This place is great if you are a meat lover. But the best thing I have discovered here is their happy hour which last all day. It is only in the bar area but the prices are great for the quality that you get. The bartenders are top notch and they are experts in making drinks. The cocktails for the happy hour start at $10 and they are really good. When seated they give you complementary bread that is infused with cheese. The staff is super friendly and attentive. I highly recommend the happy hour in the bar if you are looking for high quality food at a steal of a price. I will definitely become a regular here.

We stopped by for dinner with a group of four friends to celebrate a milestone birthday. The guest of honor loves meat and all-you-can-eat spots, so this was the perfect choice. When we arrived at 5:30 p.m., the restaurant was nearly empty, but it filled up by the time we left two hours later. It’s a spacious venue. We enjoyed the salad bar included with the full experience meal, and everything was delicious. Seafood costs extra, but we were too full to order anything more—we practically rolled out of there! Service was extremely friendly and accommodating to our requests through the evening. The ambiance was nice but casual enough for people to dress down. It’s an excellent spot for celebrating with family and friends on any occasion. Parking is easy during the day, but evenings, especially on weekends, can be more challenging, so be sure to arrive early.

Amazing experience at Fogo de Chão! The atmosphere and service were outstanding. A special thanks to Samuel for his kindness and professionalism—his knowledge of the meats and recommendations made our dinner even better. The food was delicious, and having Samuel speak Spanish was a great touch that made us feel even more comfortable. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you, Samuel, for making our night so special!

Had lunch with a friend on a Saturday at Fogo de Chao to experience the Brazilian cuisine. As no reservation was made, we had to wait about 15 mins for a table. We selected the Select Cut option from the Entree section (lamb for me and bottom sirloin for my friend) which seems a good choice. Overall, the portion of meat served per person was big (two rounds of serving) and the quality of the meat was also good. To add on, the salad bar (Market Table) was a blast to me as well. In addition, the server also served additional side dishes (fried banana, corn bread and mashed potatoes) per table. It is indeed a very pleasant experience for both of us.

Fogo de Chão was the perfect place to celebrate our wedding anniversary! The food was incredible, especially the perfectly cooked meats, and the service was top-notch. I want to give a huge shout-out to Samuel for his outstanding service—he was always attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. His enthusiasm and professionalism truly made our celebration extra special. We had a fantastic evening and will definitely be returning. Thank you, Samuel, for making our anniversary unforgettable!!!

Churrasco is the way to go when visiting Fogo de Chao. The gem of all the meats that came through is the Picanha, Pork Belly and Parmesan Pork. The sirloin cut was actually surprisingly delicious too. Talk about protein overload that even carnivores will experience meat sweats after awhile. It was so good. The buffet style vegetable, fruit and soup compliments were a refreshing relief. Service was awesome. Destiny took care of our group, a rather large but manageable mix of young and old adults. The rest of the staff was accommodating and serviced our needs the whole night. With a reservation, we were seated expeditiously without hesitation. Destiny introduced the menu thoroughly with a welcoming smile. The night progressed accordingly ending with yummy dessert. For first timers, this was a great experience. What a great place to eat. We highly recommend.
