The food and service is always great. My only complaint is that temperature of the restaurant is way too warm for us. It’s hard to enjoy your meal when you’re melting. 🫠

About the restaurant

At Meehan's Chophouse delicious food and gracious hospitality combine to create one of DFW's best dining experiences. So much more than a steakhouse, at Meehan's, guests can indulge in prime steak and fresh seafood cooked to perfection, treat themselves to an innovative, classically-focused cocktail, or discover new and exciting wines from the thoughtfully curated wine list. A perfect end of the night can be found next door at Henry's Cigar Lounge where the right cigar can be paired with a night cap making for a spectacular end to the afternoon or evening.

Having trouble finding the reservation time you are looking for? Give us a call and let our hosts explore additional seating options with you. We have a 15 minute grace period on all reservations

Parties of 8 or more, please call 817-225-2341 or email host-station@meehanschophouse.com to reserve a table

At dinner service we offer complimentary valet.

Good food but server had a bad attitude and seemed like she was bothered being there. Not too many people there so they may be struggling. Kinda chilly inside and when we asked to turn up the heat, they said they couldn’t because of the wine?

Brazilian Steakhouse

Arlington

About the restaurant

Chamas do Brazil, which means “Flames of Brazil,” is an authentic Brazilian Steakhouse. Our special meat roasting method is based on the old gaucho tradition from several centuries ago, known as churrasco. Churrasco was originated in Southern Brazil, where Gauchos (Brazilian Cowboys) pierced different types of meat and grilled them over open flamed pits. The concept is to serve a wide variety of different cuts of beef, lamb, pork, and chicken to each diner individually right at their table.

A meal typically begins with a trip to our amazing salad bar, which consist of over 60 different items of fresh vegetables, homemade dressings, imported cheeses, cured meat, and etc., along with several hot dishes. We also serve a selection of side dishes at your table. The main course will start when you flip your coaster-sized chip from the red side to the green side, signaling the Gaucho Chefs that you’re ready to be served. To stop the service of meat, flip the chip to the red side.

We have eaten here before- and the service aspect has definitely improved! Ambience and attention to our meal was top-notch. The meat was well-cooked and delivered to our table in an expert fashion. Our waiter was excellent and could not have been more attentive. Good food, great service, awesome value- highly recommend!
