    My team and I decided last minute to try Fogo de Chão, and we were thrilled to get a reservation for 10 people at 5 PM! For many of us, it was our first time, and the excitement was high. We kicked things off with wine, espresso martinis, and margaritas--great choices all around. The buttered bread on the table was absolutely delicious and a perfect start. We all opted for the walk-around meats, but honestly, the vegetable table stole the show for me. It was so impressive, overflowing with fresh fruit, salad ingredients, breads, rice, sauces, pickles, and so much more. I could have made a whole meal just from that spread! Once the meats started coming around, we were wowed by the beautiful, perfectly cooked cuts. It was really fun that we could request different doneness and try various cuts right at the table. Our waiter was friendly and super quick with service, making the whole experience even better. We had the best time! I highly recommend Fogo de Chão for any group looking for a memorable meal and a fun, interactive dining experience.

    Came in for a birthday dinner. As a pescatarian I didn't think I would have an option here but I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the salmon dish which includes the market bar. (market bar would have actually been plenty by itself) however I was disappointed all the veggies in the bar were cold- cold asparagus wasn't for me! The bar did have plenty of offerings with my favorite being the smoked salmon, fresh cheeses , the egg salad & caprese salads. The salmon dish on the menu was good as well, after squeezing the lemon, I liked how it came with a crispy outter layer but it was not breaded! the grilled asparagus it was served with was also great! To drink we had the strawberry hibiscus drink which was only 10 $ and curated perfectly! Had a great time, all of the staff was friendly!

    We sat at the bar and our bartender, Alejandro, was wonderful!! While we did wait maybe 5 additional minutes to be served (it was peak business hours) Alejandro was very kind and apologized for the wait. He served us with a wonderful attitude that was warm and welcoming!! We were celebrating a friend and he was quick to congratulate and my friend felt very seen and celebrated!!

    Fogo- I am writing you once again about my experience on Friday evening. I cannot believe I left your facility with so much rage and anger. I have never been treated so poorly. I have never felt such distaste and lack of professionalism when you were supposed to win me back. I was polite and direct with my last email. When we arrived at your restaurant I felt a sense of fear from the staff. The waiter was polite but I could tell something was off. Once again, we ordered drinks. It took almost 10 minutes for them to be served. We began the salad bar. Once again, with red coasters, the staff brought proteins and were trying to put them on the salad plates. I asked them for a clean plate, he looked at me very funny and walked away. A young girl brought us out fresh plates and put them to the side. She walked away quickly and did not offer to take the soiled plates. I had to call her back to the table and ask her politely to remove the others. I was at this point over my experience. I voiced my dissatisfaction to the waiter. He apologized and walked away. I am still in awe that a manager did not stop by our table with an active complaint. I know a manager was working but no one bothered to address the issue. I was fuming at this point. The waiter came back with a checkbook. I said, I refuse to pay any part and that he should consider working for a higher class establishment. I don't understand how you stay in business. I want my Visa card refunded the total amount from our 5/21/26 visit and for you to make this right. I am in utter shock of how your business runs. I am so disappointed that a manager was not available to assist in this horrid experience. Cordially, Patrick Pearson

    Overall good experience. I ordered a grilled lobster with the tomahawk steak combo, I didn't get my tail until it was almost desert time. The server was very accommodating and nice as we did have kids with us. The drinks were okay not worth the splurge. I went as a pre-birthday celebration and the space is intimate and warm perfect for a date night or celebration dinner.

    Looks like the restaurant moved locations to a bigger and better spot. Love the decor, the service was impeccable, and the overall experience was incredible. Come to the all you can eat meats and bring your stretchy pants and appetite. I was able to try all the cuts of meat except the ribeye because I could not get enough of the Picanha and the lamb chops. I ended up finishing off 5 chops so I do feel that I got my value to dollar considering it was less than $65. Since the grill is ultra hot, the exterior of all the meats were crispy and crunchy. Mixed in with the salt and tender meat, I do feel the restaurant used zero msg, I could be wrong but with all the cuts of meat, I assume salt will be high and I didn't have dry mouth so I assume zero msg. The Picanha as you can see is ultra tender medium rare, just heaven. Love the honey on top of the pork belly, the honey offsets the saltiness of the pork belly cut. A must try for all the means, the garlic beef was great, don't let it sit too long because it gets hard. I can sit here and explain all the meats but why read this when you can just try it? I mean it's worth the dollar amount to the meats. Just go!! :) I will say I mixed the mash potatoes between bites, I had some caprese between the bites and some capers. It helps cut the saltiness of the pallet. I will say the cheese bread is soo dense and thick that I was in my groove with the meats and it sorta filled the space in my stomach but it's a tiny piece of bread and cheese but boyyy it was rich. The garlic mash potatoes holy hell they must of put a stick of butter since it was the best I've ever had.

    We came here for dinner. Their menu is extensive. Their salad bar is diverse and has a lot of delicious flavors. This place is heaven for meat lovers. Different kinds of pork, beef, lamb and chicken. All meats are tender and juicy. Very tasty. Service was attentive and they complimented us with a nice dessert. Fernando our server was great. Atmosphere is elevated. Will come back

    I booked a table for me and my buddy and aside from a slight delay with a table my experience here was great. I started off with a Caramelized Pineapple Old Fashioned and it was a good boozy start to just the deluge of meat that came my way. Usually the gauchos start slowing down after a while sometimes to the umbrage of the waitstaff. Here it seemed like the gauchos were more than happy to come by again and again and again if you appreciated whatever cuts they were touting. I think if you're at a Brazilian steakhouse picanha is what you should eat the most. The picanha gaucho asked me once if I liked picanha and when I said I love it, he came by multiple times; once he basically just dropped a small slab of it so I wouldn't have to wait for a few slices. I've never had that happen before at a churrascaria and haven't since, which reminds me I should probably look into making another reservation...

    Lobster tail
    Megan M.

    Having ate at other Brazilian steak houses in the area this was not my favorite experience. Food was good, options that I had not had before like garlic Parmesan pork and lobster tail ultimate it was the service that was not the best. It didn't feel very personal, more rushed and almost excused. We did get checked on repeatedly so that was nice but seemed pretty fast paced for the staff so there was no eye contact really and seemed distracted. For example we have 2-3 people check on us within 20 minutes but all of them were informed that we were waiting on a specific cut of meat or a drink and ultimately there was no follow up and someone completely different would bring said item to the table. However the team effort was there to get a table taken care of it was just interesting to have 4-5 people assist you, not including those offering cuts of protein.

    Pan-Seared Salmon* with asparagus
    Darlene M.

    First of all, the staff is so friendly and the service is fabulous ! The ambience is wonderful. We were here two nights ago for a company dinner and had the full Churrasco experience ($61.50-$82) It was really good. The desserts were also excellent (key lime pie yum). It was a little complicated to do with such a large group (80) but the staff handled it well. So well, in fact that we decided to go back tonight to go to the Market Table & Feijoada Bar (on its own $18 lunch or $36 dinner). We decided to add the salmon to outside ($43 for salmon and includes the Market Table. We have had enough red meat over the last few days. The salmon was excellent perfectly cooked, and came piping hot to the table. We loved all the charcuterie meats, cheeses, salad choices, fruit veggies on the Market Table and Feijoada bat. Great way to celebrate our last evening in Austin. Make sure you go hungry!

    A little bubbly to celebrate
    Mike R.

    Came here for a celebration dinner with six people. Had a reservation - seated quickly. The new location is gorgeous and the valet out front is very helpful vs. street parking, especially if anyone in your party is in heels - the walk is short. The majority of us opted for the traditional meat experience, but the vegetarians in our party had ample options between the salad bar and some vegeterian menu options. Service was generally good, although the kitchen was definitely producing meats in fits and spurts - lots of things at once followed by long pauses between options, even with the green pogs turned up. Two special requests (lamb, pork belly) from the menu took more than 40 minutes to finally arrive after asking four different times. They're definitely getting used to a new number of patrons, new layout, etc. and having some hiccups in consistency / continuity. Edit: the issue with our tip being recorded wrong (too low) was addressed by management, but only after posting this review. Calls to the restaurant were ineffective in getting results.

The buffet was huge and quite tasty. My favorite item was the bacon. Service was impeccable! There were an army of servers - serving the meats, pulling out the chair for ladies, picking up used plates, etc. For a Friday lunch time crowd, there were quite a lot of customers.

Backyard patio has some big bricks for the kids to play with. Parking is a bit confusing at first but there's additional parking to the side if the entrance lot is full. We sat outside and ordered the following dishes: Coxinha (shredded chicken croquette) was excellent and very kid friendly. Crispy on the outside while incredibly creamy and soft on the inside. 9/10 Bolinha de Queijo (fried cheese balls) were my son's favorite, basically their version of mozzarella sticks. 9/10 Pizza Queijo, cheese pizza with crust stuffed with Brazilian cream cheese, really good. 8/10 Espetinho de Chicken Heart, my wife's choice and she loved it. Dense, slightly chewy, and best with lime and the creamy pepper sauce the waiter brought after I asked. 8/10 Strogonoff de Frango, the standout main dish. Rich, creamy, perfectly seasoned sauce with excellent rice and crispy potato sticks. 9/10 Caipirinha Tradicional, solid and paired well with the savory dishes. 9/10 Caipirinha de Caju, my wife loved it, perfectly balanced sweetness. 10/10 Brigadeiro (dessert) taken to go. Small but tasted as expected. 7/10 Pricing is mid range and actually lower than expected overall though drinks can push the bill up quickly. Overall, great vibes and a very enjoyable experience. Best suited for dates, special occasions, or family outings. I would definitely come back, especially to try more appetizers, different pizza options, the Strogonoff de Frango again and try some new dishes. 4.5 / 5 rounded up!

Luckily, they were able to seat me anyway. This is a casual restaurant with a full bar. I was going to eat 4 times today, and needed to pick something light, but ended up with the escondidinho de carne, a shepherds pie like dish, chicken skewers and a dragonfruit caparinha. Cocktail- served in a lowball and looked great upon presentation. This tasted pretty good, but ended up being so small with a lot of ice, unfortunately. Skewers - these were pretty good with a nice grilled flavor. I loved the texture. Escondidinho de carne - this is a really good dish with ground beef that doesn't have many veggies like the Irish version, but still very good. The visit was not without a miscues though. I asked the waitress for an extra plate when she brought the entree out, but she never returned. Then, at the end, I finished my meal and nobody was coming to my table to give me my ticket. I had other places to be so I had to walk to the register and ask for my bill. Another person at the bar, who I had never seen come to my table, prepared the bill so I could pay. This was a little bit awkward and just seemed like the employees were flustered due to the holiday or something and just forgot about me entirely. If I ever return, I will have to come back and try the steak on my next visit. It looked really good!

We were originally planning on a different place, but I recently found out that this spot opened up in Bastrop. The place is smaller and a bit less fancy than the Brazilian steakhouses in Austin, but the food is just as good. I'd even argue that some of it were even better. I'm a huge fan of the parmesan pork, even though most people find it too dry, and it was better here than at any other place I've tried. The salad bar was smaller than what I'm used to, but the selection was great. Everything that I tried was delicious, and the others in my group who tried other things were very pleased, too. Everyone in our party had their own personal favorite. My four-year-old granddaughter couldn't get enough of the sausage, which was quite good. The service was outstanding, which I've found to be typical of these types of restaurants. The service staff (and I'm assuming the managers) were on top of everything, keeping our drinks filled and frequently asking if we needed anything else, but managed to also be unobtrusive at the same time Towards the end of the meal, they began asking if there was any particular cuts that anyone wanted, and they filled our last requests. I'll admit that I had more Caipirinhas than I should have, which likely made my experience even more enjoyable, but we all had a great time. We all enjoyed the experience very much, and while it was indeed pricy, it was still considerably less expensive than I would have paid in Austin. I'm super-happy that this is an option in Bastrop. I'll absolutely be visiting again, and I really hope that it does well enough to be a permanent fixture.
