The venue itself felt polished and high-end from the moment we walked in. The meats were definitely the highlight of the evening -- top-tier cuts, well-seasoned, tender, and served fresh off the skewers with incredible flavor. Every selection we tried was juicy, flavorful, and cooked beautifully. You can tell quality is a priority here. The salad bar had a nice variety overall, but since our reservation was at 8 PM for a party of four and the restaurant closed at 9 PM, some items were no longer fully stocked by the time we arrived. Service was also a little slower toward the end of the evening, which seemed understandable given the late reservation and closing time approaching. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant, but I'd strongly suggest booking an earlier reservation to fully enjoy the entire experience, especially the salad bar and full pace of service. Even with that, the food quality, upscale atmosphere, and outstanding meat selections still made for a very enjoyable dining experience.

Disappointing Full Churrasco Experience…read more We visited Fogo de Chão yesterday and ordered the full churrasco experience, which is supposed to include beef ribs, bone-in ribeye, lamb chops, and several other specialty meats. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. We were seated by the bar and began with the salad bar. Even with our table marker on green, the service was very slow and inconsistent -- it took roughly 10 minutes between each plate, despite being right next to the grill. For meats, we only received: * Picanha * Bacon-wrapped steak * Bacon-wrapped chicken * Chicken leg * Parmesan pork * Sausage We never received beef ribs, bone-in ribeye, or most of the specialty items advertised in the full churrasco. We requested these multiple times to both the gaucho and our server, but they never arrived. Lamb chops finally showed up over an hour later, long after we were already full. Most of the cuts were dry. Our server, Aiden, was friendly and did his best, but my girlfriend never received her drink, asked for another side of mash which we never got . At that point, we had to downgrade our meal since so many items were missing. Overall, this was one of the most disappointing Brazilian steakhouse experiences we've had. Many of the promised cuts of meat were never offered, and the service left the full churrasco feeling incomplete and frustrating.

They had all the usual Thanksgiving foods along with the regular Texas de Brazil selections, so there was no shortage of options. The cranberry sauce wasn't my favorite, but the overall food and vibe made up for it. The servers *would not stop* coming by the table with meat selections, we could barely catch our breath before another skewer appeared. Not exactly a complaint, just impressive dedication. Our waiter, however, was perfect and kept everything running smoothly. The floors were extremely slippery, which was a little alarming, but guest services were excellent. We also made a last-minute reservation, and it was surprisingly easy. Overall, it was a fun, memorable meal and a great way to spend my Thanksgiving.

Very tasty Brazilian steakhouse in not the nicest place…read more I've been to this location twice before. They are across from a local cinema, with a little bit of parking in the front. There's a bunch of buffett tables with hot and cold dishes. You get a tin carry-out container, you fill it with what you want, then head to the spits to get your meats. The guys behind the counter will take out the meat you want and will carve you however much you would like. They charge by the pound, you weigh your foods then pay at the counter. It's very much like a buffett in terms of the ring out process. The foods fresh, tasty, and abundant. They are not labeled well, so some things are guesswork as to what you get. But although you can't identify some things, it's going to taste good. Price is reasonable for the portions. It's not pretty, but it's tasty

My…read morelunch certainly "filled me up", but like other fellow Yelpers have stated in their reviews, some of the meat selections were very salty. The meats that were not as salty tasting were on the bland side, I just kinda expected to experience "more flavor", and it simply just wasn't there. I lived in the Deep South for a year, and the Q found in that region simply blows away what I experienced today. Maybe it's not a fair comparison, but I couldn't help but think that. The location of the Banana Brasil Grille is conveniently located near Rt8, so it was easy to get back on to the highway to continue my journey after my lunch. Overall, I'd say it was a mediocre lunch, I can't see a reason for a return visit. A weak 3 Star Rating, IMO.
