Stuffed myself with all kinds of well-prepared, grilled meats. Got a meat hangover. Still, would go back. The service was attentive and courteous, making my over-indulgent visit way too pleasant. More

I knew this was the place to go for my birthday. Red meat is an occasional splurge for me, so when I indulge, I want it to be wonderful. Everything about this place fits the bill. The service model, in which every server in the restaurant is equally attentive to your needs, works so well that I'm surprised more places... More

Excellent restaurant in Austin. I went here in the last week of April 2012. Its a Brazilian style restaurant, its very nice and the service is excellent. There's at least 7 types of different meats. Its a must go, I will definetely go again. After eating a lot, because you can basically receive all the meat you want, we decided... More

Great salad bar, great food, excellent service. An unique dining experience. Meat is served off skewers as wait staff rotates with different cuts. Awesome dessert choices. Dined as part of a group; therefore, can't comment on individual dining experience. More

I have been to Fogo de Chao to celebrate my wife`s birthday and even though I announced that whenever I arrived they didn`t pay attention at all. As Brazilian, being in a Brazilian restaurant abroad would be a good experience but this was not the case. The food was not good and the service was precarious meaning that we have... More

one of the best dining experiences i've ever had. The food, service, price are all impeccable. If you're a vegetarian don't be put off by the focus on meat (although i'm sure you will be tempted to switch eatings habits by the end of the meal!), as there is a great salad bar. More

If you love steak then you'll love this place. The entire sitting was about 2 hours. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. You start off with a salad bar with unique salad items and when you're ready for the meat just turn your card from red to green and the chefs begin coming around with different cuts of beef... More
