We will never go back. The food is horrible as is the service. The wine list is lacking in all areas as well. We had to ask for drink multiple times and never received cheese bread. The restaurant also lacked experienced staff at the front door, The hostess was very unpolite. Horrible experience!!!

Not as Good as Before???

I used to go to Fogo all the time. After a short hiatus, it seems that the menu has changed for the worse. The salad bar is watered down and they have removed several meat items from the offering; most noteably the chicken items. When I asked the server, he replied that they only have 2 chicken items now instead of 4. Be prepared to spend at least $75 - $100 per person after drinks and desserts are included. Service was excellent.

I have never been trated so greatly at a restaurant before! Granted a little pricy but well worth it if you wnat to treat yourself. But make sure you haven't eaten for a while before going! Everything is great, the experiance of servers bringin you the food and selecting anything you want. Last time I went I wanted the pork tenderloin with parmesean (A MUST TRY!). the server informed me that they were making some more and sure enough as soon as it was ready it was brought to me first! Now that's waht I call service! You definately have to experiance Fogo!

its a bit late but i went with my guy on valentines day. they sat us pretty fast with reservation. the waiter was very helpful and told me everything i need to know since it was my first time. the wine was amazing! and the food was very good. i do admit it is a bit pricey! but i would go once maybe twice a year for a special occasion.

Great Tourist Place

I went to this steakhouse when i had my team of out of town co workers come in. Since they were not from the city they had never been to an all you can eat Brazilian steakhouse and they loved it, they were big meat eaters. I loved the salad bar but I don't think that i would go back again because I didnt think that it was worth the amount of money that you have to spend on the meal compared to what I ate. The ambience was very nice I must say. I would suggest this place for a group of hungry men that just want to eat a ton of steak or out of towners that would like to experience a Brazilian steak house.

everyone who enjoys meat should go to fogo sometime....don't eat before...drink water instead...don't fill up at the salad bar or table extras...ask for medium rare meat...do try the parmesan pork and filet...do not try the sausage...take your time and talk with people...

Excellent

To celebrate Mother's Day my mother,aunt,grandmother, and I decided to try Fogo De Chao and it was by far the best all-you-can-eat buffet I've been to. Due to it being a holiday the place was busy with large crowds, but the staff and service was well worth the drive. We give Fogo De Chao 5 STARS!!

Dee-eee-lish!

I finally got myself to Fogo and was not impressed. The salad bar was not labeled at all and I had no clue what I was eating. While the service was acceptable, the meats were very overcooked and dry. Dirty plates sat at my table for a while piling up.
I do not understand why people have said that Fogo is SO amazing. I did not find that to be the case.

Excellent every time!
