    Won’t be returning. This was our second (and last), visit to Fogo de Chao after an experience so poor the first time that we were given a certificate for 2 free dinners that we used this time around. Fogo de Chao tries to position itself as a high end steakhouse yet employees kids with obviously no restaurant experience as servers. As other reviews have stated, the service here is awful with no improvement since they first opened. A meal here where you basically do everything yourself, except get drinks, shouldn’t take almost 3 hours. But when you have to leave your table to find your server, it will. The food itself is OK. Nothing terrible but nothing exceptional either. Except of course for the price. Probably the best offering is the salad bar which might be a good stand alone option if it wasn’t priced at $38 without an entree. I give this location a maximum of 2 years before it closes if it continues to do business this way..

    We were mostly ignored by the staff. Couldn’t get refills, meat service stopped by 5 times. Took forever to find someone to get our check. I was wholly disappointed. 😔😔

    They are incredibly kind, welcoming, and lovely people. The food is excellent, and they show great patience with the kids. The place is beautiful, and the service was attentive throughout our visit. I have absolutely no complaints — I’ll definitely be coming back!

    Incredibly overpriced. There is not an option under $40. The signature churrasco experience is over $70 and, while flavorful, most of the offerings are low cost cuts that a normal person could not come close to consuming $70 worth of. The salad bar is average. Other items taste mass-produced. Service is erratic, amateur and one constantly feels they are being upsold and marketed to. Overall just not worth it.

    I’ve probably eaten at every Fogo de Chao. The service at this one was terrible. They had ONE server. He was also clearing tables. We had 4:00 reservations. I assume they kept bringing out the left overs from lunch. The meat was dry and overcooked.

    Paid $72 for the rodizio. Waited a long time between meats. Never got the pork xhop, chicken in parm, cheese with honey, sausage, chicken thigh. Told the waiter we were never offered these items. Definately didn't get what I paid for. You have to fill up on the cold salad bar to leave full. Chicken salad not worth $72 per person. Never going back. A more than $400 check and left hungry.

    The food was great as usual but the waiters aren’t very attentive to tables. I viewed a few tables frustrated with having to flag ppl down to ask for specific things.

    It was ok. Was expecting more as I've been to the NYC one several times. Hot buffet was small, as the cold one. Meat was supposed to be coming instead of wait for it and request. If they improve the frequency of the meat, I would give another star.
