    Salad bar
    Lizzie S.

    Came here with 4 work friends (1 vegetarian) on a Monday night after a conference at Moscone. We had no reservation, and were seated promptly. I've never been to Fogo de Chao. I didn't know what to expect besides steakhouse. The interior is a vibe. It's dark and upscale. The large salad bar takes center stage. I wanted to be healthy, but it was hard--I filled up my plate with a lot of salad (they also had deli meats, cheeses, soups, olives, and more--great variety) when I also wanted to save room for meat! At first, servers slowly came out with different kinds of meat. They offered some to us, and cut them tableside and put them on our plates. After a while, it seemed like they just kept coming out and I immediately filled up. 1 person in our party is vegetarian and he ordered the tofu. He asked our server if he liked the tofu and the server laughed (because who comes here and orders tofu?) The tofu, by the way, lacked flavor. Anyways, service was wonderful. We shared a cheesecake at the end which was fun. Will be back for a date night. So much meat! And the salad bar! It's an experience!

    This is a bar happy hour update- Shrinkflation? The $16 beef rib for happy hour is half the size that it was last year. I have all the photos from every visit through the years, can see a big difference. The presentation of this item was disappointing this recent visit. It was super salty. I appreciated all the food came out fast . Props to bar staff doing their thing because they have to make drinks for the whole restaurant AND serve the bar patrons for ordering food and collecting payment. Sadly they were so busy I waited so long for service like paying my tab or for someone to check up on us. After they finished making drinks They were chatting with each other and totally forgetting that I asked for and was waiting for something it was frustrating

    The salad bar
    Amber S.

    First time to this Brazilian Steakhouse. It has a much better salad bar selection than the ones I have been to in the past. They have less options of meats to pick from though . The drink I had, which was part of the all day happy hour, was very good. The gentleman helping me was good which will reflect in my tip. Due to them forgetting my premium offer (lump crab cake) I received it for free. That was a nice correction to a wrong. One huge thing to me that I did not like was how the manager was around the whole experience and he went and talked to all the tables except for me. That was very offensive to me and it was not even because I was a solo table because he spoke with 2 other solo tables. Being a native San Franciscan foodie this experience was disappointing to me. I know now that I will not be returning due to my experience and sharing details to my followers. Service is one of the most important aspects of a meal for me (followed by good quality food very closely behind that). You live and you learn.

    I celebrated my graduation this past weekend we could hear at this beautiful restaurant. The food here is always amazing. I always come here for special occasions and the service is top-tier. I tried also their lychee and peach Bellini, which was really good. And what a better way to run into a warrior player at the restaurant, which was really cool as well to put on top of my graduation.

    I had high expectations for Fogo de Chão given its premium price point, but unfortunately, the experience did not fully meet them. While the quality of the food was good overall, the variety of meats served to our table felt somewhat limited. We were offered the same cuts repeatedly, and some items, such as the chicken hearts, were only brought out after we specifically requested them. One of the standout cuts of the evening was served around 9:00 PM, by which time we were already quite full and unable to enjoy it as much as we would have liked. Additionally, the chocolate molten cake was underwhelming and did not live up to expectations. I've had more satisfying experiences at other Brazilian steakhouses, especially considering the cost. While the meal was enjoyable in some respects, I expected a more consistent and memorable dining experience.

    Can't do justice to the multitude of meats you'll be able to try here so I'll review the lesser known items on their menu! Highly recommend trying at least one slice from each meat so you know what to get seconds for. Personally, I found the Picanha to be one of my favorites! 4/5 - Cheese and Honey - Best to eat this fast as once the cheese cools it can harden and not be as soft as that first bite you take. You can ask for more honey on top if they circle back around. One of the best side dishes! 5/5 - Key Lime Pie - Soft and sweet! You'll enjoy choosing this as a dessert to top off your dinner experience. It might not look like a big slice, but you'll still find it quite filling! 5/5 - Cheesecake Brulee - Same with the key lime pie. The strawberry sauce was not too sweet or strong. Looks very aesthetic and also comes with great flavor. 5/5 - Caramelized Pineapple Old Fashioned - The strongest tasting cocktail that we tried. Still tastes like the classic old fashioned you've had but definitely one to sip while you chat at dinner. Highly recommend this drink! 5/5 - Premium Caipirinha (Traditional) - A great lime-flavored cocktail that is also fun to drink at lunch or dinner. If you like Cachaca, I recommend trying this out! It's not a cocktail you typically get at other bars. 5/5 - Yellowbird - Fruity flavor profiles complement the Blanco well and the design of the drink matches its name. If you like passion fruit and pineapple, you won't be disappointed.

    Another great dinner at Fogo. There's a SF Restaurant week dinner promotion for $59. It is the same as "The Best of Fogo" deal $59. They now have an "All Day Happy Hour" menu with $10 cocktails and $6 beers. Separately, there's a "The Trilogy Collection", three bottles of house wine deal for $99. Their house wine is pretty good. Our favorite meat was the picanha, prime sirloin. Well, all the meats were pretty good. Love Fogo! Great job everyone. Special thanks to our waiters that never stopped refilling our water and wine. The extra sauces they gave us like chimichurri were all terrific. Such a beautiful restaurant.

    What an amazing experience! Good: - I came here with a gift card from Costco, super worth it! - The salad buffet was amazing! So many options and it's unlimited - The single churrasco is more than enough, and the staff keep coming by to give you more slices of picanha and lamb picanha - Loved the fruit options, papaya cantaloupe, you name it - Love the cheesy bread as always, it definitely fills you up quickly! - The waiters brought us mashed potatoes and banana and other appetizers that were all so tasty. - Feels upscale and fancy for a date - Portion sizes are perfect, you won't be hungry after this Bad: - Can be pricey, but we got a good deal with Costco Overall this was a unique experience that I will be back for more for!

    Garlic Mashed Potatoes
    Norris T.

    Dropped in with my brother on a Tuesday for their $18 lunch buffet after seeing it advertised on social media and now I have added it to my rotation of best lunch deals in the city. It includes high-end items like aged cheeses, smoked salmon, charcuterie, and fresh hearts of palm that go far beyond a standard salad bar. All of the side dishes from the yucca fries to the caramelized bananas, and garlic mashed potatoes were delicious and quickly disappeared off their plates. Service was amazing with our drinks quickly refilled and our used plates cleared promptly without us having to ask. I'm offically hooked and will be back again soon for more!

    Came in for a late lunch and I was surprised by how limited the selection of food was. The salad bar was the same and great but I come here for the table side service. They bring out large portions of side dishes without asking if you even want them which some of them I didn't which I hate wasting food so I didn't love that. I ordered a lemonade that was excellent and didn't know that I'd be charged for a refill when the server asked if I wanted another one. Usually drinks like lemonade have refills included and it would have been nice to be informed about that before another one came. The food was high quality but the limitations were surprising. The pineapple that comes at places like this is one of my favorite parts of Brazilian BBQ and I was shocked it wasn't part of the experience. The lunch price wasn't much better than the dinner. If I come back I'd wait out for the dinner with the broader selection.

    I visited this establishment for a weekday dinner in one of the private rooms, however the main dining area did not seem too busy at the time. The servers were polite and attentive throughout my dining experience. In addition to the usual meat carving and buffet style salad bar, a nice touch was having the seafood appetizer with lobster, crab, shrimp, and mussels. The meat service was as expected but I did notice the meats each felt a bit dry. I am a frequent diner at Espetus so I was a bit shocked at how dry each cut of meat was. For dessert, we decided to each order a different dessert and share so we got to try a little bit of each. We got the cheesecake brûlée, crème brûlée, chocolate molten cake, chocolate brigadeiro, and key lime pie; each of them were great and saved the meal for me. I would go back if I was in the area and would like to share the desserts again, but I think I would prefer to go to Espetus if I was craving Brazilian bbq.

    The restaurant was beautiful. Crowded dining area. I felt like I was bumping into servers others diners too. Our Server was Mia. She was sweet and helpful. We were a group of 14. Excited to Dine at this restaurant. We wanted the Brazilian experience. Which would include 5 different meat cuts. The meat cut that was brought out the most was a sirloin cut. Most of our meal was the same meat cut. It was very very rare. We asked several times if we could have a meat more medium. That didn't happen. So we ate mostly the salad bar. Salad bar was excellent. However there were fruit flies in the restaurant. That was a bit annoying while eating. By the time different meat cuts were offered we were full. So it definitely wasn't experience we were looking for. There's always room for improvement.

    Went to Fogo de Chão for the $59 all-you-can-eat deal and honestly for the price I can't complain. My favorites were the picanha and the grilled pineapple. The meal also came with sides like fried bananas and mashed potatoes, which were just okay in my opinion. One small complaint is that we felt a little rushed at times. But the servers themselves were very nice overall, so we still had a good experience.

    Yes although I personally prefer the grilled meats.

I'm sure that many residents who live near are lucky coming here because honestly the food was good here. There is no indoor dining but they do have a patio although it can get full which is why people ended up dining at the benches. Luckily, I'm able to find a spot after I ordered my food. Also, inside the interior, you can see informations about fish and drinks. Keep in mind that they don't have fountain drinks, but you can view drinks menu on the wall. I order fish and chips and it tasted really good. I can see how seasoned the fries are and crispy the fried fish is. No wonder why sometimes a line builds up to the point where there's too many people. Honestly, I could ordered tacos there, but they feel more like an appetizer. Or maybe I don't often have tacos to the point that I get full from eating them. We'll see when I come back because I may want to try other options.
