We love Fogo and usually go during someone’s birthday. The food is amazing, the service is exceptional, and it’s also really nice that kids 12 and under eat half price.

My husband and I went for Veterans Day & it was an actual madhouse, we waited 40 minutes past our reservation to find out they packed the restaurant with more tables than any of the staff or guests could handle. It felt like a food hall cafeteria & the poor staff were clearly overwhelmed and unable to provide even basic service. We sat down, went to the salad bar & when we came back our water had spilled onto our table, ice everywhere , the staff cleaned it up but it was just a mess. Staff members tried to bring high chairs through our area which we ended up having to lift over our table. There was barely any room to walk straight between the tables we had to squeeze through. It felt like a money grab for the company or management or whoever made the decision to seat more than the staff could handle. It completely destroyed the experience & we made the decision to leave before eating. We were excited to try this concept of dining but the ambiance and overall experience of how many people were crammed into this restaurant was cheap, tacky, overwhelming & an insult to the guests who made reservations to celebrate the holiday.

The staff was wonderful! They explained all of the options and the process. If there was a fatty piece of meat they would make sure to give us a better cut. Wonderful experience! Can’t wait to go back.
