Lunch Pan-Seared Salmon with Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Leah W.

This was my first visit to Fogo De Chão and was left underwhelmed. Among entering there was two other families with reservations waiting to be seated but there was nobody at the host stand so we were all just waiting around. I could tell they were understaffed as this occurred for the entirety of my stay. On this visit I wasn't in the mood for any red meats so I opted out of the Churrasco Experience but I will be back once more to try it out along with their market table as that's what they're most known for! I ordered the lunch pan-seared salmon and subbed the asparagus for mashed potatoes. The salmon was fresh and lightly seasoned but very overcooked. I mentioned it to my server and she didn't mind preparing me a new one. The second was cooked much better. The chimichurri sauce on top didn't have much flavor in my opinion. All I could taste was vinegar, oil and parsley. I really enjoyed the garlic mashed potatoes. They were buttery and had great flavor! Overall, I don't know if it was just the location, but the service wasn't great and the restaurant wasn't the cleanest. I'll give Fogo one more go, but a different location. Maybe I had my expectations too high but unfortunately I wasn't impressed.

I've been to several Fogo de Chão locations and have generally been happy with my experience at all. Our server Syed and the manager were great - they were more than accommodating, brought some comic relief to our lunch, and were so cordial and hospitable. My only suggestion for improvement would be for the gauchos to please indicate the temperature of the meat when offering it to the table and to please pay closer attention to the green card on the table. I was passed at least half a dozen times before we mentioned something about it to our server and the service did improve after that.

Brazilian Lemonade

Unfortunately, I still see a lot of room for improvement. There was quite a bit of confusion when we sat down. Even after placing our order, we had to request plates, and our first server later had to bring tongs over after noticing we had not received them. I'm not sure where the disconnect occurred, but basic table items such as plates and serving utensils should have been provided in a timely manner. I also noted in our reservation that we were celebrating a 74th birthday. We were only offered a candle after dessert had already been presented. I was later informed that the staff is not provided with the information guests include when making reservations. That was disappointing to hear, as details like special celebrations are important and would clearly benefit the staff experience and overall guest experience. Additionally, we were told the gift certificate included two meals, two non-alcoholic beverages, and two desserts, but it was apparently only tied to a specific dollar amount instead. That created confusion and different expectations. The biggest issue I continue to notice at this location is communication. There seems to be a disconnect between reservations, staff awareness, and guest expectations, and it significantly impacts the overall dining experience.

Second visit to this establishment- Our Server, Ariel did an outstanding job serving & taking care of us old ladies- very lovely decor. All the staff treated us with greatness & kindness. Food was amazing.

There will never really be much to complain about food-wise at Fogo de Chao. All steaks were good and the market table was enjoyable. The service however very disappointing. It was my first time at this specific location. We were about 10 minutes late to our weekday 12:30 reservation (reasonably late) but waited 15+ minutes to be sat down. Then upon sitting down no one had approached our table for another 5-10+ minutes. It was awhile before bread and drinks were brought to us and service was just not very attentive throughout the meal. The mashed potato and plantain sides also had to be requested when i haven't had to ask for them at other locations.

We visited Fogo de Chão for my birthday back in October. We've been many times before, but this visit just felt different. The service was okay and there was definitely no shortage of meat, but it also confirmed that we're just not buffet people--even when it's upscale. Even the seating felt off; it honestly reminded us of being back in Jamaica in July, sitting at our resort where meals were more exclusive and relaxed. Here, it felt like a high-end buffet with constant table traffic, which took away from the experience. Nothing was necessarily bad, but nothing really stood out either. Probably great if you love endless meat and that dining style--just not our vibe this time.

Beef Rib
Kyla W.

Came in today and was seated in the bar area with Maria. We were seated quickly without a reservation (2) & the service was phenomenal. The staff was just incredible. Joc consistently checked on us to make sure we were doing well and kept us refilled. The food was 100%. 10/10. We definitely will be back. It wasn't busy so the food came out very quickly. They have an all day happy hour so we ordered the lamb chops, filet board, chicken sliders, empanadas, beef rib, Gold rush, a Malbec and the happy hour burger. It was wonderful and we will be back!!

This is our second time at Fogo de Chao in cypress. We were greeted at the door, we had reservations and that is highly recommended. The lighting was dimmed and the music was not too loud where you can talk across the table. The table service was okay and was not spectacular. We kept having to ask to refill water, asking is there any meat because we got barely any meat served. The table would get offered servings of any kind of meat every 10 mins or even longer. You can literally look around the room and literally there was NO ONE serving meat to any guests at their table. No one got any type of beef, lamb, chicken for a good 5-10 mins. and if you did get offered meat it not hot, there wasn't a variety of beef the same 2 beefs / sausage were the only that did come around. I've been to multiple Brazilian steakhouse and this was VERY disappointing. The servers barely came around, completely ignoring our green/red cards. We had to repeatedly ask for specific cuts like the picanha, filet, which never appeared. I ask for fresh cheesy bread 3x to 3 different people . When the meat did arrive, it was either tough, extremely salty, or undercooked (still red in the middle when we asked for medium-well). Definitely NOT worth the high price tag at all; we actually left feeling incredibly frustrated and cheated. We spent $400 on salad bar, and a few pieces of meat. This is very sad and after writing this review and reading others I was not alone. All the tables were just sitting looking at each other, talking with no one walking around offering any sort of meat. This is actually really ridiculous and there should be servers bringing meats around non stop, to where guest have to flip their card red and when the plates are full of food. This was a total opposite experience, terrible experience and most likely my last time here. I will definitely not be back and prefer to go to other Brazilian Steakhouses that I know will provide a much better experience with a better selection of meat offerings or even offering meats more frequently then 1 every 10 minutes. Their sale of "endless meat" is FALSE Advertising. You get hardly any served to you, better go to a nice steakhouse do you really get what you paid for. Save yourself the money and time. I hope the manager / management team do read this review and consider on make a huge change.

Weird communal seating
Shantel K.

Absolutely horrendous, why fogo keeps building these called down versions is beyond me. You have a successful model on Westheimer . Why you build these cut down versions is beyond me 1.) seating is a weird bench and chair configuration which forces you to sit next to complete strangers 2.) wait spilled my drink all over my side of the table and my white dress was wet and stained service was terrible. I asked for filet 6 times. Waited 45 min to get 1 piece that was terrible 3.) Daughter found several pieces of bone in her steak she had to spit out. Unacceptable. 4) the grilled cheese was burnt . We asked for a different selection that was brought but with no honey . 5.) small salad bar selection 6 .) no one smiled or seemed happy to be there. It made us feel like we were an inconvenience and. It welcome. Tiny way to do fine dining, definitely wouldn't return. Could never get a manager to come to my table to discuss the issues so we paid and left waste of money and time

Stephenie B.

The entire staff from the hostess to the manager was top tier. Restaurant was spotless and the food was so good. I just got the salad bar because there was so many choices from charcuterie to the candied maple bacon droooolllllll!!!! I could have had a plate of the bacon and oh my god the cheesy bread. Reminded me of mini popovers!!! But next time I will go and do the meat as well. Drink was on point!!! Don't ask me what it was but I had THREE they were so tasty!! Had a business dinner meeting when I was in Houston traveling on business.

Today was the first time to visited Fogo Delicious food, amazing place, excellent service! Thank you Ramon for everything you are the best, I notice your smile and the passion for your job

Chau L.

We came here around 3:40 on a Sunday for a party of 4. We waited maybe 5 mins for a table. Service was great. The staff was friendly and attentive. They also offer valet parking here, but I don't really see the point in that since there's plenty of parking in the back. We opted for the full churrasco experience. We started off at the market table which included things like charcuterie, salad, fruits, and my favorite - the candied bacon. After that we enjoyed endless meats from ribeye to lamb chops to pork belly. Everything was great quality and delicious.

Sometimes a good dinner at the bar is all you need, and 48 definitely understood the assignment!…read more Stopped in for dinner and treated myself to the fried lobster and a cocktail. The lobster was the star of the evening! There's something about a good seafood dish, a well made drink, and being able to sit at the bar and enjoy your own company that makes for a lovely night out. I also appreciate restaurants where you can have a full dining experience without necessarily needing a table or a special occasion. Sometimes you just want to pull up a barstool, order something delicious, and enjoy your evening. Definitely a nice option for a solo dinner, a casual date, or an evening out when you're in the mood to indulge a little. And yes, I'm always here for a restaurant that makes dining at the bar feel like an experience of its own. Good seafood and a cocktail will get me every time!

This place is interesting. I've always heard of it but never quite found interest in going. Well I…read morearrived and it was everything I expected it to be. I found this place to be underwhelming. Our server was nice enough service was not bad, they were efficient. The seafood is not wild caught and the prices do not align. I ordered the superfood salad um...there was nothing super about it. It was very underwhelming and quite disappointing. I also ordered the whipped sweet potatoes and the crispy shrimp. Crispy they were not and they weren't good they weren't either..

We enjoyed a glass or two of wine, tossed some darts, and soaked in the relaxed, unpretentious vibe. It is casual in the right way. Easy to talk, easy to stay, and not trying too hard to be anything other than a solid local bar. The real highlight, though, is Posty the bar cat. An adorable black and white cat who clearly runs the place. Getting to know Posty outside was an unexpected and genuinely charming moment that made the stop memorable. If you are a cat person, this alone will win you over. Even if you are not, it is hard not to smile. Great drinks, darts, friendly energy, and a bar cat that steals the show. Post Beer & Wine is exactly the kind of place you hope to find when hopping around Houston, and absolutely worth a stop even if you are not on a crawl.

Outstanding dinner. Food was perfectly prepared and service was excellent. Highly recommend !read more

Me and a friend came here on a whim. We were in Houston and was headed to one place when we…read morestumbled across this place. We walked and and you had to have reservations however they had 2 spots at the bar upstairs so we sat there. It was a fine dining place and we were a bit casual but still nice where we didn't stick out so terribly..lol SERVICE: We were probably at the bar I would say at least 10 mins before anyone greeted us. And 2 ladies to our right may have been there I would say about 15 mins before us, only b/c they didn't have anything in front of them just yet. Looked like thwy hadn't been there long, however, evwrytime I turned around this guy kept checking on them making sure they were good. He seemed to be some sort of manager. Anyhoo, finally a server came and greeted us. She had a unique name that now I have forgotten, but anyhoo, she was really nice. It was restaurante month there so we took advantage of there pre-made menu that came with a 3 course meal excluding drinks. We were served our drinks and not to long our apps. And the ladies next to us may have been 5 mins in between us ordering. However their food would come out fast. Once our apps were finished I know it had to have been 20 mins or longer before our food came out whereas the ladies next to use finished there apps not to long before us and had their food in the next 10 mins or so. They were actually just about done eating their main course and our food hadn't even came out yet. Then a server brought us over the desserts and I was like we hadn't had our meal yet. At this point I was a bit upset b/c I felt like since we were 2 women of color we were being over looked. There wasn't many ppl of color in this place. Matter-of-fact I think I only saw one other table that had ppl of color sitting at it. Other than that it was just us. So I th3n ask for a manager. He came, same guy that had been fawning over the ladies next to us, amd he gave some lame excuse for th3 delay and mix up with the desserts and offered us a glass of Champagne, I don't even like Champagne, he could have offered either a drink of our choice of maybe a bit off the bill for the delay. I understood it was busy, but they also know it was restaurant week and they wasn't a delay with the ladies next to us. So I felt like he was a bit dismissive and I did t appreciate it. If it hadn't been for the service or our waiter we might not have stayed. FOOD: Now I will say the food was soo good. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the beef salad although it came stacked and looked so great and my friend had the meatballs which she raved about. For dinner we both had the salmon which was superb. So no complaints here. Then the desserts. I had the carrot cake and she had the chocolate genache cake. They were delightful AMBIANCE: It was packed but not uncomfortable it was just a lot of ppl. But it also was quite a big place. They had a downstairs, upstairs and an outside area, so lots of seating, however they were extremely full. The bar was quite roomy and luckily we were able to take the end corner part which was perfect, b/c not a lot of ppl passing by us. Like we had our own little section. All in all is was nice, I would only go back during restaurant month or with a date who was paging b/c outside the prepaid menu which was $55 (not including drinks) most meals went from $40-$200pp and that is no exaggeration. So yea it was quite the fine dining experience.

Dan was absolutely incredible. So personable and so kind. Anytime we asked for a food suggestion or…read morea drink suggestion he gave us the best options and was so honest as well. The food was delicious the pastas were great. I think we literally ordered everything off the menu. We had the oysters on a half shell calabrian chili mignonette and that was a good 7 out of 10. It had a tangy or citrus aftertaste I didn't like too much. We have the Polpette which are classic meatballs with tomato sauce and with ricotta. I'd say these were a good 9 out of 10. A solid meatball with good flavor. Robust. Rich. The rigatoni ala vodka was delicious. It had tomato cream sauce with Parmigiano-Reggiano and it's a good 9 out of 10. We actually had a second order of this! The Caesar salad was delicious and rich. All the flavors and seasonings on top.. just like I like it. Every lettuce was covered in Caesar dressing and it was super yummy. The cacio e pepe was yummy. I had a parmigiano and black pepper. Overall the pastas were just really delicious. I would give this a 10 out of 10. We ordered another round of this one as well. The Tuscan fried Chicken had artichokes and lemon and garlic aioli and we would say this is a solid 9 out of 10 as well. It was well fried and well coated with good ingredients and flavor. The veil Bolognese was okay. Not my favorite but it wasn't bad. But definitely not something I would order again. Maybe a 7 out of 10. We also had the grilled shrimp skewers that were covered in Olive oil, salt, calabrian garlic butter, and lemon. A solid 8 out of 10. I mean, I know you can mess up shrimp but.. not shrimp skewers. So these were quite yummy. I will certainly visit again because we just had these happy hour items since we were there for business meeting. I would love to have dinner and see how that menu is!

The biggest surprise was toward the end of dinner when a cockroach jumped onto our table. Definitely not ideal, especially for a restaurant at this price point. We ended up moving inside to finish our wine at the bar, and I will say the atmosphere inside was MUCH better. There was live music, and it made the space feel lively and fun. The food itself was good, and we enjoyed our dinner, but overall I felt the prices were high for the level of service we received. I think there's potential here, especially with the great indoor atmosphere and live music, but I'd hope the service and cleanliness issues were just an off night.
