    There will never really be much to complain about food-wise at Fogo de Chao. All steaks were good and the market table was enjoyable. The service however very disappointing. It was my first time at this specific location. We were about 10 minutes late to our weekday 12:30 reservation (reasonably late) but waited 15+ minutes to be sat down. Then upon sitting down no one had approached our table for another 5-10+ minutes. It was awhile before bread and drinks were brought to us and service was just not very attentive throughout the meal. The mashed potato and plantain sides also had to be requested when i haven't had to ask for them at other locations.

    We visited Fogo de Chão for my birthday back in October. We've been many times before, but this visit just felt different. The service was okay and there was definitely no shortage of meat, but it also confirmed that we're just not buffet people--even when it's upscale. Even the seating felt off; it honestly reminded us of being back in Jamaica in July, sitting at our resort where meals were more exclusive and relaxed. Here, it felt like a high-end buffet with constant table traffic, which took away from the experience. Nothing was necessarily bad, but nothing really stood out either. Probably great if you love endless meat and that dining style--just not our vibe this time.

    Came in today and was seated in the bar area with Maria. We were seated quickly without a reservation (2) & the service was phenomenal. The staff was just incredible. Joc consistently checked on us to make sure we were doing well and kept us refilled. The food was 100%. 10/10. We definitely will be back. It wasn't busy so the food came out very quickly. They have an all day happy hour so we ordered the lamb chops, filet board, chicken sliders, empanadas, beef rib, Gold rush, a Malbec and the happy hour burger. It was wonderful and we will be back!!

    This is our second time at Fogo de Chao in cypress. We were greeted at the door, we had reservations and that is highly recommended. The lighting was dimmed and the music was not too loud where you can talk across the table. The table service was okay and was not spectacular. We kept having to ask to refill water, asking is there any meat because we got barely any meat served. The table would get offered servings of any kind of meat every 10 mins or even longer. You can literally look around the room and literally there was NO ONE serving meat to any guests at their table. No one got any type of beef, lamb, chicken for a good 5-10 mins. and if you did get offered meat it not hot, there wasn't a variety of beef the same 2 beefs / sausage were the only that did come around. I've been to multiple Brazilian steakhouse and this was VERY disappointing. The servers barely came around, completely ignoring our green/red cards. We had to repeatedly ask for specific cuts like the picanha, filet, which never appeared. I ask for fresh cheesy bread 3x to 3 different people . When the meat did arrive, it was either tough, extremely salty, or undercooked (still red in the middle when we asked for medium-well). Definitely NOT worth the high price tag at all; we actually left feeling incredibly frustrated and cheated. We spent $400 on salad bar, and a few pieces of meat. This is very sad and after writing this review and reading others I was not alone. All the tables were just sitting looking at each other, talking with no one walking around offering any sort of meat. This is actually really ridiculous and there should be servers bringing meats around non stop, to where guest have to flip their card red and when the plates are full of food. This was a total opposite experience, terrible experience and most likely my last time here. I will definitely not be back and prefer to go to other Brazilian Steakhouses that I know will provide a much better experience with a better selection of meat offerings or even offering meats more frequently then 1 every 10 minutes. Their sale of "endless meat" is FALSE Advertising. You get hardly any served to you, better go to a nice steakhouse do you really get what you paid for. Save yourself the money and time. I hope the manager / management team do read this review and consider on make a huge change.

    Weird communal seating
    Shantel K.

    Absolutely horrendous, why fogo keeps building these called down versions is beyond me. You have a successful model on Westheimer . Why you build these cut down versions is beyond me 1.) seating is a weird bench and chair configuration which forces you to sit next to complete strangers 2.) wait spilled my drink all over my side of the table and my white dress was wet and stained service was terrible. I asked for filet 6 times. Waited 45 min to get 1 piece that was terrible 3.) Daughter found several pieces of bone in her steak she had to spit out. Unacceptable. 4) the grilled cheese was burnt . We asked for a different selection that was brought but with no honey . 5.) small salad bar selection 6 .) no one smiled or seemed happy to be there. It made us feel like we were an inconvenience and. It welcome. Tiny way to do fine dining, definitely wouldn't return. Could never get a manager to come to my table to discuss the issues so we paid and left waste of money and time

    The entire staff from the hostess to the manager was top tier. Restaurant was spotless and the food was so good. I just got the salad bar because there was so many choices from charcuterie to the candied maple bacon droooolllllll!!!! I could have had a plate of the bacon and oh my god the cheesy bread. Reminded me of mini popovers!!! But next time I will go and do the meat as well. Drink was on point!!! Don't ask me what it was but I had THREE they were so tasty!! Had a business dinner meeting when I was in Houston traveling on business.

    We came here around 3:40 on a Sunday for a party of 4. We waited maybe 5 mins for a table. Service was great. The staff was friendly and attentive. They also offer valet parking here, but I don't really see the point in that since there's plenty of parking in the back. We opted for the full churrasco experience. We started off at the market table which included things like charcuterie, salad, fruits, and my favorite - the candied bacon. After that we enjoyed endless meats from ribeye to lamb chops to pork belly. Everything was great quality and delicious.

    Tres Leches

    I had an opportunity to have brunch during their soft opening. It was amazing! They're still training their staff, but everyone was very attentive and nice. They are very well trained with asking if you want your plate cleared, drinks refilled etc. This location is a little smaller than other locations like on Westheimer or The Woodlands. We were seated by the bar along the tables with bench seating. They had festive pillows for the holidays on the bench. Upon sitting down we were handed menus. I ordered their pineapple mint lemonade. It was fresh, minty and carbonated. Their market table had lots of options from charcuterie to fresh fruit. During brunch they also have soup selections and waffles. I really enjoyed their candied bacon. For their meats, everything was delicious I especially enjoyed their parmesan pork and tender beef cuts. For dessert we had the tres leches. It was super moist and had a torched meringue topping. I would love to return for a special occasion. They have valet but also there's plenty of parking in the shopping center.

    I've had the Fogo de Chao experience several times. however, I'd say the one here was a little bit disappointing. Our initial server was very nice and professional. although he did forget to put in the drink order which we reminded him after about 15 minutes into the meal. the meat was the most disappointing. the medium rare cuts of beef were great! Some pieces needed a ittle bit more salt. The pork, chicken wrapped in bacon and sausage were pretty dry so that was disappointing. We ordered the stuff and turf, which included a tiny lobster tail and one crab cake. but that was it little and lobster tail was quite small and overall the seasoning there was probably overwhelming as you couldn't get a real good lobster flavor. The crabcake was well cooked although it hadate too much butter great food would go back. The salad bar is delicious. The candied bacon is on point. Might look at maybe a lunch hour developed to change the time since I went during dinner very clean interior very welcoming atmosphere. It took them probably about 10 minutes to finally get our check. It seemed like we didn't have a specific server assigned to our table. I asked one person and then after 5 minutes went and found another. It finally came out so we could pay. the service was lackluster that Saturday night that we went. I don't think that's typically how things go the case. I'd still recommend. I might go to a different location

It's not a large restaurant, especially compared to some of the other Brazilian steakhouses. The service was good. Overall, we had a good meal. The common theme is that compared to other Brazilian steakhouses, the selection at the salad bar as well as the meat selection is a bit more limited. That said, I enjoyed everything I chose from the salad bar. Regarding the meat selection, there were a couple that stood out: the picanha and the rib-eye were both very good. Everything else was so-so (the filet mignon in particular was pretty tough for that cut of meat). That said, I would rather go to a restaurant that does a couple of things well vs. everything just okay. One thing to note. I don't know how they do it, but the price is significantly lower that their competition (like ~30-35% lower). When you factor that in, this restaurant is quite reasonable for what they offer.

Several kinds of steak cuts, along with sausage, lamb, chicken, and shrimp. Other sides that are passed include mashed potatoes, bananas, and cheese puffs. Before moving to the buffet, I enjoy a cup of lobster bisque soup. Delicious! Once we're were full, I asked for the pineapples. Here they are available but are a'la 'carte. They were so good and juicy! The touch of cinnamon just set it off. After this, we shared Tres' Leche' cake for dessert. Delicious and rich!!! If you're lactose...don't do it! Note: The pineapple was sweet enough for dessert, and it helps digest the meat. Maybe not a weekly experience at $70 per person, but I can experience it quarterly maybe. Definitely a repeat spot.

(Theirs so many places that missed the mark, and devalue elegance with LOUD live performances). Tourao did great! Open salad bar was nice option with hot and chilled choices. Grill beef stew, Mac n cheese, mash potatoes, to chicken salad, and many others. Ordering the drinks which should've been so simple became a verbal game of tug-a-war with words. All 3 ladies requested ice water with plenty of lemons for the table. The server asked if I wanted lemonade. No. I just want lemons. He kept asking for any other beverage which we continued to decline. I reminded him of my lemons over half a dozen times. I even asked other individuals who visit the table. Our server mentions jokingly that the lemons are coming in from Mexico, must be. Cause damn. Finally got lemons after downing/eating a few plates. I can't drink tap water without lemons, so eating without a drink drove me temporally insane. Dessert was delight. We had the cheesecake it was pretty! The manager Mister Randy, was very nice and apologize for the flaws of the evening. He offered a shot a Brazilian rum. Which had a little spice. But a memorable moment for this sister's circle, it was our first shot of Brazilian Rum together. We normally don't drink but it was a great way to clean up the shortcomings of this first time visit. Checking out time. The server who didn't want to bring my lemons place the checkbook on me and ran off. Once he returned we requested 3 separate checks, again he placed ALL THREE BOOKS IN FRONT of me, sir half the place has depart, you not that damn busy. I observed the next table how the two ladies were handed their own ticket booklets we wasn't giving that same love. (They were just as brown as us, so it was nothing like that, I think maybe it was my height, yes I may appear to be 7 feet tall, but I'm all lady). Lol. We definitely depart feeling loved by the management and the performer. They felt like dining at our Brazilian family members home Our server was just that mischievous cousin. All in all, I'll try this place again, I like the a coziness & intimate setting. The table next to us was a couple on a special date with flowers and a suit. I admire seeing beautiful couples enjoying life. It make me want to have a date here, with flowers too.

We still had to wait 30 minutes. It was a Saturday night and Valentine's Day so it was busy and I get it. However, once we were sat, after nearly 2 hours, I only had about 6 pieces of meat. We didn't get offered half of the meat. Most of the meat we did get offered weren't even beef, mainly chicken, sausage, etc. Our cards were flipped to the green side the WHOLE time we were there, but servers were either skipping or just not even coming. Despite making eye contact. then, when we were offered certain meats, they would cut a slice for my s/o, but when it was my turn, the server would say "oh i have to get your cut from the back, I'll be right back" then never come back. This happened twice. By the 3rd time, i was clearly upset and that may have been the only reason the server actually came back that time. Our server also kept asking if we were just waiting on meat, in which we'd say yes just to still continue waiting. After THREE hours and still about 6 meats total, we requested the dessert menu - another 15 minutes just to get the menu to us. At this point, we ordered it and i asked to speak to the manager. I have never requested to speak to a manager at a restaurant before, that is how horrible this experience was. Again, had to wait for the manager to make his way to us. Once i explained to him my experience, his response in general was a very like "welp that sucks" attitude & didn't even seem really concerned. He offered to charge us as a "lite dinner" + drinks + dessert. Which I still dont even think is a fair resolution, because my dinner was their mashed potatoes, cheese bread, and 6 slices of meat. Even getting the check took time. God bless the host/hostess as they seem to be fighting for their life trying to get everyone seated. In the future, if there isn't availability, then they shouldnt be offering reservations they cannot honor. Will not be back and i definitely do not recommend the place.

    Very different than the other Brazilian steak houses I've been too. Loved their seating spaces and…read moretheir table setting for their salad bar was extravagantly beautiful. Their salads were fresh and there's a lot of varieties. Same idea as any table side service you get at other places, But this one had some great staff and the cuts of meat were so delicious and done to specifications. About $70 per person but it's all worth it. They even give servings of mash potatoes to go with your meals. All their meats were seasoned well and so tasty. They had some fancy drinks also that came with an experience. Very vice and upscale.

No matter which one you visit, they're committed to creating a memorable dining experience. They offer the full Brazilian steakhouse tradition: a beautifully stocked gourmet salad bar, delicious hot side dishes, and prime cuts of meat carved tableside. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the team truly treats you like family. The craft cocktails are fantastic, the food is full of flavor, and every visit feels special. On our visit, we enjoyed the beef empanadas and coxinha--both flavorful and perfectly prepared. Service was great, the waitstaff was on point, and even the restrooms were clean and well-kept. Gauchos Do Sul delivers an all-around excellent dining experience every time.

    My husband and I are huge steak lovers, so naturally we're regulars at Brazilian steakhouses. We've…read moretried many of them around Houston -- and honestly, Avenida stands out as the best when it comes to meat quality and variety of cuts, especially compared to other well-known Brazilian steakhouses in the same price range like Fogo de Chão and Gauchos Do Sul. Besides the typical cuts like picanha, top sirloin, bottom sirloin, and lamb chops, Avenida also offers Wagyu steak, ribeye, NY strip, salmon, shrimp, and even lobster soup. I prefer my steaks medium rare, and the meat was incredibly tender. My favorites were the top sirloin, lamb chops, and filet mignon. The service was phenomenal. They don't play the usual games that many Brazilian steakhouses do by bringing out the cheaper cuts first to fill you up. Instead, they consistently walk around serving a wide variety of meats throughout the meal, which really elevated the experience. Honestly, the only thing holding this restaurant back is the interior design and exterior appearance. I can barely notice the restaurant while driving by because the outside signage and overall presentation don't stand out. Meanwhile, Fogo de Chão (in Katy for example) catches attention immediately because the building and interior feel upscale and polished. Avenida seriously has better meat quality in my opinion, but the restaurant could benefit greatly from renovating the interior, improving the lighting, and creating a more modern and inviting romantic vibe. The food and service deserve a much busier crowd.

I planned my husband's 65th Birthday Dinner at the restaurant for Feb. 21. Once I visited prior to the date, he helped with certain accommodations to ensure my peace and sanity. I was indeed satisfied. However, he heard my heart and the day before the dinner, surprised me with an accommodation that had me in tears, simply because he took the time to listen to my vision and helped bring forth details that flowed in the vision. My heart is still so touched just at the thought. The day of the event, everyone, including the staff helped me pull off the surprise as scripted . The ambiance of the room was mesmerizing. They had everything we needed including sound equipment. I'm just speechless at how much more easier they made this event for me. And the food was absolutely delicious. The servers were so professional, kind and timely on everything. There was a mixup regarding the contract, but Eric and his team made sure we were taken care of and all the guests had an exquisitely high class quality experience. My husband is still smiling about his dinner and guests are still talking about how amazingly classy their experience was. That's because of the excellence of leadership and their service staff. Please forgive me... This all started with the lovely Katie and her wonderful personality and professionalism. She was very easy to talk to for planning and efficient in communication. I didn't have to chase her down. So, if you haven't, I recommend you experience this location at least once in your lifetime. Thank you Erick and Team for setting such a high standard for our next experiences at any other restaurants! I will recommend restaurant location again and again. (Btw... This is not our 1st visit and their service is consistently high quality at this location) Sincerely, A very satisfied and happy customer and wife Dr. N. Lowe

Time to Appetizers: 20 minutes Time to Entree: 25 minutes Arrived at 2:30PM on a Saturday and were directed to sit anywhere. We sat near the buffet, which was a bit unclear. There was a live guitarist/singer playing which was a fantastic vibe. A complimentary basket of four pieces of cheese bread was brought out, excellent way to start the meal! For two people, we ordered: 2x Coxinha (3.5/5): While the chicken is a tad dry, it's complimented well by the creamy sauce 1x Kibe (3/5): Reminded me of a meatball crossed with a falafel, like something you'd order on a skewer. Not too grainy and a nice smoky flavor. 1x Risole de Camarao (4.5/5): I thought this was a better version of the Coxinha. The shrimp flavor really permeates and reminds you of a shrimp risotto in a single bite. Churrasco Gaucho (16oz) (2/5): We decided to get this to sample all of the meats. Unfortunately I thought everything was really salty. Maybe it's characteristic of the Brazilian grilling style, because the smoky flavors did come through, but it just felt too salty for me on everything. Honestly maybe it just needed some kind of vegetable besides beans to help offset. Whatever their chili sauce is (5/5): I have no idea what this is but it reminds me of mashed up bird eye chili sauce..it's really good. Sprinkle it on everything. Helps with the saltiness of things. Milk Flan (4/5): A rich custard style of flan, thick and very sharable. Not too sweet. I liked this as a great palate cleanser. Service was really prompt and friendly. Paid via inKind with no issues.
