Another amazing dinner at Fogo de Chao Huntington Beach. I've been here several times but had never seen it being that busy. With Prom and Graduation season, it was super packed; however, they managed to refill the market table constantly and beautifully. Looking forward to my next visit, soon. read more

I hate to put this review out there, but I'm very disappointed. We celebrate quarterly with our teams that have the top customer service for the quarter and they get to pick where they want to go for dinner. My Anaheim store pick Fogo de Chao and booked in for 5/6 before checking to see if leadership was available. We were not and asked them to move it dinner to a different day. We all agreed on 5/18. Fast forward to 5/18 the General Manager was out sick so I asked them to reschedule the dinner for another date when the GM was back. We called to recoiled and we were told that you will now Lose your $500 deposit and have to put down another $500 deposit to schedule the dinner. I would understand if we were canceling the dinner, but that was not the case, we simply needed to move the date again. Based on the way this was handled and the lack of compassion for the situation, this restaurant chain will be removed from our list of business to utilize for the celebration dinners. This also means that this location will now not get a dinner and have to have a lunch at the facility instead. Very poor business practices. It's a sad day. read more

We love this location but today's experince warrants a 5 star review. All because of our awesome server -Julia. This place gets really busy but inspite of that Julia kept up with all our requests and always maintained the smile and positivity. She is the best server we have ever encountered at any restaurant. I must have been here several times but never been so impressed by the service. Thanks Julia and Fogo team. Way to go !! read more

If you've been wanting to try Fogo but don't want to spend a lot, here's an easy way to do it. Costco sells their gift cards at about 20% off. You pay $79.99 for $100 value (item #1654048), no expiration. That's already $20 saved upfront. They also have a lunch option called Market Table & Feijoada Bar for around $18. It's an all-you-can-eat salad bar, but honestly pretty good. There are cold cuts like bacon and ham, cheeses, veggies, mushrooms, fruits, rice, and more. You can mix and match whatever you like. Even a regular salad elsewhere can easily cost $15+, so this feels like a solid deal. Great option if you don't eat much meat or prefer something lighter. Right now they also have an all day happy hour menu. You can add small bites like $6 bar items or a $10 burger (extra $4 for fries). We tried the grilled chicken and mini spicy chicken sliders, both were really good for the price. If you're celebrating something, they'll usually offer a free dessert with a candle for the birthday, which is a super nice touch. So if you do salad bar plus a couple of bar bites, two people can eat for under $50. Pretty good deal for this place. If you have a bigger appetite or really want the full experience, you can go for the all-you-can-eat churrasco (includes salad bar), which is $55 per person in this location, or more for premium options. You can also start with the salad bar and add a grilled selection like steak or lobster instead of going all in. One small thing I wasn't sure whether to mention, but I'll share it for context. When we said we were starting with just the $18 Market Table, the server's expression noticeably changed and he quickly removed the meat service tongs from our table. Later, when we ordered from the happy hour menu, he seemed a bit surprised, like he didn't expect us to add anything else. Not a huge issue, but it did feel a little off. Just because we chose the salad bar this time doesn't mean we wouldn't come back for the full churrasco experience in the future. Overall, the food and environment were great, but I do think service attitude in moments like this could be handled a bit more consistently. We still tipped well, but it's something I noticed. read more

I prefer their hH menu or var menu as they call it. POV Costco gc gas $80 for $100, so that's a savings in itself. We got the steak from the menu, the Caprese salad from the menu and also the lamb chops. Everything cost about $56 including tip not bad. Excellent quality of food and very very tasty. If you wanted to come here for just a salad it would be $18. We enjoyed lunch at this restaurant and location. The servers are nice and of course don't forget the Brazilian bread! read more

Came here for a business networking event and was really impressed! The food was delicious --especially the lobster appetizer (not sure of the name, but it was incredibly fresh and refreshing). The brownies with strawberries were also a standout--such a simple but tasty treat. Our server, Julia, provided exceptional service. She was attentive, organized, and handled our large group effortlessly while remembering everyone's requests. She recommended a perfectly balanced, refreshing non-alcoholic drink that wasn't too sweet, which I really appreciated! Great food, great service--I'd definitely come back read more

Fogo de Chão - Brazilian Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Fogo de Chao was, at one point my favorite restaurant. As a young professional, it's where I took my family with my first paycheck as an adult. Fogo de Chao is known for their all you can eat Brazilian churrasco feast and you really can't go wrong with it. Their picanha, beef rib, and lamb chops are great. If you enjoy their salad bar, then the pickled onions, grilled veggies, and chimichurri can really balance out the flavors of the meat. I think that their full churrasco experience is worth the $53 for lunch and $73 for dinner. Lately, I've been coming for more casual meals at their bar. They have an "all day happy hour" where you could get $6 appetizers and a $10 picanha burger. I ordered the burger with my last visit here and they massively overcooked it, so I wouldn't recommend that as my happy hour pick. Alternatively, I'd recommend a beef rib or "lamb lollipops" for under $20. Add a beer for $5 or a cocktail and a $6 bite and you're set for a lot cheaper than the churrasco experience. If I want to enjoy a special occasion, then I might come for their churrasco experience; however, I'm glad that I can casually get a really reasonable portion of meat, appetizers, and drinks at happy hour for a lot less than half of the cost of their all you can eat offering. And you can get even more value if you take advantage of their rewards program. When I had my burger that wasn't great, the rewards program got me a complimentary lobster and shrimp appetizer (retail: $48). While the seafood was pretty bland, it was still complimentary shrimp and lobster. If, for some reason, you have room for dessert when you eat here, then their crème brûlée is consistent and good. There are definitely more upscale churrasco experiences available now; however, Fogo is still a really good option and good value. More importantly, I'm glad that I can get smaller a la carte orders of the meats I want, either at the bar with their "all day happy hour" or to go, for a pretty reasonable price point. read more

Enjoyed a lovely dinner at Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse before the dinner rush. The ambiance was peaceful and relaxing, and the service was wonderful from start to finish. Our server was very attentive, and the food was amazing. Even as a pescatarian, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The Chilean sea bass was absolutely incredible - perfectly cooked and literally melt-in-your-mouth good! The plantains are so delicious, I had at least two plates lol. read more

Walked in on a Friday afternoon and are goal was to try the happy hour, which is until 6:30pm on all days. Not so bad of a price! If you don't want to wait 5-7 minutes for set-up make a reservation online. We opted for the patio outside as it was lovely weather outside. It seems this is where the employees take their lunch too. I personally don't mind the extra chatter but some other customers may be bothered by it. Our server Yan was great, greeted us and answered any questions. I appreciate his honesty, and if he didn't know the answer he would go and check. We ordered two drinks, it was nice as they gave a sample for a drink I wanted to try and it was a good portion too. The Xingu Black was closest to a stout and my partner ordered the Strawberry Hibiscus Caipirinha, which was a bit more on the sweeter side. Both were good. We ordered 3 items from the All Day Happy Hour, which were the Saucy Legs, Picanha Burger with an upgrade to Yuca Fries, and Filet Mignon Board. The Picanha Burger came out quick, and it was good! We ordered it medium and split it down the middle. The chimichurri aioli sealed the deal. The Yuca fries were different, a little bit more tougher to chew than usual but after asking, our server (didn't know but got the answer later) is a root vegetable fried similar to french fries. I'm not sure if I'll upgrade next time but the burger was definitely delicious. We waited a good 10-15 minutes for our next course which was slightly disappointing. It's interesting because they have the Filet Mignons on sticks rotating around and it seems that they forgot about us. When we got our board, our server even asked us to try a piece as he knew it wasn't up at the desired cooking temperature. We tried a piece and it was too tough. He stated it would take ANOTHER 10 minutes, which was also disappointing. At this point we weren't sure if we would be getting the saucy legs too because it seemed that it was forgotten. About 5 minutes later, the Saucy Legs came out and it was tasty. Not bad for $6. Shortly after, another person (I assume manager) came out with the Filet Mignon board. I appreciate the extra effort on checking in after we had asked for another plate (which I don't do often). My partner let me know that there is complimentary cheese bread, so we asked for it and it came to us. Thinking about it now, it would've been nice to receive it in the beginning. Not sure if it has to be asked now. Overall the food was good along with the pricing. The wait was questionable as the restaurant wasn't as busy. I can't imagine how it'll be if it were busier. We will be back for another try. read more

Honestly, I was disappointed. We ordered the Tomahawk, and while it looked impressive, the flavor was pretty underwhelming. For the price and the type of restaurant this is supposed to be, I expected a lot more. The environment was okay, but it felt very crowded, which took away from the experience. For a higher-end steakhouse, I expected it to feel a little more comfortable and less packed. I also wasn't impressed with the service. We weren't checked on enough, and while that may have been because they were busy, it still affected the overall experience. Overall, it just didn't live up to the expectations or price point for me, and I would not come back. read more

I never expected to write a five star review for Fogo de Chão as a plant-based eater but here I am giving this place five stars! Meateater Hubby and I learned that Fogo de Chão offers an $18 ayce salad buffet during the weekday. The flavors and options are unlike what I would get at a standard salad bar. I filled up mostly on the plant-based proteins such as a chickpea, edamame, and black bean salad or the edamame noodle salad. There was also a delicious lentil soup. Other fresh produce included salad greens, mushrooms, hearts of palm, beets, capers, olives, and peppers. Like, fancy peppers such as peppadew and Peruvian drop peppers. As for cooked vegetables, there was roasted cauliflower, roasted zucchini, and roasted eggplant. Fresh fruit included papaya, yellow pineapple, pink, pineapple, and dragonfruit. I ate really well at this salad bar! The flavors are also fresh and colorful! I liked it so much that I decided to visit the Fogo de Chão in El Segundo a week later to bring my dad for his birthday. The one thing that I did notice about this particular location is that there were a little bit more dish options at the El Segundo location. But this Huntington Beach location has a one-up on the free parking, and I felt that the staff was friendlier as well. read more

This was my first time here. We were a group on about 20 people at happy hour. I ordered the crab cake. It was very good. Lots of meat and no filler. The hamburgers looked really good. What a deal for just $10. Everyone really enjoyed their food. I sampled several of the apps. They were all delicious. I'll definitely return and bring others with me. It was comfortable and no loud music, so we were able to have a nice conversation. The service was fine. I'm sure it was difficult for them having people order at all different times. read more

Here's a hack that everyone should do. Go to Costco and buy the discounted gift cards. Then come here. We came with my husband's cousin and wife and ordered from the Bar menu (all day Happy Hour). The bar food is delicious and much less expensive than the Churrasco ($73) - which is continuous tableside meat carving. With the bar menu, we got so much variety. They start you off with these free little balls that are really tasty. I didn't catch what they were made of, but it may have been agave flour? They were so good, we asked for more. Our server was very accomodating. Then we just went to town on the ordering: Jumbo Lump Crab Cake ($18), Filet Mignon Board ($17.50), Lamb Lollipops ($16), Queijo Assado ($6), Burrata & Roasted Tomatoes ($12), and Braised Beef Sliders ($14.50). All of this food was less than one person getting the Churrasco. We had a great time except for our server disappearing once we ordered. But we were able to flag down other servers to order more drinks, etc.. and to finally get our check at the end of the evening. I saw our server in the distance when we were leaving so I'm not sure if she was reassigned to another section, very strange. All in all, a great time, delicious food and wonderful company. We have another gift card so we'll be back soon! read more

* Who: my partner, his older brother & sister, & myself * What: linner * When: Saturday 3pm-ish * Why: brother-in-law"s birthday * Space/Decor: open space with windows all around with high ceilings & brown/wood tones contrasted against lighter neutral colors that gives upscale country club. It's both nice but standard for a Fogo. * Service: I've been here 3-4x, & I want to say it's been an ever so slight miss more often than not, but I also get it b/c they can get busy. The staff themselves are friendly, but getting a server over can be a challenge at times. * Food: everything was good/standard. In case you haven't been, you pick between a full regular and full premium option, with the premium having additional varieties of meat. We started with some sangria (additional cost), which was yum! Then you go to their iced bar with a plethora of different side dishes between fruits, salads, veggies, soup, cheese, bread, rice, etc. Once you get that, you head to your table & flip your card to green! I usually try whatever comes my way, & this time I was digging the spicy sausage, but again everything else was tasty! * Final Thoughts: good restaurant with nice staff, plus flavorful food & yummy drinks in an ample & well decorated space equalling a great vibe for all types of occasions that can be a bit pricey but worth it. Would recommend & would return... again haha. * Final Grade: A or 9/10 read more

I now understand why everyone raves about the all day happy hour! Fogo offers such incredible deals like the $15 bone and $6 empanadas that it's hard to find better anywhere else. The beef bone was juicy and tender. We also tried the beef empanadas and picanha burger. The empanadas came out hot and flavorful. The burger was soo juicy, but a little too fatty in my opinion. I would've appreciated more spices or a variety of flavors in the burger. We upgraded to the yucca fries and they came out extremely hard. Would not pay for the upgrade next time. Besides the food, we would absolutely come back to indulge in their yummy drinks as well! We loved the original and passionate caiparinhas. Great deals and friendly service. We were surprised how packed it was on a weekday afternoon! read more

This location is a little smaller than the Irvine location. It has a very beautiful decor. We enjoyed all of the meat selections and the salad bar. Everything was fresh and nicely prepared. Service was good. Just have to be patient to wait for the severs to come around with the meats. Plenty of parking in the lot. Food is pricey but definitely will come back again. read more

I wanted to update my review since I go here weekly. I almost always get the full experience which includes everything but they also have the best happy hour in HB in my opinion. I usually am able to make same day reservations. Before their service use to be slow but I feel like it has improved. I also like that they ask what kind of meat you want and how you liked it cooked. I love their picanha, garlic steak, and bottom sirloin best. I also love their salad bar which includes cold cuts, cheese, pastas, and some fruit. If I don't do the full experience or have reservations then I like their bar. They have the best meat boards and drinks. The bartender is always nice. We will continue to come and love that its nearby. read more

You want to have the best night ever with impeccable service & delicious all-you-can-eat food??? Here u go, i'm about to give you the ultimate guide. You start your night by heading towards the buffet. They have endless options, i'm sure you won't get to all of them. Honorable mentions from the buffet: chicken salad, hearts of palms, cold smoked salmon, blue cheese. The Gauchos (meat chefs) will bring the high grade meats to you on skewers as they come fresh from the grill. You will have an opportunity to try everything but I recommend skipping the chicken/pork & just eating the steak/lamb. The Picanha top sirloin, Lamb Chops, & Filet Mignon were our top picks. On the SIDE you MUST ask for: - grilled pineapple & Queijo Coalho (I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH) 10000/10 - steamed vegetables 8/10 - garlic mashed potatoes 10/10 - carmalized bananas 11/10 - Pão de Queijo 15/10 - Pan seared salmon 10/10 DESSERTS: - Papaya Cream was pretty mid in my opinion. The temperature threw me off. If you are not a crazy papaya lover then I rlly don't recommend this. - Cheesecake Brûlée OMGGG so so so freaking good. Just imagine a cheesecake that is coated in a hard caramel shell - Motlen Chocolate Cake yummm i loved this it comes with vanilla ice cream too - Tres Leches Cake THE BEST DESSERT. i was literally obsessed with this. it comes with a crazyyyy good fresh marshmallow top Overall, we had such a great night celebrating my best friends' birthday. The service was immaculate. I have to shoutout two servers in particular because they made my night THAT much better. Michaela & Alonzo both helped us out so much & we're so kind. Alonzo was extremely attentive, we were never left with empty water glasses & constantly asked if we needed anything. read more

Five of us came here on a Saturday night (with reservations) to celebrate my husbands birthday. We were seated at a corner banquet table and unleashed (haha) upon the market table to grab some yummy salads/sides/etc. Our first waiter seemed a little...confused? He rambled on for several minutes about how we were all going to have a good time...it was going to be a great night...etc. It was awkward and I finally had to ask if we could order drinks. I think he forgot what he was doing. He seemed...high? However, he only stopped by our table a couple of times. The real star of the night was Henry who was...I don't know...manager? Head waiter? Customer service provider extraordinaire? He came by the fist time to see if there were any meats we wanted sent over specifically. Which was great because, honestly, we'd only seen chicken and sausage so far. We asked for all kinds of stuff and he made sure it all came by! He kept checking back in throughout the evening to see what else we could want and it ALWAYS showed up. At one point, my mom mentioned, jokingly, that she'd love some strawberries and HOLY CRAP - he brought her strawberries (she's on medication that makes it hard for her to eat a lot so you have no idea how nice this was!!). He made my husband's birthday SUPER special. It felt like he was pulling surprises out all night - special dishes from the kitchen, stopping by with funny quips - it was awesome! He even took great pictures for us of our table (even suggesting I let him clear the dirty plates before he took them). I'm sure we weren't his only table but it felt like we were. Henry is funny, in the best way, and there when you want him but not at all hovering. Seriously, this guy MADE the evening for us. We were all talking about how amazing he made our night when we left. Lol, that doesn't often happen but he left an impression. The food was good - Fogo always is (but bring back the bacon at the market table please!) - but Henry was the gem that made the night sparkle. read more

I would give 3.5 star. I like this location better than the one in Irvine. The food was just ok overall. Most of the steaks were overcooked -- at times it felt like eating jerky. The service was decent, but we asked for grilled cheese and pineapple and they never came. Probably won't be going back. read more

Once again this location in Huntington Beach outshines the other Fogo locations. Our first attempt at celebrating our anniversary was a complete failure at the El Segundo location. So we came here to Huntington Beach to do it right. From the moment we were sat down we were offered drinks and our meat options kept coming all night long. A special thanks to the manager who made it a point to make sure our experience was a special one. You are awesome Henry!! Never had an empty cup. We had our fill of the best cuts and enjoyed an amazing dessert. Thanks again guys for making our anniversary celebration a success!! read more

Made reservations weeks in advance for New Year's Eve for my wife and me--good thing we did. The place was packed, and the rain shut down their outdoor patio, so walk-ins were a hard no. A few hopefuls tried anyway... better luck next year. We didn't want to overdo it and roll into 2026 in a food coma, so I went with the single churrasco cut instead of the full AYCE. Hit the market table for a few full plates, then they carved up a generous serving of picanha--just ok choice. My wife ordered two sides, the lobster mac and crab cake, both of which she loved. Add a couple of cocktails and some tres leches, and we were done with 2025! It was a busy night, and service showed it - strong at the start, then kind of disappeared. Overall, good food and a fun night, but definitely felt the New Year's Eve rush. read more

I've been to Fogo de Chao a few times already and I really love the food all the time. It is very nice that you can request meet and they bring it to you while it's still hot I love you Chocolate molten Cake as always. Claudio is one of the guy who brings us meat, he always makes sure that we get what food we want and he always check on us to see if we are getting helped. He is very nice and very helpful. The place is very nice and quiet. There's a few people when we get there but it gets busy when dinner time starts. But overall the place, the service of Claudio and everything is great. read more

After a wonderful evening celebrating my husband's birthday at Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse with all of our friends, I realized I had accidentally left my wallet at the restaurant. I immediately called and left a voicemail, and by the time I arrived back at the location, the manager on duty - Alfredo had already gone to check for it and safely secured it in their safe. He returned my wallet to me with everything completely intact. I cannot express how grateful I am for this location, the amazing staff, and their commitment to honesty and doing the right thing. Not only is the food and atmosphere incredible, but the integrity and care shown by the team truly stood out. Thank you again to everyone at Fogo de Chão Huntington Beach for turning what could have been a stressful situation into such a positive experience. Highly recommend this restaurant to everyone! read more

I decided to make reservations the day before valentines. Hostesses were very nice! We were seated right at our reservation time, however no server on the floor were attentive. We were greeted by Paul in the beginning to take our drink orders, after that he never checked on us throughout our entire meal until the end. This was my boyfriend first time trying fogo and he was really underwhelmed with service, meat rotations. Every cut was super salty and we were crunching on the salt. We ordered the strawberry hibiscus cocktail which was really good! One of the girls cleaning up tables was super attentive than any of the servers on the floor. Overall, we left disappointed and not satisfied. read more

It was my first time trying the best of Brazil at Fogo de Chao. I thought might as well try, since it was a bit cheaper from what I normally get, the full churossco. So I made a reservation, just in case they don't take walk-in. After getting seated, I went to the Market Table where they ofter many different appetizers. At the Market Table, there are variety of item to choose from fresh salads to preserved meats. I think I even saw some soup and bread! My favorite item from the Market Table was the caprese salad, and the cheeses. Back at table, they brought out their signature cheese bread, mashed potatoes and crispy polenta. All the appetizers were so delicious. I especially loved their cheese bread. The servers walk around with huge cuts of meat. I love all the meats and some of my favorites were the lamb picana, pork belly, and top sirloin. The server usually ask how you like your meat doneness (rare, medium-rare, etc.), so you can get your preferred doneness. Most of my meat was medium rare. The meat were not too gamey and you can taste the natural flavors of the meat. Paired with the chimchurri, the meat was very good. Overall it was a good experience for me and I look forward to coming back again!! read more

Fogo de Chão - Such a great food - Brazilian Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

I came with some friends to celebrate a birthday. We had a huge party so we had made reservations way in advance for a certain time however it felt pointless because we didn't even have a table or get seated until 40-50 minutes later. We asked the host several times when our table would be ready and never really got any clear answers. Once we were finally seated inside our server was amazing and attentive. The servers came by often with the steaks but the quality wasn't the best. The meat was dry even if they were medium-rare pieces. They have chimichurri if you ask but even that didn't help the dryness. The salad bar was okay. Nothing that really stood out to me in my opinion but there was a good amount of variety. They also offer a small slice of cake as a birthday special. Overall I felt like it is overhyped. It could be this location that isn't the best but I haven't tried other locations to give the best judgement on that. read more

Surprised I haven't reviewed this place yet since we have gone here a few times already. We have tried the regular Priced menu and best of Brazil menu. To me, best of Brazil is great already for the price and what you get with it. Can't go wrong with steak, pork belly (DONT FORGET TO ORDER THIS! It's chefs kiss) Andddd my favorite, cheese with honey! Omg amazing! Most times the services ok here but tonight it was super slow! We came at around 515 for Our reservation and it wasn't even full yet but we waited a while for our waiter to even start us up. Then it took longer for meat to even come to us. It was really annoying waiting that long cause we see them passing but no one is stopping. I had to ask someone to get us meats more than once. And it was already hard to find or get anyone's attention. Food is good but service truly needs work. I even waited a while for water. Other than that, food is good. I guess this review is more for the service. Their creme brulee cheesecake is amazing btw! Must try!! read more

I've been here on several different occasions, as you can probably tell from the variety of pictures. I always make a reservation, just in case it's too full for walk-ins. The check-in is always super easy and quick, never had an issue even if I'm running a bit late on my reservation time. I usually go for either the Best of Brazil (when it's available) or the Full Churrasco Experience. Both include access to the Market Table. There's only a small difference between the two menus that I don't really notice it, and honestly, I'm happy with either. At the Market Table, there are several fresh salads to choose from, along with cold cuts, cheeses, fruits, and even soup and bread if you'd like to start with something warm. At the table, they bring out their signature cheese bread, followed by mashed potatoes and crispy polenta. All of the appetizers are just way too yummy not to have one..it might be a clever tactic to fill you up before the meats start coming out! But honestly, I don't even mind as it is delicious. I love all the meat cuts, but my absolute favorite is the lamb picaña. They usually ask how you like your meat (rare, medium-rare, etc.), so you tend to get cuts cooked to your preference. One thing I really appreciate is that if a specific cut hasn't come by in a while, you can always ask for it and they'll make sure one is sent to you. The staff is super accommodating like that, which is always appreciated. They also offer some other additional items like pork belly with honey, which was amazing, and a unique type of cheese bread that was super tasty. Overall, I always have a great experience here and look forward to coming back again soon! read more

Lunch was amazing. What a great selection of meats, vegetables, fruits. $55 for all-you-can-eat lunch including salad bar and meats is so worth it. Our server Katia was one of a kind! So friendly and nice. One of the gaucho's Oberto who is from Brazil kept the meats coming. My favorite was the lamb and filet mignon. The salad bar was packed with fresh vegetables and fruits. Look forward to coming back to this location next time I'm in the area. P.S. the ambiance here exceeded my expectation! read more

Fogo de Chao has such a great bar menu with happy hour deals! I came on 7/18/2025: It was my first time coming to the restaurant, and I dressed up excited as can be! The service was real slow, and I understand since it was a busy friday night. The FIRST appetizer we had ordered (spinach dip) did not make an appearance until after our entrees, totally not happy about that. The polenta fries that came with the picanha burger were so hard and cold, (the manager made up for this and gave us a fresh batch). The burger itself was awfully amazing! The service was quite questionable throughout this first visit, and let me not mention the sad accident of our server dropping aioli sauce all over my dress. :-( My second visit on 09/20/2025: I was a little scared to return back since my first experience was not so pleasant, but I believe in second chances. Might I say, I was very happy after this round. The pichana burger was so tasty, and the saucy legs were definitely saucy! Fogo does not miss on FLAVOR! Service was great this time, no complaints. I do want to note, the restaurant is inconsistent on the queijo assado. When I had it on 07/18, it was very blocky and hard. As opposed to on 09/20, it was cheesy and a natural looking, so much better than the first time. Not sure! But look out for that. The looks of the restaurant is beautiful, and always busy on the weekends. :-) read more

- I notified the staff beforehand that we're doing only 1 churrasco experience, as my guest had a special diet. She acquiesced. Later the bill came, turns out they charged 2 churrasco. I reminded her only 1, but she asserted that my guest ate meat too. . Maybe my guest ate it while I was unaware, but I wish the staff had given us a chance of clemency first: notify us that if the guest continues to eat meat, they'll charge a 2nd churrasco. That way, both my guest and I would've been aware, and I could even help remind my guest. Pretty hefty surprise bill spike. - Very slow service at first. Waited ~10 min for the first few rounds of meat. + Still delicious quality meat. Mouthwateringly, finger-lickingly good as ever. - Wish the picanha came around more frequently. + Always love their expansive, complementing Market Table. Vigorous selection of deli delights. - For helpfulness, the staff were very inattentive. Their nearby side conversations drowned out our pleas for assistance. After their chats subsided, they walked away and ignored us despite our calls even garnering neighboring tables' unwanted attention. Repeatedly. - Some staff workstations are situated too close to the diners' tables. The ruckus from their work is disruptive against the elegant dining experience. + Exquisite restrooms. + Ample parking. + Located in beautiful Bella Terra and conveniently right off the 405. read more

The meats are delicious. You can choose rare, medium rare, medium, well done, however you like it. I was very impressed with the quality of meat and the service provided. I ordered the Sea Bass. It came to me like warm, and season less. They happily made me a new one that had crispy flavorful ends, a delicious flaky yet moist center and seasoned great. The prices are great for all that is provided. Even my lentil soup was scrumptious! I do believe I will return with a party of friends to indulge in the goodness with me. Thank you for your service!! Everyone was awesome. read more

Always a pleasure coming here! Fogo rewards definitely have me coming back but the staff here is amazing. Shoutout to our server Katia for being so pleasant and kind. Taught us how to say the restaurant name correctly, we were always wondering about the pronunciation. We asked for more of the bananas and she brought us out really plump ones! And another shoutout to Claudio! He was so thoughtful, when he was serving the meats he noticed my bag on the chair and grabbed a cloth napkin to lay over my bag just in case any meat juices were to spill. Also he brought out a ton of goodies for us to try like the grilled pineapple, pork belly with honey, and a meat that I don't remember what it was called but wow it melted in your mouth! The absolute kindest gentleman! Of course I'll be back, especially for such great service! read more

It honestly pains me to write this because I've always enjoyed going to Fogo de Chão, but my first visit to the Huntington Beach location was a huge disappointment. From the moment we sat down, the service was incredibly slow. It took about 20 minutes just to receive our first cut of meat, and then another 20 minutes between each round. We asked multiple times for different cuts, but even when we requested 2-3 items, we'd be lucky if one ever came out. We repeatedly had to flag down servers, and at one point when our waitress asked how everything was, we had to tell her we hadn't even been served any meat yet. The issues didn't stop there. We had to ask for basic sides like cheese bread several times--literally 4-5 different staff members--before anything showed up. There was no explanation or apology for the delays, and the staff often came across as dismissive and rude rather than helpful. Dessert was the breaking point. We ordered the pineapple and cheese with honey, and it took 40 minutes to arrive--we timed it. We followed up with multiple servers, all of whom said they'd check on it, but no one ever did. When we finally spoke to a manager, instead of a sincere apology, they were oddly aggressive and kept repeating, "How can I make this right?" in a way that felt more confrontational than helpful, which made the situation even more uncomfortable. To make matters worse, the bathroom was in terrible condition--one toilet was flooded, the trash was overflowing, and paper towels were all over the floor. For the price we paid, this was completely unacceptable. Overall, this was one of the worst dining experiences I've had. It was bad enough that I won't be returning to this location, and it honestly makes me reconsider going to Fogo de Chão at all. read more
