Super disappointed since the place was closed. It took quite a bit of searching to realize they are closed and looking to relocate. It should have been listed more prominently.

I'm from Seattle and not familiar with the area. Took my daughter who is a HUGE Fogo de Chao fan and we all thought the food and service was excellent! We will go back k again since she and her family live in Round Rock. Plenty of parking, great ambiance, comfortable, tender juicy meats and a great salad and food bar!

Exquisite flavors and thoughtful service. Try this restaurant for a great taste experience. My wife and I really enjoyed our evening together at Fogueira Gaucha Brazilian Steakhouse.Both the market table and the meat carvers offer wide selection of flavors

This will forever be one of my favorite places in Round Rock! The food is always good and the folks working are always nice. The salad bar is excellent, the caipirinhas are amazing, and the special cheesecake might be my most favorite dessert on the planet.

I went to Fogueira Gaúcha on the recommendation of a Brazilian friend. Boy - was the experience disappointing. It actually started even before we arrived - when we got a text prior to our arrival time that our table is waiting. So even before arriving (and our scheduled reservation time) we're already hurried to move. When we arrived, we were quickly seated and the waiter showed up immediately and offered us bottled water. We politely asked for tap water, which wasn't even offered as an option. We wanted to order wine - but our waiter disappeared, so we went to the salad bar. The selection seemed more extensive and varied than other Rodizios we've been to. We picked a few of the options including the Wedge Salad and the mozzarella and tomatoes. They turned out to look much better than they tasted. As we returned to our table and meat started arriving - our waiter was still nowhere to be found. After 15 minutes when he did bother to show up - I told him we'll have none. The meat that was served varied in quality - The Top Sirloin was good, Bottom sirloin and chicken legs were both decent, the fillet mignon was below average (it didn't even taste like fillet mignon) and the lamb and chicken hearts were both smothered with what tasted like chili flakes which made them inedible, and you couldn't taste the meat at all. This was a huge disappointment. Another annoyance was we were never given the list of meats and some never made it to our table. I did remember some from the list we saw on the website, and they only arrived after I explicitly asked for them by name. Finally, once we were done - we were left for 20 minutes until someone noticed. We asked for the dessert menu. We received a single menu for dessert - to share. This really annoyed me - so I flagged a waiter and asked for the check. Needless to say - refills on our water were nonexistent. When I got the check I found that we were also charged a 20% mandatory service charge for the abysmal service. No wonder - because they certainly don't deserve that. but to top off, when we got the receipt, it turned out the expected another 20% tip. I'll attach my receipt to this review. So paying a 40% tip for horrible service? Needless to say, I turned that down. I expect most people that come don't scrutinize their check and would pay a 40% tip. The waiter certainly didn't mention they tacked a mandatory 20% service charge. Summing up: Mediocre food, abysmal service, and insane pricing. Considering the many other Brazilian Rodizios in town (some of which I've been to) - this one seems like it's under the bottom of the barrel. This might shock the owners, but I won't be back.

My wife, son and I were sick after eating here.For my son's and my birthday we always go to a Brazilian steakhouse big chain. We noticed closer to our home it seemed like there was a nice Brazilian steakhouse so we chose to check it out this year instead of the big chain.Honestly, the food tasted fine, but we all ate something that made us sick and kept us up all night long. So, I can't give this place more than one star. Especially a place that we spent well over $150 per person. Which seemed more expensive, but cost are going up all over.The staff was extremely nice and on point to make sure everyone was taken care of which was fantastic. My rating in no way was reflection on the wait staff's performance.The atmosphere was fine, I would not say anything special, it was kind of strange to see a steakhouse in a shopping strip but not a big deal to me.We do not plan to come back.

Usually I go to estancia but I wanted to start new and positive traditions now that I'm married. My husband and u celebrated our first anniversary and we also celebrated me having a safe pregnancy so far. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be back.
Great meal and service. The one thing that did go amiss was that we were charged for two $99 bottles of wine when we had one $59 bottle. We brought this to the attention of one of the servers who immediately recognized the error and talked to another server to get it fixed. The bill was quickly recalculated, but such a large error was surprising, and if we hadn't been looking closely, it would have been an extra $150 plus tax and tip. This was a special occasion dinner and was not a great end to the meal.

Not the best selection on the salad bar that I've seen at other establishments like this. The food was served hot and quickly. The staff were all wonderful and attentive.
