    I should preface this with the fact that I’m already communal “salad bar” averse, but even more so during a pandemic. From all reviews online, the place looked classy and lovely - a food experience. Stepping inside, it definitely was a beautiful restaurant. However, we came dressed in on our very best, only to dine alongside people in Red Sox jerseys and sweatshirts on a Saturday evening. Call me a crotchety old lady stuck in the decades of yesteryear, but it was a little gross. The place is overwhelming. Granted; there was a wedding which seemed to take a good portion of the staff’s attention, but it was just utter mayhem. People were going up to the market table with masks falling below their face — we elected to just grab a plate and get the served meat and sides from the kitchen. I simply didn’t feel comfortable eating from the main fruit and sides bar. The drinks were late, the sides served all whacky, and the waitress was overwhelmed, but sweet — we are understanding regarding staffing at this time, though. That really wasn’t the hugest deal. Now the good: food was delicious. Meats were quite good, and the homemade drinks and sides were fresh and quite tasty. Bonus that all the served sides were gluten free. In an ideal world, I could just order meat and served sides, but the Fogo Experience is sort of the all-you-can-eats all-inclusive option that’s sort of a catch all. $61/person, which is kind of fine I guess. I’m not a huge eater in terms of portion size, so I think I’m the clientele that they make money on, lol, but it’s all good. I guess a little too “much” for my style, especially since you kind of can’t opt out of the line-up-like-cattle with your plates to get salad and vegetables, but all in all a nice dinner in terms of food quality.

    My friend and I recently took a visit, lured in by $39 "Best of Brazil" promotion. While we didn't get to sample their prime cuts, the meal was generally good for the price—but there was a catch. Upon arrival, we were initially offered an array of less expensive meats—chicken, pork, and sausages—as well as a variety of carb-heavy sides like fried plantains, mashed potatoes, and cheese bread. It felt less like a welcoming spread and more like a calculated attempt to fill us up before bringing out the prime, costlier cuts. By the time the Alcatra (Top Sirloin), Picanha (Prime Top Sirloin), and Fraldinha (Bottom Sirloin) made their appearance, we were almost at capacity. However, when we did get to the signature beef cuts, they were undeniably excellent, cooked to perfection and rich in flavor. The salad bar offered some respite from the meat feast, with the roasted bell pepper and mushroom salads particularly standing out for their ability to cut through the excess grease from the meats. If you are planning a visit, be strategic about it. Skip or limit the preliminary offerings and hold out for the signature beef cuts, which are the true stars of the experience.

    Absolutely recommend this place! The services were great and if you’re a meat lover. They have plenty of varieties and all you can eat meat! The salad bar also had a good spread but I would think it’s best to focus on meat here!!! The people who carve the meat for us were also absolutely sweet and attentive. We asked for filet mignon and they made sure we got it! I also enjoyed grilled mozzarella dipped in honey. It’s unearthly and so good!

    The drinks are remarkably here; whoever is creating the drinks needs a raise. They are both delicious and potent. The service was fantastic both waiters and waitresses were friendly and attentive. If you choose the BBQ option, you almost get overwhelmed by the amount of food served. Compared to other Brazilian steakhouses, Fogo de Chao does lack in the options department; however, most of the meats served pack a lot of flavors; occasionally, some meats are a bit dry, but that should not stop you from visiting highly recommend going here for a date you definitely will need the stretchy pants when visiting.

    I would recommend meat lovers to try this churrascaria (Brazilian steak restaurant). It is definitely an experience you should try. Aside from various types of steaks, they have chicken and pork as well. Their salad bar is phenomenal. In addition, you get to try various Brazilian food. The staff is very friendly, attentive and courteous. They have a fried cheese with honey. It is to die for.

    Ate here because it was located in the hotel where were staying. The service and food were excellent. They use a team approach to service, any of the wait staff can assist. I only have a 4/5 testing due to my perception of the value. Expensive but good.

    Beautiful place with delicious and perfectly cooked food! My friends took me here for a birthday celebration dinner! It was my first time and needless to say it was quite the experience! Every piece or meat was expertly cooked to perfection. The staff and waiters were hospitable! The sides were also delicious (although as given the advice by the other google reviewers, I left the most room for the meat!) the cheesy bread however is game-changing and a MUST try (one or five! It’s really good)! The signature drink is delicious we tried all of the flavors! My only complaint was the way they can only split a check two ways? We wanted to do 3 and 1 but they could only do 2 and 2? Over all a wonderful experience nonetheless and I will definitely be back!

    High recommend this place. Went for Sunday brunch. The restaurant is beautiful. The service was excellent and attentive without being intrusive. All the food was good/high quality from the meat to the buffet choices. The buffet was extremely clean - had an omelet station, waffles, fruit, veggies (roasted and salad), yogurt parfaits, special breads, cheese, cured meat, etc. The servers came around with many meat choices - the meat had nice crispy edges and it was easy to choose parts that were rare or more well done.

    I had the pleasure of being served Julian. Wow what an experience! So I make it a habit to try and dine at Fogo whenever I visit a major city and Boston is no exception! Amazing atmosphere and amazing food and service. If your in town make your reservation or walk in and enjoy the restaurant.

    Wonderful experience! The bartender (Michele C) was the best. She did not only serve drinks but she was also knowledgeable about the origins of the drinks. Definitely also ask her about iced wines. Sooo good! I also met a waiter named Luis P! He wasn’t even our main server but always assisted if I needed anything. The food was delicious. We did the buffet style where they bring out all types of meats and OMG it was endless. It was the best time and I can’t stop thinking about it!!! I will definitely be going there! I drove from NH for this!!!

    Really good experience! This is my first time at this restaurant, but the Brazilian barbecue here is the best I've ever had! Thank you, Santa and Erica, for your service! Next Time I'll bring my friends over for dinner

    I chose this restaurant to celebrate my birthday and it was a great choice. We had a great reception, starting from the receptionist, waiter and the special attention we got from the manager was excellent. And not to mention that the food is delicious, meat of great quality and good seasoning… I recommend

    Food is really good but the place needs to be properly managed. Our server Maria was very nice but she had too many tables. Food delivery was sporadic as we had to ask many times for the servers to come with the meat. The salad bar was low on food most of the evening The reception area was a mob scene and it was embarrassing how the people waiting for tables had to hover. Never had an issue with any of their other locations.

    I have been to many FdC around the country, but this was the first time bringing my family. My daughters LOVED IT. The variety is second-to-none and the acute attention to detail is so appreciated. The staff is/was super attentive and courteous. Its still a steep price for the full experience (per plate), so we may not be back too soon, but definitely will be back!

    Fogo De Chao is quite possibly the best steakhouse in Boston. Also, I never get chicken, sausage, or bacon-wrapped anything. They're just not as good as the beef. Why not, you may ask? Because it is a STEAKHOUSE. I am there for STEAK, and not that peasant meat. At Fogo, you get the most incredible selection of steaks, and they're all delicious. A lot of high-end steak in Boston is basted in butter and they all taste rich in butter. Quite frankly, it gets boring. However, Brazilian steakhouses roast steaks over a fire pit, giving it a beautiful char and taste. What makes Fogo special is that it's high end, set in a beautiful dining room, and the servers here are generally very nice and quick to accommodate. In particular, I've gotten to know some of the people here, for instance a meat server named Amibol. He always goes above and beyond to make sure you're getting the cut of meat you want. Also, the manager, Maicon Delfino, is another incredible person. He takes the time to talk to us after the meal, address any issues we had, and even sends us off with an extra basket of Pão de queijo, the amazing Brazilian cheesy bread. AMAZING people and amazing food.

    I came here in the middle of November to surprise and celebrate my parents 33rd anniversary. Upon arriving, we parked via valet services that was very convenient as they are located in the Westin Hotel in Copley Place. That was about $20/$25. There is street parking if you prefer that as well. The hotel was very nice, beautifully decorated for the holidays. We entered and was seated by the host right away. Our server Daniel was very kind, friendly and attentive. He made sure we had thee perfect evening. The rest of the staff was very pleasant as well. They were friendly making my parents laugh and we felt cared for and so welcomed. They truly had a great experience and can not wait to re visit. The meats came out in great timing, very tasty and I enjoyed the lamb the most. They surprised us with a dessert and I was so blown because I wasn’t expecting that. I recommend the crème brûlée, the berries were so fresh. I had high expectations and they were definitely met! Management should be very proud for having such a wonderful caring staff. The service was astonishing. Thank you so much for this wonderfully dinner!

    We came here for my sons 6th birthday and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Our server Diana was absolutely amazing. I would say the best service I’ve ever received at a restaurant. She made sure my son (Jamari) was well taken care of and sang him happy birthday. Also Alex Mateo gave us the best service! We asked him permission to record some videos for memories and he gave us an amazing show slicing the meat. Hands down best dining experience I’ve ever had in 30 years anywhere! The food was outstanding, couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

    Last night, we had the pleasure of dining at Fogo de Chão, and I must commend our server, Alex Matteo, for his outstanding service. From the moment we sat down, Alex was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. He expertly guided us through the menu, offering recommendations that perfectly suited our tastes. What really stood out was Alex's professionalism and enthusiasm. He had a genuine smile and made sure our dining experience was top-notch. The way he described each dish made our mouths water, and his timing in bringing the food was impeccable. Moreover, Alex's attention to detail was remarkable. He noticed when our drinks were low and promptly offered refills without us having to ask. He also checked in with us periodically to ensure everything was to our liking, but he did so unobtrusively, which allowed us to enjoy our meal and conversation. Overall, Alex's service greatly enhanced our dining experience at Fogo de Chão. He is a true asset to the restaurant, and because of his exceptional service, we will definitely be returning. Kudos to Alex for making our evening so enjoyable.

    Went for dinner and drinks after a long conference day. It’s connected to the Westin Copley with hotel and street entrance. On a Monday evening was quickly seated at the bar, most of the restaurant was empty but filled up later on. Had some wine and apps with dinner food was moist and delicious the picanha seasoning was great. Would be better if the place was more lively but, overall great experience with attentive staff and clean space. They have happy hour food menu too.

    Nice experience. I am a fan of this restaurant and I can’t remember how many times I eat here. Today’s server Santa Erica is super friendly and she got everything we need very fast. Five stars absolutely! : )

    Delicious Brazilian food and steak. Brasillian beer and drinks. Service is impeccable. Price is reasonable for what you get. Definitely a best place to celebrate a special day

  • 5/5 Jonathan B. 2 years ago on Google
    It is always a great experience Coming to Fogo de chao for an event, business meeting, or a casual dinner night. Without a doubt it displays a true Brazilian barbecue gaucho style, rated one of the best restaurants in Boston. Everytime we go we are greeted by the restaurant manager Jair with a big smile and are guaranteed a great atmosphere and great service. Thanks to the entire team for providing such a remarkable experience.

    I know I was very late but for this price, I expected my salad bar has fresh fruit and fresh food. I was there 1 hour before they close and some of the plates at the salad bar were empty and never refilled. I will give 3 stars for those fresh meat. But for this price I am kind of disappointed.

  • 5/5 Anil S. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely loved this place there is no where that can top their service and food. The food was delicious and mouth watering. I personally recommend this place 5 stars is not enough 10 out of 10. I wish I lived closer I would go there every day if I did. Honestly just creating this review just makes me want to go back to Boston just to eat there regardless that it's nearly a 4 hour drive to the restaurant.

  • 5/5 D. 2 years ago on Google
    It was my first time here and the food and drinks were excellent! The sides were served buffet style and the waitstaff comes around every few minutes carving different types of meat at your table. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and I will visit again!!! We actually finished the tomahawk steak (pictured below).

  • 5/5 Kim B. 2 years ago on Google
    The BEST Flan ANYWHERE!! Made on-site! Now that THAT is out of the way....the food was awesome! The customer service was great - my Dad is very much a meat-and-potatoes old school guy and wasn't big on most of the sides. I asked and they steamed asparagus and made mashed potatoes and sautéed mushrooms for him! THAT is customer service! My husband and Dad also said it was the best Key Lime Pie they had ever had, and yall, we are from the Gulf Coast so that's saying something!

    It was Awesome to have been at this Brazilian restaurant🥰😘 I was over feed! Best all you can eat meat ever, well cook and the services was amazing 👏🏽👌🏽.

  • 5/5 Justin D. 2 years ago on Google
    Was walking by, saw the nicely displayed bottles from outside, figured they'd have the drink I like and decided to drop in.... It was a great decision. My new friend Camilo made a great drink... Perfect temperature and great cut of ice that didn't water down my drink. I met Paulo, who I think may be the manager, he suggested the beef rib appetizer which was a phenomenal choice. Everyone super friendly... The place was clean.... Everyone professional. I am not Brazilian, but am almost positive my Brazilian friends will approve. I will know shortly because I will be back soon. Great choice for dining on the area.

    To celebrate my wife's birthday in 2021, we decided to try something different in the form of Fogo de Chao Boston. In a word, AMAZING! It was classy with attention paid to every. single. detail. It's best to take advantage of the valet parking as it's simple to find and affordable compared to area lots that can exceed $50 for a couple of hours. Note that it is CASH ONLY for the valet parking. From the entrance to the Westin Hotel, you are steps away from this all you can eat Brazilian Steakhouse experience. The atmosphere is tranquil with an intimate ambience despite the size of the dining area. The staff does an excellent job explaining what to expect and then you can have at it by hitting the salad bar. Take in enough veggies for the abundance to come. As soon as you return to your seat, wave after wave of tender, perfectly seasoned beef, chicken pork and lamb will be brought over to you. You can opt for your personal preference of how well done the meat is for every selection. In minutes you will have so much on your plate that it's almost overwhelming. Fortunately, you are given a two sided button (one side red, the other green) to indicate if you'd like more or if you are working on what you've got in front of you. Everything is so tasty, you might not realize how much you have eaten until a second wave of the meat selections comes your way. Definitely go hungry. Seriously.They usually provide a complimentary dessert for the guest of honor if you're there for a birthday. They forgot during our visit, but it was all good. There was absolutely no way we could save room for dessert. I've never paid for a meal with the type of electronic device they presented me with. It was easy to select the gratuity and complete the transaction, leaving me impressed with the entire experience. Children under 12 eat for half off, and the cost is reduced (with the same menu) for lunch. You can go a la carte, or add more appetizers than what's included, but we went for the all you can eat experience and found it more than adequate. It was perfect. I highly recommend Fogo De Chao for your next celebratory dining experience.
