Man, it had been years since I last visited a Fogo. I came this past Sunday 9/13 to celebrate my…read morewife and I's 1st wedding anniversary, woohoo! I made reservations for 6:15 ahead of time and was seated right away. Once we got to our table we were quickly greeted by our first waitress. She was nice but I kinda felt she had a concerned look on her face like someone just told her something that irritated her lmao. My wife said she felt she was giving her a dirty look. Idk. Not because of the waitress, I asked to move a table over because I preferred the view from there. We were initially behind a pillar. The vibe was nice and some patrons were dressed way more casually than I expected. I know it's not a super duper fancy place but still, it surprised me a little. When we moved over we had a few other people tend to us, but Michael was the main one who would continue to come by the most. He was awesome. Super polite and friendly, attentive but not overly. I went out of the way to stop the manager and tell her he was awesome. In the same breath, I said the same about a gaucho named Diego. Apparently he's knew, but he was very friendly and would make casual conversation with us. All gauchos were good, but he stood out. Shoutout Michael and Diego! To drink we had our waters and I ordered this bourbon drink that was good, and my wife had a sangria. The sangria was a very generous portion and she couldn't finish it. Onto the food! I wish I would've taken more pictures but I was in the zone! I only managed to snag a picture of their shrimp appetizer. It was 6 large shrimp with cocktail sauce. It was solid but I'd probably order something different next time. Now onto the meats! I said yes to every single piece of meat that was offered to me lol. Sadly, the filet mignon was my favorite and came out last. So good! Super tender and flavorful. Easily my favorite. I didn't get a chance to try the Parmesan chicken which I remember loving from years ago. Other meats were all solid as well. There was a spicy meat that was runner up. I did make two goes at the salad bar and loaded up on deli meats, cheese, salmon, and their chicken salad. The cheese bread they bring out to you is good too. They brought complimentary polenta and caramelized plantains that were very good as well. I'll definitely be back sooner than later, and maybe sooner than anticipated because I did receive a promotional text from them for 50% off my next visit. I left so full I felt I was sweating haha.

In my heart, Fogo will always be my first love for the "gaucho experience". But this sadly wasn't…read morethe Fogo I remember. I remember when Fogo first came to Houston around the year 2000. It was the pioneer of modern churrascarias before all the imitators arrived. I used to frequent the old Westheimer location across from Walmart often, and back then it always felt like magic. Admittedly it has been years since I've visited any Fogo, and I'd never been to the Woodlands location before. Before arriving, I had talked it up to my kid telling her stories of days gone by. As we walked, I was hoping the nostalgia would hold ... whelp it didn't. The staff was friendly as it always has been. But after the initial greeting our waiter disappeared. Never saw him again. Our plates were never swapped out like they used to do. And in fact we just kept eating off our used salad‑bar plate. So much for fine dining. And No pão de queijo! I kept telling my kid about the legendary cheesy bread here. We didn't get any. Nada. And in fact we didn't get any of the sides. And I eventually had to ask for the complimentary mashed potatoes after being well into the meal because my kid kept asking when the mashed potatoes would arrive. The asparagus on the buffet honestly looked like green beans -- a far cry from the thick, vibrant stalks they used to serve. I remember they were like stalks of carrots back in the day. Some of the meats weren't even warm. And some of the cuts were tough. No premium meats ever made it to our table. The green/red steak medallions on each table to flip over indicating "more meat!" used to feel like part of the whole experience -- solid, good heft, almost ceremonial. Now it's just paper cutouts. Not just this location but the Westheimer one too in this regards. It felt like Fogo was basically admitting they're cutting corners on the tiny details that used to make the meal feel more premium. And honestly, those medallions discs mattered. They made the whole "more meat / no more meat" thing feel official instead of arts-and-crafts cut outs they have now. And the flies here. Ugh. So aggressive and persistent. I have no idea how they got inside the establishment. But they were annoying and relentless. At the end of the meal my kid looked at me and said, "Can we just go to LongHorn next time?" I really wanted to pass down the magic that I had remembered, but honestly I couldn't argue with her. "You bet," I told her. It kind of reminded me of seeing Depeche Mode as an adult -- the nostalgia was there, but the feeling just wasn't. Some experiences are better preserved as memories, rather than trying to be revived and relived. This unfortunately was one of them. Sigh.

Their salads were fresh and there's a lot of varieties. Same idea as any table side service you get at other places, But this one had some great staff and the cuts of meat were so delicious and done to specifications. About $70 per person but it's all worth it. They even give servings of mash potatoes to go with your meals. All their meats were seasoned well and so tasty. They had some fancy drinks also that came with an experience. Very vice and upscale.

In general, I thought my steak was pretty awesome. And even was good, the next day. The tequila dessert was way too sweet, and we did not end up eating it. My husband loved the tres leces though. Service : the lady we had was very sweet and she had cute bows in her hair. That has nothing to do with anything I just thought it was adorable. The guy that refilled our water was so on point it was crazy. He did an excellent job. Atmosphere: I thought this place was cute. It probably could use a little bit of a refresh, but the hallway towards it is gorgeous. The decor feels a bit dated. And their a c unit or in general, their ac near the window is pretty terrible. Thankfully, the water guy was always on point otherwise, I'd probably be nauseous. Parking: parking is exactly what you'd expect for the waterway. It's not great, park where you can. Value: I think the value for restaurant week was really exceptional. I would have never tried this place prior but I'm very happy I did and would try again.

If you're in Kingwood and want actual good açaí instead of the watered-down version, this is the spot. Already a regular.
