I've been to Fogo de Chão in Fort Lauderdale over 20 times in the past two years, and every single visit continues to exceed expectations. A huge thank you to Fernando, the GM, for running such a top-tier establishment and consistently maintaining high standards. On our most recent visit today, Ely, one of the managers, was incredibly warm, attentive, and observant--making sure we were completely taken care of throughout our meal. The food, meat quality, and salad bar are always fantastic, but it's the outstanding team and personal hospitality that keep us coming back time and time again. Highly recommend! read more

I'm just updating my rating because of the restaurant's follow-through. I didn't ask them for anything, but they reached out to me to see if they could rectify the situation. I contacted them as they requested and was ignored. Recap - Terrible service, LIVE COCKROACH ON TABLE, fake concern, no followup. read more

Good morning, we celebrated our daughter-in-law Taleessa's 31st birthday last night in your restaurant with twenty of her friends and coworkers. Eileen was our server and she was lovely, although she could have used some help for such a large party. Steve was terrific and I chatted with the manager, Sam, who was very nice! The drinks and the food were delicious! A good time was had by all! Modern decor in the restaurant, restrooms were very nice and clean. I highly recommend!!! read more

This is my absolute favorite Brazilian steakhouse! I LOVE Fogo! I come here very often & I'm met with exceptional service, I feel like a VIP every time. Shoutout to all their staff especially Nelson who is very kind. All the steak cuts are divine, my favorites are filet mignon, picanha, & alcatra (top sirloin). I usually order wine with the food. The vibe in there is very nice & the lights are dim. Lastly, I cannot forget about my all time favorite dessert, the Chocolate Brigadeiro Cake. If you're a chocolate lover, this one is for you! read more

Sat at the outside bar and grabbed a couple burgers and small bites. They had live music and the bartenders were great. Inside bar was pretty packed at around 730 on a Friday probably due to the all day happy hour. The Picanha burger was juicy and pretty great for $10. And they even provided some cheesy bread for the table. We had some Caipirinhas and they were delicious. Great value for happy hour for sure. read more

First time visiting this location and it was great! The service was good and the staff were attentive. They would come and ask for requests and one of the staff came back a few times to bring us picanha exactly how we wanted it cooked (thank you Nicolas!). He also provided us dessert recommendations and we had the papaya cream (papaya mixed with vanilla ice cream) and it was light and delicious - the perfect dessert! We also had a carajillo to top off the evening and it was great. Definitely come here ready to eat!! They also have a salad and other sides bar with a lot of variety. My favorite is the brown sugar bacon - delish! read more

Food was good but not spectacular. Our server was nice but the ones passing around the meat seemed extremely annoyed to be there and they basically offered us food for 15 mins nonstop and then it was hard to find them. Would recommend to slow down, allow for guest to enjoy their food and not rush them. read more

I finally made it to Fogo de Chão for a Friday lunch date around 1:30 PM, and it did not disappoint. This was my first time going after seeing it all over TikTok, so I was excited to experience it for myself. We sat at the bar since the all day happy hour is available there and on the balcony, and the bar was open when we arrived. Parking was super convenient. There's a garage right next to the restaurant, located behind the Publix building. Once you park, you can walk straight to the elevator, go through the glass doors, and it brings you right down to the lobby where Fogo de Chão is located. Even at 1:30 pm on a Friday, it was pretty busy at the dining tables. At the bar, I went with the strawberry hibiscus caipirinha because it was lower in calories than the passion fruit, which is usually my go-to. Let me tell you, I was not disappointed. It was refreshing, flavorful, and absolutely stole the show. I even ordered the passion fruit next just to compare, and the strawberry hibiscus still won. The bartender did an amazing job. They start you off with complimentary Brazilian cheese bread that was soft, cheesy, warm, and honestly addictive. For food, we ordered the beef empanadas from the $6 bites menu, which were delicious. We also had thw saucy legs which were good. I ordered the beef rib for only $15, and my friend got the lamb chops. Everything was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. Customer service was on point from start to finish. The bartender was friendly, attentive, and even took the time to do a TikTok with us at the end, which made the experience even better. Shout out to him Overall, this is a great spot for a happy hour with good food, great drinks, and prices that really can't be beat. I've seen mixed reviews online, but I'm so glad I went because my experience was nothing but positive. I'll definitely be back. read more

We came on Mothers Day weekend to celebrate a good friend. Although we made a reservation we still had to wait over an hour + to be seated. We gave grace though The hostess at the front was clearly under the weather. She kept wiping her nose and her eyes looked sick. I was very concerned as to why she was even at work & without a mask etc talking to people and touching things. The food in general was delicious. Pineapple was top tier and the meats were cooked to perfection. I'm glad the bday boy overall had a great time. read more

I was looking for a place to host a special dinner for the kids from my youth football team, and I wanted somewhere a little more upscale for them. After searching for a while, I chose Fogo de Chão and I am so glad I did. The restaurant itself was beautiful, clean, and had a great atmosphere that made the boys feel like this was a really special night. From the moment we walked in, the hostess was warm, welcoming, and made sure every one of the kids felt seen. Our table for 14 was ready quickly with no long wait. Our server greeted the boys right away, took their drink orders (all different, of course), and didn't get a single thing wrong. They took the time to explain how everything worked and showed an incredible amount of patience. And the food? Amazing. The steaks were perfect tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. A few of the kids asked for medium-well, and the staff happily accommodated them without hesitation. The boys were thrilled. I was truly impressed with the level of service. They made the kids feel special, treated them with real care, and you could tell the staff genuinely cares about their customers. I'll definitely be back. Huge kudos to the entire Fogo de Chão team for making the night memorable for all of us read more

Had a great dinner experience at Fogo de Chão on Las Olas. If you're looking for a serious amount of high-quality meat, this is the place. The picanha was definitely the star--juicy and perfectly seasoned. The other cuts, like the filet mignon and lamb, were also excellent and served tableside exactly how you like them. I love the salad bar. There's a huge variety of fresh salads, cheeses, cured meats, and sides, so make sure not to fill up on it too fast. It's a good spot for a celebration or a nice date night. Go hungry, pace yourself and thank me later. read more

Fogo is steak gluttony and I loved it. Nonstop slices of beef hot off the grill arrive until you tell them no more. Add the salad bar with some decent offerings and it is quite a meal. The restaurant decor has an upscale spacious steakhouse vibe as you would expect. Service was half great have horrible. The meat servers were nonstop and delivered their meat with enthusiasm. What was lacking was the table server for things like drink. Ours was unpleasant and inattentive. We had to go to the bar ourself to get a drink. Basically she ghosted the table. Given the price of the meal this should not happen. But oh that meat... read more

We came here for date night on Friday night. The inside is beautiful. Dim lighting, huge chandeliers, an array of wine, and very spacious. Our server was attentive and the manager passed by each table and made sure everything was okay. There's a wide selection of sides and salads to enjoy and two soups to choose from. I loved the sides. I prefer my meat to be cooked well done and I was only able to enjoy a few pieces of the meats offered because of this, which was disappointing since we went for the best of Brazil and paid $49 per person. I wish I could say I enjoyed the fogo de chao experience, but unfortunately they only had 2-3 options for customers like myself who enjoy their cuts of meat well done. read more

We went for Father's Day and the food was great. My Husband had the Full Churrasco. Tender cuts of meat and seasoned perfectly. The pork belly was exceptional. Ezequiel came to our table to share cooking methods for the pork belly with an invitation to return for additional cooking tips. I had the Lobster Macaroni and Cheese and it was delicious. Our server Violeta provided friendly and attentive customer service. Leo was delightful. The grilled pineapple was such a refreshing treat. He also gave us pointers about planting our own pineapple trees. The service we received was beyond our expectation. Despite a busy full house the attentiveness of the restaurant staff gave us a Five Star experience. Ambiance was inviting and vibrant. read more

I have been to several other locations for their traditional dinner menu, but never realized they had lunch as well. Its a spacious restaurant with the typical chain decor inside. Our servers were all excellent- especially the gaucho chef who served us table side. For lunch they have a very good offering of the salad buffet with a choice of one type of steak for a fairly reasonable price. The salad buffet is massive, with a ton of salad offerings as well as other appetizers. I went with the picanha for my steak, which is one of their signature sirloin cuts. It was perfectly medium rare and well seasoned, and our server made sure to keep coming around to our table with more. Overall it was an excellent lunch! read more

Update 3: on 22 Feb 2026 (3 and half months after) we went back because my it was my mom request to dine here for Chinese Lunar New Year Dinner. One of the Managers Sam came over as we sat down and took care of our order and really took care of our table as my dad doesn't really eat beef, I told him that it was ok and he can eat the chicken pork and lamb but he insisted on making sure that my dad will enjoy his meal. Both our server Diego and Sam the Asistant Manager made sure our dinner was unforgettable!! Fogo really came back after this one. They made my family really feel like home!! I really appreciated the thought and effort. Thank you for everything!! read more

Very cool vibe and atmosphere on Las Olas. Was able to snag seating by the bar and hang out with bartender Pedro before he left the establishment to head to El Camino....such a cool guy! The pao de queijo (cheesy bread) is complimentary and appeared unlimited and was soooo good, especially when right out of the oven. Can't beat the all-day happy hour at the bar! read more

The best steakhouse! Excellent selection and top-quality meats. The market table is amazing--always fresh, flavorful, and full of variety. Even if you're not eating meat, the market table alone makes for a satisfying lunch or dinner. Their caipirinhas are fantastic, and the happy hour pricing is a great bonus. The service is consistently great--I really appreciate how the servers bring exactly the meats you want and allow you time to enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. The atmosphere inside is very pleasant and welcoming, and the building's on-site parking is super convenient. Their new Fogo rewards program is also a great perk: $1 caipirinhas on Tuesdays for members (yes, really!), and we were pleasantly surprised with a $25 birthday discount. We've brought friends and family here, and everyone always leaves happy. Highly recommended! read more

I've been to a lot of Brazilian steakhouses and Fogo is now up there on my list. I came here with my friends on a Sunday afternoon and had a great experience. It was very early in the day so the place was not busy which was a plus. The setting is very nice with elegant aesthetic. Their buffet options were great, it had fruits, cheese, different cuts of meat, and bacon. They bring pan de quello to the table which is Brazilian cheese balls, they were delicious. Their grilled cheese with honey was to die for, we got a plate of that for the table. The selection and flavor on the meats was delicious. Very good quality and quantity as well. The restaurant was very clean and the staff was helpful. Our server, Nelson, took amazing care of us and made us feel like family. I would definitely recommend this place. It's perfect for birthday lunch/dinner, date night or just going with the family! read more

Came for a celebratory anniversary dinner after a nice ride on the water. It was an early dinner - around 5 on a Saturday - so we had no wait to get a table, and the place was pretty empty. By 6-6:30 the place was starting to get packed. Both my husband and I ordered the Full Churrasco Experience - we started at the salad bar, and were impressed with some of the options - grilled eggplant and zucchini, marinated mushrooms, 4 different types of salad mix, pickled onions, pickled beets, black beans, rice, corn chowder and more. Honestly, if I wasn't craving steak, I would have willingly made the buffet my meal. Service was prompt and friendly, and honestly the carvers were so attentive that meat was being constantly offered. The meats were generally well seasoned, with the flank being my favorite and the lamb being my husband's. Some of the meat was overly salted, but I appreciated that I could request medium to well done on most cuts. The only drawback with such an early dinner is that fewer meat options were available - we noticed new cuts and types being brought around as we were leaving. The atmosphere is modern, and the seating offers a mix of chairs and booth-style benches. We sat at a hybrid table with a bench and chair, and I wound up at the bench and needed to use a pillow to boost me up to the table! We left full - there was no way we could have entertained dessert or coffee. Churrascarías are known to be expensive - let's face it, unlimited meat isn't cheap - so make sure you're prepared to shell out at least $70 per person. read more

I live up the street I don't know why it took me so long to come here! Dropped in a Saturday afternoon for their all day Happy Hour. Nothing about this place disappointed. The food was amazing and the drink was good! $10 cocktails and eight dollar wine option. They had several bar bites for six dollars and a few other ones for $9, $11 or $13. My bartender was friendly and fast. This restaurant was packed with people and it does give off more of a family restaurant. If you're looking for a place with a younger crowd this might not be it, but it's definitely worth a shot to try. read more

We were in a group and headed over there for happy hour. The restaurant was easily recognizable on the VERY busy road. We were able to find a parking garage about half a block away. Thankfully it wasn't expected to rain that day. We all ordered drinks & a few of us ordered food. The fried cheese was a bit oily... which should be expected because it's cheese. But I would recommend ordering something to soak up or discard the oils. We got the "clean" drinks which was a wonderful alternative. We loved the clean cucumber martini. Yum. The lamb lollipops were so good we ordered two yet devoured them so fast we didn't take a photo. read more

Outstanding service by Chelsea at Fogo de Chão - Fort Lauderdale We hosted our department offsite / Christmas celebration at Fogo de Chão in Fort Lauderdale, and Chelsea took absolutely phenomenal care of our entire group. We were close to 20 people, and she handled everything with grace, efficiency, and a genuinely warm attitude from start to finish. Chelsea was incredibly attentive, organized, and always one step ahead -- no small feat with a group our size. Drinks were refilled, requests were handled quickly, and she made everyone feel taken care of without ever missing a beat. What truly stood out to me was her kindness and willingness to go the extra mile. I wanted to take food home for my partner, and although it initially wasn't possible, Chelsea took the initiative to involve a manager and worked it out so everything could be done properly and thoughtfully. She didn't have to do that -- but she did, and it meant so much. Chelsea turned a great evening into an exceptional one. Her professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine care made our experience seamless and memorable. If you're dining at this location, ask for Chelsea -- she is an absolute gem and a huge asset to the restaurant. Thank you, Chelsea, for making our night so special! read more

Reserved this for a party of 7 on a weekday around lunch time, since it would be my post graduation celebration from the Davie area. It was hard finding upscale restaurants that would seat us indoor and not outdoors, so I was happy to stumble upon this one in the Las Olas area. We all decided to get the "full churrasco" option to get unlimited meats brought out to our table. It offered the buffet (with salads, fruit, soups, etc) and Brazilian sides. They had cards that had one side green and one side red that you could flip back and forth that would indicate to the server whether or not you wanted that particular meat. I enjoyed all of them almost equally but definitely the lamb is a must try. Be careful not to get too much from the buffet or else you'll be full and not able to enjoy the entire experience. Very quickly on i turned my card over to red because I was stuffed. They even offered us this delicious cheese with honey on top (on the house) and all of us devoured it. The passionfruit caipirinha drink was delicious and the creme brûlée cheesecake that said "congrats" was such a nice gesture and made my day complete! Overall, everybody left satisfied and none of us had dined there before so we got to experience the newness of it all together. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to celebrate important accomplishments or anything that involves catering to that more "upscale" vibe. read more

We went to celebrate our wedding anniversary, so we had a reservation. It was busy, but we were seated promptly. Our waited looked so disinterested in us that we saw him twice the entire evening. The saving grace was Eliani. She picked up the slack, and made us feel welcomed where our waited failed to do so. The salad bar had options to satisfy the pickiest eater. We had the grilled cheese w honey as an appetizer 20/10. Bliss. The steaks are top notch. The caipirinhas are fresh and well crafted. It is noisy, and busy, but warm. Like Sunday dinner at grandma's house. For dessert I ordered the cheesecake brûlée, and he ordered the key lime pie. My cheesecake was SO GOOD I ordered a second piece to go. Can't wait to go back. read more

Coulda, woulda, shoulda been a 5 star except for one (or 2) mishaps. Let's start with the positives: The ambiance, service, food quality and value were all excellent. The restaurant is huge with very high ceilings which kept the noise level tolerable. The service was top notch which is critical for a Brazilian steak house. The food quality was excellent. The salad bar and the parade of meats were great. Some of the cuts of meats are better than others, but that is normal for this type of place. Once the staff realizes what you like, they cater to that taste (extra points for this) The value cannot be beat, especially considering the price of beef these days. Now for the strange beginning...I had made a reservation for 5:30 on a Friday. We arrived on time and noticed the restaurant was relatively quiet (expected). We checked in with the hostess and she verified our reservation. It's an open room, so we saw the entire restaurant. A few people at tables, the salad bar, some of the meat servers, etc. Instead of seating us, the hostess tells us we need to wait for our table to be set up. Based on what we saw, this was not necessary. We saw plenty of empty tables that were already set up. I didn't think anything until we waited for 5 minutes. Then both my wife and I asked what was going on. We didn't receive any answer. We pointed at many empty tables and the hostess tells us those are reserved. (Didn't we have a reservation?) After being seated a waitress hands us menus, asks what kind of water we want and tells us about the standard salad bar and all you can eat steaks (a la carte is also an option) and then proceeds to disappear. After 10 more minutes a manager asks if we were being helped and I told him that they have 2 strikes after telling him what you just read. From that point on we were treated like royalty. Multiple managers and servers were at our beck and call. We were even offered free desserts. So to conclude: horrible start saved by a mostly great staff. I will be back (but not too often because these types of places are very dangerous for my diet) read more

I really want to love this location because the food is genuinely amazing, but the service has been consistently disappointing. The last two times I've visited, the wait for even simple items was surprisingly long, and it took away from the whole experience. I've ordered the picanha burger, the empanadas, and the grilled cheese with honey--all of which were absolutely delicious. The flavors are spot-on, the ingredients taste fresh, and the dishes are consistently well-prepared. No complaints at all about the food; it's what keeps me coming back. Unfortunately, the service has been extremely slow, to the point where it feels like the kitchen and staff just aren't keeping up. When the food quality is this good, it's frustrating to have the experience dragged down by long waits and lack of attention. I'm giving 3 stars because the food truly deserves high praise, but I'm hoping the service improves. With better timing and attention, this location could easily be a 5-star experience. read more
