Review: I recently had the pleasure of dining in Austin, and I must say that the service I received from Dzmitry and Nayeli was absolutely outstanding! They were not only attentive but also genuinely friendly, making my dining experience truly memorable. Their knowledge of the menu and recommendations were spot on, and they made sure I had everything I needed throughout my meal. Additionally, Fernando from customer service went above and beyond to ensure that my experience was top-notch. His commitment to customer satisfaction was evident, and he made a point to check in and ensure that everything was perfect. Overall, this team of fantastic servers made my visit exceptional, and I can't recommend them enough. If you're in Austin and looking for great service, look no further!

It’s hard to enjoy eating at a Brazilian steakhouse. This location is in downtown Austin. I prefer to go for weekday Brunch when the prices are more affordable. The menu has plenty of meats including beef, lamb, sausage, chicken. The salad bar has a large variety to choose from. The place has unlimited garlic potatoes and cheese rolls and fried plantains. This location actually offers free pop refills which is very convenient. The parking is awful like most of downtown though.

Hands down absolutely amazing! All the different selections of meats to the cheese and fruit bar, to the cheesecake crème brûlée which was the best cheesecake I’ve ever had. My wife brought me out to celebrate my promotion and she couldn’t have picked a better place. John was an amazing server and everyone who came to the table was so sweet. Fernando the manager was so nice and checked on us often, he also got us a fresh lamb chop to try which was mouth watering. I’m not sure of the name of the gentleman that gave us the recommendation for the desserts but he did not disappoint!

Everyone that worked here was absolutely amazing and so helpful. We brought our daughter here for her birthday celebration and went for the $40 deal and ended up with the $60 meal for the ribeye and lamb 😋 The lamb was absolutely amazing! The food kept coming non stop to the point we were like crap we need flip marker over lol. (First time so we forgot). They even offered to take our plates and give us new plates for hot, fresh meat. The bar of food was so delicious as well! The bourbon drink I highly recommend! We have 3 birthdays coming up so we will be back!

Sure! Here's a solid, engaging review that captures the experience while keeping it warm and authentic: --- I had an incredible dining experience at Fogo de Chão, and I have to give a huge shoutout to the staff who made it truly memorable. From the moment I walked in, Alex, the bartender, set the tone with his welcoming and kind energy. He didn’t just take my order—he acknowledged me, engaged in conversation, and was super informative about the drinks and menu. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, which makes a big difference. The table service was just as impressive. Fernando, John, and Juan were absolutely top-tier—attentive without being overbearing, friendly without feeling scripted, and always there when we needed something. They made sure we were comfortable, explained the different cuts of meat with enthusiasm, and kept the experience flowing seamlessly. As for the food—classic Fogo de Chão greatness. If you’re a fan of endless, perfectly cooked meats and an incredible market table, you already know what you’re in for. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and brought out with impeccable timing. It’s rare to find a place where the hospitality matches the quality of the food, but this location nailed it. Whether you're celebrating something special or just treating yourself to a great night out, this team makes you feel valued. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be back!

I was there with a group for a work meeting and just got to say, restrooms needed attention, the paper menus had food stains on them, the waiter apron he had on had lots of food stains on it, it did not look professional. I also ordered a dessert and never got it. San Antonio location was better. I did enjoy the salad bar and my drink.

We came to celebrate a birthday and we weee met with amazing service from Bowen, our server. Led by the fearless Fernando we had an amazing time and insane amounts of touch during the night. Heavy pours, great drinks, customized meats, couldn’t ask for a better night!
