Richa Owen
Great experience!! What a great place to go if you love meat or just food in general. So many options to choose from and they are all fabulous. Meats cooked to perfection. Fabulous salad bar with alot more than salad to choose from. The place is decorated nice and has a great vibe. Our server Anita and everyone else were all fantastic. We will be back. I highly recommend this place and experience.

Everything was excellent! The service was great, everyone was very attentive and helpful. Cold and hot buffet was so good. Meat was delicious and done with various different temperatures. Service was super quick, and dessert was amazing!! I do not have a single complaint. Great place to celebrate any occasion. 5 stars all the way!

Terra Gaucha is hands down the best restaurant in Jacksonville. From the atmosphere, the food and the service, everything is impeccable. I am always delighted to go to Terra Gaucha with my family, friends or for business lunches. I recommend everyone to experience the Terra Gaucha difference. You know a restaurant is thriving and is successful when the owner himself goes table to table meeting and serving customers. Joao is one of the most hardworking and loyal people I know and throughout the years has become a dear friend of mine. Go check Terra Gaucha out, you won’t be disappointed.

I can’t get enough of this buffet steakhouse! The spread is incredible—juicy, tender steaks grilled just right, and you can go back for more as often as you want. I’m always thrilled to be here; the variety keeps it exciting, and the customer service is top-notch—super friendly staff who make you feel right at home. It’s a meat lover’s paradise, and I leave happy every time

They were very accommodating on Christmas night. The place was extremely busy, yet every table I observed including ours, got rounds and rounds of meat, side dishes, and exceptional service. I can see why they are a 4.8! They really have the whole service and food delivery to a science. The dessert, which consisted of the Brazilian Flan was spot on tasty, not too sweet, and made like someone actually care about food. We really enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere, and the professional staff seems to enjoy their work. Bravo!

Valentines Day was super nice. The atmosphere was perfect, even though it was packed in there; but that's expected on Valentine's Day. The variety and quality of pretty much all of the food was awesome, and the waiters were great. On top of that, we received a complimentary meal just for coming that day. I definitely recommend Terra Gaucha.

Terra Gaucha is amazing. Seriously mind-blowing and amazing. It is a standout in the local dining scene, largely thanks to the unforgettable presence of Mirza, whose charisma and warmth make every visit feel like a family gathering. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere that he has skillfully fostered makes every guest feel at home. As for the food, it’s nothing short of a carnivore’s paradise. The filet mignon is expertly grilled and extraordinary. The beef rib and ribeye are so intensely flavorful, and the latter just melts in your mouth. Each cut is so distinctly different from all the others, and you can undoubtedly tell the quality and freshness of the meats. The grilled salmon is to [live] for, and the shrimp is tender with a slight charred crisp. The burst of flavors sets a new benchmark for rodizio-style dining. I mean, they even have gourmet jams at the buffet section, of which the sweetness breaks the saltines of the meats or fish; not to mention a prolific variety of luscious fruits – from watermelon to kiwi, mango and blackberries – which you seldom find in any steakhouse. Whereas other rodizios refrain from providing easy access to anything that could be construed as dessert (ala fruit) unless ordered, this place is so meticulously centered around and catering to diner experience that you will be spoiled in every imaginable way from start to close. The sides, usually an afterthought, are equally impressive; the cheese bread, hot and fresh, complements the richness of the meats. And then you have polenta, fried bananas, thick and soft mashed potatoes, and a diverse bar filled with carcuteries, thick soups, gourmet salads and hot dishes. Out of this world! and so beautifully presented. When we can't go for a few weeks, we experience withdrawals 😆 The marbling. The grilled sugared pineapple! The desserts 🫠 Weak-in-the-knees orgasmic. The ambiance is all comfort and hospitality, both upscale and alluring. Pristine tables, modern lighting, stunning art, immaculately clean restrooms. Mirza and his team exemplify superlative treatment. They are approachable, attentive and conversational. Their warmth transforms a meal into an experience, making you feel like the only person in the world. It’s evident that they take great pride in their work. Every visit leaves me not just satisfied but uplifted, blending exceptional cuisine with the joy of genuine connection. Mirza's relentless pursuit of excellence consistently delivers memorable dining moments. If I could move in, I would. You get fine dining, a cultural experience and family all in one. Favourite restaurant by a silly ridiculous landline.

Reservations suggested. We booked ahead of time, went with another couple, party of 4. There was standing room only for those waiting on a table. We love the food quality, the service was also top notch. It was our first visit, but strongly recommended by our local Brazilian friends. The market buffet was outstanding and always worth going through at least once prior to starting with all the meats. We'll be going back, having been to the competitors multiple times, this place has a more authentic feel. We chose outdoor dining, which does allow better table talk. There are patio heaters for those colder weeks in FL.
