The bowl of clam chowder was large and filling. The chicken pot pie was delicious...would have preferred a tad bit thicker. The Indian pudding was a great nostalgic dessert to have -- it tasted like a thick pumpkin pie, but with a bit of a chai type spice and topped with delicious vanilla ice cream. The root beer and draft beers were great!

Here it is a daily offering for lunch, though at a different price point on weekdays ($18.95/$9.50 age 10 or under) vs weekends ($23.95/$12 age 10 or under). The buffet is relatively limited, with white rice or fried rice, two dim sum options, one hot table area with appetizers, a noodle, and a selection of entrees, a short chilled area along the wall with dessert items, fruit, seaweed salad and edamame, by the sushi area with some rolls and sashimi, beside the two options of ice cream. Both coffee and vanilla ice creams were good! They take turns refilling the trays by preparing portions in turn, so we had to be patient for the sushi area to be refilled. I was happy to discover no celery in the spring rolls, and scallion pancakes and crab Rangoon among the appetizers. Meats were tender and managed to find vegetables in with the entrees. Bathrooms are located downstairs, down a relatively long flight of steps.

We surprised a family person with a trip to the new spot in town and to their surprise we also paid the bill. That's different. Anyways, on to my observation of "Prime 41" Ambiance: As I have said, I mainly am a pizza/Chinese restaurant person, but once in a while a steak is needed. I've been to quite a few of the posh steakhouses in the state, so it was nice to see how this one stacked up. When we got to the restaurant, it was just opening, so we were the first ones there. No one else was there or waiting. So for some time, we had the place to ourselves. As the denizens started to file in, the volume started to increase quite a bit, but we were still ok, being on the other side of the restaurant. Not bad decor, and the lighting was just fine. Still had that new restaurant look and feel to it. Service: Our waitress was young, very good and personable with us at the table. The bread was brought in a timely fashion, and she was very attentive to the needs of the group. Orders were taken correctly, tables had everything they needed, and if something was asked for, we got it. Food: When our meals finally arrived, they were smoking hot, done to order, and quite tasty. I thought that the portions were good sized, the veggies were cooked nicely, and the meat was cooked exactly the way I wanted it. In closing, there was nothing that I could say about Prime 41 on this trip there that "needed improvement" or they could do better on. All the boxes were checked, and they performed their tasks admirably for us during our time there. I would go there again for another outing. -S

I've been really excited to try this new place -- and while my guy enjoyed his steak (though he did…read moremention it was a bit too salty), I was disappointed by the French Onion Soup. I know it's a steakhouse, but I'm a bit of a French Onion Soup connoisseur, and I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, the broth had an odd mix of tangy and sweet that just didn't work for me. I couldn't even finish it. I'm a traditionalist when it comes to this soup, and I don't love when restaurants reinvent something that's already perfect in its classic form. There's a reason people order French Onion Soup -- we want that rich, savory, traditional flavor. To the manager/owner/chef: please, for the sake of soup lovers everywhere, bring back the traditional French Onion Soup. Some things don't need a twist. They just need to taste like... themselves. All this said, the staff was super nice - but I do wish they would've left a basket of rolls on the table instead of giving us one each with a tongue. And not sure we needed the cigar box of various steak knives presented to us...felt a bit dramatic and unnecessary, but nonetheless, we will probably give the restaurant another try at some point further down the road once they get their footing under them a bit more.

It wasn't busy inside so the vibes were a little down but it's ok. There were multiple stations but everyone was leaving as we walked in, so we had the whole room to ourselves. You choose a protein and then it comes with soup, salad, two shrimp, and either fried or white rice. I chose steak and my boyfriend got the chicken. He loved the soup and I liked the salad dressing. Our chef was talented and gave us a good show. He had cool tricks and was interactive. He even made our rice into a little heart for us. The food was tasty, the fried rice was my favorite. Plus my steak was cooked well. My boyfriend liked his chicken too and vegetables. It was cool to see the food being made, and the portions were huge--I had leftovers. We then headed to the bar where we gathered with some locals to watch the world cup game, the energy was really fun in here and bartender was nice. I hope this place gets busy because the food is good and they have a large space. It's located in a plaza so plenty of parking and not too far from Kimball Farms.

I don't usually post negative reviews, but after giving Fogo de Chão Burlington a couple of weeks…read moreto make things right, I feel it's important to share our experience. My daughter and I were looking forward to a special lunch together, but unfortunately it turned into one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences I've ever had. After waiting more than 20 minutes for my meal, I was served chicken that was visibly undercooked. I immediately asked to speak with a manager and explained that I was no longer comfortable eating meat. Instead of bringing a manager, I was incessantly pressured to accept another serving. I reluctantly agreed, only to receive another piece of chicken that was bleeding. It then took another 15 minutes before someone in junior management came to speak with us, and the only resolution offered was to remove my meal from the bill. No GM ever came by. I chose not to post immediately because I wanted to give the restaurant an opportunity to make things right. I contacted corporate and received an acknowledgment that my email had been received and would be reviewed. Since then, no one has reached out to have a conversation with me, no one has taken the time to understand the full impact of what happened, and no one has offered any opportunity to make up for what was supposed to be a special lunch with my daughter. What makes this especially disappointing is that Fogo de Chão has been one of my family's favorite places to celebrate. I've brought friends and family there for birthdays, Mother's Day, and other special occasions over the years. I was a loyal, frequent customer who enthusiastically recommended the restaurant to others. Mistakes can happen at any restaurant. What matters is how they're handled. Unfortunately, the lack of meaningful follow-up has been just as disappointing as the experience itself. As a result, Fogo de Chão has lost a loyal customer. I truly wish this situation had been handled differently.

Since they don't open until 4:00 PM and the restaurant wasn't particularly busy, it was surprising that one of their signature barbecue items was already unavailable. The service was friendly throughout our visit. Our server was pleasant, although we did have to remind them a couple of times about the straws and plates we had requested. The food itself was enjoyable. The agave-glazed wings were the best out of all our meals. Charred, flavorful, and something I'd definitely order again. The brisket was tender and well prepared, and while the burnt ends were cooked nicely, they were a bit sweeter than my personal preference. Unfortunately, the apple cider vinaigrette for the salad didn't agree with us afterward, although that may simply come down to individual sensitivity. Portions were generous, making the meal a good value. My only other suggestion would be to serve the food a little hotter, as everything cooled off fairly quickly. One thing this location has going for it is the convenience. There's plenty of parking, and it's much easier to get to than the Boston locations. Overall, delivered solid barbecue with generous portions and friendly service. If they can keep popular menu items like ribs available a little longer and tighten up a few small details, it would make for an even better experience.

The service was quick, the decor was beautiful, the water was good, the bathroom was spotless and the appetizer fair. Now the bad news. I ordered the Crispy Pad Thai, as I am a huge Pad Thai fan. Unfortunately, the dish was bone-dry and completely devoid of flavor, by far the worst Pad Thai, and my most tasteless restaurant dinner of ANY ethnicity ever. It was analogous to trying to eat damp straw. It appeared and tasted as if they crushed up a pack of the Ramen noodles that form the diet of many college students. I ate the 3 huge(but tasteless) shrimp and the few pieces of chicken that I could find in this mess, a little of the nasty noodles and left the rest. I was going to request sauce and some form of heat to try to make it more palatable, but unfortunately the only time that I saw my server after he delivered my dinner was when he brought the check. I overheard a nearby table extolling the virtues of their Chinese dinners, so maybe their other food is better and I just ordered the wrong entree. But, I will have a whole year to determine if I want to try something else on my next trip, or just write this place off. Let the buyer beware!
