"Before the show at the Opera House we dined and the staff was simply stretched too thin. It's not OK to have to wait 10 minutes or more to simply place a drink order. We ordered both drinks and food at the same time and they arrived promptly, but our server never asked (a) how everything was or (b) if we wanted another drink. I'd dine there again, but be prepared for a shortage of waitstaff."

"This is a small family run restaurant. I've been going there for many years. The food is great! The service is as well. Note: Sometimes, their credit card reader is not working. You may want to call ahead or carry cash."

"Hands down the best pizza in the area. If you're looking for a good patio, you found one...or two. They make their own hot sauce, you can watch the hand-tossed art go down, they play good tunes, and have wet ranch. I base a lot of reviews on their ranch, and this is so damn good ranch. We got a slice of veggie and a slice of the meat special. Both blew away our expectations. I don't think Google Reviews will let me have enough characters to describe how amazing their staff is. Absolutely perfect. Will be back. Probably tomorrow."

"First off it is not the Restaurant fault I think that there is so many bums and homeless encampments in the parking lot because that really throws people off when entering. The city really needs to do something about the homeless problem that is spreading throughout Contra Costa County. The harassment that you have to endure sometimes when entering this establishment is brazen they have no shame or courtesy. The place upon entering was very clean it really felt good to finally enter a place where you are not treated any different from a white person or someone of color because there are establishments surrounding this area that due that are very close. The staff was excellent they need full credit for their diligence and courtesy towards their customers. Service was timely and in order I cant say enough about the staff. Our server was great black gentlemen with the walk outstanding service very approachable and great conversationist. We are surely going to make this a weekly outing for me and my wife outing. The food was also great we initially just wanted to try it out but we tried a little bit of everything from the calamari, friend prawns, burgers and salmon. The menu is easy to read very organized and neat. The sunset backdrop over the water front is amazing experience. Again from front to the back all the way to the kitchen I think the staff needs credit nothing but smiles not just smiles but genuine smiles it might be they just had a great day but it was very inviting and comforting."

"We dine at TdB several times a year and generally with no issues. It was Father’s Day and they were VERY busy…but with a reservation at 6:30pm, we were not seated until 7:05pm. The host stand did not notify us they were running that far behind and seemed indifferent. Setting the expectation at check in could really reduce frustration for late seatings. Interestingly enough, a party with a reservation at 7:30pm was seated before us. Meats came quickly initially, but then we went close to 20 minutes without any service aside from water refills. Our server was not friendly and basically had us clear our own table. Considering the price, which I don’t mind paying, I expect to receive better service than Applebee’s. Hoping this was just an off night."
"We were put in a back corner in front of a covered storage area and basically forgotten about. Unless staff had to access the storage room where we were asked to get up or scoot forward. We had a big party and the overall experience was not very good."

"The food was not good at all. All meat was well done. Even though I told them everything was overcooked and asked for meat not well done still they brought out well done meat. No pink in any of the steak. Couldn't even cut the pork because it was so hard and dried out. Chicken was also completely dried out. Service was also not good. Won't go back. We told the manager and she only offered $15. Discount."

"The salad bar is amazing. The food would be amazing if you ever could get it. They servers started off just fine but the visits to our table got less and less until we had to ask for particular foods. It was so bad we never even were given a chance to enjoy the ribs. Our evening got started wrong when. I learned I could not even get a Bloody Mary. That is a pretty basic mixed drink. I have no issue with foreign servers but I really had a hard time understanding our server. Given we were spending $500 for the evening, I really would have expected things to be nicer. Success ruins the best of restaurants. Here is another prime example."

"If you're looking for a high end place to go out to eat to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or just a Friday night, Texas de Brazil is it! Their salad bar area has so many options for sides, veggies, etc. If you like steak, this is THE place to go. All of their meats are delicious, are served to you hot. Each person gets a little coaster that has a red side and a green side. If you want the gauchos to stop at your table to offer you the meat that they're serving, you turn the coaster to green. If you're ready to take a break and eat what you've got on your plate, you turn it to red and they won't bother you. They have a large variety of meats different cuts of beef, lamb, pork, chicken and they're all sliced for you right at the table. Everything is delicious. They do have a long list of wines, spirits, and cocktails as well. All of their desserts I've ever tried have been out of this world! I think the crème brulee is my favorite, but I also really like the Brazilian cheesecake, and had the chocolate mousse cake for the first time last night. I love going to this restaurant for special occasions!"

"My wife and I decided to celebrate our 13 year wedding anniversary lunch at Texas De Brazil. Unfortunately, it was a horrible experience. The food was definitely not fresh, the servers did not check in much and there was at least a 12 15 minute gap in between. We raised our concerns to the waiter/servers who apologized but didn't do much to address our complaint. I was really disappointed and it's still upsetting that a great day was spoiled with medicore service. My wife suggested to call and share our experience as we spent $100 but left hungry. Spoke to the manager (I believe his name is Robert) and explained the above he basically questioned why we waited a day to share our experience and proceeded to offer 15% off one dinner if we ever decide to come back. I am a loyal customer who was celebrating a special occasion. I've had numerous dinners and business lunches at this location to be questioned why my feedback was offered a day after my meal yet alone a 15% coupon. Maybe the servers had a meeting at the time we had lunch, or something happened in the back or the meat was still being prepared....it could have been one of many reasons but doesn't change that it did happen... Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $30–50 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1"

If not for Crystal, i wouldn't consider going back. She even offered to take my picture with my fiancee and friend, making this a great night for me.

"Food was okay, we were seated with a party of 12 that was screaming or yelling in the same room I was not able to talk to any one on our table because It was so loud. I request the manager multiple time yet I never spoke to a manager no one ever came to our table. We had small children and the large party was using profanity like crazy. The hostess kept apologizing but never attempted to get the manager for us to get a different table. Displace was so disappointing because I did see that guy had a lot of great things to say about it. Specially since I am out of town. I would never go back to this place I felt like I was not taken serious as a customer. Idk if it was because the party of 12 were white and my table were all Mexican. What ever the case is. Will never visit this place again. Terrible customer service."

"The meat is ambrosial. Every season to perfection. You need to tell the staff how you want to cook your meat and then let the meat coasters guide you from red to green as you are ready to enter in a tasteful trip. The salad bar is very fresh and offers a variety of options that you come for more. The staff offered first-class customer service. Recommend a visit and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere."

"I come here often to celebrate special occasions or when I want to indulge in the different cuts of meat Texas De Brazil offers. Our server, Tubijik was amazing. She was attentive and ensured the cuts of meat we desired came to our table. We also got a pitcher of lime Caipirinha. The pitcher can certainly ensure a party of 4 can have refills or more. One of my favorite items from the salad area was the, Pineapple Carpaccio. It was very good. We ended the night with dessert. Overall for a Sunday afternoon, the food was hot fresh and ambiance was perfect to celebrate my dear friends birthday. You will not be disappointed."

"texas de Brazil Tampa is one of my favorite restaurants. All the different types of meat and how prepared is excellent. Never waiting on food as the servers are constantly coming to the table with offerings. The management comes to your table to ensure you are happy with the food and service. New offering with selected red wine where they take 1/2 of the bottle and make a great sangria and you can have the other 1/2 to make more sangria, have a glasses of wine or take home. The kitchen master is awesome and came to the table to discuss how meat is prepared an if everything is prefect. It is!"

"You place your order at the counter, then you can either wait there for your food or have it brought to your table. There are plenty of parking spaces available nearby. The staff is friendly and there are many seating options both inside and outside. The portions are generous and reasonably priced. All the dishes we ordered were tasty and fresh. The employees are efficient and deliver orders quickly."
"I had a reservation at 12:15pm arrived early was promptly seated. It was 25 minutes no gaucho had come to offer any meat. My server came to refill my glass I asked when they would be around to offer meat. The server apologized said he would go see what the issue was. A server came by shortly after dropped off an absolute burnt piece of meat. I advised the server that I had requested medium well the meat on the plate was past well done. Again, he apologizes leaves to go ask for meat prepared to my preference. The manager comes to the table states that she is sorry for the service the meat should be out momentarily. The came out again it was cooked to death, dry burnt. I was beyond mad at this point. The server came to my table I requested my check. He again apologized. The manager brings my check to the table says she took 10% off for the poor service. I show her the burnt meat that was dropped off to me she apologizes says “a couple of people are going to get written up for this”. So i paid almost $60 for a coke, some rice, 2 sausages. Horrible dinning experience is a massive understatement. A total waste of my time my hard earned money."

"Having been to Texas de Brasil before and many chuchasterias in Brazil, I knew what to expect. Salad bar was great. Meats and even shrimp was awesome! We were rather early on a Friday night and only a few tables were full. Unfortunately we were seated right next to the servers station where it was loud and busy. We asked to move tables (there were many many open) and were told no. Meats were delivered fast and furiously. My mom wanted to finish her salad before meat then didn’t get much Desserts were great."

"Wow what a disappointment! As a Texas resident and huge fan from the one time we visited the Dallas restaurant I was excited to find a location in Carlsbad and introduce my family to the wonders of Texas de Brazil. Sadly it started poorly when the hostess refused to seat the 6 of us even after I told her my sister and nephew would be joining us in about 30 minutes. After contemplating a venue change she got her manager’s approval to accommodate us. So we sat and our waiter introduced himself and we asked for water. And then he disappeared for a while, brought us water, then disappeared. After about 15-20 minutes of sitting there I got up and went looking for him to ask if anyone was going to help us and when do we get food. He apologized and said he thought we had been there before because he spoke to my 13 year old autistic son who all are toy told him we had? So I was informed we just needed to go grab plates from the salad bar are to get started. Good to know after sitting around for 20 minutes. Then once we sat there for another 10 minutes the first offering of meat came out. Finally! Only it was well done and not the best intro to what I believe is good quality meat. We would finish our meat and be waiting for a good several to 5 minutes before another offering. It seemed much slower than what I remembered from a previous experience. Once every 5-7 minutes? We definitely were not overwhelmed with food and pretty much ate the entire time. My son and I never turned over our green token and yet got skipped on a couple occasions. Seems like green/red tokens didn’t really matter. We arrived at 7:15 but my 9:30 I had to ask our waiter to bring the check because we had a movie at 10. I asked him how dessert works because I saw other servers going around with a big plate. He just pointed the dessert bar behind me and listed all the desserts and offered to make it to-go. So I ordered one but was surprised to find a charge on my bill! That was never explained to me!"
