   I got reservations for 8:15, wasn’t seated til about 9:15 , I liked the atmosphere in the restaurant . Drinks were great, however, it took really long for the drink to get there. The meat service was good, but the selection of meat was just ok. No filet mignon unfortunately. And they never offered us mash potatoes or polenta, only the bananas. Overall experience was just OK .

   My husband and I went for our anniversary. I had been to the Salt Lake City Fogo more than 20 times and loved it! He had never been so we chose this restaurant. I had made a reservation for 2. The hostess sat us at a table against a Pilar. I didn’t want to sit at that table so we asked if she had another table. She walked us to the back corner of the restaurant away from the other tables. I again said we came here to experience the ambiance and wanted a regular table. We asked to be seated at a table in the middle if the room. She curtly said, yes and sighed loudly. The Waitress was okay at first, when we got our drinks, my husband’s glass was broken. I looked for our waitress who was no where to be found. A half hour later she comes to the table and I point out the glass. She rolled her eyes and said I’ll bring a new drink. We waited 20 minutes for the replacement. When she brought it she just put it down on the table and walked away. The meat was dry and overdone in all but a couple of the dishes. The ribs were so over done I could not cut the meat. The only two items I did not try were the Parmesan Pork and the sausage. The New York Steak was excellent and the buffet items were good although I had to ask 3 different times for serving utensils and several of the items were not labeled. My husband had ordered the Strawberry Cheesecake for dessert and was brought Blueberry. When we corrected our waitress, she again rolled her eyes, sighed and very rudely took the incorrect order off of the table. The table next to ours was 3 early twenty something’s who were throwing food at each other and bumping into the waitstaff and laughing. I thought the manager would come correct them as several people complained and he never did. I will not go back there unless it’s a group thing. I was very disappointed in our experience and would not recommend this place to anyone! I don’t believe this is the norm for this place, but it definitely left a very poor impression! 2/10 👎🏼

   We had not been to Fogo de Chao since the pandemic started and it seemed like a great place to go to celebrate my birthday with a party of 8. Everything started well but the service took a nose-dive as the evening went on. At one point, we had 3 different waitresses wanting to take orders of items we had already ordered. It just seemed super confusing and disorganized. As we progressed towards the end of the main course (where they are supposed be stopping by with assorted meats on the spit) there were 3 of us who had not turned their card to red (no more meat) and we went almost 20 minutes with not one server coming by with meat. None of the waitresses came by or offered to get members of our party refills on their cocktails. My partner gave up and got up and walked towards the bar to get his second Manhattan. Dessert was another chaotic show with the 3 waitresses asking for dessert orders and not coordinating with each other. Desserts were partially brought out and we had to wait another 20 minutes for everybody to have their dessert at the table. Because of this snafu, some of the desserts were comped. Nevertheless, this was a messy dining experience that fell short of the usual good experience we've had at Fogo in Portland and elsewhere in the country.

   I have eaten at Fogo De Chao restaurants all over the country many times and this is the worst experience I’ve ever had at any of them. The staff, while polite, were generally ineffective which is a direct reflection of the manager on duty whom was less than useful in talking to our party or even attempting to resolve the issues that popped up throughout the night.

    Be prepared to wait at least 1 hour past your reservation time. Service is very slow hard to enjoy the “full experience”.

    We live going to Fogo. The staff is amazing, the food is wonderful. The only complaint I have is that it seems that the booking system they use must over book intentional. We always make reservations, however we have never been seated at our table on time. I completely understand busy visits like our last on Mother’s Day of course. But I felt that over an hour wait with a reservation was still excessive. Even on non-special evenings we always have to wait 15-30 minutes past our reservation time. The staff is wonderful and works their butts off to make sure all are taken care of, ur there’s only so much they can do when they’re overbooked.

    Our servers last night were wonderful despite the restaurant being very VERY busy. We had made a reservation on OpenTable and they got us in almost on time. We didn't have to wait long for any help. The dessert part of the meal was too delayed (we were warned that it would take longer than 30 minutes) for us to take any home with us. I both appreciated the warning and was disappointed that it occurred after the same waiter showed us the delicious-looking offerings. It fell apart afterwards when my husband's credit card somehow did not make it back to him. Silly us we left without realizing this until the next morning! The card was not misused but it took over 20 minutes for someone to help him when he went back to check and retrieve it the next day. Overall, we were pleased with the experience and will very likely go back some day!

    Fogo in Portland has become a poor relic of a cheap buffet!! On Mother's Day, of all days, they stooped to caring more about table turning than quality and service. The "famous anti pasta and salad bar" was empty often, the service was horrible (we had servers come to our table, spill blood all over the table and only go to one person at our table of 9. The hidden and undisclosed charge for items is criminal. We spent half of our time looking for servers. Then..they are so much in a hurry to turn th3e table they will only serve desert if you take it home. What a shame to see what was a real treat become a loud slop house! One of the Managers, Michelle Ferrari, did all she could to make thing better for us including a $250 gift card. She is an amazing employee. General Management sucks. I spent over $800 and want my money back. Why would a BLUE RIBBON restaurant like Fago used to be progressively deteriorate to this level. SAD......

    I have frequented this restaurant pre-pandemic and was very disappointed with our last visit. We came for Mother's Day brunch with the full expectation of a busy venue due to the holiday event, but felt that the staff was spread too thin and the venue way overbooked. It took multiple requests for a simple item such as a straw, multiple salad bar options had ran out 30 min after opening, tables were on top of each other, and we were seated against the window and felt that the servers focused on the middle of the restaurant therefore only had 3 options of steak brought to the table. Even after requesting 4x's for a specific cut. One server cut the piece so aggressively that juice had splattered all over me on my white shirt with little apology. A waitress with an "a la carte" shrimp bowl came to the table, but didn't divulge that 5 shrimps would cost us an additional $25 and almost had a heart attack when I got the bill. After I requested the check, our table being ignored was so apparent that another waitress from another section stopped by to apologize to us as she noticed the lack of service from her section. Brunch for my 10 year old (she was half price) and myself cost me over $150. This was one of my favorite restaurants and we will not be returning.

    We made reservation on line through the app and it was kind if last minute and I specify it was for 11 people. When we got to the restaurant it looked like a zoo, and there was no time line for anyone. After waiting in the hall way for more then 1 hr after our reservation time was accepted we were finally seated. Service was acceptable but far from great. Overall very disappointing .

    We took my mother in law here for Mothers Day. Overall great place and great food. The meats were tender and seasoned perfectly. Would definitely come again. Only had a slight issue with waiting a long time for dessert. I understand a large party ordered dessert before us, but they could have just let us know instead of wondering for 30 minutes. It was also very loud and kind of hard to hear but the place is extremely busy so I would expect that.

    Food tasted great as usual, but service was really slow and sporadic. And the volume and frequency of gauchos coming around with the skewers was a lot less than previous visits. Also several items (like the famous bacon) were out/empty at the Market Table.

    Always wanted to try Fogo de Chao and it did not disappoint. We sat next to the Market Table (Salad Bar area) and the food was constantly being refreshed. The candied bacon and smoked salmon was among our favorites. The meats brought around were hot and flavorful. Favorites included bacon wrapped steak, lamb chops, garlic steak, and Parmesan chicken. Ended the evening with creme brûlée and took the raspberry and açaí cheesecakes home. It was fantastic and we will definitely be coming back for more and bringing our friends and family

    We had the BEST server ever! Julia was an absolute delight and made our night so much fun. I've been to many different restaurants to dine but never had the care, laughter, and thoroughness that Julia offered us. Not only were we spoiled by Julia, Robert and other staff consistently checked in with our table to make sure we were having a good time. Now on to the food... I ALWAYS make the mistake of eating too much from their market table because everything is soooo good and don't leave myself enough room for all the yummy meats that come around. So while the market table is tempting, make sure to save room for all the meats! I will continue to recommend Fogo De Chao to all my friends and colleagues and will continue to make this my date night and lunch spot. :)

    Nice to have a great place to go that's open on Monday and close to The Schnitz. What an overwhelming choice of foods at the "salad" bar... truly overwhelming. Give me a bigger plate! Service was equally impressive with staff constantly circulating around. Everyone courteous and friendly. With such a huge array of offerings it's sure to have something for everyone... except low budgets. Will definitely go again.
