I've eaten at Fogo de Chão quite a few times over the years, and what stands out most is the consistency. Restaurants can have off nights. Service can slip. Food quality can vary. Somehow, every time I've come here, the experience has been excellent. I honestly cannot remember a single bad meal. This isn't a place I visit every week or even every month. It's more of a special occasion destination every few months. Part of the reason is that every visit turns into an event. We always go for the full experience, and by the time we leave, we're completely stuffed, happy, and already talking about when we'll come back. The quality of the food is outstanding. Everything arrives hot, flavorful, and expertly prepared. Whether it's one of the signature cuts of beef, lamb, chicken, pork, or something from the Market Table, I've yet to find an item that disappointed me. Usually, by the end of the meal, I've lost track of how many different things I've tried because I'm too busy enjoying all of it. One thing that always makes me laugh is the famous red and green card system. In theory, you flip the card to green when you want more food and red when you need a break. In reality, after a few visits, the staff seems to remember what you like. I've had servers and gauchos walk by with cuts they know I enjoy and offer them before I even have a chance to flip the card. That's not a complaint. It's actually one of the reasons the experience feels so personal. The service deserves just as much praise as the food. From the moment you walk through the door, you're welcomed warmly. Throughout the meal, someone is always checking to make sure you're enjoying yourself, asking if you need anything, and making sure the experience lives up to expectations. It never feels forced or scripted. The staff genuinely seems to care that you're having a great time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We usually arrive around 5:00 or 5:30, before the dinner rush really gets going. That timing has always worked well for us and allows for a relaxed, enjoyable meal without feeling crowded or rushed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Fogo de Chão isn't inexpensive, but that's because you're getting an experience, not just a meal. Between the quality of the food, the attention from the staff, and the overall atmosphere, I've always felt like I got my money's worth. At this point, if someone asks me where to go in Providence for a memorable dinner, Fogo de Chão is always near the top of my list. Fantastic food, exceptional service, and a level of consistency that is surprisingly rare these days. Five stars without hesitation. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This Brazilian steakhouse delivered an upscale dining experience with beautiful ambiance, elegant décor, and a sophisticated atmosphere perfect for a night out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The venue itself felt polished and high-end from the moment we walked in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The meats were definitely the highlight of the evening -- top-tier cuts, well-seasoned, tender, and served fresh off the skewers with incredible flavor. Every selection we tried was juicy, flavorful, and cooked beautifully. You can tell quality is a priority here. The salad bar had a nice variety overall, but since our reservation was at 8 PM for a party of four and the restaurant closed at 9 PM, some items were no longer fully stocked by the time we arrived. Service was also a little slower toward the end of the evening, which seemed understandable given the late reservation and closing time approaching. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant, but I'd strongly suggest booking an earlier reservation to fully enjoy the entire experience, especially the salad bar and full pace of service. Even with that, the food quality, upscale atmosphere, and outstanding meat selections still made for a very enjoyable dining experience. read more

Disappointing Full Churrasco Experience We visited Fogo de Chão yesterday and ordered the full churrasco experience, which is supposed to include beef ribs, bone-in ribeye, lamb chops, and several other specialty meats. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. We were seated by the bar and began with the salad bar. Even with our table marker on green, the service was very slow and inconsistent -- it took roughly 10 minutes between each plate, despite being right next to the grill. For meats, we only received: * Picanha * Bacon-wrapped steak * Bacon-wrapped chicken * Chicken leg * Parmesan pork * Sausage We never received beef ribs, bone-in ribeye, or most of the specialty items advertised in the full churrasco. We requested these multiple times to both the gaucho and our server, but they never arrived. Lamb chops finally showed up over an hour later, long after we were already full. Most of the cuts were dry. Our server, Aiden, was friendly and did his best, but my girlfriend never received her drink, asked for another side of mash which we never got . At that point, we had to downgrade our meal since so many items were missing. Overall, this was one of the most disappointing Brazilian steakhouse experiences we've had. Many of the promised cuts of meat were never offered, and the service left the full churrasco feeling incomplete and frustrating. read more

My family and I visited on a Sunday afternoon. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is beautiful[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and the bar with the sides included a lot of variety for fruits, salads and veggies. I ordered the salmon which was a bit dry. My son ordered the lamb, which he said was incredible. Our waitress was very kind and attentive. read more

Finally tried Fogo de Chão Providence Dim lighting, beautiful space, and a very elegant, intimate vibe. The salad bar and sides were stunning, and I was ready for all those Brazilian steakhouse flavors But the experience didn't quite deliver. Despite the green card being up, the table was skipped a few times before I was finally noticed. Standouts: the fried cheese with honey and the cheesy bread absolute hits. Overall, not my favorite visit. 6/10. Still giving the edge to Texas de Brazil for making sure you leave full and happy. Providence, RI read more

As I had hoped, Fogo de Chao once again has reached 5-star status with this more than satisfied customer. A friend and I enjoyed a spectacular full Churrasco experience for lunch yesterday to celebrate my 70th birthday. In addition to the delicious offerings on the Market Table, the meat carved table side was moist, succulent and cooked to perfection. The cheese bread, garlic mashed potatoes, crispy polenta and fried bananas were great extras. They also offered a lovely Argentinian Red Blend for $8 a glass, a great bargain. Full disclosure... it was so good I had two glasses! And Lucas treated us to a very special birthday dessert. I'm so glad Fogo de Chao is back to the top of my list of favorite restaurants. read more

Between the undercooked cold bar, under-seasoned protein choices, never ending sound of the cocktail shaker, the lengthy wait time for service...we won't be back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Honestly, we were sat next to a table of kids, and a solo diner who wouldn't stop joining our conversations.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The red meat was flavorless, pork chops dry, overcooked poultry...the roaming booze table showed up at the end of our meal and said, "At least I came by!" Rude. Then during private moment, the bill was slapped on the table. Hard pass. read more

We dined here for Thanksgiving and overall was a fair experience for most of it. Oddly they seemed to be pushing chicken and pork 4-5x more than they had beef options which were very limited. The meat isn't really worth the expensive price of $65 per person anymore. Many meats were either rare or over well done, seems like the cook times/temps are rather inconsistent. A lot of the meat was over salted. Things were generally fine until we were getting ready to leave. We used the restroom and went back to our table (only 2-4 minutes later) to find the entire table cleared of everything and all of our coats REMOVED. Extremely rude and inhospitable and felt like we were being kicked out. Had to ask for our coats back. Of course they did that after we left a tip. Won't be coming back here again! read more

It took some time for us to see a waitress once we were seated for our reservation but our food was excellent. The gauchos were attentive and accommodating and the food on the cold bar was very good. Our service however was awful. The waitress brought our drinks and sides and then was GONE. Two different managers came by at some point to ask if we needed additional meats to come by and one asked if we wanted more cocktails after we had been sitting there about 15 minutes after being done. I had to ask for the check. Some server from another table dropped it off but didn't take our payment. After another 10 minutes I got up with my check to pay it at the bar with one of the managers. I told him that our waitress hadn't been seen since our initial drinks were delivered and he said "oh, sorry". No sort of explanation that she left or they missed that our table went unattended. We eat out very often at good restaurants, we're patient and understanding of staffing shortages and not in a rush, but I have never once had to pay my table check at the bar because no one waited on us. I wasn't looking for a discount or anything, just some acknowledgment that they realized they'd forgotten us. I left a light tip only because of the gauchos but the table service was truly the worst experience we've had at a restaurant in a very long time. On the way home we wondered how long they would have let us sit there if I hadn't paid at the bar! read more

We came here for a wine and fine cuts tasting event and really enjoyed the experience. There was a nice variety of appetizers, which we appreciated. The tasting included two to three different meat options along with four glasses of wine. It felt like a good amount of food and wine for the price of $49 per person. The service was attentive and friendly. Overall, it was a very good experience. read more

We had a great experience, and plenty of great food. The service was really friendly , all staff had a pleasant remark while checking in with us- which they did often to make sure we had everything we needed. We only got Dimitri's and Johnathan's name, but they and everyone else was awesome. I was impressed with the quality of food at the Market Table, but obviously the meat was the star of the show. Obviously the red meats are amazing, but the grilled cheese, the pork chop, and pork belly were fantastic- don't pass on these! We did not upgrade any menu items, but I wonder if they had a sauce sampling, if i would have. (Yes is the answer to that) [[HIGHLIGHT]]This location is stunning, and I didn't notice one table I wouldn't have been willing to sit at.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, amazing experience snd great food! read more

Food? YES. Service? YES! Ambiance? Absolutely! We've been to other Fogo de Chão locations, but this one is our favorite! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The modern decor and welcoming vibe set the tone for an incredible dining experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The meat? All of it, cooked to perfection. Our server, Kai, was warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home. We also had a great experience with Lauren, who consistently checked in to clear plates and help with anything we needed; top-notch service all around. Even when some of our family members forgot to flip their cards, the servers didn't miss a beat, continuing to offer fresh, delicious cuts with a smile. The Market Table was generously stocked with a fresh variety of options. The bacon was next-level delicious. It was a fabulous meal, and we can't wait to come back! read more

Fogo de Chão - Bar area. - Brazilian Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Noted as one of my favorite restaurants. They have an amazing array of food to choose from. The bite sized cheese breads that are brought to the table are sooo good. You have the option to order individual meals off their menu or do the unlimited experience option. They bring out picanha, top sirloin, bacon wrapped steak, pork, pork belly, spicy pork sausage, Brazilian cheese, and more. This experience is $54 usually but sometimes goes on sale. There is a market stand that has salads, cheeses, fruits, and other items that pair well with the main course. The service is always top tier with the servers professionalism. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience is calm with and dimly light area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I always recommend this place when someone wants a fancy dine in experience. read more

I have heard friends from across the country rave about this chain. Let's start with the good - phenomenal wait staff!! Our glasses rarely went below 1/2 full. Everyone asked if we needed anything - salad bar options were ver diverse. The bad For context we went at 5p on Friday. - although the salad bar had many options, it looked like everything had been out since lunch. The smoked salmon which should stay chilled had hard inedible pieces, which made me wonder if I'm going to get food poisoning. The oranges were shriveled up. Cucumbers were warm and limp, many items were Lukewarm rather than hot or cold. - the variety of meat options wasn't very robust until after 6pm. That's an hour of steak, 1/2 cooked medium - well and we are more rare! Not worth $70/person. I would be more interested in coming for lunch and just getting the fresh salad bar for $20. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was A1. Mouth watering and worth every bit of the money and experience. The greeter and matra'd was great how ever the server was very impatient. Served the food without flipping the coaster card so felt rushed through the experience of enjoying the appetizer and salad. However the grewter and the matra'd were so pleasant and attentive it made up for everything. Great food great experience. Highly recommend. It was my 1st date. Thank you boo! read more

Friendly staff. Excellent service from the host and the bartender named Vaith. (Not a typo!) The bar lunch menu is affordable. I had the burger, which was very juicy...and greasy too if I'm being honest. The plantain fried were good, not great. The sauce they came with didn't add much. Great presentation though. 3 stars for food, 4 stars for value, and 5 stars for service. read more

When I go to Fogo de Chão, I am there for the churrasco experience - ALL THE MEATS! Therefore, I restrict myself to just several items from the Market Table & a couple of trips back for the spicy candied bacon. So to celebrate the end of hubby's birthday week, I invited him to Fogo de Chão to fully experience the Market Table. We went on a Thursday & there were only three tables (including us). We asked to be seated close to the Market Table since we were making it the focus of our meal. Jonathan came by to say hi - we had met at previous dining excursions. Since the last time, he was promoted & continues to be a wonderful ambassador of the Fogo de Chão experience! Our waiter, Taj, came by to introduce herself & see if we needed anything. Nope - just give me a plate! And we were off to the Market Table. I went directly for a small plate of the spicy candied bacon (the first of four rounds... no shame in my game!) & a plate of meat, cheese & hummus. YUMMM! I followed it up with a plate of eight tastes of the different salads. In all the years of eating at Fogo de Chão, I have never once tried the Fogo feijoada (traditional black bean stew with sausage) served with rice. That was definitely a mistake on my part - it was delicious! I could also eat my weight in Pão de Queijo - the addictive, cheesy treat that is Brazilian cheese bread. The garlic mashed potatoes were perfection - just the right amount of garlic & a super smooth consistency. I also liked the polenta fries sprinkled with the parmesan cheese. I am not really into plantains - too sweet for me but I know that other people say they are awesome. Hubby was talking with Jonathan about the brunch options on the weekend. Since the restaurant was not busy, he offered to have the chef make hubby an omelet. Hubby joyfully accepted! He asked for three different meats, cheese, mushrooms, spinach & garlic. It didn't photograph well but it was one of the best omelets that we have ever eaten! Last but not least, since we were celebrating hubby's birthday, Taj offered a complimentary dessert. We selected the Tres Leches Cake - vanilla sponge cake soaked in three types of milk, topped with toasted meringue & mixed berries. Since we ate our way through the entire Market Table, four rounds of spicy candied bacon AND an omelet, we asked for the dessert to go. Taj wouldn't let us leave without lighting a candle on a happy birthday plate which was so sweet of her. We tried the cake later at home - it was delectable! What is the best part of the Market Table for a weekday lunch? The experience is $18 per person. WHAT?!?! That is seriously the best deal in town. Thank you Jonathan & Taj for making us feel special & for helping to celebrate hubby's birthday! We will be back soon for ALL THE MEATS!!! read more

Got the Fogo de Choa experience where the market table was open as sides, the table is given more sides of mash potatoes, plátano, cheese bread, and waiters come around serving different meats and offering you a delicious selection. Easy enough to understand that if you tag your table green, your offered different meats, and red is no one will offer while you eat. Waiters and staff were so on top of us, it was great. When food was taking a bit, the staff let me know it was on its way. When I shared my dads birthday dinner, they added a birthday card, where he got a complimentary desert! It was great! The deserts are a good side and I recommend sharing because it's a good portion. Meats were delicious! Everything was speedy, neat, and I enjoyed the great service. I will use this place for another birthday celebration with family! read more

This Brazilian steakhouse is not a restaurant--it's a meat marathon. Just when you think you're full, a smiling server named Shyia appears out of nowhere holding a skewer like, "But have you tried this one?" And suddenly your plate is full again and your belt is negotiating its final notch!!!! read more

I was excited when I saw that Fogo de Chao was having a wine dinner....I had yet to get there and I love a perfect wine and food pairing! So going to try it I could do both! The space is beautiful! I was impressed when I walked in! We came early to have a cocktail before the dinner started. I chose the Cucumber Basil Smash....it was delicious! Refreshing and light! I also stole a sip of the Premium Caprihania (or however you spell that!) and that was also on point! The reviews on the old fashioned were also good! We then went into the private space for the wine dinner. Our server was absolutely amazing! He was attentive, friendly and authentic! The food and wine were all delicious!! We sampled the cheese bread and then a charcuterie board....followed by a lobster taco, corn chowder and then all the meats! I will definitely be back for dinner and cannot wait for the next wine dinner! read more

First time, but the experience was not great. I love Brazilian steak houses and was hoping this place would be a hit. We came for our anniversary at 8:30pm reservation. Restaurant says it close at 10pm. We were the only ones in the restaurant by 9pm. The food was delicious and the server was polite but we felt rushed. They kept coming with meats (a little too quick) and asked what else we wanted because they wanted to close. I did not enjoy it because in my mind i had to hurry up and eat so they can close up. My husband was eating so fast so we can get out their way. We paid $200+ for two ppl not including tip and didn't feel it was worth it. My recommendation is to not take reservations one hour prior to close if you don't want the service. read more

First time at this Providence location. Beautiful and welcoming ambiance as I headed right to the bar for dinner. Was greeted by a friendly bartender. Started me off with water and then I ordered a strawberry hibiscus caipirinha. Sweet, delicious and refreshing with lots of fruit slices. Put in my food order, polenta fries and braised short ribs sliders with caramelized onions. Took a while but there were a couple of televisions to keep me focused. The food was served hat and delicious. The fries were a new taste to my pallet and the sliders were tender and tasty on fresh brioche buns. Did not order dessert but they do have a variety of choices. The bar food is $6-$10 so worth it. read more

Have been here twice. It's worth the money to try once or twice, but now I probably would just get a real nice steak at the market to put on the grill. Be strategic when going in- do NOT touch those rolls (put them in your purse ;) jk) as tempting as they are, go EASY on the salad bar...wait for meats, don't get full- you can graze on the other stuff later. But the problem is while most of the meats are decent...I only want the grilled chicken or the piece of pork or sausage ONCE...I want the filet mignon and the ribeye one hundred times. So...be greedy! If the cut you like comes around, get on your hands and knees and beg for more. Especially if it doesn't come around again- the ribeye came out like once an hour the first visit. The second visit- and close to the time limit, the waiter came by and asked if we wanted dessert? told him no! we were waiting for ribeye...and then it did come out. Drinks and Service are good. read more

Beautiful interior. Excellent service (withe one caveat that it took awhile to get my one glass of wine.) The employees were very friendly and on point with the customer needs. Where did it fall flat for me? The meat wasn't very flavorful. It was a plenty but just needed Seasoning! The most flavorful meat I tried was the garlic flank steak and it was the fatty pieces that were bursting with flavor! The chicken wrapped in bacon was really dry The side table marketplace had a lot of options. I am a little picky so I didn't splurge a lot on the pre-made salads. i went for cheeses, bread, salad and soup. read more

Overrated. The food wasn't bad, but the experience fell short at the Providence Mall location. The first thing that was off was when I called to make a reservation I noticed that the AI system only offered to speak English and Spanish, but not Portuguese. It's the first time I've heard of a Brazilian Steakhouse where a service wasn't being offered in Portuguese (this ended up being a sign). Making the reservation was easy, and the AI asked if the dinner was for a special occasion and I mentioned it was for a birthday. We were seated fairly fast, asked for the $65 Full Churrasco then went to the salad bar, which doesn't have many of the options that a traditional Brazilian steakhouse has, just a bunch of different types of salads. After we got salad, there were a number of different meats that came by during the first ten minutes but after that the service started to drop off. Also, it seems like the gauchos were trained to only cut two pieces for you at a time before moving on. Also something I'm not used to at an authentic Brazilian steakhouse. Not sure how their system works, but we had to ask two different waitstaff for the check, while a third ended up bringing it back to us. To top it off, no one asked whose birthday it was before paying the check . That was the whole reason we were there. The food wasn't bad, but trying to sell it as more upscale is where they dropped the ball here. No reason for me to return. I'll stay way from the franchise Brazilian steakhouses. read more

Holy cow ! Went here not too long ago with a large group for my nephews birthday.. beautiful inside, service was impeccable.

Solid five stars all around! We had to try this place out and couldn't be happier! The restaurant was super clean and absolutely stunning, the staff was the best of the best, and the food was simply amazing! Good luck trying to pick out a favorite, because everything is delicious. But the garlic steak, and the grilled cheese were among my favorites, as was the cheese bread. The tres leches cake was among the best as well. Every single employee was friendly, and more than happy to give recommendations. It honestly couldn't have been a better experience! The only thing I would have liked to have added to the experience is the table side caprinas. But the drinks are equally as amazing as everything else. read more

We were excited to see this chain restaurant pop up in Providence and glad to see something occupy this space in the mall after sitting vacant for several years. The restaurant is beautiful and features a bar area, outdoor seating, a two level main dining room, and a private dining area that would be a great place to celebrate a party or event. We went for lunch mostly because it's cheaper ($45.50) than dinner ($62.50) for the same experience and my kids don't eat nearly enough to justify spending the extra money. lol They have extra bougie items that you can add to your meal like a $109 seafood tower appetizer or a $150 Wagu ribeye main, but we went for the rodizio experience and were not disappointed with that decision. Once we were seated, our server came over to introduce herself and give us an overview of the menu. We ordered some drinks, I got the premium caipirinha and the kids got the Brazilian lime aid - both were refreshing and delicious. We went up to look at the expansive market table and filled up a plate of delicious side dishes to try and headed back to our table. They brought the most delicious cheese bread to the table, along with mashed potatoes, crispy polenta strips, and sautéed bananas. Once we flipped our circles to green, indicating that we were ready for the parade of roasted meat to arrive at the table, we sampled just about everything they brought by - various cuts of beef, pork, chicken, lamb, and chorizo, it was all delicious. The service was exceptional, there were dozens of employees working together to make sure that you have everything that you need before you need it. Was it an expensive lunch? Absolutely. Was it worth it? Absolutely. Will we go again? Absolutely. Below are some Key Menu Items and their descriptions, these items are all you care to enjoy, just ask for a clean plate when you're ready for one!

We heard about Fogo de Chao from a friend that raved about the restaurant. We had the rare opportunity to go since we were at providence place mall for shopping. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When entering the restaurant the atmosphere looked nice and welcoming and upscale.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Then I looked over to the buffet, I said wait this is not a sit down meal? They explained that the meat is brought out to the table but the salad and sides are from the salad bar. Already I was disappointed as I saw a lot of people handling the food like it was a college cafeteria. We sat down and ordered the Churrasco experience. There was four of us and each ordered the same for the full experience. We went to salad bar first and most of the salad was picked over and there was fruits, cheese and a soup station. It did not look appetizing, especially with the handling of strangers breathing on everything. We returned to our table and waited for the "experience" of meats to arrive. It was slow, one skewer of chicken wrapped in bacon and then a 10 minute wait for the next round. Ours plates sat bare! A waiter came over to ask if we needed anything and we asked for filet mignon to come around, he said he would ask them. One came out but when it was time for our table only one piece was left for us which we gave to our hungriest family member. Another 5 minutes of waiting and bottom sirloin was passed around, we passed and explained we were waiting for the filet. Then top sirloin and we added that to our plate, but it was rubbery and cold. We finally had the filet mignon come to our table and we doubled down on it so we would have enough to eat and not wait longer. The meat was good and tasty. Then all of sudden they started to come out all at once, Chorizo, chicken, steak, lamb. Most of them were tasty and had good flavor. I rated this a 3 because the overall experience was a dud for the price and hype. I could have gone to a smaller Brazilian Rodizio and received better service, better price with tasty meat options.

we have been here almost every week in the summer. there's a reason this restaurant has a bunch of locations across the nation! fogo de chão has been consistent almost every time we came. we've come during very slow afternoons and very busy evenings and the service and quality of food has been consistent almost every time. there was a time when it was very busy and some of my food didn't arrive at all but the staff apologized and got it done at the end. when this happens just keep checking in with them the quality of the meats are great. my husband is a red meat enthusiast and he always gets his money's worth. staff tries to give and offer us more food/meat slices, checking in with us every so often, and the side dishes are delicious also and are refillable. the bathrooms are clean. the market table is my personal favorite as i happen to like the fruits and smoked salmon a lot lol! the salads are fresh but the rice can be 50/50, sometimes it's fresh sometimes it tastes like it's been there all day. nonetheless everything else tastes delicious and i would not hesitate to bring out of town guests here! don't be afraid to ask for what you want, they will try to accommodate as much as they can. 10/10 food and service across the board, and would come back again! will try other locations in the future :) read more
