    Although we were welcomed when arriving, once the meat service started, it was clear to see each waiter would bring a small piece of meat, serve 4 people out of a party of 20, and go back to the kitchen with no other waiter to serve the remaining folks. This happened a few times and we notified the Manager. Only then, a few more waiters started serving the table, but pretty much only sausage, fraldinha, and the traditional starters (coalho cheese, macaxeira, fried banana)… nothing else. Only once chicken thighs came to the table, only to a few people - only once Picanha came to the table… Unacceptable. No more bookings at Fogo de Chão, that’s for sure.

    Got there and the lady up front told us our reservation is cancelled. But they did make it work and got my family a table. Food was slow initially and we were getting ignored until we got asked how we were doing. I just shrugged and said "idk weve been waiting and we havent started yet". Food then started coming.
    Fogo de Chao - San DiegoResponded 4 days ago
    We're grateful for your feedback, Mark. We're pleased that our team was able to accommodate your family despite the initial reservation issue. We apologize for the initial delay in service and appreciate your patience. We hope to make your next visit smoother and look forward to welcoming you again.

    Our waiter never came to give us the intro. We got 3 water bottles charged even though they gave us the wrong one the second time. We were offered sauces by the second waiter but it never came. Then i got someone else's bill and card... came here for my bday. Never coming again. This place is not as good as it used to be.

    Quantity over quality for sure!!! I ordered jumbo shrimp cocktail and the shrimp were NOT jumbo at all. More like 31-40. The crab cake was good. Service was good! The meats were just ok. I would not go back.
