I've eaten at Fogo de Chão quite a few times over the years, and what stands out most is the…read moreconsistency. 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. 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. 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.

Visited Churrascaria Tropeiro's Grill on Saturday night and we had an awesome dinner experience…read more Our party of four was seated promptly at our reservation time. The dining room is very attractive and nicely decorated, and the servers were polite, friendly, and attentive. Our drink orders were taken quickly, and the caipirinhas were both delicious. We made our first trip to the buffet and bar and there were so many choices! Hearts of palm, stuffed grape leaves, everything you could want for a salad bar, cheeses, hot sides, traditional Brazilian meat dishes, cheese rolls, fish, clam chowder and much, much more. While we were enjoying these items back at our table, we also turned our cards to green and strted experiencing the freshly sliced meats. Such a variety of beef cuts, lamb, chicken, sausage, and more. It was all super high quality, very tender, well seasoned, and I honestly don't know which were my favorites. Meat service was frequent - we were never without food and really never had to wait. They just kept coming and coming, and we kept trying more succulent meats. We finished our meal with the most delicious grilled pineapple and also the cheese with honey. Yum! Although there is a lovely dessert menu, we were too full to partake, and the pineapple and cheese hit the spot. The price for the unlimited buffet and meats is just under $50 per person, which at first seems a bit pricey, but when you look at all of the options and the quality of both the buffet and the meats, it is really a great deal! this is the third Brazilian restaurant I've been to, having been to one in Providence and one in Ogunquit, and Churrascaria Tropeiro's Grill is by far the best out of the three. I will definitely be back!

Extremely disappointing dining experience. We were first seated near what looked like a broom…read morecloset, which already set the tone. After requesting to be moved, we were placed at what seemed like a service table where staff gathered frequently. Throughout the meal, employees talked loudly about not wanting to work there and how they would rather be working in Providence. It created a very uncomfortable and unprofessional atmosphere. To make matters worse, we were eventually seated near two large parties of about 15 people each, making it nearly impossible to have a conversation. The music volume was also unbearable -- way too loud for a dining setting. Unfortunately, the food did not make up for the experience. The meats were rare to the point of being unappetizing, and the buffet hot items were mediocre at best. Overall, our service was good, chaotic seating, loud environment, and underwhelming food. Definitely not a place I would return to or recommend.

They have a great selection of meats as well including different cuts of beef (including picanha), varied sausages, chicken, etc. They also sell bulk packs of classic Brazilian snacks like esfihas (the Brazilian style of Middle Eastern flatbreads) and pão de queijo (cheesy bread) that are perfect for larger get togethers. You can order a la carte and they have a variety of Brazilian desserts like flan and brigadeiros (chocolate truffles). Will definitely be back!

My…read morelunch certainly "filled me up", but like other fellow Yelpers have stated in their reviews, some of the meat selections were very salty. The meats that were not as salty tasting were on the bland side, I just kinda expected to experience "more flavor", and it simply just wasn't there. I lived in the Deep South for a year, and the Q found in that region simply blows away what I experienced today. Maybe it's not a fair comparison, but I couldn't help but think that. The location of the Banana Brasil Grille is conveniently located near Rt8, so it was easy to get back on to the highway to continue my journey after my lunch. Overall, I'd say it was a mediocre lunch, I can't see a reason for a return visit. A weak 3 Star Rating, IMO.
