We came here for a relative's birthday, and it was definitely a place for a special occasion. It's at a mall, so plan accordingly to give a few minutes to look for parking or navigating around as needed. There's not much of a waiting area if your party isn't all present. But there are a lot of tables and if you want rodizio, there are a few different types and quite the ample market bar. Some of the highlights of the cold food (which you can start going to after you order, include cold cuts, smoked salmon, a variety of fruits and vegetables, which is good because you need a little variety in content from the salty meats. I will say, one of the people in my party is very difficult and the waitress, Daniela was extremely helpful and got the assistant manager Rafael, to confirm they were able to cook a meal to their specific dietary specifications. Despite this family member not even thanking them, I thank them for going above and beyond to meet those demands. The rodizio ranged from sirloin, filet, picanha, ribeye to chicken (even bacon wrapped), lamb, and sausage. It's quite a parade of decadence. They were all very juicy and not too salty, they came around frequently, and you can also request a specific meat you haven't seen circulate in a while. I will say the the cheese rolls and the grilled cheese (Queijo Assado) topped with honey were also fantastic accompaniments. Overall, everyone was able to get what they wanted and plenty of it. We all left satisfied.

Went to Fogo to Chao in Willowbrook plaza for a birthday with 8 people today. We all ordered the full churrasco experience with a couple people getting the upgraded option. The service was very slow and unattentive. We had to ask for certain things numerous times. They seemed to bring the same cuts of meat avoiding the actual churrasco options as they are more expensive. It was still a nice time. The salad bar wasn't anything to rave about. Some highlights were the Brazilian lemonade, lobster Mac and cheese, the chicken with bacon, and the sirloin cuts of meat. The Seafood tower offering fresh seafood this just seemed to be very overpriced. The ambiance was very nice it seems very high end and professional but didn't it deliver on those expectations.

Market table bar

Wayne, NJ - we found ourselves here on Christmas day when the duo forces of indolence and holiday over-exertion led us to decide last minute to dine out instead of cooking an elaborate meal at home. Since I didn't plan ahead, the rodizio place I originally had in mind was fully booked already, but Fogo was ever the reliable standby. I love the Fogo in Manhattan, which you can always count on for a large group reservation or a last minute one due to its sizable space, and always enjoy the bountiful market table/salad bar as much as the meats, full of a great variety of antipasti, salads, charcuterie & cheeses, grilled & roasted vegetables, breads and soups, seasonal fruits and more. I was rather disappointed by the more modest market table spread at the Wayne location in comparison, as not everything tasted fresh and some items looked like they'd been sitting out a while. But no matter, we came for the main attraction of churrascaria, and stuff our faces we did! The servers arrived right away so we didn't have to wait. In fact they were so enthusiastic that they entirely ignored our table's "no thanks" sign the whole evening and kept coming up lol. Better than being neglected and having to wave down the food I suppose! For the most part, I enjoyed the survey of meats across categories - steak, chicken, lamb, and sausage, as well as the fried polenta (yum!) and maduros that were brought to us, though some meats were a bit dry. The servers seemed harried and didn't ask us what cuts we wanted (rare, medium, etc.) so we quickly learned to make our requests before the meat was sliced. The service was very kind however. My little one fell asleep on the way over having resisted his nap all afternoon, and snoozed through the whole meal (our corner booth was perfect), finally waking up after we'd already asked for the check, but the staff were sweet to still bring the food around and made sure he had enough to eat. I'm satisfied with the value of the full churrasco experience which had everything I wanted. You can add more premium cuts or seafood at an extra cost, or order à la carte for a single cut. Fair kids pricing too: It's half price for kids 6-12yo, and under 6 eat free!

Went here for a special family dinner out. Reservation was easy through OpenTable. The restaurant is huge, with lots of seating and beautifully laid out. The food is delicious and lived up to expectations. My favorites were the Picanha Top Sirloin and Ribeye. There was also this special Pork with Cheese that was good. I like fruits, and enjoyed the bananas, pineapple and papaya. Had dragonfruit for the first time, and I didn't find it special. We had the lava cake for dessert, and it was exceptional. They also have a tres leches cake, which I will try next time. The hostesses were not accommodating and need some extra training, but the rest of the staff was incredible. Cesar was very kind in gauging what meats we liked, and what else we wanted. Victor diligently followed up throughout the night. I spoke to Rafa, but he and the rest of the management team were doing a nice job.

Cheesecake brulee

I came here for my birthday with family. I didn't have a reservation but since it was only a party of 3, the wait wasn't too long. I got the churrasco which came with access to the buffet area. My mom got the salmon entree. I tried it and it was cooked amazingly. All the cuts of meat were delicious. The sides were tasty as well. My favorite was the cheesecake brulee. It's probably one of the best desserts I've had at a restaurant. The service was a bit chaotic. It was a full house so everyone seemed quite busy. Also they forgot to do the birthday design with my cheesecake so they had to give me a separate one with ice cream, which I appreciated. Overall, it's a nice restaurant with good food. But I would prefer to go during a weekday instead of a weekend.

Again! I am hooked on the quality and amount of food you get for the 72.00$ when you choose the full churrasco experience, to the great costumer service, to the attention by the managers at this location and by the consistency and precision the bartender Natalie makes the drinks. Seat are new looking and very confortable; is ambiance is welcoming. I recommend this location 100%

We came here for dinner on a Friday night. We made a reservation a week in advance and we're able to get a table just fine, the place does get packed so I would recommend making a reservation or calling ahead. They have two very big "rooms" and even smaller separate rooms for bigger tables so if you book for around 8-10 people I believe. As with most rodizio places, at the beginning, we only got chicken and not so good cuts but at the end we were able to get some really good ones. We were bombarded though once we switched our signs to "green" which was very overwhelming - I've been to other rodizio places and yes, they come to the table often, but this one was much more, which wasn't our preference at all. The bar for the salad and the sides was OK, I had a lot of options and I really did like their baked vegetables but considering other places I've been to, this one they didn't really stand out as much. I order their passionfruit caipiriña and I was really good, just very strong which for $10 was a pretty good deal! Because we were celebrating a birthday, we did get a dessert on the house, which was their version of Tres leches and I really did like it - they seem to have flambéed the outside of it, which gave it a very nice caramelized taste. Overall, I think it's nice to try for a one time occasion, but if you're looking for a really good rodizio place, there are better ones in New Jersey.

Salad bar

The meats are DRY. There's no other way to describe it. Overrated. Over cooked. Low quality. The service is slow! I asked for a glass of wine and watched the server take it on a tour of the entire restaurant. I ended up finishing my food before she ever brought it to me lol The servers are all very kind. They checked in on us and I gave my honest feedback. The manager on duty stopped by also. They gave us extra attention but that didn't make up for the lackluster food being delivered. The ambiance is nice, decent music. Not overly loud. Won't return and don't recommend.

I was so excited to try FDC in Wayne. The restaurant is gorgeous, beautiful interior, upscale appearance, huge elegant bar. The market table was so colorful, full of variety of cheese, salads, fruits and vegetables. But sadly, it was a straight downhill experience from that point. We started with Sirloin and Parmesan Pork which were good. Then it was a 5-8 minutes of wait time between each item. Eventually they started bringing them in faster. But quality and taste, lord have mercy. The lamb I got was raw, pure red in the middle. Other items like ribeye, steak, lamb chop, chicken were so overly cooked, they were impossible to chew. Most of them also lacked flavor. Grilled cheese was the best item in the whole churrasco for me. Final nail in the coffin was when I got the check, I saw we were charged $71.50 each for dinner experience, even though we were in for brunch experience that is $54.50 per person. When I pointed it out, the waitress asked me when did we walked in for lunch !!!! 5 minutes later she came back with a new check. Overall that was very disappointing for such renowned brand.

Nothing beats a meal cooked entirely from scratch. All meals are prepared from raw, basic fresh…read moreingredients instead of relying on prepackaged or processed foods. The whole experience brings out a sense of nostalgia for one's childhood at grandmother's house. Today, many scratch kitchens pride themselves on making something particular. Located at a strip mall off of Minnisink Road in Totowa, my partner and I decided on dinner at Robert's Scratch Kitchen for some of us as first-timer. The reservation was easily made via OpenTable. Upon arrival at this cozy, inviting, and relaxed BYOB establishment, we were greeted by the owner, Robert, and got a table immediately by the window. The menu featured a variety of Italian, seafood, steak, pork, and veal dishes that change with the seasons, including a full gluten-free option catered especially to those with celiac. Their usage of an iPad shows the rotated specials was a novel idea. For starters, we decided on the Artichoke Hearts and Apple Salad. Our main meal consisted of Linguini and Clams as well as Eggplant Parmesan. The food was constantly fresh and prepared exactly how we had ordered it. The portions were healthy portions. The price was comparable to the area. The staff was attentive and wanted to ensure that we were happy. Our server was Juan. We had a wonderful culinary experience.

I ordered the filet mignon, and the meat itself was very tender and delicious. The sauce, however, tasted a bit like packaged consommé and could definitely be improved to match the quality of the steak. My wife ordered the gnocchi, and they were very good. For dessert, we had the lava cake, which unfortunately was a little dry. Overall, the service was very good, and the experience was enjoyable. I'd give this place 4 stars.

I've been coming to this red lobster since I was a kid. Back when Kay was the hostess (god bless…read moreher). I stopped at this location three times this year and it's been a hard decline. The most recent visit I had yesterday has been by far the worst experience I've ever had at this restaurant. Two out of the three times I ordered the sirloin. Once medium and the other time medium well. Both times the steak came out rare. The first time I let it slide but the second time I had to say something to my server. Luckily the second time I had Anthony as my server, I've had him numerous of times in the past and he's always done a great job of accommodating. But my third visit was absolutely terrible. I went with my girlfriend for dinner Sunday night at around 7:30-8:00. There were probably 5 or 6 tables being served throughout the entire time we were there. After we get our appetizers I order the soy salmon and our waiter said it's not available because it's the weekend. This wasn't a dinner special or one of the specials from Monday-Friday, this was a regular dish. (I've never heard of a seafood restaurant that doesn't serve salmon weekend or not.) Completely confused about it I told our waiter I'll order later. After we finish our appetizers our waiter is nowhere to be seen. Had previously asked him for a water, but I had to remind him 20 minutes later when he was passing by our table. After about 25 minutes after that my girlfriend's order comes out and the waiter didn't even bother to ask what I wanted and just ran off. At this point I just wanted to get out of there. We had dirty plates still on the table from our appetizers and empty glasses. Not a single other server or busser came to pick up the stuff off the table. I've worked in the restaurant business before and that is completely unacceptable to leave anything dirty on the table while food is being served. By the time my girlfriend finished her food it was 9:30pm and it was just us and another table with at least 6 other servers talking and swearing around the dining room. Legit probably the most ghetto thing I witnessed at a restaurant. Payed the check and left at 10:00 right as the restaurant closed. We spent nearly 2.5 hours in a dead restaurant just to not have dinner. Had to stop next door to the Wendy's to actually get something to eat. This place sucks and is a horrendous excuse for a restaurant. Red lobster was far better when it was owned by Darden and had chefs and staff who genuinely cared about service. Please don't bother with this place and buy from a supermarket. Guarantee you it will taste better and not take as long to actually be served. It makes sense that there aren't too many of these restaurants around anymore. This experience is a big reason why.

But for the first several years there was an upscale vibe and guests dressed appropriately which made the experience feel premium. Now it isn't all that uncommon to see guests wearing worn out tee shirts, sweat shirts, flip flops, cutoffs, etc. Nothing crazy, but a collard shirt and no flip flop code would be a fair. With all that said, I love this place and I think you will as well. Give it a try.
