Food is great but this is not the place for someone with a small appetite…read more I found the salad bar amazing! I probably could have eaten just from the salad bar and be satisfied. They don't just have salads at the salad bar. All the sides such as rice, potatoes, fish, soup, with all the fixings are there. People come around to the tables with the meat on large skewers and cut at your table. Beef, pork, chicken, and lamb. It can be pretty overwhelming if you are not a big meat eater. There was a good selection of desserts. Most of us shared. I had the crème brûlée and shared it with the husband. After 3 spoonfuls, I was done, but it was so good. The wait staff and the folks serving the meats were very nice and friendly. The atmosphere was kind of noisy, but it was really crowded. Of course, it was Mother's Day. So even with a reservation we still had to wait. There were 14 of us. Of course we had to wait to get enough tables together for us to be seated. My only complaint was the waiting area. I get it. It's Mothers Day. People were waiting outside on the sidewalk because there wasn't enough room in the waiting area. They should invest in those beepers for when our table is ready. Otherwise, it was a nice experience.

The problem was there there were some meats that were extremely dry. For the price that they charge, this is unacceptable. Going forward I will stick to places like Fogo de Chão or Novilhos for a great Rodizio experience. Also I was disappointed that the drinks were served with a ton of ice. I won't be returning

Highly recommend this spot over the "other" Brazilian-style restaurants. The location, atmosphere, and overall vibe were impeccable, and the service was top-notch from start to finish. Huge shout out to Gio for providing such a great experience. He constantly checked back with us to make sure we had everything we needed. What really stood out was how attentive and interactive all the servers were. They kept the meats coming nonstop and made the entire dining experience enjoyable. The sides were also perfectly portioned and complemented everything well. Highly recommend this location if you're looking for an amazing dining experience. Ask for Gio!

Very unfortunate experience. Our waiter had no interest in being our waiter. When we arrived, I saw…read morea big piece of meat on the floor right next to my chair, so I asked the waiter "can you please ask someone to pick that up?" He just looked at me like I was nuts to ask him that. A few minutes later, we put in an order for drinks. I got sangria, my husband asked for a specific Merlot. I got my drink but we continued to wait for the Merlot. Like 10 minutes later, waiter says "we're out of that merlot do you want something else?" Husband says "sure, there was another Chilean merlot on the menu can I have that?" (Back to the meat on the floor, waiter never handled it. My husband ended up getting a paper napkin, picking it up and walking somewhere to throw it out.) So the waiter shows back up with a sample of a wine and says to my husband, "would you like this?" He walks away... about 10 minutes later he comes back and he says "so did you like that?" My husband says "no actually I did not can I please see a menu?" the waiter walked away and never brings back a menu... he actually never came back again until I asked for the check. When we were finally done with dinner, I really was very disappointed with this waiter who did a terrible job and I didn't want to leave him a good tip, but then I realized that we had several servers because this is a Brazilian steakhouse where they bring the meats to your table and sliced them at your table so we had several different people who were deserving of a tip. I figured tips were split among all of the workers and so I didn't want to impact everyone else's tip. When we got the bill, tip was included and I said "well, this makes complete sense. He has zero incentive to do a good job."

I had a terrible experience at another location 3 years ago where our waitress disappeared, so it…read morewas frustrating to have something similar happen again here. We originally planned to order the Indulgent menu for three to get the lobster tail. Our waiter suggested doing two churrasco dinners plus the seafood tower instead, saying we'd get more seafood for about the same price. I mentioned we also wanted the free dessert that comes with the Indulgent menu, and he reassured us, "I got you on desserts." We appreciated the deal. However, about 20 minutes later, he completely disappeared, likely having clocked out. When we were ready for dessert, we had to flag down another staff member, who said she didn't know who our waiter was or where he went. She initially told us she could only offer one free dessert, which wasn't what we had been promised. Eventually, a manager stepped in and honored it, which we appreciated. Still, it was concerning that no one seemed to know who our server was. If shifts are ending, there should be a proper handoff instead of just leaving tables unattended. Service felt rushed as shifts were ending. When we asked for more cheese, one staff member seemed reluctant, then later dropped off a full plate of something else when I only wanted one piece. She clocked out and left at the same time as us. The ambiance was nice, but I was surprised my clothes smelled afterward. This didn't happen at a way smaller location I've visited. Food was mostly good, with a few misses. No one brought us filet mignon until I specifically requested it near the end. The biggest disappointment was the "seafood tower," which turned out to be more of a basic seafood plate. For $112 (before tax), it was very underwhelming, bland, overcooked, and chewy, with no sauces to complement it. We came for the steaks but ended up spending a good 20-30 minutes on seafood that was completely tasteless. I'd never get seafood here again. This could have been a 5-star experience if not for the service issues and the disappointing seafood.

My husband and I had a 7pm reservation on a Friday night but showed up 30 min early after seeing a…read moremovie and they were thankfully able to seat us earlier. I've been to other Brazilian steakhouses but this was my first time at Fogo de Chao. We both went with the full Churrasco for the experience. Similar to other reviewers I felt like the meats came around in waves, making for awkward periods of waiting for more food. The ribeye was pretty good but some of the other cuts of meat seemed a bit dry/tough. Whenever they were walking around with more meat it seemed quite chaotic in the restaurant. We were seated in the back by what I assumed was an event space and that area was especially a bit tight and chaotic with employees coming in and out of there. One thing I did really love was the fresh pineapple! The guy carrying that one kept running out so fast. It was delicious and paired very nicely with the steak. It's a great location too, so much to do nearby. They also validate parking which is a plus. Overall, I would say the Churrasco experience is not worth the price. For 2 people we paid close to $200 when it was all said and done. For that price I would rather go somewhere with a more romantic and peaceful ambiance.

Luckily we got there around 5 and were able to get 4 bar seats. Our server Colin was awesome!

We ordered the oysters, chefs burger (OMG), empanadas (delicious) and the star of the show was the prawn and turf (that sauce and sourdough combo was amazing) Literally counting the days till I'm back, golfing at chambers bay and stopping by asado on the way back.

We got the Lomo ($68) and the Parilla Mixta ($50) with the mashed potatoes and the polenta. The last time we came here, they brought out a delicious complimentary bread but it seems like they don't do that anymore. My boyfriend liked his lomo (filet mignon) and it had a nice sear and the chimichurri and demi glace was delicious. My parilla mixta was yummy but the skirt steak was on the blander side and the sausage was nothing special but I really like the shrimp and the polenta was delicious. Overall everything was fresh and the food came out quick and our waitress was really nice. The restaurant wasn't too crowded when we were there but it looked like it was filling up and it is a cute spot for a date night or dinner with friends! It's definitely on the pricier side but we would come back to try their pastas or other dishes!

We made a 2:00 PM reservation, which the restaurant allows even though lunch service ends at 2:30 PM. While we were informed service stops at 2:30, it felt like our presence was an inconvenience from the moment we arrived. The hostess who seated us seemed visibly annoyed that we were there, which immediately set an uncomfortable tone. Unfortunately, the food did not make up for it. The meat was only semi-warm, the bread tasted stale, and unlike our previous visits, no one offered additional bread or polenta refills like they normally do. We've had good meals here in the past, but this was honestly the worst experience we've ever had at this restaurant. Allowing reservations so close to closing time shouldn't result in rushed service, inattentive hospitality, or subpar food quality. Very disappointing.

It is like a food court where you grab a plate and serve yourself and then pay by the amount of food you grab. The pricing is very confusing. They have two prices, one for meats and the buffet station and one for just the buffet station. The buffet station was very limited and look very sad. The meats were okay but overall overdone and chewy. They didn't have any traditional sauces you would usually find at a Brazilian restaurant; they only had some salad dressing bottles. There is virtually no service. They don't really speak English. They don't have a menu and everything is self serve. It is pretty cheap if you just go for meats and don't get a drink.
