   Meat was either rare or burnt/charred crispy- no mediums rare or medium at all. Had to ask three times to get our drinks. After asking the person who wasn’t assigned to our table, we finally got them. No one bothered to ask if we wanted refills for drinks or bread. Just a lackluster experience for a $200 meal.

   The only thing I would change, is that they bring back pork ribs. I didn't care for the pork belly, tasted bland. Both me and my partner thought that

   It was wonderful, the server was excellent, they checked on us all the time. Wish the may would've come more I had my green on for 5mins and no one came. I never far the chicken legs but I heard it was some and they would send them my easy but did not come. This was my first time here and my man and I was there for our first date and he highly recommended them to me. Didn't get me stuffing the food was excellent and the salad bar was superb. Just wish I had food coming my way when my green is on, since people told me, when it is on they will attack you with food. Thank you.

   Fogo de Chao is always a great experience when my wife and I dine there. We always get the VIP treatment from Shayla, one of the gauchos we’ve gotten to know from our visits there. 5 star restaurant!

   People with the meat seem to focus on large groups and people dressed in fancy clothes Waited for about 15/20 minutes just get some meat. At that point all our sides amd rice and beans were ice cold.

   I’ve been to Fogo several times but not recently in the last 7ish years. We made a point to go with our son, on my husband’s birthday, l as he’s a steak lover. The entire experience was lack luster and there are so many better restaurants nearby (like the butchers tale). The waitress wasn’t very attentive. The salad bar was ok but the fruit, like the papaya was not ripe and was dry. The stew had dry rice next to it and the meat in it wasn’t very good. We even had to ask her to send the guy with the bone in ribeye around to our table which took another 25 minutes. The pork was so dry, the sirloin was not good. The chicken thighs were good but it’s a chicken thigh, I won’t pay $300 for that. Overall, the experience for three people with two drinks, one dessert (the tres leches was actually superbly done) and tip was $315.00. I won’t ever go back again. It’s becoming what chain restaurants typically do and they’ve lost the magic experience they used to have.

   Horrible experience. Too many people packed in like cattle. Actually looked like an updated old country buffet. Noise level was horrible, wait for salad was down the hall. Never will come here ever. Food was subpar

   Rough experience. Had to wait over 45 minutes for our sides even after requesting them several times could not get drinks to save our lives. I understand that it was Valentine’s Day and busy but service was absolutely terrible.

    It was pretty crowded but I’ll give them some credit because it was Valentine’s Day when we went. Even though the restaurant was packed the service was still great and the food was top tier.
