We made reservations but arrived and had to wait about 15 minutes. Customer service was great! Be ready to spend more than just your regular outing fare. (for 2 people/adults $125-$215) depends on what you'll eat. Salad bar was nice,plantains were very addictive. Casual attire is best. My husband loved it so we will be going back. Different types of meat served, hot and fresh..a man's dream! read more

Best bday dinner ver! You have to try fillet mignon wrap w bacon and the cheese rolls! I saw heaven! And I'm not a meet person! Everything delicious read more

Fogo de Chão - Brazilian Near Me - Addison, Texas

If I can give NEGATIVE or ZERO stars, I would be more than happy to give my server and the manager NEGATIVE stars. I've been to different Fogo de Chao, but this one gave me the WORST experience. Servers were not attentive, had to wave at them very big for long time before we can get someone's attention, while 3 of them were standing at the side talking. When we had questions, the server and manager were not friendly to answer. I was so disappointed. If this was my first Fogo de Chao experience, I would NEVER go back. Food is important, but service is also very important because it affects the entire dining experience. The food was okay, up to their brand's standard. However, the papaya cream was not like any of the papaya cream I had in other Fogo de Chao (both uptown and Plano branch has better papaya cream the this Dallas location). I would go back to the other locations and would NEVER come back to this one. read more

I have enjoyed many dinners at Fogo de Chao, and this is the first one that was frankly a poor experience. We chose this restaurant because they offered a time we wanted, which was not available at the Fogo restaurant in Plano. We got to the restaurant 10 minutes before our reservation, only to find the foyer packed and very very very warm. Apparently the restaurant overbooked and there was an issue with their air conditioning. We waited 30 minutes beyond our reserved time before being seated, and then were placed at a table without even the red/green cards. We sat without being greeted for nearly 15 minutes, at which point I corralled a waiter to have the table properly set up. A customer service rep noticed I was not pleased and came to the table offering the excuse that it was Fathers Day. Frankly for a restaurant of this caliber and knowing my bill will be close to $100 per person, I expect much better. The food was good as always and our waiter was attentive, but the restaurant remained overly warm. If I want to go to Fogo, from now on it will be the location at Legacy West in Plano. The service there has always been as good as the food. read more

As always, amazing. The valet sprinted to receive my keys. The hostess was charming. Our waiter appeared instantly. Water and cheesy bread followed shortly. Our waiter Ignacio recommended a delicious Brazilian cocktail I'd never had but which was delightful. The salad bar was problematically piled with exotic delights (problematic only because it took up meat-eating space). And then, the meat. Always hot and flavorful, always offered with courtesy and sliced with precision. There is not a better place to eat meat or, really, to spend an evening. We topped it off with a delightful creme brûlée. The manager, Tony, even swung by to check on us and chat. I'd happily have him representing our country as a diplomat anywhere -- and man can he run a restaurant. Eat here. read more

I'm Brazilian and I was having lunch on Friday with coworkers and I asked to the server about filet mignon with cheese. He said that they didn't have abs I asked if We could prepare it for me. I also said that this combination is delicious and very famous/popular in Brazil. Every steak house in Brazil serve that!!! He looked at me and said that we would not change his menu for one person and that I was going to cheap places. He said that only $15 restaurant serve that. It was extremely rude and disrespectful. read more

I understand that Mother's Day is a busy day for most restaurants. But Fogo is a chain restaurant with the proper resources to be able to anticipate busy days especially based on the fact that people are getting vaccinated + feel safe inside restaurants again and that a lot of folks weren't able to celebrate last year. We had to wait 30 minutes past our reservation time. No "sorry for the long wait on Mother's Day even though you had reservations for just 5 people" or anything to our Mom from the hostess. And then when we were seated, we told the waiter that we wanted to start with meats right away. We sat for another 5-6 minutes before someone came with sides, another 5 minutes before we got a single piece of meat, and a few minutes after that, we had to ask a hostess for glasses of water when we had said all of this to the initial waiter that came by our table. Ok, fine, stuff like this happens but yay, time for a Brazilian steakhouse right? The food was awful. Cold, poorly seasoned, or contained just crazy amounts of gristle (how the heck do you cook ribs to be grey and dry, and then think it's ok to serve this to people?). As my wife and I were paying for our family's meal, the waiter attempted to say this in a joking manner (it was a cringe moment considering how bad the service was all day) says: "oh and by the way, they didn't seem to charge you for the Coke, so I'm gonna take this empty bottle away quickly before they notice, but it's on us." Wow, ha-ha, thanks for not charging me $4 for Coke with a $350 meal. Anyways, so disappointing. This was my first time at Fogo in several years (we switched to Texas De Brazil because the prices were better and you got like 85-90% of the way there as far quality is concerned). I had such vivid memories of Fogo, but things have changed in an unprecedented matter. Absolute terrible experience all around and I have no incentive to ever try and go back when the DFW area has so many solid options for Brazilian steakhouses. read more

the meat at Fogo is like heaven in my mouth. the house special garlic beef and the bottom sirloin knock my socks off! the service is great, i feel like Marie Antoinette with all the fuss and six clean plates, but it's definitely cool. lunch is cheaper than dinner time and you will likely stay full all day and night. oh, i just burped and got a second taste...it was yum! minus one star for no pepsi products. read more

It is a good restaurant, great even. But I like texas de Brazil slightly better. Otherwise it's a premium restaurant to dine at. But they do make their drinks very strong. read more

This Fogo is actually better than the one we have in Beverly Hills. Service was excellent, although I always find it odd that they serve pieces like the sirloin cap as premium cuts. The buffet area was better than the one we have in LA and the service was great. The wine selections were quite good too, and for reasonable prices considering where we were. read more

Fogo, Fogo, Fogo. Let's be clear, this has been my fav restuarant for years ( UP TO NOW ). The service for Valentine's day was horrible at best. I understand that's a busy day...( No Excuses, this was our 4th V-Day at Fogo and they were great). Seems like Fogo has gravitated to 85% female servers. (wrong move). We were seated late as expected, rushed to our seats. Received our first drink 30 minutes after we sat down. No timely refills, no clean plates offered, no table cleaning, wasn't offered dessert, we didn't have an assigned waiter, potatoes didn't come with our meal. We basically mooched off of our neighbors waitress, lol. MY wife's second drink was like waiting on a taxicab in New York while holding a (Black Lives Matter) sign but she smiled and keep it (probably to keep my temper under control). DRINK WAS DILUTED!!!!Waited 30 min to pay, 30 min to return with my cash and no thanks for coming. Disappointed and unsatisfied because our night was ruined.....I would still consider going back. I usually spend $200.00. $145.00 for food and drinks..taxes included. $40.00 tip and the rest on parking. WELL NOT THIS YEAR, lol. Let's just say I saved alot after this. My inside voice-‐---- over all this $hit sucked and I want my $ucking money back. Plus gas, plus my damn time. We $ucking had dessert from Jack in a box. 'D'uck Fogo until I cool off. read more

This is my second time, but came here by myself on my wonderful birthday. I came in on a reservation of one. I was pleasantly greeted right when I entered and got acquainted with the place right away. It's been a year since I've been here and they were pleased to explain what the dining process was. Got to my table and went the the market table (unlimited salad bar) got my items and sat down. Once seated I flipped my meat card over for some yummy meat!!! My sides (yummy bread!, mashed potatoes, and fried plantains) and wine came. The quality of the food whether it's meat, wine or the salad bar was great! The waiter- Bryan (sorry if misspelled) was great! He made my birthday more enjoyable and even got me 2 pieces of cakes just because he wanted to. It's people like this who we need to make one nice gesture to make our day!! Thank you so much for the great service fogo de Chao on Addison, Tx!!! You guys are great! Keep up the work! See you next time! :) read more

See all

Next best thing to sex. If you are a meat eater, you MUST eat here. It reminds me of some ancient kingdom where you are the king and slaves continually bring you the best meat you have ever put into your mouth. I honestly can't say enough about this place. Every time I set foot in a city with a Fogo I dine there.. Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, and now one if coming to Austin.. Thank God. The service is literally the best in the U.S. in my opinion. An army of servers watch you like a hawk and never, never let you suffer through a minute of a dirty plate, empty glass, or empty plate. This is the only buffet that I will gladly eat at. If I had to choose between Fogo and my testicles.. I would have to think about it... read more

The meat was awesome! If you only want red meat you could request to do so. Entire staff was attentive and friendly, really enjoyed my experience here at Fogo De Chao. Also enjoyed the new pay out system which made the process to pay and leave efficiently. read more

Had a wonderful dinner here with friends. The evening was great from the complementary valet too the abundant buffet style appetizer (dare I say bar),which was more like an island, to the perfectly seasoned meat offerings brought around on rotation! dining room had a very nice atmosphere to it. This is the closest I've have gotten to a real Brazilian steakhouse! read more

Their reservation process means nothing. The hostess even admitted this to me as we showed up 10 minutes early for a 7:30 reservation and were not seated for an hour at 8:25. I made her verbally confirm with me that my reservation means nothing. She did. Then she tried to justify that "walk-in's" are an hour from being seated while I am sitting at 45 minutes of waiting with a reservation. I really hate this place, but have to go once a year for a friends birthday. The salad bar needs signs to direct human flow, the reservation process needs revamped, the decor is dated. It feels like a CPA office from the 80's. Bottom line, if you want to have a timely meal and an honored reservation, DO NOT GO HERE. By the time I got to the table, I was angry and didn't get to enjoy my $50 meat fest. Save your time. Save your money. Go somewhere else. read more

Fogo de Chao is awesome if you can afford it! They have the best salad bar I have ever seen, with locks, fresh mozzerella, and giant asparagus. Usually I'm already full by the time they start bringing the meat around. Not a good place for vegetarians, even though the salad bar rules. read more

One of the best dining experiences we've ever had!! The meats were delicious as was the selection of salads, cheeses and fruits at the Marketplace. While we were eating they brought out fried polenta sticks, mashed potatoes and caramelized bananas which were to die for. The entire waitstaff was very pleasant and helpful, especially Montee!!! They do have complimentary valet parking or you can park yourself in the back. If I could we would give them 10 stars and we will definitely be back!! read more

I wish I could give this place 4 and a half stars !! But this will have to do. Service was amazing! The server was very attentive and would always come back to check on us ! In the side bar, I had got the smoked salmon which was way too salty. The only thing I did not like was the chicken wrapped in bacon, it was very dry. But all of the other meat choices were so delicious! How it works is that you have a card and red means you don't want meat and green means to keep em coming! So that way people aren't bothering you if you don't want anymore meat. Towards the end they give you a complimentary dessert if it's your anniversary or birthday :)! We got the creme brûlée which was very tasty! Would totally recommend and come back again for another occasion. read more

I give full stars for the experience. Over the years there dress code went out the window, and i find it remarkable that 200, 600 dollar dinners can have sport coats, ties, and shorts t-shirt and flip flops. Service is the best, food all you can eat meat fabulous, the salmon and cheese at the salad bar a must. I plan my eating habits prior to, so i can get the full amount of my buck. And not getting a after drink, nor that strawberry dessert you are crazy, you must have them. I won;t scream greatness, seeing how this experience is not limited anymore. Great date place or to try if haven't. read more

This place was great! The customer service was on point, they made sure to come and check on us and ask if they could help with anything. Food was amazing, I just wish they had more to offer at the salad bar. read more

my wife and i have been coming here for about 12 years. it's always been one of our favorites. we live close enough we can stop by and ask for dessert to go if we already have dinner at home. the guy who drives the "happy cart" around is a lot of fun and very friendly. ask for gran marnier "on fire". the meats are delicious. i usually skip the chicken. the ribeye i had last night was awesome. the beef ribs are great, but ya gotta ask for them. they have a big cutting board beneath them so they dont carry them around like the other meats. the Parmesan pork has always been one of my favorites. the salad bar is top notch with cured salmon and artichoke hearts and hearts of palms and salumi. service is terrific, and i've never had a bad experience. read more

I've been to many a Brazilian steakhouse, but this experience topped all the rest. Maybe because we had a Brazilian in our party? One of the 'minstrels of meat' men came around and was also Brazilian. Once he began conversing with our party and discovered where one of our guests was from, the whole service changed. We were offered only the best cuts of beef- no garlic beef or bacon wrapped anything. He brought us these small grilled balls of mozzarella fresh from the kitchen, twice. Each cut of meat he brought by the table came with a detailed explanation and recommendation of which piece to select. Papaya cream hit the table for dessert. Our party left very full and I really enjoyed the experience! I'm afraid it will not be the same with out my own Brazilian in tow :) read more

My son and I went there for a father/son night and it was good. The meat is excellent, but after they bring you your first round, they're slow to come back with the good stuff for the second round. Especially if you skip all the salads, etc, and go for just the meat. read more

Celebrating God's goodness and our abundant blessings with my friend Fred Robinson. We are enjoying a great meal, great service, over the top hospitality, and a experience that will echo in my thoughts for days to come. The restaurant manager my new friend, Rob is a warm and inviting human being; who shared the expertise of his supportive staff, Jay and Ignacio to turn a great dinner into a unforgettable spectacle of food and fun. Ya'll come and see for yourselves read more

I'm not going to explain the whole churrascaria concept because by now, it is nothing special, but this one is typical. It offers your usual prime meats that are a bit overrated, and your outrageous salad bar. The salad bar contains great things such as fresh mozzarella, artichoke hearts, fresh asparagus, and a lot more. The salad bar is probably my favorite part of the meal as there are about 40 gourmet items offered, but the meat is generally the center of the meal. All meats are up to par with a pretty good steakhouse, but if you are in the mood for a truly good steak, I wouldn't suggest this place as it does not specialize in any meats, just a lot of it. No meats really stand out here, but if you are craving a lot of good meat, come here with some dough and the intent to gorge yourself to near death. read more

This place is worth every penny. Ok, so we're in a recession/depression..who cares as long as there's unlimited meat coming at you in all directions? Came here for an early dinner before VDay to avoid the crowds. After getting seated, we headed towards the salad bar which was more like a distraction from the main course. It was a spectacular spread of cold cuts, bread, cheese, variety of salads, and veggies. The meat came almost immediately. Top sirloin, bottom sirloin, fillet mignon, fillet mignon wrapped in bacon, sausages,...don't make me go into detail. Did I mention the extras? Yup, they bring you cheese bread, fried bananas, mashed potatoes, and god knows what else... So I can now summarize my experience: PROS: Meat, a seemingly never ending flow of it. Attentive staff, always refilling glasses and bringing more MEAT. Eating there is like eating lunch and dinner combined. CONS I only have one stomach. And it's a little one. By the way, I'm already planning my next visit. read more

A few days after I left this review, the manager at the Addison restaurant - Tony - contacted me, apologized and said he would send out gift cards as a way of saying they were sorry for the lack of communication and hoped I would give them another chance and I assured him I would. I waited a few weeks and no gift cards came. Since then I have contacted them two more times asking if I should expect the gift cards or if the offer had been rescinded. The first time, I got a response that the gift cards would be mailed after 2/21/2018. The cards never came so I asked again. This time they just ignored me completely. Update: Or so I thought. 11 hours after I posted this, I received a fedex package with a gift card. No, this review had nothing to do with it - just a bizarre coincidence. Anyway, I've increased my rating because they did follow through even though it took them a LONG time. read more

Because no star isn't an option. Uber over to find out they aren't open despite the hours listed online. Texas de Brazil was a short walk away thankfully. read more

Went to Dallas from OK specifically to eat here. Was able to make a Thursday evening reservation using the Open Table app. They do have complimentary valet parking which I recommend using as most of the parking around the restaurant are reserved & you can get towed. So if you chose not to valet, proceed with caution and read posted signs. You could dress business casual up to dressy here. Be sure to check out the meat skewers around the open flame in the front entry when you enter. You can see it from the outside and the inside. Cool touch. Had 2 in our party, was immediately greeted and seated. Waiter showed up, greeted us and explained the process as it was our 1st time and took our drink order and turned us loose on the salad bar or Market Place as it is called here. There are no menus to view because you're here to eat as much meat as you can handle, right? Each diner has a round card. One side is red, one is green. When you are ready to start the meat part of your meat, turn that card over to green, grab the tongs at your plate and in seconds, meat arrives. The tongs are for you to grab the meat that is sliced by 42 different types of salads, cheeses, bread, soup, salmon. This is more than a salad bar. Oh, and you can go back. I had an apple salad that reminded me of waldorf salad. Forbidden black rice with mangos, 3 or 4 different cheeses, and so many different and delicious things that I can't remember anything but that my mouth was happy. Once you turn that card from red to green, prepare to be quietly and politely approached by men (one at a time) with meat on iron tridents and a sharp knife to ask if you want what they have to offer. If it's yes, he will begin to carve if a slab of meat or will slide a piece of meat if that was how it was prepared. It was about every two minutes it was man, meat. You have tenderloins, sirloins, filet, ribs as well as chicken, lamb, pork, pork loin, sausages. When you need a breather, turn your card back to red. You can start over at anytime, just go green. Watching the gouchos(?) with their metal tridents and sharp knives move around the dining room from table to table was like a ballet. They were experienced, no one ran into anyone in the busy dining room. It was beautiful to watch as I stuffed my face with meat. That may be the real magic of Fogo's. Watching the meat appear and be served. We had a lovely assistant server who kept our tea full, brought us a plate of garlic mashed potatoes, fried polenta that resembled French fries and were delicious. Pao de Queijo which was rolls made of yucca flower and parmesan cheese. Super delicious! After the fact, I discovered that there were sauces we could of had with out meats, so next time for us, but don't your forget. Oh, and did I forget to mention the caramelized bananas? Also delicious and not too sweet. I am assuming the manager went by each table to see how things were going and if anyone needed anything. If you did, off he went to have someone bring it to you. There is a meat list on your table so you can see what you've had or haven't had. When the manager heard that hubby was missing 3 meats, he got them sent over pronto. No one waits and gets hungry here. We were there for almost 1 1/2 hours, but it didn't seem like it. Oh, and our waiter who we met at the beginning of the meal? He brought us the check and was the cashier. We saw him 2 times, the "assistant" waitress we saw several times and she explained what things were as she served them. And we saw at least 10 different "goucho's" with meat at our table. Glad we experienced it and if I lived near a Fogo, I would take out of town guests there for the experience. read more

We usually go to Texas de Brazil but we were in the area and we decided to try Fogo , Service was great however the meat had a weird taste , about 1 hour later we all weren't feeling well , stomach ache and sharp abdominal pain , one of my friends was vomiting all night read more

MEAT!!! ALL YOU CAN EAT MEAT!!! When I used to work in Addison and knew we had a business dinner here, I would eat one powerbar in the morning to hold me over until dinner. Don't make the mistake of loading up on the salad, sides or bread. It's pure meat here and great quality brazilian style skewered cooked meat. The best meats: 1. Bacon wrapped filet mignon 2. leg of lamb 3. sausages. It's pretty unbelievable read more

This place was not as amazing as I was hoping, and definitely NOT worth the price! The salad bar wasn't very impressive. It seemed pretty basic to me but they just added a few fancy items like prosciutto, smoked salmon, a huge wheel of parmigiano-reggiano. They don't have anything other than salad. It would be nice if they had soup or something else at the salad bar. The meats were ok. i love the filet migon but some of the other meat was really dry or tough. The parmesan crusted pork was extremely dry and there was something else I chose that had way too much fat on it. The sides were nothing special either. The mashed potatoes looked cheap with the bright orange shredded cheddar on top and a few chives. I thought they might taste good, but they were a bit sour tasting. The other sides were ok but also not great. Everything was over priced, even our iced tea. It was about $3 for a glass of tea. It was just normal tea, nothing special. The customer service was good but maybe a bit too much. I really don't need someone to pull my seat out and slide it under me everytime I get up and walk back to my seat. It's nice when I first come in but not every time I leave and come back to the seat. A manager asked us 6 or 7 times if everything was good during the time we were there and it was always right after we took a bite of something so we could only nod. For dessert we ordered the papaya cream. It was pretty good but also not worth the price. It's basically a papaya milkshake in a fancy glass. So in the end we paid over $100 (nearly $150 with tips). A buffet of meat is an awesome thing, but they need to lower the prices. Really. read more

Before you read anything else, know this: the $50 is COMPLETELY worth it! I've come here on couple of occasions- anniversary with my guy and Father's Day! The last year they held Taste of Addison, my bf and I tried their sample plate and also received two discount tickets to Fogo. We got excited and went to go try it out! Wow, what a wonderful experience! The salad bar is like the kind of salad bar that would exist in heaven so I think it's worth the $35 dollars if you don't eat meat. But it you do eat meat, this is also the meat eater's heaven because it's all you can eat!!! My favorite from the meat menu- filet mignon, top sirloin, and flank. One thing you should realize is they use A LOT of salt that can literally turn you into a pillar of salt. This is the "Brazilian" part of the "Brazilian steakhouse". This is how they cook their meat. However, if you do not eat the outside, it's less salty, so look out for that. I brought my dad and the whole family in for Father's Day and he truly loved it. He thinks it's probably the best restaurant in Dallas and didn't mind the $50 at all. His only problem was how loud it was in the restaurant. And I also think there's something to be said about that. It's not one of those restaurants where you can have a quiet and romantic dinner with your loved one. The servers are constantly walking around you and speaking to you and what not. It's loud because everyone is getting up and sitting down from the salad bar. Honestly it's pretty chaotic, but there's no way around this. The upside is that you get small portions of always hot steak (YAY no more steak that has gone cold in 5 minutes) and an unlimited amount of it. On the other hand, I like how comfortable the atmosphere is. It's almost casual. No need for super fanciness that you feel pressured to put forward in other steakhouses. The atmosphere is casual and invites you to pig out. Service is confusing. You obviously have more than one server but honestly, you don't really have a designated waiter. I ended up having to flag down different waiters all the time. But they don't seem to mind it so I don't mind it either! Although the team-serving thing is slightly different from other restaurants, all of them have smiling faces and are very polite. On the way out from our Father's Day dinner, our waiter shook hands with my dad, politely said thank you, then handed him a discount of "buy one get one" deal for next time- super cool. So anyway, amazing place that you MUST try if you are a meat lover. Should not visit more than once a year, you WILL gain weight. Also, remember to wear pants where you have a little room in the stomach area. Complimentary valet and great place to hold parties/dinners because guests will be entertained on their own from all the different kinds of meat! read more

Brandon was amazing! His drinks are amazing! Great service. My boyfriend and I are usual customers for dinner but happy hour is where its at! Best service thus far! Go see Brandon at the bar! Thank you Fogo! read more

Settings: It was our first time in Fogo De Chao, and frankly we were not impressed at all. The setting is more like a banquet style than an upscale restaurant setting. Dining area spread out in every directions with a small salad bar in the middle which creates a long line to get salad in busy hour. We saw Managers were asking people to go back to their seat and come back later when line is less crowded! Really? In America?? Fine dining??? Salad Bar: Salad bar selection offers nothing special, more like a cheap all you can eat buffet types if we compare other Brazilian restaurants around. There are two small tables next to the salad bar, one with soup and other filler, and another one with bread and cold roast beef, yay more filler. Meat: Meat selections and the quality were very good. Filet mignon, New York strip, rib eyes were very flavorful and delicious. Although lamb meat were in the far planet, rarely showed up on our table. Meat circulation were not very fluid not sure because we were little early (6:30 pm) but the restaurant was fully pact with god loving people (couple large church group). We did not see Ribs, or other types of meats until we were ready to leave. Sides: Fried Banana-eh, fried polenta very good, popover okay, and mashed potatoes are decoration for the table! Service: So many people are on the floors, lack of coordination made service very inefficient. Service could be lot better if there were coordination with managers and the service person on the floor. I noticed that there were more service oriented people on the floor than meat servers, it should be other way around. I am not a goldilocks, my expectation was high for the price I paid for my dinner. And Fogo De Chao failed to provide exceptional service as a fine dining churrasco. And did not meet my expectations. read more

I went in with a group of friends for a nice night out. I was very disappointed. The whole experience was very lack luster. The food was ok. I enjoyed the various meats but the salad bar which I had heard was amazing was very average. The real reason this place gets 2 stars is because of its 1 star service. Our waiter who gave no introduction or instruction on how the place worked, was not personable. We were sitting for a while wondering exactly what to do. You would think at a place with 50$ a person plus our wine and deserts $$$$ you would get great service but that was not the case. It all made sense when I saw the 18 percent included gratuity on the bill. He obviously new we had to tip so why go out of your way. I see stuff like this all too often these days and the food does not make it worth returning. read more

Great place as I was expecting after going to insanely bad Boi Na Braza Churrascaria. Went there for lunch and good thing they have same menu for lunch there, just a bit less time to try it all than dinner. Out of 13 or 15 different meats, maybe a couple I did not like which is really inline with my expectations. Great cheeseballs and some sort of veggie paste. Awesome lemonade, excellent service. As I said, most meats are very nicely prepared - not too salty, not too vinegary. I only wish they had some grilled fish and maybe grilled pineapple - few churrascarias in CA have that. Other than that, i'd return here again with pleasure, this place along with Agoura Churrascaria in Irvine, CA really set the standard for Brazilian steakhouse. read more

Always love coming here. Sometimes it can get a little busy though and parking seems to be a bit difficult. A bit pricey as well, but sign up for their email distribution and you'll receive specials from time to time. read more

I've been to Rafain and Texas de Brazil, and finally decided to try this "creme de la creme" of Brazilian steakhouses when they were featured during 2010 Restaurant Week. Let me just say: What a treat! First off, we were greeted warmly and seated promptly (at a fantastic table perfect for a couple on a date) when we arrived. The waiter approached our table and when he cheerfully asked if we were there for Restaurant Week, we reluctantly answered yes, preparing to be treated like plebians who crawled in for the free stuff. But it was not like that at all! He and the whole staff all served us as if we were royalty. I've heard that it is this stellar service that sets Fogo a cut (heh) above its imitators, and I now have experienced the truth of that sentiment. Of course, the food was all divine as well, but I think that's a given. It was really the service that so impressed me here. Being treated like a princess and receiving the best meal I've had in a long time ensured that I will definitely be returning to Fogo. Oh also, I am a creme brulee FIEND and when I saw that it was one of the choices of included dessert I, I had to try it. It was seriously one of the best brulees I have ever eaten; honestly it was comparable to one I had at a French cafe in the heart of New Orleans. I go fogo! You go fogo! We all should go fogo! read more
