    Drinks (cucumber mint & strawberry hibiscus)
    Ally Y.

    We paid $54 without tip for Best of Brazil and I don't necessarily think it was the best of Brazil. They have a large salad bar in the center but with a crowd it's difficult to get around all the tables. The food had little to no seasoning. We asked for salt which has saved a lot of the meat. But we barely got any meat with the slivers they served. Service was okay it was a little chaotic some people even shoulder checked into us and meat juices spilled on our lap. I don't know if it's worth it to go here. Not worth the price the outside looks nice but for the money I'm sure you can get a large picanha and cook it way better than the restaurant and save money. Unfortunately I was hoping for better quality and service but I don't think I'll be coming back. The drinks and the salad bar had more flavor than the meat. The only positive thing meat wise was the spicy beef and lamb. If you like salads this is the place.

    Seared tofu

    A vegetarian at a steakhouse?! Yes, it IS possible but I was NOT impressed. Upon entering, we were told the next open seating time would be about 40 minutes. We opted to wait but the hostess made it seem like we needed a reservation to even be there. Whatever. Once we were seated, our server explained the process and took our orders. I opted for the seared tofu as an entree and added the market table. Everything at the market table & feijoada bar was bare and needed to be replenished. Every item was nearly empty down to the bowls and plates. Once I was able to actually get some food, I noticed several patrons just walk up, grab food items (bacon, fruit, bread etc) with their bare hands and walk away. SMH The seared tofu entree I ordered was bland. It was 2 pieces of seared tofu cut in half to make 4, and a cup of spinach rice. (Which is the same rice at the "salad bar"just mixed with spinach) Honestly, it looked and smelled better than it tasted. The other people in my party had the churrasco experience. They all said the meats were well done and NOT to their liking. Some meat was so tough and dry it was like eating "hot jerky". Also, all the meats listed on the menu were not even offered to them. All in all, with the quality, quantity and cost here for a vegetarian dining at a steakhouse is a hard pass for me.

    My friend loves this place for his birthday. Our waitress Melek was amazing. She really went above and beyond. It was super busy but somehow she made us feel like a priority. Now the food. Omg the food. It was so good. The meat was juicy and tender. The garlic steal was my favorite. Also the bread they bring out before the food. The drinks.... I feel like the bartender has a heavy hand lol. My drinks were strong.

    My husband and I went there to celebrate my birthday. We arrived as soon as it open for lunch. We were seated promptly. We ordered the full churrasco meal which includes meats, market table salad bar and sides. The meats were plentiful. They keep coming around with different kinds of meat. My favorites were the New York strip steak and the filet mignon. The Brazilian cheese rolls were delicious. I highly recommend it. You can get refills on the cheese rolls. But try not to eat too much of that or you won't be able to enjoy all the other stuff. The salad bar has many items to choose from. It has different salads, vegetables, fruits, cheeses, soup, beans and rice. My favorite was the maple glazed bacon. From previous visits at the Downtown location, I really like their fresh fruits. It is usually very ripe and sweet. Unfortunately the fresh fruits were not very good at this visit/location. They were not sweet. It cannot be that all the fruits were not in season. None of the following fruits I had were sweet: pineapple, papaya, dragon fruit, kiwi. Our server was friendly and attentive. She offered me a complimentary dessert for my birthday. I had the Creme brûlée and it was delicious. This place has a large seating area. It gets loud and noisy when there are a lot of people. The tables and chairs are arranged rather close to each other. The aisles between tables are not very big. Despite the fruits not being sweet and seating area packed, we had a good time.

    The food and sevice was amazing, we were celebrating our 30 years anniversary. I highly recommend Fogo de chao.

    Yummy meat selection! I went to celebrate a birthday and we chose to do the full churrasco that includes Picanha, bone in ribeye, sirloin and more. Every single meat is tender and really good although for the ribeye, it is a lot more saltier. The salad bar is nice with assorted salad and side dishes including prosciutto and some soups. The staff is accommodating and when a meat is not grilled enough, they would take it back to the kitchen and told us that they would come back and they did which is nice. Really nice and pretty interior with large windows and tall ceilings. Perfect with date night and having dinner with friends/ family.

    We visit Fogo de Chão at least once or twice a month, and it's our go-to restaurant for special occasions. We typically go for the Full Churrasco Experience as we enjoy the grilled cheese with honey, grilled pineapple, picanha, ribeye and beef ribs among other meats. During our most recent visit, however, we were disappointed when the steak service became very slow. At one point, we waited over 10 minutes without anyone stopping by our table with additional cuts of meat, which took away from the experience we normally enjoy. However, Also, Omar and Lestat completely turned our evening around. We love Aldo for being our server. He was friendly, welcoming, and helped make our visit enjoyable despite the delays. Even though Omar wasn't our server, he noticed the situation and stepped in to make sure we were taken care of. He was attentive, proactive, and genuinely seemed to care about our experience. Lestat was also wonderful and helped put us at ease with his kindness and professionalism. We appreciate how he rounds on every table, and he's done that every single time we've visited. While the slow steak service was frustrating, Omar and Lestat's exceptional customer service made all the difference. Their efforts reminded us why we continue to return to Fogo de Chão for our celebrations and special occasions. Thank you both for going above and beyond to make our evening enjoyable despite the challenges. You truly made us feel valued as guests. We look forward to our next visit!

    I recently attended a private presentation in exchange for a comped meal at FDC. They put us in one of their private rooms which was a little tight, but a nice ambiance with good lighting and quieter space than the main dining room. The salad bar had great variety and fresh offerings which already filled my plate. Then workers came around with their "Best of Brazil" meat offerings. The spicy beef and pichana were my favorites, as some of the other options were overcooked and dry. Service was okay granted the large party size, as we received refills on drinks once and no plate refresh. We were all grateful for the dessert packaged to go, which was decadent and stayed well to eat the next day.

    Came here to celebrate a reunion and the food was amazing. My favorite cut of the night was the short rib and the lamb chops. Our servers were great and Melek was especially attentive with our table and made our experience very pleasing.

    came with a group of 12 for a reservation at 8 but we didnt get seated until about 820..? We got the indulgence menu so we were able to choose 1 of 4 items (lobster tail, crab cake, bone marrow and something else) and it came with any dessert of choice. I love the lobster tail. It wasnt rubbery and perfectly buttered. Some of the meats were amazing but some were really salty. I liked the pork chop. The pork belly woth honey and lemon was interesting but fatty. I liked the items at the salad bar. They gave lots of fruits. They gave fried plankton and what seemed like deep fried masa and it was soo good. I wished i got more but i needed to eat meat to get my monies worth. Melek and zaila were such amazing waitresses. At the beginning, the meater kept skipping our table but after they called them out we kept getting meat. Even at the end when we all finished, flipped the cards to red, and got desserts, 1 of our friends were still hungry so the meat guy came by and gave him food. Then came back again with a different piece to personally ask if he wanted more meat. Our waitresses are sneaky too. Sometimes there would suddenly be a new spoon next to me for dessert. Or my coke would disappear and reappear out of thin air.

    Brunch Menu from the website

    My family and I were really looking forward to celebrating Mother's Day at Fogo de Chao! This was my first time at this location. I've been the one in El Segundo and my experience there was so-so. I rated this Fogo de Chao only three stars and not five for one reason...the set prices just for dining there on Mother's Day. When I booked this place for my party of 12, there was no mention of the prices for Mother's Day. When I went to the website several times, I clicked on the Brunch Menu and felt the prices were reasonable for what you got. However, when we were presented with the menu for Mother's Day, the least expensive choice was $78 per person!!! And that price didn't even include a non-alcoholic beverage! An iced tea was $4.95 and an orange juice was $5.10!!! I'm not a huge meat eater and was planning on getting the brunch bar which included the salad bar, made to order omelets and waffles. There was no way my husband, daughter and I together ate $78 worth of food! We felt it was very misleading and forced to pay $78 since we were already there and seated. The pricing for Mother's Day should be clearly stated on the website, which I still cannot find. However, the service was excellent! All of their servers, carvers, etc. were very attentive and always made sure we had what we needed. The food was very tasty and there was a lot to choose from. Most likely, we won't be back. We don't eat enough meats to make it worth the price.

    Loved the Tequila and Tomahawk night at Fogo de Chao. Our server Melek was so sweet and attentive. She really went above and beyond to make sure we got the bar bites we wanted which was greatly appreciated. Overall this dinner night was a great deal for $45 which included 2 tequila cocktails, a ton of bar bites and a few pieces of Tomahawk steak and ribeye. Overall a great vibe in the bar area and a nice way to fill the restaurant on a Thursday night.

    Server Jonathan refilling our waters once the bar filled up and helping the bartenders out

    Came to watch the Japan vs Brazil world cup game since they opened early at 10am for their watch party. I was hungry and we ordered three items off their happy hour and the filet and crab cake because I love crab! So much bigger than I expected it to be, other crab cakes are small so I expected it to be much smaller. Pleasantly surprised. All the staff was so welcoming and accommodating. The bartender Adam was by himself and towards the end of the game, the entire bar was full! The CSR Joel delivered some of our food and asked us how everything was doing. We were waiting for more water at one point and Jonathan came over and filled our cups stating he had noticed we needed more water and asked if we needed anything else after that. I felt like every need I could of had was fulfilled. 10/10 experience. Will be back to the bar for sure, but will have to come in and experience the full Churrasco when we have a bit more time to indulge!

    Is there an option to ask to have the meats cooked well done? I'm going there to celebrate a friend's birthday but I'm currently pregnant so I've been eating meat well done 🥲

    Yes, I believe it was $25 (maybe $30). Don't know about you, but I am happy to pay this small price, to bring in my exceptional wines (which they may charge $200 for). I bring wines everywhere I go. I wouldn't bring a $20-30 bottle in.

Also, I bought a spinach and cheese empanada and a chicken empanada ($5.25/each). You have many options when creating a bowl online. I got mine with pitaya as a base with hemp granola, strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, goji berries, diced almonds, pistachio butter, agave, and even bee pollen as toppings. The pitaya bowl was really refreshing and nicely sweet. I appreciated that it wasn't too tart. Combining the kiwis with the pitaya was a great choice. I enjoyed how the kiwis were diced; you'd have enough to chew. The goji berries stuck on my teeth, so I don't plan on getting those next time. It was my first time trying hemp granola, and the earthy flavor didn't quite suit my taste buds. I'd rather choose another type of granola. My most adventurous choice was adding on bee pollen, but I couldn't discern its taste due to lacking a frame of reference. The two other empanadas were adequate. While I didn't eat the chicken empanada, I received feedback that it tasted a little bland. However, I did like the spinach and cheese empanada, though it was a little salty. Overall, I'd come back to try another bowl. The location is convenient with covered parking. It was empty inside, but I still had a warm greeting from the person who prepared my food.

One thing I really appreciated was the service. We came in pretty close to closing time, but the staff never made us feel rushed. They checked in multiple times before last call to make sure we had a chance to order anything else we wanted, which was a nice.

It had a slightly tomatoey flavor that wasn't what I was expecting and didn't quite work for me. Overall, a solid AYCE KBBQ spot with fast service, attentive staff, and a comfortable dining space.
