Fogo de Chão® (fo-go dèe shoun), is an authentic Southern Brazilian steakhouse. In 1979, Fogo® began sharing the gaucho way of preparing meat in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Today, our gaucho chefs still expertly grill each of our 16 cuts of meat and offer you continuous tableside service. We… invite you to enjoy the delicious preparations of our gaucho chefs along with our gourmet salad bar, authentic Brazilian side dishes, and award-winning wine list.Continued

Diner Reviews

"The restaurant was big, VERY BRIGHT and VERY LOUD. People were wearing cut off shorts, sweat pants, dirty t-shirts etc. It was clear they had spent the day at Disney or Sea World and then went to dinner. For the most part, people hovered around salad bar, making it hard to get near it. The meats that were delivered to the table were ok, but there was so much, so fast, you could not really enjoy any of it. Here is the thing, normally, we don't eat at buffets. When we spend a certain amount of money, we expect a certain experience. Fogo de Chao was not that experience. The only good part about our dinner was the service. Everyone was very nice."

"The food was great. The meat was delicious. The staff was very prompt, attentive and professional. We have visited several other Brazilian steakhouses and none of them compare to the level of service and food quality that Fogo offered."

"I have frequented numerous Fogo de Chao in past travels. The service is top notch and is not to be missed. The flavors of the food is consistently beautiful."

"This was our first visit and we were celebrating an Anniversary and 3 Birthdays. The service and food were excellent! I liked the atmosphere here vs other Brazilian Steakhouses. The service is a "Team" concept, so there was always someone assisting. They brought clean plates without us asking for them. We will be back!"

"We had a pretty good meal - you will never leave hungry from Fogo. This particular night we did not get a visit to the table from every server with every type of meat being served, we did not see pork or lamb stop by, even though we saw it come by - but everything that we had was very good and our waiter was nice, we left happy. My brother and sister in law had never been and they really enjoyed it. We'll be back soon."

"I have went there before and it was great. This Valentines Weekend was not so great. service could have been better. They really have to consider that Valentines weekend is a romantic date night for if not all then most people. there was a table of about 10 guests where I was seated and the loud noises and yelling and cheering they were making threw off our romantic dinner. we could barely hear each other. not to mention I had to ask twice where was our mash potatoes and sides when we had already been eating out meats. not very pleasant this second time around."

"I went to fago de choa on Valentine's Day and had a really good time. It was packed but I didn't have to wait for a long time since I made reservations. The food was really good and I didn’t have to wait for a long time to eat. I really really recommend there signature drink. My only complaint is that they didn't deck out the place in red and black for Valentine's Day. Also family where there which is understandable but if you wanted a romantic setting on Valentine's Day this wasn't it."

"it was so great, the servers were really enthusiastic in explaining all the parts of the meat to us and made our first time experience at the restaurant ten times better!"

"I enjoyed the evening but had to say that the other Fogo do Chao in Miami Beach is much better in terms of service and food."

"It is cheaper than the original in Brasil, but the meats aren't half the variety and the buffet is very fair. But a mention to the picanha that was served many times must be given !"

"I came here on my birthday and going Orlando's Magical Dining Month. We were able to get a wonderful deal on our dinner and there was a group of us. We didn't eat much that day and we weren't disappointed in the food! The salad bar and the main courses were great to dine. It was busy since it was towards the end of the month and promotional period. We tried to self park but there was no spaces so we had to valet. They attendants were friendly. The waiters were especially busy, it was kind of hard to get certain meats unless you raised your hand like you were in the 2nd grade, flaring about because you knew the answer immediately. The colored chips didn't help so we grabbed anyone we could."

"It wasn't great. We thought the most of the meats were all too salty, and dry. They house specialty beef was good. It is very expensive so if you are not going to eat a lot, it is not a great place to choose. We are frequent diners at upscale restaurants."
Dined on 1/19/2014
"This was my first time at a Brazilian restaurant. The staff was attentive and attractive. There were multiple servers hustling around ready to assist you. The salad bar was great, our waiter told us to go easy there because the meat selection is where you want to fill up. He was right. All of the beef choices were amazing, delicious, flavorful, and hot as they brought them to the table and carved individually for you. When our popovers and potatoes got cold, they were replaced with hot ones. The waiter recommended the papaya creme for dessert to help digest and it worked. Great food with great service."

"When getting to the restaurant there was much confusion. Had to wait about twenty minutes for a table, even though there were plenty of tables available. Finally we got seated. The service was great and the food was very good. Plenty of food and top items also. Great salad bar. Then I got home and open table said missed reservation. I then wasted tons of time to scan my bill and send it to you. Then you proceeded to tell me I was excused. If the restaurant would of done the job properly none of this would of had to happen. Basically I wasted a half hour of my life trying to straighten this out. Thank God you have an employee named David."

"We tried Fogo de Chaofor the first time at lunch. Beautiful dining room. The array of vegetables and the cheeses incredible on the food bar. Many bread choices but the cheese biscuits that are brought to the table are amazing!! The Coconut Haddock melted in your mouth.. Non stop meat for as long as you want to eat. The house specialties are over the top good. I have no words to describe how wonderful they are. Food is mostly for adult palettes. The service is remarkable. They are very attentive and helped us all with the choices of the meat skewers. Now we were in very early and the restaurant was about half full, but I truly believe that the service would not suffer a bit if the restaurant is full. They know how to do it here."

"Outstanding service! The selection of meats is impressive and all we're delicious. The salad bar exceeded expectation and could be a meal in itself. We were surprised by the number of children (although this is near Disney) at a Braziian steak house, but the restaurant accommodated them very we'll. if you're craving a high-protein meal, you won't be disappointed."

"Service is really bad - will not return. Requested mint jelly for the lamb 4 times without success ...."

"Outstanding Selection of items and quality of meats. Amazing attention to detail! 1st Time experience for all but me... all can't wait to book again!"

"Like others in the chain, the service was outstanding, food plentiful and well presented and a meat lovers dreamland. Just wish my appetite had been greater as at $50 per person, I didn't get my money's worth. Well worth the visit."

"Always Love going to Fogo...They never disappoint!!"

"If you are a steak lover this is by far the best steak experience you can have. The quality and assortment of meats are second to none. The Fogo chain is by far my favorite restaurant."
Dined on 12/27/2013
"We love going to this restaurant, having visited the Atlanta location and now the Orlando one. We believe the salad bar in Atl was slightly larger, but Orlando's is still the best salad bar around. Service was excellent and the meats divine. Put this restaurant on your bucket list!"
Dined on 12/24/2013
"The food was undeniably great. The only thing I personally had an issue with was the bacon wrapped meat, I'd have less of that, but it's just a preference. The waitstaff was amazing. They ensured we had eveything we needed without us feeling like we were constantly hovered over. I'll be returning."

"Excellent first trip after hearing great recommendations! Service is excellent"

"I've been to a few locations around the country and I have found that they are all consistent. I will say that the larger cities (Houston, D.C., NY, etc.) are a little better with their service and ambience."

"What an amazing dining experience! from the moment we stepped in the door we were blown away by the amazing service, ambience and most importantly delicious food!! I would recommend this restaurant to EVERYBODY! except maybe a vegetarian! thanks fogo! can you please open a restaurant in Ireland???"

"An awesome place for those who are carnivores! Overall a great experience! We definitely recommend it to anyone who loves to eat. The staff was professional,informative,friendly, and most of all attention to detail was key. Thx for a lovely experience."

"Bring an appetite. Aside from the large salad bar which you need to control your selections, the wait staff keep the variety of beef, chicken, lamb, pork and sausage coming at regular invervals.. Never had to look up for someone to fill my plate. A nice evening with friends and something fun to do with a group. Good food all around"

"Fantastic food. Impeccable service by cooperative, friendly, intelligent, experienced, and highly competent waiters who work as a team. A well run establishment. Any dress seems accepted. I could not more highly recommend, as a fine restaurant afficianado."

"Great quality meats and awesome service. A little pricey but worth it."
Dined on 11/12/2013
"We were interested in trying a Brazilian steakhouse and Fogo de Chao was recommended by our resort. They suggested going for lunch instead of dinner which was a great suggestion and saved us money since it is a bit pricey. But the food and experience were well worth it. We tried 12 different kinds of meats and all of them were delicious. The salad bar wasn't a typical salad bar and offered a different variety of items such as cheeses, grilled vegetables and unique salads. Our meal also came with mashed potatoes, fried bananas and one other item that seemed like fried cornbread. The service was impeccable at this restaurant and it had a wonderful atmosphere. I would definitely go again and recommend it to a friend."
Dined on 11/20/2013
"With a reservation we still had to wait 30 minutes to be seated. Service was great and very prompt. Always a great option for Orlando's Magical Dining Month."
Dined on 9/25/2013
"Service was excellent. They were very attentive. Everything moved a little too quickly. We were in and out of there in 40 minutes. Felt a little rushed. Food quality was good, pretty standard fare. Not sure I'd go out of my way for this one."

"El mejor restaurante de espadas queje probado hasta ahora. La carne suave y en su punto, perfectamente sazonada. La barra de ensalada deliciosa. Los niños pagan la mitad de precio."
Dined on 11/5/2013
"Fantastic array of salads and meats in the churrascaria style. Very easy to eat too much because you want to try everything. Come hungry! Good for big eaters, unrepentant carnivores and low-carbers."
Dined on 11/6/2013
"Overall I like the restaurant and the concept of Brazilian Steakhouses. I went a few months ago and the food and service were outstanding. Because of that trip I was eager to go back so I did about a week ago. Service was once again outstanding but for whatever reason the meat was no on target like the previous trip. The salad bar seemed pretty much the same but the meat was not wowing me like it did the first time and I was more hungry this time. Not really sure why this was but I took my parents convincing them that the place was amazing but when we got the meat I was just not as impressed and wasn't left with the feeling that I can't wait to go back like I did the first time. For the price I think I should have that feeling every time."
