This restaurant is highly recommended. We want to thank the wonderful staff for greeting us with such warmth, especially our waiter, who took such great care of us. Unfortunately, we forgot his name, but he was extremely polite and helpful. We were celebrating my father-in-law's birthday with a group of six, and making a reservation was definitely the right move, as it's highly recommended for larger groups. We did the full Churrasco experience, and the meat was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. They also have a salad bar, and everything there was made fresh and tasted amazing. We had the lava cake, which was absolutely delicious. Overall, a great experience and highly recommended. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 read more

Feeling hungry after a nice stroll at the MoMA? Well, directly across the street from the museum is Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse. Just because it's a steakhouse in mid-town Manhattan doesn't mean you have to break the bank. Fogo has one thing on the menu that should fit the bill: Market Table & Feijoada Bar. OYCE for $20 if you come during their lunch hours which are 11:30-3pm during weekdays and 11:30-2pm on weekends. The salad bar was splendid. I must have sampled at least 90% of their offerings. Everything was so colorful, delish and healthful, making me relatively guilt-free while committing gluttony. There were so many recipes I rarely have the opportunity to experience, yet here they were - all at the same bar. I particularly enjoyed the roasted zucchini, pickled tomato, greens with roasted pears, and persimmons. For those who require animal protein, smoked salmon and chicken salad were available, as well as pork at the Feijoda bar. Speaking of which, I wasn't a fan of that section. The Feijoda was too salty while the lentil soup was too bland. The ambiance was elegant and staff were professional. There were a few issues for me personally: none of the staff replenishing the food spoke English, they had to correct my bill twice, and the person who answered my call was scripted and mechanical - I might as well talk to a bot. read more

Food was good, as you would expect from a chain Brazilian steak house concept (definitely more plentiful than overly "gourmet", but still hit the mark) Reason for the 1 star review was the scheme they pulled on us. When we arrived at the table (group of 7), a waiter with a push cart of prebatched cocktail in a jug came over and suggested we all have a shot as we are "celebrating" tonight. Without us even responding, he gave us all a serving - and while not very enjoyable at all (tasted like warm rum and lime juice), group was still appreciative for what we thought was a free drink and hospitality. When we get our cheque at the end of the meal, we were shocked to see a $15 per person charge for the drink. We asked our waitress about this - who was extremely apologetic (sounded like she heard this problem before or at least prior this night) - but when a manager came over after he rudely shouted at us "why would you guys expect free drinks at a restaurant!" and said at best he can take 3 of the drinks of the tab (?!) At this point we were all drained and wanted to leave the restaurant, so paid without disputing further - but cant help but feel we were taken advantage of, and certainly would never return to this or any Fogo location now. read more

My party of 4 visited around 1pm on a Wednesday and were seated promptly. We opted for their $59 full churrasco experience. It included a variety of cuts and market table selection. The servers came around at a decent pace with the meats. They were overall seasoned and cooked well, but a few were on the overcooked end, even when asking for a rarer cut. My favorites were the Pichana (top sirloin) and Fraldinha (bottom sirloin). Overall a good place if you are looking for variety of options. read more

This might be the nicest Fogo I've been to - huge, classy, right in the middle of the NY action. I've probably been 5 times to this location and as a single or two people have never had to wait more than 10 minutes even without a reservation. It is also more expensive than other Fogo locations - about $15 more per person but still an excellent value. People swoon over Vegas buffets but Fogo has them all beat hands down - the salad bar (market table) isn't just a filler, it really is the star with such a variety of absolutely excellent things to get you started. I went once when they had a lobster bisque but its been a long time and I desperately want it to be a regular thing - My favorite cut is the picanha - so I've been opting to forego the "full experience" and just get the picanha - they still bring it to your table and you can have as much as you like. It is a fun and impressive place - but take your time - you can really enjoy the experience or get in and out pretty quickly - as close to fine dining-fast food combo as you want to make it. read more

Fogo de Chão - Always an excellent meal - Brazilian Near Me - New York, New York

Food: 4.8 out of 5 Service: 5.9 out of 5 Ambiance: 5 out of 5 It has been decades since I treated myself to Fogo de Chao. Why so long? Because this is not your casual Tuesday meal. This is a strategic operation. I only come here when my appetite is set to Olympic mode and my metabolism is running at one hundred fifty percent. Back in the day I could eat everything on the table with no consequences. Now that the metabolism has slowed down a bit, I have to time my Fogo visits like a NASA launch. No breakfast, no lunch, no snacks, not even gum. I walk in empty and spiritually prepared. A good friend surprised me with an invite to the Bar Fogo Launch Party, featuring their new cocktails and small bites. When that invite hit my phone, my appetite immediately came out of retirement. Walking in, I was shocked by how huge and elegant the restaurant is. Stunning interior, warm lighting, beautiful layout, and even a small intimate bar upstairs that feels like the kind of place where important decisions get made. The check-in staff were a perfect five out of five. Friendly, welcoming, and smiling like they genuinely enjoy being there. As I headed upstairs, my friend and I were greeted with two glasses of champagne that were perfectly balanced. Not too sweet, not too dry, just the perfect way to start the night. Upstairs, the drink options were next level. They even had a separate drink stand with its own bartender who was dressed so sharply I almost asked for his stylist's business card. She was serving different flavors of Brazil's national drink, the Caipirinha. Refreshing, smooth, and instantly nostalgic. The last time I had a Caipirinha was in Rio in 2004, and for a split second I forgot I was in Manhattan. I almost started speaking Portuguese again. Overall, this place delivered. Great ambiance, top-tier service, and drinks that could convert anyone into a cocktail enthusiast. I am definitely coming back for the full dining experience when my appetite is ready for battle. Highly recommended. read more

I went to Fogo de Chão for the first time in years and it is just as good as when I had it back then! The staff were so attentive and the ambiance was a cozy, dim environment. The food was perfectly seasoned and prepared. The bone-in ribeye was definitely my favorite and I would recommend it for any fellow meat lover! read more

I've had great experiences here in the past and was really disappointed with my most recent experience. We had a 1 PM reservation for brunch and arrived on time. We were told to wait to be seated when the downstairs looked fairly empty, but lots of walk ins came in after us and were seated first. After 15 minutes we were finally seated. Service was slower than usual and we were cramped in a tight table in the far back. Our usual favorites, beef short rib and lamb chops were way over cooked. Service was also a little slow with filling water and clearing plates. I hope this was just a one off. read more

A good spot in the city for a nice AYCE for their deals that they run frequently. Good variety of vegetable and fruit options on top of the meat. Only drawback is that it can get very crowded and chaotic if this is not your interest. Not great for people interested in sitting and talking. read more

My husband and I love grabbing a late night dinner at their bar. There's always seats available either on the first floor or the upstairs bar. We often order the picanha sirloin salad comes with a variety of greens including avocado, eggplant, zucchini. The amount of steak varies a bit but it's always been filling! We also love the burger, the bone and queijo assado and love the option to grab an $8 wine or $10 cocktail. read more

Fogo de Chão - Brazilian Near Me - New York, New York

This restaurant came highly recommended. It's known for its Brazilian steakhouse AYCE experience where they bring the cuts of meat straight to your table and cut it for you. My all time favorite cut of meat is their signature. Other than that, most other pieces were okay at best such as their ribeye and the rest weren't good at all. Some pieces were too tough to each, others like lamb were too lamb-y tasting with no flavor, the chicken was average taste. The salad bar was very disappointing, although the salad (ie ceasar salad) was good and had decent charcuterie pieces of good cheese and cured meats, it often ran out because everyone was only going for those an with good reason as that was really the only highlight of the salad bar. It took time for each cut of meat to come around and rare to get the one you actually want, I just waiting for the signature to come around each time and it only came around twice. Overall for $80ish per person it wasnt worth the hype for me. We were also seated on the third floor, totally separated from the first floor requiring us to go down stairs to get food and bring plates of food upstairs from first floor to second floor, passing all the people waiting for a table, to our second floor, or we could wait 5 minutes for elevator to come. We decided to get dessert and their molten chocolate lava cake was by far one of the worst I've ever had. The cake was too dry and cake texture and no molten chocolate inside the cake, the cake just had a hole for them to pour chocolate into. Not bad but definitely not my expectation of it. If I were to come again, it would be for regular plates of food and not the churrasco ayce and skip dessert. Keep in mind that while decor is nice, seating is very cramped and loud in the restaurant too read more

Fogo de chao is an absolutely incredible (and slightly gatekept) happy hour. The Brazilian steakhouse is well known, but happy hour is a special secret. The cocktails are $10-12, wines are $8, and beers are $6-8. The best part is that bar snacks are $6 and there's a full burger option for $10. Super prices for the location and beautiful, sophisticated ambiance. I ordered the passionate caipirinha which has silver cachaca, passion fruit, and lime ($10). It's fruity, bitter, and strong, an amazing combo. We also ordered the polenta fries, sliders, and empanadas which were all very good. Unfortunately, this is a 4 start review due to the service. Our bar tender was nice enough, but the service was really slow. It was hard to get his attention and we had to reach out multiple times instead of him checking in. It's possible that he had more tables/responsibility than we realized, this slowing him down, but it was noticeable. read more

Excellent service at the midtown Fogo de chao! Rudy was our waiter and was fantastic. Along the staff we encountered were pretty great. We went for Saturday brunch my brother was suggested to get the indulgent experience which included a large lobster tail and dessert in addition to the full experience I had the regular along with a mimosa that was so good. I took my two little yelpers and they enjoyed the salad bar and waffles the most. I'd say it's a nice place for special occasions I was full. The end is come back I didn't get to try a few selections only because I was full. read more

I did myself a disservice not taking pictures when the food was coming around but everything was so good it was overwhelmingly amazing. We came for Valentine's Day and were very shocked to see how long we waited even though we had a reservation. But the place is huge and the workers are fantastic so it's hard to get mad at the wait once you're eating. Once you're seated time doesn't exist. The meat experience is amazing and it's one of a kind no matter how many other places imitate it. The drinks here are fantastic. So great that I forgot my entire purse at this place! The COSTUMER SERVICE AT THIS PLACE EXCEEDS MY EXPECTATIONS OF ANY PLACE. The workers are kind patient and kept me calm every step of the way even though I left my purse here. I got it back with everything in it a couple days later. Thank you so much! read more

Welp, I have 0 complaints here! Went here this past weekend for a girlfriend's birthday dinner. Very lovely ambience and personable waitstaff. It's quite spacious and cavernous, beautifully decorated. They have an extensive salad bar near the middle of the restaurant with added options like rice and beans, lentil soup, and maple-flavored BACON. For the meat rotation, their PORK BELLY absolutely captured my heart. No, NOT the friend pork chops, which is a separate option, but the FRIED PORK BELLY. Lightly crispy outside with an INSANELY melt-in-your-mouth fatty interior goodness and delectably seasoned. The highlight meat of the hour. Runner-ups were the very tasty lamb option, and the baked chicken legs (simple, yet so tender and well-flavored). I believe they had some sort of cocktail special with passionfruit, lime, or strawberry-something flavored options where the "mixologist" put on a little show of pouring and shaking the drinks on a cart in front of the table. Very reasonably-priced for a place like this at $15 each, and they were strong yet delicious. Multiple rounds were ordered. The final act was them bringing a complimentary slice of chocolate mousse cake with sprinkles to our birthday girl as we sang, who then passed it around for us to share. Now, I was quite stuffed after the meal (and the extra servings of PORK BELLY), but one spoonful of this decadent dessert and suddenly, I had more room, and I'll admit I shamelessly took over the rest of the birthday girl's cake, with pleasure. This was a night of deliciousness. read more

Made reservations to come here for my sister's birthday. This restaurant is truly for meat lovers. I've been to this chain restaurant before so it was nothing new to me. However it was my mom and sister's first time. The staff were extremely attentive and knowledgeable of all the meats, salad bar and drinks. The salad bar was nothing special, however they did have rice and beans at this spot which they didn't have in another chain I've gone to. I ended up ordering the bone marrow which I shared with my mom, one word - DELICIOUS. I was honestly surprised. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful, however the tables were way too close to each other and walking around people in their chairs and waiters coming through was a bit tight. I felt like we were always on top of others. Everything was great once the bill came. During our meal, there was a waiter going around table to table making a drink and only asked if we were interested in one. The waiter never said it would be included in our bill. We thought it was a complimentary drink so it would have been nice to have known. Regardless of that, our waiter actually gave my sister a dessert free of charge for her birthday which I thought was extremely nice! For 4 people, our bill was close to $600 so it's definitely something to take into consideration if you're only looking for a quick meal. I'd definitely come back with a completely empty stomach! read more

Fogo de Chão - Inside - Brazilian Near Me - New York, New York

Went here for a celebration with a big group. Nice space with upscale interior and vibe. Buffet style salad bar had good options but I wouldn't grab too much food from there. Meat was delicious, however more popular cuts run out faster and if you didn't catch the server with that skew before he goes to reload, it might be a while before it comes back around. For some reason most servers don't go back to the spot they left off but go to in random patters to different tables so some patrons will get non stop refills while others wait a while. Most of the time the 'yes' and 'no' coster stays unnoticed so they'll either keep offering you everything or walk past you. It also gets crowded and packed at the tables. Prices are reasonable for a city steakhouse. Overall it was pleasant experience, I would come back. read more

Justin and Kelli made my 74th birthday lunch very special! Their service, their professionalism, and fantastic customer care is awesome! The food, ambiance and decor are far superior to the Queens location, which has gone down in ratings (they're a C), the food isn't as fresh, their service needs lessons from Kelli and Justin! This is my new favorite spot in Manhattan!! read more

I've been here a couple of times for dinner. This is my first time here for happy hour. They have a nice selection of drinks. $10 cocktails, $8 South American wines, and $5 beer, and a good selection of food menu from $6 bar bites / $10 picanha burger and many more to choose from. I ordered the picanha burger. It was very juicy and the bone. It comes with a long piece of bone and Chimichurri sauce .as you can see in one of the pictures. They are having a special surf and turf for $59. The servers are very nice and the ambience is elegant and cozy at the bar. read more

The way this message is getting ignored just shows the customer service of this company. Gonna take this to the better business bureau. Went to Fogo de Chão Midtown Manhattan for my anniversary with my wife. Also was my best friends wedding anniversary as well. We ordered the Tomahawk steak for four -- they only brought out one small plate of mashed potatoes and two sweet plantains for the whole table. The waitress never came back once after serving the food. For the price and reputation of this restaurant, the service and portions were unacceptable. Terrible experience -- definitely not worth it. read more

They have a happy hour menu with $6 bar bites and $10 cocktails. We made a reservation for a group of 5 and just walked in upstairs to grab a table. The bar bites portions are for 2-3 people. We tried the sticky legs, empanadas, polenta fries, chicken sliders, and cheese with honey dip. The sticky legs and sliders were the tastiest. The polenta fries use corn flour and are very crunchy. They have skinny cocktails and a hibiscus caipirinha. It's peak summer but it was a bit warm in that area. read more

Great option for group dining! I reserved a table for 20 via open table on short notice and was able to get it. The restaurant has 3 floors of dining space, and their market table aka salad bar buffet is on the Basement level, so I recommend getting seated on that level. My only complaint is the meats don't come around very often even when your card is flipped to green. This wasn't the case in the WTC location. My favorite cut of meat is their picanha and pork belly. My least favorite is their mid sirloin which tasted gamey. read more

I recently dined at Fogo de Chão in NYC with my partner celebrating each other and opted for the full churrasco experience. Having visited this location several times prior to the pandemic, I was pleased to find that the service remains consistently attentive and welcoming. From the front host staff to the servers and gauchos, everyone was friendly and professional throughout the evening. Among the various cuts offered, the sirloin and filet mignon stood out as the highlights and were my favorite out of all the options . However, I found some of the other beef cuts to be a bit too salty for my personal taste. The pork belly and chicken offerings didn't quite meet my expectations in terms of flavor or texture. And the cut of lamb was not gamey enough for me. The market place table has some fair options to choose from. Overall, Fogo de Chão in the Manhattan location is a fun place if you're in the area and doing touristy things in the area / seeing a show nearby . At around $80 per person, I found the experience to be on the expensive side, especially considering the overall quality of the meats and the market table. For someone who doesn't eat large amounts of meat, it can feel like you're paying more for quantity than for select quality. While it is a fun and social dining experience , I don't feel the value of meats quite matches the price for what you get in meats but service was great l. read more

A friend and I visited this location and we enjoyed ourselves. The nicer bar was closed when we had arrived but the available bar was clean , plenty of space and had a great bartender.

If you like Brazillian Steakhouse this where you should go! Premiere meats and side dishes! Location: It is located along 53rd Street. The interior is nice, cozy and little bit upscale. Only street parking. Service: they have the best employees! They always ask us if everything is fine every 5 minutes. Lol Food: The food was good! The meats are well cooked, tender and you can see where they are grilling it. One thing is that I felt like the same meats came to us twice or trice. For the price of $86 per person, I felt like I'm tasting the same meat. I even refused some of them cause I already know that I had it. Probably during our dine in there are only 6-7 meats that were given to us. The side dishes were amazing! I came back for the watermelon with spice and cheese! And they gave us small bread as well. Those breads were amazing! Price rating: 8/10. Quite pricey for the same meats that keep coming back to us. I will definitely come back here because I love Brazilian steak! Just hoping that they will have more varieties of meat. read more

The service here was surprisingly bad, with the real problem being that I basically couldn't get them to serve me filet, and many people came around but I couldn't for the life of me tell who was responsible for our table, if anyone. The full experience comes with a number of cheaper (but still good) cuts of beef but also filet, and it felt like the staff was coached to do anything to avoid serving the filet. Each other cut of meat came around multiple times, but no filet. I asked a waitress for it, and she disappeared and never returned for the rest of the meal. I had to make a second request to a different waitress to finally get one small piece of filet. I know their business model is to get your full on cheaper food first, but this felt more like a scam. read more

The meat was slow to come and under seasoned. The only cut that had adequate seasoning was the Picanha. Service was also slow as we would order drinks and they took forever to come. Seeing the server at our table was rare, and we were a large party. I know this chain is quite famous, but I was not impressed and would not return if given the choice. read more

My husband and I have been to the Elmhurst Fogo de Chão location numerous times and have been to the midtown location twice. It's always a fantastic experience. The midtown location is a bit more expensive for the full experience (understandably), but it's still worth it. The meats are delicious as are the salad bar options, and the service is really efficient and friendly. The servers, manager, and host were all very lovely and attentive. Really exceptional people. It's definitely an ideal spot to bring out-of-town guests and bigger groups. I look forward to returning sometime soon! read more
