Lots of questionable practices going on here... They ask "do you want water?" Then they proceed to provide bottle after bottle of $9 bottles of water... Check your wine order closely... they brought & poured a more expensive bottle than what we ordered... They will offer up the salad bar, bread, 4 types of chicken, fried cheese and sausage before the decent cuts of meat are even offered... The cuts of beef are salted. Not slightly, but heavily. Most cuts are really tough & chewy... Even the cooked cheese is heavily salted. Overall, not the best steaks or value for your dining budget.

They ask if you want still or sparkling water but do not tell you that you have to pay for it. I just wanted regular water.

This was a wonderful visit, and our service by Camila and the crew was great! Eunice helped make my son's double digit Birthday "celebration" even better by giving him the perfect dessert(s). The only critique for this visit was that the music was really loud today and I felt like I could hardly hear my family while speaking during brunch.
Fogo de Chao - San JoseResponded on 19 May 2025
Thank you for sharing your wonderful feedback about your recent visit. We're thrilled to hear that Camila and Eunice made the celebration special. We do understand your point about the music volume and appreciate your input. We hope to welcome you and your family back soon for another memorable experience!

I have gone to another Brazilian steak house, but I stopped going there because there was always some drama. And the service was mostly bad. I am happy to say that I have found a new Brazilian steak house in Fogo de Chao and I will only be going here in the future. First, everyone here is so incredibly nice and hospitable. Mizael was one of the most incredible servers I have had in a while. It is so hard to balance being on hand for requests, without being overbearing. The men who came around with the meat to our tables were all amazing too- even the gentleman who came over to "table tap" had the friendliest air about himself. I really commend the way this managed. When I wanted to hurry and pay the bill so our server could receive her tip before she left, I was informed that there was a tip pool. This makes so much sense as you don't have to look for the one "good" server, and it explains why everyone was so invested in making our visit really special. if you are looking for a great meal for any reason at all, this is a definite must-try!

Thank you, Hanna, for sharing your delightful experience with us! We're thrilled to know that you've found a new home in our restaurant and appreciated the attentive service from Mizael and our entire team. We’d love to have you back! As a frequent guest, you might be interested in exploring Fogo Rewards to enjoy exclusive benefits. Looking forward to welcoming you again soon!

Unfortunately, the restaurant we enjoyed for years has slipped terribly. The meats are not prepared properly and service is like flagging down a taxi in NYC.
