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.

Crab cake

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?

We decided to grab a table in the bar instead of our reservation in the dining room since it was 8pm we wanted a little more action. We ordered the pork chop and pork tenderloin. The pork chop showed up completely different from the menu description and didn't look like any photos at all. Even had a different potato without being told. I actually made a joke about the giant steak knife provided, assuming I wouldn't need it for pork cooked medium. Boy was I wrong!!! I could barely cut the meat and chewing it was impossible. I asked the server to take it back as it was honestly inedible. After seeing the pork tenderloin I decided to go with my trusty chicken flatbread which is actually very good! My dining companion asked for her dish to be redone without the very sweet sauce. . The manager even decided to argue with her about the sweetness of the dish. They brought out the rock hard pork chop again instead! At this point we just decided to share the flatbread. The server was a nice guy but made sure to remind us they closed at 9pm (It was 9:02). We would have been gone by 9 if the food wasn't so messed up. Plenty of people were still in the restaurant. We ended up leaving our half full wine just to get out of there. I would return for HH at the bar but NEVER have dinner here again.

We usually frequent Steak 44 when celebrating our birthdays (our entire family has September birthdays!), and it has become a tradition we look forward to year after year. From the moment you walk in, the experience is nothing short of exceptional. The service is impeccable, as you would expect from a high-end steakhouse, but it's the attention to detail that truly sets this place apart. Every entrée is cooked to perfection, and the flavors of the food and sides are on a whole different level. Simply put, every bite is a celebration! One of my favorite features is the beautiful glass-enclosed booths overlooking the kitchen, which add a unique and exciting touch to an already spectacular dining experience. And just when you think the evening couldn't get any better, Steak 44 follows up the next day to make sure your experience exceeded expectations. Now that's what I call going above and beyond! If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience, whether for a special occasion or simply because you deserve to be spoiled, Steak 44 is a must. Be sure to book your reservation in advance through OpenTable, as this popular spot stays busy!

My friend and I arrived dressed nicely, only to be stopped and told that her outfit violated the restaurant's dress code because it was considered "athletic wear." She was wearing a tasteful white two-piece pants set, nothing revealing or inappropriate. The gentleman who approached us, whom I assume was a manager, initially refused to let us dine. Rather than argue, she showed him why it wasn't and then we politely thanked him and walked away. As we left, my friend immediately expressed how uncomfortable and singled out the interaction made her feel. Approximately two minutes later, the same gentleman came outside and told us he would make an exception "this time" because we seemed like nice people. That statement only made the situation more insulting. If the dress code was truly the issue, what suddenly changed? And why did whether we seemed like "nice people" determine if we were welcome? Under normal circumstances, we would have taken our business elsewhere. However, my friend had driven an hour specifically to enjoy one of her favorite restaurants, and it was already 9:30 p.m. What should have been an enjoyable evening turned into an uncomfortable experience that affected the entire night between her and I and ultimately caused it to end early. I won't speculate about the reasoning behind our treatment, but I will say that what we experienced, especially compared with other guests we observed, left us questioning whether the "dress code" was being truly the reason we were disrespected. I've always heard great things about Steak 44, and I appreciate the restaurant's reputation for excellent food and service. Unfortunately, my very first visit left me feeling disappointed, disrespected, and unwelcome. Fine dining should come with high standards, but those standards should be applied consistently and respectfully to every guest. No one should be made to feel that they have to earn the right to be treated with dignity.

It feels suspiciously like a trick. Like maybe you round that corner and three guys steal your wallet. But trust the process... because apparently this little side quest unlocks some fantastic food. Everything we had was delicious. Even the freaking carrots were good. CARROTS. Crunchy, flavorful, properly cooked carrots that somehow had me voluntarily reaching for more vegetables instead of just tolerating them until the meat arrived. Speaking of meat... I got the bison meatloaf, and it was fantastic. Eating it made me feel like I'd wandered into a scene from Dances with Wolves. One minute I'm majestically riding across the plains alongside the buffalo, feeling connected to nature and contemplating man's relationship with the wilderness... the next minute I'm putting the buffalo in my mouth. Circle of life. My wife's salmon was excellent. My kid's steak was cooked perfectly. My sister got the chicken and liked it enough to take the leftovers home, which is really the ultimate restaurant compliment. Plenty of food tastes good at the table. Food that earns valuable refrigerator real estate has accomplished something. But the absolute star for me was the Old Fashioned. Perfectly made... and sitting there with a proper giant ROUND scube. Immediate bonus points. If you're serving an Old Fashioned over a bunch of sad little refrigerator cubes, we've already started our relationship on shaky ground. Oliver's understood the assignment. I ordered another. Then perhaps another. History gets slightly fuzzy, which is generally a sign that the Old Fashioneds were doing excellent work. The staff was also fantastic and happily made a few adjustments to menu items for our group without making it feel like we'd requested amendments to the Constitution. Great food, excellent drinks, accommodating staff, and vegetables somehow worth mentioning in a Yelp review. Highly recommend. Just remember... when the front door sends you around the corner, don't panic. You've been chosen for the quest.

We sat there for almost 2 hours and the waiter never offered to change out our plates or silverware. I had sticky pancake syrup all over the place and had to use the same dirty plates the entire time. Oh and we wanted to order a birthday dessert but every selection included some type of nuts and I have a severe nut allergy. Go figure, another disappointment. This did not feel like a fine dining experience and I probably wouldn't return for brunch. I don't understand how these restaurants get away with this!

'traditional' tapas Gambas al Ajillo flavor aka less paprika please. Saudero tacos (a brisket confit suadero tacos with a chile jam, aguacate, serrano cruda, toasted sesame, fresnos and micro cilantro) We sat on the patio for a wonderful AZ spring evening. The service was great. I also enjoyed their extensive tequila and mezcal menu. The only downside is the parking -- it's pretty small and shared with Lou Malnati's next door!

We came to Citizen Public House to celebrate my daughter's birthday. I've been wanting to try this…read moreplace for years, and it was the perfect excuse. The staff and service were friendly and attentive right from the start. The drinks were fantastic--a little too easy to drink! ​As for the food, the short ribs I ordered were incredible, and my wife really enjoyed her Mac and cheese. The only real miss of the night was my daughter's beef stroganoff. They swapped traditional egg noodles for spaghetti-style noodles, and overall the dish just missed the mark for her. Thankfully, the desserts brought things back on a high note--they were absolutely delicious. Overall, a solid spot with great atmosphere, service, and drinks.

Instead, we were publicly embarrassed and treated like criminals for absolutely no reason. After we were seated, I closed the curtain because the table next to us was loud and obnoxious. Minutes later, the manager, Hannah, walked over and decided our entire group was "too intoxicated" to be served. Not a single person in our group was causing a scene, being disrespectful, or acting out of control. We were sitting at our table, ordering dinner. What makes this even more ridiculous is that after taking our drink order, Hannah personally brought out three green tea drinks in champagne glasses. Then, almost immediately afterward, she decided we were somehow too intoxicated to stay. Which is it? If we were supposedly too drunk to be there, why were drinks being served in the first place? We had already ordered what would have been around a $700 meal, and instead of being treated with basic respect, we were stereotyped because we were a bachelorette party. It felt like Hannah had already made up her mind before giving us any chance to prove otherwise. Restaurants absolutely have the right to refuse service to genuinely intoxicated guests. What they should not do is make assumptions based on the type of celebration or the size of a group. This wasn't responsible service--it was poor judgment, inconsistent management, and an incredibly embarrassing way to treat paying customers. We'll happily spend our money somewhere that values its guests instead of profiling them. !!! DO NOT GIVE THIS PLACE YOUR BUSINESS!!! We ended up at ZUZUs, they treated us with respect and dignity. Food was 10/10.

Went here to celebrate a birthday. Made a reservation for a high top table, we were sat promptly…read morewhen arriving. The bar is a little loud and there's way too many lights on and open windows for a dinner spot in my opinion. We ordered cocktails east coast sour is amazing I could have drank 10 it was dangerous lol They were offering a signature summer menu and it was excellent. The food and price. $79 each person got and app entrees and side plus dessert. I got crispy calamari fries and my man got meatballs. We shared everything so it's like having the best of the menu! I got the pork chop and mashed potatoes. He got the filet and roasted broccoli with lemon. For dessert I had some butter cake and he had crème brûlée. The service was outstanding and again the food was 10/10.

Update- Noted below, I received a response from the restaurant, that I thought was very well…read morewritten. I emailed them the same day and never heard a word. Sad Went for my wife's birthday. Food was great. The restaurant was super clean and they had complimentary valet. Service at the restaurant was where I rated them lower. Our waiter, was less than attentive. We told him it was our first time at Bourbon & Bones but he was more focused on regulars and a manager. The servers and support were fantastic. We received a phone call 2 days later, which I thought was a nice touch. We frequent Mastro's, Maple & Ash, Fleming's, and Steak 44. Food wise I put it in my Top 3. Unfortunately. I would put waiter service at the bottom. If you are going for food alone it's a great choice. If it's for service. I would suggest Mastro's or Maple & Ash. They are the best!

Found another spot to walk to for lunch!! Bootleggers Modern American Smokehouse is LEGIT!! I know…read morebecause Guy Fieri said so!!! The service we received was superb, and our food came out in a timely manner. We ordered the Hickman Deviled Eggs to start and WOW!! They definitely put their own twist on these bad boys!! They are plated beautifully and taste even better! I chose the Pick Two option for lunch and I was very satisfied. I was a bit worried when someone mentioned the brisket was dry.. although I had a tiny part of one that was dry, the rest of it was juicy and tender. Yummm!!! The Prime Brisket and Pulled Pork were perfectly cooked and d went well with the Sweet Potato Fries. My coworker got the Snitch Burger and even though the bun was on the thick side, it was a tasty burger! Prices are reasonable and parking isn't an issue. This place has a very casual vibe with the bar seating on one side and the dining room on the other. Give it shot and hop on The Joy Bus at Bootleggers Modern American Smokehouse!

Well, this was not the review I was expecting to write. I was first introduced to Bootleggers when…read morethere was one on Shea. You can go there to see my review and how happy it made me. That location became something of a semi regular stop even after I moved to the other side of the valley. I use to introduce all my friends when they visited me to Bootleggers at that location. After it closed, my husband and I decided to do a small gathering (5 people) at the Scottsdale location expecting the same experience at 4pm. Oh god how wrong I was. TLDR: If you want to be full after you ate, cool, ice in your drink, ADA accessible and have clean bathrooms, this place is not recommended. Full Review: We walked into an empty restaurant and you could tell the AC was dying/dead. It wasn't as hot as normal and we figured a place has a problem every once in awhile and continued to stay. We should have left the moment we got there The 2 girls working appearently never understood the concept ice. The water had like 3 half melted cubes in it. Considering that even though it was 120, but 101 out, and we were seated inside, you'd think there could at least be that. Now this where you might say "wow, you sound picky and entitled. its just eater." I wish I had the forethought to take pictures. Because if you were there, you would get it. I had to ask for refills for the table because they never even tried and were barely around. Reminder the place was empty minus us at 4pm. The ladies restroom had a small layer of water and I had to move random furniture to help get my mother (who is a veteran in a wheelchair) into the bathroom. It smelled horrific and was just gross. Getting her in and out was like a puzzle. So if you are wheelchair bound looking for ADA friendly, skip this unless you have a friend willing to just move the stuff in your way because there is no way you can do it. Now the Food. You would think that at least the food would be fine. That was of course the main reason I brought people there. The Apple pie moonshine and Peach moonshine were fanatic. The food tasted delicious BUT...big BUT here all the portions are hyper reduced. Like I use to get 5 eggs on the deviled eggs, only 3. The sweet potato fries of heaven, was half of the portion. Same with every single appetizer. My pork belly tacos had 3 tacos but the plating wasn't just different, but the tacos were ridiculously small. The only item that had the same portions I was accustomed to was the BBQ platter. My husband quietly paid the bill (around 300) and we left to find a place with AC and apologized profusely to our family. They were hot, still hungry and my mother felt like a burden due to the staff. I don't know if that was just the naturla difference between the 2 locations or if it has new management but, Good bye Bootleggers. NEVER AGAIN. Which is really sad because this use to be one of my favorites.
