Charlie, our waiter, was incredible! Phenomenal service, always checking on our table, and very friendly. Give Charlie a raise!

Great food great meat sweats shout out the Chris. Joushlen is the best server here. One of the best food and service i ever

I don't know why I haven't been to one in LA. It took me to fly to Portland to try it! Wait staff was great and ambience was nice. I've been to other Brazilian bbq places in the past. All the meats were great! The buffet included was good as well though the crème or yogurt was not sweet which surprised me. Otherwise great experience! read more

food: 5/10 - average atmosphere:0/3- fruit? flies everywhere ayce, only got meat, cuz its fresh/no flies. the large main meats where good, like picanha and the bottom sirloin. but nothing to write home about, the outside crusty pieces were tasty but thats only if you're lucky and get the first few slices of a fresh skewer. Don't get the meats that come in whole small pieces like garlic steak, bacon wrapped chicken, etc they are all super dry. my server was amazing, made me feel well served even though i was in a bad mood. took really long to get done eating though as i had to keep waiting for people to walk around with the meats and theres long gaps inbetween when i would get meat. overall not worth $72, overrated af and also this location has a lot of small flies read more

Came on a Sunday 7/26/2026 I love Fogo de Chao. Don't get me wrong. This place is clean and when I came here around 12pm. The place was pretty empty. So I was surprised that they seated us right next to there Point of sale area and a pole. I didn't even think twice at first. At first their voices talking about how many drink orders and food orders that they got incorrectly served to the wrong table, did not bother me. But after 30 minutes of hearing the manager and servers tell each other everything that was going wrong was. Well, it got to me and I did not enjoy my food. It was too late to ask for another table bc by that point I got a headache and all I wanted to do was leave. The massive headache was killing me. So no pictures but if you go here you will see what I'm talking about. Near the bathroom they placed a pathetic table for two by a freaking pillar and next to the POS (point of sale) system. Fortunately I will never come back to this location as I live in California and all my experiences at all the California locations have been amazing read more

Well, remember, I knew Fogo just came to Tiger and so I got a chance to go over and and eat and it is a beautiful restaurant and the staff were just simply excellent Real friendly talkative the food of course is the same quality just delicious food. My favorite was the steaks and I enjoyed the chicken as well. read more

Our reservation was 6:45, got there 6:30 and was seated 7:20. On a Thursday night. The flow of steak service felt inconsistent, which took away from the overall experience. The cheese bread, which used to be a highlight, has changed. It was oily and lacked the light puffy texture I remember. On a positive note, the salad bar was enjoyable, with a good variety and fresh options. read more

Fogo de Chão - Brazilian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

We chose Fogo de Chão Portland to celebrate two birthdays, and as a first-time visit for most of our family, it was incredibly disappointing. We spent over $700 and never received our full 4-course meals. Some sides and desserts never arrived, one person waited nearly an hour before receiving any meat, our bills were incorrect multiple times, and we were charged for items we were told were included. Service was rushed, dismissive, and the manager's only response was a verbal apology. Corporate later refunded only the incorrectly charged infusions, ignoring the rest of the experience. This was supposed to be a special celebration, but we left frustrated instead and won't be returning. The gauchos and whiskey server were excellent, and we truly appreciated their professionalism and kindness. Unfortunately, they couldn't overcome the poor overall service, communication, and lack of meaningful resolution from management. read more

Fogo de Chao has one of my favorite happy hours of all time. I am staying at the hotel across the street so coming here was a no brainer! They have bar bites starting at $6 and cocktails for $10 all day, every day! Service was quick and friendly and they brought out delicious complimentary cheese bread. The bar/lounge area is very large and has a few tables to sit and as well as the bar top. Highly reccomend the passionate caipirinha, the roasted cheese with honey and the chicken sliders! read more

Outstanding vibe at Fogo de Chão PDX, warm, lively, and beautifully lit. Best way to start dessert is with that rich tres leches and burnt meringue. Remember to soak the cake well! That's how it becomes pure velvet. Incredible Crème Brûlée by Regina, cracked sugar and silky heaven! Grateful for Neia keeping every cut of meat flowing nonstop for us! Amazing team all around; they made dinner feel special from start to end. Desserts landed like a finale: Bold, creamy, balanced, unforgettable. Our table felt pampered, never rushed, and always checked on with care. Must say the staff here carries the whole room with pride and warmth. All dishes and moments came with that signature Brazilian hospitality. Regina and Neia truly elevated the night with service and sweetness. If you're in downtown, this is the spot to slow down and enjoy deeply. Nothing feels staged: Everything feels genuine, warm, and delicious. As always, obrigado, Fogo de Chão. You keep setting the bar high. read more

The food was good, but the service was disappointing. Our server, Isaac, was rarely around, forgot our drink order multiple times, and never checked on our table during the meal. He also told us he would bring a birthday dessert for our baby, but it never happened. We still left a generous tip, but the lack of attentiveness definitely affected our experience. The food might bring us back, but the service makes it a tough decision. read more

Charlie was such a great server , made our experience so easy and fun . Appreciate the service

Food was mid and only had 3 choices ... rather just go somewhere else ... service was good

Wow what a great place . Great service and the food was great . I wish I had not got so full so quick I would have kept eating . The only complaint I have is sitting next to the door where they get the high chairs for the kids. My recommendation is don't sit there. I highly recommend eating at this place . Make your reservation and you get seated quickly. read more

We live in a neighboring burb near the new Fogo in Bridgeport so we were eager to check it out. Since I'm not much of a meat eater and my husband is working on some health issues, we decided to try a different approach to our dining experience. Instead of the customary, meat-centric meal, we went on a Friday afternoon for a Market Table lunch. The vibe was cozy, not overly chaotic or crowded, and the service was attentive. Though the 'Table' seemed a bit abbreviated compared to the downtown location, there were still plenty of lettuce greens, marinated and roasted veggies, potato salad, charcuterie-style meats and cheeses, smoked salmon, sliced fruits, and an especially yummy chicken salad. The breads served at the table were the same as usual and, if you wanted a different vibe, there was also sliced French bread and butter located at the soup/rice/bean (feijoada) table. All and all this was a really good experience for us and we plan to do this again soon. read more

It's 11:30 on a Sunday morning, the doors open promptly, and my friends and I walk in. Parking was annoyingly difficult, as per usual, but we anticipated this and gave ourselves plenty of grace time. Once seated, our (mediocre) server fills our water glasses & takes our order/confirms what we will be eating. Today, half the party elects to take the market table only and the others get full churrasco. The restaurant was busy but not quite half full so there is room to walk b through (there are too many tables imo, it's hard to not get in someone's way). I got a little of everything, and enjoyed both a classic old fashioned and a passion fruit caipirinha. The pear & arugula salad was really good; loved the salmon and capers,; the mini waffles were soft and almost cinnamony; beef rib hash was fantastic! I liked the candied bacon but it is very sweet. I'll be back to go full churassco next time! read more

This place is a hot mess but the food was decent lol. There's so many tables so there's a lot going on and it's hard for the staff to be attentive to any particular table so be prepared to wait for a lot of stuff. Like others have said, it feels like they go cheap on the more premier meat options so I got the same rotation or cheaper stuff over and over like chicken and pork as opposed to better cuts of steak. A couple of meats I never even got to try because they never came to my table, and one meat I really wanted didn't come until the very end basically at the end of my dining experience. The salad bar was excellent, and my wife and I probably enjoyed that and the table sides more than the meats themselves. Really because it came down to the over rotation of cheap stuff and not enough of the better stuff. read more

First time visit! Our group went on a Sunday morning for brunch and had a great meal. We had reservations and were seated promptly. Started out with an Old Fashioned, which was strong and good, I also ordered the Market Brunch. Everything was tasty and there were lots of options to choose from! Stand outs for me were the roasted cauliflower, the chicken salad and the cute mini waffles! Salami and cheese was yummy as well! I liked the pork/bacon, but it was very sweet. Service was okay, not overly friendly but nothing to complain about. The dining room could be set up a little better, it felt a little cramped with tables to get to the market table at times. Overall it was a good first experience and I'll be back to try the meat selections in the future! read more

We were sat by a ton of parties. Which sucked, because they were taking all the meat before it got to us. We let our waitress Roxanne know and she ensured we got the exact meat we wanted. She was the best. Salad bar is super subpar in general but even more because they never refilled the bacon. Good employees good meat but going at a low time would be nice. Also parking garage next door is horrible and its not included read more

Fogo de Chão - Brazilian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The food was decent for the price. Normally for birthdays we go to a traditional steakhouse but we wanted to try something new this year. Fogo de Chão popped up in our search when we were looking so we gave it a try. When we first got there we were seated quickly at a large table in back. The ambience was pretty casual which was not a bad thing since we had children with us. One downside was that the location of our table was in an awkward spot by the kitchen that made us feel like we couldn't move without being in someone's way. It was also kind of close to a door and we had some flys that wouldn't leave us alone. We were a very large number of people so we all wanted different things and the set up made it interesting to navigate. Some of us would be waiting to eat while others were being served. The food kept coming for a while but did seem to become less and less as time went on with awkward periods where we were all kind of just looking at one another. Still, with the price point it was hard to complain. The meat was cooked to the temperature you asked for and you could keep requesting if you wanted a particular type of meat. The deserts were very tasty and overall we had a decent experience. The positives: -It's priced competitively -It's a unique experience -The option to try new things -Delicious appetizers The cons: -Asking for what we wanted to try felt awkward -Cuts of meat had a lot of fatty sections -There were a couple of flys buzzing around our table -Some people would be waiting while others were being served (couldn't all eat together) read more

Fogo de Chão - Birthday Cheesecake - Brazilian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Came here for a birthday dinner and turnout to be one of my worst dinning experiences I've had in a long time. Our server was friendly and everything was fine at first until it started to get busy. Apparently his section was across the restaurant from our party so we ended up getting ignored a lot. Felt bad for him because it was his first night on his own. Well I don't eat much meat (only chicken) and mostly eat vegetarian so only two options. A cauliflower steak for $45 or a tofu dish for $49. I ordered the tofu and it included their salad bar/buffet. Didn't get told that they were out of tofu for 30 minutes waiting for my meal. No manager came by to apologize or render the situation until a manager came by and was helping clear plates. I asked about the tofu and she said well we are out. Then explained to her I ordered it and wasn't told for 30 minutes. Then I got my meal/salad bar $37 comped and a free dessert. Salad bar had a lot to choose from but the veggies were all very bland. The mushrooms and corn salad were about the only good thing. Drink service was very slow and took about 15-20 minutes to get your drink. Then it took forever to get the dessert menu and dessert. Best dessert was the crème brûlée cheesecake. Lava cake was cold with chocolate syrup in the middle and my crème brûlée was descent. Then when it came to the bill it went even more downhill. We split it 3 ways. Not too hard but boy was that mistake. It was all messed up and we just gave up, paid and left. I will not be back. Overpriced and poor service and management. Best part of the meal was the rolls. I am gluten free and I didn't get sick eating here but I didn't get to eat much. read more

Wow! The meat selection was wonderful, and the cheeses offered at the food bar were *phenomenal* (their smoked salmon was DIVINE, if you need a nice small starter). They had great side offerings like mashed potatoes, fried plantains, Bleu cheese, and a weirdly good chicken salad. Extra thanks to our waiter, Charlie! Despite how busy the night was, he patiently helped with making great picks for our dinner and had awesome recommendations for our first time here: personality to boot. We'll definitely be back. read more

I love fogo! The food and service here is always amazing. We came on a weekend though, so it was extremely busy. Even if you have a reservation, you still may have to wait a while past your reservation time. But that's just how it is since they get so busy. So just try to plan for that. But this place is well worth the wait! The meat quality, the salad bar, the service, is all worth it! read more

Charleston provided exceptional service during our visit to Fogo de Chão. He greeted us with a warm smile, regularly checked on our table, and made sure we had everything we needed. I also noticed that he treated every guest with the same level of care and attention as he walked through the dining room. He was polite, attentive, efficient, and always quick to help. His outstanding service truly made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Thank you, Charleston! read more

We had high expectations, but this visit was a letdown. For $36 per person, it felt more like an overpriced salad bar with a few underwhelming extras--short ribs that were tough, smoked salmon that was too dried and just okay, and an omelette station that didn't stand out and super slow to get your order. What made it worse was the service: several dishes sat empty for a long time, and even after asking for refills (including the salmon, fruits, and susuages), nothing seemed to happen. The overall experience felt neglected and not at the level you'd expect from a well-regarded restaurant. Unfortunately, very very disappointing. We'll not go there again. read more

The manager is very nice here and truly personalized the visit!! The market table is pretty cool, has a lot of sides to fill you up such as rice, but also really fresh vegetables and fruit that are a nice combo. They also have garlic which was nice. Then the meat starts coming. The garlic beef and the picanha beef was the best. The baked cheese with honey is also very delicious. Besides that however most of the meat is just ok, and a bit too rare for my liking even when requesting medium. I didn't think it was worth $68 but it was ok. read more

I've eaten here a couple of times. I love the food and the service I get here. You feel welcomed. The restaurant is more in the between upscale and higher end that I suggest you wear smart Casual to cocktail attire depends on what day and time you go. Lots of people who go here are the more classier side all dressed up. Highly suggest to make reservations at this restaurant. I have aways left the restaurant satisfied. Pros. -Nice presentable atmosphere -Amazing top service from the staff -Variety of quality food and selection of wine -optional all you can eat exclusive cutting the food in front of you presentation. Higher end feeling. -food quality and seasoning was fresh Cons. -Heart of downtown Portland that parking is not the easiest. IF YOU DRIVE A BIG VEHICLE, DO NOT PARK AT THE PARKING GARAGE CONNECTED TO THE RESTAURANT. The parking garage is very hard for my Dodge Ram truck to make turns and park as the parking garage is super narrow and too many posts around. They make it a two lane but it is definetly not wide enough for two cars lane in that horrible garage. You will thank me for this. -Priced high but you pay for what you get if you want more quality. -Had to still wait for a while even though we made reservations. -you can easily drop atleast $160+ per person if your not careful. Carefully read the menu and price before ordering anything. Overall as many times I have come here I have always been satisfied and it is consistent. It cost more but the experience is worth it. I don't go here as much as I want since the location is in downtown. Hopefully the quality won't change but if anything changes I will update it. read more

Fogo de Chão - Enjoying the food and the waitresses keeps bringing more food to our table. So much fun. - Brazilian Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Service was disappointing from the moment we were seated. Our party of eight was placed at a table just outside the kitchen, but that didn't translate into good service. It took a long time just to get drinks, and getting our meal started was equally slow--even though the Market Table was ready to go. Our original server seemed frustrated from the start and never recovered. About 30 minutes after we were seated, they handed us off to another server without passing along the order we'd already placed, so we had to start over from scratch. There seemed to be an army of employees on the floor, yet the restaurant struggled to keep up with the tables. The atmosphere among the staff didn't seem very positive, and it appeared other employees were trying to avoid our original server rather than work together. One person in our group ordered the sea bass, while the rest ordered the Best of Brazil experience. We eventually tried: Picanha (Prime Top Sirloin) Fraldinha (Bottom Sirloin) Torresmo (Pork Belly) Alcatra (Top Sirloin) Linguica (Spicy Pork Sausage) Cordeiro (Lamb Picanha) Lombo (Parmesan Pork) Frango (Chicken) Queijo Assado (Blistered Cheese with Malagueta Honey) The sea bass didn't arrive until everyone else at the table had already finished eating. Even with our table located right outside the kitchen, the meat service was surprisingly slow. We were frequently passed by without being offered cuts. The replacement server did check on us several times, and each time we explained that we hadn't seen many gauchos. He would round someone up, we'd receive a single piece or two to share among the table, and then we'd wait again. To make matters worse, the table sides--including the Brazilian cheese bread, mashed potatoes, caramelized bananas, and polenta fries--were never replenished without us asking, and some weren't refilled at all. For a restaurant that prides itself on continuous table service, it simply wasn't happening. This just isn't the Fogo de Chão experience we remember from before COVID. We've given this location multiple chances over the past few years, hoping it would return to what it once was, but each visit has been disappointing. The quality of service and overall dining experience simply aren't what they used to be. It felt more like eating at a Country Kitchen that occasionally served premium meat than the upscale Brazilian steakhouse it once was. The downtown Portland area has improved somewhat, with fewer people openly using drugs and less harassment than in recent years, but it still doesn't feel like the family-friendly destination it once was. Unfortunately, after several attempts to give this restaurant another chance, we won't likely be back. read more

I'd happily eat multiple platters of the fried polenta. Don't need anything else, just keep bringing that oh, and the halumi cheese!!! that being said, I think just about everything on their menu is gluten-free! read more

The food was good... when it came. I think it was the manager who came at the beginning who said to request something if we don't get it. Well i requested the filet mignon5 times to at least 3 different staffs over 1 hr... never got it, and then left. I literally just one more piece of that and was done. There also seems to be either inadequate staff vs inadequate supply of steaks, esp the popular cuts. I got plenty of sausage offers. Is this a strategy to fill up on customers via salad bar? The middle was nice, today they even had dragonfruit. read more
