I've been here several times but my resent visit on 6/10/17 was terrible. We were a party of 6 celebrating Father's Day and couldn't be more disappointed. They restaurant was dirty and one of our waitresses were very rude. Asking for another drink was like asking for the world. If we're paying almost $50 a person you would expect the service to be great but it wasn't. I'm so disappointed with Fogo De Chao. We will take our business to Texas De Brazil from now on. read more

Service was REALLY good but I wish I could say same about food. We made reservations Originally for 1:30 but changed to 1 pm. We got there and I guess they forgot to change it so we waited for a table.... Maybe because the lunch service ends at 2 pm but we got all dried out or bad meats....everything that came to us seemed to be the last morsels left and scraps of whatever was left over.... We moved here from Los Angeles and have been dining at their location there (which is night and day). We wanted to throw my husbands 40th here next month but since our experience we decided to change venue. I really wished we loved this location but we don't. But again, it could be because we went on the tail end of lunch.... We told them we came for our 8 year anniversary and they surprised us with a dessert to go. We brought our two boys, 4 and 7 and it was very kid friendly. We asked for rice and they had some (very good too). Although crowded, the staff was very attentive and we appreciated that! 5 star for service! 2 for food read more

in 15 or so years coming here I have never been disappointed. Superb food and service. It's worth the price.

I really enjoy going here for a nice dinner. The salad bar is much better than Texas de Brazil. They also offer some great wines by the glass and who doesn't love their little cheese puffs? My favorite cut of meat is the Garlic Steak! I also like the Lamb Chops with Mint Jelly! The only complaint I have is that I like my steak cooked medium rare so I always have to special order it and wait for a while till I get served but on the other hand it's a great service that they are willing to do that for me. If I want a perfectly cooked steak, I prefer going some place else. read more

Best steakhouse out! The prices SEEM pricey, but if you realize what you get for your money; You'll know that this is the best bang for your buck anywhere! AND the food was amazing!! I came here on vacation with my family, & we heard about this Brazilian Steakhouse & wanted a nice, classy dinner, so we came here. It just so happens that the night we came here I was VERY, & I do mean VERY underdressed to such a classy restaurant, yet thankfully I was treated just as well as the other diners very well dressed. BIG POINTS to this steakhouse for that! Most places they would not let you in under dressed, so I'm thankful for the exception. The all you can eat meat deal is the best! You have an array of steak ranging from beef (top sirloin, rib eye, ribs) to chicken & lamb! They also have an all you can eat bar where you can get soup, salad, cheese, bread, candied maple bacon, fruits, etc. Oh man, I came in there hungry & left there so full I wanted to roll over and call it quits on life LOL! The food was so good I just couldn't stop eating!! Best damn steak house I've ate at in a long time, & definitely a 5 Star experience here! P.S. The manager on duty that night is from Hawaii! It's nice to see some locals in the mainland! He was so friendly & even gave us a shaka haha. Great service! Nothing short of 5 star! read more

My boyfriend surprised me & took me here. We had no idea what was in store for us. Lol. From the moment we walked in & until we left it was absolutely amazing. They sat us at our table, pulling out both of our chairs. I can't remember our waitress name but she took very good care of us. Letting us now how it all worked. We did the all you can eat meat & salad bar. It's $50 each. But it's very reasonable because you can eat as much as you want & the meats are such good quality! Each meat we had was so full of flavor. They has these cheese rolls also & they were heavenly. The staff is so nice here & atmosphere is great also. It was a different dining experience but a great one. We will definitely be back! read more

I've been going to Villas Grill in Irving for a couple of years now. They are much less expensive than Fogo de Chao and I was reminded why when I stopped by this Fogo for lunch a few weeks ago. The salad bar is just huge in comparison, with tons of choices; chese, bacon, asparagus and so much more. There is also a much larger selection of meats coming around, and in most cases tastier than it's counterpart at Villas. The meats also come around much quicker at Fogo. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike Villas at all, and I will continue to dine there frequently, but my point is that you really do get what you pay for when you make the splurge for Fogo. Lunch was fifty bucks. I can't afford to do that very often. read more

Been driving past this place for years and finally trying it out. We have never dine at a Brazilian steakhouse before so this is a first. The decor is very warm and classy. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and seated promptly. Our server was very professional, attentive without hovering. We started with the salad bar, there are some nice & quality selections. My favorite is the smoked salmon. As soon as we are done with our salad, clean plates were set for us and we are ready for the meat. As soon as we flipped the card over to green we were almost immediately swamped by gauchos offering all different kind of meats. We enjoyed everything we tried including all cuts of beef. legs of lamb and rack of lamb. They are all very juicy, tender and flavorful. My absolute favorite is the chicken leg. It was the best tasting, juicy chicken I ever had! We don't eat pork so can't comment on the sausage or cuts of pork. The gauchos seemed to remember what we like and if they don't happened to have the type of meat we want they will send the gaucho who does. This is basically buffet brought to your table. We learnt to flip the card over to red quickly. We ended our meal with the papaya cream and coffee. The papaya cream is basically papaya blended with vanilla ice cream. It was nice but nothing to rave about. Coffee is nice and strong. This is definitely a pricey dinner but I guess you get what you pay for. Will probably come back and splurge for special occasions. read more

cheesy bread, cheesy bread, cheesy bread. they are awesome!!!! also, the fillet mignon wrapped in bacon is heavenly. save room for dessert. i know that's tough. but their tres leches and creme brulee and papaya cream are great. read more

Death by meat. If you've never been, they essentially keep bringing you skewers of assorted meat until you say Uncle. They start with a salad bar and then add mashed potatoes, fried plantains and rolls to your table. But aha! Do not be fooled! These are designed to thwart your meat consuming abilities. Another tip- they always start out with the lesser meats(chicken wing, bacon wrapped chicken, etc)- again, don't be fooled! The filet, roast, lamb, sirloin- they are all coming. And for the volume the quality is surprisingly good . At some point if you have reached a certain level of carnivorous chaos, the better meats will come less frequently and a manager will come over to check on you. That's when you've won! But don't fret, they'll keep serving you as long as your buttons stay on. Decent wine list and the service was good. All joking aside, it's a fun time and they serve quality product. It's around $50 a person but I think that's a decent value. read more

Back to that half star you go, Fogo. My lunch visit with you was pleasant and memorable. I found a couple of things on your cold/hot bar that deserves mention: loved the beet/squash salad and the coconut haddock was very creamy, and thank you for offering roasted garlic and zucchini. Can't go wrong with the beef ribs and leg of lamb; your cheesebread popovers are so darned addicting that I couldn't stop myself from eating them, cold or not. I even liked the filet mignon (not my usual cut of beef) on this latest visit. The garlic beef (my usual fave) needs a little more garlic and I think the house picanha could use more flavoring. My usual complaints are that the chicken and the parmesan pork were dry during our visit. The fried bananas of course are the bomb, but I do wish you'd offer more warm desserts. Thank you for sating my Primal cravings. read more

I've been predicting the end of steak, but Addison steakhouses are proof to the contrary. My mother goes for the fried, cheese-stuffed bread that comes out first if that says anything about the health-rating. The salad bar has all the ingredients for a gourmet, five-star salad, and the presentation is elegant. The meat, which comes in too many cuts and varieties to name, is delivered on spits by servers dressed in gaucho-style garb in a constant stream that can only be cut off by your turning over a card with red and green sides. Never before has gluttony been dressed up so well. But the vice is mitigated by the fact that it's a novelty sort of meal like Benihana, which simply isn't or shouldn't be indulged in on a regular basis. Rarely is such quantity matched with quality, but they do it here. read more

it's Fogo de Chao - what's not to love! just understand the disk/colors and don't be afraid to ask the staff for more meat or a certain kind of meat - for the price you deserve to get what you want! read more

Valentine's dinner with my baby was speac-tab-u-Lois...she loved it...so I'm happy

I loooove meat. Love, love, love juicy, pink in the middle, tender, succulent, melt in your mouth meat. Filet, bacon-wrapped filet, top sirloin, bottom sirloin, lamb, their special cut, it was all delicious. My plate was bloody from all the meat, a little daunting to look at but like I might have said before, I love meat. Salad bar was good, sides were whatever, rolls were tasty. Service was excellent; we had 8 people in our party for my little brother's birthday and they did a fantastic job making sure drinks were re-filled, bread and sides were replenished, plates were swapped efficiently. I would only go here for special occasions because of the price alone, and I would probably need to be rolled out of here if I went too often. read more

This place is surely to please. Poppie and I went on one of our anniversaries and it was the first time. I must admit that this is some kind of eating. The salad bar (I'm a biggie on salads) was crazy with all knids of greens, seafood, fruits, meats and toppings. After learning the card trick we caught on fast and so did our stomach. If Brazillians eat this way, I'm am so happy for my health sake that I don't live in that country. (lol) In the long run we have made Fogo de Chao one of our special places for our anniversaries... read more

Racial Discrimination?...you be the judge. This is a grievance my father wrote to speak about the service we received for my 35th birthday celebration at Fogo de Chão. Also, keep in mind that this was my Father's first and I'm sure last experience with this restaurant. "I rarely complain about service in restaurants today because most of my experience has been bad food or bad service if not both so I rarely go out. This just happened to be my daughters 35th birthday. She initially suggested Texas de Brazil in Uptown but they didn't open til 5. She then decided on your restaurant. I made the reservation for 1:30 for the Dallas location (on McKinney) expecting to go to the 'Dallas' location but my reminder prompted me to the Addison location. I then called my daughter to make her aware of the change. I got there at 1;30 a few minutes ahead of my daughter. I was greeted by the hostess who confirmed my reservation. I told her my daughter would be arriving shortly and she said that would be no problem I could have a seat. I went to the bar less than 5 feet from the hostess. I sat there waiting for a bartender to come so I could have a drink while waiting for my daughter. While sitting there I watched several employees, some of which were management walk by but no one offered to serve me. One of the wait staff came behind the bar for a minute and engaged me with a little sports small talk but did not offer to serve me. After he left I then looked behind me at the hostess who was completely engrossed in whatever was going on with her cell phone. I turned again and looked in the dining area and saw what appeared to be managers in the area but none looked toward the bar. I then turned back to the hostess who was still head down in her phone and asked if a bartender was available. She immediately went to one of the managers that had been standing in full view of me the whole time and he came to serve me. Granted that wasn't the most egregious thing that happened in your restaurant but I assure you it gets worse. As a sixty year old African American man I'm acutely aware of the subtle differences in the way I'm treated but this particular incident was over the top. We were seated at the table closest to the kitchen (which is another story for another time because I'm trying to understand every time I go out I get seated at the kitchen! But I digress... One server in particular would walk by our table as fast as he could to make sure we weren't the first to receive meet from the full skewers he was carrying. In fact he would go to the table at the far end of the restaurant and make sure everyone received meat from his skewer before he would come back toward our direction. That's not the worst of it. When he would come back toward the kitchen he would not look our way. It's easy to see at this point this could all be no more than conjecture on my part but here comes the good part. He came out with a skewer of bacon wrapped filet mignon. My daughter said I want some. Again, he goes to the end of the restaurant to make sure 'others' are served. On his way back to the kitchen I notice he has his head down as he hastily approaches our table but instead of taking the usual path to the kitchen he attempts to take a path as to avoid us. I stop him. I said my daughter would like the bacon wrapped filet mignon. He comes back around to our table. There were 3 filet's on the skewers. The better looking filet's were at the bottom which I felt was perfect because she would really enjoy one. Instead the carver takes his knife, 'cuts' the smallest filet from the 'top' o the skewer, pulls it from around the skewer & drops it in my daughters plate. I wish I were making this up but me and my daughter stared at each other in shock for what seemed like an eternity until she saw the disgust and anger as my countenance changed. I didn't want to ruin the moment for her so I let it pass. Needless to say dinner & the moment was over. As a business owner myself for over 25 years I know that your reputation is paramount to your success. Although I'm not on Facebook my daughter is. I can only hope that she approaches this matter with the same amount of discretion that I have. I sincerely hope that you will take this matter seriously and give it your immediate attention" read more

i love meat! haha but sadly i was expecting more from this place. and maybe thats my fault. but ive only had one other brazillian place to compare it to. and it was 20$ less and much better options meat and side wise! but lets get to the merits. they allow reservations. and its a pretty big place. the set up is great the staff is persistent the salad bar is plenty. and its a pretty clean place haha. the meat options were enough variety and cooked well i dont like being bombarded by several men handling meat HAHAHAH that sounds really bad. but lets have a better rotation please! i did not like the 2 meats that had the Parmesan on them. i had to spit it out immediately and secretly add it to my friends plate. it was horrid. the chicken is of course dry here. the sides to this place was a lot but the options all lacked flavor i wished it was better. haha. id come back if i had to but im not going to lose sleep over it. read more

Ok, I give only 3 stars. Here are the reasons: 1. if you go to the website says - feijoada bar!!!! First liar!!! Being a brazillian if you say feijoada bar, I would expect feijoada bar and not, under cooked rice, under cooked beans, tough meat inside. Basically is just beans with tough meat and under cooked rice! Please update your website to reflect what you have it!!! 2. The prices online does not reflect how much it cost. They haven't change the website for who knows for how long! 3. The pineapple deserts are served in all the other churrascarias! 4. For that price I would rather go to the other churrascaria with a better hot plate and the desert included. For that reason, I'm not coming back to this location! I had fogo de chao back in SP and was great! read more

The best service I've gotten from any of the restaurants in Dallas. Meats are a good choice here, and also the salad bar is really something different and awesome because of the wide variety of choices. The service like I've stated before, is impeccable and I highly recommend this Brazilian churassca if you love either meat of veggies because of the different things that come out with your meal such as fried bananas to grilled block of cheese and the salad bar that could accommodate any vegetarians. But on an realistic note this is a Brazilian meat buffet so I would be more considerate to vegetarians when selecting a good choice for dining, however, there is the wide selection of vegetables at the salad bar so you might want to be selfish on one night and just go with Fogo de Chao!! :D read more

Our family went there last night for my wife's birthday. Let's just say, the experience was less than satisfactory. We go to this restaurant quite often, but this time, we felt the staff's treatment were extremely unpleasant. The meat servers are in such a rush to cut you a piece of meat, that they don't give you a chance to ask if you prefer your meat well done, medium or rare. I prefer my meat medium rare, but all night, I got burnt meat. Believe me, I know meats.. I grew up in Argentina . Also, they always bring you the lower quality meats, such as the chicken and sausages first. You ALWAYS have to ask the servers for the ribeyes and filet mignon. I asked for ribs, and the server stared at me and said "no", and quickly turned around and walked away. We were seating at out table for 40 minutes, and our waiter and staff began to give us looks; that look as to get up and get out if you are done, so they can turn the table over. During those 40 minutes, our waiter DID NOT come to our table once and asked us if we needed anything. Could it be because we were not consuming alcohol, and our check would not be as high, therefore a smaller tip??? Most likely yes. 20 minutes later I asked for my check from our waiter. With a serious face, he asked "desserts"? I said " no thanks". He did not say one word and quickly turned around and left. I expected to hear, at least, "ok" or " I'll be back with your check", or anything...not just walk away. Yep, that's what we got for 50 dollars per person meal. There are plenty of other options for that kind of money; including another Brazilian churrascaria restaurant Texas de Brazil, which is pretty much the same for less money. We will begin to go to this one instead. As for Fogo de Chao, WE WILL NEVER EVER GO BACK. read more

This place is amazing, the entire experience was perfect. The food was amazing, literally everything we ordered was perfect. The drinks were DELICIOUS! The bartender Brandon was great, so friendly and professional and he makes the BEST drinks I ever had. So highly recommended!! As for the manager, filipe was so Awesome..he made us feel so comfortable and got us anything we need. Service Is just above and beyond. The best drink by far was the tease read more

as good as it gets. srsly.we had THEE best server in dallas. all the fellows wore gauchos which i thought was cute. very professional and EXTREMELY prompt. the manager visited our table 3 times that evening. the pao de quiejo was amazing. if it sat out for more than 5 minutes it was quickly replaced for something fresher. green is go and red is stop serving me for now, lol. the salad bad was yumm as well...but like others before me, tread lightly! you came for the meats folks, not rabbit food. it comes with a couple side dishes like fried plantains, polenta, and something else that im sure was good, but was to busy consuming meats to even notice. LOVE THIS PLACE! best $450 i ever spent. read more

I really like Fogo de Chao. The food is wonderful, nice atmostphere, great service. My only problem is that my colon just can't take that much meat anymore. I guess Im gettin old. read more

Be prepared to eat...a lot! I would pay the plate fee just for the mashed potatoes alone. You absolutely cannot go wrong here. If you aren't impressed with a meat, flip your button and a new option will appear. Although the salad bar is beautifully arranged, skip it! Do you really want lettuce to take up prime real estate where delicious cuts of meat should be temporarily residing? Didn't think so... read more

I came here jan 18 with my boyfriend for our 4 year anniversary and It was delicious. Even though they sat us right next to the plates and waiters. I mean. We're only 19 years old so I didn't expect them to treat us as special as if we in our 30s or something but my bf asked for some sour cream to im guessing the manager (he had a blue button up ) and he was happy to get it for us and offered the condensed milk. Which was delicious never tried it with condensed milk. Over all the food was yummy and great staff that attended us. Experience here would be four stars read more

Nice sport bar and wonderful service. I love their buffalo wings so good. I have been here 6 times already and every time is always good I will keep coming back here read more

Great food. It feels endless at times! It's all cooked to perfection. The staff and management is fantastic. Very quick and attentive. Can't beat this place! read more

The food is great, and you never leave hungry. Although, I didn't hear a server tell me to get the prongs to pull a piece of meat, he repeated it twice and the 3rd time he was very snappy with me. I hate repeating myself too, but in the service industry, with a large loud group talking, a little patience would be better. My wine was also forgotten and when I asked for it again, I received it shortly before our bill, leaving no time to sip a savor. Minor things to an, otherwise, pleasant experience. read more

This place used to be great, but the last two visits have left us highly disappointed. The meat wasn't as good (still on par with other Brazilian steak houses, but no where outstanding like it had been 5-10 years ago.) The salad bar was still pretty good. However, the 2 star rating is for the abysmal parking situation. Apparently they are in a war with their neighbors for parking spaces and have almost NO non-valet parking left. Although "complementary", it is unreasonable to reserve half the parking lot for valet parking, especially during lunch. I utterly refuse to tip someone to do something that I am capable of doing myself (plus, I see no need to trust my car to anyone that I don't have to.) As a result, I won't be going back - it is NOT good enough to have to spend 15 minutes looking for a space to park. read more

Marcos Bassi would be proud of this place. One of the premiere churrascarias known to man. I dare say, this Dallas location is better than the two Fogos I've been to in Sao Paulo (Moema & Vila Olympia). Call me crazy. What are they feeding the cows in Texas? I was in Dallas for business this past weekend and Fogo is always on the top of my list when in town. As always, the narcotic effects of gorging on the meats served at this establishment about had me in a coma. The service was top notch. Almost too good. Servers literally standing at a distance watching your every move. If you want a certain cut of meat well done? Medium rare or bloody as hell? Just ask any Gaucho. You'll have it on your plate in mere seconds. Way over the top. What impressed me with this particular visit is the manager himself coming by to replace the side dishes on our table (that have been sitting out for a while) with new ones even though we've only eaten a couple of bites. That never happened before. I highly recommend the aged cheeses and palmito at the salad bar, and fresh parmesan or sun-dried tomatoes to go with your cut of ribeye. It doesn't get much better. The price may be stiff to some, but well worth it. Tip them well. They deserve it. read more

Honestly, for a middle class working citizen, I feel this place is over hyped. I probably can't afford to come here more than once every few years, so I expected to be blown away. I just wasn't. They don't keep track of what tables have been served which meats, so prepare to be asked for the same thing multiple times in a row. However, despite the disappointments, the food was very good and the experience is unique. It's definitely a place for the rich and not for people like me. read more

Poor service, managed poorly. Made reservations and when we arrived on time, we still had to wait. Poor selection of meat

I went to this place in April 2016 for the first time here in Texas and it was really good, I spent $200 that time with no regrets but my second experience was s nightmare. The staff don't listen to you, the picanha was burnt!!! They were serving burnt meat, black like a charcoal!!! I decided to get feijoada, horrible, no taste! I don't know who's the chef in that place but I bet you he's not Brazilian! Unfortunately it was my last time showing up. The music still good the salad bar still good but if you're craving the best meats definitely go to Texas de Brazil. I'm so disappointed. It was $135 that I could make my own churrasco and save some money. I'm Brazilian, I'm a chef and a good churrasqueiro, so I'm sorry if it sounds picky but that feijoada it's not feijoada and you guys ain't no good churrasqueiros. Ps: there's a Brazilian gaúcho serving the maminha which was amazing, he was educated and working there for 7 years he's a expert in attendance! My first time he did an amazing job serving me, not different today. Thanks man! read more

back when we lived in miami.. my fiancee and i would hit up brazilian churrascarias pretty regularly.. now that i'm texas sized and trying to slim down.. we decided to go to fogo de chao for the salad bar only.. the meat still smells intoxicating.. but we both engorged ourselved on the salad bar.. it's a bit pricy just for the salad bar.. but i'm sure this place deserves 5 stars if i had meat.. read more

What can I say, the service and food are always what would be expected in this type of establishment. Everything on the menu is top shelf. The meat is amazing watching the fire pit and the smell of the meat cooking as you enter gives you the meat craving. Never a disappointment always perfect food and exceptional service from the valet to the hostess as you leave. Always a great dining experience. read more

Walk in on a Wednesday for a 2:00pm reservation, by the time the usher made it to the front desk it was 2:05 and said "We're closed and unable to seat you, we have no more meats out." read more

This place is good but by no means deserving 5 stars...I agree with Tom, the rest of you were probably just trying this for the first time, Picanha is not a house specialty, Boi Na Braza has it, and might I add much better. The salad bar at Braza is much better too, this place is good, but I'm not gonna rave about it. read more

An absolute must for a meat lover! There's a salad bar which I looked at after the wholesome meal :) They've got all sorts of cuts of meat which are grilled to perfection, filet mignon, sirloin, lamb chops and some other cuts that I don't even remember the names of... but every cut was better than the one before. And it's an all you can eat buffet, so make sure you're really hungry going there, cause it's expensive too. It was a weekend night and the place was packed, am glad that we had reservations going in. The decor is really nice. read more

While my girlfriend's and my meal and actual server was very good, on our way out we were approached by someone, who can only assume was the manager due to her different uniform, inquiring as to whether or not we had paid our bill. After telling her that we had, in fact, paid our bill, she returned to the computer to verify what I was saying was true. It's incredibly insulting to have paid $160 for a meal and drinks for two, only to be accused of not paying. I will not be returning to this location, which I frequent for special occasions, solely based on this experience. read more
