Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse

First, I want to be clear, this is not a complaint about the food. The food itself was good, as expected. However, the service was far below what I’ve experienced during prior visits to Fogo. Even though our table cards were turned to green, and there were multiple meat servers circulating the dining room, we did not receive timely service and this was before the dinner rush. One guest at our table was seated in a corner and was barely offered any meat at all because the gauchos simply didn’t stop by. For a birthday dinner totaling around $700, this was incredibly disappointing. When we ordered drinks, they were not brought out promptly. We had to ask a second and third time before receiving them. We also requested queso fresco and waited approximately 20 minutes for it to arrive. That said, I do want to recognize Silvia, a busser who was absolutely amazing. She noticed we needed assistance with plates and drinks and stepped in immediately without us even having to ask. She was attentive, kind, and truly saved the experience from being worse. Leslie, one of the floor managers, also made an effort to assist us and even offered a discount, which we appreciated (though it wasn’t necessary). Her acknowledgment of the situation meant a lot. Unfortunately, when we attempted to get the attention of Humberto, the main manager, as he walked through the dining area multiple times, we were ignored. That added to the frustration, especially once the restaurant became fully busy and we were left relying mainly on Silvia and Leslie for support. I strongly believe that when service is great, the food tastes even better. But when service falls short, it makes it very difficult to justify paying this amount for a special occasion, especially a birthday dinner. Very disappointed, and I truly hope this location improves because past experiences have set a much higher standard.

We've been here before and it was good but some of the meats were dry and not seasoned. This time everything was PREFECT! Fresh meats, very well seasoned and fresh sides and bread kept coming along with the meats. Our Server Jason was the best, very attentive and had a Great attitude. Highly recommend!

We recently went to Fogo de Chão and decided to try the Market Table (salad bar) for about $20. Honestly, it was more than enough food and such a good value. The selection was fresh and delicious — everything from mixed salads to cold pastas, cheeses, and even a charcuterie-style spread with meats and cheeses. I especially enjoyed the lentil soup, which was comforting and flavorful. On top of the Market Table, they also brought out fried bananas, plantains, and mashed potatoes to our table, which was a nice surprise and made the meal feel complete. At one point, the waitress asked if we wanted a shrimp cocktail, which we didn’t realize was extra at first — glad we asked before agreeing. Just a heads up for anyone dining there, some items are additional. We went because we heard about their lunch special ($47 for the full churrasco experience with all the different Brazilian meats), but we were just looking for something lighter and different that day. The $20 Market Table ended up being perfect for us. Great food, generous portions, and definitely worth it if you’re not in the mood for the full experience but still want to enjoy the quality that Fogo de Chão is known for.
