Dining at Texas de Brazil has been a cherished Father’s Day tradition for our family, especially for my husband who has always enjoyed the experience. Unfortunately, it saddens me to say that this may be the last year we continue that tradition.
The bill for two adults and our three children (ages 5, 10, and 12) came to around $300 after tip. While the price point itself wouldn’t typically be an issue, it becomes harder to justify when the food and service fail to meet expectations.
The most disappointing aspect was the service from the gauchos—the staff bringing the meats. They were noticeably slow in approaching our table and often skipped us altogether, even though nearby tables were being served more promptly and consistently. My husband repeatedly requested his meat at a specific temperature, but those requests were ignored, which was especially frustrating given that this was a celebration for him.
As for the food, it was decent but not remarkable—certainly not on par with the premium price tag. The overall experience lacked the energy, attentiveness, and quality we’ve come to associate with Texas de Brazil in years past.
It’s disheartening to watch a once-beloved tradition lose its spark, but this visit simply didn’t live up to the standard or the sentiment.
