   The service was not good. The waitress kept forgetting my part of my order and abandoned us for a while.

   Had one of my worst experiences this evening and I’ve been many times. Horrible service and waited for the server repeatedly. Overcooked by burger and the meal started with the hostess forgetting to get a high chair for my son and also no plates, napkins or cutlery was given until asked 20 minutes later. I know this restaurant can do better. I will still give it an another chance, must have been an off night for them.

   I have visited many Fogo de Chão locations. This is the fifth time I have visited this location. The first, three times were good. The fourth time was not great; however, I thought it was just a bad day. I went today, and it was worse than the last time. Two of the steaks were chewy. I kept saying I wanted medium, but they kept serving me well-done. I told them, just not to be rude, —I will take this one, but please bring medium. The only good thing was the ribeye. I asked for two lamb chops, medium, but they brought them well-done, and the meat was chewy. Throughout the whole experience, they never gave me a single medium piece of meat. I felt like the meat was either old or recently defrosted. I didn’t understand why they just couldn’t bring me a medium piece of meat. I doubt I will come back, but if by chance I do, I hope you have improved the experience to better represent other Fogo de Chão locations.

   Fogle never seems to disappoint the absolute perfect place for any occasion the food decor, ambience and service are all outstanding. We had Queila this evening and she was so on point, we ordered off the happy hour menu which is amazing value and left completely satisfied. I’ve been attending regularly since discovering it and will continue to do so everything about the restaurant including location are 10/10!

   We’ve been here several times. The food has always been good and service acceptable. However, this last time, the service was terrible. We had to ask other servers to attend to us because our server forgot to come back. Unless they improve their service, I don’t think we’ll be back.

   As always this place is amazing! Great food ( and lots of it) Jose one of the "servers" always has a big smile in his face, helps the little ones get the food off the stick making them feel as if they did it themselves. My 5 year old grandson had a great time..Highly recommend it

   Kayla was our waitress and she was very attentive and helpful. Nelson, as one of the gauchos, as always, took the time to talk with people individually and was very nice to everyone. He asked if there was anything we wanted that we did not yet received and personally went to make sure it was taking care of. We have been going here since it opened and he is consistently smiling and making the place enjoyable. His service should be commended.

    Excellent variety of meats and a bountiful salad bar. Save room for the Key Lime pie
