    We had an awesome experience. It's a girls trip & this was our dinner spot. Nobody was disappointed. There are all sorts of options to choose from on the bar & the meat was melt in your mouth delicious. The staff is such a delight, you want for nothing. Our waiter was amazing, he took excellent care of us. Explained everything & he was right on target. You must experience this restaurant, you won't be disappointed.

    We came here this past Saturday night around 6pm. Not too crowded. We had a reservation. The service was not very good. Took forever to get our drinks. Waitress hardly came back to the table so we didn't order get to order many drinks (literally only one glass of wine the entire dinner). The steak and meat options were just ok. The price is good for unlimited options of steaks and other meats, but the flavor and quality was disappointing. No flavor. They also only have mashed potatoes as a side and two other options. Their salad and cheese bar was pretty small, limited options. If you are on a budget for steak, this is a good option. But if you want a great steak with good sides and service, I wouldn't recommend this place. There were 3 of us, we had two drinks, and our total came to $200 - I would have much rather went to Bob's Chop House or Capital Grill. Wouldn't recommend this place.

    Everything was absolutely Delicious...! High quality Steak House. The bacon wrapped chicken just melts in your mouth, it was so soft and juicy. Cooked to perfection. Well worth the money spent for the small celebration I had for my Husband. Thank you guys for such a Lovely evening. Can't wait to go back.

    I would highly recommend Fogo de Chao! Amazing food, great service. It made birthday so special! I've been to buffets before, this is so much more!! The food presentation is fantastic, the steaks are all delicious and the price is just right. You get A LOT of food! I want to send a special thank you to Tai who made our experience even better. We felt like family even though he just met us. Thank you for making my birthday so memorable!! We love you ❤

    This is one of our good finds in Austin. Nice and cozy place, it is. 😍 Food - 5/5 Lots of meat, meat and meat. There's a salad bar to clean your palate if you grew tired of the meat. For the meat, they have huge selection of it - rib-eye, wagyu, lamb, chicken. You name it, they have it. Service - 5/5 All the guests are pampered here. The waiters come to you and ask if you want to get a portion of what they're serving. It's buffet style but the food will come to you. Great experience! Atmosphere - 5/5 I have loved Austin. It's a silent city full of lovely people, and Fogo de Chao is not an exception! Cozy place, comfortable seating, and lovely restaurant.

    Fogo de Chao delivered on the promise of tasty grilled meats. The salad bar had a nice offering of fruits and vegetables to help cut through the heavy/fatty nature of the meats , which was welcome. I visited during lunch, which was a little busier then I would have expected. The service was good, but there were some items that took longer to come out to the table than what felt like normal. I'd still endorse checking them out. They offered us a complimentary dessert for my friends birthday, which was a nice cherry on top of the experience. Parking was a bit tricky. 12$ for the valet parking seemed like a decent deal. Otherwise, there are other locations near by, but it's hit or miss.

    My coworkers and I went for one of our birthdays. A group of young, Black, happy professionals- we were treated with incredible service. I thought since I don’t eat red meat, I wouldn’t be able to enjoy much. I was wrong, they had plenty of options for me! We loved our experience. The food, the service, the atmosphere: all terrific! Brandon was attentive and kind. He was efficient and Fernando was extremely accommodating, made us feel like family. Axel Ariel was a great young man, very mature and gave great service. The experience and the food was perfect. A great meal and a great memory. We’ll be back!

    Although this place is on the pricier side, it is completely worth it! The food was amazing and the atmosphere was welcoming. The service was impressive, we were checked up on just the right amount. Our server Oscar was very knowledgeable and helpful as well.

    The best restaurant I have ever been, the customer service, the food was delicious as well, I recommend the regular lemonade and the Francis Coppola Wine was super good tasting. Also Leroy was our waiter today and I can say that he’s the best waiter I ever met, confident, funny, excellent customer service, respectful and retailer so when you come here “Ask for him!!!” Best restaurant everrrr

    Without any exaggeration, I can say that this place has the best customer service in the entire country. The staff truly goes above and beyond. Here, you will, without any doubt, feel at home. And so while we were living in Austin, we frequented this place and enjoyed it every single time. Every visit, they made sure we were welcomed and taken care of. Amazing leadership: the restaurant’s manager Salvador is very humble and down to earth. He approaches each customer to make sure they were properly attended to. Their staff is absolutely outstanding. Special mentions to Fernando, Cindy, and Oscar, who served us with exceptional care and attentiveness on each visit. As the matter of fact, our family became friends with Fernando, who, every time we dined there, personally made sure we received the best lamb steaks cooked just the way we wanted(we only eat halal). That’s how they treat each customer. The steaks here are tender, succulent, and absolutely delicious. Last but not least… before leaving Austin, we decided to visit and dine at this location one last time and just say goodbye to the awesome staff there. When we mentioned it would be our last visit they prepared a special surprise for us: extra dessert and the check with 0 balance!!! They have covered the whole bill AND treated us to a nice dessert. To say that we were delighted would be an understatement. We were utterly moved by their generous act of kindness. They turned what was a bittersweet farewell into an unforgettable celebration, going beyond the realm of excellent service into something truly extraordinary This is a testament to their unrivaled commitment to customer satisfaction, which I believe, is deeply ingrained in the fabric of this restaurant. The spirit of this place is embodied perfectly in the unwavering professionalism and warmth of their hospitality. This restaurant is not just a place to dine, but a home away from home. We left Austin, but the memories we made at this place will stay with us forever. We cannot recommend it highly enough!

    Great place to go! I wish I remembered one our waiters name but he took our dessert order. Guy had a smile in his heart that made you feel he was glad you were there. We need more people in the world like him. Thanks for making date night special .

    This place has got life figured out. The staff is on top of everything, constantly checking on tables. Salad bar was a little TOO good, and don’t get me started on the Key Lime Pie. We only really enjoyed like 2 of the meats that were offered but the salad bar offerings, the bread, sides, & dessert were worth the price alone. Will be returning for sure!!!

    Gabby, Oliver, and the rest of the Wait Team, along with the delicious food are reasons to come and dine. The wait team are knowledgeable on the menu choices and make perfect recommendations. The meats are succulent and seasoned perfectly. Do yourself a favor and try the Brazilian Limoneda and the Toasted Cheese and Honey! You will not be disappointed

    My wife really wanted to go here and try the food because she heard a lot good stuff about it, but once we tried it's not our cup of tea. They have a large Appetizers options but the meat are not that great.they cut in front of you a stakes and if you don't eat fast gets cold so at the end you are eating cold meet. Fruit options really poor. And at the end I got stomach poisoning 😫. I was sick for two days.

    I thoroughly enjoy my visits to Fogo with friends and loved ones. The food consistently impresses with its delicious and diverse offerings. The recent additions to the dinner menu were a delightful surprise. The only minor drawback is that the new building they're located in is smaller compared to their old location. However, this did not in any way diminish the excellent service we received from our wonderful servers. I’ll definitely visit again in the near future.

    My friend and I celebrated our graduation here and 10/10 experience!! They made us feel welcomed, food was amazing, and servers and management were very professional. Will be telling everyone about this place and will hopefully visit again. Thank you Ty for making our graduation dinner amazing !

    What a great experience! We didn't spare any expenses here on our date night. We had a window seat of downtown. It was a great calm atmosphere and the service was beyond standard. They were observant when you needed beverages, when you needed a specific meat cut sent to your table, if you simply just needed anything. The service was wonderful, the food was wonderful and the experience was wonderful. I can't wait to go back! I hope next time that i can possibly capture the great table service, but I was in awe of the place it was more of take it all in than capture every moment. 😊 Valet is convenient and suggested but parking yourself was easy considering it was a Sunday evening dinner reservation.

    I have frequented Fogo De Chao for a while now and the food, and service has always been excellent but today was simply out of this world. Martin and Victor were our servers and they were on it. My daughter dropped her fork, and within seconds they had given her a new set. They asked us if we had any special requests and were consistently bringing out food. Plus I got a complimentary birthday dessert. So pleased!

    Great experience! Our son sent us a gift card. We have been sitting on it for almost two years. Daughter’s birthday came up and we made a reservation. Location of the restaurant is great, 2nd and congress. Salad bar is great, plus all different types of meats on skewers with severs walking around and cut as need. Service is great. Felipe Leroy is super! Very friendly, courteous, and nice! Will definitely recommend to friends and family.

    This was an experience that I got to share with my wife and daughter. They both loved the atmosphere, my wife tried new foods and my daughter found out she like lamb :⁠). The service was amazing. Never had to waive a waiter down. And didn't have to wait super long to eat. This is a reservation spot. Yes you can show up but the wait my be a little while.

    New in town, Came here for dinner on Sunday Dec 3.. Had a reservation at 5:15 and they seated me right away. Tommy was my server, he was really helpful, attentive and friendly. Salad bar was stocked, restrooms are clean. All of the meat selections they offer are DELICIOUS. Had the cream brulee to go for dessert. Will come again.

    Good restaurant, the market table has lot of options for sides, lot of options for meat as well in the full expirience where they serve multiple cuts of meats. Ask for cooking style when they bring meat, otherwise you'll end up rare sometimes. Also ask for the expensive meats as well they get that less often. My veg friend said the cauliflower steak is really good as well. And the market table also has veg options.
