First thing I have to say the place in Manhattan is awesome it's gigantic it is exactly how I seen it on video the service is continuous no problem with that some of the meat were a little overcooked but besides that it was edible I had a great time there I took my grandson there we enjoyed it we ate as much as we could and we enjoyed 80% of the food I did not try the chicken I will definitely go back again read more

I had always wanted to try this place since I'm Brazilian and had heard so many great things about it! I was in the area and stopped by for happy hour. The menu is appealing, with a great variety of options, and the restaurant is clean and well-maintained. I sat at the bar, and both the drinks and food were excellent. The only downside was the service. It was a Thursday, and they seemed to be short-staffed. We waited quite a while to be served, and the guests around us appeared to be experiencing the same issue. It just requires a little patience. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and will definitely be back for the full rodízio experience! read more

Came for a graduation lunch and left with our bellies full. Service at this location needs to be improved. Starting from entering the restaurant- no hostess to be found upon entering. When she finally saw us waiting, with several other parties, her face was unwelcoming. The waitress we had, took a while to take our drink orders, never saw her again after she served us our drinks. When we wanted our bill, she was nowhere to be found. The cuts of meat were fresh and great. Some overly salted and some too dry. The buffet bar could have more fruits, maybe melon to go with the charcuterie but that's my personal preference. read more

Fogo de Chão - Steakhouses Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My go‑to happy hour spot has been feeling different lately. The service has become inconsistent, and it seems like they're struggling to keep staff -- the turnover is noticeable. Some team members even greet you with an attitude when you walk in, which takes away from the welcoming vibe this place used to have. What keeps me coming back is the bar staff, especially Dee. She's always warm, attentive, and knows how to smooth things over when things feel off. Dee is the reason this place still feels worth visiting. Dee is not a bartender but she works the room to make sure customers needs are met. This place, location is becoming a joke for long time customers like myself. The bar menu has decreased significantly. I will have to find a new home downstairs in the Dekalb Market where customers feel welcome. read more

So here's an honest review, the staff is nice, the place is nice and clean and upscale. I think it's reasonably priced. The buffet sucks- all cold maybe 1-2 warm Dishes, the meat is poor quality and heavily salted to mask it. A few things were really good picanha is one. The service sucks - took them 20 min to bring us a plate for the meat - took another 20 mins for the rodizio to start half the time the staff with the rodizio just walks by the table- super inexperienced. They also keep bringing the crap cuts and occasionally come around with a good cut like rib eye or fillet mignon or picanha. Also the restaurant was like half full at best- they need to learn how to run it, theater district location was run much better despite everything else remaining the same minus the staff issues here. Pick another place not fogo de chao read more

Who will be first to address the adversarial undertones of all-you-can-eat formats by offering $5 to those who can prove they ate breakfast that morning? A staycation day provided a chance to try the $49 weekday lunch. It wasn't the meat bonanza I expected and I wonder if the selections are broader at night. The picanha was delightfully juicy and made brilliant use of salt on the exterior. The lamb was a sleeper hit, but the ribeye was indistinct. The pork chop was good. The salad bar outperformed the meat, at least relative to analyst expectations. There was a compelling pico de gallo and some spicy Instagrammable peppers, and I was oddly hooked on the chicken salad. read more

So sad to see the low reviews because I had the most PLEASANT experience at the city point BK location. For context this is my first time visiting fogo de chao but not my first time having Brazilian food/bbq. The vibe of the restaurant is kind of upscale casual. Looks nice and fancy inside but the overall ambiance is very inviting and casual. The food was all good-- no complaints about the meats nor the salad bar-- I left stuffed. Was there celebrating a friends birthday and we went with the best of Brazil experience ($54 a person, limited but still very extensive options for meats) Honestly was a lovely experience where you can try many different things and have a bit of everything! For me the reason I give this location 5 stars is because of the service. The manager was serving our table and she was an absolute ANGEL. Great personality hard working, and for my friends birthday she gave the complimentary dessert but gave an EXTRA one to me for no charged--- very thoughtful and she was full of personality too. The people serving meats were also all very kind and cracked jokes here and there . I would definitely go again and highly recommend trying the experience. Sadly I didn't take pictures of the meats or salad bar.. here's the cakes we got! read more

Six Stars for service! Amazing customer service from both Everaldo, Karam, and Kyan! Both outgoing, all 3 super sweet always checking in to see we were happy and if we wanted something specific they helped making sure you got it! Professional atmosphere with still a family friendly feeling. My husband and me have been to many Fogo de Cho all over the United States including San Francisco, San Jose, Los Angeles CA, Portland Oregon, Baltimore and several other locations and this is on top one of the best for its customer service! Food is always good, my only ask is we didn't get any of the cooked pineapple until the end and to me and the visitors waiting as well beside our table the best ending to the experience. Atmosphere is relaxing and open, not overly crowded like other locations which makes your dining experience feel smashed together! Please give our big thank you to your staff especially Kyan, Karam, and Everaldo. We will recommend this location to everyone hopefully have these two amazing staff when we visit again. read more

Fogo de Chão is a Brazilian steakhouse chain, and they just opened a new branch on Albee Square in Brooklyn. We came here for Saturday dinner with visiting friends. Since we had a big lunch, we did not do the full churrasco experience. Instead, we each ordered a special meat cut (unlimited) for $40 and included full access to the market table and Feijoada bar. Fresh seasonal salads, exotic vegetables, aged cheeses, smoked salmon, cured meats, seasonal soup, Fogo de Chão feijoada (traditional black bean stew with sausage) served with rice, fresh orange, farofa (baked yuca flour with bacon), and more. Our group of 4 selected Picanha (prime part of the top sirloin), Fraldinha (bottom sirloin), and filet mignon. All the meat cuts were cooked to perfection, and we didn't have to wait for the server to carve us the meat. It was an enjoyable experience. Our server checked on us several times. We concluded the dinner with dessert of fried polenta and plantain. And we tell ourselves we will be back! read more

I had a great experience dining here. The service was great, and the food was delicious! I came for happy hour, and the prices were very reasonable. Make sure to come early before it gets packed and I'd definitely come back. read more

I was extremely disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. The service was incredibly slow, and despite ordering before several other tables, I watched people who were seated after me and ordered the exact same menu items receive their food and finish eating while I was still waiting. Not only was the wait excessive, but there was little communication from the staff about the delay or any effort to make the situation right. It felt as though my table had been completely overlooked. read more

I came here for brunch with my family on a Sunday afternoon. I've only been to the midtown location and this was my first time at this location. I like that there's AYCE and non-AYCE meat options since I don't really eat red meat. We ordered the picanha (top sirloin), double cut pork chop, and Chilean sea bass entrees which included the Market Table & Feijoada Bar and Brazilian sides (garlic mashed potatoes, polenta fries, caramelized bananas, pao de queijo). The Market Table & Feijoada Bar had a good selection of cold salads, cheese, cured meats, and fruit. The best items were the pao de queijo (tapioca cheese bread), the smoked salmon with capers from the Market Table, the picanha, and the sea bass. Service was great, everyone was attentive and friendly. I would come back! read more

Fogo de Chão Brooklyn did not disappoint. The branzino was on point; fresh, flavorful, and they fillet it right in front of you like it's part of the show. The whole experience feels elevated but still comfortable, and the service moves with precision. Definitely one of those spots you go to when you want good food and a smooth night.

Came for happy hour and had the most fun and gluttonous time. $10 cocktails; the most satisfying, giant, chimichurri-filled burger with the crispiest polenta fries you could ask for (also $10); and all the delightfully cheesy and still-warm pao de queijos you can eat! Incredibly kind and attentive service who go above and beyond, the hospitality here was really a stand out and made the whole night. read more

Staff is accommodating, friendly and attentive but wait times for beverages way too long. Meat is the obvious choice here but almost all tough to cut and salty. The "Filet Mignon" was petite and ok. Salad bar is immense and accommodating to all tastes with smoked salmon too. The Bar scene looked much better. Maybe next time. read more

The ambience is nice! The service is fantastic. My friend and I went for the $49 lunch buffet special. The salad buffet was unimpressive to me. The meat at first was incredible, minus the picanha, really wasn't a fan of that one at all, too gamey and I didn't love the texture. After a few rounds of blissful meat and just as we were warming up there was a span of maybe 20 minutes where no meat came around so we were ready to pounce. So sad when we loaded up and the meat was salty AF and totally killed my appetite. It would have been an easy five stars but I felt bad about wasting the meat and soldiered through the salt. I could possibly be convinced to return but tbh the salt was such a buzz kill. 3.5 rounded up to a 4 because the servers and hostess were so lovely. No pics because ya boy was ravenous after his bike ride. read more

There is a male bartender here, glasses, shaved head. He is neglectful, and that was so on two consecutive occasions. Didn't wipe down the counter when I sat, didn't provide water. Took my order--one food and one drink--and then went on break before making my drink. A deadbeat. He's a must to avoid. read more

We returned on Friday and our experience was much improved. Staff was friendly and very attentive. They've moved the entry area away from the sliding front doors to Albee Square, to further inside the mall which is smart considering how cold it is! We were seated right outside the kitchen doorway and got great access to The Meats, all of which were delicious. Drinks were well made and arrived quickly. Based on our recent experience I would visit this location again. read more

Honestly not sure how people hype this place up. Probably the worst cuts I ever had but also they literally bathe their meats in salt. I genuinely felt nauseous after eating like two types of steak they gave me. Only good thing I got was their Mac and cheese. Only bc it had lobster tbh. It was too creamy read more

Came for Mothers Day brunch and this was one of the worse Fogo experiences I have had. The menu was quite limited my section of the restaurant didn't have many of the servers stop by had to ask the manager several time no one has stopped by the table in 20/25 minutes. Was only offered 3 different meats the 90min we were there. The cold bar was not refilled once, the service on Mothers Day could have been better. Will not be back to this location again. I have emailed there customer service line and received no response read more

We attended a dinner party in one of their private rooms, about 25 people. This was my first visit and it was worth it. The servers were so friendly and helpful. From the start the rodizio meat just kept coming. It was well seasoned and absolutely delicious. I even enjoyed the lamb which I rarely eat. The marketplace salad bar was ok, they do offer many options, but I opted for potato salad and cucumber salad. The pao de queijo - cheese bread - on the table was yummy, so were the fried yellow plantains and fried yucca sticks. If you're a meat lover then this is the place for you. You even get a card that lets the servers know if you want to continue being served the meats or not. When you dine here make sure to come ready to eat and with a good appetite. read more

Absolutely not! Everything about this place was not good. The service was non-existent. I had to remind the waiter that I ordered a drink when everyone else was finished with theirs. It was also the same meat that stopped by every time. All the good meats ran passed us and we had to physically wave them down in order for them to stop. I've been to the one in Midtown so it was a huge disappointment. The food was cold and we were basically full from the salad bar, not really from the meat which is what we wanted to have. Even asking for the check took forever. We asked the waiter to take a picture for us, he said yes, but then walked away. Will def not be going back. read more

Not going to lie, one of the worst experiences i had in fogo. I have always went to the Manhattan location. This is the first time I been in the bk location and I will not be coming back. The worst service I ever experienced in my life. One waiter asked if our bread came, I said no he said okay it will be coming. Another server goes oh you didn't get your bread yet. I had to ask for the bread. The water was barely refilled. Don't be seated in the back corner , food barely comes to you. I kept seeing the same guy serving me food and at one point he just stopped coming to the table. Our waiter asked if we okay and wanted anything else, I said pork belly. 45 mins later still no pork belly. read more

We arrived early and waited at the bar. We ordered some drinks including Mango Habanero and Strawberry Hibiscus. The drinks were strong and dressed up fruity slices and mix top shelf flavors. Gabriella greeted us and explained how this premium selection of meats and this never ending rotation was the best Brazilian cuts in town. The Picanha was served rare and tender, we loved the ever cuts, but they didn't come around often. The Medalhoes Chicken wrapped in hardwood-smoked, honey-cured bacon was my fav. It was flavorful, the bacon was crispy, and you could smell it across the room. The Lamb and the Pork were dry. I loved the selections of the more than lettuce salad bar, including mushrooms, roasted eggplants, smoked salmon, olives, and more. This location was extremely busy, but that didn't stop our server from being attractive and courteous. I'm looking forward to visiting the uptown location. read more

Took my mom here for restaurant week on a Wednesday and stood at the entrance with a delivery person for at least 15 minutes. A worker passed by, came back and still did not check up on us. It was odd because it didn't seem busy. When we were finally seated, we felt a draft all night since the wall seemed like they open to the mall and it was across from the street exit doors. The unlimited salad bar looked a little wilted and items weren't named. Happily, I didn't have allergies and I did enjoy the items I selected- arugula, avocado like dressing, salsa, fruit, rice, black beans & chickpeas. When we sat down the waitress returned with the restaurant week menu which was a $5-$10 difference and didn't include the prime meats. I enjoyed the meats, but had to specially request half the items- chicken, pork, lamb etc. the steak came out multiple times. Everything was delicious, but the party next to us were upset as they thought they were enjoying the restaurant week deal. The waitress explained that she was told not to bring out the menus unless explicitly asked which seemed a little shady. They brought me out a free dessert as we were celebrating, but this also took long to come out. Regardless, I could return if the weather was warm & there was another deal. The venue is really pretty, but I expected much more. read more

I was at this location yesterday to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. I made a reservation for 10 using open table. Our party was right on time at 5:30 so I walked to the host and informed him we were all here. The host mentioned the table was still getting ready. We were waiting for at least 20 minutes for a table we had reserved that was the first bad sign. We then got sat and out waitress messes all of our drink orders when we pointed that out she mentioned that she will remove the extra drinks she served us but she never did. Also the waitresses never showed up to our table again after messing up our drink orders. We had to be flagging people for water and drinks constantly. The meat was also slow. The servers just didn't stop by our tables and will rather go to the tables with fewer people instead. I pointed out several times to people passing because our server was nowhere to be found! I don't really think it was worth it. To top it all off I asked for a cake for my bf so we can sing happy birthday and the waiter took forever to bring it so I flagged him down to ask what happened to my cake order and he replied "oh did you want it now?" Like hello yes that's why i ordered it. Some people had to leave cause they were taking forever for everything. Also it was pretty cold inside the restaurant and we told the staff but they just ignored us. The service was mediocre do not go to this location at all! read more

I was on a healthy diet and coming to fogo de chao would not have been my plan but it was a nice surprise to see that there were other healthy options for those on a diet as well. So we had the full spread which includes a dessert and a lobster tail + the meats and the cold bar. The cold bar is where all the healthy options were - they had Cold pressed juice shots, salads, cold cuts, capers, tomatoes, fruit, berries, yogurts! Bacon, chicken, lamb, beef cuts, they were all coming through but I found the bacon to be the best tasting. The desserts were also allll very good, so overall, it was a nice experience. Their AC was very strong though and very uncomfortable! read more

I eat at a lot of places, from cheap to expensive, chain to hole-in-the-wall, with all kinds of service. At nearly $100/person, this Fogo de Chão was a big disappointment. Most importantly, the meat was sparse, poorly cooked, and brought around sporadically -- sometimes 3-4 people in 10 minutes, sometimes nobody for 20 minutes.When it did arrive, the meat was crazy salty, and either bloody rare, or overcooked. The sides were cold, and only the potatoes were replaced. Our waiter, Emil (?) was kind. Multiple people said "I'll come back with a medium steak" and never came back. We ordered wine that never came; the waiter apologized but did nothing to make it right. What did we pay $69/person for? We ate probably 8oz of poorly cooked, salty meat, all in all, and some pretty mediocre salads. When we left, there was a line outside the door. Why? read more

All day happy hour. Enough said. Standout dish for me was the saucy legs. The chicken was well cooked and the flavor was super tasty. The lamb and beef were also really good and the sauces elevated them. The polenta fries were too greasy so I couldn't eat more than 2, unfortunately. The waiters were all really friendly. The restaurant itself is huge so you don't feel like you are on top of people and it is nicely decorated. I'll be back read more

I really enjoyed this place! The service was phenomenal and the food was enjoyable. You'll for sure walk away with a satisfied belly (only if you're okay with the cold side options -- it's a BRAZILIAN steakhouse). The space was clean and pretty, real calm space. The STAR of the show was in fact Emil. He was such a kind person, went above and beyond and it's clear how much he cares about the enjoyment of his customers. Emil thank you for making me and my family of 11 a great experience, we loved Fogo extra because of YOU. But truth be told, Emil is the MAIN reason for our enjoyment! Ask for Emil!!!!! read more

I was invited to a birthday party it was a party of 8 we made reservations. The establishment is beautiful the food was excellent I had the chicken bacon wrap, steak, lamb and the salad bar. For drinks I ordered the strawberry Hibiscus caipirinha the drinks was watered down. The problem I had was with the waitress she took a long time taking the tables order. The table was told since the party brought there own birthday cake the restaurant does not provide to go containers. When it was time to pay the bill the waitress asked for cash did not want the table to include the tip on there credit card. The waitress was very unprofessional we all felt very uncomfortable. The manager was notified of the situation she apologized and informed us they have to go plates and deducted 30% percent off of the bill. read more

Average all around. The hostess, to start, was lovely- professional and quick to get us settled once the full party arrived. But once seated, we unfortunately had the most incompetent waiter. Maybe he was new, but his demeanor was overly dismissive at the start (he ran through the explanation SO quickly, and kept messing up when repeating the orders back, and we had to ask 3x for a fork and knife and just some hot water). I originally wanted a second drink but, honestly, he was gone for so long and never checked in on us much that I ended up not even bothering with that second drink. At the end of the meal, and the worst of it, we probably had to ask three different times for the check- we probably ended up waiting and lingering for an extra 45mins just for that check. That said, the servers that came around to serve the meats were great- friendly, generous with their cuts, quick to make eye contact, and professional. Food wise, the steak was good- honestly not the BEST, but for AYCE, I really can't complain. Overall, unfortunately, the waiter really ruined the experience for us. We probably won't be back. New York has so many steakhouse, there are definitely better options out there. read more

We had an amazing dinner for eight people, basically off the happy hour menu because we're not all huge meat eaters, and everybody had a blast. Kyan, our server, was amazing!!! Mia our Bartender is always spot on and super professional. The staff in general is incredible. I'll never understand why everybody does not give this place. Five stars because it truly is a five star restaurant. Secret sauce... if you sit at the bar between 11 AM and 3 PM, the entire market bar is only $18. And of course it's happy hour all day between 11 AM and 10 PM. read more

Fogo de Chão - The Salmon plate and the Churassco offer for brunch. - Steakhouses Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

If you can, just go visit the food court downstairs. That citypoint food court is done really well and the food choices are thoughtful, catering to all demographics at a variety of price points. However, on the subject of Fogo I truly had a bewildering experience from start to finish at happy hour. It took nearly 15 minutes after seating to get menus and was only given one, despite my colleague and myself both being seated and only three other customers at the bar. The menu given was dirty and a dinner menu- when we finally got the happy hour menu, it was also dirty. Was not offered water, and when requested- was not given a glass of water. When placing orders, the bartender would immediately walk away when we would request one item and not come back to ask if we wanted anything else. Instead, he would immediately rush to key the items in the POS, which ended up in an incorrect bill by the end of the night for us, and a fully comped meal for another customer. All in all, because everything inexplicably took so long to even order- we spent two hours to get the grand total of: two drinks, one empanada, one order of yuca fries, and one burger. Also, the drinks were too sweet and unbalanced for what they were ( a passion fruit caipirinha and a cucumber mint smash.) I have heard much better reviews for other locations, such as the ones in Scottsdale and Manhattan so would visit one of those to make a better judgment of Fogo. Honestly, looking at the footprint of the space, it's quite possible it's too big to have tight operations. Downtown Brooklyn is still developing as an "upscale" destination and eating food in the middle of a shopping mall won't quite be a draw yet for the type of customer this restaurant is geared towards.In terms of space, this would be perfect for corporate buyouts, but the lack of large companies and the proliferation of city offices in this area make it prohibitive for office holiday party uses. read more

Fogo de Chão - Cucumber Mint Smash - Steakhouses Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I visited this location on two separate occasions--once for my birthday and a couple of times after work with my one of my girlfriends for all day happy hour! I think I enjoyed the happy hour experience a little more. Not to say that the dine in service was bad, it just took longer for the meat to come around to our table. I also feel like there weren't many meat selections to choose from. When the meat did come around, it was a bit salty for my liking. The happy hour drinks (which are only like 3-4 options that are priced at $10) were decent. You'll need at least two to feel any kind of kick. The happy hour lamb chops are my fave! Sometimes they also have a live amateur performance which was cool. The restaurant itself gives an upscale vibe. Very elegant seating and overall decor. It's also a good sized restaurant to be in the mall. The train station is also right around the corner which I love. I would recommend read more

This is a beautiful restaurant right in the heart of Brooklyn. Arrived at 12:15 pm and was waited on by Jake. The restaurant was empty at this time so Jake was very attentive in the beginning. This was a birthday lunch for my friend and so we opted for the all you can eat experience. We started off with the salad and cheese bar. Next we had the soup and beans and rice. While we sat, a very lovely gentleman, he carved several different types of meat at our table. As the afternoon progressed, the restaurant became crowded and Jake became less attentive. It took some time to get his attention to get dessert and the check. I truly enjoyed all the food. Everything was seasoned quite well. The staff was very pleasant. I took pictures of most of the food but not all due the fact I was engrossed in stuffing my face. read more

We went for a quick bite on the All Day Happy Hour. The service was decent. We started out with a lady that made amazing drinks and she disappeared. I think she went on break. Wish she said I'm going on break is there anything else I can get you before I leave. Or would you mind closing out I'm heading to break. There was a 10 minute period we were unable to order anything in limbo. This $10 burger should be illegal it is so delicious! The strawberry Caipirinha was a little too sweet for my liking but the traditional Caipirinha was just right! I tried to convert back to wine and it was a no! Do not order happy hour wine they list the bottles it's my fault for not looking. Alamos is a Sutter Home cousin. Pay the extra $2 for the cocktail. Or order wine from the Main menu. Then we had a gentlemen bartender he elevated our experience and was new to NY from DC. He was there to see us through. This was my first time I will go back. The restaurant is beautiful this needs to be our new girls night spot. I saw a lot of larger groups celebrating occasions. read more
