It's pretty good. I've only been once, but I remember filling up. It's really pretty, both inside and out, and I was really impressed. The food was tasty and I'm not a big meat eater. I may like it better than Texas de Brazil though I'd need to go back to be sure. read more

Our cocktails were fabulous as we sipped on seasonal Pineapple Old Fashion, basil gin gimlet, and Brazilian martini. We then enjoyed the salad bar that had a huge variety of veggies and notably prosciutto , hard salami, and glazed bacon. Finally the piece de resistance was the never ending meat parade that was so incredibly filling. Absolutely the best ever meal spent with my loved ones. read more

I go to Fogo about once every other month. This is a great place to celebrate birthdays, take clients or just enjoy a very filling dinner. The format is, I think, the thing that keeps me coming back. All the meat you can eat? I'm for that. I love the way they just keep coming at you with it. My favorite cut is the bottom sirloin. This is called "tri tip" in the few other restaurants and butcher shops where you might find it (good luck): I highly recommend it - it is the most flavorful cut they have. Also, be sure to ask for the beef ribs - you can see them out front as you come in (I always think of the Flintstones when I see them)...anyway, they don't bring them around as often as the other stuff, so be sure to ask. It's like the richest roast beef you're ever had. The salad bar is great as well, because someone who doesn't eat meat can find plenty to eat there. My kids are addicted to the cheese puffs; I can't blame them. The wine list is very good: lots of good choices at all price ranges, The service is typically very attentive, except sometimes when the place gets really crazy and packed. I really enjoy this place. read more

My wife and I have dined here on several occasions throughout the past couple of years and unfortunately it seems like this locations is on a downward cycle. Each time we come it seems that the service is getting worse and the quality of the food seems to diminish. On this occasion we found the meat to be very fatty and later on that evening we both ended up feeling very ill. It's sad to say that I don't think we will be coming back. read more

I have visited this location four times now and every time the food and service is impeccable. This place never disappoints. The "salad" bar is delicious and has a large variety of snacks (especially for vegetarians or not big meat eaters). Sliced cheeses, fresh veggies, gourmet potato salad, hearts of palm, marinated mushrooms, and tabouleh to name a few highlights. It's tempting to go crazy here, but pace yourself and get a few small bites. Once the real meal begins the salad bar becomes a distant memory. One thing I really love about this place that not too many people hit on is how well a gluten free person can eat here. My mom who has an allergy to celiac was with us and the waiter informed us almost everything is gluten free. The only things that weren't were the bread at the salad bar and the chicken and sausage (they are marinated in beer). This means those delicious cheesy "bread" bites are even gluten free! This is an absolute treat for my mom. And any GF patron. All that said, service is great you can always ask a server or manager for a cut of meat you're looking for. They found the filet mignon guy for me and he kept checking to see if I wanted more. I have to suggest that and the lamb! Try the mint jelly. For drinks and dessert, my boyfriend loves their limeade and I can't leave without having some of their flan. I'll keep coming back! read more

Having had dined at this particular several times, I can't imagine food tasting, smelling or looking any better on this side of the galaxy. They made a superb "Texas Style" Long Island Ice Tea also! Anyone that would give this place just 1 or 2 stars probably has tapeworms and NEVER gives more than 2 stars for ANY restaurant. The Lamb-Chops are to die for as well as everything else. Gluttony may be a sin but at Fogu de Chao I will take my chances. I shall return here many more times! read more

Oh please... feels like fogo is not up their standards anymore. It's only the name and we paid too much for service/ food like that. I'm not cheap but paid 250$ for 3 we expect something more... my family were there for only 30 minutes only before we decided to go.. read more

Cannot add anything that hasn't been said so I'll make it to-the-point. Fogo De Chao is a great place to eat, worth the price (in my opinion) which is saying something considering I am more often than not a broke college student. 1. The salad bar is amazing, I love salads but never end up eating them at restaurants. Why eat something you can easily make yourself? But this isn't any salad bar, in fact the label "salad bar" doesn't do it justice because it is then thrown in the same category as what they serve at Golden Corral and Ci-Ci's. Varieties of dressings, aged cheeses, pickled and fresh vegetables, olives, greens, smoked meats and more make it something special. As good as the salad is, I have to contain myself from getting too much because the main reason you're eating here are the delicious grilled meats. 2. Before you get anything I would recommend ordering the Limonada. It. Is. Delicious. The first time I ate here I was not expecting the drinks alone to be worth raving about, but it is so refreshing, sweet, and unique. The only problem is it could be a bit filling -- I order it every time, anyway. I was able to replicate the drink at home if anyone's interested it contains water, sugar, limes and condensed milk. 3. The meats are delicious. Charred, perfectly seasoned and cooked just right -- everything about that has already been described (see the 200 reviews). My favorites are the Parmesan pork and the filet wrapped in bacon, but I'm not picky. I try anything that makes its way to my table. Do ask to try the sauces and condiments. They aren't offered, so you have to ask for them. I like the chimichurri. Oh, the side dishes are great to. You get mashed potatoes, baked bananas, fried polenta, and pao de queso (cheese bread), all yummy. And they will be replenished by the attentive staff before you even realize you need more. Service is excellent. Almost dumbfounding. Tip: If you want to try this place out, try doing it on a non-holiday (Mother's/Father's Day, etc.) I was invited as part of a group taking our mothers out on Mother's Day and while everything was great, it was just way too crowded. The staff was visibly overwhelmed and the tables/seats had to be pushed together like sardines. read more

This place is absolutely amazing. I had never been to a Brazilian style steakhouse, but I was definitely glad I found this place in the "Addington" magazine. I had asked friends about it and they had nothing about fantastic things about this place. So, I knew this was the place to take my wife to for our 1st wedding anniversary. Service - We arrived about 15 min early and were seated right away. Our server asked if we had ever been here and we both said "No." She proceeded to tell us how they operate and what you do when it comes to receiving your food. She was very friendly and always had a smile on her face. Everyone there works as a team and helps you out with anything that you need. Definitely an A+, for service, and that is huge for me when it comes to dining out. Food - The food was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. You first start out with this gorgeous salad bar filled with differnent salads, meats, cheese, etc. It was by far the nicest looking salad bar I have ever seen and the the most delicious! After we finished the salad portion, we went out to the meat. There were about 15 different meats, being carried around by 15 people, on platters continuously walking around the restaurant. If your card is facing green, they will flock to your table, tell you what kind of meat it is and ask if you want any. Every piece of meat what so tender and melted in your mouth. It was absolutely awesome. My favorite was the lamb and the filet. They also give you some side dishes at your table you can pick up to accompany your meat. You can also get mint jelly, their house chimichuri, or some horse radish. I was in heaven the whole night. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone to check this place out. It was unbelievably delicious and I know we will be back again! read more

Compared to all the other Brazilian steak houses Fogo was my least favorite. They try to sell you on appetizers when you walk in, yes I get it that they want to up sell for their tip increase but there's a whole salad bar and endless meats that will be served. What I found different was that the men who serve the meat would set down their meat at our table BEFORE we would say we want it or not. I was disappointment they didn't offer grilled pineapples, chimichurri sauce, or a dessert bar. Fogo is just as expensive as the other steak houses but offers less. read more

Good but not wow good and definitely overpriced, much rather go to Texas de Brazil, even Estilo Gauchos in Frisco is way better than Fogo

I literally only come here for the cheesy popovers. They're warm, chewy, and cheesy tasting. I can just sit there eating them all night. I don't really eat meat, but I can still go there for their great salad bar and sides. Honestly the sides are nothing special. They're basically there to fill you up. Cooked bananas, fried polenta, and mashed potatoes. Not bad, but not great either. For $25 bucks you can have all you can eat salad bar, the three sides, and a plate of cooked veggies with some rice. And for $50 you can have all you can eat meat, the three sides, and salad bar. As far as dessert goes, I've only tried the tres leches cake. It was only average. If you want a good tres leches cake go to La Duni. I did however see many people order the strawberry cream. Its strawberries blended into ice cream. If you like meat this is the place for you. But even if you're not, I'm sure the salad bar will impress you. Artichoke hearts, manchego cheese, smoked salmon, just to name a few. read more

Pros: The only reason that this rating is even three stars is the food. That salad bar is absolutely phenomenal with a delectable spread of fresh vegetables, homemade mozzarella, delicious salamis and cheeses, and super tasty heart of palm and sun dried tomatoes. The meats were delicious, savory, exceptional - my favorite was the Garlic Picanha, hands down. I felt like the service from the gentlemen that were servicing meat was prompt and polite. For the amount of food that we ate, I felt the price was fair. Cons: The urgent and rushed atmosphere was a little unnerving but nothing compared to the terrible service we received from the moment we stepped foot in the restaurant. I had a reservation for 7:30pm, we arrived at 7:31pm and were told (no joke) we needed to wait and were seated at 8:00pm. Ridiculous. The wait staff was very disappointing; we would finish our (unbeknownst to us but horrifically overpriced) soda waters and waited ten or fifteen minutes for a refill. We were charged $7.50 for three soda waters with lime, just soda water from the bar with a slice of lime. A price that is just ridiculous for what we received. Overall: Three stars awarded for the food being exceptional. If the service was better, I would have given more. However, I think next time we will head over to Texas de Brazil instead. read more

I've only been here three times in my life -- once when I was an elementary schooler and couldn't appreciate the sumptuous dining that is Fogo de Chao, once when I ate to the point of explosion (sometime in middle school? I forget), and the latest for my high school graduation. I don't care too much about service unless it's ridiculously awful or ridiculously noteworthy, and this place definitely falls in the latter category. Once your water gets below the 60% full line, there's a refill. Plates are switched out so often, and if you do so much as nudge your plate slightly to the side, it gets taken up pretty much immediately. There are many servers, and they're all attentive of you, whether or not your table falls within their boundaries. Fogo basically falls into two components: the salad bar, and men walking around with luscious meat, along with some plantains, mashed potatoes, pop-over cheese puffs, and fried sticks of what I suspect to be the same batter they used for the pop-overs (the puffs will keep both children and adults mesmerized, trust me). Those get served at your table an are refilled whenever depleted. There are usually 6-8 different types of meat walking around; the overall quality of them are superb (I would stick with plain ol' meat and not so much the bacon-wrapped / parmesan crusted whatever whatever. Just go with meat, and that'll take you far), and you match them up with the incredibly fresh selections from the salad bar (which include lots of cheeses and dried meats, palm hearts, whole garlic bulbs [unf], asparagus stalks, etc). Both men and women would be pleased with Fogo, I think, because there is also a salad bar-only option for a little less money if the ladies/men don't feel like getting their carnivore on. They sport a good wine selection, but I'm not one to order alcohol with my meal so I don't know too much about that (happy hour is different). The desserts are around an extra $10, but are just as high quality. I've only had the papaya creme (refreshing! like a papaya milkshake, essentially), but I see the other reviewers on here raving about their pies and things. For lunch, I really think you get the bang for your $30+ buck. The atmosphere is clean and sophisticated, and the servers do their job in being polite and professional. It's a good place for a date, for a business meeting, or an interview. I mean, what's to go wrong when there's so much good food around you? read more

I love this place! Only regret? Wished I could have eaten more! Best service ever! Hands down! Like I think if I would have dropped my fork, one of the waiters would have caught it before it landed on the ground. The experience was amazing here. And the quality of the meat was amazing. Everything was cooked so well. I love how you can get medium rare or medium well depending on where they cut the meat. Sure it's expensive, but for the quality, taste, and service, pretty well priced. read more

The food I tried was delicious but my other said everything outside of the beef left much to be desired. The merlot we ordered was nice and the lava cake was...okay. I do not think the meats and sides are worth $50 per person. The other diners made for some interesting people watching. I would come here for birthday dinners and things like that. I have spent time in Brazil and have been to numerous real Brazilian steakhouses, this is pretty close but they are missing a few things. read more

I heavily advise you pick another Fogo location or Texas De Brazil a block away. If you're into bad service, mediocre meat, unsanitary salad bar, watered down drinks, having your table bussed before you're ready leave, servers bumping into you to get you to leave, and paying hundreds for the privilege, then this is your place! We weren't there but an hour and a half and got literally pushed out of our table so they could use it. Unbelievable. We were nothing but gracious at the time. It is clear this is a high priced Luby's by design of the management team. read more

Me and my family went to Fogo de Chao, and it was delicious! The service there was amazing, the atmosphere was great, and the food was so good! I recommend definitely. read more

Fogo and Texas de Brazil are pretty much the same. Same concept. You have a two sided coaster on your table. One side green one "Mas" one side red "no mas". Which you flip as you want more beef. Green more, red no more. So you can pace yourself as you wish. I prefer Fogo de Choa. They came first and set the standard for me. The restaurant is really cozy and well decorated. The constant flow of different cuts of meats are always circulating. The also have chicken, lamb, and even chicken hearts. Great salad bar and deserts. Very extensive wine list. read more

My personal favorite restaruants come down to this place and Empa Mundo. Both a very different as Fogo De Chao has an extremely up class setting and some serious wait staff who slice meat directly onto your plate. The picanha is heavenly and the salad bar surpasses every other salad bar in Dallas. If you make it in be sure to order the Guarana for your beverage that stuff is great! read more

Meat, meat, and more meat! All of it was wonderful and distinctive. I tried several types of beef, chicken, sausage, and lamb. All of it was wonderful. I'm not really a big salad guy, but the salad bar was great. All sorts of salamis and cheeses, nice vegetables. Can't say enough about how good and fast the service was as well. Come hungry! read more

I have been here twice and i forgot to yelp for some reason. Maybe i was so high on the food and i lost it. I have to be prepared when i come to dinner here. It a meat feast, ready to eat like you have never been eating in a million years. The salad buffet are awesome, wish they have a salad buffet for the vegan. I only eat meat occasionally with friends visiting. You can't go wrong with the quality of meat they have here. Tender and cook perfectly, just melt in your mouth. I've tried different places and this place is the best one. They are not afraid to slice you a piece of meat. Some place had a limit of how many time they can walk pass by your table or something. I should made this place once a year tradition. Then i won't have to see meat again for the rest of the year. Cheers! read more

Love this place. I was overwhelmed with all the options of meat...salad...cheese...bread....EVERYTHING! The service is amazing and I would recommend this to anyone who is a carnivore lol. If you are ever in the area of one give it a try. It's a bit pricey ($100+ for 2 adults) but worth it. read more

Fogo de Chão - Happy Anniversary cheesecake from my snookumz - Brazilian Near Me - Addison, Texas

Hands down, my all time favorite restaurant. Coming here is such a treat! I live relatively close to the Beverly Hills, CA location, but I don't think it holds a candle to the original restaurant here in Dallas. The servers are SO professional, the ambiance is classy, the salad bar is fresh and extensive, and the meat is to DIE for. The pao de queijo (little bread puffs) that come out before the meal are exceptional and absolutely delectable! Those things are little puffs of heaven -- I crave them all the time! This restaurant is definitely worth it. You get a full experience, and it is just plain delicious. From some fresh cheese and smoked salmon and asparagus at the salad bar, to delicious rack of lamb, Parmesan crusted pork, and filet mignon, right down to the cheesecake and creme brulee and cappuccinos!! It is definitely worth the money, but make sure you bring your appetite! read more

Meat overload, meat overload!! The salad bar had some good items like manchego cheese, smoked salmon, crunchy asparagus etc etc. I went for lunch so i don't know if they add more variety for dinner, but the salad bar was ok. I suppose noone really comes for that. Where can I start about the unlimited servings of meat.. once you flip that card to green you will be quickly bombarded with choices of delicious meat. From top sirloin to the Picanha to the lamb. delicious. I barely touched any carbs to prevent from getting too full too quickly. The wait staff was superb and attentive. All very professional and aim to please. Lunch is about $35 each , water to drink, free valet when you arrive, however we decided to self-park to walk off the meat coma afters. Oh dessert is extra (unless its a special occasion, we were celebrating our anniversay and ordered the creme brulee expecting to pay additional but they comp'ed it!! ** Thank you, Thank you** ) , can't comment if there is an additional charge for drink/soda refills, as we only had water to drink. I did notice soda (coke) came in a tradional glass bottle when they served it to the people in a table nearby. So maybe there is a charge. -shrugs- not sure. Overall, I would come back for another special occasion. Definitely worth the $$$ even for lunch. 5 STARS for the flavorful meat and attentive staff. Thanks for a wonderful first time experience at Fogo de Chao. read more

This is definitely a meat lover's dream! The food was excellent and the service was great. It's not only a beautiful restaurant but the food is sooo good too. The wait staff is very attentive and tge desserts were delicious also. I would definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

Fogo de Chão - Brazilian Near Me - Addison, Texas

My wife took me here for my birthday and we enjoyed it very much. The inside is very bright compared to others we have been to. Others are a little darker and more intimate compared to this one. The service was very good. Everyone was there to take care of our needs and very quick to follow up on refills, cleaning off the table, fresh plates, etc. The buffet area has plenty of great side items, salads, fruit, etc. all fresh. Side note there have an ENTIRE BOWL OF BACON! I love bacon so this was worth some points alone lol. The different meats circled around and made the rounds like most brazillian steakhouses. I was a little disappointed that not all the options made to the corner where we were. We asked for some of them and they never made it. I also was disappointed there was no menu available with all the meat selections so we even knew what to expect. Other locations we have visited provide this so you can make sure you get to try the items you wanted. The majority of the meat selection was good there was only a couple options that were way overcooked and dry. I also made the mistake of assuming dessert was included with the meal like other places I have been too. I learned it is a separate item to purchase if you want it here so make sure to plan for that in your visit. Overall still a good visit and we got our monies worth. I gave it 4 stars as it is above average but not the best I have had. Solid place, solid option if your looking for this style of dinner. read more

I'm Argentinian and I LOVE meat!! They have great food and great vibe, A little expensive but it's all you can eat! Even though we prefer Texas the Brazil, Fogo is a great all you can eat resturant also! The deserts are also wonderful! read more

Had a great dinner here. Nice salad bar with smoked salmon and a mound of spicy brown sugar bacon. Ya. Nice cuts of steak and lamb. They brought around some pork ribs and I tried one. It was the only thing served I didn't like. Pass on the ribs. The service was incredible. read more

Great service! Food was great! Our first time! Belated Valentine Dinner! Caipirinha was perfect and delicious!

I love red meat. Medium rare beef is like a drug to me. Knowing this, you can surely predict that I am going to love this place. (Go read my review of Texas De Brazil for another great Churrascaria choice.) The service is top notch. The wait staff are all there to help you and are great. Tip #1: TELL THEM WHAT TYPE OF MEAT YOU LIKE. Don't be shy. If you want medium rare, tell them. If you want some more lamb, tell them. It makes all the difference. The salad bar is great. I love the mozzarella, the smoked salmon is awesome, and they have the best artichokes I have ever had. (Of course, I don't like artichokes, so that was pretty easy.) BUT, let's get to the meat! The meat is why you come to any Churrascaria. It's all about an endless flow of unbelievably tasty meats. The "House Special" is a cut of sirloin they call "Picahna". It is my fave, it is charred on one side with a nice layer of delicious fat on the edge. It is wonderful and rivals the flavor of any high dollar steakhouse cut. I love the garlic beef and filet as well. Fogo's garlic beef is the best in DFW. I'm not a big fan of the lamb or the white meats, but that's just personal taste. I will hardly ever get chicken or pork when I can get beef. The plantains are good and the potatoes are okay. The Creme Brulee was very good as well, which is typical for a nice restaurant. Now, I give this place 4 stars instead of 5. I'd really like to give them 4.5 stars. In my opinion, Texas De Brazil is the best Churrascaria in the DFW area and gets 5 stars, so I couldn't give Fogo the same. Texas De Brazil wins the duel for me because they also have rice and beans, plus they have awesome coupons for joining their e-mail club that make it a less expensive affair. I love Fogo and recommend it to anyone. Try this and TDB and decide for yourself which one is the best. I guarantee you won't go home hungry. read more

One of the premiere Brazilian steakhouses in the city of Dallas. It does carry a hefty price, but its all in what you receive. Countless types of met served to you off a sword by actual Brazilian gauchos. The salad bar is excellent offering everything from three kinds of lettuce to fancy and exotic vegetables, and fresh cuts of salami and prescuito. The various meats are fantastic, offering everything from lamb chops, pork chops, bacon wrapped chicken, sausage, ribs, sirloin, and fillets. Its a very unique and delicious place to experience at least once. read more

Fogo always top notch in every city I visit. Took my dad and 11 year old son for a guys meatfest. Both enjoyed the variety of meats and everyone found a favorite cut. Outstanding and highly attentive service but they didn't interupt or get in the way. My son even loved the fried polenta. Great! read more

God I love this place! Endless meat, always right there if you need it! Can't get any better than that! Service is always amazing! There is nothing I can say bad about this place, so I'll just finish now! Prepare to leave in a meat coma! read more

Fogo de Chão was the first, and is still the best. They've spread around the country now, but I've been going here semi-regularly since they opened this first Addison location. I've tried a few other churrascarias as well, and so far none of them have matched up. Rafain's is good, Texas de Brazil is not, but Fogo de Chão is king of them all. I go more often for lunch now, since $32.95 is easier to justify than whatever they're charging for dinner these days. The salad bar alone (aka "Market Table") is amazing and well worth what they charge for it (currently $15 for lunch), but with one exception, I've always gone for the full churrasco experience. This place also has some of the best crème brûlée I've ever had, but I've usually eaten so much meat and caramelized bananas by that point that I can't possibly enjoy dessert. read more

I've never been to this type of restaurant before. I really did not know what to expect. I was a bit anxious and excited. We were there on a Friday night. It was my boyfriend's birthday so I decided to treat him to a nice meat eaters restaraunt. I heard really good reviews about this place. I wasn't sure we could eat that much meat. However I was very very surprised at how much we ate. The meat is delicious. The filet mignon was amazing . They also had filet mignon wrapped in bacon that was absolutely heavenly. We decided to try some cocktails as well and those were pretty strong and yummy . Since it was his birthday of course you have to have dessert. However when they asked us if we wanted dessert there was no room for it. A nice gentleman kept insisting that we get dessert and even though we kept telling him we were absolutely full, he went out of his way and packed my boyfriend a surprise desert to go. And yes it was complimentary since it was his birthday. I strongly recommend to try this restaurant. The service was amazing, from the valley that greeted us to the waiters inside. Everyone was really really attentive and it showed that they cared about their customers. As far as pricing goes it's $50 a person. It is so worth it. Anything extra of course is charged to you such as drinks and I'm not sure about the salad bar. We are not really salad eaters. Therefore we jumped straight to the meat. They do have happy hour on Monday through Friday from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. I believe. I'm going to have to try that sometime. Although I will be missing out on the experience with all the meat. We will be back and this time it will not be for a special occasion. PS: let me not forget about the bread that they serve, the cheesy bread ....heavenly!!!!!! read more

My AMAZING friends threw my birthday dinner here this year and let me tell you they did not disappoint!!!! Everything from the brown sugar pepperd bacon on the salad bar to the garlic steak and everything in between was DELICIOUS. Iv been here a few times many many years ago and must say the service has gotten better (if thats even possible) everyone from the manager to the waitstaff to the hostesses were really really accommodating. This is by far my FAVORITE place to eat. read more

Fogo de Chão - Brazilian Near Me - Addison, Texas

We attended a company Christmas party/dinner here a few weeks ago and it was good. The salad bar alone was amazing! Very fresh and so many healthy options. I would come back for the salad bar. They sat about 30 of us in a section and the service was great! Everyone so nice and it seemed effortless. There are many options for your protein. So you need to know the order of what is being served so you know what to select. The meat was very salty and a few of the options all tasted the same. read more

Always wonderful. Great food. Good service. Sometimes they are slow serving the good stuff, like the filet and try to push the hot dogs etc instead. read more

This was my very first time coming to Fogo de Chao! Our waitress Sam was absolutely amazing! All of the food was delicious, I tried every choice of meat they brought to the table. We will definitely be coming back and will request Sam again read more
