   We visited this restaurant for my husband‘s birthday. I had spoken with the staff about presenting him with a birthday cake. That was never done. We had to ask for everything that we needed. We had to wait a tremendous amount of time for drink refills or any service at all. This used to be a restaurant that we felt was a good value and provided a good experience. It was very disappointing and I will not visit them again after having been a customer for 15+ years.

   When planning the perfect Friendsgiving luncheon, my choice was clear: Fogo de Chão in Dunwoody. Some of my girlfriends had never experienced it, which made it a non-negotiable destination. I crafted a strategy for navigating the Churrasco experience—designed to maximize enjoyment without feeling overwhelmed. They didn’t heed my guidance (a lesson they’ll remember next time), but despite that, they were captivated by the charm and culinary excellence Fogo is known for. The Gauchos, ever the epitome of attentive hospitality, delivered an exceptional dining experience. Their timing, precision, and warmth reminded me of what fine dining service truly entails—a rarity in today’s dining landscape. The supporting staff complemented this level of care, ensuring no detail was overlooked. The dining room was bustling, likely filled with holiday office gatherings, which added an energetic buzz to the space. While I hadn’t anticipated the crowd, it only enriched our festive mood. A standout, as always, was the pão de queijo—those irresistible, melt-in-your-mouth cheese rolls. They are dangerously addictive, and I could easily indulge in them by the pound. Fogo de Chão remains a timeless classic for those seeking an elevated yet approachable dining experience. The blend of tradition, impeccable service, and indulgent flavors makes it a perennial favorite, whether for a special occasion or a spontaneous celebration of friendship.

   Overall an amazing and unforgettable experience! Even if there was a wait time, the service was prompt, pleasant and welcoming from the valet to the tables. The ambiance was a mix of beautiful and intimate with an atmosphere that was opened and engaging. First timers were well informed of their options and the table servers were absolutely amazing and always willing to assist you. The food was absolutely amazing, everything comes to you hot and sizzling and cooked perfectly. They go above and beyond to create a memorable experience and it's worth it! Will definitely return and would recommend it for any occasion.

   We’ve eaten here many times. This was a miss in almost every way. We waited a long time for meats to come around when we finally requested some, it also took 10+ minutes. The quality was also not up to the normal standard we expect. It was quite disappointing; hopefully just a one-off.

   I asked 4 different people, to include both of the individuals taking care of my table to have the person with lamb chops come to our table. It took 20 min for the first time they came, then another 15 for the next time they came. I do not understand why I should pay that much money just to be offered and eat 4 lambchops in a span of 35 min. I would frequent the Buckhead location for years, this is the 1st time trying the Dunwoody location, I will never go back. We were there for a birthday celebration and there wasn't even anything offered to the birthday person. Not worth the price.

   This is always our "go-to" Fogo location for date night or a celebration. The staff is always top notch. That being said...I wanted to take a few days to think over my review. Last weekend wasn't the best/wasn't the worst. The bartenders were awesome as always. The food was just ok. Asked for regular tap water and got a bottle of flat we ended up being charged for. Not the biggest deal. The restaurant was busy when we first arrived and ended up clearing out soon after, leaving us as 1 of 4 tables seated in the section. This is why it was so strange to us that there were practically no meats coming out. There were only 3 types of meat coming by somewhat frequently. We had to ask for parmesan pork twice before they finally came with it. The filet that we had been asking for only came once and it was cooked to death, but never came back around afterwards. We never even saw the lamb. After a while, we just got tired of waiting and decided it was time to go. We were there for about 2 hours total and left hungry. TLDR: Nice restaurant, friendly staff. Not their best go around, but yes we will return.
