Terra Gaucha Brazilian Steakhouse

**First-Time Surprise**To be completely honest, I had no idea what made a Brazilian steakhouse different from any other steakhouse. When we walked into Fogo de Chão, we were completely unaware of what was in store for us. It turned out to be a treat we hadn't expected, offering a meal beyond our imagination. The food was abundant, the variety was enormous, and it was unbelievably delicious. To say I recommend this place is an understatement; I would classify it as a "Must Try" for anyone who enjoys a great meal. Just one tip: come hungry, because you'll definitely leave full!

There are several options on the cold/hot bar that are very good. There's more food than I've ever seen in my life. Many of the cuts of meat are very good. I enjoyed the salmon and the prosciutto/cheese cuts at the cold bar the best. The chimichurri was delicious. Great atmosphere and staff. Seems very clean. I do understand why it's so expensive but that's why I didn't give a full 5. I've had food that's to die for, for much less and then had leftovers. I don't really eat enough in one sitting to justify the price point. That being said, it's good. Some pieces are wonderful. It's a fun experience and should be tried at least once.

Celebrated my son's birthday at Terra Gaucha as it seems like a yearly tradition. We really love the atmosphere and the service never disappoint. Food is really great and so is the dessert. I would not recommend sitting near the salad bar area as there are multiple employees walking around as well as guests. It's a complete distraction for me and I didn't like it. They provided my son with a complementary dessert and a $25 coupon for his next visit.

One of my ultimate favorite new steak houses here in Florida!!! Customer service as soon you walk in through the door, you are greeted with happy faces. The water never touches the bottom of the glass that's how good the service is haha. You can request certain meats to be brought to your table and the waiters are very attentive at all times. The food you have three options for pricing purposes: 1- Full Salad Bar $18.952- Full Salad Bar + Chicken + Seafood Items $31.953- Full Salad Bar + All Meats & Grilled Items $39.95Drinks and desserts are not included. I truly like the fact that they give the options to anyone who wants to eat there at a different price and do not set limits to only meat lovers. Vegan and Vegetarian Friendly!!! Also, they have a great selection of wine and cocktails.Ambiance was classy and nice but can also dress casually especially now in the summer like jeans and a shirt type of thing. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone!

We tried this restaurant for the first time. I was pleasantly surprised with the inside, their service and delicious food. We were celebrating my birthday here. The inside is nice and big and you also have ample parking outside. There's gourmet salad bar with a wide variety of vegetables and salad. They also had a good variety of meat tonight such as filet, chicken, salmon, lamb and more. I liked the filet, chicken leg and salmon the most. The food was fresh and I liked their quick service. The manager was nice as well. He took the time to check on us from time to time. They also offered complimentary dessert. I went with the passion fruit. It was too sweet for me but I appreciated their nice gesture to make the evening special. They also gave us $25 off towards our next visit. I look forward to trying this place again in the future. See photos of the food below.

We went on a Friday night and you definitely need reservations and a few extra minutes for parking bc this place is super popular, and for good reason. The food is amazing and service is nonstop. The salad bar is crazy. Though skip the huge abundance of yummy looking shrimp because the grilled shrimp is even better. Tender and with a hint of citrus. The mashed potatoes were great. The grilled veggies. The lobster bisque. The lamb. There are too many items to mention and all were fabulous. I don't live in Jacksonville but can't wait to go back.

Great food. Nice experience. Friendly staff and nice portions. Worth the money. Unique and refreshing.

I was only going to have the salad bar, but when I got there and saw the food, the service and ambiance I was very impressed. I wanted the whole experience, exception of the red meat. But to be there with my family was a an experience all by itself. I will definitely be back. Great job staff and hats off to the mangers.

My husband and I decided to have a cute lunch date and have been wanting to try this Brazilian steakhouse for a while now as we're huge fans of Fogo de chao. The lunch pricing was great so we decided to give it a go. Upon arrival, the hostess greeted us and we were led to a cute table and our server acknowledged us right away. We received our drinks and a brief run down of how things operated with the meat button before we were set free to head to the salad/hot food bar. The yellow rice, bread puffs and cold shrimp were delicious as well as the fresh fruit. The sweet and spicy peppered bacon was just regular bacon. The lobster bisque was not spectacular and neither were the Brazilian beans. As for the meats - the chicken tasted sour like it had spiked and been cooked, not good at all. Several of the meat cuts were overcooked or extremely fatty but we gave them a second round just to see if it was the part of the meat we received and not necessarily the entire skewer it came out on. The bacon wrapped steak was delicious as well as the picahna. The beef ribs were good and the chimichurri sauce they brought out added so much flavor. We ordered crème brûlée for dessert and that was seriously the highlight aside from the cheese puff breads. If I had to choose between fogo and terra, I'd absolutely go with fogo every time.
