If you're thinking about coming here for the World Cup watch party I would seriously reconsider. We were seated at the bar because the main dining area where the game was being shown was completely full. From there you could barely hear the TV, which made it hard to follow the match or enjoy the experience. The set menu was also a disappointment. I understand it came out to about $55ish per person, but what you actually receive is very minimal: two chicken sliders, a shared charcuterie board with strangers, shared slices of picanha with strangers, and a shared bowl of pão de queijo and two drinks (I don't drink). It felt like because we were seated at the bar and not in the main dining area, we didn't really get the full experience. On multiple occasions staff mentioned they were "so busy," which I understand, but we were consistently told this while waiting for items that never fully came or were delayed. That's not something guests should have to absorb when the issue is seating and organization. read more

We had an absolutely outstanding experience at this Fogo de Chão in Miami Beach--easily one of the best visits I've ever had at any location. I dine at Fogo de Chão about once a month back home in Georgia, so I already had high expectations, but the level of service here truly exceeded anything I've experienced before. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was exceptional. Manager Sergio was incredibly attentive and made sure everything ran seamlessly throughout our visit. It's clear he takes great pride in his team and the guest experience. Our server, Manuel, was top-notch--professional, friendly, and always one step ahead of our needs. Brandon also stood out with his attentiveness and positive energy, consistently checking in and ensuring we were well taken care of. And Marisabel at the cashier was the perfect finishing touch--warm, efficient, and genuinely kind. The food was just as impressive as the service. The meats were flavorful, well-seasoned, and perfectly prepared. What really stood out was how accommodating the gaucho chefs were when they learned that I prefer my cuts a bit more well done. Without hesitation, they made sure to bring options cooked exactly to my liking, which made the experience feel personalized and thoughtful. Overall, this location sets a new standard. Between the exceptional service, the high-quality food, and the attention to detail, this Miami Beach Fogo de Chão delivers an experience that goes above and beyond. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town--and honestly, I wish my home location in Georgia could match this level of excellence! Fyi: They will be relocating to Lincoln! read more

Went here for a friends birthday and we all had a great time! We had a private room in the back and did a package that include all different types of meats and 2 drinks per person plus their salad bar which was a very reasonable price. The servers were excellent and it was a great experience. Our only regret is that we didn't come here starving because wow there was SOOOOOOO much delicious food that kept coming. read more

Came here on Tuesday, June 16, while it's a slower day for sure not a busy weekend at 5:30 PM the meat shouldn't be overcooked and taste like rubber with almost every single piece of meat serve served the outer skin was burnt to a crisp and hard as a rock. Some food wasn't even room temperature when it was served and was just cold. On top of that we had a fly constantly around our table and a gnat or mosquito landing in our food. Went to use the restroom and the trashcan inside the restroom had no trash bag and the wall mounted paper towel dispenser was sitting very lopsided not a good look for a somewhat high-quality restaurant where you're paying $70 for an experience and the experience includes cold food overcooked food burnt food flies gnats and mosquitoes and a despicable bathroom that had turd stains on the toilet seat. When I addressed the bathroom to the manager he claimed oh we don't have to put trash bags in our trash cans in the bathroom which technically by law they don't but he was acknowledging that they don't care to even put them in in the first place which again for a $70 experience do you think they would take better care of their facilities. Also ordered a old-fashioned that tasted 95% straight water and after one sip I sent it back and they said oh don't worry we've taken the drink off complementary from your bill Will no shit I'm not gonna pay for a watered down drink that tastes nothing like an old-fashioned but they thought they were doing me a favor by removing the charge for something I refused. I paid with cash and my change was supposed to be $40.10 and they just gave me 2x $20s back and held the dime which is theft. I called them out on it and told them I don't even want it and just stormed out of the building but the fact that they tried to do that is very petty. I also have photos of the bathroom if any management cares to see. Also the two times I needed a refill I had to wait about 10 minutes each time to get a hold of my server to ask because every time they came by they never look to see that my cup was empty or asked if I wanted a refill or just went ahead and grabbed a refill it was only Sprite not like a expensive alcoholic drink but the attention to detail was very lacking in our server for a $70 experience I shouldn't have to be putting in the work. read more

I'm usually not a big chain restaurant fan but Fogo de Chao has won me over. The ambience is always beautiful vibe, the service is A1,and the food fresh and delicious. I usually always take advantage of the all day happy hour along with the amazing salad and soup bar! The choices are endless on the salad bar and the shareable items on the happy hour menu in the bar area are more than enough to turn into a full meal! I'm also a member of their rewards program so I get free items like the shrimp and lobster cocktail due to my loyalty! The drinks are quite boozy and mixed to perfection! Quality experience without breaking the bank! read more

I hosted a networking event at Fogo de Chão back in February. We had a food and beverage minimum but due to last minute no shows we ended up slightly under it. I was surprised that they weren't flexible. Instead of offering a reasonable solution to keep me satisfied (like rolling drinks onto the bill) they simply charged me out of pocket $300. I followed up multiple times and eventually they replied saying no credit or fix was possible. I even reached out to the overall manager to no response. In other situations, I've always found win-win solutions with venues that kept the relationship going. I host regular networking events and this could have been ongoing business for them. Honestly, for a big chain, I expected better. If you're planning a group event, I'd look elsewhere. read more

We went as a group and had a great time . The salad bar had plenty of items for you to choose from to go along with the meat. Also the variety of meat was vast. We asked for lamb and it was the last type of meat that was serviced. In fact, one side of the table was getting dessert already. The service was great. Valet was $25, but we found street parking. There is all day long happy hour every day!!! read more

I have been coming here for the past 10 years, it was 5 stars each time, I really don't know what happened but the last time in 2/2025, it was a disaster, I guess we were there off hours too early for dinner and the meats were chewy, probably overcooked. Fogo de chao is my favorite restaurant as I have been to Rio de Janeiro and all over Brazil 3 times. I recently went to Scottsdale, Ariz, it was a glorious meal unfortunately in my hometown, Huntington Beach, it was so bad, I rated it 2 stars and Google must have made it viral through YELP, I received 495,000 VIEWS! the Fofo in HB manager still have not refunded me what they overcharged me so I'm glad my review is still going viral! I'm going to Fort Lauderdale soon, the Fogo there was excellent. I don't give up on the Fogo Miami yet as I love South beach and the mayor there had cracked down on the trouble makers, it's peaceful there now so I'll be cruising out of MIA again and again. It must have been a one off bad experience, my real complain was why they had the AC to the point of freezing me, I had to wear my jacket making it very uncomfortable to eat. read more

I recently went to FdC with a group of about 8 friends. I had not been to this location in about 10 years, but was very happy with how good the service and food still was. We had an amazing time. The waiters were very attentive and made the experience fun. The buffet had all the good stuff that made you want to go back for more. On the night I went, I enjoyed that they had roasted lamb in addition to the steak cuts. Overall, I'd recommend this restaurant to others. read more

My old pun from my Miami Lakes days is still valid as I can never be a vegetarian. This continues with the last weekend in Miami spice where I met a friend for dinner. I'll tell you if you are a meat lover, Fogo is the kind of place where both your tummy and your pockets will leave very happy. Their $45 dinner menu has as much of a spread as if you went full price (I think only two types of cuts are not in the Spice menu). You definitely will have to put to use the little yes and no signs on the table because the flow of meat, of delicious yummy meat is practically nonstop! We first started off with their salad bar, from which everything I tried tasted fresh. My favorites were the caprese salad, ají cachucha (sweet peppers), as well as a corn and tomato salad. I didn't see the feijoada although it was listed in the menu. Of the meat cuts, I definitely loved the picanha, both the steak & chicken medallions as well as the sirloin. I found the chicken to be pretty juicy as well. We did have to remind them to bring us the queijo asado (fire grilled Brazilian cheese with honey drizzle) as it was on the menu but hadn't made it to our table. As far as desserts we tried both the Creme brûlée and brigadiero. The creme brulle was definitely my favorite with its lightly crispy crust and berry garnish. The brigadero seemed lacking; it looked like just a regular piece of chocolate cake. The ambience was very nice, with the right amount of lighting and a certain corporate luxe. Lighting over the salad bar was my "architectural highlight". By the way, salad bar ingredients were deliciously fresh but some weren't labeled. This could be an issue for someone with allergies. Service was pretty attentive the whole evening as well. I'd definitely come back for regular dinner. read more

Good atmosphere. Service so-so. The master-d was quiet but friendly. The waitress had flat affect the whole time. Did her job but we didn't see her smile with teeth showing until right before the bill arrived from her. Food-- we knew Fogo de Chao and most of the Brazilian steakhouse are going to be salty. I would say this location served their meat on the high/saltier side. Definitely not a place to go if you have high blood pressure or chronic metabolic disease. In summary, a good restaurant to go pretending you have money. But you can spend your money better to feel more satisfied. read more

Went to eat Brunch and they have a fabulous buffet that costs $50 that includes all you can eat meats. The salad bar was magnificent and also the meats . The service is outstanding! The ambiance is first class! Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

I love Happy Hour here, great food, very good drinks, at the bar and Patio they have Happy Hour all day every day, just amazing But service nowadays is pretty bad, we went at 4 pm, nobody was there and yet it took forever to get the food, we had 3 different bartenders while there and not once one of them asked if we wanted to order something else, every time we had to call them to order, ask about our foo etc. I hope the service can improve going forward, I know there has been a management change, not sure if that is the reason, it will not stop me going there, I just hope to have a better service next time. read more

Fogo never misses. Great service and place If you're hungry and love meat, this place is a dream. The meat selection is nonstop -- picanha, ribeye, lamb chops, sausage -- all perfectly seasoned and carved right at your table. You literally don't have to move. The salad bar is underrated. It's not just lettuce -- we're talking prosciutto, cheeses, smoked salmon, roasted veggies. Honestly, you could skip the meat and still be impressed (but why would you?). Pricing is more than fair for the quality and endless flow. Just pace yourself -- this is a marathon, not a sprint. read more

Fogo de Chão - Churrasco - Brazilian Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

I have no context for what my I, my wife and our two daughters experienced on Valentines Day eve. It was negative on almost all counts, save the excelllent picanha. I do have a great deal of context for what constitutes a good churrascaria experience at any level - be it a roadside joint or a fancy (and relatively $$) Rio or São Paulo establishment. I'm an American, bi-lingual in portuguese, with over 40 years of first-hand experience with Brazilian food culture, both in Brazil and in the States. Let's get the worst aspect of Fogo de Chão out of the way first: A total lack of service structure so egregious that once we were seated, we felt basically on our own for the next hour and a half. No one came by to take drink orders, to engage us, or to explain anything (which would have been unnecessary anyway). The meats were of poor quality, overcooked (a sin at any churrascaria), and the "salad buffet" meagre and sad. Horrible experience. read more

You MUST hit up the all day happy hour here. Great food and drink specials. They have live music outside on the weekends. We love the fried cheese and the burger is amazing. Service is always good. read more

This location was a complete disappointment. Brazilian cheese bread Pão de Queijo was dry and hard as a rock they never refilled Brazilian bread or mushed potatoes and crispy polenta fries, they did not give glass to my boyfriend to drink water even tho we ordered bottel of still water and when I ask to bring the lady has an attitude!tThe waiter were avoiding us did not even get to chance to eat my favorite steak picanha,only waiters came to offer chicken and some hard as rock garlick stake,horrible location would never come back! The coral gables location is way better read more

I've been to Fogo many times and it never disappoints! This time we came in for lunch on Xmas day, it was busy but we got seated right away. The service was top notch and we ordered some lime caipirinha to start. Immediately once we turned the card over we had a gentleman offer us picanha which is our favorite cut! It was super juicy and cooked medium which is how we like it! I tried the rice, beans, candied bacon and Cesar salad from the salad bar and everything tasted fresh and delicious. We skipped on dessert because we were stuffed but next time we have to try it. read more

This was my first time at any Fogo de Chao location. I called at 5:30 to make a reservation for 6:30 and the girl at the desk told me that they were very booked. I asked if they could accommodate walk-ins, she said maybe. So i went to OpenTable and made a reservation. Funny enough every 15 mins were available online for appointments, so pretty much the hostess/receptionist that answered my call sucked. I arrived with my mom for dinner. In the elevator we met a walk-in who was sat right away because MOST OF THE RESTAURANT was free at 6:30PM. Service was impeccable. Julianna waited on us and she was very friendly and welcoming. We had picanha, fraudinha, sausage, lamb and of course the buffet. The buffet included all of the Brasilian staples. Farofa, molho vinagrete, palmitto, cold cuts and salads. I could eat like this every night. The ambiance was very inviting. The lighting and the music create the perfect atmosphere for something romantic or great for a large party. I will definitely come back. I am already craving the steak. As for parking, there is a garage behind it that leads into the restaurant and valet upfront read more

THE BEST HAPPY HOUR - somehow, not many people know about the happy hour at Fogo de Chao. It is all day, everyday when you sit at their bar or patio. Drinks are decently priced but very delicious. We had the rose on happy hour and it was light and not acidic like most cheap happy hour wines. As for food- that is the highlight. We got the chicken sliders ($6!), the Churrasco Board, and the Polenta Fries. Although the board was a bit more of a tougher meat, the sliders and polenta fries came through. Each served with a delicious pink sauce, I absolutely love this place. The service was phenomenal at the bar, you will not be disappointed. read more

I had Fogo de Chāo's Picanha, a tender seasoned thin sliced steak, with robust flavor, and the Medalhōes Com Bacon, also a tender seasoned steak wrapped in hardwood smoked, honey cured bacon. Both are delicious and cooked to perfection! Had these with quinoa tabbouleh, steamed brocolli and feijoada and rice or black beans and white rice. The Frango, which is marinated chicken legs and thighs is tender and very tasty as well. The warm Paō De Queijo, a gluten-free warm soft cheese rolls made of yuca flour and parmesan cheese is also very good! A must try! read more

I had the worst possible experience at this steakhouse! I went with my friends on January 1st, we just had the salad bar ( we dont eat meat), and as soon as we said that would be salad bar only, the started treating us poorly. We asked for water 3 times and nobody would bring it, we were even asked " you dont eat meat?" Our main server didn't checked on us once. Just because we dont eat meat, you need to treat us in this way? Like we dont have money to pay for it? Also the food ia very bad, rice and beans seems like made the day before and no taste, the street corn horrible. I will never come back to this place anymore. read more

Sure! Here's a review: Disappointing Experience at Fogo de Chão I had high hopes for Fogo de Chão, but my visit was incredibly disappointing. The meat, which should be the star of the show, was tough, dry, and often overcooked. It certainly did not reflect the high-quality cuts you'd expect for the premium prices they charge. The manager offered me a Filet Mignon cut, but it never came. When I asked him about it, he pretended as if he forgot, when he just never ordered it. Major BSer. For the price, I expected much better quality and attention to detail. Definitely not worth it--won't be returning. Stay away and find an Argentinian steak house. Texas De Brazil is also 10x better. read more

Visited for a girls night. The ambiance was cold, typical steakhouse aesthetic. The waiters were attentive and friendly. We were excited to try this place but unfortunately the food and their salad bar was VERY underwhelming in every way. We opted out of the endless meat rotation and just ordered entrees with access to the salad bar. They served us a really small portion of mashed potatoes, sweet plantain and fried yuca as a side and it was tasteless. The salad bar options wasn't great either and the chef who made my salmon was scared of seasoning because it had none. The drinks were the only stars of the night. Would recommend the bar for drinks, appetizers or maybe the FT Lauderdale location, but you would probably get better food and better bang for your buck at Texas de Brazil. read more

Fogo de Chao was an excellent date spot. My friend wasn't hungry and would do whatever I wanted. After some discussion we chose Fogo de Chao but lacked a reservation for a holiday weekend. Graciously we were seated at a high top in the bar. Then my not hungry date and I discussed dinner. Reluctantly he chose picanha still not hungry and I chose the sea bass. The food was delicious. My date had countless rounds of picanha complete with plantains and other sides. He liked the picanha so much that he was given a whole picanha steak from the skewer. We have talked about how much we enjoyed Fogo de Chao several times since then. Highly recommend! read more

I ordered takeout here. On arriving at the front desk, the bag with my items is on the table. But the waitress insists that she seats several people in the line (who are all behind me), first. while I wait. staring at the bag with my food in it. she then disappears while I wait for her to come back, a child vomits all over her mom and all over the floor. the servers literally just continue to walk past it. for several minutes. some of them literally walking in it. a different guy then eventually appears and I say i'm here to pick up my food. I point to the one takeout bag that's still on the table. he then starts grilling me on its contents and whether or not i've paid for it. fair enough . I guess they don't put names on the bags. they should. I eventually arrive back home. I open the bag. no cutlery. and one of the items is wrong (I ordered asparagus and not broccoli). the meat I ordered is great. as I eat it with my fingers. i guess have to eat the key lime pie like a slice of pizza. probably the most chaotic pick-up experience ever! read more

Came here for Miami Spice with a friend. The atmosphere was nice. It had a typical upper scale chain restaurant vibe. The salad bar had a lot of options and was very fresh. They brought out wonderful sides of polenta, mashed potatoes, and glazed bananas. The meats were really good and plentiful. I really enjoyed the top sirloins and the lamb option. During our dinner they also had a bartender make specialty Brazilian drinks at the table. The overall experience was good, but not necessarily standout. It's one of those places you go to when you are in a mood for a lot of food and fun with family or a large group. read more

Came to this location with friends, sat at the bar since the group wanted that spot. It was a nightmare ... both my bf and I ordered the chicken sliders.... Both orders were raw! The restaurant was empty so there was no excuse for the lack of care during preparation. Grilled cheese tasted like plastic and the drinks weren't great. Chill ambiance and music were accompanied by their stunning Christmas tree, only good thing about the spot. Restrooms were dirty. Service on behalf of Desiree and the manager were unpleasant. With so many places to choose from in South Beach, I'd go anywhere but here. read more

This location was what you may expect in Miami. Nothing great, nothing bad. It's a fogo. Due to it being a little slower than normal we had to request a few cuts to be brought out, but that wasn't an issue. Salad bar was pretty standard, and seemed to have slightly less choices than others I've been to. It was a good meal, nothing great or memorable, but it did the job when we were craving MEAT! read more
