For our first time here. This was a wonderful experience! Our server Dede did an amazing job of helping our table. When our table was waiting and hoping for specific choices of food she would let them know. She even helped us take a picture of our party. Christmas decorations were adorable and pretty also. Very lovely experience. Very full. Thank you! - Jenny, Chris, and family.

Last night I took my partner to celebrate his 24th birthday to Fogo de Chão in Thousand Oaks. It was out first time, the food was amazing, the cooks did a great job, all the staff that brings you the meat are so polite! Very elegant. Katherine was our server and she was such a sweetheart! Made us feel very welcomed, attended to us with such a great attitude and never once made us feel rushed. Jason also attended to us as we were finishing up, and was also very kind and made sure we had everything we needed. Also it was very awesome to talk with Leonardo! I over heard him speak Portuguese, so I called him over and he had a conversation with my partner who also speaks Portuguese. I loved that for my partner, because I hardly get to hear him speak Portuguese, so that was a lot of fun! My partner and I will be returning! It was a great experience!

I chose to host my mom’s 60th birthday celebration at Fogo De Chao Thousand Oaks due to their sizable private room. Overall my experience, from coordination before the event to the day of the event, was great. The made the event planning process easy & pleasant. Although it was a bit cozy for a guest count of 60 (maxed out capacity although they had warned me it might a bit tight) my guests had a great time & enjoyed the food. A big shout out to Biana who made the day of experience incredibly smooth. She was available the entire time, anticipated our needs, and was incredibly accommodating to all of our requests. The facility & the team as a whole were wonderful. I would highly recommend to host a private event with them.

We had such a wonderful experience dining here! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Jayden was the best server, very attentive without ever being intrusive, knew the menu inside and out. Overall, both the restaurant and the service exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends and family!

1st time to this restaurant and we had an amazing experience. Went to celebrate my Fathers 80th Birthday and our server Crissy went above and beyond to take care of us. We were a table of 8 people and even though the restaurant was a bit on the busy side she made sure we had everything we needed. She made our dinning experience very pleasant. Top notch service and the food was delicious. So much to choose from. Definitely come HUNGRY.

Yesterday evening my family and I stopped by to have drinks and appetizers. We have never had a full buffet, but the happy hour offers are excellent. Lamb Lollipops and Cocktails were excellent. It was fine food in a very alluring setting. The all-day happy hour is a brilliant idea if your not in the mood to stuff yourself with the buffet. The evening started off with minor glitches and issues but Assistant Manager on duty, Ingrid Krotova, smoothed over these initial difficulties. She attended to our needs was very engaging and professional in her demeanor and by the end of the meal she had healed over any initial misunderstandings by making small gestures that made us feel welcomed. She went out her way to ensure our evening was as pleasant as possible. She made every attempt not only to make our dining experience a pleasant one but one where she also lent a hand to her wait and busing staff in the performance of their duties. We shall return and continue to delight in the happy hour menu selections. Sometimes less, is more!

I’m a big fan of the Fogo de Chao chain, but this one is the jewel of the crown! Brand new restaurant, the best servers, food is great all the time and they also offer some brunch options! I love it! I would say our experience here was pristine!

We celebrated our son's birthday at Fogo de Chão in Thousand Oaks, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff made us feel genuinely valued throughout the evening. What stood out most were the incredible waiters serving the various cuts of meat — not only were they attentive in explaining each selection, but they also took the time to personally connect with us. Their friendly demeanor and engaging conversations made the evening feel truly special. Every detail — from the delicious food to the thoughtful service — made this a birthday celebration to remember. Highly recommend for any special occasion or just a memorable night out!

Fogo de Chao in TO is a MUST GO SPOT! The food is amazing and so fresh:) All the dishes are well executed and the atmosphere is perfect. We love coming here for a girls day or just to treat ourselves! Highly recommend Jason who goes out of the way to make you feel welcome and remembered. Market Table is fantastic and any dessert!

This was an amazing foodie experience and I highly recommend! An absolute MUST! Such a fabulous dining adventure here at Fogo de Chao! This location at The Lakes in Thousand Oaks is so nice... plenty of parking, beautiful dining room and beautiful patio seating as well. The service is great! The hostesses kindly greet you when you walk in and literally right when you're seated the server comes and introduces herself and for us first timers, offered a quick run down of what their dining experience is all about... BIG SHOUT OUT TO OUR WONDERFUL SERVER SARAH! She was a doll! So thorough and attentive throughout our meal. We never felt rushed or forgotten and she went out of her way to make sure our dinner was awesome as did the rest of the staff throughout our time there. Not overkill- just professional and friendly. The food! Was so good! We started with their seafood tower which was excellent! The lobster tail, (4 small quarters-a few bites each), was so good! Also included 4 tasty claws, about 8 shrimp, some crab legs (very messy and hard work to get the meat out) and very fresh tasty mussels. I wish they included oysters and I also wish they'd serve the crab already shelled cocktail style. I think $112 is overpriced and only because I'm comparing it to Mastros which offers about the same amount of seafood including oysters and a large helping of crab cocktail (and no mess) for $80. Still I do recommend it just be prepared for the mess :o) The Market Table & Feijoada Bar is amazing! So much to choose from and so hard to not over eat! Included with the meals whether you choose an entree or the full CHURRASCO which is where they're constantly bringing a variety of meats to the table! 2 of us had that and 2 of us ordered the SINGLE CHURRASCO CUT with top & bottom sirloin *excellent! Then of course we finished off with an espresso martini and shared the Brûlée Cheesecake oh my gosh drool drool! So good! This truly was an amazing dinner and clearly I recommend it! Very pricey (personally think it's a little overpriced) and honestly not a restaurant I'd come to other than for special occasions and we don't mind spending money on an excellent dinner but for four people w/drinks and an appetizer you're looking at a $500 meal! Enjoy!!

Shout out to Manny!!! Great service!!! he takes care of the customers very well and he has a good humor. The ambiance and place is really nice. It's decorated as Christmas season already and you can photos with it. The food is always fresh. Only thing that needs improvement is to put more option in the salad bar and consistent cleaning/checking of toiletries in the restroom, but other than that, everything is great!

My husband treated my mom and I took a fantastic Thanksgiving meal! The Thanksgiving menu was incredible, and there was even turkey included in the market table! As someone who does not eat red meat and is dairy free, I still feel very welcomed, and there are so many delicious choices to choose from! I had multiple plates of fresh fruits, vegetables, smoked salmon, and turkey! My mom and husband really enjoyed the Churrasco experience and we sat outside in a gorgeous seating area -- we can't wait to bring more family members back!!

We finally made it back to Fogo de Chao last night and it was a much better experience than the last time. We walked into a full busy restaurant with reservations and we didn't have to wait long. They came around often with their variety of meats which were almost all very tasty and tender. The service wasn't the best as the server wasn't the most attentive but the food was very good.

Our dining experience at Fogo de Chão was absolutely phenomenal! The food was incredible as always - the picanha were cooked to perfection. What truly made our night, however, was our server, Dee Dee. Dee Dee was fantastic she was very attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish.

Came here at opening hours for the all you can eat experience. There was a delay in the meats coming out. Salad bar was good. Once the meats were ready, they were back to back. Tasteful! Bring your appetite to get your monies worth.

It was our first time visiting on a Friday night, and overall we had a great experience. We made a reservation and were seated quickly, which was a nice start. It's beautiful inside. The salad bar was impressive, offering everything from rice and beans to charcuterie, hummus, fresh salads, and more. Everything we tried was fresh and delicious. For the main course, we got to try most of the meats they offered, and for the most part, they were very tasty. We were there for about an hour before we finally asked for the filet mignon -- and while they did bring it out eventually, it was right at the end of our meal when we were already too full to enjoy it properly. I do think if we hadn't asked, we might not have gotten it at all. My sister ordered the surf and turf with the lobster tail, which was excellent. The service felt a little scattered -- we were first greeted by one server but then helped by several others. It worked out fine, though they did forget to bring out our sides (mashed potatoes and plantains). When asked half way through our meal our server brought them. The molten cake was yummy and the cheesecake was interesting. I loved the concept but the cheesecake itself was not good. Overall, for the price, it was worth it -- you definitely get plenty of food, so come hungry! And don't skip the little rolls -- they're delicious!

Fogo de Chaos all day happy hour is where it's at! I fell in love and now have a new, awesome happy hour spot. Located at the Lakes in Thousand Oaks fogo has nice views from their outdoor covered patio as they are on the lack but the indoor seating is also really lovely, much more elevated and fancy inside then I expected. I was more casual when I came in so I opted for their outdoor patio which was lovely. Justin was my server and he was awesome! Super personable and helpful throughout my dining experience. He provided regular check ins and cleared plates accordingly. I was super appreciative that he also gave me menu recommendations that were solid and helpful. Such a nice guy, I would definitely ask to sit at one of his tables again. The staff overall here are very nice, manager even came to check on me halfway through the meal, very attentive and kind staff here. Much appreciated because service is always a big factor on if I'd come back to a place or not and it's safe to say Fogo's team is A+. Back to their all day happy hour. A truly fantastic and well priced menu. I was shocked how many meat dishes they had for really reasonable prices. The happy hour menu had great options and plenty of cocktails. Prices were really good for what you get. I got two appetizers from the happy hour menu and a mocktail (non happy hour) and my meal was around $30-something bucks. At a nice Brazilian steakhouse that is a steal. I'd recommend both dishes I tried. Justin recommended the lamb lollipops which were hands down my favorite bite of the night! Perfectly cooked, juicy, and a great mint forward dipping sauce. A good amount of little lamb slices as well. He also recommended their burger which I'll try next time, sounded fantastic but I couldn't eat that much lol. Another dish I'd recommend is their beef empanadas. They are tiny (not in a bad way), perfectly happy hour - appetizer sized bites. The empanadas were crispy with a beef filling and their sauce they serve it with which was like an aioli of some sorts was amazing. Delicious! The complimentary bread cheesy bites also were tasty, hard to not devour them all. I'd say you can skip their mocktails, or at least the one I had. I got the passionfruit based mocktail and it was fine. Nothing special. Was refreshing but for the price I would expect a cute garnish or more flavor. Next time just go with one of their signature cocktails. All in all though Fogo was truly great and the perfect spot for a date night or hanging with some friends. I'd definitely go back again soon. Thanks for the great service and tasty food, really had a nice meal here.

For Mother's Day we decided to bring Mom to Fogo de Chão, part of my Mom's family is from Goiânia and anytime we can get Feijoada my Mom is happy. We had reservations, and as soon as we arrived we got seated. UNFORTUNATELY one of the chairs had some type of nasty liquid on the seat ( maybe a child had an accident) I can't say for sure what it was but it was disgusting. NOTE I told one of the hostess about the chair and she told me she would send someone over but never did. Then a few minutes later another young lady came over to ask if our order had been taken, I told her about the chair: she immediately left to get cleaning products but in the end instead of cleaning the chair she removed it from the table. So our 1st impression became tarnished by the chair incident. BEFORE I get to the food and service, I want to make note that FOR WHATEVER REASON, the guest receipt shows a larger count of people ( it is reflecting 7 but we only had 5 ) plus it indicates that we had 2 KIDS COMP FOOD price $0.00 I don't appreciate feeling like anyone is doing me favors, we paid for our food NOTHING we got was COMP/FREE and we did not have 7 people.. only 5 of us had lunch and we are all adults NO CHILDREN!! So I don't know why my bill reflects incorrect information. (NOTE I did not notice the kids comp 7 people issue until I got home and was filing the receipt away. Now the food: EXCELLENT Now the service: EXCELLENT The ambiance was loud but we came during Mother's Day Brunch so the place was full with families enjoying FAMILY TIME, therefore it was understandably loud due to all the HAPPY people celebrating Mama's Day!

All you can eat meats and surf and turf is the specialty here. We took my son for his birthday and he loved it. If you don't eat meat there are several vegan options and fantastic lobster crab cakes and sea bass all incredibly delicious. The salad bar is also incredible as are lobster mashed potatoes soups and cheesy bread. The servers are great they keep the meats and explain all the cuts. They have a delicious selection of wines including Malbec, rose, and cabernet. Beautiful location in the Lakes in Thousand Oaks. We topped it off with the crème brûlée cheesecake and the chocolate lava cake.

I've dined here a couple of times - both all you can eat and a la carte, and you will definitely leave feeling full. However, whether you leave feeling satisfied depends on what you're looking for. In terms of all you can eat, the piranha is the best and most flavorful cut. I also appreciate that you can ask your server for a specific doneness. Short of that, everything else falls flat. Pork belly - dry, bacon-wrapped steak - overcooked, top and bottom sirloins - needed salt. The market table - don't waste your time, and the table side pao de queijo - oily and too heavy. I was also disappointed with their a la carte bone-in Wagyu ribeye, which was tough and lacked the classic marbling you would expect with this cut. Honestly, all their meats seemed like choice cuts in my opinion. Service was great, and ambiance is upscale, especially for an all you can eat restaurant. With that being said, I'd probably only come back for a group outing when the occasion is more about the experience rather than the food.

I don't eat beef, but my boyfriend does, so we decided to go to this Brazilian steakhouse since they also offer pork and chicken. I was excited to try it, but honestly, it didn't go as I hoped. First of all, I waited around 15 minutes for any chicken or pork to come by, while steak kept coming nonstop. My boyfriend really enjoyed his steak, so that's definitely a plus for beef lovers. But when I finally got some chicken, it was completely dry. Then I tried the pork with parmesan, and it was so tough I could barely cut it. I was also looking forward to the salad bar, but it was pretty disappointing. Maybe it was because we came on a Monday and there weren't many people, but a lot of the items looked like they hadn't been restocked. The pineapple I took was still green and not sweet at all. The only thing from the salad bar I really liked was the corn salad--it was actually delicious. I understand this place focuses mainly on beef, but I think the other meats should still be tasty and well-prepared too. It kind of felt like they didn't put much care into anything besides the steak. The grilled cheese with honey was amazing, and the service was good. The atmosphere was cozy and nice too. Overall not a place for me.

This is my 2nd time at a Fogo de Chao, but my husband's first time, along with his parents. This location used to be a PF Changs, but now it's been changed into Fogo. We ordered the usual meats buffet for the adults, and ordered a regular a la carte burger for the kid. The meats kept coming as long as our card was positioned on the "green color". I didn't even make it out to the salad / soup / cold cuts buffet area, even though they had some good things there. Some meats taste better than others, but you wouldn't know which one until you tasted all of them. haha.

We came to Fogo de Chao for Sunday brunch and really enjoyed the selection at the buffet. For $34 per person, you get a wide selection of fruits, vegetable dishes, cheeses, and sliced cold meats. They also have a hot buffet side that includes rice and beef. Belgian waffles are also available. The service was very courteous and quick. We also enjoyed the elegant dining room. This is a good place for private parties because they have a separate dining room for that. Would definitely come back for the buffet!

Food was delicious, and the Service was excellent. Jasmine was informative and attentive, and the personnel bringing the delicious food around were very patient when I forgot the tongs initially lol. Great Ambiance and can't wait to go again! (Especially for the amazing Brazilian cheese with honey!)

So far I've been to this Fogo de Chao three times, and this most recent experience started not on a good note. We were skipped when they came around for meat multiple times. They looked like they'd were short servers so it was a bit understandable, but after we were skipped a few more times we spoke with from what I believe was the manager. She was very receptive and accommodating and kept checking back to make sure we had a good experience. Favorite cut of meat here was the picanha. I would come back just for this cut of meat alone. Overall the service could've been better, but thanks to the manager she definitely turned it around and genuinely felt like she cared about our experience there. I would come back.

We came for brunch and really enjoyed every aspect of our dining experience, from service, atmosphere, music level, pretty much everything.... except for the meats. Being huge meat eaters, we ordered the Full Churrasco, the options at the market table were a nice variety, I enjoyed the chicken salad corn salad and smoked salmon. Being Sunday brunch there was an omlette bar as well, but I personally didn't want to fill up on that when I was there for the meat. Back to the meat... I understand the process of curing/preserving the meat uses coarse salt, but it was exceptionally OVERLY salty and we unanimously agreed it ruined the experience. One of the diners has high blood pressure and opted to steer clear of the meats. The rest enjoyed the chicken and politely ate the rest of their plates. Maybe its a location issue, but we've been to another Fogo location and don't recall it being so unbearably salty, maybe they do a better job at scraping off the salt prior to serving at the other location, making it enjoyable to eat? The other location provides the tables with the cheesy bread puffs, here we had to request them and got the standard bread from the market table instead. Also several of the cuts were chewy and fatty, the rounds were inconsistent. The filet made the rounds to our table 3 times, but not the rib eye, until the very end when we had to ask for it and were already near full. That was very fatty and salty as well. We had to ask for a few items and drink refills several times, but overall service was good. There is plenty of free parking, the Lakes are a very nice area in TO, right next to the Civic Arts Plaza. We would still go to Fogo but would go to the other location next time.

The service here was unbelievably bad. The meats were tasteless, raw, and some even smelled so bad that I had to ask the server to take them away immediately. I waited over an hour for a simple lamb chop that never arrived--all because they were "too busy." If you're that busy, be honest with customers instead of charging $100 per person for terrible food and nonexistent service. This was an absolutely unacceptable dining experience.

I've been here before and loved it, so when my husband suggested going again, I was all in. When we arrived, we were seated right away with no wait, and the restaurant itself is beautiful. Unfortunately, everything else fell short. Our first waitress was friendly and explained the menu, but after that, she disappeared and we ended up with at least three different servers. Service was slow and scattered. We waited a very long time before any meats came around, and when they did, the quality just wasn't there. Even the filet mignon was chewy, and we were only offered about three different cuts total. Between each offering, there were long gaps where we just sat waiting. When we asked for drinks, they literally told us, "Oh, I forgot." This happened multiple times, with multiple servers. Everyone was polite enough, but the service did not match the price point at all. The brunch menu was also disappointing. The food at the salad and dessert bar looked like it had been sitting out for hours, and no one was checking on it. My daughter wanted more strawberries, and I asked the servers by the meat station, but they all ignored me. I asked someone who came out of the kitchen; he said "okay" and walked away, but nothing was ever refilled. It really felt like nobody cared. The manager (a blonde lady) was just sitting at the bar, completely disengaged. She never checked on guests or acknowledged anyone, which gave off a vibe of "don't bother me unless you have to." At the end, we were given a check for only $26. My husband looked at it and immediately said it must be wrong because we ordered brunch, drinks, and extras that easily totaled over $100. Being the honest man he is, he pointed it out to the servers so they could correct it. Overall, the experience was very disappointing. The meats weren't great, the brunch options looked old and unappetizing, and the service was forgetful and inattentive. Sadly, I wouldn't return or recommend this restaurant. For the price, there are plenty of other steakhouses that at least meet the basic standard of good food and service. Don't waste your money here.

This time around I had a much more pleasant experience! I sat inside and it was comfortable and I really enjoyed the live music. The food was fantastic again and this time we had a lot more options and they were coming out much more often. I still think it was mostly beef options. I had great service, we were checked on very frequently. It seemed like we had two waiters at one point though so I'm not sure who was our main waiter. Definitely recommend trying fogo!

I love that they have an all day happy hour if I don't want to eat buffet. Their picanha burger with polenta fries are so worth it and delicious. If you wanted to eat the all you can eat salad bar, it is only $18 for lunch. Service was great and ambiance was nice.

My absolute new favorite location! I've been to a few Fogo's but this one is by far my favorite. I love how calming the atmosphere is here along with how spacious it is. I noticed other locations always feel crowded with barely any walking room. The food was extremely fresh & delicious & the service was friendly & accommodating. I love that we were constantly checked on & never had to waive anyone down. The salad bar was also 10/10 very well stocked with a variety of fresh & flavorful options. I came here for my birthday so they also let me choose any dessert off the menu & gave it a cute bday twist. Highly recommend coming here for your birthday & make sure you sign up on their website for their bday reward so that you can get $25 off your check. Overall, great experience I will always come back to this location now that I know about it!

First time here 11/23 and very disappointing. Making the reservation I let them know it was our anniversary and, nothing. No acknowledgement. Salad bar excellent. Some items were empty. The meats were very disappointing. Grizzle and fatty on some steak and overcooked and dry. Chicken overdone and very dry. Lamb tasted very gamie. Service below average. Dirty plates needed to be removed and, we had to ask. Expensive for a poor experience. Will not return ever.

Fogo de Chao is one of my favorite restaurants in Ventura County. It is great for a special occasion or just to stop in for lunch or dinner when you're craving it. Food: There is a good variety of meats that come out to your table. The meats are usually cooked to medium rare and you can request more doneness if that is your preference. Compared to Texas de Brazil in Oxnard, there is more selection at the salad/sides bar at Fogo and the meats tend to be less salty. The cocktails are very good and usually priced well. Service: The wait staff here are always on the go visiting tables to cut meats. The front check in desk is also attentive. We usually have reservations when dining here, so our waits are never long. Ambiance: I love the restaurant atmosphere and location. It's very clean, modern, and classy inside. The outside of the restaurant has a nice view of The Lakes. Parking is easy and free in the shared parking lot, nearby the restaurant. There are also private rooms for special occasions and a larger bar area compared to Texas de Brazil in Oxnard. In summary, come visit here for any occasion and you'll never leave hungry. Having lunch and dinner options is a big plus when comparing to Texas de Brazil.

Food is great , but I've been to this location twice and the service just isn't great. The last visit our waitress (Catherine) didn't even bring us cheese bread or the small plates that usually come with the full experience. She never asked if we wanted drinks other than the water. She was terrible and they weren't even busy. We were celebrating a graduation and a birthday the graduate was wearing his sash and she didn't even offer a congratulations and also didn't offer the birthday dessert. We noticed she gave the ‍‍couple that came in the cheese bread she was terrible and unfriendly until it was time to pay and of course tip all of a sudden she knew how to smile, speak and be friendly.

My husband and I did date night last Friday at the Thousand Oaks location and had the best customer service!! From our server, John to Jason, customer service rep and Ingrid, front house manager. Nowadays customer service is EVERYTHING! I live in the San Fernando Valley and the Woodland Hills location is closer but the service was nowhere near what we had at the T.O. location, it's so worth the few extra miles. John and Jason were on top of making sure we had what we needed/wanted. Jason made us feel like old friends! And of course the food was great! We'll be back soon!! Ask for John if you want a great server!!!

For the first time, my cousin and me, both around 80, had a special experience here. Want to share: -The location: Very convenient, yet beautiful and quiet. -The decoration: Well-designed, with a high-class look. -The food: Rather delicious, with reasonable price. Oh, the lamb chops are really good besides the beef. -The service: Excellent: Boss Lorenzo's very understanding, patience and gentle. The girls Biana, Chrissy etc. tried every means to satisfy us, especially when we behaved like trouble makers due to ignorance of the menu... Will come again.

Food is consistent - wherever you go. The side selection is not that much but you don't really go there for the sides. Small place but packed. Came here a bit earlier fir dinner otherwise you have to wait - even on a weekday. Staff are attentive, polite, & helpful. I love that they have a moving bar - careful on the cocktails, it taste good but its strong.

My boyfriend brought me here for my birthday. We made a reservation. It was our first time at this place. The staff were very friendly and our waiters, Jason and Jake, were great! They made the experience so lovely and made sure we were well taken care of. Fogo de Chao is a very exquisite restaurant. There even was some live music in the outdoor seating area. Their food was all around so delicious. From the salad bar to the bread and meats, everything was above our expectations. They also accommodated my birthday by gifting me a desert which was one of my favorite deserts ever! I look forward to eating here again soon!

I've been to this location multiple times, and I can tell you firsthand that you're better off avoiding dinner here. If you're looking for quality food, skip this place--there are far better options nearby. The service is consistently poor, and while the ambience is the best thing they have going for them, it's overshadowed by how loud and chaotic the buffet-style atmosphere is. If you want a nice evening out, do yourself a favor and choose a better restaurant. This one simply doesn't deliver where it matters.

We ate at Fogo de Chão's bar during happy hour with Adam as bartender. He was attentive and helpful with recommendations. Ordered shrimp & crab tacos, empanadas, filet mignon, dessert, drinks, and coffee. Food was delicious!! The ambiance at the bar is really nice and private, the high top tables and plenty of table room. Adam provided great service--he was great with conversation.

Jessica and Jason provided exceptional service along with the rest of the staff for our Thanksgiving meal! Will be coming back again to enjoy the homey ambiance!
