    It's been two years since I've been here and I want to say that the service and food has not gone down whatsoever. Today me and my wife celebrated our one year wedding anniversary and it was spectacular! To start, if you plan to visit, I suggest getting a reservation. It is currently a Friday and we went at 6:15pm and the line/wait was long and after checking in, we were quickly sat. Ambiance wise it's fast paced but everyone is attentive to you and makes sure you're being served with the best attitude. From here, the server, Ryan was quick to get us water and a drink order. Afterwards the supervisor, Henry immediately checked in on us and got us the tokens for our churrasco AYCE and was attentive with us every time as well as another server named David that also kept checking in as well. Not just those three but I'm a people watcher and everyone was pulling their weight and working together. As a former server who used to work at a cut throat restaurant where no one helped each other, this was awesome to see great teamwork amongst them. My wife told Henry that it was our one year wedding anniversary and he immediately enhanced our experience by giving us a complimentary dessert as well asking us about our story of how we met. Being that attentive and making us feel welcomed is one of the best feelings someone can have as a guest and I appreciated it. Aside from that food was cooked perfectly medium rare wise and just melted in our mouths every time, my wife's drink was a perfect mix of fruity and not too strong which is how she likes it. And the dessert was RICH. Will come again soon! (PS: Sorry for lack of pictures, the food was to good and I was enjoying the moment with my wife)

    Filet mignon board
    Aubree K.

    I came in after my colleague planned her retirement happy hour at fogo de chao. To say I was impressed is an understatement. We had about 20-25 people in our party and they were able to accommodate our large party. Let's start with the service. The service was pretty busy as the World Cup was going on. Our server had our big party and some other tables to take care of, so he did the best he could to accommodate us all. He did come by several times and check on us which we appreciated. The food: happy hour at fogo de chao is phenomenal. They offer a wide variety of menu options to be shared or enjoyed individually. Their happy hour food menu also offered several options for all budgets. A colleague and I decided to share the filet mignon board ($17.50), Brazilian empanadas ($6), and the queijo assado ($6). We ordered the filet mignon medium. It came out and was phenomenal. It was served with a side of chimmichuri and sprinkled with salt. We also ordered the Brazilian empanadas which were also delicious. They had picanha beef and onions inside and were served with a chimmichuri aioli. They did come out very hot, so it is best to let them cool off before enjoying. The queijo assado was blistered grilled cheese served with honey. The cheese itself was salty, but the honey balanced the flavor out perfectly. The drinks: on Tuesday, if you're a rewards member select drinks are $1. The $1 drinks contained the brazil national alcohol (Caipirinha) which is similar to a rum. The drinks were not too sweet which was perfect. However, they were strong.

    This review is for their happy hour. Happy Hour is all day by the bar area. I shared a few plates with my friend. The cheese was pretty good and different. We think it was the honey that made it so good. Burger was good but I wasn't a fan of the yuca fries. They're pretty dry rather than crispy. Empanadas were good and the filer mignon board was good too. It was perfectly salted and cooked the way we asked. Service was good. Our waters were always refilled. We came in at 6 on a weeknight and it got busy quick. You can make reservations on their website too!

    Stopped by for happy hour and was pleasantly surprised by how affordable everything was, especially considering the quality of the food and drinks. The menu had a great selection, and everything we ordered was well-executed and flavorful. The cocktails were also solid and felt thoughtfully crafted (very strong though). The interior is beautiful, upscale, modern, and incredibly clean. It definitely feels like a place that pays attention to the details and creates a comfortable atmosphere for guests. Service was friendly and attentive from start to finish. Drinks came out quickly, though the food took a little longer than expected. That said, the quality made the wait worthwhile, and the staff did a great job keeping us updated. Overall, this is an easy happy hour recommendation if you're looking for a spot with quality food, good drinks, reasonable prices, and a polished dining experience. I'd happily come back to work my way through more of the menu. Chicken Sliders 7/10 - The chicken was tender and well-seasoned. The sauce, veggies and bread really balanced out the flavor of the chicken. Empanadas 8/10 - Crispy exterior with a very flavorful interior. Filet Mignon 8/10 - Tender and cooked perfectly. The Chimichurri was well-executed and rounds out the flavors of the filet mignon.

    Twenty years ago, when they only had a location in Beverly Hills, Fogo de Chao was one of my favorite places to eat. My visit this weekend was disappointing for several reasons: 1) More than half the meats offered were torched to well done. 2) They circulated the same meats (chicken, picanha, garlic picanha, bottom sirloin) for most of the service. 3) When making a request for items they weren't circulating (grilled pineapple, pork ribs), we asked multiple servers and did not receive any of them over 40 minutes. On the other hand, when we asked for the check, they were happy to accommodate turning our table very promptly. In the past several years, several high-end options have popped up locally for Brazilian churrasco. At the same time, Fogo de Chao has been expanding to create locations all over the US and they have not maintained the consistency with quality and service. Despite the higher price tags elsewhere, I will be going there for consistency with quality and service.

    Another amazing dinner at Fogo de Chao Huntington Beach. I've been here several times but had never seen it being that busy. With Prom and Graduation season, it was super packed; however, they managed to refill the market table constantly and beautifully. Looking forward to my next visit, soon.

    If you've been wanting to try Fogo but don't want to spend a lot, here's an easy way to do it. Costco sells their gift cards at about 20% off. You pay $79.99 for $100 value (item #1654048), no expiration. That's already $20 saved upfront. They also have a lunch option called Market Table & Feijoada Bar for around $18. It's an all-you-can-eat salad bar, but honestly pretty good. There are cold cuts like bacon and ham, cheeses, veggies, mushrooms, fruits, rice, and more. You can mix and match whatever you like. Even a regular salad elsewhere can easily cost $15+, so this feels like a solid deal. Great option if you don't eat much meat or prefer something lighter. Right now they also have an all day happy hour menu. You can add small bites like $6 bar items or a $10 burger (extra $4 for fries). We tried the grilled chicken and mini spicy chicken sliders, both were really good for the price. If you're celebrating something, they'll usually offer a free dessert with a candle for the birthday, which is a super nice touch. So if you do salad bar plus a couple of bar bites, two people can eat for under $50. Pretty good deal for this place. If you have a bigger appetite or really want the full experience, you can go for the all-you-can-eat churrasco (includes salad bar), which is $55 per person in this location, or more for premium options. You can also start with the salad bar and add a grilled selection like steak or lobster instead of going all in. One small thing I wasn't sure whether to mention, but I'll share it for context. When we said we were starting with just the $18 Market Table, the server's expression noticeably changed and he quickly removed the meat service tongs from our table. Later, when we ordered from the happy hour menu, he seemed a bit surprised, like he didn't expect us to add anything else. Not a huge issue, but it did feel a little off. Just because we chose the salad bar this time doesn't mean we wouldn't come back for the full churrasco experience in the future. Overall, the food and environment were great, but I do think service attitude in moments like this could be handled a bit more consistently. We still tipped well, but it's something I noticed.

    I prefer their hH menu or var menu as they call it. POV Costco gc gas $80 for $100, so that's a savings in itself. We got the steak from the menu, the Caprese salad from the menu and also the lamb chops. Everything cost about $56 including tip not bad. Excellent quality of food and very very tasty. If you wanted to come here for just a salad it would be $18. We enjoyed lunch at this restaurant and location. The servers are nice and of course don't forget the Brazilian bread!

    Came here for a business networking event and was really impressed! The food was delicious --especially the lobster appetizer (not sure of the name, but it was incredibly fresh and refreshing). The brownies with strawberries were also a standout--such a simple but tasty treat. Our server, Julia, provided exceptional service. She was attentive, organized, and handled our large group effortlessly while remembering everyone's requests. She recommended a perfectly balanced, refreshing non-alcoholic drink that wasn't too sweet, which I really appreciated! Great food, great service--I'd definitely come back

    Fancy and cozy spot. The meats are delicious as well as all the appetizers! The servers were kind although it did take a while for orders or meat cuts to come to our table.

    Strawberry Hibiscus Caipirinha Cocktail
    Robert B.

    Walked in on a Friday afternoon and are goal was to try the happy hour, which is until 6:30pm on all days. Not so bad of a price! If you don't want to wait 5-7 minutes for set-up make a reservation online. We opted for the patio outside as it was lovely weather outside. It seems this is where the employees take their lunch too. I personally don't mind the extra chatter but some other customers may be bothered by it. Our server Yan was great, greeted us and answered any questions. I appreciate his honesty, and if he didn't know the answer he would go and check. We ordered two drinks, it was nice as they gave a sample for a drink I wanted to try and it was a good portion too. The Xingu Black was closest to a stout and my partner ordered the Strawberry Hibiscus Caipirinha, which was a bit more on the sweeter side. Both were good. We ordered 3 items from the All Day Happy Hour, which were the Saucy Legs, Picanha Burger with an upgrade to Yuca Fries, and Filet Mignon Board. The Picanha Burger came out quick, and it was good! We ordered it medium and split it down the middle. The chimichurri aioli sealed the deal. The Yuca fries were different, a little bit more tougher to chew than usual but after asking, our server (didn't know but got the answer later) is a root vegetable fried similar to french fries. I'm not sure if I'll upgrade next time but the burger was definitely delicious. We waited a good 10-15 minutes for our next course which was slightly disappointing. It's interesting because they have the Filet Mignons on sticks rotating around and it seems that they forgot about us. When we got our board, our server even asked us to try a piece as he knew it wasn't up at the desired cooking temperature. We tried a piece and it was too tough. He stated it would take ANOTHER 10 minutes, which was also disappointing. At this point we weren't sure if we would be getting the saucy legs too because it seemed that it was forgotten. About 5 minutes later, the Saucy Legs came out and it was tasty. Not bad for $6. Shortly after, another person (I assume manager) came out with the Filet Mignon board. I appreciate the extra effort on checking in after we had asked for another plate (which I don't do often). My partner let me know that there is complimentary cheese bread, so we asked for it and it came to us. Thinking about it now, it would've been nice to receive it in the beginning. Not sure if it has to be asked now. Overall the food was good along with the pricing. The wait was questionable as the restaurant wasn't as busy. I can't imagine how it'll be if it were busier. We will be back for another try.

    Lentil soup
    Harmonie T.

    I never expected to write a five star review for Fogo de Chão as a plant-based eater but here I am giving this place five stars! Meateater Hubby and I learned that Fogo de Chão offers an $18 ayce salad buffet during the weekday. The flavors and options are unlike what I would get at a standard salad bar. I filled up mostly on the plant-based proteins such as a chickpea, edamame, and black bean salad or the edamame noodle salad. There was also a delicious lentil soup. Other fresh produce included salad greens, mushrooms, hearts of palm, beets, capers, olives, and peppers. Like, fancy peppers such as peppadew and Peruvian drop peppers. As for cooked vegetables, there was roasted cauliflower, roasted zucchini, and roasted eggplant. Fresh fruit included papaya, yellow pineapple, pink, pineapple, and dragonfruit. I ate really well at this salad bar! The flavors are also fresh and colorful! I liked it so much that I decided to visit the Fogo de Chão in El Segundo a week later to bring my dad for his birthday. The one thing that I did notice about this particular location is that there were a little bit more dish options at the El Segundo location. But this Huntington Beach location has a one-up on the free parking, and I felt that the staff was friendlier as well.

    Jay S.

    Honestly, I was disappointed. We ordered the Tomahawk, and while it looked impressive, the flavor was pretty underwhelming. For the price and the type of restaurant this is supposed to be, I expected a lot more. The environment was okay, but it felt very crowded, which took away from the experience. For a higher-end steakhouse, I expected it to feel a little more comfortable and less packed. I also wasn't impressed with the service. We weren't checked on enough, and while that may have been because they were busy, it still affected the overall experience. Overall, it just didn't live up to the expectations or price point for me, and I would not come back.

    See all

The pesto sauce was very good. - Ribeye House Butchered Cut: I ordered mine Black & Blue (aka Pittsburg Style) which can be difficult. They did a very good job with it. Outside had good crunchy sear in most areas and soft tender rare inside. It was generously seasoned topped with compound butter. I subbed the garlic fries for mash potatoes which was just okay. Overall, very impressed. Steak is my favorite. - Picanha: Flat Iron Steak topped with chimichuri. Ordered medium rare and it came out cooked perfect. Very soft and tender pieces. The garlic fries were very good and the arugula salad had a nice blend of citrusy and savory flavor. Overall, the food was great. Lots of seasoning and flavors. We were celebrating a birthday so they brought out a complimentary chocolate cake and ice cream. Very nice gesture. Another note; Service was great and the manager also walked the floor the entire time to check in on guests, run food, clear tables when needed and helped his staff. As someone who's worked in restaurants, that's always nice to see.

Our waiter was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure everyone at our table was taken care of. I have food allergies, and he took them very seriously. He double-checked with the kitchen to make sure my meal was safe, removed anything I couldn't have, and even gave me some great recommendations. That level of care meant a lot to me. We were a pretty large party, and somehow every single order came out exactly as requested. There were no mix-ups, nothing was forgotten, and our waters were constantly being refilled without us even having to ask. Our waiter was truly on top of everything. The food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the steak cooked medium rare, and it was cooked perfectly with amazing flavor. One of my friends let me try a bite of her salmon, and oh my goodness...it was so good! I already know that's what I'll be ordering the next time I come back. The mocktails were also fantastic and paired really well with the meal. The restaurant itself was spotless, including the restrooms, and the atmosphere was beautiful. The ocean views made the experience even more special and were the perfect backdrop for celebrating my birthday. I would absolutely come back for the incredible food, amazing service, beautiful views, and overall great atmosphere. Thank you for making my birthday celebration such a memorable one!

My regular order is the Prime Rib Dip--hands down my favorite item on the menu. Tender beef, plenty of flavor, and perfect for dipping. When I'm craving something different, the Fried Chicken Sandwich is always a solid choice, and The Brant Burger is just as tasty. I usually pair my meal with a crisp beer and, every now and then, a shot to round things out. The location is another reason I keep coming back. The views overlooking PCH and the ocean make for a great place to relax, grab a bite, and enjoy the afternoon. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which only adds to the experience. Great food, cold beer, ocean views, and consistently good service. The Brant continues to be one of my favorite spots on the coast.

The ambiance was so sheik and romantic with lots of little fun touches around the intimate space. It literally sparkled. The service we got from Anthony & Jasmine was impeccable and they were genuinely happy to be there and talk with us. The food was fantastic. Starting with the Chicken & shitake dumplings- I was immediately transported to the realms of heaven and it was an flavor journey I won't forget. Followed by the coco pork dish and then the shaky shaky beef. I got so full on everything, I could only manage a bite of the beef dish, but they were all so very good and I'm happy I have some leftovers now. The drinks were great. I was really wanting a tequila cocktail, (which they no longer had on the menu) but Anthony was able to make me the Jade pendant with tequila instead and it was so good. My husband had the Hattori Hanzo and was raving about how good it was. We both had our own Bye Felicia cocktails as a nightcap (take on classic penicillin). We died happy at that point. That was our favorite. Only could have been better with some homemade ginger candy like the menu said. Overall, we had the best possible experience we could have asked for, we will be back, and soon.

Unfortunately I don't remember the name of the drinks except for the Lychee Martini of course . Lol then we ordered the food. We ordered the pork chop, which was phenomenal and the dumplings too, and OMG this was the best dining experience I've ever had. The dumplings were so light and the sauce and broth definitely made this dish amazing! We also had the shaking beef and I have to say Nathan (the chef) really knows how to cook!! Thank you Nathan for one of the best dining experiences I've ever had! We will definitely be back for more.

It was a late lunch so I called to see if a reservation is needed for 2 ppl. Not at all so we jumped into the car. Such a wonderful restaurant in an unassuming plaza. Lots of parking. There's an outdoor seating area and a good size restaurant inside. We were greeted as we walked in. Btw, the HUGE glass door entrance, I love. There Were a few open tables and we were welcome to sit where we wanted to. Two classes of water were brought to the table and a waiter came with the menu. My mom is vegetarian and I am not. I asked the waiter for his vegetarian dishes and he provided me a pasta dish. That was exactly what my Mom was wanting. Linguine with a light pink sauce with mushrooms and you can add zucchini, bell pepper and broccoli. I ordered a sangria. That was just amazing itself. And a linguine dish with shrimp. Warm, sliced French bread and a small dish of butter was brought out first that was so good. Usually the bread and butter that is brought at small restaurants like these could be just mediocre or not good at all. This was warm and just tasty. We also ordered a Caprese. The plate came out with big chunks of mozzarella tomatoes, and both were sitting on a marinated pesto covered set of basil leaves. That was so good. The combination of the vinaigrette, mozzarella basil tomato pesto was exactly what we were looking for so refreshing. Our entrées were huge for $20 a plate. We had to take 3/4 of it home. That was so not expected. Pasta and the pasta sauce were amazing. Very freshly made. Dishes were made to order only and not sitting around. I asked if they were doing something special for birthdays and I pointed to my mom next to you know, the waiter came out with fresh homemade Tim. They also sing to my mom wish she was so sweet. I am loving this place and will be coming back. Thank you so much for the staff for making my mom feel so wonderful on her birthday. The food was amazing Services amazing. Restaurant felt warm the moment we walked in and so welcoming.

    Avengers Assemble! This is a five star review and a…read morewonderful place that we highly recommend! The parking is easy in a small shopping center,, we didn't even need to use Pym particles to shrink the car to fit into a spot. There is indoor and outdoor seating, so we chose outdoor seating, so we could dine in alfresco and the service was excellent. Both the main server and her assistant consistently checked in on us and made sure our drinks were filled. Service is very friendly and they basically had Spidey-sense for exactly when we needed refills. We ordered their chef special steak, which is an Argentinian grilled ribeye, but with an Italian sauce. We also ordered the shrimp, which is also a fusion of Argentinian and Italian. The flavor team-up was so good it felt like Tony Stark and Bruce Banner working together in the lab. For an appetizer, we got an empanada. This is one of the best empanadas we've had, as the crust was very airy and crispy, but not heavy and overly dense. Excellent texture and flavor,, honestly mighty enough to lift Thor's hammer tbh. Also, ordered Argentinian sausages. Excellent texture and bold flavor. It may not have a spicy kick as an Italian sausage, but quality meat and insides. Dr Strange would happily take us on a tour inside and out of this sausage with his yellow portal openers. Oh wait, we are the sausages, so guess he can't. Interestingly, enough, we didn't think that bread could be so excellent! We are big fans of French and Vietnamese style baguettes that are slightly crispy on the outside, but very light on the inside. The bread here was crispy on the outside, but also light and a little chewy on the inside, but in the best way possible. So it has its own flare and flavor. We asked, and they indeed bake this in-house, and you could definitely tell! They mentioned that they make their sandwiches with this baguette bread that is baked on premise and in-house, so we will definitely have to come back and try it again. That bread is basically the reality Infinity Stone of the menu. Excellent food, excellent service, and excellent ambience! Kinda as relaxing as chilling at the Avengers compound after a long mission.

I think their breakfast options are very good. A little pricey but I had purchase a voucher through a travel package so my out of pocket cost wasn't too bad. Out of everything I tried, I really enjoyed the blueberry lemon pancakes. They're fluffy and sweet. The potatoes were nicely seasoned along and filling. The view is gorgeous since it's right in front of the ocean.

Now, for full honesty, the starters weren't the star of the show for me. We ordered the pork belly wraps and spicy pork gyoza. Both were cooked well, but in my opinion, they were missing that extra "something" maybe a dipping sauce or a bit more flavor to really elevate them. Next time, I'd probably skip those and try different appetizers. The service was great from start to finish attentive, friendly, and everything came out smoothly. The restaurant itself is super cute, and I loved both the indoor and outdoor seating options. We sat outside under the heaters, which made for such a cozy, perfect vibe. BUT the mains and sides? That's where they absolutely delivered. I had the Korean BBQ salmon and WOW flavor on flavor on flavor. Easily one of my favorites of the night. For the table, we shared lobster mac and cheese, asparagus, and whipped potatoes, and let me tell you... those sides were everything. The portions are generous (perfect for sharing with 4-6 people), the mac and cheese was rich and creamy, the asparagus was cooked perfectly, and the whipped potatoes? Smooth, fluffy, and packed with flavor, definitely a standout. We were originally hoping for the tomahawk steak, but they had run out (sad moment ). However, they made it right by offering a prime New York steak for two and honestly, no regrets because that steak was FIRE. Super flavorful, juicy, and absolutely mouthwatering. We also tried the Wagyu and sea bass, which were both delicious, but the real highlights for me were the steak and salmon. Drinks were also on point! We had an Old Fashioned, Moscow Mule, and a few lemon drops including blackberry, passionfruit, and watermelon. The blackberry lemon drop was hands down my favorite, so good! To top it all off, they brought out the cutest birthday macaroons! One tasted like Fruity Pebbles (so fun!) and the other was paired with whipped cream and raspberries such a sweet touch. Overall, while the appetizers didn't quite hit for me, the mains and sides absolutely carried the experience and are 100% the reason I'll be back. I'll definitely be returning for more steak and that Korean BBQ salmon!

I looked over at the host and waived! They didn't get my order correct. Luckily it was a simple fix... I just moved the beans and onions off my plate. My buddy's issue was different. He order the regular ribeye. The wait specifically asked if he wanted the bone-in or regular. He again said regular and added " no bone." He also stated he like it rare but not raw since his last few tries at other places were way undercooked. The steak came bone-in. We pointed this out and the waiter joked, and asked for the regular. He stated you get a significantly bigger steak now for the same price. That's 10 ozs for free. He cut in and the edges were cook rare, but the middle and especially along the bone was cold/raw. The offered to re-cook it, but everyone knows that just dries it out. He ate the edges and took the rest home to re-cook as leftovers. When the bill came, the waiter charged us for the bone-in! We had to ask for this to be corrected. I felt the food was very good and would have given the place a second chance, but when the manager came to ask us about our experience and we told him... he just froze and said that's too bad, I will have a talk with them. No apology. No hey want a free drink or a dessert? Oh well. Good luck

The truth is I couldn't have imagined what an enjoyable meal myself and my two companions would be having. Having flown in from Seattle for work we were desperate to get away from the Hyatt Regency for a little bit better food. So I turned to yelp. As we walked inside you are immediately taken by the charming atmosphere. Everyone was so welcoming! From our amazing waiter Timmy to Misty our chef/owner. Every single dish was fantastic. From the French Onion soup with bone marrow, the Mac and cheese shareable, to the garlic bread with pesto.. But the entrees and desserts SHINED! I had the scallops while the other two had the 8oz hanger steak. Both steaks were cooked to perfection (rare and medium well) and the scallops were so buttery soft they melted in your mouth. The desserts was cheesecake with a raspberry gelee for one and a warm banana bread with ice cream and chocolate drizzle for the other. Even though we were all stuffed, the plates were worthy of a lick (although we restrained ourselves). So if you're ever find yourself in Huntington Beach and want to up your food game, come to this little gem. It won't disappoint. Will definitely be back next time!
