    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Texas de Brazil in Memphis, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment you walk through the door, you're enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality, enhanced by the rustic yet elegant decor. The quality of the food at Texas de Brazil is simply outstanding. The meat selection, a highlight of their churrascaria style, is unparalleled. Each cut, from the juicy lamb to the savory picanha, was cooked to perfection, showcasing the rich flavors of the grill. The variety of meats, all seasoned and prepared with care, ensured that every bite was a delight. The side dishes complemented the meats beautifully, with the cheese bread and the lobster brisquet standing out as personal favorites. The service was equally impressive, with servers who were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about the dining experience they were providing. They managed the continuous flow of meats with such grace, ensuring no one's plate was ever empty for long. The diligence and attentiveness of the staff made the dining experience seamless and enjoyable. What truly elevated our visit was the impressive leadership of the manager. Their presence was felt throughout the lunch, not just through their oversight but through their active engagement with both staff and guests. The manager's leadership was evident in the well-coordinated team and the smooth operation of the restaurant, despite being busy. They took the time to visit tables, ensuring customer satisfaction, and their passion for providing an excellent dining experience was infectious. In summary, Texas de Brazil in Memphis offers an exceptional dining experience characterized by high-quality food, diligent service, and exemplary management. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this is a must-try for anyone looking for a memorable meal.

    Amelia Gene’s is exactly what you’d expect from the first impression (for me, that was Instagram). I’d been wanting to visit since they opened last year, and they did not disappoint. Everyone was incredibly kind! I’ve never been to a restaurant that felt so much like being surrounded by my closest friends. They made my birthday unforgettable. A huge thank you to the entire team for their warmth and love. Memphis truly has a gem here! I hope they never stop being so gracious and exceptional. Southern Hospitality at it’s finest!
