My family and I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Pat during our visit on June 20,2026, and she truly made our experience unforgettable! She prepared caipirinhas for our family, and not only were they absolutely delicious, but she also made the entire process fun and engaging. Ms. Pat was incredibly patient, kind and welcoming. At the recommendation of Catalina, who told us that Ms. Pat makes the best drinks, we decided to give the Caipirinhas a try, and she was absolutely right! Ms. Pat took the time to walk us through each step of how the drink was made, making the experience both memorable and enjoyable. Her beautiful spirit, wonderful sense of humor and genuine hospitality added so much to our dining experience. She was truly one of the highlights of our visit. Thank you, Ms. Pat, for your outstanding service and for making our first Caipirinha experience so satisfying. We can't wait to return and enjoy another one of your amazing drinks! read more

While I rarely ever write negative reviews this one might be one of those. We thoroughly enjoy our experience and service at Chama Gaucha however, it fell a little flat here. The steaks were cold, 3-4 servers would come to our table once it felt like everything was moving way too fast. The salad selection was excellent. Our main server was nice. However, before sitting down, I approached the hostess and specifically told her we were here to celebrate my hubby's promotion and that I wanted a dessert out at the end saying congratulations that we would happily pay for and I wanted it to be a surprise for him and that never happened. This is the first time that has happened. At every anniversary, birthday, or any milestone when I've done that in the past at any restaurant it always comes out when the food is done and I was hoping it would, however as soon as the waiter showed us their dessert menu I knew that would not happen. We all enjoyed the salad bar more than the steaks itself. Ambience was very nice though. Our table servers were good, except just slow down a little. Also, my hubby requested filet mignon, which came much later after asking about it 3 times. It's okay! I've been to the other location 6+ years back and the food and service there used to be phenomenal. I wanted to bring a few guests here, but I don't think I will. I don't like writing negative reviews about any business. read more

I never thought a Brazilian Steakhouse would be a great place for vegetarians and pescatarians but I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered their Market Table & Feijoada Bar menu option. It's an all-you-can-eat salad bar featuring a variety of seasonal salads, fresh fruits like pink and yellow pineapple, papaya, kiwi, and nutritious vegetables such as asparagus, sweet potatoes, palm hearts, jicama, beets, legumes like kidney beans, lima beans, chickpeas, and cheese like Swiss, burrata, and gouda. The menu also features a delicious lentil soup. Surprisingly, side dishes such as mashed potatoes, yuca fries, grilled white cheese, and sweet plantains are included and served to the table by the server. And the complimentary basket of Pao de queijo, Brazilian cheese bread, can be so addictive! The entire staff at this steakhouse was so attentive, especially the super friendly ladies! I had a delightful experience and will definitely be returning. Who knew a steakhouse could be such a wonderful experience for a pescatarian like me! =) Note: Lunch Market Table & Feijoada Bar is $18/pp, while dinner is $37/pp. read more

I have a strong appreciation for Brazilian steakhouses and Fogo de Chao has been one of my favorites for several years. The Katy location is relatively new and I finally made my first visit. The restaurant has a very large parking lot but many spaces were taken and reserved for valet parking. It really isn't necessary but a nice touch. This location was remodeled from a country decor bbq restaurant and the transformation is remarkable. The service was great, very attentive staff floating in and out. The occasion was a special champagne meal with multi course offerings. The two steak options were well seasoned and pleasing to taste however the lump crab was a solid five stars. There was a choice of three champagnes which you select any two as part of the meal. I'm very happy to have the new location within a twenty minute drive and look forward to more specialty dining options. read more

The service was awesome. I constantly had food on my plate, drink was always full. The ambiance was great for the night since it was my 7yr anniversary. The food on the other hand was subpar. The fillet minion was tasteless. The bacon wrapped chicken was dry. I had to use blue cheese to add flavor to the meats to be able to eat it. I sadly will not give this place a 2nd chance. read more

I absolutely love this place and will come back for the happy hour time or lunchtime. The ambience is beautiful.. it's very relaxing, very casual, dressy, business whatever you like. Service was a 10 out of 10. My favorite thing was probably the cabbage. Omg it was so good. Everything was good to be honest. Nice for vegetarians and also nice for people who eat meat. I deff want to come back ... read more

Fogo de Chão - Brazilian Near Me - Katy, Texas

Excellent service, food is amazing, servers are very friendly and attentive, ambience is very family friendly

We went opening night. Service was stellar A+. I genuinely felt like every employee was excited we came and couldn't wait to help serve us a delightful evening! We've been to the Westheimer location a few times years ago, so excited to have one closer. Love that they have a rewards system now! If you've never been to a Brazilian steakhouse, you're in for a treat. You literally get to sit at your table and they bring dinner to you. You have choices of chicken, pork, shrimp, and tons of beef cuts. When they come to your table, they have them cooked Well, medium well, medium... if you really like something and haven't seen it in a few minutes, you can ask the server and they will get someone to come around with it. Complementary on the table they bring mashed potatoes and fried polenta and plantains. Then you get a chimichurri steak topping as well. if you're not sure what drink to pair with it, I would suggest the Caipirinha - it's a Brazilian Cachaça drink that is delightful and fresh. Definitely should order the table side experience. It was awesome. If you're not a complete carnivore, they do have a cold bar that has different salads, olives, fruits, and other cold hors d'oeuvres. They also have a little soup area that rotates the different kinds of soup that are in there. However, if you are carnivore, don't fill up at this station. Because once you flip your car to green, the meats start coming and they don't stop. This is an easy to get to location, they do take reservations, they're great for date night special occasions, or even small parties. read more

We went for the Salad bar lunch special. It is unlike any salad bar you have ever been to. There is a great selection, and they have more than a basic salad and cheeses. They also have good wine specials for lunch. read more

Antonio was very accommodating, friendly and happy to assist. Valentina is an awesome Manager and so very nice. She represents your company well. We thoroughly enjoyed the customer service and food at the Katy Texas location. read more

Fogo de Chão - Valentina was so friendly and welcoming. She helped make our celebration special. Also our server Antonio was awesome. - Brazilian Near Me - Katy, Texas

We decided to try out this new location for date night. The location is nice and they have free parking and complimentary valet parking. The dress code was more relaxed than I expected, so need to wear your Sunday's Best. We had the Surf & Turf dinner special. The lobster was good but small. When you order the special the selection of meats is limited. Our server was nice but it took a while for them to come by with the meat selection. Eventually the service picked up and they came around more frequently. Overall it was a good experience aside from the waiting on the meat. read more

My husband and I came here for our anniversary. We love Brazilian steakhouses and had high expectations because of the great experience we've had a Gauchos down the street. We made a reservation and was seated upon arriving. The atmosphere is light, great decor, plushy velvet couches for one side of the booths, I loved the light fixtures, the overall vibe seemed like trendy fine dining. The Brazilian cheesey puff things were tough and cold. The market table, which is their salad bar, was narrow, crowded and COLD. Everything on that bar, whether it was meant to be cold or not was cold. The only saving grace for that market table was the tomato soup, which unfortunately was the best thing we ate there. The meats finally came around (3 total within the first 30 minutes of being there) were dry, extremely overcooked and basically inedible. My husband called it beef jerky. I have attached pictures. The hot sides served were mashed potatoes, which were stone cold, and the little fried jicama and plantains. I finally asked for a manager and was told there was a customer service rep assigned to our area of the restaurant and so I told her our complaints. They then brought out more beef that was almost undercooked but I was happy to at least have something closer to medium rare. We never saw pork or chicken come out at all although I hear they do have it. They gave us a fre me dessert for our anniversary which was a chocolate molten cake which I will say was delicious and one of the only hot things we ate all night. They did apologize and offer us a slight discount for our meal but we still paid $100 for a terrible meal on our anniversary. I won't be back. TLDR; GO TO GAUCHOS! read more

I frequently visit Fogo de chao but either the woodlands or the Houston location. My first time at the Katy location and it was my birthday and Father's Day and for the price I did not have a pleasant experience. They sat us in the corner table with 2 babies and no high chair for my 2 year old toddler(a table came in later sat right next to us and was given a high chair while our toddler was crying and we were told to "try to have him sit in a regular chair" in the beginning of service). The lights were constantly going in and out while the same cuts of meat made its rounds. Special cuts and anything you were looking for had to be on request. They probably didn't want to walk all the way to the corner of the restaurant and navigate through all the chairs blocking them. The same navigation had to be done get any sides at the market bar. Grinding on guests as I walk by just because I wanted to try some rice was not something I had in mind for my birthday. No refills on water while I was visibly sweating and had 2 empty glasses in front of me. No refills on Brazilian lemonades. No offer for upgrades when we got there and had the menus swiftly taken away because I did have in mind to add a lobster tail and bone marrow but thank god I did not because I know it would have been a waste. I did request dessert since it was my birthday and decided to share that with my sons. We will never be back to this location and are not looking to speak to any management from this location about my experience. read more

Great experience they got us in last minute after our other reservation was not honored. Food was great and service excellent as always.

Very Disappointing experience. The service was slow and inattentive, and the food definitely did not meet our expectations, This place needs some help they may want to call Avenida Brazil for some TRAINING. If 0 ZERO was an option That would have been my choice. This experience was at the KATY location F.Y.I. read more

Date night with my hubby at Fogo is our favorite outing. Here's a little secret: you don't have to go for the buffet. They have a hidden à la carte menu available at the bar. Our favorite dish is the beef bone. We usually order two bones, lamb chops, and a few other special items from the menu. Our bill with drinks is usually around $86. Try the Mango Habenero cocktail! Superb! We cherish our time together and truly enjoy each other's company. A shout-out to the bartender--love the service! read more

The salad bar and service were both great. They charged a party of four the "full experience," when they only had the salad bar each. After two phone calls trying to get corrected, no resolution yet. And no apology for their error. I expected much better from Fogo. read more

What a great Sunday afternoon experience. Fogo is an outstanding restaurant. The food superbly made. This is my fourth time at this particular restaurant. My waitresses name was Alexandra. She was outstanding wonderful character very alternative always cleaning up the table. Just a fantastic human being. If you're thinking about trying this restaurant, it's old Brazilian style food. It's outstanding and you will not be disappointed.. This is a five star operation. Get ready to enjoy a wonderful unforgettable dinner. Bon appétit! read more

Salmon for lunch had no seasoning and was overcooked. Dessert was also bland. Gauchos is much better.

Bottom line up front: Disappointing service by indifferent employees serving food I wanted intermittently at best. Overall, a waste of time and money. My wife and I had New Year's Eve dinner here and our experience was less than ideal. This visit so irritated me; I waited to review this location because I didn't want to write in anger as that would be unfair. Having eaten at other Fogo de Chão locations and on numerous occasions this was the one with the most room and need for improvement. Valet parking is available and self-parking is limited. Bathroom was not spotless, but it was cleaner than expected given the number of people. As usual, for Fogo de Chão, the salad bar and wine were quite good. Service ... Though we were in the middle of the restaurant, it was almost impossible to get the attention of the passadores, our waitress or other staff members. They all seemed well practiced at the "thousand-yard stare" so as not to make contact with the customers. Our waitress took our drink order and then went AWOL. We asked numerous times for passadores with beef or lamb to come by but seemed constantly visited by the gents with chicken and sausage. In the meantime, the two round tables in front of us had a steady stream of red meat skewers visiting their tables. Within 30-40 minutes our drinks arrived, however, that was after we had to ask four different staff members to check on them. The night pretty much went on like that. Between the Westheimer location, San Diego, San Jose and the Texas de Brazil in Memorial City, this experience was at best, a disappointment. read more

Our dining experience at Fogo de Chao was very disappointing. First, we waited for 20 minutes after being seated without even receiving appetizers. It wasn't until the manager noticed our empty table that anything was brought out. We had a one-year-old baby with us, and before being seated I specifically asked if they could prepare beef without salt or black pepper. The answer was yes. As soon as we sat down, I ordered this special piece of meat for the baby, but after waiting for an entire hour it never arrived -- not even by the time we finished our meal. The service throughout was slow and inattentive. As for the food, the value is extremely poor: $63 per person with very limited meat options. The salad bar had hardly anything worthwhile, and there were no grilled shrimp or lamb chops. The quality of the meat was also disappointing -- some cuts were overly salty, while others were completely bland. The bacon-wrapped chicken and bacon-wrapped steak were especially terrible: the outside was unbearably salty, while the meat inside was dry and tough. The only decent item was the grilled lamb, but it only came around once at the very end of our meal. Overall, compared to Texas de Brazil, the difference is night and day. The value for money here is extremely low, and I would not recommend this restaurant at all. read more

As a Yelp Elite, I wish you had the ability to reply to some reviews. I understand everyone's experience is different, but we were blown away by our beautiful experience on Father's Day! We've been to the Westheimer location before, and we are excited to have a location so close to home. All the service was excellent. Everyone was warm, kind, and helpful. The Market Bar and meats are the star of the show. My husband especially loved the filet mignon. They went out of their way to find some for him, since they had a busy Saturday night. They made some just for him. He was happy. I got the cold lobster claws, lobster, and shrimp--Wow! It was perfectly prepared and slid out of the shells. Thank you for an amazing experience. read more

I visited Fogo de Chão in Katy, Texas, and it was the worst experience I've ever had at a Brazilian steakhouse. Honestly, they shouldn't even call themselves one. I sat at my table for over 10 minutes and not a single piece of meat was served. When I asked, I was told that everyone must first get food from the salad bar before being served meat. By the time I called the waiter and decided to just pay for my drinks and leave, my food was already cold -- and still, no meat. Watching the servers, I noticed each skewer only had one or two pieces, which says a lot about the lack of abundance and authenticity. On a positive note, I went right after to Gauchos, less than a mile away -- and what a difference! Outstanding service, excellent food, and truly Brazilian hospitality. Very proud of how they do it right. read more

Went for my 18th Anniversary. We weren't impressed at all. Waited far too long for Tea & meat. No flavor, meat was dry. Not happy with spending $330 for what we got. Will probably go to a mom & pop restaurant next time !! You SUCKED !! read more

Meats are delicious and juicy. Salad bar was ok, a bit messy in the presentation side. I had a real problem with some of the staff constantly running into my chair and not apologizing. As well as dripping grease on my shirt, or dropping pieces of meat on my lap. read more

Received a gift card to Fogo a few months ago. On this past Sunday, I decided to give them a try. First, I tried to order online for the to-go menu, but after trying to place the order, it says unable to process gift card for online orders. So I decided to go to a restaurant and place an order. When I say rude, this is one of the rudest restaurants I have encountered. The food is no better than a fast food establishment. So happy I did not spend my own money. read more

I rarely complain or take the time to write any type of review, but I felt like I had to after my visit to the new Fogo de Chão in Katy. I was really looking forward to trying it, but honestly, the service was a letdown. The table right next to us (literally a foot away) kept getting nonstop meat service, while we were constantly passed over--even though we had our cards on green and clearly know how the system works. Our waitress was nice but rarely checked on us. When we were ready for the check, we waited around for 20 minutes until someone else finally came over--maybe a shift change? Either way, a quick heads-up would've gone a long way. Also, the salad bar area felt really cramped, and a lot of the hot items were just warm--not in a fresh, appetizing way either. The place has potential, but the service and overall execution really took away from the experience. read more

Fantastic Food, Even Better Service. What a wonderful evening at Fogo de Chão. The food was simply sublime. The churrasco offerings were all delicious, but the filet mignon was particularly memorable. We also indulged in the Wagyu beef, and it was spectacular. Beyond the delicious food (and an incredible, unforgettable salad bar), the standout was the service. Every single staff member was exceptionally professional and welcoming. It's rare to see a team work so seamlessly to create such a marvelous experience for their guests. Five stars! read more

Where do I start Wednesday night? Took us forever to get a waiter. I still don't know who our waiter is.. Alejandro, which was his first day. There was the best way to we had. Who wasn't even our waiter.. now let's talk about the salad bar bad the worst set up I've ever seen. It's not a circle. They have food set up to the left and the right anyone that's getting the salad bar is running into each other and on a Wednesday with 10 people was a nightmare so I can only imagine how it is on a weekend.. every single time the food came to us. It was the last piece left. It felt like there was just dying for us to take the last piece with not once. Did we get any fresh food?. do I need to remind you that this place for only been open for three months?. There's another Brazilian restaurant down the street that is nine times better than us. I had to ask for our sides and our bread what you figure would come when you sit down.. well I come here again no and if I do, it's only for Alejandro. read more

This was my 50th bday. I am very hurt that it was so gross. I posted my experience on TikTok to make others aware. We were seated immediately but our service was horrible. Some of the waiters with the meat had broken English and we couldn't even understand what some of the meat was. Took us forever to get sides and assistance. Meat was constant. No issues with that. The meat was ALL tough, un flavorful and some even tasted like liver. This was in no way worth $63 a person. The sides as others stated was cold. Took us three tries to get a check to leave. Asking for a manager was pointless. Times are rough right now and my husband just wanted to take me somewhere nice. This missed the mark 100%. I was so disappointed about the lose of money more than anything. The restaurant is nice. But service and food needs a huge improvement. read more

We didn't get our money's worth. Paid $700 plus with $100 gratuity. Servers are very lousy and keep skipping our table even though the server was already next to our table and they still have meat. I have different experience from other fogo de chao. Been to Katy twice. my first experience in Katy were with my co workers we're all a total of 20. We all have the same comment we're not coming back but I said maybe bec its newly opened but the 2nd time I came back with my family it's the same experience. I feel like if they see your plate still have meat in it they will skip you and the serving is small. I ordered separate for my daughter. One of my daughter tried a piece of meat they charge her full price. It's not worth it.... read more
