Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse

Great as ever, and we’ve been to quite a few of these across the USA . This restaurant has a wonderful vaulted space and the great selections of meat and cold salad items, meats and cheeses. Wasn’t disappointed in the variety or quality with just the right drumbeat of fresh offerings coming around at the right time to top the plate up yet not go cold. Also a nice cold beer and a strawberry cocktail on a hot hot day. What more could you want. All you can eat you say? Done. Well looked after. Left full and happy, will be back!

We had such a great experience thanks to Natalia and Gabby! Their amazing service really made our night. My husband couldn’t stop raving about how perfect everything was—from the delicious food to the warm, welcoming vibe they created. Special thanks to Gabby for offering the chicken heart—someone ended up loving it way more than expected! We’ve been to several Fogo de Chão locations around the country, and this one definitely stands out as our favorite. Thank you again for everything! We’re definitely going back soon!

We came here for happy hour and they have some really good prices and food options. The drinks were really good too. We had the sliders to start and they were good. We then ordered some of the entrees and the flavors were very impressive. Every bite had you wanting more. This would have been a 5-star meal but the food was served cold for a few of our dishes. The broccoli and garlic mashed was cold from one dish and the steak was colder than I would have expected. The flavor made up for it but still a little downfall. I love great service and the server we had was very nice, just not very attentive. Took us a while to be greeted and then to take our order but after that, the service improved. Overall, still a really good experience and for midtown, you can't beat it.

The atmosphere is warm and upscale without feeling too fancy. Great lighting, spacious seating, and it just feels like a place where good things happen. The Market Table (their salad bar) is honestly impressive. Super fresh, well-curated, and loaded with veggies, fruits, cheeses, and all kinds of little surprises. I’d honestly come back just for that—it’s not an afterthought like most buffets. It balances out all the meat, so you don’t feel like you’re walking out with nothing but steak in your bloodstream. Speaking of which—the meat is nonstop and consistently great. Staff were quick, friendly, and kept the flow coming. At $57 for all-you-can-eat, it’s a strong value considering the quality. Whether you’re going full carnivore or just vibing with the Market Table, this place delivers. Would definitely recommend. Come hungry.

Such a wonderful experience, the vibe between workers and guests was amazing, clean and open space, we came here to celebrate our anniversary since this was the restaurant we came to on our first date, and is still amazing as we remember. The food was another crazy level with a tasty open buffet that we loved from the fruits to the steak that never ends and keeps coming and coming so I suggest to new guests to come with an empty stomach! They are either well-done (our favorite) or medium-rare cooked. The cocktails are wonderful and the clean ones maintain the liquor taste in the cocktail even when is 0 proof. 100% recommended and we'll be back to our future anniversary! ❤️

I came here the other day with my partner to celebrate my anniversary as we always had such a fantastic time here. The food is always delicious with you first picking an assortment at the food bar to your liking and then being served different types of meat freshly sliced in front of you at your seating table. This time our host and server were absolutely amazing as they helped celebrate our anniversary making it even more special. I highly recommend both the zero proof cocktails (the clean cosmo always taste sweet and delicious) as well as the normal ones. We will always be coming back to this location as it has always met our standards and more as we felt incredibly taken care of by everyone!

It's been a long time since I've seen such a high level of service in a restaurant. The reservation was completed without any problems, the waiters were extremely polite and attentive. Everything was thought out to the smallest detail, which made our dinner especially enjoyable. We were here for dinner, but we will definitely come back for lunch — we are sure it will be no less wonderful.

Came here for early dinner. Had the all you can eat meat option. The servers came fast and furious in the bringing but didn't come back afterwards even though I had the green side up. Had a good variety of cuts but my favorite was the flank steak. The salad bar had many options as well.

Excellent service at the midtown Fogo de chao! Rudy was our waiter and was fantastic. Along the staff we encountered were pretty great. We went for Saturday brunch my brother was suggested to get the indulgent experience which included a large lobster tail and dessert in addition to the full experience I had the regular along with a mimosa that was so good. I took my two little yelpers and they enjoyed the salad bar and waffles the most. I'd say it's a nice place for special occasions I was full. The end is come back I didn't get to try a few selections only because I was full.

I recently dined at Fogo de Chão in NYC with my partner celebrating each other and opted for the full churrasco experience. Having visited this location several times prior to the pandemic, I was pleased to find that the service remains consistently attentive and welcoming. From the front host staff to the servers and gauchos, everyone was friendly and professional throughout the evening. Among the various cuts offered, the sirloin and filet mignon stood out as the highlights and were my favorite out of all the options . However, I found some of the other beef cuts to be a bit too salty for my personal taste. The pork belly and chicken offerings didn't quite meet my expectations in terms of flavor or texture. And the cut of lamb was not gamey enough for me. The market place table has some fair options to choose from. Overall, Fogo de Chão in the Manhattan location is a fun place if you're in the area and doing touristy things in the area / seeing a show nearby . At around $80 per person, I found the experience to be on the expensive side, especially considering the overall quality of the meats and the market table. For someone who doesn't eat large amounts of meat, it can feel like you're paying more for quantity than for select quality. While it is a fun and social dining experience , I don't feel the value of meats quite matches the price for what you get in meats but service was great l.

Fogo de chao is an absolutely incredible (and slightly gatekept) happy hour. The Brazilian steakhouse is well known, but happy hour is a special secret. The cocktails are $10-12, wines are $8, and beers are $6-8. The best part is that bar snacks are $6 and there's a full burger option for $10. Super prices for the location and beautiful, sophisticated ambiance. I ordered the passionate caipirinha which has silver cachaca, passion fruit, and lime ($10). It's fruity, bitter, and strong, an amazing combo. We also ordered the polenta fries, sliders, and empanadas which were all very good. Unfortunately, this is a 4 start review due to the service. Our bar tender was nice enough, but the service was really slow. It was hard to get his attention and we had to reach out multiple times instead of him checking in. It's possible that he had more tables/responsibility than we realized, this slowing him down, but it was noticeable.

Made reservations to come here for my sister's birthday. This restaurant is truly for meat lovers. I've been to this chain restaurant before so it was nothing new to me. However it was my mom and sister's first time. The staff were extremely attentive and knowledgeable of all the meats, salad bar and drinks. The salad bar was nothing special, however they did have rice and beans at this spot which they didn't have in another chain I've gone to. I ended up ordering the bone marrow which I shared with my mom, one word - DELICIOUS. I was honestly surprised. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful, however the tables were way too close to each other and walking around people in their chairs and waiters coming through was a bit tight. I felt like we were always on top of others. Everything was great once the bill came. During our meal, there was a waiter going around table to table making a drink and only asked if we were interested in one. The waiter never said it would be included in our bill. We thought it was a complimentary drink so it would have been nice to have known. Regardless of that, our waiter actually gave my sister a dessert free of charge for her birthday which I thought was extremely nice! For 4 people, our bill was close to $600 so it's definitely something to take into consideration if you're only looking for a quick meal. I'd definitely come back with a completely empty stomach!

I had dinner here with my friend and had a fantastic time. The food was wonderful. The servers were amazing and the ambiance was delightful!

Great spot with indoor and outdoor eating. Great happy hour pricing for a few drinks and appetizers. Would def return again.

Thank you to Tara, Emile, Melissa and the whole staff for making my daughter Octavia's baby shower an unforgettable experience. Everything was top notch. The atmosphere, staff, food and drinks were more than we expected. It was SPECTACULAR.

I did myself a disservice not taking pictures when the food was coming around but everything was so good it was overwhelmingly amazing. We came for Valentine's Day and were very shocked to see how long we waited even though we had a reservation. But the place is huge and the workers are fantastic so it's hard to get mad at the wait once you're eating. Once you're seated time doesn't exist. The meat experience is amazing and it's one of a kind no matter how many other places imitate it. The drinks here are fantastic. So great that I forgot my entire purse at this place! The COSTUMER SERVICE AT THIS PLACE EXCEEDS MY EXPECTATIONS OF ANY PLACE. The workers are kind patient and kept me calm every step of the way even though I left my purse here. I got it back with everything in it a couple days later. Thank you so much!

We went for the Surf + Turf special. The hostess informed us that with the special we would not be offered Prime Rib and Filet Mignon, which was fine. BUT a few callouts 1. We saw our server 2x - when we sat and when I asked someone else for the check - the server delivered the check. Someone else delivered our drinks. 2. The meats that were offered- chicken, sausage and sirloin- that was it nothing else that they mention on the menu. Not at all representative of the Brazilian meats that is advertised. 3. I'm not sure if it was because of the special that we were "deemed " less than but largely ignored as other tables around us got a different experience- which was very noticeable. The special was only $15 less than the standard price so it wasn't like we were eating at a substantial discount i.e. $20 instead of $80. Lesson learned next time I spend $180 - I'll take my business elsewhere.

A modest place of meats--you'll get what you expect here. I've been to other Fogo de Chaos in various cities so I'll be basing my review from those experience. I've come to expect that quality and level of service at Fago; both were up to par but not outstanding in any particular way. We came for a friends birthday and because one of our party members had a discount here. We were promptly offered a wide selection of meats ranging from chicken, pork, sausages, and beef. The picanha was the best as expected but it only came around twice during our meal, and well into it such that many of us were nearly full. The cold salad bar was plentiful but nothing really stood out, even as a unlimited buffet option. The interior is leaning on the nicer end with a dark, moody yet formal atmosphere with a bar on the ground floor and the dining room on the bottom. The grand staircase leading down is a nice touch--didn't really add or detract from the experience.

The meat was slow to come and under seasoned. The only cut that had adequate seasoning was the Picanha. Service was also slow as we would order drinks and they took forever to come. Seeing the server at our table was rare, and we were a large party. I know this chain is quite famous, but I was not impressed and would not return if given the choice.

If you like Brazillian Steakhouse this where you should go! Premiere meats and side dishes! Location: It is located along 53rd Street. The interior is nice, cozy and little bit upscale. Only street parking. Service: they have the best employees! They always ask us if everything is fine every 5 minutes. Lol Food: The food was good! The meats are well cooked, tender and you can see where they are grilling it. One thing is that I felt like the same meats came to us twice or trice. For the price of $86 per person, I felt like I'm tasting the same meat. I even refused some of them cause I already know that I had it. Probably during our dine in there are only 6-7 meats that were given to us. The side dishes were amazing! I came back for the watermelon with spice and cheese! And they gave us small bread as well. Those breads were amazing! Price rating: 8/10. Quite pricey for the same meats that keep coming back to us. I will definitely come back here because I love Brazilian steak! Just hoping that they will have more varieties of meat.

Fred Flintstone's favorite watering hole. When you see the size of the meat they serve here, all you wanna do is shout YABBA DABBA DOO!!!! This is a perfect spot for all you carnivores out there. With friendly staff, good food, great service, and an amazing atmosphere. This place has it all!!!! This place is great for private events, family dinners, and a place to go when your significant other is too hangry for any normal meal. I love this place and so will you.

Every penny is well spent. This spot brings me sincere pleasure. Staff delivered impressively attentive care. I'm looking forward to trying more dishes at Fogo de Chao Brazilian Steakhouse. Lifting my glass to this menu!

Came here for Restuarant week. Food is not bad. Maybe since we arrive early, there were much meat selection wasn't much. The salad buffet had a wide varities of cheeses, beans (salads and hummus), soup and breads. The Meat were grilled perfectly, at least nothing was dry. The environment is very spacious and nice. The service was very pleasant. All the servers was attentive and friendly. They also gave us a complimentary slice of cake for a friend's birthday. Overall the experience was great, definitely will go back.

was there for the surf and turf event. I confirmed. We were asked to pick a seafood side for surf and turf, again, which we did. Our table was missing a light which they added eventually. This table too, was in the corner of a large dining area. The service was attentive enough. The bill, was over $100. When questioned they said what we ordered was a totally different experience. A few members of the staff reiterated that and said the booking on their list does not show my booking against the $45 event. How is this on us? Our bill was not adjusted. My guest and I ended up paying twice the amount we originally signed up for without an apology or any way to remediate their error. The one other event I went to before this, again, responding to their mailing list, I was first offered a corner table in spite of the restaurant being quite empty. I find this behavior racist and a bummer. I felt like twice, I was pumped for a good time and felt unwelcome and had to pay a premium for my presence. I get a much better experience, and value for money at other locations in New York City and won't go back.

For the price, I don't feel like this is worth it. The salad bar has a lot of great options. But the meat was all dry and they came around so slowly that we ended up getting full from waiting. They came with the chicken and sausage like 5 times and with the rib eye and other good meats only 1 time and we had to ask for it to come again (only for them to tell us that it's coming and we had to wait a lot longer).

The chef here clearly enjoys breaking new ground. The taste experience satisfies, staff helps appropriately, and quality remains evident. The space encourages letting go of stress. The team demonstrates adequate pleasantness and definite helpfulness. Make your own assessment of this restaurant.

We were fortunate to make it to the last day for the special! It included everything except filet mignon, ribeye, top sirloin and lamb chops at half the price. We were a table of 8 and did not miss those cuts at all. We were luckily seated near the kitchen entrance and were treated to the first cuts of every selection. The market bar had an ample selection. I really enjoyed my meal tonight. The flavors were all good and the meats were juicy. It is a very spacious restaurant and although it was packed, it did not feel crowded. Really enjoyed my meal and looking forward to trying the location on Long Island!

The food was delicious. I was full after the second plate. Green says go and Red is stop. The cuts of meat were phenomenal. It's nice for a date night not on New Years Day. Also if you are not a buffet eater they offer plated options as well. The salad bar had numerous of options. The service was great. I couldn't find anyone to give me the bill at the end. It was like they didn't want me to leave!

We come here often, sometimes during work lunch. It is realiable place, with reliable food level, and good price. I always get 33 USD Fraldinha menu and enjoy a lot. Service is well trained, I am happy how they operate. Ambiance is simple and fitting.

No need to go to other places to experience churascarria. Convenient location. I wish i came here before i go to Churascarria Plataforma. Meats are much better cut and well seasoned. The only meat i do not really care is garlic steak. The rest was amazing. Would definitely come back. Wish there were a fruit buffet or more fruits. Only pineapple was served.

Went for the $39 deal and it was delicious! They were very attentive and meats were all good quality.

Note: Special is here: https://fogodechao.com/thefogo44/ Unsure if they offer it still. On another note, the Market Table & Feijoada Bar is a fantastic deal for the area for lunch specifically being only $20 and is a whole lot better than any of the lackluster breakfast and lunch places around here such as Junior's or otherwise. Anyway, if you're looking to indulge in a churrascaria experience, this is probably your best bet. I would say the meat quality here at Fogo is a bit better than their competing spot Platforma with in particular the meat being less salty here. This review in particular is for the special known as the Fogo 44 though in New York City and a few other places, you might as well call it the Fogo $49 as it's $5 more. It comes with a good amount of the meats outside of the beef ribs, ribeye, NY strip, filet mignon, lamb chops, porterhouse, indulgent cuts, and seasonal cuts and is well worth it. The meats are of course served continuous throughout the meal and it includes the the market table/feijoada bar, sides, and your choice of dessert at the end and you leave stuffed. The closest thing to it currently is the Single Churrasco Cut for $40 though as the name suggests, it includes one choice of meat and no dessert which is still a good deal as you get the rest such as the market table and sides. Anyway, all special stuff aside, I remember getting a caipirinha for $10 which had silver cachaça, fresh muddled limes, and cane sugar and it wasn't that good. Way too much lime and ice but hey it's an AYCE place and all day HH so I guess you get what you get. The servers were fine coming around pretty commonly for meats including several rounds of our favorites though they were a bit pushy in terms of offering some of the premium extras such as the ($29) shrimp cocktail, shots of their fancy drink which I think were $12 or $15, and other stuff. Prior to the meats, the servers brought over some sides including Pão de Queijo/cheese bread (delicious,) roasted plantains (delicious of course,) and fried polenta with cheese (wouldn't bother as it's starch/filler.) I also stopped at the Market Table and Feijoada Bar. As noted above, this is an excellent deal for lunch as $20 gets you their wide selection of things from cold cuts to cheeses to salads to fresh fruit and of course feijoada; a black bean stew with meats commonly served with farofa. The feijoada is pretty solid here and I'm kind of happy that it's not as rich as you get to eat more of the meats. Said menu outside of the specials had a couple standouts. The Picanha/Prime Top Sirloin was as expected the best of the bunch as it was juicy, tender, and not oversalted. The Fraldinha/Bottom Sirloin was my second favorite. It was more beefy than the other beef pieces. The Alcatra/Top Sirloin was a bit less tender than the Picanha of course but well flavored and a bit less rich as there was less marbling/fat. Of course it's a beef specialist spot so if you're looking for chicken/pork/lamb, I would recommend other places. The Cordiero/Lamb Picanha was a nice change of pace as it was a bit less tender but had good flavor though with a bit of gaminess. The Linguica/Spicy Pork sausage was tasty but the Costela de Porco was a bit dry. I'd skip the Medalhoes com Bacon/Bacon Wrapped Chicken and the Lombo/Pork as both were on the salty end. The Bisteca de Porco/pork chop was a bit dry and the Frango/Chicken was pretty plain. Last was the Queijo Assado/Fire-Grilled Brazilian Cheese which was delicious but filling. The dessert choices at the end as part of the deal were the Tres Leches Cake, the Creme Brûlée, and the Chocolate Brigadero cake. I went with the latter listed as a rich truffled chocolate in a decadent chocolate cookie crust topped with chocolate ganache and sprinkles and this was easily the best of the bunch. It was rich of course but not as sweet as I thought it would be but it was a bit hard to appreciate after eating so much meat before that and I probably should taken it home. The Tres Leches was alright (the custard was a nice touch) while the Creme Brulee was decent. Food here is tasty. It's mostly worth it at full price but is an outstanding deal at $49 or for lunch.

The food was excellent! Service was great and the ambiance is very classy and upscale. I would be happy to return to this location!

It's been 10 years since my last review of this location- food was still on point but I was disappointed in the service we received. I had made a reservation for my party of 5 (a nice Saturday lunch with the family)- from the start, the host at the front desk was standoffish and told my group to just wait to the side, no explanation of whether they were getting our table ready or not. After waiting for 5-10 minutes, another host told us to just head downstairs to the dining room. We all decided to do the rodizio experience (where the servers come to your table with the freshly grilled meats and carve/serve)- food was delicious, my favorites include the sirloin steak, pork belly and the grilled cheese with honey. The meat servers were great and very friendly, and they kept coming with meat. The servers, however, were hard to get a hold of. My sister dropped her knife and it took a good 5 minutes to even be able to flag someone down for a new one. Our waters were never refilled. The one that broke the camel's back was that a server quickly cleared a plate of food that my mom wasn't done eating - he didn't even ask her if she was done and then also cleared away the mashed potatoes when we weren't done with it. I told him that we weren't done and he replied that he would bring a new one out, but this encounter really left a sour taste in my mouth. Just ask first- my mom was saving her favorites for last and he just took it away. I understand that it's a busy weekend lunch hour but we felt rushed and pushed to leave. Maybe better service when it's not as busy, but at this point I don't think I'll be back.

Always thought Fogo de Chao is a fun place for friends gathering and company dinners. Came here this past weekend with 6 people and made a reservation about a week ahead. We had to wait for about 15 mins before getting seated although we had a reservation, not sure why that's the case and wish it didn't happen. The inside was fancy, spacious, very comfortable for large groups or any party size. Our waiter did not speak much English so there were a lot of miscommunications but overall he was very attentive and fast about our requests. The food is pretty delicious. We all got the all you can eat meal and it comes with all you can eat salad bar too. I have always enjoyed the stuff they have at the salad barr, the caesar salad was very good actually, along with the cured salmon, charcuterie, and many others. The steak was decent quality as well for what you are paying. Love the garlic steak and a few others in medium rare. If you have not tried Fogo de Chao, it's definitely worth the visit!

Our server Joanna was amazing. It was busy when we went around 6:30. So we sat outside. Then moved inside when it cleared out a bit. I love the happy hour all day. Caipirinha for $10 all day! We had sliders, pastels, fries. We are not able to do the meats it's too much food, but happy to know we can just have drinks n snacks. The place is very nice.

Finally went back to Fogo de Chao after I had a $25 off coupon that was about to expire end of August. Honestly, I don't think I've done a Brazilian steakhouse experience in so many years I can't remember and may have been here at this location once over ten years ago. It's more expensive but it's still pretty awesome. Now they have an all day happy hour. Which on top of the full Churrasco experience being $79 these days it's nice to have the option to have an $8 glass of wine instead of an insanely marked up glass. I think they have a promotion with the best of brazil meats going on at the moment for like $44. Not sure what that entails but if you don't want to go ALL IN that may be totally worth it. The salad buffet is insane. That might be one of my favorite parts. I didn't even hit everything up. Cold cuts, cheese, variety of soups, every vegetable and vegetable salad you could imagine. More cheese. I'm in heaven. After a hearty portion of 'salad' we flipped down our green button to go go go for all the meats. These are served with an accompaniment of polenta fries, buttery mashed potatoes, pao de quejo (brazilian cheese bread), and sweet plantains. Which I didn't remember there being side dishes. Nice touch. I could barely make a dent in what was supposed to be at least 10-12 cuts (unlimited) of various meats. I really tried. My stomach doesn't expand like it used to. But man, there were some tasty options. A few pieces were overly salted. Not sure which it was but the crust of the meat was inedible it was so salty. That really would be the only complaint and that I wish I had more room for this. Our seat also wasn't the best. We were sat next to a maintenance room in a dark corner. They asked if we wanted to move which was nice but we were already seated and it just seemed like too much work. After our meal we went upstairs for one more glass of wine at the bar and to digest.

- [ ] Had the steak card green for over 20mins, and wasn't served at one point of time. - [ ] My girlfriend didn't get her toast with her meal. When she got it, it was cold. - [ ] My Friend didn't get a happy birthday per my request on reservation. - [ ] Server was impatient to receive orders. Didn't give some people who didn't want the endless steak choice time to decide. - [ ] Spilled water on us while pouring. - [ ] Servers asked what type of steak cook I wanted. I said medium rare and they gave me medium. This happened multiple times. - [ ] No one checked in on us to see if we were okay. - The actual quality of the food was rough. Some steak not salted enough, others salted too much. I swear I've been to other Fogo de Chaos in the past, and I've loved it. But this experience just made me resent the thought of steak. I was looking forward to a nice celebration, and received the worst food/service combination out of any other previous Fogo de Chaos experience I've ever had. Regretful that I paid.

Who thought it was a good idea to invent a restaurant where servers walk around the place swiftly dressed like Edward scissor hands to cut a heavy piece of meat a la carte? More like carpe diem because I'm surprised nobody has been fatally impaled by this practice. The buffet was ok, the meat was okay. The star of the night was the tres leeches omg it was amazing! They have good deals and the place was HYPE. Loads of people! Very clean and high class place with really good happy hour and deals. I didn't love the flavor of the meat and the buffet was kind of bland.

OooooMmmmGgggg!! A must for any meat lover! An absolutely elegant ambiance with a comfortable non-pretentious vibe! The staff were great, and very accommodating! That meat was non-stop flowing, and EVERY single portion was deliciously cooked! Needless to say, we'll be coming back here again and again for special occasions! Bon a petit!

I've done the full churrasco experience a couple of times now. Depending on when you go (lunch or dinner) it can be around $50-80. It includes the salad bar but not dessert or drinks. The salad bar at this location is underwhelming imo; it's mostly raw veg, overdressed salads, and some basic meats and cheeses. The tomato soup is great but not what you come to fill up on at a Brazilian steakhouse. For brunch, they allegedly have a make-to-order omelette station but I didn't see anyone working there or anyone ordering anything. The cuts of meat are brought out generously but it is a bit overwhelming since some are objectively better than others. It can be a bit of a game trying to decide which you want versus what you are going to pass on. I also wish they had steak sauce of some sort. The side dishes are okay but nothing special. The mashed potatoes for instance were maybe a 4/10. Totally skipped the cheese bread as I didn't want to get too full. It's fun to go periodically but I don't think the food really warrants a re-visit. If they beefed up (no pun intended) the salad bar a bit I probably would feel differently.

'Medium rare' fraldinha. Would you want to eat this? Worse than microwaved chicken breast . . . . . . Eighty five character limit

I must say, the Happy Hour deals are EXCELLENT. Great portions and great taste. Execution varies. - Caprinha: 4/5. Solid deal at $10 and it wasn't a small glass or anything either. Very sweet and very strong. I liked it. - Picanha Burger: 3/5. Good deal at $10 - large portion and came with a stack of rectangle fries (not potato; not sure what it was). Unfortunately the bread was very tough and chewy, as if it was sitting under a heat lamp for a while. Taste was good though. - Polenta fries: 5/5. Excellent deal for $6, and they gave SO MANY. Huge portion and had so many left over. Very crunchy and delicious. The aoli was good too. Service was good, but we had to wait quite a while for the food to come. Ambiance was what you'd expect from a steakhouse. Very dark and moody. Music was fine. Nothing crazy. Food quality was good but not incredible. Would come back for the deals but not dying to return necessarily. Also heads up: happy hour is all day (not sure if there are exclusions) but you must sit at the bar.

I am a regular customer at Fogo de Chao and love it. It is the most authentic Brazilian churrasco experience you can have in New York. Food is excellent , service is outstanding, the caipirinha is perfect. The only item I was unhappy about: they do not have a mousse de maracuja at the same level of quality as their other offerings. But , overall, Fogo de Chao is one of my favorite restaurants in New York ( and Miami)

Went here recently during happy hour and what a little gem! The happy hour is great and I think it might be all day? But don't quote me, we had lamb chops, beef ribs, saucy legs, and the empanadas. Everything was so great and I had a couple glasses of wine. It was a really great experience and the food was great! Service was great and the ambiance was nice.

Everything was so good! We came in celebrating my son's 17th Birthday! However, my toddler daughter was EXTREMELY overstimulated and was crying a lot so I was bit stressed out while at the restaurant! Everyone was so understanding and was so polite! Super accommodating especially our waitress for the evening Andrea! She was beyond nice and I saw that she could see how stressful it was dealing with an overstimulated two year old! Needless to say my daughter calmed down and the night went fine! The food was amazing! The ambience was GORGEOUS! Definitely a beautiful date night spot! I wanna go back maybe toddler free the next time! Thank you all for being so patient! Between the service and the food we will be back!

Came here for an early dinner. The host was very friendly. The dining room was still empty. The dining area does get crowded. It's best to make reservations. The restaurant has two levels. The top level is the bar and the bottom is the dining area. We selected the Churrasco experience. The server gave us a on/off card to indicate if you still wanted more meat or not. The salad bar is self service. We might have came too early so the meat selection was quite slow. I was a bit disappointed because all the beefs I had was tough. The cheese bread was tasty and hot. The salad bar was ok but I felt like it was full of starch items. The manager did go around the restaurant to check on all guests, which was really nice. I would have hope the server did the same because we needed to ask for water refill several times.

I had the absolute worst dining experience at Fogo de Chão in Manhattan, and I would not recommend it to anyone. From the moment we arrived, the host and hostess were incredibly rude and dismissive. We had a 7 pm reservation, but we were told we would have to wait because "our table wasn't ready." Fine, no big deal-- but when I inquired about the table not being ready after 20 minutes of the reservation time, they became agitated. The old white man at the front, who looked like Ebinezer Scrooge from A Christmas Carol, rudely told me that we couldn't be seated until the other person in our party arrived. I said, "Sir, I'm about to spend a lot of money in this restaurant, can we please be seated?" I was reprimanded by him in an unprofessional manner. But here's where it gets worse: as soon as the staff found out we were planning to leave and head next door to Nusr-Et (Salt Bae's steakhouse), suddenly, a table "became available." Coincidence? It's clear that they were more concerned about our potential departure than providing any kind of genuine customer service. Throughout the evening, the waiters seemed to avoid our table entirely, passing by repeatedly without so much as a glance in our direction, while they were happily serving the tables around us. It felt like we were being deliberately ignored, and it wasn't just subtle--it was blatant. The disrespect was palpable, and honestly, it felt like we were being treated differently because of who we were. Our waitress was sarcastic, demeaning and unhelpful. I noticed what I can only describe as microaggressions and even macroaggressions from the staff. Their condescending tone and the way they addressed us made my girlfriend, my niece and I feel unwelcome and uncomfortable in a way we've rarely experienced in a restaurant. This wasn't just bad service; this was a clear lack of respect, and it felt racially charged. The dismissive behavior, the blatant disrespect, and the sudden urgency to seat us once they realized we might leave for a competitor's restaurant made it clear that we were not valued patrons. I'm genuinely shocked at how poorly we were treated here. Save your money and time and go somewhere that actually values its customers. This place is an absolute joke. Worst $300+ I've ever spent.

This place was great to say the least, the atmosphere was calm, intimate and enjoyable overall, the servers were splendid and made me laugh all night. The food was fresh and flavorful perfect date night!! I 10/10 recommend this location!

I have gone to this location 4x, most recently to their all day Happy Hour for my birthday. The Happy Hour is great bargain with $6 bar bites which are delicious. Service was very good. I think the Happy Hour drinks could have used a little more kick.

A friend invited me to brunch on a Sunday to celebrate my birthday. I was the first one in my party to arrive. The host asked if they could put my coat in coat check and I agreed. Once the entire party arrived, we went downstairs. The area that my friends liked to sit in wasn't open. We sat down and ordered our drinks. The group decided to participate in the Churrasco Experience that included the Brunch Market Table. I ordered a Jorge's Sour it was delicious. The addition of Malbec in the drink tasted great. I went to the market table, and I was surprised that there weren't any eggs on the table. The meats that I enjoyed the most was the lamb chops; they were very small. I wish they gave two of those. As the time went on, I inquired about the Beef Ribs because I never saw them come out. I found out that you had to request them, and they would be made at that time. The beef ribs were delicious, and they were seasoned well. We ended up ordering a second one b/c we had someone in the group that didn't eat pork. I didn't like that another server came to the table and told him to save some for another table. They make table side Caipirinha drinks. I ordered the Strawberry Hibiscus; I wish I would've ordered the Passionate Caipirinha because the Strawberry one was very sweet. I was surprised with a Chocolate Molten Cake with candles for my birthday. It was delicious. Chocolate is my favorite dessert. Overall, I had a great time.

Have to admit the happy hour bites is a good deal. I get to sit down in a comfortable atmosphere with a friendly bartender for the same price as grab n go's these days (minus the beer :-)). Approved.

I Went To Fogo de Chao at W 53rd Street Tonight In Manhattan and I Was Very Pleased With The Amazing Service I Received Over There The Food Was Amazing ,The Market Table was a piece Of Paradise that I had to control myself not to get too full before The Large Selection of Delicious Meat was Served,one better then the other,I Never eat So Much in 1 hour ,Food was so Well prepared and Delicious that I couldn't Stop,The Service Was Amazing ,I Want To Thank The General Manager Natalia and All The Staff That Made Sure I Had the Best Treatment ever,Roberto ,Gabriela ,Thiago,Samir and others that unfortunately I can't remember their Names,but all I can Say Is Thank You Very Much for the Amazing Service Congratulations Natalia for the Great Staff and Service You did To Us Me and my Friends was very Satisfied and Super Happy For the Way Everything Came Together, We definitely Will Come Back and Bring More Friends To Enjoy The Delicious Food and Great Service Many Time...God Bless You All....

The meats are amazing but the sides could be a little bit better. Our service was kinda and attentive, the bathrooms are clean and all in all it was a good time. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the drinks, they were okay at best. Other than that I would come back!

I love experience dining and this dinner offers exactly that. Ambiance is perfect, dimly lit and robust, very NY city midtown vibe. Servers were nice. The meat selection was amazing, they served everything from chicken to ribeye, all were really tasty!! The mashed potatoes were something special. And I enjoy the buffet, the salad bar portion is extensive, which lots of options. I wish there were a few more hot items offered. All in all the food was flavorful and good quality. Weekends include a nice daytime happy hour, which was a plus, we had nice glasses of $8 wine.

I've always liked Fogo but for sone reason this branch in Manhattan is just not it. Ordered a few ala carte steaks from their menu because maybe the buffet was just not cooked well but our dishes came back bland, some under cooked, some over. Better visit the one in Queens, or any other branch actually. Just avoid this one.

The finest Manhattan churrasqueria where the gaucho lunch is an amazing value. My Michelin days are limited by finances so I'm pivoting. Gaucho lunch is $20. A steal!! Ate: Gaucho lunch Argentine Malbec $8 Framgo chicken cutlet $12 Total: $40 before tip The salad bar is incredible! Tons of fresh options & salads of roasted eggplants peppers. There was a butternut squash soup and a fejoida bar. Wow! The $8 wine was excellent! Where can you find a good glass of red at that price? You also get fried yucca, cheese bread, & sweet plantains Next time better pacing & . I might be their new lunch regular.
