I have dined at Fogo since I moved to Houston back in 2003 - the Westheimer location. Unfortunately the quality and service of Fogo has diminished drastically. Upon seeing this location in Baybrook, wanted to give it a try. The meats were hit or miss - with the top sirloin being extremely dry. The people offering the meats would often just ‘slap’ a piece of meat on your plate, much like serving a pet. Others made snarky remarks like, “please grab it from here, I don’t want to damage my knife…” You felt rushed, the meat selection offered was not as diverse as what is available on the menu. With the new generation of servers, it appears the customers are a burden to them, no passion for service exists, and they are only there for a paycheck. Disheartened that a restaurant with well known name in Brazilian cuisine does not hold the same standards. It’s not worth the price with the lackluster service and low quality of meats. There is always opportunities for improvement, and hope that management and its staff take into consideration constructive criticism to improve customer service.

The service was slow. Not nearly as attentive as the Westheimer location. The meat was either overdone or underdone. We didn’t seem to get our preferred doneness. They were slow to replace/refill the sides.

Due to kitchen issues we had to have Christmas dinner out. We were so happy to visit here as the food and service couldn’t have been better. It was noisy but on Christmas Day there wasn’t an empty seat so the noise level was to be expected.

Great place to take my sons and husband for Christmas dinner. I appreciate not having to cook on Christmas. Everything - food and service was great - we did have a bit of a wait for drinks but they were absolutely packed. We will be back.

Service was aweful. Most meats were overcooked. They actually brought out a pork chop that was literally charcoal.

Disappointed in the service. Although we were asked what other meat did we want, our requests weren't answered. Where was the prime rib? Also chairs were dirty and napkins stained.

The most amazing staff. They were extremely busy due to several Holiday parties, but the staff was incredibly friendly and did everything possible to make everyone happy. Will definitely recommend!

Our dining experience here was fantastic. Great bar service, and great attention from all the Gauchos. All of the meats we tried were well-seasoned and cooked just right. We especially loved the ribeye, fajita flank steak, and the lamb chops. It's always a pleasure to see Alexis and Avery; two of the hardest-working individuals at this restaurant. Demetrius also checked up on us periodically, to ensure our dining experience was going well. It's always a pleasure to dine here, and we will be back again soon.

Staff were great. Angela was top Notch but the food has worsened since last time we were there and the servers rush the service by giving you thick and massive slices which are sometimes un edible. The best one was the flank steak… the rest pretty mediocre, over cooked, poorly cut and rushed. Love this place but customer experience is taking a hit by the above…. Sorry but 3 out of 5 (being generous)
