    I can see the appeal of Fogo de Chao. If you want a large amount of mid quality meat at a relatively affordable price, this is for you. We mostly got beef, lamb, and sausages. The beef is not impressive by any means, which is understandable given the price point. The lamb was too gamey for my taste (I could barely eat it). I also find sausages a bit too salty. The overall vibe is kind of confusing. It feels like they're trying to be upscale, but it doesn't really get there and ends up looking a bit tacky. They also consistently made people wait past their reservation time, which didn't help the experience. 3 stars are for the energetic and efficient servers and the satisfying salad bar. This concept might work for some people, just not for me. I'd rather pay more for a smaller amount of excellent steak any day.

    *Dined 4.5.26 (Easter Sunday): I /we REALLY wanted to like this place esp as my Aunt was gifted a gift card but overall we're unimpressed. The salad bar & the Brazilian bread were tasty the salad bar had decent options. It was a holiday & the staff were all frazzled scattering all around & speeding from table to table. All cuts available were a little closer to rare than medium rare & it was almost impossible to find a server w/ the temp of meat you'd like. The meat was bland. I'm okay w/ basic salt & pepper but even w/ me adding them....it did not help. Servers were nice & attentive for as busy & pulled all over the floor as they appeared. Lastly, we had 2 slices of key lime pie & they were the most SOUR/TART slices any of the 6of us ever tasted. We took a pics & videos of us tasting the slices to record our puckered faces. It was funny bonding moment but no, no key lime pie should NOT be that sour. Least the 6 of us didn't think so. Don't plan to return as the price/flavor value didn't match up. It may be easier to just get a full size steak cooked to your ideal and be done with it. I'd give the flavor of the food/experience 2 stars but 3for the staff friendliness given how chaotic as their shift appeared for them.

    Even though it was Valentine's Day, they still did a great job. We had reservations but still had to wait about an hour due to the extremely high volume they were experiencing for the holiday. However, the staff was very pleasant, brought out small samples and water, and tried to make things as painless as possible. It's a pretty small Fogo compared to other locations but had a great atmosphere and layout. With the volume of business, they were doing, there was no way that any of the food could possibly be cold. And it wasn't. All of the cuts of meat that they brought over were delicious, piping hot, seasoned well, and plentiful. It's Fogo de Chao. If you enjoy unlimited meat and Market Table, this is a great place to enjoy it.

    Went for husband's 50th birthday, we never been anywhere like this before so it was a whole new experience for us and it was well done, would definitely come back for next special occasion! We had a great waitress, all the crews coming by the table with different meat options was excellent! It got a little overwhelming with one coming in after another but couldn't miss an opportunity not knowing when it'll come by again as we lost count after 7 different meat. Loved the salad bar area that you can dish up to go with your meat selection. Next time we will do mac n cheese on menu to go with meat. Their dessert menu was hard to just pick one, so we got two which both was amazing! Place is pretty big in size, as busy as they are that's a good thing, definitely a reservation needed to get in as it's slam packed (rumors are true) This is the place for "meat sweat" so come prepared by being hungry, dress up nice but make sure there's extra room in those pants for your stomach to expand (you'll thank me later!)

    Mashed potatoes were fine.

    I enjoyed the steak but the chicken was too dry. The bread and sides were nothing special.

    I'm not a huge fan of the all-you-can-eat meat options, but I was really impressed by their Market Salad Bar. It offers a fantastic variety of fresh vegetables, proteins, and soups. Some must-tries include the candied bacon, grilled vegetables, hummus, and fresh fruits. We came in at 11:30 when they open, love this spacious and the decor. Service was wonderful--staff were attentive and always ready to meet our needs.

    Green means we're ready to eat!

    We made a reservation and were seated not too long after. (Even though it was Mother's Day weekend and they were fully packed, the wait was not bad...there was space with tables and chairs to wait near the bar.) The salad bar was nice and meat selections were good. (definitely try remembering what you like so you can get seconds or thirds. Some meat were dry, some too salty, while others were so tender and perfectly cooked. We really enjoyed the bacon wrapped steak, filet mignon, parmesan crusted pork, bacon wrapped chicken just to name a few.) Our favorites had to be the sides they brought to the table. (cheese bread, garlic mashed potatoes, caramelized bananas, crispy polenta) Also don't skip out on the grilled pineapple with cinnamon or the grilled cheese with honey served table side. Those were definitely things we asked more for. Eat slow, don't over load on salad bar, ask for more cheese bread and enjoy! Kids: Kids said it was the best dinner! They enjoyed watching servers come to the table and ask if they wanted different cooked meats. Our youngest is a veggie lover and we couldn't believe he kept asking us for more meat! We came because we figured he would be happy with the salad bar but it was a happy surprise for us to see him eat so much. Our kids said they would want to eat here again. That's a win in our book.

    I made a reservation for Fogo on 1/22 for Valentine's Day on 2/14, so glad I did because the restaurant was extremely busy when we arrived and even more busy when we left. I was hoping to get a decent table but we were sat against a wall with a swinging door (that wasn't being used) but still was a bit unstable and the sound from the back dining room carried through it, we were also skipped a LOT by many of the folks carrying around meat skewers. Overall the food was great, I'm not sure we ate $200 worth but I look at it as getting to try several types of meat we wouldn't otherwise have gotten at a regular restaurant. Miguel was our server and he was fantastic, he was quick and efficient with drinks and taking empty plates away. 11/10 no notes! We spent a bit of time people watching in our section, the table turnaround was insane to watch, everyone moved together like a well-oiled machine. We'll be back again someday!

    This place has been in my to-go list for a long time and finally was able to go with my family. For the experience, it is worth it. They do coupons and all often, not that we used it but it would be so good to go with those consideration. If you are a meat lover, then this place if for you. Plenty of good options to eat and they never stop coming to you unless your card is turned red. Go here at least once for the experience. Here are my takes: Food/Drinks: Not the most premium cut but everything taste great. They come and give you some appetizers on your table as well. And the garden table has plenty of option. Its a big buffet and for the price, it is worth it. Cheese buns they give is just resistible. Service: Appreciate the servers attitude here. So many people came to check on if we need anything. Meat servers never stop coming to you place even when you are sitting at corner table. Everyone was so great here. Ambiance: Well that's the only complaint. It was so crowded that it did not feel classy as I expected. Hygiene: Nothing in particular that we felt as extreme but it was not the most cleaned restaurant you would ever be. Price: If you are meat eater then it is not expensive for what you get. But those who have less appetite, you may feel a little expensive. But overall if you can use coupons they sent to your registered email, then these are great. I would not go here every day but wouldn't mind being here on special occasions.

    What a weird thing to do... I had an incredible experience 6 months ago and I brought my family here last night and boy o boy... all the meat was well done except their signature picanha which was medium rare but was only offered to us once. We were sitting in the middle and the servers kept going around the outside tables and skipping all the middle tables. We were not the only ones that were experiencing this the tables around us did too. Then we decided to give up trying to get meat and went for dessert which was amazingggg that is the only reason why I can give it 2 stars this time around. After dessert we waiting soooooo long for our server to come back and check us out. We all left the table and only the person that was paying stayed. He stayed for a good while!! We walked around all Walgreens across the parking lot and he was still trying to pay the bill. Overall the first time around amazing 5 stars we really loved it. Last night was too crazy I am not sure if we are coming back. If I come back I'll add another review. I'm literally so sad I loved this place and wanted to love it forever.

    My boyfriend took me here on Valentine's Day! And so did everyone else lol, it was crowded, felt like we were elbow to elbow. Other than that, food was really good. I wasn't a fan of the open salad bar but overall, great experience!

    Ask the Community - Fogo de Chão

    Is this place a buffet / ayce? I'm seeing separate prices for other things but I'm only interested in the ayce. Does the ayce include desserts & drinks or is that separate?

    Yes, it is a buffet-style restaurant; however, certain premium meats are available at an additional cost, separate from what is included in the standard buffet price.

    Is there any offer for Birthdays, I really want to take my mom there?

    I went here this year actually and there's no like offers or deals for birthdays. The only thing you get is a dessert.

    Say, I order churrascarria and If I order a tomahawk steak for the table and I can't finish it and say I order dessert as well, may I take those as leftovers home if I don't finish, since I paid extra for the latter two?

    You can take whatever is left on your plates and what you ordered a-la-carte. You cannot get a bunch of meat as part of churrascarria to take home.

    Does anyone know what brand of coffee they serve?

    The brand of coffee is Geva. This is at the Scottsdale, AZ., restaurant.... I wouldn't know if it's the same with every franchise.

    If our group shows up on a Friday at 1:30 PM and their lunch goes until 2PM, are we charged for lunch or dinner?

    The time you put ur order in should reflect the lunch schedule.

    Nunca e ido a comer allí me pueden explicar cómo es la experiencia en fogo de chao gracias?

    Yo no megusta pero mi Marido legusta mucho , mucho! Para me el carne es muy dura. Y el service es mal.

    Are there heaters on the patio? UPDATE: My family and I dined last night (which was chilly) and there were a handful of moveable heaters. The staff turned 2 of them on for us. We also opted for the table closest to the fire which provided warmth too

    I did see heaters on the patio when I was there recently

    Are we allowed to bring our dog if we sit outside dining area?

    I've been there several times recently and have never seen them using the outside. They also don't have the heaters out there anymore.… Read more

    What is the recommended dress attire for men/women?

    Smart casual is fine

    Is the salad bar open?

    Yes, and it's amazing!!! A server will go with you and serve you what you want every time to reduce the risk of contamination

    Do they let you take home your leftovers?

    Yes, they allowed me to take my leftovers as well as my dessert that i did t get to finish.

    Is there a corking fee?

    Do you send steaks to hotels.?

    Luis, Due to our service style and our commitment to our food quality we do not offer to go or… Read more

    What is the difference between lunch and dinner Full Churrasco Experience?

    There are more meat options available for dinner when compared to lunch. You can order some cuts a la carte but it will add up. Both are delicious and you will try plenty of meat options

    Does the salad bar have ceviche?

    It does not, it's more of stuff you would find on a meat board at a wine bar. Olives, fruits, cheeses and sliced meats.

    Can I see their menu?

Still delicious, but my vote is for g and m in Maryland for a traditional cake style with very little breading versus this for if you just want crabs. Service was very slow. It's hard with kids because you'll be there for a couple hours guaranteed. It's also pretty loud so I wouldn't recommend this spot if you have younger kids. I did have some stomach issues later that night but cannot confirm if it was from here or from lunch.

Some in the group ordered pan roasts and some ordered crawfish etouffee. My friend also ordered clams. I always get the combo pan roast here. It's a mix of crawfish, shrimp and crab. Choose your spice level from 1-10. I forgot to specify a number and just said "hot" but it was not spicy enough for me. I normally get 7-8. I ended up adding in all the hot sauce options that were on the table plus some chili powder. Now that had a good kick to it. Ask for that! Price for the combo pan roast has doubled from before! It used to be $20, then it slowly increased to $30, and now it's $40! It's good, but I can also make it at home and get more for my money.

The result is a space so small and awkward it borders on absurd: a few tightly packed tables, a tiny circular bar, and just enough room to guarantee a wait time that feels wildly out of proportion to what's actually being offered. It's wedged at the end of a hallway off the casino floor, with all the ambiance of a service passage. Calling it a restaurant is generous; it's more like a seafood-themed afterthought. Honestly, it would make far more sense as a grab-and-go sandwich counter or coffee stand. As it is, it comes across as the fast-food version of seafood--minus the speed, convenience, or value. I was there with my 21-year-old daughter and we sat at the bar, which turned out to be a mistake. Instead of even the bare minimum of professionalism, the staff treated the space like their personal break room. We were subjected to loud singing, nonstop chatter, and unfiltered complaints about coworkers and management--all happening just a couple of feet away while we were trying to eat. It wasn't just distracting; it was genuinely uncomfortable. There's something uniquely off-putting about paying for a meal while being forced to listen to an impromptu staff gripe session. With so many legitimately good restaurants nearby, there's absolutely no reason to waste time--or money--here. It's the kind of place that makes you immediately regret not going literally anywhere else. I would have happily waited to dine at Orange Sky, where the setting and service actually match expectations. In hindsight, skipping this entirely wouldn't have just been the better option--it would have been the obvious one.

    My wife and I celebrated my birthday at Maple & Ash, and it was an incredible experience from start…read moreto finish. The food, service, and ambiance were all truly five-star. Some of the standout items for us were the mocktails and the pasta. The Pillows of Love pasta absolutely lived up to the hype and was one of the highlights of the meal. We also enjoyed the mac and cheese, mushrooms, steak, and seafood. Everything was beautifully prepared, high quality, and worthy of the restaurant's reputation. If I had one minor critique, it would be the king crab legs. They are char-grilled, which gives them a smoky flavor that wasn't quite our personal preference. That said, the quality of the crab itself was excellent, and it's more a matter of taste than a criticism of the preparation. The atmosphere made for a perfect birthday dinner--upscale, energetic, and memorable without feeling stuffy. Combined with outstanding food and attentive service, it made for a special evening that my wife and I won't forget. If you're looking for a restaurant for a celebration, date night, or simply an exceptional dining experience, Maple & Ash delivers. We'll definitely be back.

I've…read morecelebrated a lot of birthdays, holidays, milestones and just because moments here because the service is top notch and the food is delicious! They also have a bomb dj!! My favorite is going for brunch for the prix fix meal. It starts off a welcome cocktail and pastry, you choose your entree and all sides are included. Like who wouldn't want steak as a side?? Audrey and the sommelier team are amazing and bring the best recommendations and make the experience even better! One of my favorite events was their summer social featuring a lot of wine vendors and I hope they bring it back.

    I live close to Chulas so usually pick it up to go but have eaten in before. It's in a little strip…read moremall on Roosevelt and Hayden. This is the original location that haas been there for years, but they've expanded to a few other locations. This location is small but it's cute and the staff is really friendly. You can order online for their regular menu but they had some specials this weekend (sign up for the emails because you can see the specials at leach location and you get a code for a free cookie for your birthday) so we called in. Food was ready in 15 minutes. We got the lobster roll which is Connecticut style-my preference-with lots of butter! They had a fish and chips special so we got that too. And a pb&j cookie for my birthday! My husband very recently broke his leg so picking up Chulas with some great lobster was a nice treat! It's not inexpensive but you get what you pay for. Very fresh, high quality seafood. They have great poke and a great fish market if you want to pick up raw seafood to cook at home. Definitely a little gem in SoSco.

Being the desert, the quality of Seafood is important, since we are nowhere near seawater and the reputable Chula Seafood is here to serve us, desert dwellers, well. TUNA MELT- it's refreshing to have a tuna sandwich that is not canned tuna. There is a chimichiri sauce that you can get to drizzle on it that really gives a depth of flavor. The bread was a nice sourdough that was not just a cheap white bread and did not get soggy. However, with my sandwich, the bread was burnt so that bitterness ruined the flavor of the delicate fish. My pictures shows a few burnt spots, but on the bottom side was way more burnt and it was like they put the most burnt side on the bottom to hide it and hope I didn't notice. I did not appreciate this. CLAM CHOWDER- creamy and more on the fluid consistency, being made with fresh clams makes the difference. Not the best chowder i've had, but was pretty decent. The fish variety can vary with seasons, but it is nice to get different choices throughout the year. There are limited offerings here compared to the bigger location across town, as far as menu and fish selection. But for a small store it is a good place to get some quality seafood to take home or sit and eat. Check out the great happy hour deals

    Say hello to your new favorite downtown restaurant! Wow, where to begin?…read more Service was amazing - they even printed out a small card with our reservation name on it which was presented on our table. Such a cute touch and very thoughtful. Our waitress was super knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. The spot is small and chic. It's very intimate dining so you'll be sitting close to the table next to you. Luckily, it's a quiet and calm space, so no need to worry about noise. The food was incredible. The salmon crudo was possibly the best crudo I have ever had in my entire life. So fresh and the flavors were balanced to perfection. The risotto changed my life... it was so delicious I couldn't even believe it. The only thing I would recommend skipping was the octopus tostada - not my favorite and a little fishy for my liking. Personal preference of course! The duck tasted great and was beautifully presented, but it wasn't my favorite. Again, I'm not a huge meat eater so take my advice on this one with a grain of salt. Overall an extremely romantic and special meal.

    It was pretty good but certainly not worth the titular pretty penny price--and we didn't even get…read morethe recommended 8 dishes, which is, like, the entire menu. To start, the menu is a bit puzzling. It's kind of like a handful of Asian-inspired dishes, a handful of Mexican/South American, and a handful of French or New American. But there's not enough of each to chart a course through one type of cuisine. So, basically you're gonna have a cultural melange meal. Hamachi crudo was really good and fairly unique. The halibut was excellently prepared but not particularly innovative in any way I could tell. Zucchini had goat cheese, which wasn't immediately clear from the description, so I didn't enjoy the rude surprise I got when I took my first bite, and didn't eat anymore, as I really despise the stuff. So that was a waste. Not a dig on the dish, just a personal thing I wish I had more notice of. There were other issues though. The wine list was exceptionally small, They were out of the bread, which is supposedly a must-try. And then we were going to get the steak but the folks next to us advised against it, showing their cut that had zero fat. They said it was leather. On that point, the tables are SUPER CLOSE. Like, a couple inches apart. You hear everything and almost can't avoid getting entwined into others' conversation. We liked the people we were next to, but be aware that it's an unintentionally awkward communal experience that's not well-suited to a date night. The service was pretty good, they put out a nice printed greeting with the reservation name, and give you a sparkling wine toast. But considering the price and overall experience we had, I'd pass and not come back.
