It’s always an excellent time at Fogo de Chão. We devoured the food, talked, and enjoyed wine and caipirinhas. I went with my wife, sister, and brother-in-law, and we must have spent 4 hours there. Everything was incredible, but the most memorable dishes were the Parmesan chicken, filet mignon, spicy sausage, and garlic steak. The service was top-notch, and the ambiance made it a perfect evening. Highly recommend it!

This is an excellent spot for a friends luncheon! We enjoyed bookmaker salad (spectacular), the crab quiche, fish and chips and the shrimp salad! Crab soup is very good, a bit pricey. Smith Island cake... the best! And thanks to Aislinn C. our super server! Attentive and helpful!
