Food was delish and fresh, the meat was very well seasoned!! Sergio was the bomb, he was funny and had great recommendations!

Finally made it and it absolutely lived up to the hype. I was impressed by the market table and hot side bar. Most Brazilian steakhouses focus almost entirely on the meat, but I loved having so many fresh salads, sides, and hot dishes to mix in throughout the meal. The variety of meats was excellent, too. Each cut had its own seasoning and flavor profile, so it never felt repetitive like some places where every bite tastes the same despite being a different cut. But the real MVP? The Brazilian limeade. I genuinely could've had 10 of them. That and the caramelized plantains and grilled pineapple! Chefs kiss. I'd honestly go back just for those alone. If you've been debating whether it's worth trying, consider this your sign. Come hungry! read more

I was really excited to come here because I had heard so many great things about this restaurant. I went in with pretty high expectations because it's supposed to be a high-end dining experience, and unfortunately, my experience just did not live up to the hype at all. One of the positives was our server, Moses. He was friendly, attentive, and did his best to provide good service, so I don't want to take away from the effort he put in. My issues were really with the overall experience and some things that were completely outside of his control. The biggest problem for me was the amount of gnats flying around the restaurant. There were gnats everywhere, and it got to the point where we were literally having to put napkins over our plates in between bites just to keep them from landing on our food. That was extremely uncomfortable and honestly unacceptable for a restaurant that is presenting itself as an upscale, high-end dining experience. When you're paying higher prices for your meal, you expect the restaurant to have a certain level of cleanliness and attention to detail, and the gnats really took away from the entire experience. Another major disappointment was the meat service. After only about 30 minutes, they stopped bringing us meat, and we hadn't even gotten the opportunity to try every cut. That was especially frustrating because one of the main reasons you come to a restaurant like this is to experience the variety of meats and different cuts they offer. If the service is going to stop before you've even had a chance to try everything, it makes the experience feel incomplete. It also made me question whether I was really getting the experience I was paying for. I also ordered the salmon, and unfortunately, it was overcooked. That was probably one of the more disappointing parts of the meal for me because, considering this is supposed to be a high-end restaurant, I expected something as simple as a piece of salmon to be cooked properly. The salmon was dry and just wasn't what I would expect from a restaurant at this price point. When you're paying for an upscale dining experience, the food should be one of the strongest parts of the meal, and unfortunately, that wasn't the case for me. The atmosphere itself is definitely upscale and gives you the feeling that you're supposed to be having a more elevated dining experience. The decor and overall vibe are nice, and I can see why someone would be excited to come here. However, the atmosphere alone isn't enough to make up for the issues we experienced with the food, cleanliness, and service. Overall, I really wanted to love this place because of all the positive things I had heard beforehand, but unfortunately, the actual experience did not match the reputation. Moses was a good server and I appreciated his effort, but there were too many things that took away from the experience. Having gnats constantly flying around our food, stopping the meat service before we had tried all the cuts, and receiving overcooked salmon were all major disappointments. For the price, I expected a much more polished and enjoyable experience from beginning to end. If you're looking for a high-end restaurant where you feel like you're truly getting an experience worth your money, this unfortunately wouldn't be my first recommendation. There are definitely things I liked about the restaurant, but based on my experience, the food and overall execution just weren't up to the standard I expected. read more

Got the gift cards from Costco $100 for $85. The Cauchero experience where you have unlimited salad buffet and meets is $69 pp. I usually get out of there with tip for 2 people around $200 so not bad on pricing for the amount of good meat they have. There's a wide selection from garlic beef, steak in a pig blanket, top sirloin, chicken, lamb chops, pork sausage, etc. The salad buffet also has some good options. Service is really good so I usually give at least 20% tip. It was packed on a Sunday night so I'm glad other people like it as much as me. Although I eat so much whenever I come here that I can really only eat here once or twice a year...way too much good meat and I have no willpower to stop until I'm uncomfortably full. read more

I want to start off with how amazing the service here is. It was probably the best service at any restaurant I've ever been at. Everyone is so friendly and attentive that you just end up feeling jolly and welcomed the whole time. And besides accidentally eating what I thought I was a mild mini bell pepper from the salad bar part only to find out it was a more medium pepper and gagging a bit, everything else was absolutely amazing! I've spent much money on food before but never where the money was this much worth it. All the meat was so yummy! We were in a portioned out room section that was really nice. Not too loud at all where we could have great conversation. Only downside is, I ate up all the food happily and didn't get any pictures like I usually do. read more

Ordered delivery from Fogo de Chao and requested my Picanha and Fraldinha to be cooked Rare to Medium Rare directly on the app: Unfortunately, the meat arrived completely overcooked, dry, and incredibly tough to chew. It was honestly mostly inedible like tough beef jerky. Maybe because they don't even put the meat in a separate container, only wrapped in foil where they can steam and dry out even more. The only saving grace of the entire meal was the cheese bread, which was excellent, but you only get 2 pieces per entree. Very disappointing for the price point when there are a bunch of other options in downtown. read more

We've been to other fogo de Chao locations, but first time at this one. Food was good, we did the experience and i felt like we kept getting the same meats served to us. We did enjoy the majority of the side dishes that were eventually brought out to us. We were in the back and all the good Meats never really made it to us. My husband is a black man and they sat us in the back where they had all the black people. I thought that was strange and i didnt notice until we went up to the self serve food stations. Service wasn't the best, we would try to flag down our server but he was no where to be found for long periods of time. Overall our dinner was enjoyed and the crème brûlée was delicious! read more

Fogo de Chão - Crème brûlée - Brazilian Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Clean and quick service. We have a big group (20+ people) and they were still able to quickly go through the rotation of meat. Some were better than others...there was a piece of steak that was so chewy my knife couldn't cut thru, but most of the other options were great. The cheese bread was too good and the old fashioned was a good complement to the meal. I like the pickles and peppers options, some were very spicy and thats the way we like em! read more

The food was absolutely delicious! My favorite was the Branzino. So juicy, flavorful and well cooked! We went for my birthday so of course we had the dessert! The tres leches was bomb and so was the cheesecake. The service was great since there is always food being served. The place was busy for a Saturday, but we had a nice table in the center of the restaurant. read more

Food was great as always. Picanha and lamb steak is my favorite. I'm sad to say but the service was subpar this time around. My group and I felt that we were often neglected and had to constantly ask and follow up on our requests. We were there for 2.5hrs..and it wasn't even because we were socializing and catching up. Most of it was just waiting for the rotations to come...even our drinks took 30min to come. Came here to celebrate my birthday and honestly it was kind of a let down. With all the long wait times I didn't even want to follow up on the birthday dessert / they forgot all about it. I always thought Fogo de Chaos service was amazing but after this I'm not sure anymore. read more

Great food and excellent, friendly service. Love the market bar such a great variety. My husband had the full experience so much meat to choose from. I picked choose one option which was great because I just wanted a little meat, usually I do the salmon but want red meat today. All the staff was excellent and made our anniversary night out great. read more

This is a great steakhouse but it's nice for vegetarians too. I wouldn't recommend bringing an all veggie crew here but as one of the party I had a great time. Plus they were good for gluten free folks too. They brought out a whole spreadsheet for all their food and common allergies. It was really exceptional. Their salad bar is more than just salad with delicious pastas, rice/beans, grains, fruits, ect. They have two veggie entree too. In addition to your main though there are included hot sides like amazing roasted Yuca and delicious mashed potatoes. The service is above and beyond. With many people working with each table. Erick H. and Malia were our main servers and were stupendous. read more

We always love dining here, but what makes this place even better is the staff: so attentive to their guests. Every few minutes, someone would check the water in our cups. Doesn't sound a lot, but when the entire eating experience comes with expectations, this is one of the basic things for servers to do, and I appreciate your attention to my water cup. Today we ordered the wagyu ancho (ribeye) along with the full churrasco experience and took advantage of the lunch pricing. Although everything was delicious, I think we overdid it this time. I enjoyed everything they offered at the salad bar, but the best by far were the chili flakes bacon. OMG! I have dined here before, but never seen this food item offered. The chili flakes go quite well with the salty bacon. The rest of the meats including the filet mignon (exceptional good!), chicken wrapped in bacon, etc. were delicious. For a holiday, which was Labor Day, it was rather quiet at this location today. We were able to have a quiet lunch by the window where we can watch people walking by the establishment. Looking forward to our next dining experience here at Fogo de Chao! read more

I often wonder if places like this just simply don't put on their best when you go on a weekday evening, but if that's the case, lower the weekday prices. We paid the $91 dollars and were extremely extremely disappointed with the food. The service was mostly good. A couple of the young ladies were very sweet and I could tell they knew what was being served was underwhelming. We chose the bone marrow and it came out literally so hard you could not even chip away at it with a steak knife, so we sent it back. It also came with no way to eat it and no bread. It genuinely looked like it was old and not meant to be served. One of the guys seemed to take that extremely personally and remained pretty agitated the entire time. We got a replacement and between the two sides were able to get MAYBE a tablespoon out of both sides. That's honestly generous. You could visually see most of it was hardened and they chose to serve it. The lobster tail was 2 small bites worth. At that point we just gave up feeling like fish out water. We were offered very little meat selections. Maybe 6? Mostly bacon wrapped chicken. The chicken thigh was like leather. That and the pork had clearly been reheated over and over. At the end we were asked if we had special requests and we asked to try the sausage. They brought us out a tiny piece and it was old and near inedible. I have been in service my whole life and am a chef myself, and understand the staff have little say in restaurants doing things like this so we would never be rude whatsoever. Just one of those welp we will not come back. It's normal for some of it to be hard, but it was a bad piece that should not have been served as there was nothing you could get off it. And that was visually obvious. The manager came over and offered a free dessert on top of our 2 we paid with our meal package. Not because of the food but because we were on a date night. It was obvious they knew our selection was subpar but weren't willing to be upfront about that. We took it because we knew our bill was going to be atrocious for the food we received and hoped at least the dessert would be worth it. Cheesecake was ok, tres leches was frozen so I took it home to thaw. It was almost a $300 meal for 2 people. And I genuinely left feeling like we were taken to the bank. I've paid less at Michelin star restaurants and left significantly more satisfied and satiated. The Rodizio here didn't have great reviews so we tried this place. But hands down, no questions asked the Rodizio in Fort Collin's is significantly better in every way. Service. Selection both table side and on the self serve side. read more

I've been to various Fogos before, so I knew what to expect in terms of atmosphere, cost, and their offerings.. but I have to say that this was by far the BEST Fogo de Chão experience I've ever had, thanks to the staff at this particular location. We were simply bombarded with meat offerings. They came so fast and so furious that I had no other option but to deploy my red 'stop' sign. Not because I was full, but because I couldn't eat fast enough to keep up! Special shout out to our server Nick and his managers, Gabriel and Julia, for making the night extra special. They even invited us into the kitchen to take pictures! read more

I was really looking forward to dining here and hoped the experience would surpass Rodizio Grill and Texas de Brazil, but unfortunately it fell far short because of the service. The biggest issue was that the waitstaff carrying the meats repeatedly skipped our table. Our card was set to green for at least 25 minutes, yet we were continually passed over while other tables were served. What made it even more frustrating was watching tables that were seated after us being offered meats over and over again while we sat waiting. We had to repeatedly flag people down, and even then we were often ignored. At a Brazilian steakhouse, the continuous table-side meat service is the entire experience, so this was incredibly disappointing. Our waitress was also largely absent. She came to our table only once to refill my drink, and that wasn't until about 45 minutes into our meal. We spent far too much time trying to get someone's attention instead of enjoying our dinner. The manager stopped by to ask if everything was okay. In the moment, it's uncomfortable to tell someone face-to-face that the service has been terrible, so we simply said everything was fine. Looking back, I wish I had been more honest because the experience did not improve. The food we did receive was good, but it couldn't make up for the frustrating service. After reading other reviews, it seems this isn't an isolated incident. If management is aware of these ongoing service issues, it's disappointing that nothing appears to be changing. I had high expectations and was excited to give Fogo a try, but based on this experience, I would choose Rodizio Grill or Texas de Brazil instead. Unfortunately, I won't be returning because the poor service completely overshadowed the meal. read more

The food of course was amazing. The service was mixed. Our initial waiter was wonderful. For some reason the original waiter was moved and we got the replacement. Friendly but not as good. Long waits between service. Sunday, Father's Day it was busy. But doesn't excuse slow service. read more

Embarrassing is what comes to mind thinking of our dinner. Upon a recommendation that I had made, 6 of us eagerly went-fully thinking we would enjoy an experience like others Fogo de Chao's... We were wrong! The service was so poor we had to keep requesting items-only to see them go to other tables and not ours. I requested "bone-in ribeye" 5x, and almost 2 hrs later one did show up, but not after half the table was done. Several orders of pichana were so overly done that it could have passed for beef jerky. Often the signature fat cap was left off as the gaucho cut the piece top to bottom. It's not like the selections were not ready, we could clearly see them making their way through the restaurant, only to be thwarted a few tables away. I requested chimmichuri for the 6 of us, got 2 1oz ramekins a half hour later. No apology, no explanation why this tiny amount was to serve 6 adults. When we were done, no "thank you for choosing Fogo de Chao". Other locations, the head server or manager would frequent each table-not here. And maybe that's why it is-what it is. Never coming back here again. read more

I had to set up a business dinner for 17 people and chose Fogo because of its reputation for decent food. I reached out to Anastasia a couple of weeks prior to set up dinner and see what options they had. She was very helpful with everything all the way down to getting me pricing and meal options, pricing, and setting up the room for this dinner. Our party showed up and were directed to the room. The room was pre-set up and was quite spacious. The food that evening was nice, from the salad bar to the various proteins brought around over the next couple of hours. They even popped into the room occasionally with portable, rolling bars that offered the guests various other drink options. Their caipirinha was quite popular with our party, as we seemed to drink many of them. Our primary server in the room, Jason was excellent as well! He and his team kept a constant eye on us, cleared tables frequently, took requests for meats and had them immediately delivered, and ensure we were sincerely happy with our visit. Overall, this was a very nice business dinner. I'd definitely recommend having your special dinner meal here. Give Anastasia a call to get one set up for you! read more

5 stars for the wait staff and food. I would take away a star for Fogo de Chao's current business model - allowing overbooking at their restaurant and over extending their staff. This past Saturday was stupid busy. I really felt bad for the wait staff. The food was still delicious, the service was still good, but the long wait for gauchos and the long wait for a table with a reservation was silly. I heard they had over 700 guests for the dinner service, and for the staff to still have a smile at the end of the day was mind blowing to me - they are definitely professionals! I see a lot of them looking overwhelmed in-between guests but always a positive, smiling face when dealing with the guests. I applaud them for getting through the dinner service. Shout out to our main server - Carter. He was on point and attentive - you can tell he really loves his job. I didn't get the names of the other gauchos who really stood out and I'm sorry I have to describe how they look - one was a handsome dark complexion man (he sounded like he was from Africa) who always had a smile and joked around with us with the best attitude when he brought us the meat. One was a petite beautiful blond-ish hair, fair complexion lady that promise to come right back to our table with the picahna after getting it a little bit more done - she did come right back!! One was another petite adorable Latina lady that served us the grilled cheese with honey that had the best laugh. I didn't get to take photos this time as we tried to eat as fast as we could and get out before they close... our reservation was at 7:15, we didn't get seated until closer to 8, and by the time we grabbed our check it was almost 10, there was a lot do waiting for the gauchos to come around, and the drinks refill but with the amount of customers that night, totally understandable.... Fogo de Chao is still the best Brazilian steakhouse in my opinion and I didn't know they validated parking until this time, so it's nice to come to downtown without worrying about parking. Thanks Carter and team for your wonderful hospitality! read more

10/10 service was amazing. Yan was great with his food suggestions, Marcela was very accommodating and Nixa was incredibly hospitable.

Service was awful!! There's 3 options, best of Brazilian, regular and all the extras. The difference is the filet mignon,rib eye and lamb chops are on the regular. We were seated for over 45 minutes before they brought out any rib eye--we had to ask the manager to get us some ribeye, filet and lamb chops. They kept circling with sausage and chicken legs for over 45 minutes!!! read more

Ambiance of the restaurant was wonderful and the highlight of the experience was definitely the staff. They were all extremely kind and consistently checked in with our party.

We went here for lunch. There was three of us in our party. It was basically empty as we went right when they opened. I love these places and this one was no different for me.

I've been going to Fogo for easily over a decade now, probably longer. I first started going in DC and have now been to about 10 locations in different states. The amount of food, good quality food, for the price is hard to beat when you could spend $60 on a plate somewhere else and not like it. The market table alone is worth it but the variety of meats, cuts and flavors is just so good!! I recently went to this Denver location as I celebrated my birthday in Denver (I'm from Seattle). It was a great dinner, from the food, service to the ambiance. I thoroughly enjoyed my birthday meal here and the free dessert doesn't hurt! The caipirinha drink is my absolute favorite, any flavor but the OG and the strawberry hibiscus are my favorite. I just always enjoy the food, drinks and vibe at Fogo. read more

This was our first time trying Fogo de Chão in Denver, and we came with a group of four to celebrate my birthday. We were excited for the all-you-can-eat experience, but overall, it didn't live up to expectations. Service was lacking -- drinks took a while, water refills were slow, and there were long gaps between when different meats were brought around. Some of the cuts were tasty, but several came out cold or overcooked. For a place that specializes in endless meat, it felt oddly limited at times. We had noted the birthday on the reservation, but there was no acknowledgment or special touch, which was a letdown. That said, the manager did come over after we raised our concerns and did their best to make things right -- we appreciated that effort. Unfortunately, even with the manager stepping in, the overall experience just didn't feel worth the price for a special occasion. Not sure we'd return. read more

I'm a big fan of steakhouses and after a trip years ago to São Paulo Brazil I can't think of any steakhouse that I enjoy more than Fogo de Chão!

Speaking of great company we were met by Gabriel who manages this restaurant but does everything else as well! Roberta from São Paulo helped me find more Palm Hearts and their tasty Bacon!

My first time a fogo was a few weeks ago and the experience was crap. Crappy service and the meats were incredibly bland and under seasoned. I went with my girlfriend and mom who got this deal while i opted to have the more expensive dining experience and was only brought out 1 kind of meat that wasn't on the menu for the 59$ promotion. I also ordered a brazillian lemonade that had a gnat in it which was the start of my crappy first time experience. Needless to say I have no interest in returning to Fogo after that. Tucanos in Colorado springs beats this place by a landslide! Best experience I've ever had. Better food better service. Better pricing. read more

We visited on 6.24.26 to celebrate my birthday and use my birthday reward. Everything was good except the filet mignon. I was disappointed because it is one of my favorite cuts of beef. The filet was like shoe leather and very chewy and tough. Good filet should be like butter. Not sure what happened to your filet but it was not great. read more

Walking thru the door, I instantly regretted dining here. There were no hosts to greet us and once we were seated, we waited quite awhile for a server to tend to us. Mind you, it was not busy when we got here. The best service we received, was serving ourself at the cold bar. There were so many workers as well which didn't make sense to us. Overall, we didnt mind our dinner and our drinks. We felt like the same meat was coming around over and over again. We had to request for certain meats to come by. We did wish our meat was cooked a little bit more rather than it being freshly butchered lol This spot is really up to what you want it to be. It's an overall big restaurant with a nice ambiance. There were people dressed up really nice and others in casual clothes. I've had way better experience at different locations and restaurants. I will say, this was my first and last time coming to this location. read more
