Wow! What an experience. The place is so beautiful and open. The salad bar had so many options and unique dishes. There were so many varieties of meat to have, all served at your table. The sausage had a unique but appealing taste. The key lime pie was so delicious. My other table members had lobster and crab cakes. They said it was all delicious. The cheese bread was the best I have ever had. The servers were very attentive and friendly. It was an amazing experience and worth the money. A definitive must experience.

Food was great as always! First time coming for the brunch and it was amazing!!! Anna, Madison and James were so attentive to us from the moment we sat down until we left! My daughter was on crutches and they went above and beyond to help her and make sure she had the food she wanted, even from the salad bar. We will for sure be here for Easter Brunch!! Food is always fresh, place is very clean too. Best salmon I have ever had! The food is great but the servers are what really make it memorable and enjoyable!

We had a reservation at 5:15pm and waited 45min to be seated ! The wait was worth it for sure! We had the chicken and steaks options! And for dessert we had the cheesecake brûlée!. Also to take into consideration that we went on a busy weekend of Valentine’s Day! So worth it! Elijah was a great host to us as well! And the other servers! Well done for our first time here! Totally recommend this place 100%..for a busy weekend, this team deserved a lot of credit 😊

Fogo has always been a top five place to eat on my list. My normal location in Rosemont was booked so I visited this location. The food is always excellent but at this location they didn’t stop by with all the meat selections that I’m use too. Nevertheless everything that ate was great. It was valentines weekend so I understand the slowness. My biggest issues that night was the crowd inside by the front entrance. I had a reservation but they sat people on a first come basis. This was upsetting when I get there early and someone with a reservation an hour after me is called to their table. As it was extremely busy we had to wait by people that were eating which was unpleasant. I know the people eating there felt irritated. It was difficult maneuvering through that crowd just to go to the washroom. Normally a few managers are always walking around checking on you, but I did not see one. I wanted to voice my concerns and advice on how to fix it.

We couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate our 3rd anniversary! The ambiance was perfect, the food was absolutely delicious, and the service was exceptional. A special thank you to Angie, who went above and beyond to make our night extra special—her kindness and attentiveness truly made a difference. Every detail was perfect, and we’re so grateful for such a memorable evening. We’ll definitely be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I know $65 seems like a lot for a meal, but it's not at this place when you consider everything you get. This isn't just a meal. This is a dining experience. Four different meats with various cuts totaling 17 in all, hand delivered to your table by an army of staff with a world-class "salad bar" filled with the most extraordinary Brazilian dishes in North America. Top that off with a live 3 piece band playing traditional Brazilian tunes made the experience one I'll not forget. $65 IS A BARGAIN.

The bomb! Everything is so good, steak, salad bar, service, roasted fricking cheese in honey. I could go on and on . Very clean restaurant with the best service especially if Hugo is working. The best part is the value. Your dollar really goes a long way here. If meat isn't your jam the salad bar will 100% get the job done and leave you full.

First time at this location. I really like Fogo de Chao, but this location is small, hard to find parking, and not a big waiting area. Came here with my husband for Valentine's Day dinner date. It was very crowded, and we had to wait at the bar for almost an hour. Cocktails were good while we were waiting but not consistent. Although the food was good, it was a small area around the salad bar, so you are always bumping into someone. We had to wait long for them to bring the cuts of meat to us since we were not given the cards to flip to signal that we wanted the meats. I requested the lamb, and it never came around, and neither did the chicken. The servers were okay but barely checked on us. Would go back to Fogo de chao, just probably not this location.
