    I think I had high expectations because of all and overall good reviews but it was a bit of a let down. I was debating between a 3 and 4 and decided to give it a 3 because the main highlight of a steakhouse are the meats which did not impress me. I got the full churrasco dinner and I did feel like there were that many meat options compared to others in the Houston area and a lot of the ones that did come out were bland and lacked flavor. My least favorite was the ribeye which tasted tough and "off". The sirloins were overall good though. And it took a while for them to come by despite not being busy. Surprisingly there's a lot of parking and seats; it was not busy whenever I go so you can probably just walk-in or make a reservation. The inside is very nicely decorated and I think very picture-worthy. Service is good overall; the waiters and waitresses were all very welcoming, answered any questions, and attentive. Salad bar itself is overall good; lots of options and I became a fan of their sweet potato hummus - went up twice. Lacking in soups. Cheese bread varies a lot: sometimes it's tough and hard to chew and other times it's well made. Also other places have more and better bread/butter options. I may change my mind about this place in the future but for now, there might be other steakhouses to go to.

    I love Brazilian steakhouses. I've been to so many over the years, but Fogo was one that I previously always went to multiple times a year, up until recently. I feel like their quality has steadily declined over the years, but my most recent visit was an absolute disaster. I came here on a Saturday for a party of 9, and we were seated at a corner right next to a huge party of at least 25-30 people. The foods tasted fine, but the service was horrible. Even our drinks took over 30 minutes to come out, and we kept having to remind the servers for our drinks because they were forgotten. The servers carrying the meats barely stopped by our table (avoiding the large party next to us who were taking up most of the space taking photos/paying their check in a long line). Even though the party next to us was in the way, it was not acceptable for the servers avoid this area and not bring us the foods. Because we were seated at the corner, whenever the food did come out, for the most part, they only gave meats to the people of my party who were sitting at the outer part of the table but not the inner parts. Even when we asked multiple times to bring out certain cuts, it took forever for anyone to come; when they did come, they briefly walked around, serving (of course) the outer half of my table, and briefly left. Everything felt rushed with the servers that day like they did not want to bother with our table at all. One of the most unacceptable things that happened was the server brought the grilled cheese/honey to our table. He literally tossed the cheeses on each of our plates, without care or any regard. For my plate, he also tossed the cheese but missed my plate. The cheese landed on the tablecloth, and he just grabbed the cheese and put it back on my plate. This was super rude and unsanitary. Because of this recent experience, I will not be back to Fogo unless they improve or correct these things. When it costs around $70 a person for dinner, I expect at least decent service and tasty foods. I don't mind spending a lot of money on good foods/service, but spending this much on a horrible experience like this was not okay. My party left the restaurant upset and not full. Until then, I'll be at Chama Gaucha instead.

    Chris was great! He was very courteous and accommodating to our needs and wants, glad to have had him of service during one of our anniversary dinners. Buffet was well laid out and never had to wait for table -side meat selections long before the next came. This location stays busy in the large open one room layout so be sure to get a reservation & be prepared to be surrounded by families with cute kiddos, this is less "dark date night" style than lots of steakhouses so just be aware in case you're wanting quiet vs. lively :)

    Me and my husband had a great 1st time experience here. All the waiters and staff were so nice and helpful. We both did the full churrasco and there was so much food it was almost overwhelming. It was nice to try things new things. I'm not a huge steak eater so alot of my favorites were the chicken. I'm definitely one that needs a sauce to go with my meat but I know see from other reviews there is a chimichurri sauce available so I'll have to try it next time. Overall great time, we got our moneys worth and waddled out with full stomachs.

    The Fogo experience is not uncommon for cities that have a vibrant dining scene and a penchant for unlimited slices of meat. They've become the most ubiquitous Brazilian steakhouse brand and are well represented all throughout the country. The Houston version hasn't been my favorite, but it's been a place that I've frequented often over the last few months due to their Best of Brazil deal ($39.99 per person). While it isn't the best option in town, it is one of the most complete experiences with solid food, service, and a lot to offer to those with big appetites and special occasions. The parking lot might not look very spacious, but there's a lot of parking in the back. After a certain hour during the dinner service, most of the front spaces will be roped off in favor of valet. Lunch might be a better option for most folks but know that the offerings will be someone limited. There is plenty of seating and lots of white tablecloth action happening. The lighting isn't particularly ideal for food porn shots and there are dedicated sections for private parties. They're extremely big on reservations, however, most week nights they'll be able to take walk-ins since the place is rarely ever full. The service and wait staff is composed of a lot of youngins who are eager for gratuity and are a bit casual compared to other similar establishments. It feels less premium, but certainly less stuffy as well. The regular churrasco experience is around $62 a person. It comes with unlimited trips to the salad / cold foods buffet and a whole plethora of meats. The display for the cold foods is not particularly impressive, but there is a good selection of items that standout for yours truly. They include the roasted zucchini, the assortment of cheeses, the assortment of cheeses, naturally the candied bacon, and while not incredible, I still appreciate the fact they serve the Brazilian national dish, feijoada. Once the table card is flipped to green, the real treat always comes down to the meats. Their pincanha is the most consistent and is often available in rare to medium rare. The top + bottom sirloin, beef ribs, bone-In ribeye, and lamb chops are still the ones for me to eat. I haven't seen enough filet mignon or pork belly, but I do wish they would make this more of a focal point when showcasing their offerings. There's a little too much bacon wrapped this and that with sausage and a very uninspiring frango chicken to boot. The bonus is the warm crispy polenta and pao de queijo served table side. There were times during the summer where the ventilation wasn't working and I would advise the management to make sure that this is under control, along with the flied that bothered my dining companions and I throughout one of our meals. Overall, despite the less than ideal circumstances with staff and ambiance, I still think it's worth visiting, especially for people who are fans of the cuisine and have some allegiance to the Fogo brand (#1). ____________ (#1) Frequent Diners card anyone?

    There was a 15 minute wait for the reservation no big deal but I was standing at the bar and the bartender ignored me and he didn't use anyone to serve I just stood there when I wanted to order a beverage while I waited. The waitress was spectacular there was a time span of 10 minutes where the servers just didn't come back and I cooled off a little bit over all it was aight. The food was good as always and the ambiance was standard fogo.

    I'm surprised I'm barely doing this review. I've been to several Fogo de Chao in the United States. Most recently, the one in Rosemount, Illinois. I decided to come check out the Houston location. I can't remember if I've been to this location in the past so since it's been so long, I guess I'll treat. This is my first experience at the Houston location. Food; the food is really good here. The salad bar is amazing. All of the cuts of meat are simply top notch. I like the Brazilian sodas, the cheese bread is probably my favorite. Also, I'm not sure why they got rid of the roasted pineapple. That was one of our favorites. The new seasoning on the chicken leg quarters was pretty amazing. Overall, we're very happy with our experience. It was quite busy for Christmas. I mean it was jampacked. It was kind of hard to get to the salad bar, but it wasn't a big deal. The service is pretty good. Juan was top notch. You can tell he really tried to give his all and he did his best job he could. I thought he was an amazing customer service person. I will definitely come back to this location. Solid five stars.

    Brazilian Empanadas Spiced Chicken Sliders
    Genevieve A.

    Fogo is one of my favorite restaurants but the service when I went was not that great maybe because I came for Happy hour. Very interesting considering it was really my first time participating in happy hour. Usually I sit in the main restaurant and do the full experience but I was in the area and wanted a light bite with a friend. It took about 15 minutes to be attended to and the restaurant was not busy at all. Anyway, I ordered the beef empanadas and my friend got the spiced chicken sliders. The beef empanadas were pretty good with the sauce it came with, the chicken sliders were alright. We came on a Tuesday, and since we are reward members, we got the $1 Caipirinha's, they felt a little bit watered down with the alcohol. We didn't even get waters either our order lol happy hour is definitely a miss at this location as far as service goes.

    Excellent dining experience for Sunday dinner. Half-price cocktails were delicious. Party of 3 adults with 1 pescetarian who did the Salad Bar and two others who did the full experience. Jonathan was an excellent server and the selection was great. It can be difficult to get well-done cuts of meat when the restaurant is busy, but we received any requests almost immediately. The ambiance is upscale, but dress is casual. This is good as you will probably need stretchy clothing after your meal.
