Texas de Brazil Milwaukee - Wauwatosa

I love a good Brazilian steakhouse and haven 't been to one in nearly a decade so was really looking forward to checking out Texas de Brazil. Upon arriving at the location, my hopes were increase when I saw how busy it was, surely this was a sign of a great time to come! Given the throng of people in the front lobby, I expected that even with a reservation, we would have to wait a bit for our table and that was true. The hostess was efficient yet not particularly friendly, though I chalked that up to stress of this peak dining hour. The wait allowed us to take in the ambiance, from the cool lighting fixtures (scavenger hunt: See if you can find the ones that are different from the others, in a local way) to the well-lit bar. When we were seated, we had a long wait for our server, Nicole, to arrive. She seemed a little perturbed that we were all Texas de Brazil virgins, but gave us a 15 second overview which really did not prepare us for the experience. While she mentioned the red/green cards (which almost none of the gauchos actually paid attention to) and the salad bar, but not about the things that she would bring to the table, including excellent mashed potatoes, above-average French fries, and tasty fried bananas. I have no idea if we could request more of these because she never mentioned them. The salad bar was quite extensive, if haphazardly organized. There is no clear direction so the place where people were tending to start (right across from the plates) was nowhere near where the salad was located. Soups are also over here and the lobster bisque is fantastic, even though the container should be labeled VERY HOT and was not. Tip: Grab some croutons or the focaccia bread to have with the lobster bisque. In terms of the main event, most of the meat cuts were excellent, even for someone like me who isn 't a huge steak fan. What was disappointing is that there is no way to request certain items and others never appeared. Also, restaurant was COLD!

Everything was very nice. Would have liked to see more fruit on the buffet but there was plenty of other good things. Everything was done well! Great service.

Have visited Brasil on numerous occasions for business, I can say that Texas do Brasil is as authentic as you can get without travelling to Brasil! I also wish to compliment the staff for being so polite and courteous. We have visited the Milwaukee location many times and never been disappointed! Muito Obrigado

Terrible experience food was nasty service was a bit slow feels like a buffet not classy was not what I read in the their review will not be returning!!!

The service was OK. The gauchos didn't bring different varieties of meat they kept bringing the same cuts around. The server was great . But when it was time to pay the bill I gave him cash and said I needed change to tip him and he never brought the change back.
