IF the price seems high when first looking at menu, that thought quickly disappears when the food starts to come. I tend to skip the salad bar which is also amazing just so I can eat that much more of the amazing meats. Despite the continued presence of people walking around ready to deliver freshly cooked and wonder steak, chicken, pork, etc... options, the noise level remains relatively low which allows for easy dinner talk. It also happens to be an amazing value for families as kids under 6 eat free and children 7-12 are half off. My children have grown to half off age and have loved coming since they were younger and love to compete to see who eats more!

We love going to Fogo de Chão. The service is usually 10/10 as well as the food. However last night the service was off. Took forever for them To bring the churrasco to the table, we eventually had to ask . ( yes we did have the the paper flipped to green). Then they took forever with my husbands Diet Coke but we got our cocktails fairly quickly. At then end it was like they were circling our table to leave but we weren’t ready to go. They gave us the wrong check. Just an off night for the service team. Food was wonderful

We were there to celebrate my mom‘s 69th birthday. Sometimes this is difficult when you have a large party. We had a party of 8 people, but Mya was on top of everything. For some of us, it was their first time and she explained everything so well. There were times where we wanted to try specific meats and she would have them sent to our table. She was attentive on refilling our drinks and made sure that everyone was well taken care of the entire time. Thank you, Mya for a great service. We will definitely be back.

Went to Fogo de Chao with my wife to celebrate my birthday and it was an amazing experience. Maraya was our server and she was amazing. She made us feel so comfortable for our first time and gave great recommendations. She was absolutely the best. We will definitely be back.

I recently visited this restaurant and was highly disappointed. They had only opened a small section of the dining area, which meant all the tables were crammed together, leaving barely any room to walk. It felt uncomfortable and lacked any sense of privacy. As for the food, it was equally underwhelming. The steak was tough and overcooked—like trying to chew leather—and the flavors were bland at best. Overall, a poor experience. I won’t be returning anytime soon.

Brought my mother for a nice dinner. So not worth the price for what we got on the options or meats not a lot on the bar for sides. Espetus is the place to go for Brazilian steak house!!
