The service at Fogo is impeccable, the staff genuinely seems happy and it shows in the way they treat their customers. Every time we go we have a better experience, but today brought me to tears. Armond, Ezequiel, David, and Anna literally made our day. I will never forget the hospitality and kindness we experienced today! Happy hour is all day, and the drinks are always well crafted. The never ending selection of meats are cooked to perfection. If you have not been, do yourself a favor and add it to your regular spots. We definitely have, and only wish we lived closer. If I could give them 10 stars I would! read more

Went on a weekday just because with my family. 2/3 the restaurant sitting empty because the host decided to cram everyone in the front next to the doors and windows. Like... you are built next to a Taco Bell in a strip mall plaza, chill out. Drinks were good (the brazilian limonade was bitter AF but maybe its supposed to be), waitstaff was great and attentive. The salad bar is okay. Cold cuts, fruits, cheeses, salads, pickles, veg - all nice. Kept clean and well stocked. Would have liked plantains and cheese bread offered in the hot bar section as those are good items and you only get tiny sharing portions at your table. The fire-roasted meats...? Seems the done-ness scale is either cremated or still mooing bloody raw. The gauchos comes all at once then crickets for long spells at a time. Pieces can be gristle or straight up just fat. If you're going to serve unmariniated meat, one word. SALT. It all needed backed up with much more salt. This place has its faults, which wouldn't be half as offensive if it was half the price. I've been to several brazilian places (including self-serve takeout) and this churrascaria is the worst. P.S. The grilled pineapple was bad, too. read more

I did not pay for this meal, which is exactly why you should trust the parts of this review that sting. My partner's aunt hosted a Saturday celebration dinner for my partner's sister, who just finished her PhD, and she covered the drinks and the churrasco. My usual policy when someone else is buying is to say nothing at all. I would rather say good things or keep quiet. So here we are. Let me start where the restaurant earned it. The service was the best thing about the night, full stop. We came in during Saturday turnover, before the dinner rush hit, and the staff was warm, quick on water and drink refills, and genuinely excellent with my kids, which is not a small thing. The meat servers were just as fast. There was one server my partner and I had trouble understanding, though I suspect that was the acoustics where we were seated, because nobody else at the table seemed to struggle. No complaints. None. The market table wasn't enough to carry this meal. The blue cheese wheel rescued more than one cut of beef and I would like to shake its hand. The smoked salmon was good. The Manchego was solid if unremarkable. And the ginger shots sitting next to the papaya were the single best thing I put in my mouth all night. No notes, unless you count wanting more ginger and a tiny speck of sea salt, which is my preference and not a flaw. The pão de queijo was plentiful and tasty but came out cold, and I would love to know if that is intentional, because warm would have been noticeably better. The meat itself was well seasoned and unevenly cooked. The sirloin was perfect. The rest ran tough and chewy. When the cheese from the salad bar is doing rescue work on your beef, something upstream has gone wrong. Dessert repeated the pattern. The banana cream was outstanding. The cake underneath it was dry enough to fall apart, and the cream is the only reason I got one bite down. My guess is it sat too long, and a simple syrup, or a honey syrup, would have held it together. Judging by the sweets on the market table, I suspect the simpler desserts are the best things on this menu, which would mean there is real talent here going to waste. And then there was the polenta. Fried polenta, served with some kind of banana. Brûléed with cinnamon, possibly. I honestly could not tell you, because I went straight for the polenta the second I learned what it was. I tried to stab it. It did not give. I stayed optimistic, figuring it was a thick skin from the fry and the middle would still be good. It was not. I abandoned the fork and picked it up with my fingers, and the first microsecond was fine, because I was braced for something like the socarrat you get in a good paella, so a crunch was expected. But the crunch kept crunching. And crunching. And then the center was cold, dry, and grainy. It is the saddest moment I have ever had with corn, and I will be scarred for life. I am aware I am reviewing one plate harshly, so let me explain why it matters. Grits, polenta, cornmeal mush, however you make it, is one of the most delicious simple things you can produce anywhere corn grows. It is the dish Joe Pesci gets served in that diner in My Cousin Vinny, the one the cook identifies for him in a voice like a country line cook by day and a Hell's Angel by night: hominy grits. That is a plainer preparation than what arrived at our table, and I would take it over what I was given without hesitating for a second. That this plate made it past expo is inexcusable. It had no business on the service floor, and I think our server knew it. She was energetic and glad to serve us all night, but her body language and a small shift in her tone when the polenta and banana came up told me she was uncomfortable. That is not on her. That is a hierarchy failing to meet the standard of a simple man who once dreamed of being a chef. Everything else that night, I could work with. That one plate ruined my palate until the papaya and the ginger repaired it, and it is the reason I am not planning a return for the time being. Maybe the seafood tower tells a different story. The staff, at least, deserve one. read more

I'm disappointed. There's just too many better places to go for around $100/person. Do a hard fix on the food and we'll be back. Food = This is where it loses four stars. Of the roughly five different Brazilian steakhouses I've been to, the food here was by far the worst. Half the meat that came around was grossly overcooked. Please stop serving these hard nuggets of "steak" to innocent people. These places usually have well flavored meats - not here. Virtually no sauces to add flavor to the bland meats. I'm including the meat (skewer?) servers with food here. Our table was a bit off to the side and at one point they ignored us for 10 minutes, so we just asked for the bill to leave. Potatoes served as a side dish were cold. "Market table" is usually designed to have good food to keep people from eating all the more expensive meats, alas here it was a salad bar with a few extras. Lamb chops and ribeye did not exist the whole time we were there. Writing this is as depressing as the meal. Service = Carol was the saving grace to get a star in this meal and did everything right. Everyone else was friendly as well. Dropped a fork and it was a race to get us a new one - impressive. Restaurant = Nice looking restaurant, with the music loud enough to stifle conversations. read more

Beautiful and very delicious hoping to come back soon! Service was excellent and very attentive without being pushy. The food was perfect everything came out hot and didn't take long. Our drinks were very very good as well. read more

We actually came in for my spouse's birthday. There was a $25 off coupon in the app. So make sure to sign up for that!! The service was really good. We got the full regular experience. The meat was delicious too! And it kept coming!! Kids eat free as well. It was nice! read more

Fogo de Chão - Brazilian Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

TLDR; The service was extremely slow and disorganized, and no one cares about customers. Be prepared to waste alot of time waiting for food and service! Fogo de Chao has been our go-to AYCE steakhouse for the past 10 years. However, after this disappointing ~$300 experience, this was the first time we considered going to a different steakhouse for future occasions. We were visiting from out of town for the holidays and found out there was a Fogo in Columbus. Came here with a party of 4 for a special celebration. All of us got the churrasco for $49 per person. The staff seemed moody and the tableside service was slow. The first red flag was when we initially sat down and received the cheese bread and none of the other sides. We were confused and wondered if Fogo had stopped offering the plantains, yuca fries and mashed potatoes. After waiting a *long* time for our server to come back, we ended up asking one of the gauchos who was passing by our table if they still served them. He was surprised we didnt get them yet so he flagged the server to finally bring us the sides. All 4 of us had our green marker on the entire time and it was atleast 10 minutes in between when the first and second gauchos came by with meat. We were all waiting what felt like forever in between all the meats. We mostly ended up filling up on the salad bar and sides 30 minutes into the meal. Even though the restaurant was about 40% occupied, there were only 2 gauchos going around with tableside service. There was a 15-20 minute period that we noticed no meat on the floor at all. How can you not have any meat available for that long as an AYCE steakhouse with that many customers? It just seemed like they were either understaffed or being cheap and skimping on meats intentionally (maybe both?). We had to request a specific meat cut twice before someone finally brought it to our table, and this was already 30 mins after we asked the first time. On another note, this is the first Fogo we have been to where the servers didnt ask us about steak doneness levels. One gaucho came by with ribeye and it was EXTREMELY well done (tough and inedible). Seemed like they overcooked it and were trying to get rid of it by offering it up to unlucky customers. And to top all this off, our server was noticeably upset and moody the whole time. We were never offered any refills on our drinks or sides so we had to ask her for those as well. At this point, we just accepted that all the employees were just doing the absolute bare minimum for service. Overall, this was the worst experience we've ever had at Fogo. The lousy service ruined the mood since this was supposed to be a happy celebratory lunch. Would not visit again. This is just one of those places you regret tipping at. read more

5/5 This was our first time trying the new Fogo De Chão Brazilian Steakhouse in Polaris, and WOW we were blown away! We've always gone to Texas de Brazil at Easton and, while the concept is similar, Fogo De Chão was on another level. Truly twice as good in every way. From the moment we walked in, the customer service was absolutely top tier. The entire place inside, outside, and even the women's restrooms was spotless and beautifully kept. We had reservations for 4:30 PM on a Friday and arrived about 5-10 minutes late, which led to a short wait in the entrance seating area. We were originally supposed to be seated right in the front, but we asked for a different option and I'm so glad we did. They placed us in a private event-style room that usually fits around 40 people, and we had the whole section to ourselves for most of the time. It made our experience feel extra special and intimate. Now, the food... absolutely unforgettable. We had: * Garlic parmesan chicken * Bacon-wrapped steak * Sirloin steak * Pork * pork sausage * Pork belly that literally melted in your mouth * Bronzino fish * Buttery mashed potatoes * Brazilian-style black beans * Brazilian cheese bread (amazing!) * Grilled cheese that was unbelievable especially when the server drizzled honey over it * Smoked salmon with capers * Fresh sides and salads from the self-serve bar All of the meats were brought around by the servers, and everything every single thing was hot, fresh, flavorful, and extremely high quality. You could truly taste the difference. Overall, I would give this experience 10/10. It exceeded every expectation, and we will absolutely be returning. Also worth mentioning they're open on Thanksgiving! read more

Fogo de Chão - Brazilian Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

The food was great. Good service. They did upsell us from the $49 special. Nice restaurant. Nice change from Texas de Brazil.

Pros -Quality of meats -Sour mocktail was one of the best I had -Honey cheese option -Cheese bread -Interior Con -Salad bar choices are okay, barely any warm items -Had to ask for short rib, never stopped by us -Filled out a form during reservation stating it was our anniversary and our restrictions like pork, but it was obvious that no one looked at that, because we were offered pork options throughout the night, would have been nice to be offered more of what we could have, many things are sausage or wrapped in bacon -Didn't care for the mashed potatoes, I would skip -Caramelized bananas were soggy -Polenta fries too salty -Since price is more than Texas de Brazil, I would rather go there with more salad bar options and they always bring around short rib read more

I know this is a chain, but it still offers my favorite churrasco experience in Columbus. I also prefer their feijaoda bar over some of the other Brazilian places. I feel like they have more exotic fruits and unique salads. My favorite cuts have to be their picanha and bacon wrapped meats. The peppered thick cut bacon makes it top notch. I'm not much of a sauce person. I like it when the freshness and quality of the raw ingredients shine, and that's how Fogo de Chao shines. They have a pretty good HH too at the bar, so if you're looking for a special night out and have a good appetite, come experience a meat lover's dream. Although, a vegetarian would be quite happy at their sides and accoutrements bar too. read more

Finally got the chance to visit the new Brazilian restaurant that recently opened on Polaris Parkway called Fogo de Chão. They are located in over 20+ states & several countries. They bring all various types of meat including chicken, pork chops, and every kind of steak you can imagine to your table hot + fresh off the fire and slice it for you at your table. In addition you are able to select your sides from the brazilian market place bar. Premium sides are served from the kitchen. The waitress Gee-Gee and manager Armando at this location were the absolute BEST! They treated us like really good family, including bringing me a purse rack to the table to hold my purse! Beautiful ambiance, the biggest fully stocked alcohol bar, it was truly a wonderful kind of dining experience that we never had but LOVED! We definitely plan to return for their brunch, which we heard was top tier! They can be quite pricy, but check out the menu ahead of time so that you know what you're walking into. At the end of the day, make a reservation, and go! You won't be disappointed! read more

I've been to Fogo twice now since it opened and it's one of my favorite new restaurants! I've been to the NYC location so I knew that it was going to be amazing! It's beautifully decorated and the ambiance is great. We opted for the Full Churrasco which included the passed meats and the market table. The meat was excellent and if I didn't see something I wanted I just asked and they sent it our way. I loved the market table but I wish there were more hot items on it. The second time we went it was for Mother's Day brunch and I really wish there were waffles or French toast or something like that. The cocktails were also very good. I tried the skinny Caipirinha and the Bloody Mary. I saw someone else drinking a delicious looking lemonade- I will definitely try that next time! I've already made another reservation and can't wait to go back! read more

Fogo de Chão - Brazilian Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Very underwhelming experience. The place is beautiful but the service was very poor. We got sat and it took atleast 10 minutes for our server to address us. From there our drinks were not filled often, we couldn't find our server multiple times, then they offered us a free desert for our anniversary and then charged us for it and once we noticed, it took another 10 minutes for someone to address it. The food was okay, I think the other nearby locations that offer similar selections are much better and offer more variety. We will not be back and it's sad because it's so close to us. read more

I've had some great experiences at Fogo de Chão, which is why this Father's Day visit was so disappointing. The biggest issue with this restaurant is the inconsistency. I've visited in the past and had great service, delicious food, and an endless variety of meats brought to the table, including unique offerings like chicken thighs with chimichurri sauce. Those visits made me excited to return. Unfortunately, our Father's Day experience was the complete opposite. From the moment we sat down, our server seemed to be in a bad mood. Surrounded by families celebrating Father's Day, I was surprised that not once did he acknowledge the occasion or offer a simple "Happy Father's Day." We asked about the brunch and were told by the server that brunch wasn't being served because it was Father's Day, which made little sense to me. The brunch and dinner menus are nearly identical, except brunch includes a few extra items. If anything, I would expect those extras to be available on a holiday. What made it even more confusing was that several brunch items were available at the Market Table. There were juice shots, an omelet station, and what appeared to be some type of waffle, although it resembled cornbread more than the traditional waffles I've seen from the other locations. At 12:30 pm they stopped making the "waffles" with no explanation. It felt like the restaurant was doing brunch halfway. Either offer it or don't, and make it clear to guests ahead of time. We were hoping our children could enjoy some of those options since they're not big meat eaters, so learning there was "no brunch" and no waffles being available immediately put a damper on the meal. I'm not a huge red meat eater and mainly wanted chicken. Chicken legs came around once, but I never saw the chicken thighs with chimichurri sauce that I've enjoyed before. After requesting multiple times, I was eventually brought a single chicken breast. We also requested lamb chops, and after waiting about 30 minutes, still hadn't received them. A server came by to ask if we still wanted them, and we said yes. They never arrived. She came back a third time to ask again, and by then we had given up and told her not to bother. For the price, the experience shouldn't vary this much. I've seen how great Fogo de Chão can be, which makes visits like this even more frustrating. We'll probably take a break and maybe give it another try on a non-holiday, but this Father's Day experience left us disappointed. read more

Been to this chain and type of restaurant before. It was delicious. Expensive? Absolutely. Make no mistake you will spend some money but if you are a meat eater this is defitnetly a visit at least once in your life. One hiccup was that the place was so busy that our dessert didn't come until a hostess asked if we needed anything else and we stated that dessert had been MIA for a little bit now. Otherwise, great stuff. If your wife or girlfriend is more of a salad, eat small portions kind of gal, leave her at home or break up with her for the next few hours because those meat skewers keep a coming! read more

Heard so many things about Fogo and wanted to love it but it sort of fell short. Cold sides at the table and when we asked for hot ones they brought us more cold ones. Salad bar seemed a little lacking for a Brazilian joint. Some cuts of meat were fantastic while others seemed grizzly and lower quality. One of our servers, Sonia was great, the other one Ana, seemed bothered to be there. I think I'll stick with Texas de Brazil but at least I gave it a try. read more

Check out sausage... looks like it is left over from Halloween. Fingers from the return of the dead. It is so burnt No one bring fresh plate Keep recycling the same cut meat until I ask.. I thought you have this and and that... This is the worst fogo I have been. Define "de Chão"...comida da terra read more

Fogo de Chão - Sausage- burnt sausage, consistently burnt - Brazilian Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I went to this location when it was an O'Charley's, but very happy it became Fogo de Chao Brazilian Steakhouse for my early birthday celebration with my friend/second mother. The cold bar with salad with Brazilian corn. I loved the Cheese bread too. The meats and mashed potatoes was filling. Green is Go and Red is Stop when the meat servers continuously come to the table with different meats. Everything was delicious especially the fried bananas with brown sugar. The lobster was great too. The service was excellent and the staff with an international flair love their jobs and giving the best of making the patrons feel more like family. Anna, Tiara, and whole staff love coming to work. It was the best Brazilian Steakhouse that I have ever been to. read more

Great time here in FOGO de Chao. It's our third visit in a month. Superb ambiance Food was delicious. Told our waiter to keep the picanha coming bec it's my favorite. They didn't disappoint. Great experience everytime. Shout out to their Manager Vinnie. He made our dine in so special that he made the anniversary dessert and delivered to us by himself. He was very helpful to his staffs and very kind. Thank you Vinnie. We had the surf and turf special which is lobsters plus the whole Brazilian experience. read more

I was here for the first time and was looking forward to the experience and the food and both were disappointing. We waited over 10 minutes before anyone came by with a meat offering. And then again another time there was similar wait time. We had to ask for lamb toward the end of our meal because it was never brought around. The chicken breast was overcooked as well as one of the steaks. They seemed shortstaffed. The sides that were brought to the table were cold. The staff were nice when you could get their attention. read more

Great experience dining with family. The seafood tower was better than Ocean Club, the meats plentiful and of great quality and the sides numerous and tasty. Great cocktails as well. Will be going back! read more

Food: 4 Service: 3 Ambiance: 4 I have visited other Fogo locations and was excited a new location opened in Columbus. I was a part of a large party which I can tell was hard for the various servers to keep track of. My group didn't get a chance to taste all the premium meats which was a bummer since we had 3 people who had never been here before. Someone waited over 30 mins after drinks were served before he got his first cocktail. The food was amazing with the group favoring the Picanna steak. I was disappointed I had to ask for water once we were seated. Keep in mind it was a Friday night so I understand they were busy. I suggest to make a reservation and be patient as they work thru being a new establishment. read more

The best Brazilian steakhouse experience I've ever had was at the Fogo de Chao in Atlanta (Piedmont Ave), so I was excited to see a location open up in Columbus. I've dined many times at the other Brazilian steakhouses in Columbus (Texas de Brazil and Rodizio Grill), so I'll be comparing this location to those two. First of all, Fogo de Chao is by far the priciest at $65/person. (Texas de Brazil is $56/person, Rodizio is $46) The quality of their meat is high, I'd say equal to Texas de Brazil and better than Rodizio. The variety of meats however is probably the smallest out of the 3. They don't seem to publish what types of meats they have, but during my hour dining there, I think we were offered 10-12 different cuts of meat. The garlic steak and top sirloin came around the most often, while the more premium cuts like filet mignon, ribeye, and lamb chop only came once. Their service is probably the best out of the 3. I've dinged Texas de Brazil in the past for mediocre service, so big props to Fogo here. Their salad bar area is tiny compared to the other 2. The other 2 places have lobster bisque while this location serves tomato bisque. Soooo overall, I would have to say that Fogo de Chao is not the best Brazilian Steakhouse in Columbus despite being the most expensive. I would say the other 2 locations offer better value, with Texas de Brazil being my overall preference despite their service being inconsistent. Interestingly, Fogo also offers an ala carte menu for steaks that includes wagyu. Very pricy though... so I'm not sure why one would order those instead of going to an actual prime steakhouse like Eddie Merlot's down the street. read more

I was excited to try this Brazilian steakhouse as I have not been to one in a while. When arriving, we were not greeted very kindly as we did not have a reservation but it looked like only 5-10% of the tables were full. Our waitress was fine, but only offered us bottled water - which I do not mind to pay for but would still like the option of tap water. The food was okay. The meats were not flavorful that I would have hoped for. Additionally, some of the medium meats were definitely rare. There are many other AYCE meat places that I prefer. The inside of the restaurant was nicely decorated. I can cross this place off of my list for restaurants to try, but likely will not be coming back. read more

Fogo de chao has recently opened in the Columbus area and the service is outstanding. From the hosts to the servers and gauchos, everyone was super friendly and efficient. Special mention to Jonathan who was extremely helpful. In addition to the cuts of meat, they offer an extensive salad bar. The salad bar was filled with various types of lettuce, vegetables, charcuterie, beans, soup, etc. As is tradition, the gauchos bring the meats to the table, when you have the disk they give you turned on its green side and give you some breathing room when you turn it over on red. Now, regarding the meat itself. I don't know if its because the restaurant is new, but I really enjoyed most of my meats. The quality of the cuts was excellent, and far better than what I recalled at the Fogo in Chicago. The ambiance is also nice -- it feels new and the sides and the drinks were excellent as well. I was told that they also have a great bar menu if you don't want to order the traditional all you can eat meal. I look forward to trying their hamburger there. read more

Mixed review of our first visit to the Fogo de Chao restaurant in Columbus Ohio. Restaurant was lovely with a pleasant atmosphere. Employees were very attentive. The highlights were the Burrata & Roasted Tomatoes appetizer and several salads: Quinoa Tabbouleh, Chicken Salad, and Roasted Butternut Squash with Apples. These salads were included in the vast "Market Table & Feijoada Bar" that was EXCELLENT - well worth a visit!! In contrast, the fire-roasted meat cuts that were brought to our table were a disappointment: the samples were not tender and all had a similar, unpleasant seasoning giving each selection a bad institutional taste. read more

The food was mediocre and really lacked variety. The meal was over $100 a person and then they do sneaky stuff like charge you $40 for water without disclosing that in the first place. Really disappointed in my experience in the service at this restaurant. Save your money and go somewhere else. Very very disappointing. read more

they would not bring the premium cuts of meet to the table. we had to ask 5 times for ribeye filet lamb etc. The waiter kept apologizing however, the guy with grilled pineapple and pork sausages came to table 10 times as was the cheese trays and the chicken thighs. We paid for premium meats and had maybe 1 small cut of each towards the end of meal after multiple inquiries. same goes for beef ribs etc. I think they try to push the cheaper options while rationing the more expensive cuts. were never going back there are many other choices in columbus and this is not an acceptable choice for me and my family. I called manager next day he kept apologizing just like the waiter . never going back read more

I'm not quite sure how to rate this place. The environment left nothing to be desired, but the drinks and the staff were very friendly, especially the bartenders. The food was over-salted but all the meat was cooked to perfection The prices seemed a bit steep considering how filling and rich everything was and I didn't even get any dessert over all me and my significant other had a great time read more

I've waited a week to write this review. My husband and I ate here for our anniversary. Neither of us had previously visited a Brazilian steakhouse. I had perused the menu and based on the price point I had an expectation in mind. The whole dinner felt like a trashy buffet decided to try and become upscale. Let's call it what it is, the "Marketplace" is a salad bar. It was so loud it was hard to hear what meat was being presented. Sides were put down on the table but we were never told what they were. If you want to avoid a $15 charge, be sure to tell them you want ice water- otherwise, they'll bring you large glass bottles of water at $7.50 each. The chocolate cake we had for dessert was okay. The food was fine but underwhelming. I expect to spend $200 for two drinks, two entrees and desserts on my anniversary but I don't expect it to feel like a Hometown Buffet. If your goal is quantity this place might work for you. read more

I have been to Fogo twice now, once for happy hour at the bar and the second time at brunch for the full churrasco. Both experiences have been top tier, the staff is wonderful and attentive. I love the atmosphere, it's well decorated and just an overall vibe. The food is delicious, and the drinks... girrrrlll go ahead and order that caipirinha! Matter of fact make it two. If you go for happy hour, honestly you can't go wrong with any of the options. We tried a few items, and the burger was probably my favorite. It was cooked perfectly for me, medium, and very juicy. For the full churrasco, just go ahead and do it. I was so excited I didn't even take pics. The market table area is amazing but the variety of meats is a nice selection as well. There's something for everyone. read more

Very average for the price. My date and I both agreed. The sides bar was very mediocre. The asparagus was good. My date had more of the bar stuff than I did. She said there wasn't much variety and it was all bland. The bean salad was tasty though. The pickled red onions were horrible. They were completely flavorless as if they had just soaked some sliced onions in water. The meats were also hit or miss. The guys would come over with some sirloin and slice you off a nice piece of medium rare. Then they would come back and slice off another piece and it was well done. Only one of the servers asked how we liked our meat cooked. The bacon wrapped steak was completely inedible. Cooked beyond recognition. The same for the garlic rubbed steak. We were never offered lamb chops or sausage. Then as we were ready to pay the bill and get my date's free desert they asked us if there were any specific meats we wanted. Too late. We did get 25% off the bill for signing up for their rewards. The creme Brulee cheesecake was delicious. I wouldn't go back though. read more

Mother's Day brunch was underwhelming at the Columbus Fogo de Chao. I have been to 6 different locations and even one in São Paulo. This was not up to standard. Meats were under-seasoned, overcooked, and scarce. Better cuts not even presented. Tables were jammed in odd places breaking up the flow. At one point I had a server shouting drink orders over our table to the bar. All for a premium over regular cost. I was already irritated by non-stop reminders and confirmation requests. Very poor experience. read more

Low quality meat. I got all fat in many offerings and what was meat was so tuff and burnt it was black. No seasoning. The salad bar is a joke. I wait an hour for a drink refill. I would not go back if it was free. Go somewhere else read more

The food tasted great. However when compared to the other two Brazilian steakhouses in Columbus it was very limited in variety. The salad/sides bar was also very limited in variety. The service was great, no issues there. Just when it's more expensive than Texas de Brazil and Rodizio but has less selection and just feels limited. That being said it definitely feels more expensive from the moment you walk in. So if you're looking for some place that makes you feel like you're spending a bunch of money (or someone is spending a bunch on you) then it's the place to go. read more
