    I don’t know why we continue to come back. Service and quality of food has decreased significantly. For the price, it is no longer worth it. Most workers seem like they hate being there. Food takes forever and when a cut finally arrives, it’s either overcooked, chewy, or just nasty now. Will no longer come back- and we normally visit 6 or more times a year with bills racking up over $600 each time! DISAPPOINTED.

    We were celebrating my daughter’s bday bit seated near the window- service was bad. We rarely had anyone come by with the meat and even wait staff had to continuously be waived down for a refill on water and wine. Also we ordered a glass of wine which the waitress poured but spilled a significant amount outside of the glass- and left it cleaned and never offered a replacement. And it was an expensive glass of wine. I don’t feel their service was up to par and NEVER be sweated outside main area along perimeter- this is 3rd bad service experience I’ve had within less than a year at this location

    Nice restaurant, our waiter showed up 15 minutes after we got there, only came to our table one time, forgot part of her order and they stopped coming around with the meat so we had to ask for it. Wouldn’t go back again.

    A terrible dining experience, and one that, sadly, appears to be the norm for this Fogo location. Service remains disjointed, slow, and unprofessional. They really need a strong front of house manager who can recruit and train the servers. We will not be returning.

    Enjoyed the meat selections. The upgrade for premium meats not worth the extra charge. Slow in getting the filet mignon and beef ribs out to guests. Very nice salad bar selection. Mashed potatoes serve w salad bar and therefore cold when we ate them. Select the bottom sirloin, medium, best flavor. Enjoyed our meal and would recommend the Taste of Brazil for $49/person.
    Fogo de Chao - MinneapolisResponded on May 20, 2025
    Tom, we're pleased that you enjoyed our selection of cuts and the variety at our Market Table. Your feedback on the timing of our filet mignon and beef ribs, as well as the mashed potatoes, is appreciated, and we'll address these concerns. We hope to welcome you back for another experience soon. Best,
