   Went for my wife’s birthday. Food was decent, though service was slow. I’ve been to similar places with a better selection and side bar. Told management about the celebration and was told a complimentary dessert would come, but never did. Really not that big of a deal, just a bit disappointing. It was lunch, so it wasn’t busy. Staff was friendly though. This was our first time at any Fogo, not sure we’ll be back though. We’ve had better experiences at the place up the street consistently.

   My overall experience I would rate it a 4/5. I only say that because for one yes I do know this is known as a “Brazilian steakhouse”, and I don’t eat beef/pork. However, they could’ve had more chicken options it was only one which was chicken thighs which was very good and flavorful. At the cold bar it wasn’t much options to eat besides salads so if your picky that cold bar is not for you. The main reason why I rated it low was because the service your table doesn’t have one waiter, it’s the whole team working “together” but we had to constantly ask for water and different things. Mind you we are telling multiple different waiters and still wasn’t receiving what we asked for, they should just have one waiter per section because it’s a lot of confusion on their end. Overall, im not sure if I would go back due to the service.

   Jason was an outstanding server. He was very knowledgeable about wines and pairing them with our meat selections. He was courteous and welcoming. Other servers were friendly and attentive. We had a very good dining experience.

   I wanted to like Fogo more than I did. This was our second time dining and it was really just average sorry to say. Compared to other similar Brazilian steakhouses the salad bar doesn’t have nearly as many items to pick from. I never did get the limes that I wanted for my icewater. Cuts of meat in some cases lacked flavor. There’s actually an independent Brazilian steakhouse in Ashland that we like better. Sorry not to be more enthusiastic. Considering what we spent for two people for Christmas dinner. Noise level made it hard to hear. Just generally underwhelmed. .

   It was just OK. Just not my choice of food at the buffet (all cold items) and the meat was ok. Our table/chairs/cups were dirty. I would not return. First time experience and I was not impressed. It was just OK.

   We came for our annual friendsmas. We enjoyed the food. Sometimes the wait for meat or plates was a little delayed, but I wouldn’t say it took from the experience. Would definitely return. I wish the lights were a little brighter in the bathroom and the restaurant overall. Great date location!

   Really bad service, it wasn’t even full but we have to wait a long time for the waiter to bring us drinks, manager don’t even show up. On my opinion Texas the Brazil offer a way better experience…
