    Chocolate lava cake
    Mary Y.

    Delicious dessert, a good place to go for a lot of meat, but i recommend not going during holidays because it is super packed! Something i wish they explained better is the option when choosing to do the all you can eat. My husband and i went with the little more expensive which includes lobster tail and bone marrow with toast. It is a one and first time ordering, afterwards it is an additional charge. If that was the case I would have just went with the regular. But that's beside the point, it is still good. When it is busy , not all the meat will get to you.

    Came here with a work group to celebrate. The staff were a little overwhelmed but the food made up for everything. Soooo good and was able to share with the table. Fogo is a Minneapolis classic. Not my first or last time coming here

    Nice restaurant! Great if you're a meat lover. Good for hosting events! Service was wonderful! Was there for an event! Food: We had apps- Cheesebread, fruit, yuca fries, spinach dip, bread, a few types of meat ***Everything was tasty! Can be expensive, but good quality meat! Has great happy hour- drinks and food! Plenty of seating, only a few TV's Parking: Valet, metered street parking and ramps. We parked at Ramp A= $25 on an event day. Walking distance to Fogo- maybe a block or two. There was a ramp just around the block that was $10.

    Food was so good! Best burger I've had in a long time. Service was great but it was lunch time so it was not busy at all.

    Absolutely wonderful service. By far the most attentive servers I have ever had, and not just for the table-side meat service. My water glass was never less than half full, and they cleared plates like machines. Everyone was friendly and willing to answer questions. The inside space is expansive, and can be used by groups of all sizes, or a casual group looking to take advantage of the bar. We chose the Full Churrasco experience for our first visit to Fogo, which means we started at the gorgeous buffet to sample salads, vegetables, stews, soups, cold meats and cheeses. Then we came back to the table to flip our "we want food" token to the green side, starting a parade servers carrying different hot foods (beef, chicken, pork, cheese, pineapple). You either use your tongs to grab a slice, or the server will use their knife to place a chunk on your plate. (see the photos) My favorite items from the Churrasco service were the Bottom sirloin, the sausage, the parmesan pork, and the pineapple (honestly so good). We sipped on Brazilian limeade (it has condensed milk in it) and ate sides of mashed potato, yucca fries and gluten-free cheese bread while the different hot food walked by. We had three different sauces for the meat- chimichurri, horseradish and peppers (though it really didn't even need it). though we were very full at that point, we ended with a piece of chocolate mousse cake. An excellent and extremely unique dining experience. Definitely worth trying at least once! I need to go back to try their cocktails and plated menu.

    UPDATE: The owner send this nice email. BUT, after sending my phone number NOBODY contacted me yet. I guess they are not serious about this .... NOT GOOD! We have not been here for several years and thought it was time to go again. Friday evening and the place was pretty packed. That being said the place has lost it charm, it now fells more like a cheaply all you can eat buffet place. Certainly not as formal as it used to be. The price is also high compare to other steak houses in town, so not worth it. The meat was a little bit hit and miss but overall not to bad.

    Did the indulgent churrasco over lunch as a solo treat. They are quick to bring over multiple plates of fried goodies to fill you up including yuca fries, plantain and these delicious buttery mashed potatoes? I also opted for the lobster tail and molten lava cake. I got plate after plate of delicious beef and lamb with a few Parmesan chicken and pork pieces being allowed in as well. It's all you can eat and it's done extremely well. I also LOVE the black beans you can get from their self serve food bar. My only complaints if I had some were how rare the meat is cooked. I'd prefer medium or higher but meat here skews heavily on the rare to medium rare side. I always ask for the most done parts but parts of the experience were still mooing on my plate. I've also previously had their caramelized cheesecake before and I thought it was nasty but that's just my opinion as a cheesecake lover. Was it expensive? Yes, it was about 100 after tip for their most expensive offering. Would I come again? Absolutely.

    Went to Fogo De Chao for happy hour and it was a great experience! I honestly hadn't known they had happy hour, but loved being able to dine in without having to indulge in the full dinner experience. The happy hour menu has quite a few options including different meats, yucca, crab cakes, and more. I unfortunately did not get to take as many pictures because the food was just that good! Flavorful, fulfilling, and some of the tastiest food I've had in a while. Our service was great and they checked on us frequently. I love how open and spacious the space is, so although there are lots of folks dining in it never felt too crowded. I would highly recommend checking out their happy hour!

    Can I make a reservation for 2 for dining in on Tuesday?

    Yes online. But first sign up your email with them so you'll get their $25 off dinner buffet promo code. I haven't paid full price in 8 years going there. They send out the promo code about 3 or 4 times a year to my email. It's been going downhill… 

    Does the Brazilian brunch have the same meat selection as dinner? What are the differences between the two?

    I've been there a few times and I can definitely say it's different, It felt like the meat selection shrinks for lunch.

    We came here for restaurant week and had a very good experience!…read more Our server was great. Very personable and present without being overwhelming. The ambiance was very nice too. The place was very busy and had a good energy about it. I had the Jambalaya, which had chicken, sausage, and shrimp. It was pretty good and had a nice spicy kick. A good portion as well. Girlfriend had the shrimp etouffee with grits. It was nicely blackened and on a big bed of grits. Also spicy. Friend had the original lobster roll. He was surprised it came on Texas toast and not a roll. But he really enjoyed it. The dessert was a sinlme but delicious Cookit with ice cream. I recommend for restaurant week. And if you like seafood in the form of things like the lobster roll or shrimp etouffee that you don't get other places. I thought the jambalaya was fine but unremarkable. Not pictured here was the lobster mac and cheese. Which was only a small appetizer and I thought underwhelming (also, I don't like corn).

Every bite brings something different, and the fresh seafood really shines without being overshadowed by the seasoning. The portion is generous enough to share, but you probably won't want to. The atmosphere is lively, the seafood tastes fresh, and the kitchen clearly pays attention to presentation as much as flavor. If you're looking for one of the Twin Cities' best seafood dishes, this one belongs on your must-order list. Fresh, colorful, and packed with flavor--Smack Shack delivers every time.

Our server Kyle was absolutely phenomenal and made my birthday feel special. We had some dietary restrictions and they were extremely accommodating. He walked us through the menu, went over the different steak cuts, and helped us make our decisions on what to order. The food is great and you can't really go wrong but I have to highlight the pork chop, the best pork chop I've ever tasted, and the whipped potatoes. Those two dishes were definitely the standouts. The steak was also amazing, but I think that's a given! This place is upscale and fancy, so expect to spend a pretty penny. However, it is worth it for the cost and I would say is realistic with its pricing and while expensive, it isn't over priced for the quality of food and service.

Street or valet parking available in this downtown spot! The interior is elevated, yet classic and approachable. It feels a bit dated, but I think that is the aesthetic they are going for. It feels like the kind of place your grandpa would like to treat you to :) The servers were on top of things and kept up with our needs quite well! The food was pretty good! Their house made Caesar salad dressing was a big win, keeping things fresh and yummy. The au gratin potatoes are diced, not sliced, which threw me for a bit of a loop, but they were still tasty! The beef tenderloin was incredibly cooked, and juicy! Overall, if you're looking for a throwback/classic Steakhouse vibe, then Murray's is for you!
