    First time here and it won't be the last! Other than our wait time with a reservation (35 min), I had a lovely time celebrating my engagement 💍 😊. The food was impeccable and the service was phenomenal! When the waitress found out we got engaged that night, they gave us two glasses of champagne 🍾 and the most luscious chocolate cheesecake I've ever tasted! Can't wait to go back!

    We had an awesome dining experience! It's not Michelin-Star fancy, but it's upper-middle class quality, with a vibrant atmosphere. Our restaurant attendant was great, Servers were formal and friendly; the respect we received was commendable. Incredible Variety at the Salad Bar, rotating fresh fruits, vegetable medleys, cheeses, and dressings. It's a great compliment to the Churrasco "Experience"! Guaranteed satisfaction, and likely beyond! Visit for an enjoyable outing!

    I have eaten here dozens of times and have always had an outstanding experience. The downstairs space of the restaurant is a little more formal. The bar area up top and at the entrance are more casual. Either way, a meal at Fogo de Chao is always a wonderful experience!

    I when here to celebrate my birthday and I had a great time, it was 12 of us and everyone said that they had a great time. The unlimited meat at the table was truly an experience. The salad bar was also very extensive. If you're not a meat lover there's other things to enjoy. Like Cauliflower Steak, Salmon and Sea Bass just to name a few. The guest who had these said they were delicious

    I came here with some of my friends, and this restaurant can give you a very good ambiance. Worth paying for their "eat all you can" deal as well as the creme brulee. I can say it's one of the best deals I've paid for. Nothing special with their drinks, but our dining experience is worth it. Great service as well!

    Had a quick lunch here with my colleagues in between meetings. This location is the most sophisticated I’ve been to so far as it’s much cozier and quiter than others I’ve been to. Great value for money with their Gaucho lunch deal with unlimited salad bar and six slices of steak or any meat you want. Opted for their top sirloin medium rare. Each table was given a plate of pao de quiejo, mashed potatoes, plantains, and fries / polenta fingers. Capped off our meals by sharing a decadent slice of brigadiero cake which had the smoothest texture. Happy to have gone here for lunch vs settling for another overpriced cold sandwich in a café.

    Long wait on a rainy day. One waiter told us a table opening up was ours, while another waiter promised another group a table. I had to order my burger twice. I ordered it medium and came way over cooked. My drink was tasty.

    Great value on happy hour. Had the house cheeseburger and a beer at the happy hour special (all with tip under 20 dollars!). The bar area is very nice and sophisticated. Service is special. The burger was of the highest quality: juicy meat, fluffy brioche, and crunchy polenta as a side

    Went for a dinner with my long time friend. This is a nice concept and I tried it before. Very large salad bar with variety of choices and then waiters coming to cut some meats on your plate. Very good food, atmosphere, Service very efficient, loved the wine at the happy hour price of 8$. Very enjoyable and I do recommend

    This place never disappoints! The food is always consistently great and if you don't feel like shoveling delicious meat down your throat you can always order off the menu. The customer service is usually top notch. Tonight I had one rude waitress with an attitude but I have been here many times and this is the 1st time that happened. The multiple other waiters were more than helpful and made up for her. The garlic shrimp is amazing! The cocktails are so good too! This place is a must... they the lava cake for dessert!

    If you walking around the city and want to stop for a quick and amazing Brazilian food, the Bar at Fogo de Chão is a good option. They have very good wine selections. The artichoke cream with toasts were delicious and full of flavor. The salmon with asparagus was melting 🤤

    Had an amazing dinner here. The atmosphere is breathe taking when you first walk in, you can see three different floors at the same time. The salad bar was fully stocked. All the cuts of meat were fresh hot and amazing and lastly the cheesecake with strawberry drizzle was mouthwateringly good.

    Definitely check out this Brazilian steakhouse if you have a chance. I highly recommend doing the Churrasco Experience if possible. This allows you to have access to unlimited meat, which servers will come around on a giant skewer, and to the salad bar. If you do not think you can eat your fill with the meat, then you can order the entrée. Each Fogo de Chao restaurant have their own unique salad bar. This one had tasty salad, tons of vegetables, and good cheese!

    This restaurant is an excellent pick for some tasty Brazilian food! It's not overly fancy, but it has a relaxed and inviting vibe, and the food is flavorful and satisfying. The meatballs are particularly noteworthy, but everything on the menu is worth trying. If you're looking for a casual and authentic Brazilian dining experience, this is a great place to check out! Also, I recommend making reservation before going, it was really busy(been there i a Saturday night)

    An exceptional restaurant that will not put a knot in your wallet. There is the full experience, you get every single grilled meat you could think of. Servers walk around with skewed meat. There is more than 10 options. I just had the pan seared salmon with asparagus. But the restaurant gives you complimentary mashed Potatoes, bread with cheese, and sweet plantains. The drinks were sweet but not that strong. The staff were kind, polite and always offering their service. A must go back!

    Great experience at Fogo de Chao. The dining room/area is huge and the space is classy. No music was playing at any moment which I really appreciated. I went for the Churrascaria experience and even though you had a choice between 20 different meats unfortunately I only had to taste around 10 meats. The buffet is extensive with a lot of choices and healthy options. The waitress was very present and helpful at the beginning and then as the time went by, service went down. Special shout-out to the bus girl/bus who were always on point. Overall great experience.

    Meat, meat, and meat! The Kenyan in me was happy to find a place that is overflowing with roast meat. You won't finish the food here, but you get value for money. What I loved most were: the hospitality from the staff, the meat, and the Brazilian fusion.

    We had the A Fogo Tradition The Churrasco Experience where you get different cuts of meat - beef, pork chicken and lamb. I really like the cuts of beef. The filet mignon is really great but you have to ask for it. They even have cheese that is grilled and drizzled with honey that’s delicious but you have to ask for that too. Both are included in the menu. It comes along with the Market Table & Feijoada Bar. At the Market Table you get unlimited amounts of salads, cheese, fruit. The Feijoada Bar contains rice, black beans, spicy candied bacon and sauces. With this experience you also get unlimited sides - cheese breads, masked potatoes, yuca fries and grilled plantains. The cheese breads taste the best hot so wait to reorder it when your group is ready to eat it. For dessert we had the Tres Leches Cake which was one of the best I have had in a while. The staff was attentive and really great.

    This is a really fun place. Great for the holiday and special occasions. The grill meats are perfect. The market bar is bountiful. The service is friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is swanky but not snobbish. Always a good crowd.

    Been here a few times and always have a great time. The atmosphere, cleanliness and all staff members are top tier. We had our guests try the full Churrasco Experience, (roasting high-quality signature cuts of meat over an open flame and carved table-side) which includes the market table and Feijoada bar. (traditional black bean stew with sausage). I always have fun giving healthy pointers of what to try at the market table, my absolute favorites are the smoked salmon, the many varieties of cheese and palm hearts. We particularly opted for the red meats Picanha* (Prime part of Top Sirloin), Lamb Picanha (Prime Lamb Steak), Filet Mignon (Tenderloin), Cordiero (Lamb Picanha, Chops), Alcatra (Top sirloin) complimented with Brazilian Side Dishes: Warm Pão de Queijo (Cheese Bread) Crispy polenta; Mashed Potatoes (yum) Caramelized Bananas (needs a bit of improvement) We decided to share the Chocolate Molten Cake (Warm chocolate cake with a chocolate fudge center, served with vanilla ice cream and rich chocolate ganache), and it perfectly concluded the dining experience. One of my favorite places to dine :)

    All you can eat meat with a fully loaded Salad and More bar. They kept bringing the meat and made sure I always had a full plate. Great Service. Everyone is super friendly. Looking forward to going back again.

    I was there to celebrate my sister’s birthday and it was worth it. We took the Churrasco Experience and if you are a really lover of a good piece of steak 🥩 you need to have it. I have been there like 5 times and I like this place. The atmosphere is good, little crowded but is a nice place. Our server of friendly but I will not give a 5 stars just because we were seated in some of the corners and sometimes the guy that server the meats the forget to stop by our table. Drinks are good and caipirinha are great.

    All you can eat Brazilian steakhouse. It’s a good place to try different meats and vegetables/salads. The staffs are usually kind. I’m a regular customer since 2007 in different cities. My favorite is Picanha and ribeye.

    The experience of this place was stellar. It was my first time trying Brazilian Steak and everything was so good. I think I had around 9 different meats (lamb,pork,chicken,beef). The lamb was my favorite! And their salad bar had great various foods. Also the staff and manager were super kind as well! I would like to visit there again!l😄

    They get so many things right here! It starts with the staff! They give you VIP treatment starting right at the door. They take great measure to keep us safe. After we checked in, a distinguished gentleman escorted us to our seats. Then he handed us to the most incredible server, Camilla. Then her fellow servers came over and greeted us. They are very excited to take care of you. I hope you bring your appetite. There is no shortage of food and drinks. An army of chefs come out with different meats on a sword. No sauce needed for the meats. The sides are for table. We all drank Caipirinhas. They have a All Day Happy Hour special for $8 on a certain drinks. Drinks are tasty and strong.

  • 2/5 Cinoyo L. 4 months ago on Google
    A very bad customer service experience at Fogo De Chão. We’ve had amazing service at this place for the past 2-3 years of coming here. This person was very rude. This is nothing bad about the restaurant because this was a rare case unfortunately happened to us but I would like to bring this up. It would be great to know when this person will not be around so we can hopefully schedule a gathering there. - Weirdly jokingly touching my auntie on her shoulder - We mentioned the promo to get our bill adjusted and showed an attitude. - I was naive enough to insist in giving him tips in cash but he stormed away after dropping the receipt on our table. I ended up giving the tip to another person who saw and was nice to us.

    I’ve heard about this chain from people who live in other states during our visit in Brazil. We’ve got a chance to try this time in nyc for lunch. Very nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Food is delicious, love especially the lamb, and the different cuts of steak. Salad bar is amazing. Will try their other locations as well

    First time here and sat in the upper private level, where the meats come out faster and has a much less hectic atmosphere than the large seating area below where the salad bar is. The overall experience was amazing and each cut of meat tasted very delicious. One thing to add is to make sure you say how you like your meat cooked (rare to well done) so they can slice off the right piece for you. Staff were very nice and attentive and would love to come back soon!

  • 2/5 Ethem C. 3 months ago on Google New
    "I had a reservation at 9:15 pm but still waited an hour to be seated. The service was incredibly slow, and the meat quality was disappointing, far below what I expected from a renowned steakhouse. There are definitely better options out there for a premium steak experience with lower prrice

  • 3/5 llarausa 3 months ago on Google New
    PROS: sure, the place is huge and atmosphere is inviting. Food is good and all, but… CONS: Big issue is the lateness, with a reservation for 20:30 we received our first dish at 22:20, not ok. Food arrive dried up, so not that great either. Also there are things that makes absolutely no sense. So, salad/meat bar is 38$ but pan-seared salmon 39$ and includes the salad/meat bar? So salmon is 1$? The math there doesnt add up 🤔. Also, you take a wagyu or dry-aged tomahawk (175$, 115$) and doesn’t include the salad/meat bar? 😅 In the end, a nice woman that we believe is the floor manager came to us to apologize and offered solutions to compensate, also the general manager Christopher came too to wonder why we did not tip. I guess they wanted to know why a party of 11 people was not happy with the experience.

    After going to another steakhouse where I had a wonderful experience, I feel compelled to write this poor review about Fogo de Chao regarding my valentines day experience. To begin with, I made a reservation over the phone for my husband and I to have a valentines day meal and confirmed the restaurant has halal options. I walk into Fogo de chao 15 minutes prior to my reservation, and am greeted by the hostess along with approximately ONE HUNDRED other people who were also waiting to be seated. The place was clearly overbooked and cramped and crowded--not what I wanted my valentines day dinner to be. Out of courtesy and seeing the crowds, I waited 15 minutes past my reservation time and then sifted through the crowds to ask the hostess about my table. Lo and behold--the restaurant didn't even have my reservation. Had I stood there and waited, I wouldn't have even been attended to. I will say I am thankful for the hostess who nevertheless believed me and seated me promptly, once I said I indeed made a reservation over the phone. I was seated on the upper level and the arrangements were lovely, but the events beforehand ruined the ambience. Now coming to the food--the salad bar was a good experience, however by the time we were seated many things ran out. Further, as guests with dietary restrictions (halal), it was confusing to see many things unlabeled with the contents of the meal. We later got plantains and polenta fries which were cold. Of greatest disappointment were the halal options, which we were told were JUST chicken breast or lamb chops (and no steak, which defeated the whole purpose of us going). Had I been informed of this over the phone, it would have been acceptable, but it was maddening to have waited in this manner and then basically not have a choice of what to eat. The cherry on top was that the chicken breast was incredibly dry. The lamb chops were decent though. In all, a deeply upsetting experience that felt like a complete waste of money and time and that added stress to what would should have been a relaxing night.

    Overall not a bad experience dinning here. Would highly recommend trying the lamb! Only complaint would be the that we had to wait almost 15-20 minutes between service for our choices of drinks and desserts.

  • 5/5 Jennifer C. 3 months ago on Google New
    This was the most wonderful evening! We came here to celebrate our family Christmas dinner early after a show. What a wonderful choice! Everything was amazing down to the Cucumber Mint Smash Every dessert was amazing. Try it all! You won’t regret it!

    Great place for a fine lunch. Come with lots of hunger & don’t eat all day. You will get filled here really fast with all the yummy meat they serve & that amazing salad bar with lots of options.

  • 4/5 Olena S. 5 months ago on Google
    Huge steak house. The ambience is beautiful. The food was good, but it seemed that the meat quality wasn’t great . We got the Churrasco Experience . Some of the choices were good, some not at all. The Churrasco experience comes with buffet MARKET TABLE & FEIJOADA BAR, which had good selection of appetisers. We didn’t like The detests at all. The lava cake was super dry and ice cream felt like a regular supermarket ice cream. The service was ok as well. You are supposed to flip the sticker on the table to green side when you are ready for another piece of meat. I wish they were more attentive, as sometimes we had to call them, as they’d just pass by without getting to our table , although our stickers were with green side up . So overall we had good time, but should we return- no .

  • 5/5 A. T. 1 year ago on Google
    We love the experience. Quality of meats are great, perfect grilled from Lamb, beef, chicken, pork and sausages. Salad bar has wide selection. We love the CHURRASCO EXPERIENCE. The waiter and everyone is super nice. We love everything.

  • 4/5 eatcheapwithmei 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to have a big group dinner, especially with the self-checkout doohickey! We were able to split the bill across multiple cards at our table. We did the full experience with market table (salad bar). Even though we were a big group, and the restaurant was busy, they managed to keep track of our red/green cards and came by the table consistently with meat. Sometimes the meat were over- or undercooked but it was still a great meal and experience. We also enjoyed their all day happy hour!

  • 5/5 DR 2 years ago on Google
    Great service, amazing food, worth to try if you a steak lovers! Side dishes are delicious, you should try the caramelized banana too! It looks like a formal restaurant but you’re not gonna feel pretentious, the waiters are friendly! Will go back for sure!

  • 5/5 Monir H. 2 years ago on Google
    Good tasting meat leg of lamb was the star of the table also the lamb chops was excellent, plenty of food to go around Recommend but $$$$

  • 5/5 Jackie B. 2 years ago on Google
    Dining at Fogo is truly an unprecedented culinary experience. The food is so fresh that you can eat for hours and still feel incredible. The staff is not only so accommodating and attentive but you can truly feel how much they love their job and take pride in their work. (They even teach you Portuguese words throughout the experience!) I cannot recommend Fogo de Chao enough and I want to quickly mention that their Director of Sales, Benjamin Maddy, makes it so easy to plan an exceptional event. Fogo is our new go-to for all our dining and private event needs!
