Fogo de Chão is one of my favorite restaurants because every time I go, it feels like a little trip to Brazil. Unfortunately, this was the most disappointing experience I’ve had so far. The location felt small and cramped compared to others, and I was surprised to see only two Brazilian staff members—neither of whom was my server. Early on, it was frustrating to see several staff members sitting in booths on their phones while service lagged. That said, the meat was great, the fruit was fresh, and the salad bar exceeded expectations. I was especially happy to see cooked mozzarella on skewers and feijoada offered—both of which added a nice touch of authenticity. The limonada was refreshing, though the caipirinha was unfortunately watered down. This visit won’t stop me from going again, but it will make me think twice about visiting this location.

This reservation was made to celebrate my husband for Father’s Day. We loved going to the Bellevue, WA location. So we thought, why not try the Seattle, WA location. We deeply regret coming. All of the meats were DANGEROUSLY salty. Our reservation was at 12:00; the cold bar, where fruits, sides, Salads are kept, weren’t replenish in a timely manner. Our server that originally had our table left for an hour and there was no communication from anyone else during that time. We were left with empty drinking glasses. We had flag down someone to get refills. One of the managers had to tell a server to stop what they’re doing so they can check on us. We didn’t see our server until it was time to pay for our bill and the bill was input incorrectly. It seemed like the only meat that the Gauchos walked around with was different cuts of steak. The location in Bellevue, WA had many different meat selections. There were two managers that walked around in navy blue suits. They had no concern for the safety of their employees or the guests for that matter. There were children running around the dinning area. Although, it’s ultimately the parents responsibility to ensure their child/children are being watched. However, none of the staff talked to the guests to inform them that their children must remain seated or at least be in close proximity of the table. The Gauchos walk around with hot cuts of meat and sharp objects to serve the customers. It would be a shame if an accident happens because of negligence on either the restaurant staff or the parents. And lastly, my family and I had the Indulgent Experience (what we always get). For a total of $275.60, I would expect to receive better service and quality food. Unfortunately, that’s not what we had. I don’t believe this is a matter of what Fogo De Chao, as a whole, has to offer. The lack of attention to detail and pride falls on this specific team and management at the Seattle, WA location.

Very understaffed- we went on a Wednesday night to celebrate a birthday. It took 20 minutes before meat servers came around our table. Then, they came very sporadically, very unlike our past Bellevue experience. The location is very nice, they do not validate parking (though it is only $10 in the evening.) We waited 30 minutes and finally flagged someone down to ask for the meat servers to come around again and to order dessert. I hope the location learns to manage their staffing needs better. We were there for over 3.5 hours because of the delayed service.

All the staff was kind, pleasant, and helpful. We waited about 20 minutes for our server - no one had even come by to offer water. When I asked a different server to find out who was responsible for our table the answer was “I am not sure” I had to press and say “well that’s not the answer I was hoping to hear. Could you please find out who it is or let your manager know that we have not been attended to.” Our server came over shortly and was very pleasant . After we had practically finished our meal he asked if there was anything else and we brought up the crab cakes. He apologized and said he had forgot to punch in that order. He offered to get some but we declined as we had finished. Again he was very pleasant and helpful and apologized. But overall I question if I would come back again.

Considering they just opened in September there were still some growing pains which is expected when almost all of the staff I had talked to had only just visited the Bellevue location just before they opened so that’s obviously a big caveat and weight in how I felt about the experience. Meat selection was far better than at other Fogo locations I’ve visited. They were extremely fast and accurate when we put in a specific request. Brought out the exact meat, uncut, and to the exact temp we requested in all of 3 minutes after requesting. This happened three times. Our server was a bit bubbly and very conversational which was fine but aside from that she was quite skilled at her service. The gauchos were also incredibly respectful, quick, and inquired about what we’d like when we had declined three of their offerings in a row. Not out of frustration but in an effort to make their rounds more efficient. They asked what temp and what meats we’d like to see and less than a four minutes later they were at our table with our requests. The manager came by three times to ask us about our experience and asked about the quality of the service (both were great). Noise was probably the biggest complaint considering the acoustics of where we sat (right up on the wall in the middle of the restaurant) and they were a packed house about an hour into our time there. That and the drinks did take a while to be made. Looked like they only had one bartender who wasn’t trying to rush (for good reason). Overall though I was pleasantly surprised considering the time I had the Bellevue location. Much better in its operation and quality/selection of food. Hope they keep this up. Last note is that although the meat quality was quite good, it still doesn’t hold a candle to the quality of the food at the Texas De Brazil in Tacoma. That could just be a chain difference though. If they can pick that quality up a bit, I would definitely prefer to go here than drive to Tacoma for better food.

Ian, we appreciate your thoughtful feedback and are glad to hear you enjoyed our selection of cuts and the prompt service from our team.

We're excited to have had the opportunity to serve you and hope you'll visit us again soon!
