    Food was so good! Best burger I've had in a long time. Service was great but it was lunch time so it was not busy at all.

    Came here with a work group to celebrate. The staff were a little overwhelmed but the food made up for everything. Soooo good and was able to share with the table. Fogo is a Minneapolis classic. Not my first or last time coming here

    UPDATE: The owner send this nice email. BUT, after sending my phone number NOBODY contacted me yet. I guess they are not serious about this .... NOT GOOD! We have not been here for several years and thought it was time to go again. Friday evening and the place was pretty packed. That being said the place has lost it charm, it now fells more like a cheaply all you can eat buffet place. Certainly not as formal as it used to be. The price is also high compare to other steak houses in town, so not worth it. The meat was a little bit hit and miss but overall not to bad.

    Absolutely wonderful service. By far the most attentive servers I have ever had, and not just for the table-side meat service. My water glass was never less than half full, and they cleared plates like machines. Everyone was friendly and willing to answer questions. The inside space is expansive, and can be used by groups of all sizes, or a casual group looking to take advantage of the bar. We chose the Full Churrasco experience for our first visit to Fogo, which means we started at the gorgeous buffet to sample salads, vegetables, stews, soups, cold meats and cheeses. Then we came back to the table to flip our "we want food" token to the green side, starting a parade servers carrying different hot foods (beef, chicken, pork, cheese, pineapple). You either use your tongs to grab a slice, or the server will use their knife to place a chunk on your plate. (see the photos) My favorite items from the Churrasco service were the Bottom sirloin, the sausage, the parmesan pork, and the pineapple (honestly so good). We sipped on Brazilian limeade (it has condensed milk in it) and ate sides of mashed potato, yucca fries and gluten-free cheese bread while the different hot food walked by. We had three different sauces for the meat- chimichurri, horseradish and peppers (though it really didn't even need it). though we were very full at that point, we ended with a piece of chocolate mousse cake. An excellent and extremely unique dining experience. Definitely worth trying at least once! I need to go back to try their cocktails and plated menu.

    Did the indulgent churrasco over lunch as a solo treat. They are quick to bring over multiple plates of fried goodies to fill you up including yuca fries, plantain and these delicious buttery mashed potatoes? I also opted for the lobster tail and molten lava cake. I got plate after plate of delicious beef and lamb with a few Parmesan chicken and pork pieces being allowed in as well. It's all you can eat and it's done extremely well. I also LOVE the black beans you can get from their self serve food bar. My only complaints if I had some were how rare the meat is cooked. I'd prefer medium or higher but meat here skews heavily on the rare to medium rare side. I always ask for the most done parts but parts of the experience were still mooing on my plate. I've also previously had their caramelized cheesecake before and I thought it was nasty but that's just my opinion as a cheesecake lover. Was it expensive? Yes, it was about 100 after tip for their most expensive offering. Would I come again? Absolutely.

    Market side table salad

    Love this place so much! I like the lamp chops, brisket, & pork belly the most. The filet & ribeye has a distinct taste of liver which I dislike & makes me wanna be vegan for the rest of my life so I'll have to avoid those next time. I'm posting this review the next day & I'm very close to becoming vegan cuz of that taste is still messing with me, yikes. For the market side salad bar, the best salad bar spread ever is here. I love the Caesar dressing, corn, red beets. Their cheese bread comes out warm. I like it with fig fruit spread, the triangle soft cheese, & caramelized plantains The service was slow during lunch I wasn't sure who my server was she disappeared. The meats come out pretty fast & he asked me what meats I wanted. There were only 3- 4 tables filled, lunch is the best time to come here on a weekday you basically get the entire place to yourself, even the whole brisket if you wanted. Very clean interior & lots of tables.

    Went to Fogo De Chao for happy hour and it was a great experience! I honestly hadn't known they had happy hour, but loved being able to dine in without having to indulge in the full dinner experience. The happy hour menu has quite a few options including different meats, yucca, crab cakes, and more. I unfortunately did not get to take as many pictures because the food was just that good! Flavorful, fulfilling, and some of the tastiest food I've had in a while. Our service was great and they checked on us frequently. I love how open and spacious the space is, so although there are lots of folks dining in it never felt too crowded. I would highly recommend checking out their happy hour!

    Yellow bird

    We stopped in for a meal as we were in the mood for some meat. There is no better place than to go to a Brazilian steakhouse if you are in the mood for meat. It had been 20 years since the last time my husband had been at this particular location. It is still a lovely location and the service was great. It is a very nicely sized location plenty of room for families in groups or for a date. The meat selections were fantastic as always. The only area that I would love to see some improvement in is the choice of desserts to have a non-dairy option. Their drinks are all fantastic. I chose the yellow bird and it was delicious.

    Omelette bar
    Ken T.

    I've been here many times, but this is the first time I ever came for brunch. In fact, I didn't know there was a brunch until we sat down. As always, the ambiance gives off a fancy vibe, but not so fancy that I feel like I need to be dressed to the nines. The differences with brunch: omelets station, waffles, sausages, and breakfast potatoes. For the most part, these were fairly standard. I enjoyed what I had, but it wasn't the top of my list. My only complaint is that they ran out of potatoes before I got to the salad bar and it was never refilled in the 2 hours we were there. The wait staff was very good. They kept checking on us to make sure we got the meats we wanted and they were on top of the drinks. I love the Brazilian limeade, and our waitress never let it be emptied for more than a couple of minutes. Previous experiences, I have been ignored for all of that, so I'm pretty happy with everyone this time around. My favorites were the fried cheese, salmon, and lamb steak. Oh and who could forget the Pão de queijo! I missed the lamb chops this time, but that would almost definitely have made the list.

    We had a 7 PM reservation but found no valet signs until we reached the corner past the entrance. Once we located it, the valet was quick for both drop-off and pickup. Initially, we were seated near the bar, where guests lingered. Unfortunately, no server greeted us, but manager Michael stopped by to check in. He took our drink orders right away after learning no one had been to our table, but our drinks (a limonada and beer) arrived after the food, as the bartenders seemed overwhelmed. Regarding the food, while the sides were good and the salad bar offered some decent options, the steaks were mostly overcooked or very rare. The overcooked steak was tough and nearly grey, while some were under-seasoned. The bone marrow and chimichurri were excellent--rich and flavorful. We were frequently offered chicken and pork instead of steak. A female server checked in halfway through our meal but never returned. Michael was the only one checking in regularly; he even asked about our meat preferences and arranged for them to be sent over. When we asked a male server for the bill and a box for the bone marrow, it took about 15 minutes for him to return with a small box that didn't fit. We reconsidered ordering to-go meat and dessert due to the slow service. When we received the bill, it was incorrect. Michael came back and clarified the mistake, offering to comp one of our meals. Overall, Michael, the bone marrow and the limonada were the highlights of our experience.
