Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse

I celebrated my dad’s 70th birthday at Fogo de Chao in Emeryville. Everyone went above and beyond for our large gathering. Scarlet answered all of my questions to plan the event. The manager on duty that night John Bo accommodated me with any changes I made to the reservation and I was able to drop off cakes and balloons. And last but not least JAYDIN & Adrian were our servers who wrapped up the whole experience with a SLAM Dunk! They didn’t miss anything and were just cool and smooth!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We love this restaurant and the lovely staff our server, Sofia was an absolute joy! She greeted us with a radiant smile and such a positive energy that lasted the entire evening. She was incredibly patient, attentive, and quick to help with anything we needed from answering questions to handling requests with ease. Her amazing service truly made our night special, and we can’t wait to come back soon.

I tried other Brazilian steakhouses before but never Fogo. I will say I was enthused by their cocktail menu. I got a strawberry caipirinha which was good. They somehow accidentally made us an extra one so we got the second for free which was nice of them. The stuff at the salad bar was alright, nothing that stood out too much to me. We got the standard churrasco dinners but were a little disappointed by the selection that was offered. It was a lot of bacon wrapped chicken or pork. Standard tri tip, chicken, picanha, some lamb but no grilled pineapple or shrimp. The little cheese breads though? Delicious

Today is our 8 year anniversary and the THE ENTIRE STAFF was polite and courteous to help us out. We just got here and was broke! The food was delicious! The steak, sausage, bacon wrapped chicken and even the salad bar had EVERYTHING! Lentil soup, black beans and.rice and of course every fruit and vegetables you can imagine. Thank you!!!! WE appreciate you!!!

Amazing experience. We had a reservation for 3pm on Thanksgiving day. Even though we arrived 20 mins early they seated us right away. We had the signature cocktail and then a bottle of Malbec. All the wines from South America were 50% off. There were plenty of staff walking around and checking in to make sure things ran smoothly. The meat was delicious- lots of choices and they were frequent with their offerings. The buffet was plentiful and the food was fresh. I loved their crispy hot honey bacon!! Omar made sure everything went well. He gave us two $25 gift cards and even gave us a complimentary dessert (which he didn’t tell us about, but it was discretely $0 on our check. Can’t wait to come back. We had a great time

Update on Sep 10, 2025: We had a fantastic experience celebrating National Caipirinha Day! For just $29 per person, we enjoyed two premium caipirinhas (the limited golden time Caipirinha was heavenly good), unlimited cuts of picanha and fraldinha, and a variety of delicious bar bites. Some even delivered right to our table, with unlimited serve during the event of 2 hours! The service was top-notch and the value easily felt like $50 or more. The photos say it all. This experience truly made our night, and we hope they host it again soon! Gui and Omar were both amazing 🤩 we had the best experience here, I basically want to come every week!

This was my first time at Fogo de Chão, and it was truly the best Brazilian barbecue experience I’ve had in the Bay Area. I arrived without a reservation, but I was welcomed warmly and seated right away. The service was exceptional from start to finish. A special shout-out to Lucca, who provided outstanding service—definitely 5-star quality. Manager Jamba also checked in to make sure everything was perfect, which made the experience even better. The food, the atmosphere, and the hospitality all made my visit unforgettable. I absolutely loved it, and my experience was incredible. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Today we returned to the Emerville location and received exceptional service from Guilherme, o Murilo and the entire team. I highly recommend the coalho cheese with honey. The service is excellent and the food is quality. We will definitely be back.
