Consistently Outstanding - My Go-To Brunch Spot for Years Fogo de Chão has been my weekly go-to spot for brunch for years now, and I can honestly say their consistency is unmatched. I've been coming here since before COVID, and throughout all the changes the world has gone through, this place has remained solid--not just in terms of food, but in overall experience and service. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted warmly and professionally. The host team is always organized, and even during peak brunch hours, they manage the flow efficiently and with a smile. You never feel rushed or overlooked. It's clear they value their regulars, and as someone who comes almost every week, that's something I genuinely appreciate. The food is exceptional--every single time. The quality of the meats is top-tier: perfectly seasoned, juicy, and brought out at a steady pace. The gauchos are always attentive, ensuring you get your favorites and asking how you'd like them cooked. Whether you're a fan of the picanha, filet mignon, lamb, or sausage, there's something for every meat lover here. And let's not forget the market table--fresh, vibrant, and beautifully presented. From crisp greens to imported cheeses, smoked salmon, and Brazilian side dishes, it's always well-stocked and maintained. You can genuinely taste the freshness and care put into every selection. Their pão de queijo (cheese bread) is dangerously addictive! What really sets Fogo apart, though, is the service. The staff is consistently courteous, fast, and attentive. They remember returning guests, they check in regularly without being intrusive, and they always make you feel welcome. Even when it's busy, I've never had a negative experience or felt ignored--something that speaks volumes in today's hospitality climate. This has truly become more than just a restaurant for me--it's a weekly ritual and a comfort spot where I know I'll be treated well and fed even better. Whether you're a longtime fan of Brazilian steakhouse dining or trying it for the first time, Fogo de Chão is a sure bet for excellent brunch, dependable service, and a great atmosphere. Highly recommended, and I'll continue to be a loyal guest for many more Sundays to come.
Great food and Service. Nice airy location, great patio. Drinks nice and strong, the meats sliced table side are served hot and plentiful. Went into a food coma after eating so much! Located very close to south valet location. Great place though eat before Improv show. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO ALL CARNIVORES!!
It was our first time here and Naideen was absolutely wonderful! She kept our table clean, glasses full and more importantly, the bread coming! I highly recommend skipping all the meats and going STRAIGHT FOR THE LAMB! It's AMAZING!!
We came here for a nice family dinner, and the food was so good! The drinks were so good, especially the caipirinha. But what stood out was the service here. Our server Daniel F. was great at recommending drink options, and he was super consistent with checking in on us. The rest of the staff were also very attentive, and really helpful when Daniel was away. We look forward to coming back!
Amazing Happy Hour event all about Caipirinha's. We had a party of 6 and it was an absolute blast. Each person was $29 for 2 specialty Caipirinha's (SO TASTY AND FRESH)! Along with a slew of wonderful appetizers. We also ordered two wonderful desserts to share: Creme Brulee Cheesecake, and Papaya Creme (not too sweet) a healthy option!!! Service was superb, 5 stars by Ashlynn. The sales manager - Francesca was so kind and gracious to us. Hugs!!! We literally had such a great time, it was hard to leave. The pricing for what you got was a superb value. I look forward to more Happy Hour events by Fogo de Chao!!!

Knowing Fogo De Chao would be busy on Valentine's Day, we came the day before to celebrate ours. Although it was raining hard, we still didn't cancel our reservation. The dining room wasn't full when we arrived. We were one of the few first diners. Market table was fresh as always. My kind of foods. Plenty of fruit and vegetables, soup, cold cuts and cheeses. I tried to save room for the "real" meats so didn't have any cold cuts but they looked good. My favorites were the filet mignon, picanha, garlic top sirloin, chicken breast wrapped in bacon, another steak cut that was so tender, it melted in your mouth but i didn't quite hear what the gauchos told us what that was. The pork sausage was also good but a bit salty. My husband loved the pork cubes. It looked almost like a piece of chicken because it was so white. He gave me a bite and I was amazed as to how tender and flavorful it was but I was already so full by then and I couldn't eat anymore. I had the papaya for dessert and it was so sweet. Perfect light dessert. Everything was delicious and service was good. The restaurant was full by the time we left. Love Fogo De Chao!
