I will give credit where credit is due - meats are great and the servers were kind. However, towards the second half of my dining, it felt like my table was waiting forever to get meats. We all had our green cards up and yet no one came around to serve meats. One of the servers said he would come back, but never did. I appreciate the service, but the lack of consistency did not make an overall good experience. read more

First time here and I was very excited. We were able to visit thanks to a yelp event! Parking was easy to get on a weekday. The wait was not that long as they had already set up a spot for yelp members. Our first stop was at the market table (salad bar)! There was ALOT to choose from and I wanted to try to fit them all on 1 plate. From salami to salmon to sweet bacon. All was good and some had a vinegary taste. My favorite was the salmon on top of a bed of spinach. The meat arrived and each server had brought a different kind of meat. He would slice the meat off for you but you have to grab your Tongs! Each meat was tender and medium rare (upon request). There was lamb, bacon wrapped chicken, pork, steak, ribs, a lot of choices. The chicken was my least favorite as it was dry and hard to chew. My favorite was the lamb! It was cooked perfectly. Next the desert: we had key lime and chocolate cake! Both were delicious!!! I would definitely come back for that! read more

Fogo de Chão - Caprinha - Brazilian Near Me - Addison, Texas

Some friends and I recently dined here with a FB coupon one happened to stumble upon and buy was the food outstanding. Literally all you can eat, from meat and chicken, to veggies and soup, bread and all sorts of cheese...amazing salad bar. Waiter service was great, felt rushed a bit when the young men with the skewers would offer something, but overall a great experience. Would return again with another special of some sort, but not able to pay full price. read more

Mr. Jagger was a fantastic server! Helped us have a great Valentines dinner even when he wasn't our server to begin with. We have come to this location many times and always have great servers and service! The atmosphere is definitely for a business dinner or upscale romantic dinner. This location has always proven to give us the best dining experience and we always end up full and happy! read more

As part of onboarding with my new company, my new boss flew down from Kansas City along with two local co-workers decided tp take me to lunch here at Fogo de Chão Brazillian Steakhouse in Addison. I had been to Texas de Brazil in the past, but it was so long ago, I don't even think Yelp was around back then. So this place reminded me of that place of course. I am sure you've read reviews on how things work here. If you get the all you can eat deal, then you aren't limited to all the meat you can eat, but there's a trick to it all. As my new boss and new co-workers stated, hold off till the good meats come around, like the filet mignon and other cuts of meat like that or you will get full on the cheap meats that they bring out first. So yeah, I noticed that right off the bat the cheaper meats came out first, and then the good cuts came out. All the meats I did try were good, but the filet mignon was the one that stood out. **TIP** Don't get over anxious when the meats come out, wait till the good cuts of meat come out, you won't regret it. read more

Food was the best continuous service the best beautiful people place was very clean great

Wow. I'd never eaten at a Brazilian steakhouse before, but I'm still trying to recover from the food coma induced. Last night I came with my parents for my dad's company holiday party and we were all huge fans. I didn't do much research beforehand, so I really wasn't prepared for the sheer amount of delicious food served here. I understand the high price tag given the quality of even the "throwaway" dishes: the cheesy bread, the salad bar, the mashed potato, yucca and plantain sides, the cocktail shrimp. I especially enjoyed the candied bacon at the salad bar and the imported salami. But oh man, the meat. I'm pretty sure I said yes to every type of sirloin and then they still kept coming. The filet mignon was juicy and tender. I enjoy my steaks medium rare and every cut was cooked to perfection. We left with $25 gift cards for future visits, so I'll definitely be coming back. Next time I'll just have to remember to not eat anything for the rest of the day to prepare myself for the feast! Service was excellent and our server was very attentive with drinks. Chardonnay was excellent and my parents enjoyed the pinot noir. read more

This was an easy five star. This is my first time at Fogo de Chão in Texas. I've been in DC before and I was not so pleased. However, my experience here was amazing! It was a yelp elite event. For drinks I had the caipirinha and they seemed to get stronger as the night progressed. As always with Brazilian steak houses, I was overwhelmed with the meat selection. Lol. I tried the lamb, filet mignon and top sirloin. Everything was so tasty and hot. The sides were pretty good as well, I had the potato salad, chicken salad and rice. I particularly really enjoyed the chicken salad. I was impressed with the service and our waiter was very attentive to the needs of my table. I will definitely be returning here. read more

Wanted to try the addison location as my neighbor and I thought the legacy west food and service was average last time we went for dinner. This location was no different. We went on Monday evening. We were promptly seated, but it took them few mins to serve us the food. They keep bringing the top sirloin back and our requests for lamb and chicken took quiet sometime. For the price and the brand I hope they improve the standard of the service as well. read more

I have been to other restaurants like this one before but tonight was the best by far. The Service was excellent. Everyone on the staff we encountered was friendly, helpful and so willing to please. Our cocktails were delicious. The food was excellent. The servers remembered that one person at our table liked medium rare meat and the rest liked rare so they would make sure we had both choices. We would recommend this place to everyone!!!! read more

The food here is amazing & service is impeccable, we had Chase as our server and he was very helpful and attentive. Highly recommend the picanha cut as well as all the sirloin cuts! And the mango habanero caipirinha! read more

I have a wonderful memory of eating here maybe 10 years ago, but this experience was nothing like that. Granted, it was Mother's Day when I visited and very busy. They did not pull off the feel of upscale or intimate. One of the employees was at the salad bar and loading additional cheeses and I asked her if she would mind if I grabbed a few pieces. I had to ask because she showed no social cues that I was there. She then asked if I would mind leaving so she could go home. She was joking, but that's not why I pay that kind of money for a place like that. The meats were pretty salty. The only red meat that I really thought was great was the filet mignon. Our table service was very good. The drinks were good. It just didn't have the overall experience that I expected or wanted on that night or for that experience or value. If there weren't other similar reviews I might give them a chance on a quieter night. But there are...too bad, I was hoping for a place to return for other special occasions. I won't be driving 30 minutes for this one again. read more

The customer service was AMAZING! The market table items were fresh, and OMG the lamb chops were SO GOOD! We will definitely be back!

Fogo de Chao (Addison) NEVER disappoints. The service and attention from Jagger (and staff) was outstanding! TheEntire waitstaff is amazing. Attentive without being bothersome. Perspective- you are never without ANYTHING "no more Ahmazing rolls! ". If you have NO self control. ‍. If you want a dining EXPERIENCE the Fogo@Addison is the spot! Thank you Fogo for remembering that SERVICE MATTERS. Luis you've done a good thing! read more

Another great exprience at Fogo de Chao! The service and food are consistently great. The salad bar offers more choices than a person could possible want, and the meat is piping hot and tastes fantastic. The staff is attentive, but not too attentive. QUINCY was a standout for sure, keeping our wine glasses full and recommending a great dessert. We'll be hack again soon! read more

This was, hands down, one of the worst eating experiences I've had in a while, if not ever. We had a reservation for 7 people the week prior to Christmas. No issue getting our reservation honored and seated. Once at the table, chaos ensued. Apparently *this* location doesn't have server specific tables, and you are to ask anyone to order, get refills, etc. We had one server come over to get our drink orders, and he got half of them and never came back to the table on his own. At no point did anyone ask what we wanted to eat, since some of us did not want the bottomless Brazilian steakhouse option. I tracked down our original server, to order my entree, and he did not attempt to ask if anyone else was interested in ordering from the menu and took off before anyone could say anything. Once two other people placed orders with a different server, one of the other entrees was brought out. Nobody ever brought the other guests entree. We were there til closing, nearly 3 hours, after constantly having to walk around and find service on our own. Asking for the check and having it take 30 minutes... Don't bother talking to the manager, he doesn't care. It was horrible and I'll never be back. read more

Best chicken ever!!! Amazing staff and delicious food, and a lively atmosphere, I would highly recommend group events!

Very nice place, my wife and I go there a lot. The whole experience is wonderful. Mekdes is so nice, she took really good care of us.

We have eaten at several Fogo locations in the metro and always liked it. Stepping in THIS location, you are greeted with the stench of dank mildewy carpet. I'm Home now, but my clothes still reek of it. The salad bar was an embarrassment, with wet soggy meats that had turned brown and limp veggies. The meats were way too salty and overcooked. We waited 20 minutes for filet and it came out practically raw. The lambchops were the only thing worth eating. The service was adequate but the overall experience was a zero. and we paid $400. What an absolute disappointment. read more

Amazing meat choices and their food bar has healthier options than Texas de Brazil. The atmosphere is a little stuffier, but the service is more efficient. If I was 20 years older I'd like this place better. Depends on what you're looking for ... Could be a 4 or 5 star. Also - mashed potatoes are a ... Sweet potato casserole is yum ... No lobster bisque read more

If you have never dined Churrasco style before, Fago de Chao is the spot INHO. Many other establishments have attempted to recreate the quality, variety, and service of Fago; however, have failed in comparison. Meat meat meat!!! Come hungry, eat slowly, avoid the salad bar (aka The Market Table), skip the rolls and sides (garlic mash pots & caramelized bananas) delivered to your table...and eat like a man dang it! Warning: You might very well suffer the three day post-food-coma like I did after my most recent visit, but it's worth doing...at least once. Having been to this original (first ever Fago in the U.S.) a few times before, I had never allowed myself such indulgence. But sometimes, you just have to say "screw it!" Like when you have a great hand in Texas Hold'em, I was "all in." As soon as you're seated and order your drinks (again, go with something light, skip the brew), you are invited to the self-service salad bar. Look, but don't touch! Soup station, several cheese selections, some veg, sliced sausage and cured meats, olives, etc...ironically very little "salad." If you're feeling the lighter side you can forgo roasted meats and purchase Market only dinner, but then why not just go to Jason's Deli or the like? Sincerely. The Art of Churrasco is truly a thing of beauty for carnivores - assorted meats on long skewers slow-roasted on a rotating wood fire flame. The Gaucho Chefs swarm the dining room offering slices of all of their goods (place coaster green side up for "more please" or red side up for "no thanks," but it doesn't really seem to matter...they just keep coming). The trick is to be certain to sample ALL meats (even if just a small bite of each); not just the least expensive Sirloin cut that seems to appear more than other selections. Remember, it's all about the meat - and the experience: Sirloin Tenderloin Rib eye Beef ribs - do NOT miss on these heavenly hunks Pork sausage Parm cheese crusted pork loin - a goody for sure Luscious lamb chops White wine infused pork ribs & Beer marinated chicken legs - yeah, go ahead. I think that about covers all the rules and regulations. An added note: the staff at the Dallas/Addison are all completely spot on! 5 star dining for sure. SaÚde! [177 in 2015] read more

I have been to many Brazilian Steak houses and Fogo de Chao is the standard that I judge all others. The cold salad bar is nicely presented and the hot bar is excellent. The cuts of beef are always great, however the chicken is just not good. The chicken is dry and salty. Fogo de Chao has different prices at there various locations It's $50 per person in Dallas. But you really get the sticker shock on all the add on's. Drinks start at $10, desserts are $10 but they are enough for 3 people. Coffee is $5 and the wine list is up there. The service is always excellent and they are accommodating with reservations. A tip of 18 percent is added for parties of 6 more. read more

Fogo de Chão - Flan - Brazilian Near Me - Addison, Texas

I can't believe I never wrote a review for this place. It is expensive, but it is so worth the cost. I highly recommend basically having a small breakfast in the morning and then do not eat until you get here for dinner. You want to be hungry to get your money's worth, and if you already eat small portions you're going to want to wear loose pants! If you're a salad person, their salad bar is legendary, but I do not feel the urge to fill up on greens (that cost basically nothing) when there are incredible cuts of meat floating around the room on magical wands. You will have what looks like a coaster, green means "gimme gimme more, gimme more, gimme gimme" and red means "hold on, i think there is a kink in the meat chute, please wait while i digest". Try one of everything and then become more choosey on what you add to your plate. They change their options often but the last time I was there they had this garlic and something crusted lamb that was to die for, they also had a bacon wrapped chicken that I melted for, and the steak.... ohhhh.... the steak... If you thought all this place had was an incredible salad bar and huge piles of meat, you're wrong. They also provide family style side-dishes to each table to tempt you even further. They have a VERY well stocked bar, with some great bartenders, and some dessert options that could take you from the edge of a food coma into a nose dive of sugary, diabetic filled unconsciousness. It's all delightful, but definitely a special occasion, once in a long while place, because otherwise it's just too overwhelming! read more

It had been 5 years since visiting Fogo de Chao in Addison, so when the thought of celebrating 3 birthdays came up, I suggested Fogo because of my past, excellent experience with the restaurant. I was a little concerned because of COVID as this place used to be rocking with people, shoulder to shoulder, in the bar area waiting for tables. But, I figured they had made the necessary accommodations to keep that from happening, so we booked the reservation for 7 on Saturday night. My first surprise was that the bar area was still shoulder-to-shoulder with people. No social distancing whatsoever, with a few folks not even wearing masks. Our reservation was for 7:30 and we were seated about 7:45 which is normal for a busy, popular restaurant. Our seating was actually a very good location, away from the center of the restaurant so I was pleased with that. Our waitress was very nice and welcomed us to the restaurant and explained the rules (COVID) very clearly. The salad bar at Fogo was always a highlight for my family in the past and this time was no different. Excellent selection on this salad bar. A full meal could be had at this stop alone. So the night was well on the way to being a success. After clearing the salad plates was when things got very disappointing. In the past once salad was removed, our table would literally be swarming with Gauchos filling up your plate with the premium cuts of meat. Not so on this trip. We waited about 10 minutes for the first Gaucho to arrive with Garlic Beef. One small piece on each plate and another 5-10 minute wait for another Gaucho and it was chicken legs and sausage. So we are 20 minutes into our meal and absolutely no sirloin, filet, or rib eye had been served to our table. But multiple servings of garlic potatoes, bananas and bread. By now I could see the game being played and I was very upset. I excused myself from the table as to not make a scene in front of family/friends and found the manager to tell him how disappointed I was so far with our experience and that if it didn't turn around quickly, that we were going to have an issue with what I knew would be a sizable bill at the end. To his credit, after my direct confrontation, our evening began to resemble what I remembered about the service at Fogo-de-Chao. The premium cuts were brought out multiple times and everyone had their fill of quality steak. I applaud the manager's willingness to listen and correct the situation for my party!! In conclusion the night turned out to be a success and we were all happy with the food, wine and desert. But, it should not have taken my blunt confrontation to get the expected level of service. It will be a long time again before I book another trip to this steak house. For the money spent ($100 per person after tip) I can't help but think a traditional steak house would be the way to go for me next time. read more

They never fail here especially at the Addison location. Every time my family and I come here I'm treated like loyalty and the food is always fresh and good!

This is my millionth time here and they never disappoint! Food was exquisite and service was impeccable! Pro tips: Be careful not to fill up on the salad bar! It deceptively easy to do. Pace yourself. There is only so much meat you can eat. Ask for the cuts you want. It is a business and they are it to turn a nice profit. So yeah, there are plenty of cheap cuts. But all you have to do is request the lamb, filet mIgnon! They will gladly oblige. In fact, we were finishing our lunch today and wanted one more piece of filet mIgnon. They prepared a new one for us because they were out of what they had made for lunch! Try the limeade. Or better yet, their house wine. Did you even know they had a house wine? Well they do and it's terrific! When you leave practically comatose or catatonic, be careful driving home! Most importantly, ENJOY the awesome food and ambiance! read more

This place has a lot of really good reviews, so my primary purpose is to make some comparisons to Texas de Brazil which has been our go-to Brazilian steakhouse for many years. The ambience: Fogo de Chao is somewhat better, a bit more upscale and the dark colors give it a feeling of more intimacy. The salad bar: both are very good, with tons of fresh veggies and great variety. I like both very much, but I am going to give the nod to Texas de Brazil because it has lobster bisque and I did not see any soup or bisque at Fogo. The meat: both are very good and the selection and quality is very good. I am going to give the nod to Texas de Brazil because the wife's lamb leg and lamb loin chops were not that good. Both were rather chewy rather than tender and the flavor at de Brazil was better. Conversely, my beef (filet wrapped in bacon and ribeye) were excellent and I liked them very much. The price: Fogo is $5 more per person for full dinner. Not that big of deal. The service: Texas de Brazil has one dedicated waiter/waitress to your table (aside from the meat servers of course). Fogo seems to have a team of waiters who can help you. In fact, I was amazed at the number of waiters who were constantly walking around. The downside of this system is that there can be confusion--we were double charged for two drinks. They were removed without any problem, but that never happened at de Brazil. And for some reason, despite the large numbers of waiters, I seemed to have a problem finding one person who could help us when I needed it. Overall, service is very good at both places but I am giving the nod to de Brazil. Overall: both are very good and you will get a great meal and be sorry that you ate so much at either place, but I am sticking with our old favorite for a return visit. read more

My favorite place of the moment. Top shelf, top quality and the price matches what you are getting, which lets face it, is rare these days. Service can be a bit spotty... still I love coming here and I love bringing family here when they visit. It's classy and elegant without being overbearing. Great parking and valet service. Lots of shops to walk off lunch. I love the vibe here. read more

Delicious food, great waiters. Kathy and Quinsin were very attentive. The meat just kept on coming. A great place for a date night :)

After having a terrible Brazilian BBQ experience at Blaze, we decided to get lunch here the next day. Impeccable service. Meats came out one at a time. They checked on us, kept up with refills, cleaning the table, and kept everything on the table filled. The Pão de Queijo was one of the best I've had. Jason and Horacio were both awesome and attentive. Will be back to try out the Wagyu cuts! read more

The food was OK, but Jesus the price was outrageous! I could get the same at most any Brazilian steakhouse for half the price. They were not any better or had better selection. Heard a lot about Fogo and thought we'd give it a try. read more

Keep in mind the prices vastly differ if you have lunch there vs dinner and during the week and on weekends. I tried it on Saturday during lunch and paid roughly $78 for a meal with an alchoholic drink and one non-alcoholic drink. The servers were nice and friendly, but most of my meat was chicken. I did get a few pieces of beef, but they were baby bite size portions. All of the meats were tough and over cooked. There were knats flying all over the place, and I got a whiff of bad/decay in the meats. I have a sensitive nose. It's a great place to eat if you just want the salad bar and a few drinks. HOwever, their meats were not spot on, very flavorless and tough and costly. read more
