Charcuterie bar/buffet area
Raven P.

I'd been hearing so many good things about Fogo de Chão that I decided to take my husband there for his birthday. Our reservation was for 7pm, and they were really busy! So busy that we didn't actually sit down to eat until almost 8pm. We loved the little cheese rolls they bring to the table (and constantly restock), and the charcuterie bar was really interesting. One negative thing about their spread, though, was that there were a decent number of little flies? But the food was good, especially the smoked salmon. We ordered the Indulgent Churrasco, and recieved both the bone marrow and the crab cake, which were both delicious. The meats were also cooked very well, and I loved the drink selection. I do think this is one of those "one and done" types of experiences, but I don't regret it.

If you love steak this is the place for you. You get a card, you put it on RED and no one shows up to your table (with meat). Put it on GREEN and just endless types of steak. You name it. My first time to FOGO DE CHAO was the original OG in Dallas and it was way more intense than my experience here. It was almost overwhelming in Dallas. Way more relaxed here in Scottsdale. Which was a win but also a bummer, I was not getting the meat I hoped for (but if you ask the staff- they are more than happy to try to get the meat you're wanting to your table) The salad bar is almost as big as my house, candied bacon, every fruit you can think of, breads and soups..... don't fill up on the salad bar. The desserts are amazing, they celebrated my son and his gf with dessert as they were celebrating their EVIT and high school graduations

I can see the appeal of Fogo de Chao. If you want a large amount of mid quality meat at a relatively affordable price, this is for you. We mostly got beef, lamb, and sausages. The beef is not impressive by any means, which is understandable given the price point. The lamb was too gamey for my taste (I could barely eat it). I also find sausages a bit too salty. The overall vibe is kind of confusing. It feels like they're trying to be upscale, but it doesn't really get there and ends up looking a bit tacky. They also consistently made people wait past their reservation time, which didn't help the experience. 3 stars are for the energetic and efficient servers and the satisfying salad bar. This concept might work for some people, just not for me. I'd rather pay more for a smaller amount of excellent steak any day.

We loved having a birthday here at Fogo! Everyone was incredibly considerate and happy to help. We sat by the bar while we waited 5 minutes for our table to be cleared for our reservation. The cocktail menu is stupendous! $10 cocktails for the all day-every day happy hour just cannot be beat. The venue is gorgeous, although on the louder side, it still feels intimate and inviting. Many servers holding stakes of select cuts of meat bustling around and keeping things interesting. Lighting is well done in many places for good pictures and video. Meat selection for the Full option is well worth the money and the Market Bar has incredible sides and such. We went back a couple times for select items and were never disappointed. Everything served was perfectly seasoned and medium rare-medium options were available. Our server, Angela, was incredible! She had our drinks before we knew it, and never left us with any questions. We felt like the only table in the room! Her team, with Anahi and Dorothy, were unmatched. We indulged in each of the bottle girl carts that came around, and would recommend you do the same, everyone is personable and excited to serve. Drinks are downright delicious. Will be coming back any opportunity we have. Nothing bad to say, if I could give a higher rating than 5, I would!

Even though it was Valentine's Day, they still did a great job. We had reservations but still had to wait about an hour due to the extremely high volume they were experiencing for the holiday. However, the staff was very pleasant, brought out small samples and water, and tried to make things as painless as possible. It's a pretty small Fogo compared to other locations but had a great atmosphere and layout. With the volume of business, they were doing, there was no way that any of the food could possibly be cold. And it wasn't. All of the cuts of meat that they brought over were delicious, piping hot, seasoned well, and plentiful. It's Fogo de Chao. If you enjoy unlimited meat and Market Table, this is a great place to enjoy it.

I'm not a huge fan of the all-you-can-eat meat options, but I was really impressed by their Market Salad Bar. It offers a fantastic variety of fresh vegetables, proteins, and soups. Some must-tries include the candied bacon, grilled vegetables, hummus, and fresh fruits. We came in at 11:30 when they open, love this spacious and the decor. Service was wonderful--staff were attentive and always ready to meet our needs.

We came in to celebrate my husbands birthday Saturday night and had an awesome time. Got seated right away for our 615pm reservation and our servers greeted us promptly. The 2 gentlemen were very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. They kept our waters full all night, kept the cocktails rolling and even brought out a rolling shot bar! The food at the market selection table was very tasty as well as all the steak/meat choices. One thing I will mention is we did ask for ribeye 4 or 5 times and when it finally came it was rare and very fatty & then they never came back. All in all everything was fantastic and we had a lovely time celebrating here!

Green means we're ready to eat!

My husband and I have visited a few Fogo de Chão locations, but Scottsdale is hands down our favorite! The staff is incredibly friendly and went above and beyond for our kids. Our little guys felt so special with all the thoughtful attention they received. A huge shoutout to the entire team, with a special thanks to Eddie for turning this into what my children now call "our favorite place." Great food, phenomenal service, and unforgettable family memories. We'll definitely be back--mostly because the kids won't stop asking to return!

Table
Pablo R.

Made a reservation Saturday for my friend's birthday at 8:30 they didn't seat us till 9:51. The table was dirty. The food was really rushed because they close at 10:30. The food was good. The experience was below average.

Variety of meat
Shirley V.

*Dined 4.5.26 (Easter Sunday): I /we REALLY wanted to like this place esp as my Aunt was gifted a gift card but overall we're unimpressed. The salad bar & the Brazilian bread were tasty the salad bar had decent options. It was a holiday & the staff were all frazzled scattering all around & speeding from table to table. All cuts available were a little closer to rare than medium rare & it was almost impossible to find a server w/ the temp of meat you'd like. The meat was bland. I'm okay w/ basic salt & pepper but even w/ me adding them....it did not help. Servers were nice & attentive for as busy & pulled all over the floor as they appeared. Lastly, we had 2 slices of key lime pie & they were the most SOUR/TART slices any of the 6of us ever tasted. We took a pics & videos of us tasting the slices to record our puckered faces. It was funny bonding moment but no, no key lime pie should NOT be that sour. Least the 6 of us didn't think so. Don't plan to return as the price/flavor value didn't match up. It may be easier to just get a full size steak cooked to your ideal and be done with it. I'd give the flavor of the food/experience 2 stars but 3for the staff friendliness given how chaotic as their shift appeared for them.

The thermostat
Kelsey N.

The restaurant was unbearably hot. The thermostat showed the dining room was 82°F, which made it really uncomfortable to enjoy our meal. It's disappointing because the food was good, but the lack of air conditioning completely ruined the experience. Until the A/C is fixed or the restaurant is kept at a comfortable temperature, I won't be returning.

Went for husband's 50th birthday, we never been anywhere like this before so it was a whole new experience for us and it was well done, would definitely come back for next special occasion! We had a great waitress, all the crews coming by the table with different meat options was excellent! It got a little overwhelming with one coming in after another but couldn't miss an opportunity not knowing when it'll come by again as we lost count after 7 different meat. Loved the salad bar area that you can dish up to go with your meat selection. Next time we will do mac n cheese on menu to go with meat. Their dessert menu was hard to just pick one, so we got two which both was amazing! Place is pretty big in size, as busy as they are that's a good thing, definitely a reservation needed to get in as it's slam packed (rumors are true) This is the place for "meat sweat" so come prepared by being hungry, dress up nice but make sure there's extra room in those pants for your stomach to expand (you'll thank me later!)

Mashed potatoes were fine.

Ask the Community - Fogo de Chão

Is this place a buffet / ayce? I'm seeing separate prices for other things but I'm only interested in the ayce. Does the ayce include desserts & drinks or is that separate?

Yes, it is a buffet-style restaurant; however, certain premium meats are available at an additional cost, separate from what is included in the standard buffet price.

Is there any offer for Birthdays, I really want to take my mom there?

I went here this year actually and there's no like offers or deals for birthdays. The only thing you get is a dessert.

Say, I order churrascarria and If I order a tomahawk steak for the table and I can't finish it and say I order dessert as well, may I take those as leftovers home if I don't finish, since I paid extra for the latter two?

You can take whatever is left on your plates and what you ordered a-la-carte. You cannot get a bunch of meat as part of churrascarria to take home.

Does anyone know what brand of coffee they serve?

The brand of coffee is Geva. This is at the Scottsdale, AZ., restaurant.... I wouldn't know if it's the same with every franchise.

If our group shows up on a Friday at 1:30 PM and their lunch goes until 2PM, are we charged for lunch or dinner?

The time you put ur order in should reflect the lunch schedule.

Nunca e ido a comer allí me pueden explicar cómo es la experiencia en fogo de chao gracias?

Yo no megusta pero mi Marido legusta mucho , mucho! Para me el carne es muy dura. Y el service es mal.

Are there heaters on the patio? UPDATE: My family and I dined last night (which was chilly) and there were a handful of moveable heaters. The staff turned 2 of them on for us. We also opted for the table closest to the fire which provided warmth too

I did see heaters on the patio when I was there recently

Are we allowed to bring our dog if we sit outside dining area?

I've been there several times recently and have never seen them using the outside. They also don't have the heaters out there anymore.… 

What is the recommended dress attire for men/women?

Smart casual is fine

Is the salad bar open?

Yes, and it's amazing!!! A server will go with you and serve you what you want every time to reduce the risk of contamination

Do they let you take home your leftovers?

Yes, they allowed me to take my leftovers as well as my dessert that i did t get to finish.

Is there a corking fee?

Hello Suzi. Please accept our apologies, but we cannot allow outside alcohol to be brought into… 

Do you send steaks to hotels.?

Luis, Due to our service style and our commitment to our food quality we do not offer to go or… 

What is the difference between lunch and dinner Full Churrasco Experience?

There are more meat options available for dinner when compared to lunch. You can order some cuts a la carte but it will add up. Both are delicious and you will try plenty of meat options

Does the salad bar have ceviche?

It does not, it's more of stuff you would find on a meat board at a wine bar. Olives, fruits, cheeses and sliced meats.

Can I see their menu?

Stephen Dean, the manager at Ocean 44, actually sent me a $75 giftcard after seeing my previous…read morereview so that was a really kind gesture!! My boyfriend and I came back last night and even though it was a busy and packed Saturday night we were seated immediately as walk-ins at the high top bar. This place was poppin! There were so many parties getting cocktails around us. We were offered the water options of bottled sparkling, bottled still, and house filtered and even the option of a dark napkin cloth or their standard white napkin cloth. The person next to us was eating the Collosal Shrimp Cocktail and the shrimps looked HUUUUGE so we had to get it. They charge $13 per shrimp so we ordered 2 each for a total of 4, the Pacific Yellowtail Hamachi, the Wood Fired Spanish Octopus, Loaded Baked Potato, and the Cookies and Cream Cake for dessert. We were served the chilled and raw seafood dishes before the cooked and baked dishes which is the best way to enjoy your meal (light to heavy). First up was the Collosal Shrimp and they were MASSIVE!!! I included a photo with my index finger for size reference. They came with cocktail sauce, spicy mustard, and "atomic" horseradish. My preference was mixing the horseradish with the cocktail sauce. Both my boyfriend and I were highly impressed by the Collosal Shrimp, 10/10. The Pacific Yellowtail Hamachi came up next and this was also another favorite of the night. The yellowtail slices were large and they actually wrapped around thin slices of heart of palm (artichokes) and topped with something crunchy which gave it a nice contrasting texture against the soft and smooth yellowtail. I really loved the added ponzu and wished there was more of it, 10/10. Next up was the Wood Fired Spanish Octopus which was cooked to perfection, it was soft and did not have a chewy/rubbery texture. It came with fingerling potatoes, roasted tomatoes, and chopped up bacon bits in the creamy sauce. But the creamy sauce it came in lacked citrus to brighten up the dish. We actually asked for a lemon to squeeze over it. I think I've come to the conclusion that I don't like creamy sauces with my seafood since I didn't enjoy the spicy mustard with the Collosal Shrimp and also the creamy sauce with the Octopus. I give it 7/10 but my boyfriend gives it 8/10. Lastly for the savory dishes came the Loaded Baked Potato. It came pre-built with butter, cheese, thick cut bacon, chives, and a side of sour cream. I liked the sour cream so much that I asked for more, and the bar back dropped everything he was doing to go grab me some. The service here is UNMATCHED, I've never had a request fulfilled so quickly!! We wrapped up our dinner with the Lou Lou's Cookies and Cream Cake which was also massive. It was like a bougie ice cream sandwich with beautiful peaks of cream which I had assumed was a not-so-sticky and not-too-sweet marshmellow. We were so full though we took half of it home. My boyfriend and I both agreed that this time the entire experience (and our food selection) was way better!! Not to say our first visit was anything less than amazing, we still had a great experience then but this time around it was S-Tier and magical!!

To me, they are so much more than many of the fine steakhouses. The place is exquisite and the service unsurpassed. We had been shopping text door at the mall and showed up really early for our reservation. We were quickly accommodated none the less. The server, Tony was upbeat and happy. He provided exceptional service throughout. I also appreciated the manager's stopping by to make sure that everything was perfect, and it was. Our evening started with a nice card wishing us a happy anniversary. I thought that was a really nice touch. It looked even better surrounded by a glass of wine and Norwegian Crab Legs. They added a pan of their signature rolls to complete our delicious appetizer. For our main course, we had a petite filet, perfectly cooked to medium rare, two lobster tails, a crab cake add-on, mashed potato and roasted brussel sprouts. Truly a meal fit for a king. For our special celebration they brought out a key lime pie, beautifully decorated, wishing us a happy anniversary. Ocean 44 is the most memorable dining experience I've had in my six decades of life. Expensive, but truly a very special experience that will last a lifetime.

However as soon as I found it and immediately after entering Pretty Penny I was transformed to the cutest little restaurant. I was greeted immediately and had made a reservation so even though my friend hadn't arrived yet, they sat me down. They instantly offered water and menus (food and cocktail). I noticed that the menu seemed very small and the dishes were shareable -- I don't eat meat so I was hoping my friend wouldn't mind sticking with fish and seafood (which she didn't). As soon as I got to my table there was the cutest sign that said welcome to Sarah Sherman and guest -- it was such an adorable and personal touch, I loved that! As soon as my friend got there we immediately both ordered the cold brew old fashioned -- we thought about the espresso martini but this just sounded too good to pass up -- and we were not disappointed! This drink was so tasty and strong. We immediately ordered the bread (sourdough boule) to soak up some of the alcohol as well as some oysters and the salsa. The oysters were so well spiced and were absolutely delicious. But the bread, the bread, the bread -- the server mentioned that it took almost 9 months to develop the bread recipe and it served. It was the best bread and butter that I think I have ever had! The salsa was good but probably was my least favorite of everything and it was still super yummy. We then moved on to the octopus tostadas. Sometimes octopus is not my fav -- it can be too chewy but this was so amazing and incredibly flavorful. It was starting to be my favorite dish until we ordered the Hamachi -- OMG!! Talk about a mouth orgasm-- both my friend and I were yummming it up -- but seriously this bite was so complex with different flavors coming up with every chew -- it has coriander candied peanuts, fermented pineapple, avocado, pickled fresno, toasted coconut and aji amarillo yogurt -- The server mentioned that this was the chef's least favorite dish which I totally do not understand because this was off the charts in my book. We also tried the earl gray whiskey sour, which was light and delicious, and ended with the shrimp toast and the espresso martini. By the way the toast on the shrimp toast was like a little fried dough triangle -- sooooo gooood! The martini was good but the cold brew old fashioned really stole the spotlight for me. Other details I loved that just elevated the experience: Purse hook (very important to me), the little trays for your utensils, metal coasters, incredibly attentive servers, fantastic music, great ambiance and the cutest was the penny they put on top of your check. So cute -- was not expecting such an enjoyable all around experience!! Will be back 1000%!!!

And then we had the fried calamari with its sauce and its lemon, which was also extremely good. Loved how authentic it tasted and wasn't overly coated in flour. For our entrée we had a fettuccine shrimp Alfredo, which was very good. It was by far one of the best Alfredos we have ever had truly set the bar. The shrimp and noodles were cooked to perfection.
