We celebrated our birthdays here and had such a great experience at the Wayne location. The…read moreambiance was chic, modern, and really set the tone for a special night. We started with drinks, several of us ordered the caipirinhas, and they were delicious. The salad bar offered a wide variety of options, though I do wish there had been more fruit selections. Service throughout the evening was excellent. Our party went with the unlimited churrasco experience, which was fun and interactive. You are given a coaster with red and green sides to signal when you want more or when to pause. The meat selection was impressive, with a steady flow of picanha (prime sirloin), filet mignon, ribeye, garlic steak, chicken, pork, lamb chops, and sausage, all well-seasoned and flavorful. My personal favorite was the pork belly, especially with the honey drizzle, such a perfect combination. My least favorite was probably the chicken, I thought it was a little bland and needed more seasoning. I do wish shrimp had been included in the churrasco rotation, but it is available to order separately. Our main server, Mary, along with the rest of the staff, was incredibly friendly, attentive, and efficient. To end the night, we tried several desserts: key lime pie, tres leches, brulee cheesecake, and molten lava cake, every single one was a hit. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and I would definitely come back again.

Unfortunately this was by far the worse Fogo de Chao experience we had. Not only was the service…read moreinconsistent, but the selections from the salad bar was not fresh, and the seasoning on the meats were inconsistent, with some pieces either being completely unseasoned, and some being extremely salty where it was inedible (as evident on the filet mignon where you can literally see coarse of salt on its surface. We requested specific pieces from Angel and other waiters, where what we requested never came. The servers bringing the meats around also stopped coming to our table despite our mark displaying "Yes, Please" for over half an hour. At the end no additional meats ever made its round to us, so we decided to leave. This was by far the worse experience we ever had at Fogo de Chao. Most other times, we would be completely satisfied where were offered more than enough, and the selections would be fresh. In the photos below, you can see how unripe the pineapple and papaya both were, with the salad dishes being displayed almost empty without being refilled. We came at 5pm on a Tuesday so they really weren't that busy, with at most 6 tables. We mentioned the issue with the overly salty cuts of meat to Angel, but ultimately nothing was done about it. Overall, this experience unfortunately tarnished the great reputation of other Fogo de Chaos, which will make us second guess next time we think about having Brazilian steakhouse. This was doubly unfortunate because the restaurant itself looked so classy, warm, and welcoming, with so much potential of providing such an elegant dining experience...which sadly wasn't the case for my family. Thus, I cannot in good conscience recommend this branch of Fogo de Chao.. Thank you for reading and best of luck!

We also each got an empanada. I loved my chicken empanada and my friend enjoyed his beef one. The third member of our party had the 1/2 grilled chicken, 1/2 Brazilian chicken platter.

The sides of mixed veggies, black beans and sweet plantains were added pluses. Passion fruit mousse was a standout dessert. All good portions, lovingly plated.

It was our 1st time here and the waiter did a great job of explaining how everything works and how the food will be served. We got the full experience. The salad bar has waaayyyy more than just salad but don't get caught up there bc when they start bringing the food/meats to your table you might be a little overwhelmed. I tried everything lol. I had a lamb chop for the 1st time it was amazingly delicious. Flank steak might be new favorite cut. Filet mignon wrapped with bacon. They just keep bringing food to you like you're a "King" or "Queen"!! There was the grilled pineapple and they also had this honey cheese. I'm getting hungry and having flashbacks as aim writing. I can't wait to go back. It's a very nice intimate setting with music playing but just loud enough to hear and still have a conversation. I will definitely be back soon. It's so much more I can say but I think you have to just experience it for yourself. Also remember this all you can eat so bring your appetite. Next time I'll add more pics. Had to enjoy the moment!!

The steaks were good, little chewy but that's just the cut of meat. There was a ton of rice and beans, and a vinegary sauce. We liked the fried banana too. Overall it was very filling. Ingredients probably not the highest quality, but this will feed a big family and was not too expensive.

Our drink was always refilled and we had different workers asking us how everything was through the whole lunch. Everyone was very attentive the whole time! Atmosphere was calm and great to have a family/friends lunch/dinner here. Will definitely be coming here more often as well as introducing it to family and friends.

They had a wide variety of food, all ranging from beef, pork, chicken, seafood, and some vegetarian options. They had an extensive wine menu, and my boyfriend joyfully enjoyed a glass of wine. I got the brazilian fried chicken, which was extremely flavorful, and i was surprised there wasn't any breading on the chicken as typical fried chicken does. I much preferred the no-breading style, which I think is the Brazilian way. I would have preferred a boneless dish, as there were quite a few pieces with bones, and it was pretty oily at the bottom of the dish. It came with two very large sides, and totaled around $25. 100% would recommend this dish, but I do think at a lower price point, this could make do with just one side, instead of two, as the main dish was quite large enough to fill me up. My favorite part of this meal was the garlic butter bread that they provide for free. It comes out extremely fresh with lots of chopped up garlic, which is my favorite part of garlic bread. It was a great way to start the dinner off. The service was great and the waiters were extremely attentive. They regularly checked up on how we felt about the food and filled up our drinks. The restaurant was pretty empty while we were dining, but the space was laid out very nicely and the decor was beautiful. Would come again if it wasn't so far!

This may also factor heavily into why he's my fave person but that's neither here nor there. We had a res for 12 o'clock weekend brunch. There's just something about beef rib with a side of made-to-order omelette that can't be beat. In my side hustle I grade middle school standardized tests. Our instructions are to grade ::holistically:: such that we look for what is done well and don't let a couple of errors that don't disrupt meaning tank the score. This was our experience at Fogo Sunday - some odd things but an overall fantastic experience that will keep us coming back: We had an Open Table at 12 yet were somehow seated behind walk-ins. When we were finally seated the hostess was super attentive to my seating requests - you know Mands DOES NOT DO arms with chairs. She got us a prime banquette seat right by the salad bar. Drusband ordered a pour of McCallan 15 and it came back on the rocks. When we got that fixed a manager brought out the bottle and did a tableside pour. We love to see it. Fogo I love you but yall be keeping that beef rib under lock and key. I requested it and got a plate served directly to me. I'll allow it. We asked our waiter to take our pic and attentive staff asked what we're celebrating - got our fave cheesecake as a gift. Was the experience seamless? Nah. Was it amazing all the same? Absolutely. The meats were delicious, the salad bar was fresh, the woman making the omelettes was ::on it:: and the staff was eagle-eyed. Also, we tore that cheesecake up last night. Thank you for a memorable 18th - I'll be back in a month to celebrate my birthday!

My family and I came for a meal because we had just experienced a difficult death in our family…read more After a few days of being cooped up in the house, we decided to go out to dinner. Service started off good for the first 20 minutes. We ordered the Full Churrasco Experience, and after getting our sides from the Market Table and Feijoada Bar, servers came to our table about five separate times. We didn't take meat during some of those rounds, waiting to see what else they may have brought out, but after that it was radio silence. We sat for over 25 minutes without anyone coming by. They completely bypassed our table. No one came to offer meat, clear our plates, or even check in to see if we needed drink refills. Some of our plates started to pile up after eating some of the warm sides like the pão de queijo, caramelized bananas, crispy yuca fries, and garlic mashed potatoes. We were distracted with conversation, but after about 15 minutes I realized I was actually getting hungry. I thought to myself, why am I hungry at a restaurant where they're supposed to continuously serve meat, and I had disc flipped on the green side. I spent the next 10 minutes observing to see if maybe there was an issue with the kitchen, but there wasn't. I could clearly see servers coming out with meat nonstop, they just were not coming to us. We were seated further into the restaurant, the booth adjacent to the Feijoada Bar, and it made it very easy for them to overlook our table. The table next to us had already left about 15 minutes after we were seated, so I guess there was not much reason for them to come to our table. I eventually had to WAVE a server down and ask if there was a limit to how much meat we were allowed to have, and he said no. While I was speaking to him, two servers came out of the kitchen with meat, bypassed walking past us, and walked into a room to serve other guests. I even pointed it out to him. After I raised my concerns, the manager stopped by our table to apologize. Then an unlimited amount of servers started to come by our table with meat. At that point, what was left of our warm sides were cold and the experience was already disappointing, and I was pretty much ready to leave. The food was okay. I did really like the pão de queijo and garlic mashed potatoes. But I think that this restaurant mainly focuses on meat, and the meat itself was not outstanding enough for it to have more of a lasting impression on me, than the sides. The quality of the food was good, which is why I did not give a one star rating. I liked the roasted eggplant from the Market Table section. But there was not much flavor in the Feijoada, I'm not sure if it was actually Feijoada or just black beans. For that to be Brazil's national dish, and one of my favorites, it was pretty understated here. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated, but the service is ice cold! They could definitely improve on their service. On top of that, some of the servers didn't even know what they were serving. I would ask, and they would say they weren't sure. Overall, I'm not interested in visiting this location again because of the disappointing service and subpar food.

My husband and I came to this steakhouse for Valentine's Day dinner--it was our first time. We made…read morea reservation for 9:00 PM and were seated by 9:03 PM. I even received a rose for the occasion! However, we waited 10 minutes before someone finally approached us and asked, 'Is anyone helping you? Are you okay with tap water?' I understand it was a busy Valentine's Day weekend, but I expected a proper greeting rather than just being asked about tap water. When she brought the water, she asked if it was our first time. We said yes, expecting a brief explanation of the restaurant's concept. Instead, she just said, 'Technically, the meats will come to you, and you can go to the market and get anything you want. That's our special for tonight, you can go ahead and head over to the marketplace.' We went to the 'marketplace,' and it was delicious! We tried several items, and everything was tasty and fresh. Salads. Cold cuts. Rice. Beans. Zero complaints there. Back at the table, the gauchos began bringing the meats--filet mignon, picanha, sausage, bacon-wrapped steak, chicken, and lamb. Everything was cooked to perfection. The service, however, stayed subpar. My mango caipirinha arrived five minutes later, but my husband's Coke never showed up. We waited all dinner for it and never received it. Our waitress only came back once because we flagged her down for water, and then again for the check. Even the tables around us were wondering where she was. This was extremely disappointing!!! Zero smiles or a nice tone from Her. The food was delicious (5 stars), but the service she provided was definitely 0 stars. I want to come back for the food, but the service is making me think twice. Mi esposo y yo vinimos a este steakhouse para la cena de San Valentín; era nuestra primera vez. Teníamos una reservación a las 9:00 PM y nos sentaron a las 9:03 PM. Incluso recibí una rosa por la ocasión. Sin embargo, esperamos 10 minutos hasta que alguien se acercó y nos preguntó: '¿Alguien los está atendiendo? ¿Está bien agua del grifo?'. Entiendo que era fin de semana de San Valentín, pero siento que debieron habernos saludado formalmente en lugar de solo preguntar por el agua. Cuando trajo el agua, preguntó si era nuestra primera vez. Dijimos que sí, esperando una breve explicación del restaurante. En cambio, ella solo dijo: 'Técnicamente, las carnes llegarán a su mesa y pueden ir a la barra y servirse lo que quieran. Ese es nuestro especial de hoy. Ok, pueden pasar al marketplace'. Fuimos al 'marketplace' y estaba delicioso. Probamos varias cosas y todo estaba muy rico y fresco; cero quejas sobre el buffet. De vuelta en la mesa, los meseros empezaron a traer las carnes: filet mignon, picanha, salchicha, carne con tocino, pollo y cordero. Todo estaba a la perfección. Sin embargo, el servicio dejó mucho que desear. Mi caipirinha de mango llegó a los cinco minutos, pero la Coca-Cola de mi esposo nunca llegó. La esperamos toda la cena y nunca la trajeron. La mesera solo regresó una vez porque la llamamos para pedir más agua y luego para la cuenta. Incluso en las mesas de al lado preguntaban dónde estaba ella. La comida estuvo deliciosa (5 estrellas), pero el servicio que ella brindó definitivamente fue de 0 estrellas. Quiero volver por la comida, pero el servicio me hace dudar.
