"There are now a lot of "Brazilian steakhouses," but Fogo actually began in Brazil, and is the best of all similar chains. You definitely will not leave hungry. Nor will you go long with an empty plate, as long as you're showing your green button."

"Another Brazilian steak house chain with excellent service and good food. I had just the salad bar for $25 which is extensive and includes some pricey items like an entire wheel of Parmesan cheese, beautiful asparagus spears, hearts of palm, and smoked salmon along with the usual salad bar veggies. There were also a few hot items, rice, beans and roasted new potatoes. My husband had the full dinner for $45 and the meat, in particular the beef, was excellent as was the lamb. The pork was so-so. The meat kept coming and there was quite a variety, from sirloin to rib eye to two kinds of filet mignon. We also had a couple of glasses of pinot noir at $12 ea. It was a very good dinner."

"This was our first visit to Fogo de Chao and I know we will be back! Food and service were excellent. Meats were prepared beautifully to all different temperatures (rare, medium, etc.)to please everyone and were deliciously seasoned. They had a nice variety of meats. The leg of lamb with lemon and pepper was one of my favorites, along with their specialty sirloin, picanha. I would forgo the overpriced desserts, but my daughter loved the Tres Leches cake. It was a big enough piece to share with everyone!"

"After having dined at the same restaurant in Boston, this Fogo was VERY DISAPPOINTING. The quality of the meat was inconsistent... and not nearly as flavorful as the restaurant in Boston... overall...I would not return to this location... I would try the Texas de Brazil, which I have been to before, and was excellent!!!"

"The food is obviously the primary reason for going, but the service is absolutely outstanding!! You never feel out-of-place to ask anyone for anything, as it is definitely a group effort with the serving staff. They made us feel very welcome, and brought a nice dessert as a low-key birthday treat. A great evening!"

"I have eaten at many fine restaurants in my travels and can say without a doubt that Fogo de Chao is the best. It sets the bar for Brazilian steakhouses, no one else even comes close. I have enjoyed Fogo de Chao many times at several locations and have always experienced great food, service, and ambiance."

"I'm a local so I bounce between Texas de brazil and here. Texas has more variety and better tasting food. Texas has sauces like chimichuri etc... However the service at fogo kept me coming back. This is the first time service was not on point. Main waiter struggled and assumed I didn't want bottled water when I ordered wine by the glass. He was wrong. However, the back wait with the red tie was on point. This time no California rolls on the salad bar. The mini rolls on the table were overcooked. The meats were perfect! I'll write it as a one off, but please more variety and sauces for the meats."

"Went on Valentine's Day for a Birthday celebration for the first time and had a wonderful experience. The service was excellent, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. We will definitely visit again! Some meats were a little salty for some of our parties taste, but we all ate until we were completely stuffed. We all look forward to dining here again."
