best. After indulging in the savory meats, we were hoping for a satisfying conclusion to our meal, but the dessert options fell short of expectations.Overall, Texas de Brazil offers a decent dining experience, albeit at a steep price. The grill meats are the highlight, but the bacon-wrapped selections and undercooked chicken detract from the overall enjoyment. With some improvements in pricing and quality control, it could truly shine as a top-notch dining destination.

Make reservations and be prepared to wait for the good meats to come around. Everything I had was great and ultimately I ate so much meat that it qualified as a war crime. A little pricey but I left feeling like it was worth it. I'll definitely be back and I'll probably leave hating myself, just like I did this time. A- it gets loud in there.

Absolutely amazing establishment, always great service, super nice staff, well attentive and go out of there way to make sure you have a good time, will do extra if you ask always try their best, you think it's pricy with around 55 per head but with the amount of side bar options you have plus all the premium meats you have that's included it's well worth it, super nice atmosphere as well, real homey vibes with still feeling like you're in a foreign place, overall 9.5/10 location desserts aren't included but are also delicious and well worth it! P.S. The lamb is top tier if you're a lamb personDietary restrictions: my gluten free niece enjoyed all the meat she got to try, and got to eat the cheesy bread and most of the salad bar due to them using all gluten free ingredients when able in most of their products they will be happy to tell you what you can and can't have, very accomodating!!!Kid-friendliness: My nieces loved it, my younger niece enjoying the salad bar only option which was around 35 instead of normal price which was amazing for the price as she enjoyed all the different options, while my older niece got to try all new meat she's never had! plus they loved the bananas and mashed potatoes brought to the table for us.

Meats are all very good and well seasoned. The salad/food bar was also good, but not great. I didn't eat the meat, so that was my entire meal. The price for non-meat eaters is very high for what you get. We'd go back because the meat eaters enjoy it, and that's the point of the place.

Matthew our server was great, very attentive, and fun. He had it a very enjoyable meal. The food was better than any other restaurant I have been in. Only wish there were more hot side dishes. But in all I will recommend Matthew and Texas de Brazil.

Food was delicious, as usual. Only complaint was the lobster bisque was barely warm. Our server spoke to the manager and I saw him check the soup but after returning a short time later to get another bowl the temp was still barely warm.

If there was a option for 10 stars I would even do it, I would give this place 11! The food, service, and the ambiance were all amazing. This is the best resteraunt I've even been to in my life and will recommend it to anybody in the area.

The quality of food still achieves excellence - nothing compares to the offerings at Texas de Brazil. The service (Kevin) was pushy, disorganized, and created a sense that we were not meant to be immersed in the dining experience. We also had previously spent approximately $50 per person. We ordered 4 dinners with no extras, 1 bottle of house wine, 1 soda, no coffee, no dessert, and no replacements on the sides. We spent $300+. This is exorbitant in my opinion and did not align to the website information consulted before reservations. Also, we did not feel welcome to visit the salad bar beyond the initial visit. This was my favorite local restaurant and I feel disappointed.

This restaurant serves delicious meats cooked just right, and the staff is friendly. The meats were yummy, and the people working there were friendly and helpful. This place is an excellent choice if you like good food and a welcoming atmosphere. Give it a try for tasty meat and friendly service.

This was the third time I've been to the Albany, NY location and was surprised by how terrible this service was compared to other times. It seemed our poor waitress was waiting on too many tables, which means she was only able to come to our table every now and then. It took over 15 minutes to get our cocktails then over 20 minutes to just get water. I purposely booked the reservation so we would have plenty of time to take advantage of Happy Hour, but we are only able to get 2 drinks before the time was up. The meat portion of the dinner was great, however the salad bar looked like it was sitting there for a while. The bread was so hard I think I could have cracked a tooth. The cheese was dry and not very appetizing. I was scared to eat the smoked salmon (even though it's one of my favorite things) because it looked like it was sitting out for a while.
