The staff were all so friendly and kind, especially Milton the customer service representative! There were so many food options and all the meats they served were fresh and still hot. Overall wonderful experience! read more

We were four guys out to eat some quality meat and this place certainly delivered on that! The servers carrying around those flame grilled sticks of protein were doing a great job! At one point, I had to unfortunately flip my card to red because my plate was overflowing with meat! Our server at the table was also very good at getting our drinks in and removing excess plates. The salad bar was ok, there was fresh fruits and smoked salmon, some salad greens and of course the spicy sides...but the main star was always the meats and that was what our table focused on! Great staff, great food and a great experience! read more

I had high expectations for Fogo de Chão given its premium price point, but unfortunately, the experience did not fully meet them. While the quality of the food was good overall, the variety of meats served to our table felt somewhat limited. We were offered the same cuts repeatedly, and some items, such as the chicken hearts, were only brought out after we specifically requested them. One of the standout cuts of the evening was served around 9:00 PM, by which time we were already quite full and unable to enjoy it as much as we would have liked. Additionally, the chocolate molten cake was underwhelming and did not live up to expectations. I've had more satisfying experiences at other Brazilian steakhouses, especially considering the cost. While the meal was enjoyable in some respects, I expected a more consistent and memorable dining experience. read more

My wife and I made a reservation at Fogo de Chão in San Francisco after seeing a "Brazil Special" advertised for $49 per person. We even called beforehand, but apparently their phone system is now fully automated, so there was no actual human to confirm the details. We took an Uber all the way there, arrived excited for dinner, and were then told at the host stand that the actual price would be $80 per person instead of the advertised $49. No explanation, no flexibility, nothing. At that point we simply turned around and left. It was incredibly frustrating to waste both our time and money because of misleading pricing and the lack of real customer service. A restaurant at this level should have clear communication and actual people available to answer questions. Unfortunately, after this experience, we won't be coming back. read more

Can't do justice to the multitude of meats you'll be able to try here so I'll review the lesser known items on their menu! Highly recommend trying at least one slice from each meat so you know what to get seconds for. Personally, I found the Picanha to be one of my favorites! 4/5 - Cheese and Honey - Best to eat this fast as once the cheese cools it can harden and not be as soft as that first bite you take. You can ask for more honey on top if they circle back around. One of the best side dishes! 5/5 - Key Lime Pie - Soft and sweet! You'll enjoy choosing this as a dessert to top off your dinner experience. It might not look like a big slice, but you'll still find it quite filling! 5/5 - Cheesecake Brulee - Same with the key lime pie. The strawberry sauce was not too sweet or strong. Looks very aesthetic and also comes with great flavor. 5/5 - Caramelized Pineapple Old Fashioned - The strongest tasting cocktail that we tried. Still tastes like the classic old fashioned you've had but definitely one to sip while you chat at dinner. Highly recommend this drink! 5/5 - Premium Caipirinha (Traditional) - A great lime-flavored cocktail that is also fun to drink at lunch or dinner. If you like Cachaca, I recommend trying this out! It's not a cocktail you typically get at other bars. 5/5 - Yellowbird - Fruity flavor profiles complement the Blanco well and the design of the drink matches its name. If you like passion fruit and pineapple, you won't be disappointed. read more

Another great dinner at Fogo. There's a SF Restaurant week dinner promotion for $59. It is the same as "The Best of Fogo" deal $59. They now have an "All Day Happy Hour" menu with $10 cocktails and $6 beers. Separately, there's a "The Trilogy Collection", three bottles of house wine deal for $99. Their house wine is pretty good. Our favorite meat was the picanha, prime sirloin. Well, all the meats were pretty good. Love Fogo! Great job everyone. Special thanks to our waiters that never stopped refilling our water and wine. The extra sauces they gave us like chimichurri were all terrific. Such a beautiful restaurant. read more

Dropped in with my brother on a Tuesday for their $18 lunch buffet after seeing it advertised on social media and now I have added it to my rotation of best lunch deals in the city. It includes high-end items like aged cheeses, smoked salmon, charcuterie, and fresh hearts of palm that go far beyond a standard salad bar. All of the side dishes from the yucca fries to the caramelized bananas, and garlic mashed potatoes were delicious and quickly disappeared off their plates. Service was amazing with our drinks quickly refilled and our used plates cleared promptly without us having to ask. I'm offically hooked and will be back again soon for more! read more

Located on corner of 3rd St and Mission St near Moscone Convention Center. Recommend parking at Moscone Center Garage. The restaurant is very nice, lots of dining tables with a full bar, and large salad bar with a number of varieties of salad choices, fruit, cold cuts, cheese.... The major attraction of course is the parade of servers who come to your table with cuts of meats ranging from sirloin steak, filet mignon, lamb, chicken, tri tip, chicken heart, which are sliced off of a metal rod.The servers are all nice and professional Dessert especially the cheesecake is highly recommended. Bring your wallet because this wonderful dining experience ain't cheap. read more

What an amazing experience! Good: - I came here with a gift card from Costco, super worth it! - The salad buffet was amazing! So many options and it's unlimited - The single churrasco is more than enough, and the staff keep coming by to give you more slices of picanha and lamb picanha - Loved the fruit options, papaya cantaloupe, you name it - Love the cheesy bread as always, it definitely fills you up quickly! - The waiters brought us mashed potatoes and banana and other appetizers that were all so tasty. - Feels upscale and fancy for a date - Portion sizes are perfect, you won't be hungry after this Bad: - Can be pricey, but we got a good deal with Costco Overall this was a unique experience that I will be back for more for! read more

Came for an event and the cocktails were good. I enjoyed the wagyu steak the most esp if you like more of a medium rare or fatty cut. The seafood was a hit or miss for me. I had a lobster claw that was sweet, and another one that wasn't. Staff attentive and I enjoyed the space. read more

Went to Fogo de Chão for the $59 all-you-can-eat deal and honestly for the price I can't complain. My favorites were the picanha and the grilled pineapple. The meal also came with sides like fried bananas and mashed potatoes, which were just okay in my opinion. One small complaint is that we felt a little rushed at times. But the servers themselves were very nice overall, so we still had a good experience. read more

Came in for a late lunch and I was surprised by how limited the selection of food was. The salad bar was the same and great but I come here for the table side service. They bring out large portions of side dishes without asking if you even want them which some of them I didn't which I hate wasting food so I didn't love that. I ordered a lemonade that was excellent and didn't know that I'd be charged for a refill when the server asked if I wanted another one. Usually drinks like lemonade have refills included and it would have been nice to be informed about that before another one came. The food was high quality but the limitations were surprising. The pineapple that comes at places like this is one of my favorite parts of Brazilian BBQ and I was shocked it wasn't part of the experience. The lunch price wasn't much better than the dinner. If I come back I'd wait out for the dinner with the broader selection. read more

I visited this establishment for a weekday dinner in one of the private rooms, however the main dining area did not seem too busy at the time. The servers were polite and attentive throughout my dining experience. In addition to the usual meat carving and buffet style salad bar, a nice touch was having the seafood appetizer with lobster, crab, shrimp, and mussels. The meat service was as expected but I did notice the meats each felt a bit dry. I am a frequent diner at Espetus so I was a bit shocked at how dry each cut of meat was. For dessert, we decided to each order a different dessert and share so we got to try a little bit of each. We got the cheesecake brûlée, crème brûlée, chocolate molten cake, chocolate brigadeiro, and key lime pie; each of them were great and saved the meal for me. I would go back if I was in the area and would like to share the desserts again, but I think I would prefer to go to Espetus if I was craving Brazilian bbq. read more

The concept of unlimited meat is amazing if you're a carnivore and many of the cuts were excellent. That said, some of the seasonings were inconsistent, which was a bit of a letdown given the reputation. The gentleman serving the meat was excellent and explained everything, but the front desk staff weren't very welcoming. Convenient location and great for meat lovers, but service can be hit or miss. read more

The restaurant was beautiful. Crowded dining area. I felt like I was bumping into servers others diners too. Our Server was Mia. She was sweet and helpful. We were a group of 14. Excited to Dine at this restaurant. We wanted the Brazilian experience. Which would include 5 different meat cuts. The meat cut that was brought out the most was a sirloin cut. Most of our meal was the same meat cut. It was very very rare. We asked several times if we could have a meat more medium. That didn't happen. So we ate mostly the salad bar. Salad bar was excellent. However there were fruit flies in the restaurant. That was a bit annoying while eating. By the time different meat cuts were offered we were full. So it definitely wasn't experience we were looking for. There's always room for improvement. read more

We arrived on time for our reservation. Nobody helped us for more than 5 min. A hostess finally showed up and asked if we were helped and went to check our table. We waited another 10min but still nobody helped. It was 6:30pm and the restaurant wasn't so busy. read more

this place is too good. I mean, for AYCE price, very much worth it because there are expensive and unique foods all around as well as the experience of having the meats cut in front of you to your liking. whether you got a vegetarian or a meat lover's dish, everything was delicious and the presentation was elegant. staff was so welcoming from when you walk through the doors to wait for a table and even when you are seated to see which meats you want on your plate. conversations eased into the service smoothly where it did not feel forced or rushed. really enjoyed getting to speak to each staff member who came around our table to serve food, re-up on beverages, and ask how everything is going. dim lighting, so hard to capture a nice photo. super duper tight with the tables, so you can hear the conversations of other parties and you consistently bump into staff members when you scoot your chair out to get up. bathroom was soooo clean, omg. took time to really admire the decorations going on with the mirrors and stalls. I was just in awe everywhere that I was walking, which is especially difficult when everyone keeps humping into one another I took a bunch of selfies bc I felt pretty n cute, hehes and lols read more

This was, without question, the worst Brazilian steakhouse experience I've ever had -- and I've been to plenty. We came in with a party of eight, and the service was so bad it felt like we were invisible. They brought ONE filet mignon skewer for the entire table. One. By the time it made it around, it was basically a joke. We kept asking if more was coming, and all we got were empty promises. To make things worse, we actually had to get up and go ask for sides -- multiple times. At a place charging this much, the sides should be flowing without us having to chase anyone down. Instead, it felt like we were bothering them just by asking for the basics. Everything about the service sucked. Slow, unorganized, and completely uninterested in taking care of guests. For the price they charge, this was embarrassing. Save your money. There are far better Brazilian steakhouses in the Bay Area that actually bring food to your table and don't make you beg for sides. read more

First time here and I really enjoyed it! The salad bar was so nice with so many options, and we tried so many different meats it was almost overwhelming to me lol. Service was great, we never felt ignored or like there wasn't someone close by. To me it feels hard to make a place with a buffet feel upscale but they've done a good job!! read more

I wanted to thank everybody for this amazing service they did for my family on Mother's Day. They did a great job and I'm really happy that they were able to give us great service. A great customer service and most importantly really made my family. I really happy on Mother's Day and all the Mother's Day. That was there if you have a holiday come to photo to ciao for an amazing feast. I definitely highly recommend it and for the price is amazing and most importantly the drinks are amazing so definitely for your next family vacation. Get out there and enjoy it with your family. I highly recommend recommended the photo ciao on Soma. read more

Absolutely love this fogo de chao! The experience was so wonderful and the food was so delicious. The environment and the food layout were much prettier than the one in San Jose. The service was just ok though, nothing outstanding. The meat is on the rare side here compared to the one in San Jose. read more

We had reservations at 7:30pm on Christmas Day and didn't get seated until 8pm. The waiting area was outside so it was pretty cold but there was a lot of seating. The buffet was pretty mediocre as I wished they had more options for the salad bar but nonetheless, it was nice to have. The beef options were pretty dry as well as the chicken. Our favorites from the night were the lamb chops as well as the mashed potatoes and cheesy bread. This was an experience we've been wanting to try and glad we finally got to do it. Would recommend for the experience if in the area and looking for something fun to do! read more

I placed a large catering order (over $1,000) for pickup today, 03/24, to celebrate a staff retirement. The order was made in advance for an event that was planned and scheduled. When we arrived for pickup, we were told there was a private event and that all orders had been canceled. This was the first time we were hearing this--there was no prior notification, no call, and no email. We asked to speak with a manager, and while someone did come out, the interaction was brief and lacked resolution. We were simply told the orders were canceled, with no clear explanation, no guidance on how to obtain a refund, and no attempt to offer an alternative solution--despite the immediate impact on our event. This left us in a difficult position on the day of a planned celebration, without food and without clarity on next steps for reimbursement. This experience was disappointing--not only due to the operational breakdown, but also the lack of communication and accountability in handling it. At minimum, we would have expected proactive notification and support in resolving the issue. I am requesting immediate follow-up regarding the status of my refund and would appreciate clear next steps. Please do better, Fogo de Chão. read more

Came here to have a single dinner this Christmas. Made a reservation and was seated shortly after my arrival. All the staff were professional and friendly, especially the young Latina girl at the front door. Unfortunately, my waiter was not very friendly and disappeared a lot. I was able to order, but she never came back. She was an Eritrean young lady with a nasty attitude. I asked her for a 2 small containers and was planning on ordering dessert, eating some and taking the rest in the container. I live in the area and have come before and done the same thing. She starts getting an attitude saying they don't allow it and that she would only bring me one container and walked away. I decided to cancel my dessert and the additional martini I had ordered and leave the restaurant. I always tip good especially when I have good service and she missed out on a nice tip by having a nasty attitude. I paid and asked for my change. She took the payment and never brought my change back. I had to ask other staff for my change. I'm sure she was upset when she didn't get a tip and hopefully she learns a lesson it. Don't give the customer attitude if you want a good tip! My previous experience with a male waiter was awesome! He was very attentive and polite and he got a great tip too! Food was delicious I wish I had a different waiter so that I would've been able to leave a tip. I don't reward that type of behavior. read more

Disappointed and did not meet my expectations in service / food especially for the price. I came for Mother's Day with my mom and two children (kids eat free under 6) The host was very nice but as soon as we sat down our waiter looked irritated and like he did not want to serve our table. He didn't introduce himself and immediately started asking us for drinks when we barely even sat down and settled into our table. He seemed impatient, like he didn't want to be there or didn't want to serve us maybe bc we had kids. Overall wasn't friendly wasn't professional for a high class place like this. He barely checked on us and seemed annoyed when I asked him if there were any kids cups for their drinks. I did notice he was a lot more attentive to other tables who had a bigger party with them. Unfortunate that he didn't feel our small table wasn't worth his time. Especially on mother day!! The meat selection was tasty but we only had about 4-5 items which were the filet mignon, lamp, linguisa, and one other that I can't recall. Espetus has a better selection of meats based on my first visit to fogo de chao. I also wish they had some warm appetizers in the salad bar. Items that I felt should've been warmed like the asparagus and mushrooms were cold. The baked cheddar with honey was probably my favorite item besides the steak that I can't even recall which cut it was sadly. Ambiance was very pretty and the servers who came around with the meats were very nice and maybe it was just my waiter that was not pleasant. I would possibly try it again but I was highly disappointed that I was looking forward to a positive experience and left unfulfilled. Also, dessert is not included in the prefix ($80 a person!) read more

You can tell that they enjoy what they are doing. . They listened to my request on how I want my meat done and their portions. I love the Salad Bar .

I went went here during lunch. A coworker kept raving about their All-you-can-eat salad bar for $20. The place is nice inside and the customer service was great. No complaints. They provide complimentary cheeseballs. They're like puffy bread balls that lightly taste like cheese. They were good. I was expecting a really cheesy flavor but it's very subtle. The salad bar offered 2 soup options: Tomato bisque & black bean. Not sure if they switch the options daily or weekly but that's what they offered the day I went. As you can see in the pic, I'm not a huge meat eater so there's ONE slice of bacon. LOL. The bacon was nice and crisp. They marinate the bacon in maple syrup or something b/c it was sweet. It was good though. Salad bar: they had everything you would think of a salad bar: different types of greens, various dressings, beets, artichokes, fruit, cheese, potato salad, asparagus, deli meats, and so much more. If you're a huge meat eater, you can add on the option where they come around with various meats on a long metal skewer. They'll come by and slice some meat for you carnivores. The price is great considering a single salad order is generally $15-$20 anyway. My pics aren't the best but, I would definitely come back and hit the salad bar again. Thumbs up! read more

Extremely disappointed. We had a reservation but waited a long time just to be acknowledged, and service was inattentive the entire meal. Simple fountain drink refills took forever, and our waiter seemed to prioritize other tables over ours. At times, we felt rushed and singled out, and when I asked for the check mid-meal, he dismissively tried to take it back while I was still finishing one last bite. I spoke to the manager, who brushed it off instead of apologizing. After a dozen visits, one experience like this is more than enough to never come back -- let alone continue recommending this place. If you're looking for a mid-entry steakhouse, this is your spot, but management seriously needs to do better. read more

Went to dine here on what I thought would not be a busy night at all because of the holiday. Well I could not have been more wrong. We arrived a bit early for our reservation made weeks in advance as a birthday request. We drove past and saw what we thought was a few people waiting in line. When we arrived we were floored to discover they booked 2k people and they only hold 400! Surprisingly, not really.. hours were extended to midnight. I noticed people were holding flutes of sparkling wine, so I made my way inside to the bar I was not about to stand out there and wait for who knows how long without an adult beverage! When I approached the bar a male bartender snapped "there is only one per person!" I was completely shocked and confused. I said excuse me ? He repeated I realized the sparkling wine was complimentary and he mistakenly thought it was a "return" visit for me. I assured him I was one person. At this point another bartender served me a glass and I rejoined the mass of other waiting persons and yes, everyone also had reservations. I get they were extremely busy. However, in spite of this gross overbooking situation and this extremely disrespectful and rude male bartender the rest of the staff were the most kind , funny and helpful people. We were served by Bryce, we couldn't have had a better customer service experience such a sweetheart! In the midst of what I'm sure was the busiest night of the year so far! We choose the Full Charuscco Indulgence experience. It came with a lobster tail bathed in butter appetizer, so sweet and tender! No surprise, the salad bar was ravished! I enjoy the Fogo salad bar it's one of my favorite parts of the dining experience. This was a no win situation, I was seated Birds Eye view of the area and restock was slow or not at all for some items. There was a couple of patrons who were hovering eating mashed potatoes with their fingers and then grabbing the serving spoons. This behavior is so offensive and disgusting, please don't! Thankfully, we were already done. We flipped our circle cards over to green to indicate we were ready to start receiving delicious varieties of cuts of meat. We had our delicious warm and chewy cheese bread, polenta sticks and sweet banana appetizer, mashed potatoes. The stand outs for me were the garlic steak sirloin, garlic roasted pork, prime rib. I was a yes to those a few times. The lamb wasn't a favorite it was tough and the flavor wasn't there for me. I do enjoy lamb. Dessert was divine the crème brûlée cheesecake is indescribably delicious! It's cheesecake encrusted in the crunchy crème brûlée topping it's the best! I had a couple of French 75's or their version with St Germaine which is how I make my own, it was really good. Pro tip don't go on a holiday if you can avoid it! read more

I've been to the Santana Row location twice and had an amazing experience both times, so I thought I'd give the SF location a try. I have to say that I'm regretting it. The Santana Row location had tender meats and the service was excellent, but most of the meats at this SF location were tough to eat and our server was very slow and would only come if/when we waved our hand to get his attention. Having been in the food service industry myself, I can understand that one should be patient since each server is covering several tables. But this server just took our order and never came back unless we waved him down. And even then, he'd tell us to wait and then take a long time to get our drinks and check at the end. Considering that we spent over $500 and had such a poor experience, I won't be coming back. On a side note: two members of our party reported having stomach issues after. read more

I'm sure everyone knows all of the steaks and other items on the menu are good, especially the salad bar for fresh greens with all the meat.

The crème brûlée crust really takes a regular cheesecake to another level. I really enjoyed the berry sauce on the side for a little tart flavor.

It's fun to do this once a while, because there's 8-10 different proteins is being brought up to your table. Lastly, the Tres Leches Cake is absolutely amazing!
