    Fogo de Chao Brazilian Steakhouse was delicious! It is located right inside the St. John's Town Center. They have some of the best steak and chicken that I have ever tasted. My absolute favorite was the bacon wrapped steak and the bacon wrapped chicken. The meat never stopped coming, we didn't miss out on trying anything. The salad bar was full of fresh vegetables and fruits. The different cheese and selections were fantastic also. The drinks were great. The Martini was the best I ever had. Fogo de Chao Brazilian Steakhouse is expensive but it is worth every dollar!

    As always the best place to eat. The others are just copies. Service was fantastic. I did my reservation and when arrived only sat for 3 mins while they prepared out table. Best experience for my new bride and I. Atmosphere was great. Soft music in the background and staff was on top of everything and anything we needed. Will be going back soon. I love taking photos so I placed some here of the wife and I.

    I have been to other Brazilian steakhouse's but none compared to the quality here at Fogo. Free valet was a great bonus considering Valentine's day traffic at town center. Had made reservations and did not wait longer than 5 minutes. Servers were constantly checking in and manager helping. The food was wonderful and the candied bacon warranted being an appetizer, side dish and dessert 🥓. My favorite is always the pineapple. The little bread bites are heaven. Some areas are an intimate setting but most are pretty open.

    Really enjoyed my experience. The food was really good and packed with flavor. The experience selection on the menu is the most bang for your buck. Service was spotty due to us being tucked away in a little cove. I would try them again.

    Always wanted to experience a Brazilian restaurant after seeing it on the Cooking Channel. Was in Jacksonville for my birthday weekend and my wife surprised me with reservations. This place was amazing with great customer service. Plenty of food choices for the price. Big salad/cheese bar and 10-12 different variety of meats they bring to table for you to try! Would definitely recommend. Go hungry!!!!

    Been here several times with no issues. This time, we tried their all day happy hour at the bar. We ordered a couple of cocktails to start. From their happy hour menu, we had the Bone Churrasco board. Meat was fatty and salty. The Spicy chicken sliders were pretty good and the Saucy Legs were ok. Friendly service! I will be sticking with the all-you-can-eat meats going forward.

    We made reservations here for a birthday celebration, noted on the reservation, and prompted to our first server. We have been to this style of dining before, however it was our first time at this restaurant. The food was great, typical of this fare. However the hospitality was lacking. We watched of the servers interacting with the other tables , laughing, entertaining, even hugging a few. However with us, we were left alone, and made to feel a nussiance. We had to waive someone down to get our drink orders. During our meal we asked for assistance and after 12 minutes of no return, got assistance from a different server. The original one never returned so unsure if she forgot. When we got our bill it was just for the drinks, and since it was our first time here we thought they may bill them speratly, bar vs dinning. So I sent back my card, then when it was returned to be signed for they had added the meal and charged the whole account without me seeing the updated total. Even though the food was good, part of going out is the hospitality, and the experience. For this birthday celebration, and our first time at this restaurant, it made us feel unwanted, and the staff unprofessional.

    Absolutely incredible experience. As a foodie, I can tell you it is worth every penny for the Churrasco experience. The salad bar was wonderful, our main host (Ryan) with the beard and long hair was great, and as a first timer at this restaurant, I can tell you I will be a regular. Wonderful staff, wonderful food, wonderful experience. Best way to spend my wife’s & I’s first anniversary!

    Such an amazing experience with great food...seasoned tender meats, fresh fruits, aged cheeses, and various sides. The brown sugar bacon is absolutely delicious. Clean bathrooms and great customer service from staff. The cheesecake is superb. Make sure you flip to red after your second meat or when your full because you will start to feel obligated to stuff your belly. Clean eating utensils too.

    First time to this steakhouse. The salad bar was large, alot to choose from. Favorites were filet Mignon and lamb chops, perfectly seasoned and delicious. Service was okay, a little subpar, but overall I enjoyed dining here and will be back.

    First time here, and it could've been better. Our waitress was MIA most of the meal. I think she checked in maybe 3 times, including the initial drinks and food ordering. I waited over 15 minutes, and after asking 3 different waitresses, I finally got my drink refill. Food overall was very delicious, albeit pretty salty. Anyone who knows me knows I love me some salt, but between the lack of drink refills and the general saltiness, I felt it sullied the experience quite a bit. Typically, at these nicer establishments, they ask if you are celebrating anything. Our waitress didn't, so our special occasion was just a little less special. Maybe she just had an off night. The Market Table was wonderful with all kinds of food to choose from, and if we were to come back, we'd probably just stick to that.

    It was absolutely delicious! We came to celebrate my dad's 79th birthday, who is here from Germany to visit us, I told our waiter but we didn't receive a dessert for him, that was a bit sad. But the food and drinks were sooo delicious. The services we received, was excellent as well. The 3 different steak sauces where a nice touch, we loved the Brazilian the best. We loves the calm, and open feel to the restaurant so much. It was a wonderful evening our party of 8 enjoyed!! We will be back for sure.

    We went for lunch to get the market table that is filled with different salads, cheeses, veggies, cured meats, smoked salmon, and so much more! We also decided to add meat to our meal for $10.00. Our choice was the picannah, and we were not disappointed. So very tasty and tender! I also got to enjoy a dessert of Tres Leche cake..... it was delicious!

    My wife had the idea of celebrating my birthday at this restaurant. We had not tried it yet but we could see it was almost always full, so we decided to give it a try. However, the experience was not good. The restaurant was packed and the restaurant itself looked great. We chose the rodizio experience. The idea is that they will bring meats to your table at your own pace. You decide if you want to eat or to wait a little by turning the cards on your table with the green or red sides up. Well, pretty soon we saw that they don't pay attention to the cards. "Do you want chicken?", "do you want meat?", "do you want pork?", "do you want sausage?"... Lord! You had not even finished what you chose when they were already asking. It felt rushed. I wanted to enjoy my wife's company and the restaurant, but apparently the task was chewing as fast as possible!! 😅 They offered to bring sauce to the table. We asked twice and they never did. Because of my birthday they were supposed to bring a little something at the end, but they completely forgot. Finally, the check was mixed with other weird charges and they had to redo the check all over again. My wife and I laughed the whole experience up, but it is very disappointing to see such a nice restaurant deliver such a mediocre service. Maybe too many customers? Cheesecake Factory copes with it flawlessly... I don't know. The meat samples were ok, the salad bar was nothing to be blown away... So... No, I don't think I'll be back. If you are curious about the rodizio experience and are willing to pay for it, then give it a try. But I would not recommend it for a celebration. Even less if you want to sip your wine... I felt like I was in an airport terminal where everyone was rushing and eating fast... Anyway... You get my point.

    We came here for a birthday and Miguel our server was great! Very personable and fun. Everyone else was very sweet as well. Definitely come here with an empty stomach so you can try all the meats. The top sirloin was my personal favorite and then the fried cheese was a close second.

    True 5-star experience. The wait staff is extremely attentive. The buffet is full of amazing salads and cold cuts, soups, rice, beans, and some killer candied bacon. The full rodizio experience is what you want. Surprisingly the bottom round and garlic parmesan pork were my favorite cuts. I seriously ate like 5 pounds of meat. Come get you some.

    This is my new favorite location! I've been to Fogo in Chicago and New Orleans and one other location I'm forgetting, but this is the best one yet! Everything was delicious, timely, and perfectly cooked. The staff was extremely kind and helpful, I look forward to my next visit!

    Wonderful birthday lunch with our main server, Kara! She went over and above, even helping when a cut slipped onto my sports coat… The entire staff was so nice and accommodating. Such a pleasant experience. Also… the food is AMAZING! Great selection, choices, and presentation!!!!!

    We arrived later (about 90 minutes before closing) but the food was just as good as any other time of day. The salad bar was still fully stocked and the meats were all available and hot. Our server Morgan was was absolutely awesome. Very friendly, quick on drink and bar refills and friendly to chat with. Only downside is that you can only eat so much. I will be back.

  • 5/5 BLue S. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a awesome place for meat lovers. My kids and wify loved lamb meats even though she normally does not like lamb. (I believed there were 2 different types of lamb on that day even the menu said only one). My in-laws loved the steaks. I tried a little bit of all of them. Excellent meat quality. One time, I said the steak was too rare for my kids, the staff said he would be back with the medium if I wanted. Indeed he did. The only roasted chicken was a little dried. I didn't ask for a fresh one bc I was busy with the "salad bar" which was really cool. It was totally different from typical American salad bar. The white rice which is next to the salad bar was not as flavorful as the next door competitor. I was too full to try any soup. Cost was 58 bucks per adult (kids have discount) for "continuous tableside services" and I thought it was totally worth it. Beside that there are other courses can be ordered separately. Bathroom was very clean and nice. Staff were very friendly.

    This is the BEST Fogo we’ve been to yet! Everything we ate was absolutely DELICIOUS! The customer service we received was AMAZING! We were served fried cheese with honey, grilled pineapple, and mint sauce to eat with lamb! We never have been served those things at other locations! This place is a straight up carnivore’s DREAM! The buffet is straight 🔥 too! You can ask for specific kinds of meat, and they will gladly bring you some! My favorites are filet mignon and lamb chops! HIGHLY RECOMMEND coming HERE! 💯🤤🎉 McAndrew Travels~YouTubers

    This was my first time eating at Fogo de Chao. It was a wonderful experience! I absolutely loved how many different types of steaks they had. The alcoholic beverages are strong and tasty. The service is superior👌🏾. And the salad bar was like none other. It seems like they keep bringing you unlimited sides (mashed potatoes). This place is absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is great, and the vibe is cool. If you have a celebration 🍾 this is the place to come to celebrate. Our server even gave my cousin a free dessert 🍨 for getting his bachelor degree. It turned out to be $55 a person with one alcoholic beverage, not including tip. Not bad. I highly recommend this place!

  • 5/5 Dena S. 10 months ago on Google
    I didn't want to fill up with the salad bar or bread, but the bread was so delicious. It's like eating a mini popover. The meat was delicious also, but our visit was cut short by smoke in the dining room. They completely took care of us though!! I can't wait to return!

  • 4/5 Kevin O. 9 months ago on Google
    This is a great place as long as you are really hungry. I will say it has deteriorated a bit as the service was not as fast and the food was “good” ( not excellent). The last time I came you had to make sure you turned your thing to red fast or you would have a line of people offering you different meats. This time I literally had to ask them to come serve us. I kept the rating at 3 and called it a “great place” as I will give them some grace since the last time I went it was much better. Not sure if in the quest to “cut costs” they are scaling back.

    My son requested his birthday dinner be here. So... Mom made the reservation online for a table of 8 people. Simple & painless. Fogo is a chain restaurant, but you walk in and you feel like it's a fancier restaurant than what it is. Nice place to celebrate a birthday, special occasion or just because. Once you're seated and flip your coaster to the green side, the different cuts/types of meat start coming. The salad bar is clean with selections of salad, fruit, soups and rice. The waiters are all so attentive as well. Bringing you drinks even before you're done. They'll even ask you if you want a specific cut to which they'll have someone bring it out for you. Come hungry, you'll get your money's worth. And for all of you who love leftovers, you can't take any home, so enjoy while you can!

    My wife and I enjoy their lunch salad buffet. The lunch buffet (carved meats not included) is only $15 per person. Honestly, you can't beat the price. The service is impeccable. Also, you receive mashed potatoes, plantains, and a couple more items to go with your meal. Never had a bad experience. The salad lunch buffet includes a lot of items. Also lunch is till 1:45 pm. Às long as you get in there before 1:45 pm, you'll get the lunch deal. They offer a military discount (10% per military ID).

    Wonderful event for the caipirinha tasting. Service was outstanding Illy and Cassia were super sweet and attentive. Bar bites were delicious, loved the bacon wrapped steak and chicken.

    Great spot. Dinner party for a large group. Choices for everyone as a Brazilian steak house. I opted for an entree off the menu…but they’ll keep bringing you options as long as you say YES. The Chilean Sea Bass was delicious, the martini went down way too easy. Service was excellent. Cozy atmosphere despite large setting. Parking was a little challenging~but only because it was so well attended.
