Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse

Had one of my best experiences today. Even though I have been here multiple times. The staff took Amazing care of me tonight. (Pro food tip) Ask for shrimp cocktail in a different way*** see uploaded picture. Didn’t even know it could come this way with sautéed onions, green peppers and yellow peppers!! Amazing!!

Went on a date to celebrate. Everything was wonderful, from the food, to the drinks, to the service. Valmor, Carlos, and Ramon went out of their way to make the experience even better. Valmor continuously asked what cut of meat we’d like and he’d run back to make it fresh. The salad bar was also a highlight with not only salad and fruit, but steak toppings like roasted garlic and peppers. All of the cocktails were very well priced with good pours. Carlos even gave us a dessert just to make our experience better. Ramon, the manager, came over quite often to check on us and was very friendly and thankful that we came in to dine. It was my boyfriend’s first time, and he’s already making plans to come again! Can’t wait for next time

My experience at Fogo de Chão - Chicago was absolutely exceptional from beginning to end. The atmosphere was upscale yet welcoming, making it perfect for a special occasion or even an elevated lunch in the city. The quality of the food was outstanding. Every cut of meat was perfectly seasoned, tender, and cooked to perfection. The continuous tableside service truly elevates the dining experience, and the Market Table offered a fresh and beautifully presented selection that complemented the churrasco perfectly. What truly made our lunch unforgettable was our server, Valmor. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and incredibly professional. Valmor made us feel genuinely welcomed, ensured everything was flawless throughout our meal, and took the time to explain the different cuts and recommendations. His warmth and attention to detail turned a great lunch into an extraordinary experience. If you’re looking for an authentic Brazilian steakhouse experience in Chicago with impeccable service and phenomenal food, Fogo de Chão is the place to go. We will definitely be returning and we hope to be served by Valmor again!

We are brazilians and tried many brazilian churrascarias before, but since we were visiting Chicago, we were curious to experience an “American version”. I am happy that we came. Overall, the meat selection is good. It does not have the same variety as traditional churrasco as back home, but it was ok. The main down side for us is that most of the meat cuts were missing seasoning in our opinion, so we had to ask for table salt and it helped a bit. The cuts are fresh and tasty, and being an all-you-can-eat experience, you won’t find a premium steak here, but they for sure match the value that you are paying for. Starting with the salad bar, there is a variety of vegetables and cold cuts. They also bring some hot bites to the table, such as Fried Polenta and Pao de Queijo. The picanha is of course one of the highlights. Bottom sirloin was good as well. The queijo coalho (grilled curd cheese) is always a great confort food, and we were happy to taste it here. We almost skipped the chicken, because hey, we eat a lot of chicken at home, but I am glad that we tried one. The chicken was so well marinated, perfectly grilled, and juicy that it was probably the best option of the entire meal. We visited on a monday at around 3pm, so it was not the peak time, but they still had a good crowd concentrated in one area of the restaurant. That is probably why the service was a bit slow. Some cuts only came one time, and other cuts like Linguiça and Lombinho did not come to our table at all over the nearly 2 hours that we stayed there. We still had plenty of other cuts, and left the place fully satisfied, although we missed some things that we were looking forward to trying there. It was our anniversary, and the server was kind to give us a dessert, which we had no room left for it, but it was so delicious that we finished it all.

Unbelievably wonderful experience. Delicious food, waited on hand and foot, and lovely decor and dishware. Valmor, our server, was extremely funny, charming, and gave us excellent recommendations. The whole place made my mom’s birthday lunch magical. Do yourself a service and come here!

I went here for my birthday this past weekend. The service, food and vibes were probably the best I’ve ever experienced at a restaurant. It far exceeded my expectations and I’m already dreaming about my next visit! I highly recommend the full churrasco experience so you can try all the different delicious meats!

An amazing experience. The meat just kept on coming, hot and sizzling! Everything was delicious! Everyone was friendly and warm. Wendy and Kelsey was very helpful and attentive. I had a wonderful and warming birthday celebration. The chocolate molten lava cake was the cherry on top!

One of our favorite spots to enjoy brunch each year. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, festive and classy! Alex was wonderful. Thank you so much for ensuring we have the best time.

I'll be quick, they definitely over booked reservations. We had a party of 9 where we hosted a lot of international guests and we were really disappointed at how claustrophobic it felt inside. There was a huge crowd growing by the front desk which spilled into the area we were eating at by the bar. It was very difficult to hear one another and just over all very hard to relax and enjoy the meal. Definitely overpaid for the experience overall considering we all had to get the same package which was 67 per head. Lastly, all this would have all been overlooked if the amount of servers with meat matched the amount of customers. If you wanted meat, you'd have to strategize the rotation of servers bringing meat to your section because there's only 4-5 of them in a restaurant with hundreds. It would take 10-20 mins before they would make their way back to our section. I don't blame the people serving us because they did try their best to provide good service but I am frustrated with management for making everyone have a worse time because of them trying to cover the cost of meat with customers. Food itself was fine, which is why I'm giving a 3.

The environment was calm and peaceful, perfect for a relaxing dining experience. The holiday-themed decorations for Thanksgiving and Christmas added a festive touch, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. The lighting and art pieces throughout the restaurant were soothing and enhanced the overall aesthetic. The staff were highly attentive and impressively organized. They ensured everything ran smoothly and provided top-tier service. The restaurant was spotless, showcasing their commitment to maintaining a clean and professional establishment. The salad bar was a highlight, offering a culturally rich selection of items. Each dish had unique flavors, representing tastes from different regions. I ordered the salmon, which was cooked to perfection. The balance was impeccable--not too light, not too heavy. The crispy outside provided an extra layer of flavor that truly elevated the dish. The mashed potatoes were equally delightful--smooth, creamy, and packed with just the right amount of seasoning. Everything was exceptional, with only one minor hiccup--there were two salt shakers on my table. Aside from that, every detail was thoughtfully executed, making the meal an excellent experience.

Not my best Fogo experience. First time at this location. Little slower and different than other experiences. As always, the salad bar is amazing. The charcuterie board was well stocked with prosciutto , salami and several quality cheeses. The salmon was fabulous with a basil sauce and capers. Great selections for meat toppings. Service of meat was ridiculously slow. In the first 90 minutes, only 3 meats were served. After mentioning it to the server, meats came faster but we were still walked past multiple times. Overall, many of the meats were quite dry and needed the sauces from the salad bar. Fruit topped crème brûlée was the star of the night.

I visited Fogo de Chão on a Monday night with friends after seeing their $39 dinner promotion, available until Thanksgiving--a great deal for a steakhouse! Once seated, we let our server know we wanted the special, and then we were off to the salad bar. I was cautious about not filling up too much before the main meal, but honestly, the salad bar was so good that I ended up going for seconds! My favorites were the Caesar and Greek salads, and I appreciated all the options for creating a custom salad. The salad bar is a great perk, especially if you're hungry, because you can start eating right away instead of waiting 20-30 minutes for your food. To drink, I went with the $5 Stella Artois, which was a nice touch since I'm a big fan of Stella. The cheesy, airy bread bites they bring out were another highlight--light and perfectly baked. I probably ate almost bowls full haha. Once we were settled with our salads, drinks, and bread, servers began bringing out a variety of meats, including chicken legs, different steak cuts, lamb, and pork belly. The pork belly was a standout for me, and honestly, some of the best I've had! The steak was decent overall, though I preferred the rarer cuts. The fact that I could request how I wanted my steak cooked added to the experience, and when I got my preferred rare cuts, they were delicious. Some of the well-done cuts, however, were a bit tougher and chewy for my taste. The 39 dollar special also came with a few small sides -- mashed potatoes, caramelized bananas and Polenta which is a crispy corn meal. In summary, I'd definitely recommend Fogo de Chão if you're looking to try a variety of meats without committing to a large steak. The $39 special makes it affordable, and the experience was a good value overall!

My bf and I went there for the $39 dinner deal. You get the appetizer, the self service salad/appetizers bar, and the servers will come around your table to cut the meat at your table. The salad bar has many options, I love the carrot soup they have. Love all appetizers that listed in the menu, they are very good! The service there is amazing. There are a few meat items are not serving regularly and the waiter will come to ask us if there any items in the menu we want and they will ask the kitchen to cut the meat for us. Since we are doing the $39 dinner deals therefore the meat choice is limited. But overall it's worth it! I enjoyed the Fraldinha (bottom sirloin), the Torresmo is amazing!

Had an awesome time at Fogo de Chão in Chicago! The vibe was great, and the staff made sure we were well taken care of. The meats were delicious, especially the picanha and filet mignon - they just kept coming! The salad bar had tons of fresh options, which was a nice balance with all the meat. Definitely recommend if you're in the mood to treat yourself or celebrate something special.

This place is a relic. Like a real ancient reminder of what steakhouses used to be. The decor upon entry was immediately underwhelming and it explained why half the restaurant was empty. My hubby and I recently dined here for our 6th year wedding anniversary because we had never been and we will never be again. The cold buffet gave me pandemic heebie jeebies as if I would have eaten there before I learned about the danger of breathing on other people's food let alone sharing utensils. And the fact that the food was cold told me that there was no heat to kill any potential bacteria being spread from one patron to another. This felt like a high priced cafeteria and I understand why I saw tables with small children with vacationing parents choosing to dine there. Our waiter was new but there were more experienced service staff who tried to make our experience as pleasant as possible. In this order I enjoyed the following: 1. Cold bar chicken salad only because my hubby found it and it had the most flavor in the entire place. It was out when I went up to the cold bar before him. 2. Bottom sirloin medium. The rest of the meat lacks seasoning cause they're just churning it out without much TLC. 3. Breath mints as you exit. Sad but this handful was the highlight of my life. My hubs was afraid the mints would also be disappointing so I was happy to provide some relief. If you must...give it a shot. Check the health inspection ratings first! I wish I had.

very efficient service! everybody was polite. thanks to Ivo and Christian! we appreciate you!

We had the best time here! the service was amazing ! The food was fantastic. The ambiance was nice, and a worker named Carlito made it even better ! Deserves a promotion! Thank you for our experience, we will most definitely be coming back to the Chicago Location!

We went for the first time at this location for a birthday dinner. It was a Saturday evening so the place was full. The salad bar was good, had lots of options and the food was tasty. The meat service seemed a bit scarce for the amount of people dinning. At one point, we waited about 30 min for a gaucho to come by. Taste wise, it was the best cooked meat I've had at this chain. The waiters seemed overwhelmed as well, I ordered a second caipirinha ..... never came but we were charged for it. It was loud, which is understandable since they were at full capacity. Overall, good food but I will never make the mistake of going on a Saturday. Maybe the service is better when they're not so busy.

I really enjoy eating at the restaurant, but both times I ordered carry out it was dried out and a bit burnt, despite me ordering medium rare And spending a few hundred dollars worth. I had my family over and it was an unpleasant experience, so I just ordered a couple of pizzas. Maybe if I would of tipped more? I don't know.

It was definitely a different dining experience when seated. They come around with different types of meat on a sword and then you can get what you want. You have a little card to turn over when you want more meat and you turn on the other side if you don't want any more . You can have all the meat you want I would just like to see more warm sides.. They have a salad bar with a few things on. It had good soup would definitely go back and try it again.

Excellent service!! Haven't been here in ten years . Came with my bestie rossanna and ordered lamb chop, polenta and picanha tartare . Food is average serve is top notch.Carlos one of the guys In charge was very kind. Spoke 4 languages and was exceptionally nice to us. Adrian our server was also amazing!!

Had the best time at Fogo De Chao and already wanting to back. Only hiccup - We didnt realize the shrimp and some sides cost extra so they got us there - so learn what costs extra and go from there. We also ordered the wine bottles that were half off. $67/person and we ate sooo many amazing meats. My favorite was the sirloin and filet mignon... literally overwhelmed by how good it was. Initially it was a bit overwhelming at first when they come at you with literal meat skewers and knives. Couldnt get any shots of the meat cause once it started rolling out my phone was down and i was eating good haahhah. We had a party of 9 and no issues with seating. It was so much fun and everyone had a great time! Our staff was so fun and loved our vibes and comp'd us desserts for our friend we were celebrating. Dessert line up for our group: 1. Creme brulee 2. Trea leches cake 3. Molton lava cake

Carlitos was amazing and very nice. Good service amazing food. Hey Carlitos, keep up the amazing customer service !!!! See you next time.

This is the first time I went to this brand steak house in Chicago. So this review is for the Chicago location not in Seattle. First, this restaurant is huge. In the middle of the restaurant is a huge buffet, variety of salads, toppings, meat, cheese, dip and things like that and off to the side is a hot bar where they serve three sides, soup and bread and other things . At your table and the servers come around with meat off the grill the choices are steak, pork, chicken and lamb. The waitstaff gives each person at the table a card (red one side and green side) so when you're ready for meat, you flip your card over to green and then the service to come around to give you some meat. Now, whether not, I liked and appreciate this restaurant, I honestly didn't like it. It was not the steakhouse experience that I prefer, but I do think it's great for families who are wanting great steaks under a budget. Honestly, for the amount of money we spend I don't think I should be eating at a buffet.

The food and hospitality has gone down. We had to wait 30min for the meat to come back to our section. We had the salad bar first and we had to wait way too long. We asked three different waiter for the fillet mignon and we got worse cut. This is not $64.00 the price went up and the food experience went down.

Got the opportunity to attend a residents' private event here and definitely had a great time. We got to try all the caipirinhas (traditional, passionate, strawberry hibiscus, and mango habanero) and they were all very tasteful. My favorite was the strawberry but I've always preferred sweet, fruity drinks. All of them also had fresh fruit mixed in. The bites at the bar were pretty good. I loved the mini bell peppers stuffed with chicken salad. The cheesy bread was also so addicting. The chicken sliders were okay but a bit too sweet for me with the mango aioli. The bacon wrapped chicken was definitely my favorite app. It's a nice clean restaurant. The service was outstanding. The wait staff and the manager alike were very friendly and accommodating.

Located on LaSalle, this spacious restaurant has a great $39 dinner special with select meat to your desired cooking with salad bar and a few sides. I came after 5p and it's private and spacious. The music was lively and the staff was friendly without masks. I love exclusive dining. The salad bar after 5p needs refreshing. I have had lunch during lunch time so I know that it's fresher during lunch time. The potato salad and asparagus were still tasty. The server provided a two sided disk. One side is meat please and the other is no meat. So various staff drop by with cuts of meat and it's cooked to your desired tastes. The meat is carved at your table. I tried the picanha (prime part of top sirloin) and it was a bit tough. The alacatra (top sirloin) was too rare for me. The garlic beef had a nice garlic flavor--no vampires for me tonight. I tried the Fraldinha (bottom sirloin) and it was tasty. The lomo was tasty with parmesan encrusted park. For sides, I usually like the cheese bread but I didn't feel it was fresh. I tried the caiprahina and it was too sweet but the favor was good. It's better to come during lunch time for the salad bar. Wait staff can be slow at times.

Went last night, had a horrible experience. We initially went for the Brazilian cut special but when we found out it didn't include premium cuts we decided to go with the Traditional Full experience. We got seated at 8:30, by 9:30 we still didn't receive any lamb, Filet, NY strip or ribeye. I had to ask the waiter when we will receive it and he said shortly. We were given burnt Filets at almost 10pm. Only 2 people were given lamb chops. Most of the servers do not speak English at all and were very aggressive. One of my friends was burnt because the server aggressively put the screwer on the table without saying excuse me. We never received any NY Strip, Ribeye or the rest of the lamb. Total waste of money. Texas de Brazil is a better option. Paying over $500 for bottom sirloin and chicken is ridiculous.

I am not a big meat eater, but this was some of the best meat u have ever had. Even though I get full fast the garlic steak, lamb chops, roast parmarsan pork and grilled chicken was so good. Then they insisted we try the beef ribs, but I was so full, I just had a bite and it was delicious. Carilito was along with the rest of the staff were just great!!!

I came here for a friend's birthday and enjoyed the experience. Meats on meats on meats are all you'll really be eating. I know there's a salad bar, but if you want your money's worth, don't bother. Also, be on the lookout for the shrimp. They cost extra and if you're not careful you'll end up getting them. As far as the meats go, try everything. I was not expecting to enjoy some of the things as much as I did. For me, the garlic tenderloin was the best cut of meat there.

To my surprise the food was terrible. Dried out chicken and steaks that were tougher than a piece of leather. The once famous salad bar is nothing more than a glorified golden corral buffet. The only thing worse than the food was the service. Our waiter was non existent for most the night. Terrible. It seems like fogo has for gotten about quality and is only concerned with quantity. Over crowded and loud. I couldnt wait to get out and go home.

ONE OF THE WORST EXPERIENCES!! Tried calling the place to speak to a manager and ended up speaking to a man called giovanni. We were a walk in of 2 on a Wednesday night. We opted in for the buffet and when we walked over to the cold bar they were out of everything or whatever they had was old and soggy. Then came the steaks, only 3 of the meats on the menu came over out of all of them and everytime we asked for medium rare we got grey colored steak... The manager said he would compensate us with a gift card and after multiple calls to let him know no we never received the gift card over email they would keep us on hold for over 10 min each and never got back to us. Very rude host and management. Would not recommend.

The food was fine, no complaints especially for the price, but the ambiance was severely lacking. It was dark, but not the romantic kind; more literally not enough light kind. The tables were too close together and the guests were rowdy with lots of young kids and babies crying. Not the best place for a date.

The River north location in Chicago has been my mother/son annual date night spot along with special occasion spot with my son for at least 7 years. My son is now 21 :). I also usually eagerly await my birthday coupon every year. Yesterday was my birthday and I was sooooooo disappointed. The last 2-3 times we've visited, the market table never disappoints but the meats.......not so much. It taste like no efforts has been placed into prep at all. It's just meat. No flavor pops through unless we load it with steak sauce. Also, the service is a little iffy. We recently visited a similar place in Schaumburg and it knocked Fogo out of the park. Sorry Fogo but you've pretty much lost us unless we just feel in the mood for the market table.

I had such a disappointing experience at Fogo de Chao and I definitely won't be back. We came for my husband's birthday dinner, and somehow ended up spending $230 between the two of us, just for the dinner experience, 3 alcoholic drinks and one mocktail. We were seated at possibly the worst table in the restaurant, and I really don't like being difficult so I figured it wouldn't be that big of a deal. The table was in a corner next to the server POS system and broom, so people were constantly jostling us to get to the POS or to grab the broom behind my husband. On top of that, there was no light near or on our table, so it felt like the table actually shouldn't exist and was supposed to be part of the service station. In addition, the layout of the whole place is just stupid. It feels almost like a big cafeteria because it's in an open space with the buffet slapped haphazardly in the middle, with big metal ugly rafters that make the whole space echo loudly. The tables are stuffed closely together, so you'll have a difficult time making your way to the buffet with everyone's coats on the backs of chairs too. Because we were so inconveniently located, the meat didn't come around to us much. We saw a total of 4 varieties before it was just the same people coming back with the same stuff. One of the meat people asked if there was anything particular we wanted, but it was so loud it was hard to hear him, and then we didn't even have a menu left to know what the options were, so that went nowhere. Our server was Lily and while she was very nice, she was clearly overwhelmed and we felt pretty neglected overall. My water was frequently empty and it took a long time to get the check and leave. The worst, though- was the guy walking around offering tequila shots. I told my husband to get one, because it was his birthday! I didn't realize it was a $35 shot until we got the bill. I expected maybe $20. I thought that was absolutely absurd, and clearly a rip off because while we should have asked how much the shot was, I honestly did not imagine that they would be charging $35 for a single shot without giving warning first. The market table was good, and I would probably get that only if I had to come back (but I won't come back), and the meat we had was fine. However, I kind of think if your thing is meat, it should totally wow me....and it didn't. Finally, when a restaurant is this "high end" and the reso asks for an occasion, I would have at least expected them to acknowledge my husband's birthday, but they did not. Not at the host stand, not when we were greeted, nothing. Which is unusual both for restaurants of this supposed caliber. This is the kind of place tourists come because they've heard of it and Chicago is the closest location. You should absolutely avoid because it is SO SO SO not worth the money. Last year we had a tasting menu in the west loop for $50 less (with more drinks) than this sad, sad meal.

Mauricio ga e use excellent service. The goof was tender and delicious. All curs of meat were a.azing! Salad bar was plentiful and very tasty.

Carlitos is the best!!! As always great food great service and amazing atmosphere !! The steak and the lamb are my favorite!

The food was fine.. but be WARNED a guy comes around with a bunch of containers of shrimp. He asks if you'd like one and doesn't say a word about cost. At this point you know about the guys bringing around all the various meats you can eat.. included in the bill. So I said sure. He sets it down without a word and moves to the next tables. just like the other meat guys. Then the bill came. HOLY CRAP! 28 bucks for 6 freaking shrimp! that's like 5 bucks PER SHRIMP. don't be fooled and don't be too polite to ask. they are trying to do a 'gotcha'

Prepare to embark on a culinary journey like no other! Our recent visit to the iconic Chicago establishment, Fogo de Chão on LaSalle Dr, was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we stepped foot inside, we were enveloped in an atmosphere teeming with warmth and excitement. The service was impeccable, with every detail meticulously attended to. As we settled into our seats, the ambiance set the stage for what would become an unforgettable dining experience. The vibrant melodies floating through the air only heightened our anticipation. But it was the food that truly stole the show. Each bite was a revelation, bursting with an explosion of flavors that seemed to transport us to another realm. The meats, meticulously prepared and served with care, were nothing short of divine. It was as if they had been imbued with the essence of perfection, each morsel tender and succulent, leaving us craving more. And then, just when we thought it couldn't get any better, dessert arrived. The cheesecake, a towering masterpiece adorned with a heavenly caramel glaze, was a symphony of indulgence. With every forkful, we were transported to dessert paradise, savoring each moment as if it were our last. While the price may be considered average for a lunch service for two, the experience we had was priceless. Fogo de Chão has undoubtedly earned its place as one of our favorite dining destinations, and we eagerly look forward to returning time and time again. To the incredible team at Fogo de Chão, we extend our heartfelt gratitude. Thank you for creating memories that will last a lifetime. We love you, and we'll see you again soon.

It is not advisable to order the full Brazilian experience with the expectation of receiving high-quality cuts of meat. The $40 meal is the standard choice for all patrons, regardless of any additional payment made. Regrettably, the service at the Chicago location is subpar. The decline in quality at this restaurant is disappointing. As a result, I have decided not to return, despite it being one of my preferred dining establishments. It is truly unfortunate to witness this decline.

My experience at Fogo De Chao Brazilian steakhouse was a mix of highs and lows. The food earned a solid four stars; the salad bar was impressive, though the steak was slightly overcooked. The red wine complemented the meal beautifully. Service was generally good, but there were instances when it took a bit too long for someone to attend to our table. Additionally, the ambiance was marred by excessive noise, making it difficult to enjoy a conversation comfortably. Despite these drawbacks, the overall dining experience was pleasant, with the delicious food and wine serving as notable highlights.

The service was amazing. Waiters were really fun, friendly, and attentive. We got a free creme brûlée cheesecake that was top-notch! The sangria pitcher was amazing. The ambiance was nice. We really enjoyed the lamb and ribeye most. The lamb melted in the mouth and was seasoned to absolute perfection. The filet mignon was a let down -- too fatty, not well seasoned, and slightly overcooked. I had to spit it out. Other than that, it's definitely worth the visit!

First time at a Brazilian Steakhouse. I really enjoyed my first experience. The restaurant is pretty big. The lights are pretty dim so it gives you a romantic and fancy time. Love it! It has been awhile since I went to a nice restaurant. This steakhouse is known for it's Churrasco Experience about $63 per person. It's kind of like a buffet experience but with servers coming around your table serving you different kinds of cut meat. It also comes with some appetizer (cheese bread and some other Brazilian dishes) and you can go to the food bar to get salad, soup, or carb items. There are meat (lamb, chicken, pork, steak, beef) cooked and seasoned differently. Food was really delicious. Definitely come here hungry. There are so much to try. Would come back here.

Their wings were burnt. I was really disappointed in the meats. Seemed like they were all over cooked. I was underwhelmed by their salad bar. Usually their fruits and salad bar and cheese selections are better. For $70/pp I think I'd rather save it and try something else. This is my first bad review. And it's unfortunate because their service was great. Their food didn't bring their A game though.

I've never eaten there, but Brazilian steakhouses in general are amazing! It smelled great when I walked past it.

Carlitos, please stop harassing customers to leave multiple reviews. We have been enjoying lunch and dinner here for the past four years, but what makes the dining experience unpleasant is when you repeatedly ask for reviews on multiple platforms, even after we've told you we wrote one two weeks ago just to avoid this situation.

What can you say about FdCh...the place sells itself. Excellent cuts of meat with plenty of options. The icing on the cake besides the Papaya Creme which is a great meal finisher is the service by the hard working staff. Jarod and Nathan (servers) are restaurant staff ALL-STARS...a GREAT as they come. Every great soldier is usually led a great leader. That would be Miguel (manager). All I can say is wow and keep up the great work!

The food was delicious and the service was great. We were enjoying our food until a Rat decided to join us for dinner. The staff was apologetic and stated they had called pest control. I will not be dining there again.

Went here with a few friends for a 8pm reservation. We arrived on time and still had to wait about 15 minutes to be sat, and when we got a table it was in almost the far back left corner of the farthest back room. Service was not what id expect from a restaurant that charges you 66.50. When the 4 of us got up to go to the market table, we came back to a shrimp cocktail sitting on our table, along with the mashed potatoes, plantains, cheese bread ect that no one had ordered or been asked about. We figured that the shrimp came with dinner so we ate it. There was also a man walking around with 3 inch tall sample looking margaritas asking if anyone wanted one, we assumed these were some sort of sample so we all indulged (in my opinion, they were a pretty nasty margarita) After finally getting the bill, we discovered that the margaritas were not complimentary and cost each of us $16.50! Not only that, but the mystery shrimp also ended up on our tab at a whopping $27! I asked for the shrimp to be taken off as we never agreed to that charge, but since we all did say yes to those drinks we begrudgingly paid for that. This was not my first experience with fogo or Brazilian bbq, yet it left an incredible sour and nasty taste in my mouth. These are predatory business practices and I did not walk away feeling satisfied or ever wanting to step foot inside a fogo again. Chama Guacha is much better and id highly recommend it over this lousy excuse for a restaurant

Is it worth trying continuous service option? NO Market bar has too many options for appetizers, meats are delicious. But I have preferred to choosing one meat with good service instead of waiting to meats and try to find which is better for me. Service was really good, waitresses were really communicative.

Still one of my favorite go to nostalgic spots for lunch AYCE steak.. Carlitos was great.

Such an amazing food experience! The selection of meat was delicious, and perfectly cooked. The sides were fresh and cheesecake to die for. Our service Jerod and Carlitos was so on top of things and friendly. I can't wait to come back!

I am writing this review as a vegetarian because sometimes we are accompanying a group or joining someone who chose this spot. I was pleasantly surprised with how well the catered to the unwilling vegetarian - the cauliflower steak was quite well made and filling.

This review is specifically for their takeout combo which at 26$ for 2 meats and 2 sides is a good deal for the quantity of food you get. On this occasion I ordered one portion of picanha and one portion of the lamb picanha with potato salad and hummus as my sides. I tried calling in the order but was told that orders must be placed via their website. I did so and selected rare-medium rare as my options for the meats. However, the meat I received was generally on the medium-to medium well side which, while still good, was a bit chewier than I would've liked. Also, for a takeout order I was surprised to not receive any utensils or napkins, so make sure to ask for them when you leave if you'll be needing them. Both sides were very tasty and, like the meats, were provided in generous portions. I consider myself a pretty big eater and was definitely unable to finish both portions of meat and sides for a single a meal. Overall, a good experience for the most part and a great value, though I am docking a star for some gripes with the done-ness of the meat, lack of utensils, and automatic 20% tipping added to the online-only takeout order.

Came from California and clueless as to where I should stop by and eat. What I can say is that aside from the food tasting good, the service was GREAT. Valmor provided the best service and made this experience memorable. If you ever come visit, ask for Valmor. He was very attentive and made sure we got to try all meats and asked what our favorites were to continue to eat the meat to our liking. Valmor, I would like to thank you for the service. I will definitely be coming back.

Carlitos is amazing! Very attentive and knowledgeable about all the different types of meats. Highly recommend!

The food was spectacular! But what made our experience exceptional was the service. We had the pleasure of having Carlitos Elvis take care of us during dinner. He was so polite, courteous, and thoughtful! Will definitely revisit soon!
