when I saw this restaurant by accident I directly decided to go there the next day with my wife. Fogo de Chao I know from some business trips to Brazil where local colleagues went with me for Dinner - and it became one of my alltime favorites. Excellent meat, nice salad bar, concept, pao de queso and most food really... More

Everything was awsome. The staff, the food, the salad bar was outstanding. I am not a meat eater, but my husband wanted to try it for his birthday- we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We have recommended it to everyone who ask about a great place to eat. More

A Brazilian Steakhouse that has every kind of meat cut you could want. It is all you can eat, and the salad bar is awesome as well. It is expensive at $45.00 a person, but the lunch is $27 and has the same experience. More

I took my wife here for a romantic birthday dinner. Disaster. The problem to me is the entire concept. You are seated in a wide open restaurant next to people who look like Larry the cable guy and not shown any prices but told to go to the salad bar (where nothing is marked). The salad bar was decent, but... More

It is an experience for those who haven't been before. Come prepared to enjoy the salad bar (even you carnivores) and follow that up with a huge selection of the best grilled meats you will find anywhere. More

I prefer salads more then meat but both were fantastic in every way. The salad bar was huge and fresh with everything you could think of. You had unlimited choices of meat and and all was top quality and very tender. We finished the meal with the papaya cream for desert which was cool and refreshing way to end a... More

We had an amazing dinner here. It started with the salad bar, a lot of different and tasty items. On to the main course where they walk around with skewers of different grilled meats, chicken, lamb, pork, beef, etc. They carve off as much as you want and also provide you with any sides or condiments that you would like....

I stopped in on Saturday evening with my husband after picking our friend up at the airport. It was busy, but not too crowded at 7 pm. We hadn't been to a churrascaria before so it was a new experience for us. Our waiter explained how everything worked. He and the other servers were all very friendly and helpful. They... More
