You can stay and scarf down incredible meats at Texas de Brazil until they close the lights. There's no menu. It's an all-you-can-eat-buffet, with "swordsmen" trolling about, enthusiastically shaving generous-sized slabs of beef, pork, chicken, sausage, and lamb on your plate. For sure, this is one of the upper-tier restaurants at the Village at Gulfstream Park, for both quality and value. The food is somewhere between very good and great. The dining room can seem combustible at times, with so many patrons and so many employees moving about, but that's nothing if not a testimonial to its popularity. Texas de Brazil is best for big-eaters. For those who know no gastronomic satiety, this is the perfect place for you. The oversized salad bar is replete with vegetables, meats (yes, more meats!), a cheese selection, greens, shrimp, and pasta. It's not cheap. Tax, tip, dessert, and drinks, especially those of the alcoholic variety, will easily push a check for two well past $100. (So this restaurant will be a waste of money if you're not going to devour at least two considerable plates of food). Good thing you won't feel like eating again for at least a couple of days.
