Love all the different varieties of meats and salad bar was great! Unfortunately the high end cuts of meats we only had one change to try(ask for extra when you get your chance) and the lower end cuts were offered multiple times but were chewy so we didn’t eat as much as we wanted too. The waiter was very kind though and gave us two desserts for my birthday so that was a plus!

Worst experience of my life! I was so excited to try it with my girlfriend for my anniversary. We went for Happy Hour and the bar tenders gave the vibe that they really did not care. The drinks were disgustingly over sugary. Usually I’m a lenient guy but this place was just an embarrassment to the fogo de chao franchise. We waited over 40 minutes for our empanadas, the guy told us 10 minutes later. We asked him again 10 minutes later and he told us another 10 minutes. No apologizes or anything. I told them we did not want them anymore cause we had to go. No comp or anything. Terrible experience. DO NOT GO HERE

Our server Romeo was super attentive and they would bring out specific meats if we asked it was a very enjoyable experience. Not too busy which is great.

The kitchen was down. Got told the grill was down. Then it was they didn’t have the gas lines working. My reservation was at 5. We got told half an hour to fix it. We wait. Overhear it’s going to be an hour. I already waited let’s wait more. Then 6:30 we get sat. I’m told by waiter it’s still down and will be for a while. So I’m getting bamboozled to wait another hour?? Unacceptable. I left.

Our waiter was terrible, didn’t bring fresh plates got mad when we got up and got our own. We had to ask 4 times to refill our water. No one even greeted us when we sat down, did not even ask if we were celebrating anything like we usually do.

The restaurant can be quite loud so can be hard to have conversations. The food was good but don't be shy about asking for a better cut. I ended up with an end cut at times and didn't like those personally. Salad bar was great and lots of choices. Just it was busy with large rowdy groups around us so made it difficult to talk. Might return on a less busy night.
