The salad bar was good. Some of the meats were fabulous, but others were not good at all. The sides were limited to fried bananas, fried polenta, and mashed potatoes. Dessert was good. more

Fogo de Chao is an experience like no other place I have been to. I am from Texas and know BBQ and steaks. This place is Meat excellence. The wait staff is like an army of ants there to take care of you. Regardless if the price range is too high for your normal night out, you have to go... more

The salad bar is really incredible with a huge selection of fresh ingredients, including great cheeses and meats. The servers make continuous rounds with different specialty meats that are truly outstanding. Note: it seems like the meat is heavily salted, so you may want to shy away from the outermost slices if you are watching your sodium levels. But wow... more

Very mediocre quality of meat. The best choices were the rib eye, sausages, chicken, and lamb chops. You might as well skip the other 10 meats. Despite the unimpressive food, the restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere and offers rather attentive service. more

Okay, so it's a chain and fairly gimmick-y, but we loved it! The service was slick, when you turned your coaster over to green, the meat just kept arriving, salad bar had an interesting selection and the little cheese rolls - yum! The restaurant was busy, but that did not affect the service. We'd definitely go back! more

Come hungry - very, very hungry - and get ready for an orgy of meat. The salad and fruit bar is surprisingly good and has some unusual items, but the meat is the star attraction here. I really like meat, but frankly I got a little tired of it toward the end of the meal. Even lunch is really expensive,... more

I actually like the meat carnage that is Fogo de Chao. Turn the card over and you are treated to infinite meat. And most of it is good. And there's the salad bar to end all salad bars (really just a ploy to fill you up so you eat less meat... but I digress.) BUT IS THIS THE THIRD BEST... more
