    My first time at Fogo De Chão and it is in Brazil so I had high expectations since everyone loves this place in the US. I did not love it. Considering the price I did not get enough of the meat servings when the waiters came around. I had the green circle flipped. They came to my friends and bypassed me if I was not looking at them. I thought the circle handles if you want more food. You can check it out if you are visiting but I would not be dying to return. The ambiance was okay though. And the servers were friendly. But I think I missed most of the options during the Full Experience. I had to eat off of my friend's plates at times if the waiter skipped me.

    It's expensive for a Brazilian restaurant but when you compare it to NYC steakhouse its a great sitting. The mixed meat all you can eat dinner is 140 reis so about 40 a person. They had filet mignon, prime rib, ribs, sausages, chicken hearts (a bit too exotic for me to try) but all and all great quality grilled food. They also have the sides all you all you can eat so plenty of rices, potatoes, assortment of salads, cheeses/cold cuts, beans, etc. Only knock is I wish they offered more sauces to pair with the meats.

    The restaurant kept the tradition of being amazing. All the meat was realli fresh and tasted delicious. the desserts were amazing. No complains at all!

    This place was recommended by our hotel. The atmosphere is nice. You may have a beautiful Lake view. However I didn't feel comfortable at that restaurant. The waiters are kinda arrogant. I've never experienced such an behavior before in any other churrascaria. At some point they stopped serving us any more meat and ignored our table. They also tried to charge us more drinks than we had. Also expect to pay a lot for their buffet. It's not really worth the money. A place I wouldn't come back.

    PICANTE CUT ALL DAY, ERRDAY. I can literally eat 20 slices of just this meat the entire sitting. The chimichurri sauce that came alongside our meal was amazing. The service was superb. The buffet offering was a Class A act. A high-quality, well-rounded meal for just a fraction of the cost compared to what you'd pay in NYC. I would not change a thing.

    When asking several people, including the driver, what would be the best restaurant in Rio, the unanimous decision is Fogo, so we had to try it even though there is one smack in the middle of Addison, TX and soon to be in Plano too. The quality of meats and level of service is several notches above their location in Addison location (but Father's Day 2017 will still be celebrated there). They have the Best Mango Mousse that for some reason got removed from the US menu ages ago. Great view of the bay from their deck.

    Sweet Dreams. Extremely sweet. No balance

    I can not remember the last time I've had exceptional food and service simultaneously. The abundance of food and options was overwhelming but very much wanted. I had to stop myself seven times from over doing it. I will definitely be happy to have a heart track eating the lamb served here. I hope the NYC location is the same or better. Overall I highly recommend this location. However, drinks are borderline awful but that's seems to be all of Rio. Stick to beer as craft beer is huge and worthwhile in Rio.

    They did not keep "green-red" card rule and constantly asked us about meat even though our card was showing red by interrupting us from our conversation.Not attentive stuff. I felt biased after this restaurant because of some service details. The servant did not know much about wine list to recommend. Had so much expectations and was so disappointed.

While in Brazil, you learn quickly that the locals love steak and I love steak so figured this would be a fun trip. We decided to come to Carretao which is a rodizio style Brazilian restaurant.

You're given a disc which is right on one side and green on the other side as long as the green side is showing the staff will continuously bring different cuts of delicious meats to your table and slice you off some samples. There was an open salad bar, which was loaded with fresh salads and little appetizers, but the main attraction was the never ending Daisy chain of meats. I was in heaven, and I enjoyed every moment of it. My only complaint about this restaurant was that I definitely bought my appetite and after sometime, I noticed that the staff stopped coming to the table with the prime cuts of meat, but would only come with the less desirable cuts this didn't bother me too much because I definitely ate more than my fair share lol. I would absolutely come here again. The price was amazing. The staff was friendly and at the end of dinner we got some delicious dessert shots, which were quite a treat.

As with most other reviews mention, our stop here was for lunch on a day tour that was included in the price of the tour package. Every other group of diners also appeared to have been there in that capacity. Cruzeiro definitely felt almost like a cafeteria, with super white walls, tables, and decor. There is a swimming pool outside, that I am not sure what it's connected to, so that was odd. They did have the normal steakhouse Gauchos walking around with spokes of meats and food, and there were some side items in the middle of each table to share among the diners. Aside from the ambiance not being as upscale as other steakhouses we tried in Rio, the quality of meats also wasn't quite as top notch as the others either. Some were pretty fatty and others were sort of flavorless. I apologize sort of for comparing this to other highly acclaimed Brazilian Steakhouses, but it's hard to be impressed with Cruzeiro do Sol after trying those others. After reading other reviews, it appears that this steakhouse exists solely for the use of tours to offer a "lunch" option as part of the package. I would save your money (about $35 USD if you eat there outside of a tour) and eat elsewhere. Churrascaria Palace was only a tad bit more than that, and the ambiance and service there was ten times higher quality than that of Churrascaria Cruzeiro do Sol.

So we worked up an appetite and were ready to scarf down some meat. We were seated immediately and the waiter was quick to take our drink orders. I love how casual Rio is; people dining around us were in swim trunks and bikinis. So laid back--great vibes. The meats alone were pretty great, but the salad bar/buffet was a little underwhelming. I tried some sushi but it was not good. The sides that come to the table were also sub-par. I usually find myself munching on way too much bread because of how good it is, but that wasn't the case here. I really liked the steak with cheese and of course the picanha. Carretao is a great place for rodizio and the price isn't too bad. Though if I were back in Rio they wouldn't be my first choice.
