    Went here tonight and was not impressed. The two people at the front gave conflicting information about being seated took me to a table while the other said I had to wait for my party to arrive to be seated. When it came to the drink server she was gone through the dinner. I ordered wine and it took forever and when she did bring it she made an excuse for the delay. When it came to getting the check two different servers were gong to get it for us and took a long time to come. As for the food majority of the meats were over salted to the point you can eat it. This included the filet minion while the chicken was very dry and the bacon that wrapped it was very over cooked. The food bar had a number of things that were out and it wasn't till our meal was over that they replenished items. Question is would I go back and the answer is probably not.

    Another visit for an absolutely fantastic dining experience. Let's start with the parking - plenty of it and free. Next, as soon as you enter the building, the smells of cooked food and the sound of Brazilian music greet you. Along with a friendly lady who seats you in a pleasant dining room. The service is quick and efficient, and you control how fast you want to have your meat. As for the food, well, this is why we really come here (often). The buffet salad bar includes salmon and soups. We had a lobster and shrimp starter as a part of my birthday reward. As always, the meat choices are excellent and friendly servers will cut you as much as you want, or don't want. Bonus servings of simply delicious, mashed potatoes, fried banana, and to-die-for small cheesy muffins. Brazilian lemonade to top it all off. We really like this place and plan to return many more times.

    This review has been sitting in my drafts box for a while now. This review is from a little while ago, so now sure if the staff has changed now bud. I had Mixed Feelings - Amazing Servers, Poor Management Judgment The servers at Fogo de Chão Albuquerque are absolutely top-notch. Shoutout to Youseff, Jillian, and Aden--you all made the evening feel warm, welcoming, and fun. There are honestly several great team members here who work hard to provide an excellent dining experience, and it shows. Unfortunately, the reason I'm leaving a low rating is due to a disappointing interaction with the restaurant manager, Jared Snyder. I came in to relax and enjoy the night with friends. While I do have a very high tolerance for alcohol (I can easily handle 15+ drinks), I had only 4 drinks and was nowhere near intoxicated. Yet Jared took the word of a 19-year-old server, who--while undoubtedly well-meaning--is not even of legal drinking age and shouldn't be in a position to judge someone's sobriety. To make matters worse, Jared admitted we appeared completely sober, but still refused to allow us to order another drink, simply saying he couldn't overturn the decision of the underage server. There was no apology, no effort to resolve the situation with professionalism or courtesy--it felt dismissive and tone-deaf. On the other hand, Youseff, again proving his leadership qualities, came over, apologized sincerely, and took the time to speak with us like adults. He quickly recognized that we were coherent, respectful, and simply trying to have a good night out. He went above and beyond to salvage the experience, and honestly, he should be the one managing the place. Fogo has great food, excellent service staff, and a fun atmosphere--but management should seriously reconsider who's empowered to make key judgment calls on guests. A lack of common sense and empathy from leadership can quickly ruin what would've been a fantastic evening. Even corporate was very bland and dry about how they handled it.

    Busy night.

    I thought returning years later for another birthday dinner would be a celebration to remember. The buffet wasn't special and didn't taste fresh. Too many waiters repeating what we need as I dropped my knife took many waiters were successful to replace. The place is pricey which does not reflect their staffs to food.

    Caprese salad with a shiso/perilla leaf. I positioned the shiso leaf so I could photograph it.

    Ordered delivery caprese salad. It was packaged horribly in a too small plastic container. The tomatoes were underripe, cut too thick. The mozzarella was typically bland, and some of the basil was shiso/perilla leaves. Totally different flavor. I called the restaurant and the manager did not deny it. All she could offer was I come by the restaurant and pick up some basil. I didnt want to go anywhere. That's why I ordered delivery. Misrepresentation of a menu item. I like shiso. It's a relative of basil but it's not the same flavor. The tomatos were inedible. The entire salad was flavorless except for the shiso. Totally disappointed by this restaurant chain.

    After the fiasco in Rocklin, I told my husband we were NEVER going back to a Fogo ever again, but he REALLY wanted to go celebrate his retirement with Brazilian meats, so I capitulated. I am SO GLAD I DID! The entire staff were absolutely amazing, but none more than JT. A manager with a water pitcher, not too proud to fill guests' glasses?! That's the sign of an excellent restaurant TEAM. The food was to die for (but we never did see any grilled cheese come around, which was a slight disappointment), we had our own table (no shared benches with people hitting me with their coats), and they made sure my husband felt special for his celebration. The restaurant is LOUD, though, so make sure you have earplugs if you're sensitive to noise.

    We decided for some Churrasco on a Friday night because we were in the area. We had a good time, we didn't take any pictures of the meat after hitting the salad bar because we were hungry. Service was good, there always around seeing if you need anything or if there is a particular piece of meat you're waiting for. I will say they'll still come to the table with meats even if your card is red. Sometimes they skip your table as there was a couple close by to us who wanted some sausage that we passed on, but the server over looked them. It wasn't intentional, but it can suck if you're waiting on something you want. There was a Picanha that was really good, I ended my meal waiting for it to come back. It was too salty on the 2nd round I had, but it was the best protein I had all night besides the little lamb chops that were cook perfect and so tender eating it like a lollipop. We heard the brunch is good, so we'll come back for brunch sometime.

    Apparently all the time. They're always telling people they have to wait over an Hope for a table and never honour reservations. Save yourself the trouble. Go somewhere else

Yes it's divey, but in a way that taste buds don't care about. If you recall Hell or High Water, this feels like that cafe, but less sassy a wait staff. Decor is lots of old wood, leather booths, neon signs. It sort of feels like Old Vegas. Old, but not run down, classy in it's age. Drinks are dive bar classics Cape Cod on a menu, Sutter Home and Cavit. LIIT, lmeon drop, tequila sunrise, what are we 12 now. I actually like a bohemia, shiner, guiness (not on tap) with my dinner. Their early week special is a 14oz boneless strip which is beefy and juicy, don't over cook this as it will toughen up. Their late week prime rib is thick, tender and wall to wall pink. They do have horseradish if you ask. Their ribeyes are on the smaller side, but very good quality. They have their own butcher and not a chef who does the butchery. The baked potat is generous sized and well accompanied. Prices are decent, quality is good and portions are excellent. Feels more midwest than southwest in vibe, but the Greek immigrant influence is interesting as I'm curious how Bakalava and dolmas and a shish kabob might taste. The Ham & cheese and grilled cheese just seem out of place, but not more than seeing Milk on the menu.....with sizes offered. My ideal meal here is the late week speciall prime rib, with fried shimp and chopped green chilis. Fried mozzarella sticks and a shrimp cocktail to start. They let you order cold center which is how I like my porterhouse and ribeyes. The salads don't come with tomatoes, but their burgers do, weird. Lots of Locals, but not a locals only joint, plenty of travelers being pointed this way makes this feel a little like a classy TRH.
