We love going to Fogo de Chão. The service is usually 10/10 as well as the food. However last night the service was off. Took forever for them To bring the churrasco to the table, we eventually had to ask . ( yes we did have the the paper flipped to green). Then they took forever with my husbands Diet Coke but we got our cocktails fairly quickly. At then end it was like they were circling our table to leave but we weren’t ready to go. They gave us the wrong check. Just an off night for the service team. Food was wonderful

We were there to celebrate my mom‘s 69th birthday. Sometimes this is difficult when you have a large party. We had a party of 8 people, but Mya was on top of everything. For some of us, it was their first time and she explained everything so well. There were times where we wanted to try specific meats and she would have them sent to our table. She was attentive on refilling our drinks and made sure that everyone was well taken care of the entire time. Thank you, Mya for a great service. We will definitely be back.

I recently visited this restaurant and was highly disappointed. They had only opened a small section of the dining area, which meant all the tables were crammed together, leaving barely any room to walk. It felt uncomfortable and lacked any sense of privacy. As for the food, it was equally underwhelming. The steak was tough and overcooked—like trying to chew leather—and the flavors were bland at best. Overall, a poor experience. I won’t be returning anytime soon.

Brought my mother for a nice dinner. So not worth the price for what we got on the options or meats not a lot on the bar for sides. Espetus is the place to go for Brazilian steak house!!

I brought my husband and my kids to Fogo De Chou for my husband’s birthday last night. Our reservation was at 7:45pm. When I got there the hostess said “thanks for checking in. As you can see we are very crowded. I’ll let you know when we have seating”. This is obviously the antithesis of a reservation. I should have left..except it was already so late for dinner. Instead I raised my voice and demanded to speak with a manager..which took me out of the mood of celebration and into the mood of anger. This restaurant killed the entire celebratory vibe. It should not be trusted with anyone’s special days. If they want to run a cafeteria, charge cafeteria prices and make it first time first serve. But please do it charge $100/person, accept reservations and behave like a cafeteria. It was the absolute worst..

The server was phenomenal but the bar was extremely backed up so drinks were taking 30-45mins.
