The service was very detailed, articulate and attentive. The buffet was plentiful and well organized. Our drinks were perfect. The steaks and chops were delicious and prepared as we ordered. Great value! read more

I am normally a fan and of Fogo , but I have to admit I was a bit disappointed this visit. The staff and servers were hands down outstanding! Atmosphere, was as always fun and energetic. But what I was upset about was the selections of meat. Beef ribs/ribeye cuts never made it to us. Seems the same 1 cuts came all the time. Flavor was as always good but it seems that they are curbing the quality, just not being too obvious about it. Heck maybe it was a bad hair day and I am being over exaggerating here. Lol. But I still enjoyed this meal and will absolutely dine here again! One and a half thumbs up! Lol read more

Had dinner here on Wednesday night. Came in around730 - 8 and salad bar was fresh and stocked still even though it was near the end of the night. Salad bar could have been maintained a little better as far as food along the edges or not in the bowls. Service was still very attentive and fresh meat was constantly still coming out. Food was good! Overall a great dinner. read more

Coming to Fogo De Chao isn't preparing for just a meal, you're preparing for an endless meat feast. I felt like the overall experience in this location was decent where you'll be leaving with meat sweats and zero regrets. *AMBIANCE* The restaurant is quite large, but I never found it to be crowded to the brim. We always came with reservations just in case. Theres cards on the table that you can flip (green/red) like a traffic light to signal whether you would like the servers to come / not come with the proteins. *FOOD* Don't sleep on the salad bar because it has much more to offer. It has cured meats, a nice cheese spread, mixed salads. But lets be honest, you came to carnivore heaven. The gauchos will constantly be bringing out meat like they are on a mission. Don't skip the picanha. Or the decadent honey cheese. I absolutely live for the sides. The bowl of Pao de Queijo? Yes, I can eat bowls of those in a sitting alone because they are just so delicious. The crispy Yuca fries with sweet plantains? Double yes. *SERVICE* Based on some visits, the service has been mixed. Most of the time, the service is really great though on some occasions you may be stuck with an inattentive waiter where you need a drink refill stat because you're about to black out from all the meats. Come hungry and wear stretchy pants! read more

I gotta say this might be the best Brazilian steakhouse there is in Philly. We came here to celebrate an early Valentine's Day for dinner, made reservations and were seated immediately. They offer valet but there's a parking lot that we parked at downstairs of Macy's which is literally right next door. Fogo is so nicely decorated and pretty fancy. We did the regular steak dinner option and it was about $65 per person which is not bad at all and totally worth it. They offer a whole salad bar option in the middle of the restaurant where you go up and pick whatever you like. Servers walk around with meats and cut it for you and put it on your plate. My favorite was definitely the lamb and the garlic sirloin. Love this spot and I highly recommend coming here if you haven't! read more

The meat was good, service was subpar. They were always trying to upsell their items. Dessert was the least impressive items of the meal. Sangria was good. Very expensive quality not worth it. read more

I was there as part of a large group attending a conference. We had reservations and were all seated in a separate room towards the back of the restaurant. The staff did an excellent job explaining how everything works (green side up if you want a slice from the skewers or orange side if you want to pass). You don't need to be a carnivore to enjoy. There's something for everyone. For the amount of food to be consumed, the price is quite reasonable. If you're vegetarian, there are items off the menu you can order besides the large buffet salad bar. The salad bar has all different salads, vegetables, cheeses, roasted garlic, artichokes, mushrooms, etc. Our servers were constantly coming around with different proteins to slice----mostly beef, but also pork and lamb. They also kept us happy with beverages. To start they'll bring out the little cheesy biscuits. They also provided mashed potatoes with scallions as well as polenta. My advice---- pace yourself and only take what you can consume. Also the bathrooms are located close to the entrance, but downstairs. read more

WORST restaurant experience. Took over 30 mins to receive my food-which were just basic appetizers. My guest did not receive a plate for the churrasco until I had to ask for one. The lack of skilled meat cutting was noticeable (staff cut rare meats when asked for medium). The burrata is not actually burrata but a more chewy mozzarella, will say the best part was the well seasoned yucca fries. When I asked to speak with someone I was addressed rudely and the supervisor refused to give me her name and nearly tossed me the check. The layout of the floor is too tight, the tables are so close together that the churrasco experience seems unsanitary given the number of people passing and seated too closely. The service staff could barely fit between the tables to slice the meats. I have visited the Fogo in NYC which was a fantastic experience, the service was impeccable and the open space provided a more sanitary environment. And on top of that, the supervisor did not even ask if we wanted to order dessert. NEVER will visit the Philly location again. read more

Wow wow wow ! This weekend was my first time at FOGO / Brazilian steak house and it was a memorable experience. I'm surprised as a foodie it took me this long to jump on the bandwagon. I treated my friend for her birthday and she suggested FOGO. We were already going to be in Philly and luckily this place was close to where we already had made plans. It was not too busy or packed on a Saturday night which made the service ( offerings of the meats ) very quick. We actually had to turn our card over often because of how fast the servers were coming. After the first 2 rounds I found my favorite items and was able to pass on the ones I didn't enjoy. I recommend trying everything and expanding your palate. My favorite item of the night was probably the friend cheese. I'm not a cheese person but it was delicious ! Our drinks were delicious and strong- we both ordered different flavor Caipirinhas. The birth girl received a complimentary dessert and she chose the creme brulee. It was good. We left stuffed !!! All in all I can't wait to try different branch locations. read more

Excellent!!! I had the best time. Thoroughly enjoying Philly. thank you FOGO. The food was amazing! Service even better!

We were in town for a dance competition this past weekend. I have been to other Fogo de Chao locations so no secret I enjoy it. This was probably one of the biggest locations we've ever visited (large and high ceilings) and it was pretty packed in too! Really nice inside and the servers and staff attentive (refilling waters/sides) and the carved meats arriving. If there is a particular meat that is not coming around, you can ask for those and they will quickly come around with those. I love Fogo de Chao and will make it there any chance I get. Sorry no pics ... try everything! read more

meats were generally good- one piece of chicken was perfect, the next dry/overcooked; some of the meats were very good flavor, others were very tough to cut; sausage was tasty but salty; mashed potato side was good (only warm when tabled) - plantain was really good. Ambiance at 7p was loud- i couldn't hear the meat description due to background noise, so i guessed what the meat was for the most part. service was top notch- our table server was attentive and fast. Ive been 2x , both at same night and time, and ill return. It is that good !! Next time ill try an earlier time , different night. read more

It's ridiculous how much we love this place. It's your birthday? Let's go to Fogo. Got a promotion? Gotta go to Fogo. Your mom died? My condolences. She'd want you to go to Fogo. It's a random Tuesday and I'm breathing - Fogo! Get the most out of your experience: -parking will be the toughest thing. I can usually find street parking. If not, there's a garage under one of the buildings around the corner. Of course then you're gonna pay like $100 between food and parking so again, street parking is your friend. -sign up for the Gaucho club. You get bday coupons, miss you coupons, we love you coupons. -go for brunch. No really Go. For. Brunch. Waffles. French toast. Beef rib. A combo made in heaven. -Skip the shrimp that comes around. It's extra and more importantly, We got shrimp at home! -Request the beef rib as soon as you sit down. My bestie be pulling them to the side at the hostess table to ask for it before we even sit down smh. So greedy lmao. -I do love their cocktails. Alcohol good, cheese rolls bad. Those are a distraction. They fill you up on mid. -I start and end with a salad. Mind ya business. -the candied bacon is an appetizer, a palate cleanser, and dessert and I eat it as such. read more

First time at Fogo de Chao for me but my son has been to one at a Chicago location before. It seems many of the restaurants here in Philly were former banks. The decor has that old school vibe with the stunning high ceilings and chandeliers. We were warmly greeted. I appreciate the host going over what our price per person includes. Make sure you inquire about the pricing which can change depending on the time of day. Those pillowy Cheese Bread (like mini popovers) that they give you as soon as you sit down were dangerous. I stuffed 5 in a row into my mouth before I even hit the market table. "Hit Me, Baby, One More Time" by Britney Spears came to mind. Good Lord, I couldn't stop myself. Our favorite cut of meat was the Picanha. Two versions of it came to our table and those were my faves hands down. Some of the other meats like chicken and pork chop were a bit dry. They also gave us homemade hot mashed potatoes, plantains and polenta fries straight from the kitchen. I'm not a huge meat eater so I appreciate the selections at the Brazilian Market Table. I thought the sweet juicy watermelon slices with feta cheese & papaya was a good way to cleanse all that fattiness. I can't help but notice how gorgeous their silverware were. It was ornate and it had some serious weight to them. My son said it's probably to slow you down when you're eating the meats. Lol. Service was 10/10. The hostess came by with the dessert menu to let us choose whatever we wanted as a complimentary birthday treat, which was about $13. We left a nice tip. read more

I have to start off by saying that the idea of a meat heavy meal was not my choice. However, I accepted the invitation to dine here. The Ambiance in the restaurant was very nice. Warm wood panels and a beautiful dining room. The bathrooms needed attention. The standouts for our table were the picanha and the bacon wrapped steak. I also enjoyed the fried plantain. The service was a bit...off at times. Ex. While pouring our water the waitress had stuff in her right hand and poured water with her left which didn't seem to be her dominant hand as quite a bit of water splashed around on the table; as mentioned in some other reviews, the meat servers would come around with the same selections multiple times and we certainly didn't see as much variety as we would expect; flipping the card to the No more I've had enough red side didn't seem to deter them from asking if we wanted additional cuts. Nevertheless, all staff were very cordial. The complimentary special occasion dessert was very kind and appreciated. The cheesecake for dessert was humongous and is certainly shareable. read more

Went to this location for the first time in several years. I was extremely disappointed with the meat service. Meats were very slow coming out despite the restaurant not being very crowded. We had to ask for several times for specific cuts to be brought to our table. Also several times there were several at the table with the card on green and we were completely ignored. The poor meat service was a big disappointment as the rest of the service was very good. read more

The food was excellent and for the amount of quality meats I ate I definitely feel that it was more than worth the price. I also hit the salad bar which had a ton of delicious things from cheeses and prosciutto to picked veggies and soup and salad. The staff were all friendly and kept the food coming as long as we had our service medallions flipped to green. My only hang ups were the painfully slow bar service and the key lime pie. We would have ordered much more alcohol but it took so long to get even a simple beer that we all gave up. And the deserts were all delicious but the key lime pie was a little disappointing so stick one of the other options. Overall a great experience and I'd go back read more

Worst food and service I've had in years and I've been to other Fogo de Chao locations. In my party of 10, only one person was satisfied. Salmon was over cooked and not seasoned. Most bland mashed potatoes I've ever had. We sent back food we didn't order. Buffet did not have a great selection and was just okay. Even plantain was overripe. There was no accommodation for the four people who did not eat their salmon and left full plates. But we were still charged heavily with 18% gratuity added to the bill. And I left hungry...after paying hundreds of dollars. read more

I've been to this Fogo location about three times for dinner now and have loved my experience every time. My favorites from the Churrasco experience are the picanha and filet mignon. The salad bar has many options from cheeses, cold meats, lox, and more. It is great for taking a break from the meats. Service is top notch, especially from the servers and gaucho chefs. Our server, Arden, recommended the Strawberry Hibiscus Caipirinha, which was a great suggestion. It was super refreshing and affordable ($10) compared to many other cocktails you can get in center city. The gaucho chefs will also make sure they get back to you with a temperature to your liking. I highly recommend Fogo for either for a casual dinner or celebration. read more

This review is strictly for their all day happy hour at the front bar. Good food, great prices, awesome drinks. If you don't want the full feel of the Brazilian steakhouse experience and are just looking for some caipirinhas, go here. They have amazing appetizers at a good price, you're started with some yummy cheese bread and service is great. I've been there a few times now when I'm craving their food without being overly hungry for all the meat. Definitely must try. read more

I was invited to a Brazilian steakhouse. I just enjoyed the atmosphere of life and dancing. The food was top notch and all the meats were really good. I liked everything I tried. The atmosphere was nice and there was enough space for our whole group of three families. The desserts were amazing. I think I will come back and try other dishes. read more

To start we went on Xmas day, so consider that when reviewing my post. Just so you know it was $70/ per person that night. We had a 5:30 reservation, arrived at 5:30, and were told that it would be a 15-20 minute wait, so I went to the bar w/my sister, while my husband and daughter waited in the totally packed front area. It took 5 minutes to order 2 glasses of wine. Another 5 minutes to receive them (in other words, insufficient bartenders for the crowd). Got a call that our table was ready from husband, but still had to pay the tab. Sent my sister to go with them, while waiting for the bill. Took another 5 minutes to get the bill, and another 5 minutes to get the slip to sign. Then went looking for them in a HUGE room, packed with people just standing around from the front door to the middle of the room. Found our table, but the server had already explained the way the evening would work, but I, or course wasn't present. I tried to go to the buffet table, but there was a stream of people coming through, then a few waiters. Finally got to the buffet table, and watched a woman pick the Bleu cheese off the platter with her fingers, so had to go to the other side to get the cheese my sister requested. There was a variety of deli cheeses to choose from, but they all looked dried out, so couldn't go there (and I don't spend $70/PP for deli meats/cheese. The asparagus spears were underdone, so inedible. The salads/produce options/fruit were nice and fresh, and the smoked salmon w/capers were a nice option, until I saw the person in front of me ask "what's a caper?" Then dipped her fingers into the bowl to taste a caper. No thanks! The lamb was so fatty, I couldn't eat half of it... The steak was undercooked - the server asked what level of doneness I wanted, and I said medium rare, and he proceeded to to cut off a well done slice, so I said "no, more rare" so I got a rare piece of steak - inedible. My daughter said the chicken was fine. The pork sausage was so fatty, yet undercooked , so I had to pull it out of my mouth. Each time I got up from the table to go to the bathroom downstairs, or the buffet, just 10 feet away, I had to wait a good 30-45 seconds for other patrons and servers to pass by before I could move cause the place was SO packed. They provided some sort of hard bread type of thing, and mashed potatoes for the table. Bread was inedible, and despite asking for a bit more of the mashed potatoes, we never received them. We were seated behind a server's area, so I was constantly be bumped against, so that didn't help my experience, at all! Yea, Merry Christmas.... Yea, not impressed! The bill w/tax and tip was about $600 for the 4 of us, and yes, that includes drinks/tax/tip Clearly, they need more servers for some nights..... read more

Had an absolutely perfect experience! So we were there Sunday January 19th, 2025 at 1:00pm. We were immediately greeted by a very pleasant hostess when we entered the restaurant. We had a reservation so our table was ready as soon as we arrived. Immediately our server, James came to the table and greeted us. As a party of 5, 4 of which had been to several Fogo de Chao locations in the past, James asked if we had been before and if we were celebrating any occasion. It was my daughter's birthday and her boyfriend had not previously been to Fogo. James took the time to review the entire menu and options for their brunch. Quite frankly, even after visiting locations throughout the country I have never been given such great attention or such a detailed explanation. James was probably the best server that I have had at any Fogo de Chao location. He is apparently also the bartender, so I encourage people to pop in even if it's just to get a drink because he was the best. I really hope the management realizes how great a person he is and how well he represents the business. On to the food, perfect. They had a great selection as always and everything at this location was seasoned to perfection. Having been to several locations, it is often hit or miss depending on peoples taste when it comes to how the meats are seasoned.. Sometimes too much salt, sometimes too little, which of course I prefer the later since you can always add, but at this location, everything we had was wonderful. The waffle bar and add-ons for the brunch were also great. And the best part is the brunch is slightly less expensive for basically the same experience as dinner. If you have never been to Fogo de Chao, I highly suggest this location as your first time. I want to thank the entire staff for a great meal and wonderful experience. I look forward to going back. read more

Amazing first time at Fogo de Chao. We stopped in on a whim and the team quickly seated us and introduced us to the menu. Our server advised we try the full experience and it did not disappoint. Once we confirmed our drinks we went over to the salad bar to load our plates. we sat down the servers stopped in with all the meat selections asking what's the temp we wanted. My top 3 were the garlic parm pork, lamb and filet. Some cuts were not my favorite so I declined. We ordered the seafood tower to balance the meats but it was served on a plate. It was okay, mango chutney did not go with the warm garlic butter in my opinion. Overall the drinks were great ambience was cozy and staff was helpful. I'll certainly visit another location read more

I have never been to a Brazilian steakhouse like Fogo before so it was definitely a great experience. Please, before you go, come up with a plan on how you want to go about your meal. Without a plan it will be overwhelming if you've never been. For the price of the all you can eat dinner, $65/person, you get the salad/appetizer bar and as much meat as you'd like which is great for being able to sample many different cuts and styles of meat. I read tips online to determine how I wanted to attack my dinner. I skipped the salad bar until the end and avoided any filling appetizers. I wanted mainly steak and lamb and kindly told the servers I was passing on most of the other offerings which I think worked out well. We started off with drinks. There were a couple of $5 beers on the menu which included Stella. Some reasonable and more expensive wines. The mixed drinks which started around $10 for traditional Brazilian cocktails and went up to $16+ for other specialty cocktails. I just had a glass of Johnnie Black ($16) and a Stella. My girlfriend ordered a Blood Orange Manhattan which was delicious. All the tips I've read online were accurate. Servers with large skewers of meat come around often. They will slice meat table-side for you as long as your button is flipped green side up on your table signifying you're ready for more. I passed on many of the options early on because I read the less premium cuts were offered much more often than the ribeye, filet, pork belly, etc. All the meat I had was very good for the most part. The Picanha, Ribeye (Beef Ancho) and Filet Mignon were my favorite cuts of beef I had and would recommend to everyone. However, the filet and ribeye were served so few and far between. Our server asked us a few times if we'd like to request any meats and even then, it took 10+ minutes for them to come around. The bone in rack of lamb was also near the top of my list, but at the very top was the pork belly drizzled with honey. I could have filled up just on that but it was very difficult finding a server with pork belly the whole night. I think the concept of a Brazilian steakhouse is great especially for those who enjoy overeating. I probably wouldn't have experienced it though if we weren't given a gift card as we knew it would be somewhat expensive and we're not super enthusiastic about traveling into Center City. The valet parking was a mess and it was raining pretty steadily which I'm sure didn't help. I had a very good time and loved the food but I feel like this may be one of those things where you must experience it once and once is enough. read more

Fogo de chao is made for Americans. I've gotten the experience before and it's not worth it. I ordered the salmon and my partner ordered the sea bass, but they were out of the bass so we both got salmon. Unimpressive, and it came with broccoli instead of the listed asparagus. I guess they were out of that too. The salad bar was okay, their soba noodles were undercooked and their options were a bit lacking. read more

Great dining experience at Fogo. I took my bf here for his bday dinner and we had zero issues. People constantly walked by with different cuts of meat. It never ended! The salad/side bar is amazing with a ton of tasty options. Do not get carried away by it or you won't eat all the meat that comes by. A man was walking around with personal seafood towers and pineapple rum drink...this should be obvious but it is not included. He never mentioned an additional cost and our waitress did not either so we were a bit surprised when we were charged a lot extra for it. It makes sense that it would not be included but no one said anything either so keep that in mind! Pro tip: buy gift cards from Costco. Spend $80 for a $100 gift card. I bought a few! read more

I was sadly disappointed with my experience. They packed in so many tables you felt like you were on top of everyone. The servers couldn't even get around our table to place drinks down or serve the meat. Our waiter almost destroyed the cork while attempting to open the bottle of wine. We had to ask for certain meats to come around to our table. The quality of the meat was not what it should have been and the variety of choices were much more limited than what was listed on their website. The salad bar was filled with tasty meat, cheeses, fruit, salads and other odds and ends. The best thing was the spicy candy bacon!! The bathroom was not checked or cleaned during the course of our evening. read more
