Drinks poor. Martini was very watery. Service very bad - my wife was initially ignored, then talked down to, and served poor quality food. Her friend who was with her had to send her food back twice to have it cooked properly. Waitress was not at all pleasant. Very, very disappointing experience and very poor attitude towards regular customers. read more

We went to Fogo to celebrate our anniversary, and unfortunately, I left feeling disappointed. Fogo has always been one of my favorite restaurants, but I feel like both the food and, to some extent, the service just aren't hitting the mark the way they used to. Now, don't get me wrong, the service was friendly, welcoming, and attentive overall. Our drinks were refilled quickly, and the staff stayed on top of clearing dirty plates and bringing out bread. However, I noticed that some of the staff serving the meats seemed extremely rushed. We went for Sunday brunch right when they opened, and there were only about five tables seated, so I was surprised by how hurried some of the service felt. A few servers were also a little messy when serving the meat. On more than one occasion, meat was held directly over our water glasses and juices would fly all over the table. It wasn't the biggest issue, but it definitely took away from the experience. The biggest disappointment, though, was the food. The meats were consistently bland and lacked the flavor I remember from Fogo. Even the garlic beef had only the slightest hint of garlic. For a restaurant where the meat is supposed to be the star of the experience, I expected much more flavor. It's honestly disappointing to say this because Fogo has been a longtime favorite of mine, but I feel like I've lost my taste for it. For my next all-you-can-eat Brazilian steakhouse experience, I'll probably be trying a different churrascaria instead. I still appreciate the friendly staff and the memories I've had at Fogo, but unfortunately, this visit just didn't live up to the experience I've come to expect from them. read more

Fogo de Chão - Crème brûlée - Brazilian Near Me - Houston, Texas

This was my first visit to Fogo De Chão and was left underwhelmed. Among entering there was two other families with reservations waiting to be seated but there was nobody at the host stand so we were all just waiting around. I could tell they were understaffed as this occurred for the entirety of my stay. On this visit I wasn't in the mood for any red meats so I opted out of the Churrasco Experience but I will be back once more to try it out along with their market table as that's what they're most known for! I ordered the lunch pan-seared salmon and subbed the asparagus for mashed potatoes. The salmon was fresh and lightly seasoned but very overcooked. I mentioned it to my server and she didn't mind preparing me a new one. The second was cooked much better. The chimichurri sauce on top didn't have much flavor in my opinion. All I could taste was vinegar, oil and parsley. I really enjoyed the garlic mashed potatoes. They were buttery and had great flavor! Overall, I don't know if it was just the location, but the service wasn't great and the restaurant wasn't the cleanest. I'll give Fogo one more go, but a different location. Maybe I had my expectations too high but unfortunately I wasn't impressed. read more

Unfortunately, I still see a lot of room for improvement. There was quite a bit of confusion when we sat down. Even after placing our order, we had to request plates, and our first server later had to bring tongs over after noticing we had not received them. I'm not sure where the disconnect occurred, but basic table items such as plates and serving utensils should have been provided in a timely manner. I also noted in our reservation that we were celebrating a 74th birthday. We were only offered a candle after dessert had already been presented. I was later informed that the staff is not provided with the information guests include when making reservations. That was disappointing to hear, as details like special celebrations are important and would clearly benefit the staff experience and overall guest experience. Additionally, we were told the gift certificate included two meals, two non-alcoholic beverages, and two desserts, but it was apparently only tied to a specific dollar amount instead. That created confusion and different expectations. The biggest issue I continue to notice at this location is communication. There seems to be a disconnect between reservations, staff awareness, and guest expectations, and it significantly impacts the overall dining experience. read more

There will never really be much to complain about food-wise at Fogo de Chao. All steaks were good and the market table was enjoyable. The service however very disappointing. It was my first time at this specific location. We were about 10 minutes late to our weekday 12:30 reservation (reasonably late) but waited 15+ minutes to be sat down. Then upon sitting down no one had approached our table for another 5-10+ minutes. It was awhile before bread and drinks were brought to us and service was just not very attentive throughout the meal. The mashed potato and plantain sides also had to be requested when i haven't had to ask for them at other locations. read more

Fogo de Chão - Brazilian Near Me - Houston, Texas

We visited Fogo de Chão for my birthday back in October. We've been many times before, but this visit just felt different. The service was okay and there was definitely no shortage of meat, but it also confirmed that we're just not buffet people--even when it's upscale. Even the seating felt off; it honestly reminded us of being back in Jamaica in July, sitting at our resort where meals were more exclusive and relaxed. Here, it felt like a high-end buffet with constant table traffic, which took away from the experience. Nothing was necessarily bad, but nothing really stood out either. Probably great if you love endless meat and that dining style--just not our vibe this time. read more

Came in today and was seated in the bar area with Maria. We were seated quickly without a reservation (2) & the service was phenomenal. The staff was just incredible. Joc consistently checked on us to make sure we were doing well and kept us refilled. The food was 100%. 10/10. We definitely will be back. It wasn't busy so the food came out very quickly. They have an all day happy hour so we ordered the lamb chops, filet board, chicken sliders, empanadas, beef rib, Gold rush, a Malbec and the happy hour burger. It was wonderful and we will be back!! read more

Fogo de Chão - Beef Rib - Brazilian Near Me - Houston, Texas

Came here for brunch because my kids have always had great experiences at Fogo. The servers were polite and attentive, but the food quality missed the mark this time. Some of the fruit tasted like it had been cut on the same board as vegetables, and the steaks were inconsistent--at times I'd get a sliver of raw meat, and other times a large chunk was dropped onto my plate with little care. I'm not one to complain, but the server also charged full price for the kids, which added to the disappointment. The overall taste, presentation, and delivery of the meat cuts need improvement. At this price point, I expect Fogo to deliver the standard they're known for. When we think of Churrasco, we think of Fogo. We've visited other locations in different states, and I can say with confidence that this one didn't meet the baseline. Unfortunately, we'll pass next time. read more

This is our second time at Fogo de Chao in cypress. We were greeted at the door, we had reservations and that is highly recommended. The lighting was dimmed and the music was not too loud where you can talk across the table. The table service was okay and was not spectacular. We kept having to ask to refill water, asking is there any meat because we got barely any meat served. The table would get offered servings of any kind of meat every 10 mins or even longer. You can literally look around the room and literally there was NO ONE serving meat to any guests at their table. No one got any type of beef, lamb, chicken for a good 5-10 mins. and if you did get offered meat it not hot, there wasn't a variety of beef the same 2 beefs / sausage were the only that did come around. I've been to multiple Brazilian steakhouse and this was VERY disappointing. The servers barely came around, completely ignoring our green/red cards. We had to repeatedly ask for specific cuts like the picanha, filet, which never appeared. I ask for fresh cheesy bread 3x to 3 different people . When the meat did arrive, it was either tough, extremely salty, or undercooked (still red in the middle when we asked for medium-well). Definitely NOT worth the high price tag at all; we actually left feeling incredibly frustrated and cheated. We spent $400 on salad bar, and a few pieces of meat. This is very sad and after writing this review and reading others I was not alone. All the tables were just sitting looking at each other, talking with no one walking around offering any sort of meat. This is actually really ridiculous and there should be servers bringing meats around non stop, to where guest have to flip their card red and when the plates are full of food. This was a total opposite experience, terrible experience and most likely my last time here. I will definitely not be back and prefer to go to other Brazilian Steakhouses that I know will provide a much better experience with a better selection of meat offerings or even offering meats more frequently then 1 every 10 minutes. Their sale of "endless meat" is FALSE Advertising. You get hardly any served to you, better go to a nice steakhouse do you really get what you paid for. Save yourself the money and time. I hope the manager / management team do read this review and consider on make a huge change. read more

This experience makes me believe that Fogo is now the McDonald's of Brazilian steakhouses. I feel like that may be their goal. They're a little cheaper than the great ones. The food at this location was terrible. The steak was generally hard as a rock and unseasoned. The salad bar was out of multiple items. The service while polite was not stellar like a premium restaurant should be. So it's McDonald's without the mcnuggets. read more

Would not recommend, at least this location. Our first time was last year and had a much better experience. This time we decided to go back for our anniversary and wish we just ate at sumo sushi right next to it instead that does have great food and customer service. This place is a joke for the quality and price. We were greeted nicely my first issue was there was a big party that was being catered to the most leaving the rest of us to wait longer. Waiters took much longer to get to our table after waters were brought. By the time they finally got to us it wasn't a wide variety like our previous visit or other places. For the price you pay here you'd think it would be worth it. So expect to eat the same meats back to back. Also the quality is not there anymore in the meats along with the stale cheese bread and crispy polenta. We were offered a complimentary dessert that we ended up paying for which was fine since we wanted dessert anyway. Ordered the tres leches and that alone was a 2/10. If you're used to Mexican tres leches do not get this. It's more sweeter, and the cake is more grainy. If you're looking for something better in the area and don't want to go too far, Gauchos Do Sul in vintage park is much more worth your time and money. The $170 for 2 ppl with only water and a dessert was unfortunately a waste and of all days on our anniversary. Will not be returning. read more

Absolutely horrendous, why fogo keeps building these called down versions is beyond me. You have a successful model on Westheimer . Why you build these cut down versions is beyond me 1.) seating is a weird bench and chair configuration which forces you to sit next to complete strangers 2.) wait spilled my drink all over my side of the table and my white dress was wet and stained service was terrible. I asked for filet 6 times. Waited 45 min to get 1 piece that was terrible 3.) Daughter found several pieces of bone in her steak she had to spit out. Unacceptable. 4) the grilled cheese was burnt . We asked for a different selection that was brought but with no honey . 5.) small salad bar selection 6 .) no one smiled or seemed happy to be there. It made us feel like we were an inconvenience and. It welcome. Tiny way to do fine dining, definitely wouldn't return. Could never get a manager to come to my table to discuss the issues so we paid and left waste of money and time read more

I finally checked out the new Fogo de Chão on 290, and unfortunately, it was a thoroughly mediocre experience. For the price point, I expected so much more, but this felt closer to an Applebee's chaos than the premium churrascaria experience they advertise. We had a reservation, yet still had to wait 15 minutes past our time. The place was packed to the gills and unbearably loud. To make matters worse, our table for two was wedged next to the bar in a major thoroughfare. There was zero privacy--every single waiter and runner bumped past our chairs, yet paradoxically, we were constantly ignored. The service was a mess. Skewer after skewer walked right by us without stopping. We spent long stretches with absolutely no food in front of us. They never even bothered to ask how we preferred our meat cooked (rare, medium, etc.). When we were done with our plates, we had to flag someone down multiple times just to get them cleared; no one checked on us proactively. I've been to other Brazilian steakhouses before--Gauchos du Sol was a much better experience in every way. Here, the vibe was cheap and disorganized, and the meat was just "mid." For a restaurant that bills itself as a high-end steakhouse, this was a huge disappointment. I won't be rushing back. read more

The entire staff from the hostess to the manager was top tier. Restaurant was spotless and the food was so good. I just got the salad bar because there was so many choices from charcuterie to the candied maple bacon droooolllllll!!!! I could have had a plate of the bacon and oh my god the cheesy bread. Reminded me of mini popovers!!! But next time I will go and do the meat as well. Drink was on point!!! Don't ask me what it was but I had THREE they were so tasty!!

Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. The service was extremely slow from start to finish. At a steakhouse that advertises a variety of meats, several options were never brought to our table unless we specifically asked for them. We repeatedly had to request that servers bring the different cuts, which took away from the dining experience. The delays continued throughout the meal. We waited a long time for dessert and then had to wait again for the check. Overall, the service felt disorganized and inattentive. For the price and expectations of a steakhouse experience, I expected much better service and a smoother flow of food. Sadly, I would not return based on this visit. read more

How is everyone not rating this amazing location 5-Stars! Sid and Joc - these two are like a dynamic duo of service and attentiveness. They provide a high level of service with the Engagement level that you want for a fine dining restaurant. Both of them not only addressed me and my wife, but took the time to actually speak with my kids as well. This location is one step above the rest without a doubt, and we're definitely gonna be back! The cuts of meat are all exceptional, and we couldn't have been happier!! The salad bar was filled with yumminess!! read more

We came here around 3:40 on a Sunday for a party of 4. We waited maybe 5 mins for a table. Service was great. The staff was friendly and attentive. They also offer valet parking here, but I don't really see the point in that since there's plenty of parking in the back. We opted for the full churrasco experience. We started off at the market table which included things like charcuterie, salad, fruits, and my favorite - the candied bacon. After that we enjoyed endless meats from ribeye to lamb chops to pork belly. Everything was great quality and delicious. read more

We went to the Northwest location last night - what a disappointment. I ordered the single meat option - had to ask several times to have a meat server come over with lamb - first appearance was blood red - said he would be back with a medium rare shortly - had to ask again for service - next batch was past well done. I gave up after that. Told the waitress I was disappointed, she was going to share with the manager - who was to busy watching to world cup to come over. My husband was served chicken that was way over done - and the steak offerings were different levels of under and over done. Gave them a 2 because the waitress was nice and tried. read more

I had an opportunity to have brunch during their soft opening. It was amazing! They're still training their staff, but everyone was very attentive and nice. They are very well trained with asking if you want your plate cleared, drinks refilled etc. This location is a little smaller than other locations like on Westheimer or The Woodlands. We were seated by the bar along the tables with bench seating. They had festive pillows for the holidays on the bench. Upon sitting down we were handed menus. I ordered their pineapple mint lemonade. It was fresh, minty and carbonated. Their market table had lots of options from charcuterie to fresh fruit. During brunch they also have soup selections and waffles. I really enjoyed their candied bacon. For their meats, everything was delicious I especially enjoyed their parmesan pork and tender beef cuts. For dessert we had the tres leches. It was super moist and had a torched meringue topping. I would love to return for a special occasion. They have valet but also there's plenty of parking in the shopping center. read more

I liked the overall ambience of the place. It didn't seem too crowded on a Saturday night like other Brazilian steakhouses we decided to do the all you can eat to churrasco package as you all know once you start asking for the meat they don't stop coming, however on a few occasions, I had my red tab flipped over and they still kept coming. I would personally work on that because no one wants to get constantly presented with meats when we are on a PAUSE. We ordered a few drinks and they took a while to get delivered. The server(s) but checked up on us way too frequently and interrupted conversations. Since not just one server was assigned. I guess the communication between them was lacking. No kidding every 10 minutes to make sure we were good. Like ok we are good!!!! Maybe it was just me. read more

I've had the Fogo de Chao experience several times. however, I'd say the one here was a little bit disappointing. Our initial server was very nice and professional. although he did forget to put in the drink order which we reminded him after about 15 minutes into the meal. the meat was the most disappointing. the medium rare cuts of beef were great! Some pieces needed a ittle bit more salt. The pork, chicken wrapped in bacon and sausage were pretty dry so that was disappointing. We ordered the stuff and turf, which included a tiny lobster tail and one crab cake. but that was it little and lobster tail was quite small and overall the seasoning there was probably overwhelming as you couldn't get a real good lobster flavor. The crabcake was well cooked although it hadate too much butter great food would go back. The salad bar is delicious. The candied bacon is on point. Might look at maybe a lunch hour developed to change the time since I went during dinner very clean interior very welcoming atmosphere. It took them probably about 10 minutes to finally get our check. It seemed like we didn't have a specific server assigned to our table. I asked one person and then after 5 minutes went and found another. It finally came out so we could pay. the service was lackluster that Saturday night that we went. I don't think that's typically how things go the case. I'd still recommend. I might go to a different location read more

Fogo de Chão - Mashed potatoes - Brazilian Near Me - Houston, Texas

I came in expecting the same quality as the Westheimer Fogo de Chão... and sadly it did not deliver. For the same price, it felt like a low-budget imitation. Service was unorganized, and they barely brought out any meats. maybe three total the whole time ,and they didn't even ask how I wanted mine cooked. They just served whatever they had, no medium/medium-rare option at all. A lot of the signature items weren't brought out unless we asked, and even then the cheese and honey didn't show up until we were basically paying for the check. Drinks were either forgotten or tasted watered down, and the whole place felt like an inexperienced staff trying to keep up with a high-end price point. Overall, very disappointed. Definitely not the same experience as the original location, and I won't be returning. read more

Avoid this Fogo location! I have visited other Fogo de Chão locations many times and only had great experiences; but this Cypress location is terrible. I took my daughter to this location on August 20th, and regretted it. The meats were bland and the service was slow. The restaurant itself was clean and modern, and their Market Table of salads, cheeses, etc. were good. But overall, I recommend avoiding this Fogo location. For better tasting food, great service, and upscale atmosphere, you might try Gauchos Do Sul in Vintage Park (near 249). read more

I made the mistake of having my retirement dinner here. It was horrible! I paid $280 per guest and had 17 guest. Me and my family arrived 30 minutes before the 7:30 pm reservation. We stood along with the other 17 guest in the fornt door for 30 minutes with it seeming as if we weren't welcomed. I was extremely concerned for the safety of this with people coming and going through the door. There wasn't a previous reservation for the room. I got 5 Seafood towers for appetizers. The crab legs did have a little salt in the pot when boiled but not much. I'm sure salt was way to expensive Heaven forbid the expense of other seasons. I guess they realize this with the lobster because they tasted just like water. They did not even have a taste. After 15 minutes of trying to eat it everyone just quit they then brought out five 2 ounce cups of cocktail sauce for the 17 guess after we finished. That helped to at least eat the water logged shrimp. I've never seen lobster not served with butter. Of course butter is to expensive. We then went and got our salads and sides. Subpar at best. I really can't name one item that was worth mentioning in a positive way. They did bring out about 8 saucers of two 1/4 half pieces of carmalized plantain with 4 French fries i guess that was for us to share. They also brought us about 6 saucers with dehydrated potatoes with a small amount of water added. Just enough for it not to be a powder. It had 2 sprigs of coriander on it and that was it. No salt nothing. It tasted of nothing. I actually let it fall out of my mouth before I realized it. Every 10-15 minutes someone came by with a skewers of meat. With 17 guest I was at the head of the table most of the time the skewers made it one or two people from me before they ran out. When I did get a scrap it was 1/2 to 1 ounce of meat. The few times I actually got enough for a full bit it ended up being 90% fat and grisl. I was basically starving at a buffet that i had paid a lot of money for. Every thing that people requested was never responded to. My son had ask for some more grilled chess. It never came. As I was leaving i remembered that my guess were supposed to get a $25 gift card. As I stood waiting for the cards I noticed a full tray of grilled cheese sitting on the side of the counter. I ask if I could get a couple to put in the to go tray we had gotten for the left over Seafood towers. The guy tells me he can't do that. It's a heck of a note that we couldn't get the damn food brought to us to eat but it sits on the counter for no one. He took it and threw it away. It was like we were dogs begging for scraps. No one even smile or spook to us in a welcoming way. I think they were actually scared. They seem to have cameras more for watching the employees than for security or safety. I hadn't eat that day because I was pump up for this. It was my retirement and it was going to be special. I had my most dear friends and family there and I wanted them to have something special. It's easily the most horrible dinning experience I've ever had. I would eat a MRE before doing this again. A $4000 budget and we went home and ate sandwiches. We could have had 30 Oz. Wagu steaks for a quarter of the price at many locations. I doubt we received $5 worth of food a piece. To say​ I'm piss off is a understatement. I have prayed to let it go but it just keeps coming back. Every time I've laid down to sleep I've had to get up because I get to thinking about it. There was only one waitress and she had her hands full. I think she had other tables also. The skewer severes were also working the main floor even though I had paid for them to work my event. The gratuity was quite large. I wonder how much of it they actually got? At the time the picture was made I thought we were going to have a great meal. It looked good but looks was about all it had. I wish I had taken pictures but I was enjoying my friends even if I was embrased by the situation. read more

This locations sucks!!! This is not the fog de chao I'm aware of!!

The food is good but not as good as their competitors. I was very disappointed with the service. We asked for a spoon for the soup and we waited for 30 minutes for it.

I would not recommend this Fogo De Chao restaurant to friends , family , or anyone bottom line . The service is poor , food wise is terrible . Meats are dry and the waiting time for filet minion is 35 min . For the amount of money that you pay trust that you are better of going to a steak house . Expect to pay almost $100 per person tips & drinks . The quality of meat is below average & wait time is long . You'll be stuffed with bread & banana by the time the meats are served ! Waste of money and very unhappy visit . read more

My husband and I brought our little kids here on a Monday night to try it out as we love Brazilian steakhouses. The restaurant inside is beautiful and very well decorated . The salad bar wasn't as good as other steakhouses, the gaucho's coming around didn't have too much of a selection, the meat didn't taste as good as other places we've been to. Unfortunately we won't be coming back although it's closer to our house I would rather drive an extra 15 minutes to go to a better steakhouse. read more

This relatively new location of Fogo de Chao is smaller than most other location s but they have made the most of the space they have. There's not much room to wait at the front as the host/hostess station is right in front of the door but you are able to wait at the bar. We had a reservation but were seated after a small wait. The location is busy and they were a little short staffed so there was a little longer of a wait for everything (water, drinks, dessert) than I am usually used to but the staff was friendly. Due to the space, there were not as many sides as other locations either. All in all a good experience. read more

It's an all you can eat steak place but all the steak lacks flavor and for $50 per person it's not worth it. The service was slow, and the only thing I liked was the crème brûlée cheesecake and the cheese bread. The steak was dry and lacked flavor. At the end for the crème brûlée cheesecake I asked for it to go box and waited a while and eventually just left because it was taking a long time just for it to go box. The restaurant itself looked nice, but don't judge a book by its cover. The only reason I'm giving this place two stars is for the cheese bread. read more

I came here for the last day of the soft opening, which did not disappoint. It was beautiful and elegant inside, and the staff was fantastic. There is a valet and they work for tips. There is also additional parking back around the building. When we entered there was a line of waiters and managers ready to greet us and check us in. Once we were sat at our table, the waiter went over everything with us and then we grabbed our plates and began exploring the wonderful Market Tables options which were very fresh and plated nicely. We had different cuts of beef, chicken, and pork (parmesan pork is my favorite and you have to try it). I have been to Fogo many times but at different locations of course and it was even more delicious here. The brunch was fantastic and the mini waffles were very nice and tasty. If you are in the area please visit this location and you will not be disappointed. read more

I've been to many churrascarías from around Houston and others around the states. This was my third time visiting fogo de Chao and the first time here in cypress. I made a reservation for a party of 10 on New Year's Eve 12/31 and I was very very disappointed. Let's start with the only positive of the night and the reason they even get a 1 star. The wine pricing was honestly very very good. They did offer us a tasting of the Jorjao Reserve Blanc and we got it and tasted wonderful. Now food wise, the salad bar was very minimal compared to other churracarias I've visited ranging from Chama guacha, Gauchos de sol, avenida Brazil, Texas de Brazil. They literally had 2 choices of cheeses. They were good but the low rating is due to the variety to choose from. The server himself was very polite at first but after the greeting he was no where to be seen again. Everyone in our party got the full churrasco except 2 people who got the indulgent. We wanted to try the lobster Mac and cheese and we ordered it before we got up to get our salad bar food. Over 30 minutes passed and it never showed up. We attempted to find out waiter but he was no where to be found either. We had to ask another girl to please give us refills and to check on the lobster Mac but it never showed up. We were almost all done eating and we finally got our waiter and told him to cancel the lobster Mac because we were all finished eating at that point and there was no apology or anything the only response we got was "oh I heard you canceled it and it was already ready". Drinks refills had to be asked for multiple times, I mean just to get water was almost impossible. I'm not sure what happened but after coming here to post this review and reading the others it seems like this is a trend. Seems like they're either short staffed or not up to date on how to handle simple things such as refills. To be honest being a waiter at a buffet style restaurant isn't hard at all. All you literally have to do is greet, bring drinks, ask for deserts etc. At no time do you have to take customized orders from anyone or even bring them out to the table. After our experience and over $700 bill we will likely not return here. If you decide to go I'd probably try the woodlands or other location and maybe they're ran differently. read more

I was brought in for a soft opening to test the staff and the menus. All I can say is it is over-the-top amazing.
