Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse

Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The garlic sirloin and lamb chops were the best meats. The variety of sides weren't that good and limited options. We were served the same meats in rotation for most of the meal, and it wasn't until later that they started bringing out a variety of different options. The service was also subpar — our waitress took a long time to bring our drinks, and we barely saw her throughout the meal. For the price we paid, both the food and service fell short of expectations. I don't plan on returning.

Unfortunately our meal wasn't as expected. Our server was attentive but they were short staffed and the meat was not coming out as needed or desired. We waited upwards of 15mins between the next cuts.

Also the meats were over cooked and selection was very limited.

When they finally pushed we got better service.

It's too bad as I have been at other locations and no issues even with large crowds.

Second time here and it wasn't the best. We got the full experience with all the meats and only about 8 came to our table with the rest circulating being the same thing. I asked for the cheese and honey 4 times and the waiter said yeah it usually comes out every 10 mins and it never came our way. I'll pass on going back.

The food was spectacular. The customer service was out of this world our server clemepelia was very sweet and all of the staff was attentive and on point.

Super service, very friendly staff. The food excellent. It does not have valet but there is a parking lot very close and super accessible.

Kid-friendliness: It has options for minors and they explain the system to you.

Everything was good but we kept having to wait 30 minutes for drinks. It was very weird. Our server kept saying he would check and then come back to tell us he would check again. Not very happy about that but food was very good.

Absolutely fantastic food and service!! A big Thank You to Stone, who gave us such wonderful service and great tips - my husband's birthday meal was perfect and he enjoyed all his favorite meats and that incredible carmelized grilled pineapple. Also, much thanks to Fogo de Chao for sending the annual birthday coupon and the complimentary dessert. For those of us on a tight budget, coming here is a big splurge and the birthday email coupon made it a much easier choice. We really look forward to and enjoy this incredible meat feast and the great side dish bar! Top it off with awesome, attentive and friendly service and it's the best place to celebrate a special occasion!!

My friend Jessica told me that Fogo de Chao is a must. So on her advice I had dinner there last night. She was spot on. I was seated near the front entrance and was immediately attended to by Big Mike. He made some great recommendations. His favorite is now my favorite. You have to try the beef ribs!!! Tender and juicy. They just melted in my mouth.
Big Mikes service is impeccable. Extremely friendly and attentive. He continuously checked on me and brought any request that I had personally. The price is right. The food is delicious and the service is the best I've ever had. All the staff were very friendly but big Mike is the standout.

Painfully slow service. Multiple meats skipping over our table, drinks took 30 minutes to arrive, and about half the meats were over-cooked.

Loved everything we tried! Very friendly and accommodating waiters/ waitresses. They made sure we got everything we wanted and more. We went for lunch and felt it was a great value for the Churrasco experience. Would definitely recommend.
