I've eaten at Fogo de Chão quite a few times over the years, and what stands out most is the…read moreconsistency. Restaurants can have off nights. Service can slip. Food quality can vary. Somehow, every time I've come here, the experience has been excellent. I honestly cannot remember a single bad meal. This isn't a place I visit every week or even every month. It's more of a special occasion destination every few months. Part of the reason is that every visit turns into an event. We always go for the full experience, and by the time we leave, we're completely stuffed, happy, and already talking about when we'll come back. The quality of the food is outstanding. Everything arrives hot, flavorful, and expertly prepared. Whether it's one of the signature cuts of beef, lamb, chicken, pork, or something from the Market Table, I've yet to find an item that disappointed me. Usually, by the end of the meal, I've lost track of how many different things I've tried because I'm too busy enjoying all of it. One thing that always makes me laugh is the famous red and green card system. In theory, you flip the card to green when you want more food and red when you need a break. In reality, after a few visits, the staff seems to remember what you like. I've had servers and gauchos walk by with cuts they know I enjoy and offer them before I even have a chance to flip the card. That's not a complaint. It's actually one of the reasons the experience feels so personal. The service deserves just as much praise as the food. From the moment you walk through the door, you're welcomed warmly. Throughout the meal, someone is always checking to make sure you're enjoying yourself, asking if you need anything, and making sure the experience lives up to expectations. It never feels forced or scripted. The staff genuinely seems to care that you're having a great time. We usually arrive around 5:00 or 5:30, before the dinner rush really gets going. That timing has always worked well for us and allows for a relaxed, enjoyable meal without feeling crowded or rushed. Fogo de Chão isn't inexpensive, but that's because you're getting an experience, not just a meal. Between the quality of the food, the attention from the staff, and the overall atmosphere, I've always felt like I got my money's worth. At this point, if someone asks me where to go in Providence for a memorable dinner, Fogo de Chão is always near the top of my list. Fantastic food, exceptional service, and a level of consistency that is surprisingly rare these days. Five stars without hesitation.

Let's just say the reviews given did not do justice, food was very very good…read more Parking was a nightmare on Fed Hill but it's a Saturday evening so it's understandable Walking in we was seated immediately for a party of 2 It's beautiful inside, music was great ( not to loud) My husband and I both ordered Mofongos. 1 was a churrasco mofongo in a red sauce and the other was a grilled chicken mofongo with a white sauce. These things were HUGE definitely feeds 2 people. I honestly preferred the white sauce but the mofongo was sooooo tasty. What I loved is that it was made in its original form with chicharon. The steak was cooked exactly how it was requested Medium well, and the grilled chicken was very juicy. To top the night I had a frothy expresso, I wish it was a bit darker but that's just preference The ONLY reason I didn't give this place a full 5 star was due to the a pipe condensation occurring right above our seat. Even after mentioning it to the server, they seemed to be aware of it and yet sit people near risking that water dripping into peoples food. I constantly had to wipe my arm off and had my plate towards the edge of the table to avoid the drips. But even with all of that I would still go again and ask for a middle table because this food is very good. Highly recommend this place

We went in for late night snacks and hookah and wanted to sit outside, but they wouldn't allow it…read morebecause it rained earlier (it was not actively raining), so we had to sit inside which was fine except for a couple large groups with children who were out past bedtime and were crying and generally cranky. That was part of what we wanted to avoid by sitting outside... Our server was Disleivy and she was hands down the worst part of the experience. We couldn't understand her and she couldn't understand us. She disappeared for long stretches and I had to keep getting up to go to the bartender to ask for her to send our server back. The empanadas were fine, nothing to write home about. I asked for a glass of water and was handed a small bottle that was $5 on the tab. I saw other tables with glasses of water so I'm not sure why I had to get a $5 bottle; maybe the server didn't understand what I wanted when I asked for a glass of water, it's possible she thought I wanted a glass bottle of water. The hookah was charged separately and was $45 with the tip already added and then the guy who brought it over told me not to miss the screen where I could leave an additional tip. We ordered guava and got strawberry. We could never find the guy again to tell him we didn't get the flavor we ordered and our server was MIA for so long that we just smoked a little and then left the majority. Cool vibes outside, but the whole experience was a miss and I wouldn't recommend this place, nor will I be likely to return.

And the other food court options were extremely busy. I'm glad I did. I ordered their Option 3, which was Picanha Steak plus rice and beans. The picture might not give it justice but there was a hefty amount of meat. It was a little salty but also savory that it melted in your mouth. I got a heaping pile of white rice with pinto beans. Both were very tasty and complimented the meat with every bite I took. There were other rice and bean options, but I'm not the biggest fan of black beans. For a regional mall chain, it definitely was good. Plus, I had to have a can of Guaraná to wash it all down! All together with tax it came to roughly $21 but it was worth it. I'll definitely try other option they have next time I'm in the area or at another location.

They also had cute palm trees lit up and really fun disco lightbulbs with Jamaican music playing. Service was very friendly and kind. My only minor complaint is that there was a finished plate of food in the dining/ seating area that had not been cleared when we went over to find a table. Otherwise, a nice experience and we look forward to returning.
