   Service was poor, it was our first time and we were celebrating a birthday, felt excluded from everything, soups were ice cold, mash potatoes had a pound of salt, food wasn’t anything special. Everyone was forced to eat at separate times. Didn’t feel like we got to enjoy our meal together. Waiters didn’t explain things, took forever to bring anything we ordered. Just overall a mediocre experience. Not like anything we expected.

   Extremely slow service. The nicer cuts of meat never came out even after we requested them. We had waited at least 45 minutes at that point. Manager was friendly after we voiced our concerns, but the most of meats still didn’t make it out.

   I booked it for my son’s 16 birthday celebration. I mentioned it in booking, to the host, to the server and to the costumer service that I want to celebrate his birthday with a candle and I ordered 3 desserts to do so. The waiter shows up to bring only the pastries and no candle. He puts in on the table an leaves so indifferently. I asked for candles and they said they don’t have it. The customer service person comes to the table and says we just don’t have it. So indifferent so cold. For the price of 400 that I paid for four people I at least expected to celebrate my son‘s birthday for the reason that we went there. Altogether the service was slow and really low quality

   We enjoyed the food, the drinks and the dessert. It took some time to get our table even when we had reservations but once we were seated the service was fast and courteous with several people attending our table. It was a little pricey in my opinion but we had a good time. I think it’s better if you go when you’re really hungry or you go with people who eat a lot, like teenagers or athletes for example.

   The service could not have been worse. Even after complaining about not having drinks refilled and side dishes delivered, service remained terrible. There were no plates at the salad bar. The meat was brought around sporadically. We have been to several other Fogo’s in the area and will not return to this one. They need to hire more staff. The poor service overshadowed the good food. Edited to add, I contacted the website as instructed and got zero response

   Oh my gosh!!! Had our annual brunch with my favorite people who happen to be my favorite ex co-workers and top it off with delicious food was everything. The servers were very attentive, especially Zoe. She was the sweetest human ever. She was always coming by our table to check on us and making sure we had what we needed. This place is great to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries or just to catch up with friends. You can’t go wrong with Fogo de Chao.

   Not a good experience at all. The service was terrible. The atmosphere is terrible. The food was ok. I have no desire to ever go back.

    Outstanding service but the meat was tough and lacked taste. This was surprising because all other FdC I have been have good meat. But this one was terrible. Though, again, service was very good and everyone was nice. I was very surprised at the meat though.
