Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse Reviews

We had the opportunity to celebrate our Christmas lunch for 10 people in this wonderful place!! The ENTIRE experience was wonderful. A+ for the valet parking service - Hosts - Bartenders - waiters - chefs and the prices.... fair and rewarding!!! Highly recommend and thank you for the hospitality :0)

Perfect place to celebrate birthday #70. Good food for meat eaters. Great salad bar. Doting service. Loved it!

I have been to other Brazilian Steakhouse restaurants but the quality of the food and the service was truly unforgettable. The attentiveness of the staff was excellent the quality of the food was really good. The desserts were out of this world.

The Skewers of meats caravanning to the table was just as expected. Fantastic cuts of meat. There was very delicious waffles and candied bacon on the buffet. However, considering it was 11:00 brunch, there was very little breakfast related items on the buffet bar. In fact, waffles and the candied bacon were the only typical breakfast items. There was a omelette station for made to order, but I did not observe a cook there while I was there. All in all, great food as usual, but I wouldn’t plan for brunch there again.

Very good service, and Anderson was a good help, gentle and efficient. My wife and I enjoyed our dinner very much. R. Rutt

My husband and I ate here for Sunday dinner. I had heard of this place, but we've never tried it until today. We both made sure not to eat much prior to our reservation, because we both wanted to be able to really enjoy our experience. Our waiter Anthony was very helpful with me trying to decide what glass of wine to have with dinner. He thoroughly explained the Fogo dining experience, and we got started. The salad bar (really a full meal in it's self) was amazing, everything you could want and more. Then the meat started coming, and a side of bread, garlic mashed potato's, fried plantains and fried pollenta were brought to the table. Everything was fabulous. I think I ate myself into a stupor..This is not a place one goes to monthly as it's not good for the waistline, but as a special occasion place it's a must do.

This was my first time here , my friends brought me here for my birthday, Dylan the CSR was amazing in making this first experience amazing! He is an awesome person who should be in management, he’s friendly and mingles with customers making you feel welcome and definitely coming back and telling others of this experience and thanks again Dylan !

If you like the Brazilian Steakhouse with the Gaucho's coming by Table Side this NEW LOCATION of this old trusted Steakhouse is right up your alley. We had reservations for 4, arrived 30 minutes late due to Dallas traffic. After a short visit to the Bar area, where we were greeted by a Portuguese Speaking Lady, who carried on quite a conversation with 2 of our party we were quickly shown to our table. THEN THE FUN BEGAN. Turn over your little cardboard coaster to GREEN and the Gaucho's start coming with Meat. ALL kinds of meat, Beef, Chicken, Pork, LAMB and more BEEF cooked like you like it. They shave off as much as you want of of anything TILL you turn your Coaster to RED. Salad Bar even has nice sushi. Get your own black Beans and a special kind of Brazilian Rice, plus small bite size Cheesy Rolls that put "chedder bay biscuits to shame. Real mashed Potatoes brought in small batches, and so much more a can hardly remember all of the top notch items. Will we be back? Yes, Will we skip lunch that day? Yes. Service was outstanding and they have a valet that only charges $8. WE can't wait till next month. Birthday meal fit for Royalty.

I took my husband here for this birthday and he LOVED IT!!! The staff was very nice and they treated us very special. It is a lot of food, especially a lot of meat. I am not that much of a meat eater. Don't get me wrong I do eat meat but it was a little to much for me. I think next time I will order fish or just get the salad bar, which the salad bar is too die for...so good!!

WOW, a neat experience, start with the salad bar, then just sit and be served with a multitude of delicious meats at your table, finish off with a great deserts..... food was fab, service was great, atmosphere was wonderful....

This was our first time at Fogo's and it was awesome. From the moment we walked in to the time we left everyone had a great time, the service was second to none and the food was great. The different cuts of meats that we got were great and the servers asked how we wanted our meats cooked. At other Brazilian steakhouses that we have visited we got a lot of sirloin but much of other cuts of meat. Not here, they served lamb chops, ribeye steak multiple times at our table. If you asked for a certain type of meat it was brought out to you immediately. Between the food and service we had an amazing time. A plus rating.

We made reservations on Valentine's weekend for 6. The servers were very nice. However the wait for the meats to come around was unacceptable. Several time we asked would they be coming back around which, in a restaurant such as this should never happen. Not one time did we have to turn our card over to red. We could have gotten more steak (especially) had we gone to a restaurant and paid $60 a steak. Will not be back. (We have visited the same restaurant in Houston TX so we are familiar with the way it should operate)

Fogo Uptown is a great place! Truly enjoyed the full experience! Service was incredible! Management and team made me really feel welcomed

Came here several times for business dinners. The service is excellent. The meat is delicious. The salad bar is outstanding. The little rolls are so soft and doughy. I love them so much! This is all you can eat. Bring your appetite. Delicious and recommended.

Love the food, meat, steak and the salad bar! Service is good and staff is friendly. Make sure you’re hungry when you go there as you will have a big selection of meat!

Just had a wonderful evening at the great new location. The fresh meats served we seasoned and prepared perfectly. The waiters/waitresses were all great. Always checking in if we needed anything else. The bar service was also great. A very pleasurable evening for great food and dinner conversation.

Nothing was terrible, somethings were poor(hit n miss service) and somethings managed an ‘OK’ (the food). Wasn’t as good as I remember my last visit in Orlando, but it rated overall a 7/10. The filet wrapped in bacon was a very poor quality of filet. The best meat cuts were the ones that found their way past our table the fewest times. Drinks took a long time to arrive and we were not seated until 20 minutes after our reservation time. Again, not a disaster, but not worth the $180 inc. tip.

Jose M. Best service! We brought our team to dinner and he was attentive to all . First visit for most of us. Highly recommend. The salad bar is amazing!! We will be back!

Great experience for our Thanksgiving Dinner with my mom. Dionnta Davis was the customer service representative assigned to our area and he was phenomenal. Mr. Davis stepped in when we needed help getting my mom the beef rib which was taking a very long time. It's her favorite! Our original waiter was a young man that tried but needs to be a little more on top of it. The filet mignon and garlic steak were delicious as well as the salad bar. The restaurant was decorated beautifully for the holidays. I do suggest making a reservation. We only waited a few minutes for our table to be ready. Thank you for a great place to have Thanksgiving dinner.

I went to several locations But the Dallas Uptown is my favorite Great service Is definitely the best place for family or business lunch!

Great food, great bar, great service!! Bartenders are the best and even made us their own special drink that was amazing.

The new Fogo de Chao location is a great experience. The new location on McKinney Avenue is beautiful and the service is top notch. There are several staff circulating who are extremely attentive. Regarding the food options, there is an option for Market Table (salad bar) only or the Market Table plus as much as you can eat meats. In the past when I have gone to Brazilian Steak Houses I have always had the endless meat options. On the most recent occasion at Fogo de Chao I had only the Market Table option which I found to be fantastic! In addition to the typical salads, also available are cold smoked salmon, a wonderful assortment of cheeses, delicious variety of imported cured meats including salami, prosciutto as well as the black bean stew with meat (feijoada) served over white rice. Also included in your meal are wonderful sides brought to your table like garlic mashed potatoes, caramelized bananas and warm, soft cheesy bread rolls (pão de queijo). I thought there was plenty of food to eat with the Market Table option and the price for this option is very reasonable (compared to the pricey endless meat option).

We were in town for a work event and were taken to Fogo de Chao for dinner. The service, the food....fantastic.

The servers and the rest of the staff provided great customer service. The food was fantastic and the staff made sure our table was always attended. What an amazing place to have dinner.

We had a great time celebrating 4th of July. Andy was awesome. Very attentive, professional and friendly. The food was delicious!

Prompt service and great attitudes! Thank you so much Hanna and Britten for taking care of us! We had a wonderful time here!!!

We had the best time! Incredible food and great service! The atmosphere is very pleasing and friendly Look for Emerson, he is the best :)

We are regular patrons of the chain and we visit the Adison location. We were in Dallas and tried this location. The server was prompt and knowledgeable. The salad selection was sub par and the frequency of gauchos was super slow. Drinks took a very long time also for a slow Sunday morning. We will not visit this location again.

This was my first visit and it was a fantastic experience from the moment we walked in. The buffet is fresh and tasty! Then the great part is the servers that come and bring the meats and slice them based on your liking (chicken, pork, sausage, beef). Great experience and will be a favorite for many years to come!

Good selection, but the salad bar has deteriorated. They use do have a great selection but now they are just like any where else that has a high end salad bar. Really enjoyed the pao de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread), but really this is too much meat for anyone for one meal.

Recommend this place for anyone celebrating a special occasion. Delicious steaks, great service, and nice atmosphere. A bit on the higher end for buffet but well worth the price if you love to eat quality meat. Do come hungry so you can get your money’s worth.

Our server/waitress, Caroline, was the most well versed server I have experienced in years. Her knowledge of the menu and wines, and desserts were unbelievable. She constantly looked out after our needs but more importantly her knowledge of all menu items was terrific. Extremely pleased. It was obvious she was well trained and her positive attitude and professionalism was absolutely fantastic. Hats off to this location. I will not only recommend this location but plan on re-visiting when I'm back in town.

The food was amazing the service was phenomenal and the experience was a great experience. The food was worth every penny. Customer service was 10 stars. I loved all of the meats. I cant think of a con.

We took 80 people for a dinner together in the back room. Service was superb, food was great as always. Tremendous environment to interact. I was on a diet, so made it a bit frustrating, but there was plenty of good lean meat.

Another wonderful Fogo experience! As usual, the staff are attentive throughout and always eager to ensure you are getting all the cuts of meat you want. They also communicate between each other to ensure that all waiters know how you like you meat cooked so you don’t have to keep telling them! The meat itself is beautifully seasoned and cooked. When done rare, the meat really melts in the mouth! The table of sides was plentifully stocked with a large enough range to suit all palettes. Don’t be afraid to ‘no’ to the waiters every so often as otherwise you’ll have a mound of meat on your plate in no time. Fogo is a little pricey but, when you think about the amount of excellent quality meat you receive, you realise that it is worth every penny!

Went last night and had fish instead of the all you can eat meat extravaganza. My wife had the salmon and I had the chilean sea bass. Both were incredible. We ordered a more expensive bottle of wine than we normally do but to our happy surprise it was half the price we expected. Apparently they have a limited time promotion offering certain wines at half price. Very nice surprise for us when we got our bill. Service was exceptional especially from Hoa. He was very helpful in recommendations. Will definitely return.

I've been many times at Fogo and every time it's an excellent surprise and experience. Great food and service. The best

The service is excellent and the food is good, above average. The downside of the food is the feijoada, which is nat really a traditional Brazilian feijoada, but just meat and beans.

Needs new management. It had been one of the best Fogo locations. Now it’s flailing and full of excuses. Street was blocked to get in. Valet was understaffed, couldn’t get parked and into restaurant at 5pm. (early) The dinner started off fine, then a big party got seated in the side room. Service on the main floor came to a complete halt. No cheese bread for 35 min. excuse? “we are out”. Saturday at 6:00pm and they have run out? not acceptable. The gauchos disappeared from main floor, neglecting meat service, seemingly focused on the party room. Asked for the manager. He arrived, when asked about what was going on, he is was defensive and arrogant. His restaurant is failing at its main function and he says, “i’m trying, nothing i can do right this minute. we’re trying. “ Disgusted we paid and left. Consumers: Pick a different Fogo location. Or Texas de Brasil is nearby. Don’t reward a smug, bad management. corporate: INTERVENE…, get new management, not a helpless bystander. When booking large groups. staff for it. Ripping off regular customers to cater the champaign glitter crowd will ruin your business.

The food was really good a whole lot of meat ! But next time I'll do the saladI'll!! The service was good and the food was all top notch.But on the Landry website they say as a older person I was to get ten% off my bill with my AARP card.. Now I was going to add the.savings to my tip I already gave 25% . Either they don't know how to run the bill or its false advertising that rubbed me the wrong way.Aside from that we enjoyed this place .I recommend. Even tho because of the bill I will never go back!!!

This is an upscale place to eat. Come ready to eat lots of fantastic meats. The trick is to take only a very small amount from the salad bar and then when the meet comes, ask for only a small slice. That way you can try them all over and over again, all hot and ready to eat.

We came here for my daughter's birthday. I chose the brunch so that potentially everyone would have options, breakfast and non-breakfast food. I was disappointed early. The omelets were razor thin and rubbery. No fluffy eggs here. They were brought to our table after a pretty good wait. The "belgian waffles" were the size of your palm and hard. The potatoes and meat (pork sausage?) that were stationed alongside the waffles were never replenished even though brunch ended at 2 and it was only 1:00. For the price, I basically paid for a plate of salad and cold maple bacon bits from the salad bar. The only saving grace was the fact that I was able to use two birthday discount coupons and the service. I would recommend Texas de Brazil or Estilo Gaucho instead. I will not return here.

I attended Fogo de Chao for a very large business event and was very satisfied. The staff is tremendous because they anticipate diner's needs and fulfill them. There is a gigantic well appointed salad bar. And of course they bring around many spits of food throughout the night until you tell them to stop by turning over your food coaster. I have no idea how much the food costs because I did not pay.

It expected more from this place but it was ok. The staff were good and very customer oriented. I just felt like for the price there would have been a better selection and more to choose from. Not a bad restaurant just expected more.

Every time we come to Fogo we always have a great time! The atmosphere, food and service is always great! We received great service from both Juanna and Aliyah they both did an outstanding job!! The Dallas location!!

This place does meat and does if big time...waiters swirling around with meat in a stick that they carve onto your plate. Fun and filing, not a cheap meal.

So I stopped here on Ash Wednesday because the website described the primarily vegetarian Market Table that you could order without the meat courses. When I ordered a glass of iced tea, the waitress seemed a tad distraught that I wasn't ordering alcohol. Then when I only wanted the Market Table, she just couldn't understand why I wasn't getting the full meal. I explained to her it was a religious thing, but she just didn't get it. Then she disappeared for the most part. Luckily other servers checked in on me, refilled my iced tea and brought me my check when I was finished. Anyways, the market table was delcious! What a great selection of tasty salads, veggies, cheeses, and other dishes. While I love all the meats served by the roaming servers, I had more than enough to eat from the market table. I would go back for just the market table if I wasn't super hungry or just wanted a mostly vegetarian dinner. I just hope the next time I get a server who understands that not everybody drinks alcohol or wants the entire package!

As Brazilian have visited many Churrascarias in the world and I can say, this one serves the worst Churrasco ever tried before. At Lunch time they don't bother much with quality and serving remaining from previous day dinner; dry and overcooked beef and even re-fried polenta/platano and other stuff.. I have been in the other branch in Addison and quality much better, cannot compare. really not recommended..

Wonderful dinner at Fogo de Chao. The salad bar is amazing but you have to pace yourself because once the meat starts coming, you want everything! The variations amazing and are too many to mention, but we especially loved the bacon wrapped chicken, bacon wrapped filet and garlic sirloin. The chimmichurri sauce is out of this perfect (just like I make it).

Came for our anniversary and Sadikshya made us very comfortable and relaxed as we had our first experience here, definitely plan to come back

Superb service. A variety of food to suit most. There was a hot buffet with rice, sweet potato casserole, butternut squash and potato soup, etc. and a cold buffet with salads, cheeses and cold meat slices, etc. As well, polenta & bananas, mashed potatoes were delivered to the table. As long as the "Yes Please" coaster was displayed, the Gauchos offered 13 different cuts or styles of beef, lamb, pork, chicken, sausage Strawberry Cream with Cassiss Liqueur for dessert. All very nice. Great for couples, families and groups.

Fogo de Chao in uptown Dallas is a new restaurant (opened in 2017) but the team is excellent, service and decor very nice. Traditional Brazilian salad bar, all fantastic steak cuts and excellent desserts. Cannot miss the excellent Picanha cut, and the papaya cream dessert is a must. Very good wine carte and a excellent bar, where you can have the real Brazilian caipirinhas with the original Brazilian rum (cachaca). A must for family, friends and couples.

Been to several Brazilian steakhouses and for the amount of money we spent here it definitely was not the best. They did not serve the good cuts of meat. They were pushing sirloin, pork chops, chicken and sausages. There were no tenderloins, rib eyes, or briskets. We had to request for lamb chops as they were just offering us leg of lamb. The salad bar was good but not spectacular. Service was slow.

Lunch at Fogo de Chao was great. After we requested a certain type of meat cooked medium well vs the medium rare, we had a Gaucho assigned to us. Perhaps not officially assigned to us, but Jackson understood which meat we loved and how we liked it prepared. He would check on us and ask if we desired more meat. We did come at lunch time so he had the time to treat us special and we enjoyed that. The manager came over several times to check on us and we had numerous wait staff helping with food selections, clean plates and checking on us. The huge market table had salads, vegetables, soup, rice, some salads with meat and could have been sufficient for a meal. But the variety of meats being cut at your table is the Fogo experience and worth it. Valet parking is available from a side street, Routh street. Limited parking on the side streets.

Excellent food and excellent service! We. Had a great time! Will be back every time we are in Dallas! Loved the ribeye, bicaniah, tenderloin and lambchops!

From the moment I walk in until the moment I left it was a really bad experience! Meat dos not have taste! No vinagrete ! Really?? No rice farofa horrible ! The salad table almost empty.! I have been eating in unbranded churrasqueira with way better food and cost benefits. I was under the impression that Dallas could offer a different experience, but I was completely wrong ! Very sad ! I do not recommend this place for anyone ! Banana taste green 🤢😵‍💫 Sorry. Enough

We have been Fogo de Chao clients for many years, but we have never had this bad of an experience. We made a reservation for 11 people at 8:30pm to celebrate our son's college graduation. It took more than an hour for them to give us our table, the server rarely came around after we ordered our drinks, some of the cuts were overcooked, and they took forever in bringing out the desserts after we ordered them. I contacted them directly to express our disappointment, and nobody has reached out.

Late mid week in Dallas its hard to find somewhere thats open. I have been to this place in other cities, so we went. The salad bar is excellent, but stay away from it. You will be presented with some of the most delicious cuts of meat, cooked to perfection for as long as you can take it. It's a great concept. The kids loved it. We loved it. Its upmarket service, but remains relaxed and friendly. We would eat here every day if we could afford it.

We attended a company Christmas party at this restaurant and it became obvious that my palate was not comparable to this cuisine. For them to grill at the high temperature means the meat is cooked on the outside and virtually raw inside. Sugar and salt appear to be the only seasoning and you are constantly inundated with their gaucho chefs trying to offer you what they have on their skewers. The seafood appetizer was good with a combination of shrimp, lobster tail, and crab. This was the only saving grace for me. Finally, do not expect anything better than what yo would get from the WalMart freezer if you order the key lime pie. For more than $80 per person I expected much more and I especially expected flavor. I’m sure this fits what many want but if you are looking for meat that is seasoned with more than salt you will be happier somewhere else.

First things first – they cook their meat over a gas flame - so not yummy smoky flavor. Nor do they marinate their meat before cooking - so no “spicy” flavor. They salt it, then cook it. No problem if you are using amazing meat, but this was less-than-amazing. In order to achieve “flavor” I felt compelled to liberally douse the meat with chimichurri & horseradish sauce. Fine at Chili’s for $12 a steak, but I expect more from a baseline $53 meal. Now, the “Market Table” was well equipped with good smoked salmon, cheeses and salads. I would forego the $53 “Experience” and go with the $30ish Market Table only. The caipirinha was good! The wine selection is good but a 300% mark-up (as opposed to the usual 200% of other restaurants) - $50 for a bottle of J Lohr Cabernet you can get at Tom Thumb for $13 I had hoped I’d get to practice my Portuguese, I did not. However, I did get to practice my Spanish, which is a close second.

My friends and I we decided to try this location and we were sorry we did. The server did not payed attention to our requests, had to wait more than 30 minutes for some mashed potatoes and 15 minutes for another beer. Never again this location. If you want best service and great ambiance go Plano location!

was there with large group for lunch. very impressive market table, very professional and courteous staff, and the food was spectacular!!

Attractive space, excellent waitstaff and service. The $53 special will rapidly approach $100 a person after a glass of wine, dessert, coffee and tip The salad bar is attractive and extensive, but fairly tasteless. The servers with meat on skewers are ever present, but are delivering poor cuts of extremely heavily salted meats The dessert menu is extensive, the desserts attractive, but again are tasteless Could be a great restaurant if they hired a chef who could produce food that tastes good

Please, this chain restaurant was terrible in almost every sense. The salad bar is prone to sneezing, coughing and spray, the meats came cold, just a terrible place.

The best Fogo de Chao I ever been. And I am a Brazilian! Great service, meat perfection, salad bar perfect - friendly staff (Brazilians there, which gives authenticity to the service). For lunch or dinner, small or big parties, no problems, no issues, no regrets. Go for multiple rounds of Picanha!

A huge disappointment. The food was just OK. The service was terrible. Not once did our table get cleaned. I had to ask the waitress to clear the dishes as they were starting to stack up. There were no bussers anywhere. The meat servers came by infrequently and then didn't pay attention to the medallions saying go or stop. The waitress seemed clueless and wasn't sure what a Pinot Noir was. A marginally friendly greeting by the host, but then no explanations unless we asked questions, even though we said it was our first time. We had to beg for a dessert menu, then were never offered coffee. There was no evidence of any manager at any time. Probably a good thing because they would have received an earful.

Overall good experience but took many requests and quite a long time to get a filet. Seems like they like to bring the filler steaks around but not the premium ones. Not so at the one in Buckhead, Atlanta, GA....they will just bring you that if requested.

My wife and I came here to celebrate our 10th Anniversary and had a great experience!! The service was top notch, and I believe a manager came past several times to make sure we had been well taken care of and had tried all the cuts of meat we wanted.. This is all you can eat meat with a very well appointed salad bar with fresh meats and cheeses. After dinner the waitress asked what the occasion was and when she found out it was an anniversary dinner we received a complimentary dessert. We chose the carmelized pineapple served with ice cream and it was superb! All in all an excellent experience!! Well worth the experience!! Thanks Fogo de Chao!!

Went with a party of 12 for a birthday dinner and experience was horrible. It took over a hour to be seated and that’s with reservations. Then they did not bring us any cuts of meat for 45 minutes. Asked for medium well and kept getting super rare. The wait staff were not helpful and the manager kept promising us food to receive nothing. Drinks ordered were given to the wrong people. I would never come back and this was a horrible awful experience. Book some place else.

It’s great for a spot for you and your friends to hang out and chill!! The energy is very welcoming and just gives you sense of home.

We absolutely love this place!! We always go to Fogo de Chao where ever we travel. Like always service, food and atmosphere is great. Went during Lunch time for the first time. Much cheaper than dinner, but food was still excellent!

I know many restaurants of the Fogo de Chao group in Brazil and USA: The Dallas restaurant is beside of the Las Vegas branch one of my favorite all-you-can-eat style Rodizio steak houses in USA for enjoying of excellent meat cuts. The well assorted salad bar with farmland specialties, charcuterie, cheeses and many other brined, marinated and roasted delicacies is delivering best ingredients for a mixed appetizer plate. The service staff is very attentive and amiable. Waiter Vitaly fulfilled my special request for rare meat and the different meat cuts have been juicy and tender. All pieces of the fire roasted, well-seasoned and perfect on skewer served Picanha (prime part of the top sirloin), Filet Mignon (beef tenderloin), Alcatra (top sirloin), Fraldinha (bottom sirloin) and Beef Ancho (rib eye) cuts had a fine texture and have been flavorful. The courses are served right off the cooking spit and are sliced or plated right at the table. They are accompanied with garlic-mashed potatoes and Chimichurri sauce. The Caipirinha made with in-house Silver Cachaça together with a few glasses of quaffable Revolver Blood & Honey craft beer have been ideal for food pairing. As usual, after the excessive meat consumption a cask aged Fogo de Chao Gold Cachaça together with a double espresso finalized a very pleasant rodizio style dinner in a perfect manner. A visit of the Fogo de Chao restaurant is always worth and a must.

Great experience with my son as this was his first time! He was so impressed with the excellent service of the staff and the flavor of each bite. An experience he’ll not soon forget! Natalie, our server was superb!!

What you would expect for $50 a person. Come during lunch and it is not as expensive, but it is the same quality. Don't waste too much time with the "salad bar." Your stomach can only hold so much and you need to save it for the meat. My favorite cut is the medium rare ribeye.
