Amazing food. The beans were great. They are really good. Great service and they gave us a free desert for our friends birthday.

I love Brazilian BBQ and I must say that for me Fogo de Chao is the best :) We have been here 3 times since December and each visit has been an equally outstanding experience. From the friendly service & classically decorated dining room to the delicious food. Everything is 5-Stars!! On the most recent visit we were celebrating my Sons Birthday. We both had the Churrasco Experience which includes all you can eat from the Market Bar and a continuous selection of over 12 fire roasted meats brought to your table. As tempting as it is don't fill up on the Market Bar because one easily could and be happy. TIP: Join the rewards program for great discounts. This time we had half-off one meal & a free desert! The also have a great cocktail bar with a large selection of Brazilian cocktails. I had a Strawberry Hibiscus Caipirinha and my Son ordered a glass of very good Chardonnay from the solid wine list. Mine was so good I had to have a couple LOL After eating soooo much food, special shout out to the pork belly w/ honey drizzle & the lamb chops, We were confronted with the choice of any desert from the menu. I strongly recommend the Cheesecake Brulee which one of the best cheesecakes I've ever had! There is valet parking at the door and free validated parking in the structure next door. No street parking is available. read more

Absolutely horrible experience. Don't bother making a reservation--they don't seem to honor them. For example if your reservation was for 6:00 PM, and you arrived at 5:55 PM. A party walked in around 5:50 PM without a reservation and they will be seated before you. Instead of holding tables for guests with reservations, they appeared to seat whoever they could first. Despite having a reservation, we waited an entire hour to be seated. Meanwhile, some tables were occupied for nearly three hours while more than 50 people waited, many of whom also had reservations. The service overall was very disappointing. The restroom was out of paper towels, and the salad bar had no plates available. My husband's food came out extremely late, everyone had eaten already so we sent it back. I shared my sea bass with him, it was the only thing that we order that actually had flavor. I think they forgot to season the meats and Lobster Mac, we ordered a total of 4 Lobster Mac's & we added salt and pepper to all of them. The only bright spot was the bar staff. Even though they were extremely busy, they remained friendly, attentive, and accommodating. We ended up ordering drinks and appetizers at the bar while waiting, and they provided the best service of the night. Unfortunately, this was my first visit, and it will definitely be my last. read more

Came with my GF to celebrate our Anniversary, so we made RSVP to visit during their Lunch Time. We were seated very promptly upon arrival and ordered the Full Churrasco Menu. Aside from our Drinks getting to us fairly quickly, it took quite sometime for the Meats to be brought to us. Minor mishap I guess, cause after 10 minutes of waiting for them to come around to our Table. They started coming by every couple mins. The Picanha was amazing, but the Pork Belly and Fried Cheese were our favorite dishes. We requested more of that to be brought out.. but those requests were ignored. Even asked for a refill of Cheese Bread and that never showed up. Ordered their Lobster Tail, which was well made and a refreshing change of taste compared to having consistently being brought Beef. They never came around with the Roasted Chicken either, so that was a bit disappointing. Aside from that, what I was hoping to be a bit wonderful Anniversary Lunch sorta turned into something fairly mid. Maybe it was cause it was Lunchtime or cause there was a Big Family Party being attended to. But today might've been a 1 off visit for us. Food Great, Service very Mid, Ambiance was similar to a Cheesecake Factory. read more

Went to Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse this past Saturday with my brother and his girlfriend (my lil sis ) before heading to the movies, and overall we had such a great experience! They both absolutely LOVED it, and I was so happy we chose this spot for dinner. The food was amazing -- hot, fresh, flavorful, and constantly coming around. We did the $78 all-you-can-eat meat experience, and the servers wasted NO time bringing different selections to our table. There were always staff members nearby checking in on us and making sure we were taken care of, which made the experience feel very attentive and welcoming. Customer service overall was exceptional. We also had reservations and thankfully didn't have to wait long at all to get seated. We were sat outside with the heat lamps, and honestly they felt AMAZING. We barely even noticed the cold breeze because the outdoor seating setup was so comfortable. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because there were a couple inconsistencies with the drinks from the bar. My brother accidentally received the wrong cocktail at first (he ordered the Caramelized drink but was given a Sunrise instead), and the strawberry hibiscus alcoholic drinks that me and my lil sis ordered tasted noticeably different from each other during our second round. Hers tasted really good while mine tasted a little... perfumery? lol Of course different bartenders make drinks differently, but I just wish there was a bit more consistency there. Other than that, the overall dining experience was wonderful and definitely worth it for a fun night out! read more

I have not been in this location in awhile. 2026 review. Went here for a work function. We all opted in to get the all you can eat meat and salad bar, $78 per person. No complaints on the food. The meats served were absolutely delicious! The meats were all so very good. Chicken, lamb, cow, and pig did not dissapoint! It all really comes down how much a person can really eat. The salad bar was absolutely fulfilling. After I got tired of the meats I went to the salad bar. Salad bar was great. Great salad servings with fish, salmon, figs, eggplants etc. You cant go wrong either way. Only one complaint. Bathrooms were dirty. They can use some help on that department. It did not feel clean. Overall, this place is outstanding! read more

I have been at Fogo in several locations in La, Southern California and even in Miami... but never been a a special gathering as this, we were six in a table and included a fix menu of three courses. It was hosted by Woodford Reserve that offered several shoots and one cocktail from the brand. There was music since we arrived to the saloon where the event was hosted inside the Restaurant. Marco and Griselda the Fogo's hosts where awesome and we genuinely enjoy the whole event... the menu was part of the extensive offer from Fogo, excellent meat in a lovely ambiance. Surely I'll be back for another of these innovative events... look for them. read more

We went to try their all day Happy hour again and found a spot at the bar about 5:30 on a Friday. We felt lucky as it got very busy after that. Their $10 burger is a great bargain- thick, juicy and comes with their tasty yucca fries. Our bartender also poured me a mean martini. They have a good food list of quality happy hour dishes and decent drinks. read more

Came here for lunch to celebrate Dad's birthday. Only Dad added a meat option and had Picanha. The 3 of us got the all you can eat Market Table. Parking is a little walk to the front of the restaurant, we should have dropped Dad off at the front but he insisted on walking. I walked ahead to put our name in for a table, they said we had to wait until the whole party was there. We were greeted by a friendly host and I informed her we were celebrating a birthday. We were seated fairly quickly and our server came by to pour water. There was an insect floating in my water, so she removed all the glasses and brought us new ones. The Market Table had plenty of choices of salads, fruits, cheeses, charcuterie, veggies, soup and feijoada. Everything was delicious! The gauchos came around a couple of times for Dad's Picanha, which he enjoyed. Our server could have been a little more attentive. She came to fill our water once and failed to fill mine. I had to track someone else down. Dad was offered dessert for his birthday, which we asked to take home. Food was good, ambiance was good, friendly employees. read more

What happened to my third favorite restaurant on earth? Look at all my reviews. I'm the furthest thing from bougie, needy, or demanding. Two stars because the happy hour menu "looked" pretty good, only got to try one thing. -3 stars because there is no reason why, on a Wednesday, when we're the only 2 people at the bar and there are 2 bartenders and what looked like a manager walking by us, staring at us for 30 minutes while our glasses have been empty and waiting to order food. One of the bartenders finally came by and noticed saying, "I'll be right back to take your order." God knows what was important in the empty restaurant, only to return and stare at us for another 10 minutes? Everyone looked miserable. It's not my job to flag you down every time I need something. My cousin gave zero tip for the first time in his life. C'mon guys. read more

I always try to support local restaurants, but this experience was not acceptable. We came with 4 people and ordered the full churrasco, but after more than an hour, we only received 3 different meats. I honestly started wondering if I even ate any meat at all. We asked four times because no meat was being served to our table, and each time we were told, "We'll send the gaucho," but nothing changed. If you're looking for a nice lunch or dinner experience, I would recommend going somewhere else that truly cares about their customers. read more

Came here on a Friday night around 8:00 and got sat within 15 minutes! It was packed so it was nice to not wait too long. The server was great, super friendly and constantly checking in on us. The food from the buffet was very tasty. All super fresh and tons of options! Especially loved the roasted garlic! The meat was all so tasty! There were so many options and we didn't have to wait long for another meat to be offered. The melted cheese and honey was crazy good and unexpected! The chicken breast was so delicious and the beef rib was crazy tender! Definitely recommend read more

Fogo de Chão - Buffet food - Steakhouses Near Me - El Segundo, California

Came to celebrate our anniversary, Upon arrival, we were seated by the door to the patio. I didn't mind it too much, but throughout the meal I kept getting hit with the smell of a wet cloth as servers were constantly going to the stand near us. It definitely took a while to receive any meat--it seemed like they wanted us to fill up on the sides first. I would say it took at least 15 minutes. After the sides came out, we asked for meat since they kept skipping. At one point I was served something I learned that day was called "blue," meaning it wasn't fully cooked. The outside is quickly seared for just a few seconds per side. It was definitely an experience. The server was very persistent about encouraging me to try it, insisting I would like it, but after the first bite I immediately knew it wasn't my cup of tea. He seemed a little disappointed, but to each their own. Suggestions are always appreciated--just maybe without looking so heartbroken! With all that blood, I swear I could see the heartbeat. read more

Gone up in price and down in quality. $78 for dinner all you can eat. they said they ran out of the more premium meats (beef ribs) at the price range. I had to ask 4x if the rib eye was going to come around. And when it did, whatever that meat was was not ribeye. It's a Friday night, how do you not have the meats you advertise you have. Not very consistent seasoning either. Either too salty or none at all. I don't know, I like coming to Fogo but they have to stop being so cheap. read more

Baseline: For a sit down semi-casual restaurant is the quality of the food, existence of any unique offerings, quality of the service, and value of the overall dining experience. Food: Brazilian churrasco was great today! We stuck with Single Churrasco Cuts this visit which will fill you up. Piranha and Fraldinha for beef and I would say the Fraldinha meats made it around more frequently. We also had a dry-aged Tomahawk Ribeye for the table which had a great fat content and delicious seasoned crust to the steak. The Full Churrasco is the way to go if you are hungry so you can get the parade of different meats. The Market Bar and Feijoada bar was full of different food items and was super satisfying. Service: Great service from all the staff for our dining experience. Ambiance: Fogo de Chao was clean and the table/seating was well organized. read more

Thank you Fogo for reaching out to me and giving my experience a second chance. Service was on point, drinks were amazing and dessert just wow! The buffet was full! Bathroom clean. I understand things get busy and Fogo proved themselves. I can't wait to return again. I loved dressing up and bringing my mom and the ladies out. They all loved it! read more

4.5 stars (rounding up on a good day) This Fogo de Chão location is playing a slightly higher league than the rest of the chain--and you can taste it. The filet mignon was absurdly tender, the kind that barely requires a knife and still delivers real flavor (not always a given with filet). But the real standout? The beef ribs--rich, deeply seasoned, and unapologetically indulgent in the best way. Each pass from the gauchos felt like a highlight reel instead of filler. Even the "supporting cast" overdelivered. The pão de queijo came out warm and airy with that addictive chew, the fried bananas had a perfect caramelized edge without tipping into dessert territory, and the polenta was actually craveable--crispy outside, creamy center, not an afterthought. Brazilian lemonade was too foamy for my taste. Service was warm but a touch out of sync. We had to flag down our favorite cuts more than once, which slightly interrupts the whole effortless churrasco flow. Not a dealbreaker, but noticeable when everything else is dialed in. All in, this is one of those rare chain experiences that feels... upgraded. When they're on, they're really on--and this location clearly knows it. read more

This place was amazing, from the time we arrived to the very end. All nine of us arrived and were seated within minutes. We said we would have all-you-can-eat. And boy was it all you can eat. We had every meat they offered and loved every piece of meat we could get our hands on.LOL.... The bar salad had many choices to pick from. The all-you-can-eat doesn't include Drinks, Dessert, and other specialty items on the menu. The atmosphere was busy, noise level was surprisingly low for a restaurant full of hungry humans. Beautifully decorated.Highly recommend this restaurant. They have Valet parking, Skip it. You'll wait 10-15 minutes standing around waiting for your car. Don't be lazy and walk to your car, it's faster than Valet, and you'll save some ridiculous Fee. read more

We have come to this Fogo de Chão a few times! Always a different experience, but we leave full and satisfied! This Fogo de Chão location is visible from Rosecrans Ave. There is valet parking with varying prices in front or a self-parking garage with 90 minutes free. The best bang for your buck is the Churrasco Experience! It's all you can eat (AYCE)! Included in the price are the meats, Market Table, & sides. Items that are included that you can request are the cheese with honey and grilled pineapple with brown sugar. Both are so good! When we come on Sundays for the Brunch, there's also an Omelet Station. TIP: If you have a Sam's Club or Costco Membership, you can buy a $100 eGift Card for $79.98 (Sam's Club) or $79.99 (Costco). Must buy online and you will get an email with the eGift Card numbers. Be sure to join Fogo Rewards if you plan on dining a few times a year. It is worth it! You get to choose which reward you want from three options. The Gaucho Chefs carve the meat so fast I have a hard time taking pictures and then later trying to remember what I was eating! There are discs on the table. One side is red, the other is green. Flip the disc to green if you want more meat and red if you don't. On our latest visit on Oct. 26, 2025, I requested the hot sides (Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Caramelized Plantains & Crispy Polenta, and Pão de Queijo) to be brought out after we had made a trip to the market table and acquired some meat but they brought them all out right away. I dislike them getting cold on the table while we are away. Anyways... The Churrasco Experience includes a nice variety of meats. My favorite is the Lamb. We both love the Picanha (top sirloin), Bone-in Ribeye, Fraldinha (bottom sirloin), Filet, & Medalhes com Bacon. The favorite is the Bone-in Ribeye. If there are certain cuts of meats you want but the aren't making it to your table, you can ask the staff. You can also request Med. Rare if that's how you like it. Most of the meats that came to our table during our latest visit were Well Done and we don't like meat cooked that much!! We flagged down a staff member and they eventually brought out meat to our liking. Good to know! This is my birthday month, so we need to go again! They sent me $25 off a Full Churrasco. read more

One of the worst experience I've had in a long time. Came for a graduation celebration. Which in hindsight was a bad idea, because it was super busy. -reservation at 8:00 pm on a wed night. Didn't get seated until 9:20 pm. - They ran out of corona and medelo negra beer bottles. -AYCE 78 per person. When meats took forever to arrive. Pretty much full from salad bar. -receptionist was overwhelmed when asked about our reservation -lack of servers. As they missed/messed up our drinks. 2 stars instead of one. Because they did "try" with the overwhelming amount of people they had to deal with. Probably wont come back for a long time and definitely dont recommend for large events. read more

One of my kids received a digital deal for Fogo so we decided to go there for a birthday celebration. It was a wonderful choice. For roughly $50 each, we were able to enjoy a wide selection of meats and a nice variety of salad bar items. Nothing in the salad bar rocked my world but there wasn't anything I disliked. The special did exclude a few choice meat selections but with the choices that did come around, we didn't notice their omission. The majority of the meat was oh so tender. There were 2 beef selections that were on the dry side but not too bad. The only item that I raised my eyebrows at was the bacon wrapped chicken. It was dry. Sahara Desert dry. But you can't win them all right? Overall, A-1. Sorry I can't name all the meat selections but the restaurant is on the noisy side so it was hard to hear the servers as they brought each item out. The service was top notch. So much better than the Brazilian place I went to in Gardena. Everyone here was so pleasant and helpful. Just made it a great evening. They also brought out a complementary chocolate lava cake for the birthday girl. Parking is plentiful in the multi level structure. You'll enter the office building lobby and walk about 50 yards to the restaurant entrance. I did notice that they charge $12 for valet service so be forewarned. The structure was free Sunday night but I don't know when gates are closed and paid parking is in effect. read more

Fogo de chao is just not the place for me. I feel highly out of place here and out of my social class LOL. The meat was alright and there wasn't anything that stood out to me in particular. I will say that the cheese balls and honey cheese were great. Maybe this place should just turn into a cheese shop. Service was fast and servers were receptive. Will never come back here again but it was a unique experience to say the least. read more

I've come to this location quite a few times with my boyfriend. I prefer this location because there is ample free parking nearby. Unfortunately this time wasn't as good as this location usually is. We were in the same section as a LARGE birthday party and I think our waitress was overwhelmed because she barely came around to us. Additionally, we didn't get as much of a selection of meats as we usually do. We were passed up by a couple of the meat guys and I think it was because they were caught up with the big party. Eh. Food here is usually really tasty. Truly the baked cheese drizzled with honey. Mmmm... so good. Frugal auntie tip: make sure to sign up for their rewards program online because they will send you all kinds of offers. For your birthday, you'll get $25 off your meal AND a free dessert. My bf got the tres leches to go and he was telling his family recently just how good it was. read more

Fogo de Chão - Green means go - Steakhouses Near Me - El Segundo, California

I am very split for my review. Came here for my husband's birthday. We were seated promptly and service was great. The hiccups were when we first got seated I believe the rush was starting and they were in the middle of switching servers so we were sitting for about 10 minutes before a server came over and helped us out. He was really nice and it was obvious that he was trying his hardest to catch up after having 5 parties sat at once. Overall the food was meh. There is a buffet of sides that you can choose from and a bunch of different meats. I don't know if I would come back- there wasn't anything that stuck out to me as amazing. The experience was great don't get me wrong, all of the meats coming out and slicing at the table- what a show! I just really wasn't a huge fan. The tables are very close together making it difficult for servers to cut through if there are guests walking by. Getting to the bathroom was a struggle with kids. read more

Great value when you've got people who can eat! Perfect choice for our group of large men who love beef lol. Actually even the grandparents who don't eat meat love it here because they can get the salad bar only - this is no ordinary salad bar. Soooo many atypical items in the salad bar like papaya, fresh pomegranate, smoked salmon etc. The other more common options were fresh and great quality. Love how clean they maintain the salad bar too. Note - we like the fogo on La Cienaga in BH the best. Much larger, the el Segundo location is more cramped with the tables a bit too close together and it gets quite crowded. The Pasadena location is the largest but not well maintained. read more

David, our waiter was amazing. Waters filled, check. Clean plates, check. Constant attention paid to my kids, check. Service was great. The place was super clean and the market bar was always stocked despite the fact that the place was packed. My daughter, who is 4, never had steak and she was in heaven. Her favorite is the pichana. My wife had shrimp and yucca fries and loved them both. I devoured the meat and the cheesy bread and was in heavav heaven. Also, pleasant surprise that my daughter got free food because she isb4 and my son was half price because he is nine. Turned out to be a great family deal. read more

It was my 7th anniversary so my husband made reservations for us. He has been here once before but this was my first time and my last time. Let me start off by saying I'm not a meat eater like that. The ambience was romantic and our waiter Pamela was great she explained the menu and how it works because I looked overwhelmed and unsure. My husband chose the same thing for me which was all the meats plus salad bar. The salad bar has many options but when I saw a fly on the cheese I was grossed out. I did tell someone that was stocking the salad bar there was a fly she said, "oh no", and took the piece of cheese but the fly was on everything. I didn't go back for anymore. I really wanted chicken and I asked our waiter for chicken and she came back 20 mins to ask if the chicken came around and I told her no. When I did get the two options of chicken they were delicious. Fall off the bone good. They also gave us garlic mashed potatoes as a side and with also caramelized bananas, and crispy plantains. We did order a dessert which was the chocolate lava cake and it was good! Overall, if you're a meat lover and just want meat this is heaven. It just wasn't for me but that's just me. read more

This review goes towards service at Fogo De Chaño. The only time we got service was the time we sat down by the host. After that one time nobody came to check on us. Asked if we needed water,drinks, or anything. There was no waiter or waitress being attentive. From the time we got there it was not busy at all. Sitting right next to the cashier where they would come all the time and not once ask if we needed any service. The one waitress we ask for drinks had an attitude upon asking. Horrible service for a so called great restaurant and especially for the price we pay. read more

Fogo de Chão - Receipt for horrible service - Steakhouses Near Me - El Segundo, California

We took our strictly carnivore son to Fogo de Chao to celebrate his Birthday. The restaurant is located in a business park in El Segundo, and offers options of valet parking ($12) or self parking (structure located on the right side of the restaurant, first 90 min free). Inside is quite spacious with seating for 150+ people. Besides the regular tables, there are also bar, private party rooms, and outside seating. Since we have already made our reservation online, the host guided us to our table right away. The ambience was quite festive with balloons, cakes and echoing Happy Birthday singings, as many of the patrons had the same idea of celebrating their loved ones' special days here. We opted for AYCE Brunch which included salad bar with a good selection of fruits, vegetables, cold cuts, and some desserts. The servers with skewers of meats started to come to our table as soon as we flipped the card to green (which meant "yes, we want meat"). Garlic steak, fillet mignon, lamb chop, chicken, ribs, sirloins and more kept coming. But the star of the show was Picanha (rump cover), its tender and buttery meat coated with savory coarse salt was a marriage made in heaven. The attentive servers kept the meats coming and even asked if we wanted to repeat some of them. But after one hour, we were pretty much done. We closed our lunch with their famous Crème Brule Cheesecake. All I can say is wow. The blending of the sweetness from the smoothly rich cake and sugar crust with the tartness from jam sauce created an incredibly contrasting taste. And to wrap everything together, there was the pleasant and crunchy crust on the bottom. Overall, it was a great experience, and Fogo de Chao is definitely an excellent Brazilian BBQ restaurant choice. read more

I received a call and an email from the manager and they made it right. Very gracious customer service.

Came here for lunch on New Year's Eve with my wife. I will break down this review into four parts as there is a lot to discuss. Atmosphere - We were seated at one of the tables in the middle of the room. I felt cramped since the tables were bunched close together and the restaurant was packed with people. I also smelled an unpleasant fishy odor in the air when I sat down. Luckily, I stopped paying attention to it after a few minutes. Service - The service here is inconsistent. On the one hand, the servers who assisted us were very personable and helpful. We were checked up on regularly and drinks were refilled. On the other hand, the gauchos did not come around to our table enough. We were sitting for 15-20 minutes at a time waiting for someone to come around to serve us meat. I had a similar experience at the Beverly Hills location. It's surprising to me that this is the case since this restaurant employs plenty of staff. The biggest disappointment came when my wife asked a server if they had the queijo assado. The server said yes, and would have someone bring it right out. About 15 minutes later, my wife asked about it again to the same server. The server said she'll check on that. A few minutes later, someone did bring some out, but they were given away to other customers. We didn't get this item until after we ordered and were waiting for our dessert about 10 minutes later. Food - We ordered the Indulgent Churrasco which includes everything on the Full Churrasco list and adds a dessert and a premium dish. For the premium dish, I ordered the lobster tail while my wife ordered the jumbo crab cake. Full transparency. My review of the food here is based on the meats and not the salad bar and desserts. Because let's be honest, most people come here for the meats. On the whole, I was disappointed with the quality of the food. While I enjoyed the picanha and sausages very much, I didn't like pretty much everything else I tasted. The sirloin was overcooked, the lobster tail was undercooked, and the jumbo crab cake was dry and lacked flavor (it could have used a sauce to enhance the flavor of the crab meat). Parking - Parking is easy at this location. You have two options. You can pay $12 for valet service up front like we did or you can park in the parking structure behind the restaurant. Final thoughts - I've now been to two Fogo de Chao locations. Personally, I'm not a fan of the food. My wife, on the other hand, really likes Fogo de Chao (primarily for the plantains and cheeses). She's been to three locations. But even she was disappointed with her experience at this restaurant the other day. She said that her recent experience at the Downtown location was better. read more

Showed up for an early dinner meeting, arrived a little early and sat at the bar lounge area which was pretty good. Drinks were amazing from our bartender but there was an area near us which appeared to have a had a spilled dish of some sort and was pretty sticky. Did not seem to bother any worker there as it was in a high traffic area and was continuously stepped on over again and again. The bathroom was is terrible shape and someone appeared to had vomit in the urinal I'm actually hoping it was in fact vomit I'm not sure, and the sink area was pretty bad as well. Kinda grossed out and took from the overall experience. read more

We had a great time at Fogo in El Segundo, hosting our friend visiting from abroad. The food was amazing. We had the Best of Brazil (ask for the special menu), and it was great! The service was excellent . Our server was Issam from Honduras. He was friendly, helpful, and he also speaks 5 different languages, including Chinese!

I honestly don't understand the hype around Fogo de Chão. The service was terrible from start to finish. After being seated, our assigned waiter showed up once to take our drink order and then completely disappeared for the rest of the night. We had to flag down multiple random servers just to get basic drink refills, which is unacceptable for a place at this price point. It felt like no one was actually responsible for our table. To make it worse, when we were ready to leave, we waited so long for the bill that we eventually had to get up and go to the front hostess stand ourselves. The only reason this isn't a one-star review is because the bussers and the meat servers were actually kind and doing their jobs. Everyone else? Completely absent. First time here, and definitely the last. Not worth the money or the frustration. read more

We enjoyed being seated on the patio with our amazing server Ariel, he was attentive and kind to all our needs. My boyfriend goes through coke 0 like nothing and after he asked for the second glass Ariel got the message that likely anytime he's coming around my boyfriend would want a coke 0 lol. And he did exactly that, he was keeping up with his empty cups which was great. He was so personal and kind as was the host. The some of the gauchos could have been a bit kinder and clearer about that they had but the food was great! The patio was fresh and well shaded and much better compared to the crowded dining room, I was worried about the gauchos not coming often bc we were outside but not at all they were coming regularly. read more

Fogo de Chão - Cheescake brulee - Steakhouses Near Me - El Segundo, California

This review is solely on the pathetic service this restaurant has. The servers ARE NOT attentive at all. It's difficult to flag them down and to think we came early and there weren't too many people yet, but it seems they were flustered for some reason. Meats were served at an extremely slow pace. I'm not sure if that is their style so as we don't get more meat. I really can't tell. All restaurants should make service their number one priority, especially if your prices are at the higher price range. Not fair at all. We came to enjoy but spent most of our 2 hour dining waiting on the food. read more

This review isn't about the food. Most people agree it's good. This is for my wheelchair using families. I've never been to this restaurant when it's not crowded. Each of the two times I've been with my mom who uses a wheelchair it's been a struggle when she needed to go to the restroom. We were seated in the front of the restaurant. Maneuvering over the little humps (the gold accent that's the transition from carpet to wood walkway) and the multiple rugs were challenging. When the restaurant is full, we literally had to ask someone to stand up and move their chair in so we could get through. Thankfully she only needed to go twice. On the last trip back to the table the party that was sitting with the tight squeeze had left so it was a breeze to get by. Other than the walkways this place is always a good spot. Perhaps next time we need to request to be closer to the restrooms. read more
