This was our second time, and the food was just as delicious and the service was even better than the first time. We were never rushed, and after the amazing salad bar we tried lots of different cuts of meat which were all perfectly cooked and incredibly tasty. Would definitely recommend very highly.

Have been to the Fogo de Chao Boston several times ... even got married there. Barely got 2 drinks ... nobody came and asked. No feijoada for an hour. Unlike Boston no chicken wrapped in bacon ... fruit selection poor ... never cleared used plates at the table ... waited for polenta and bread ... barely got it. The churrasco was above average. Spend the extra time and drive to the Boston Fogo or Alma Gaucha ... both way better not even close to the Providence Fogo.

This was my first experience trying the whole meat at the table experience and it was amazing. However, I feel that the meats could come around more. I would say we only seen like 6 things came to our table when we was suppose to have 16 different meats. The market bar, was okay. The Caesar salad was drenched in dressings, and they definitely should offer mix salad and not just arugula by itself. But the overall experience was dope. The pomegranate was sweet, and delicious. The kiwi, pineapples and dragon fruits was not ripped. So maybe have fruits that are in season.

One of the worst experiences my husband and I ever had at a Fogo de Chao. We ordered drinks which did not arrive until we were almost done eating. The meat was less than impressive again compared to all the Brazilian Grills I've been to. Not sure if it's because of the time we arrived but the meat where barely coming to our table we had to ask the manager who was at the front every time. For our drinks to be brought out two different waitresses asked that we repeated our drinks and we still didn't get one until the end of our meal. Brazilian grills (Portuguese food) are our favorite restaurants but you will not see us back at this Fogo de Chao.

The cuts of meat were amazing! The service was on point and it just kept coming. There was someone at our table at least every 5 minutes to make sure we had everything we needed. Water glass never got below half empty. They even had a customer service associate that went table to table to ask us how our experience was going. I mentioned to him that I would love some of the lamb steak and he went and checked in the kitchen and he came back and said it would be ready in 20 minutes, he even asked me how I wanted it and of course I said medium rare. And sure enough within 20 minutes one of the meat servers came with my delectable Delight. It really was a total experience!

Overall, it was nice to try Fogo de Chao for the first time but we wouldn’t be back for next time because the food wasn’t just good as I expected it to be. Either the meat was very chewy and salty or very bland…

Everything was just great! From the hostess who greeted us to the waitress and her assistant who provided excellent service. We came to celebrate belated birthday for our daughter who came to visit us from the West Coast and whom we didn't see for a year. The hostess said Happy Birthday to our daughter once we gave our names for the reservation. The waitress wished Happy Birthday to our daughter too as well as mentioned that we get free dessert (that we've got and if was great!). We were seated at a nicely situated table, food was flowing; the food quality was excellent, as well as the service! It was our first visit to Fogo de Chao in Providence. We'll be back! Thank you, Fogo de Chao, for making our night special!

Our first visit was fantastic back in Oct. The second visit was a huge disappointment. Service was lacking- hardly anyone came by with meat- had to ask repeatedly. The table sides were never replenished either- had to flag waiters to ask. We opted for the full experience but didn’t really get it as they didn’t have certain cuts. Night and day difference between visits.

Our server was outstanding. Personable and on top of things. A little noisy - but understandable with size of restaurant. They were a little off with the timing of the meats and getting a variety out. We waiting for quite some time for one of the cuts we liked. But otherwise it was a great experience.

I had high hopes. Honestly, the only stand out from the other Brazilian steakhouses in the area, is the ambiance. You are better off going to Brazilian Grill in Hyannis. Much better service, more authentic, market table has more variety, no up selling. Fogo had a chain feel, the service was lacking, the sides weren’t brought out until the end of the meal, and were cold and stale. The meat itself was good, comparable to other steakhouses. Overall, not a great value in my opinion. Take your money elsewhere. Much better non chain options in the area.

Food was excellent. If the buffet was hot instead of cold it would have been even better . The server was very nice, but the service was slow. I’m assuming because the place is newer and people are getting acclimated.
