   As usual Fogo was a treat. I always feel so special when I go there. Everyone is so attentive and make sure we have an enjoyable meal and service. Only down side was we were seated to close to the restroom, 1st table when you leave restroom. People had to go around us to get to the restroom, that table should not be there at all, especially when the place is very busy.

   Slow service. Gauchos would pass by and ignore our table. Drinks took an average of 15 minutes to get to the table.

    What a great Thanksgiving experience! Noise level was loud (due to the rest of Minneapolis having the same plan as us!) Food was phenomenal; as team of waitstaff constantly checking in on us. The only questionable tactic was one of the waiters brought over a shrimp cocktail with 5 prawns on it. He asked if he could put it down in the middle of the table for us all to share? One of my son’s said ‘sure’. My other son asked if it was included in the all you can eat menu? The waiter started to put the shrimp cocktail down and said ‘no, it is an additional $24’. Uh, No thank you! Such an odd sales tactic, to over inflate an already inflated dinner tab.

    Place has gone downhill drastically the last 5 years. Use to come once a year but haven’t been able to the last 5 years, we decided to go there as it’s been so long and wow…. This place is awful. Food is garbage, tasteless, almost water like. The service is awful, we were there for 3 hours because the servers came around so little that we had to stay that long to get full and our moneys worth ( which we still didn’t). I don’t know what has happened to this place, is use to be classy but now it’s like an ole country buffet where people show up in sweatpants and hoodies. Management needs a change. Sadly we will never return to what use to be a great experience

    For the price, it was underwhelming. The service was good, but not for the price good. When spending ~$200 I'm expecting an experience but when the waiters bring the food around it seems like McDonald's quick this is steak then cut then next table. No smile, no comments about the piece of meat just this is garlic steak or this is chicken. The actual meat was ok, I feel like I was eating mostly fat instead of meat. This makes it good but I wanted to experience new flavors. The atmosphere was weird as people with sweatshirts and people are fully dressed up create this weird atmosphere. For the same price, you can go down the block to Oceanaire to get excellent service and amazing flavors, and the freshest seafood you can get in Minnesota.

    Fogo de Chao - MinneapolisResponded on November 15, 2022Molson, it disappoints us to learn you were not overly impressed with your recent visit.

    Veterans Day dinner - I have many good allergies we called ahead and were told they could make food for me that I could eat. A manager came out said absolutely no problem they found even make the steak “blue” as I like it…. The special made meat never arrived to our table. All the items on the “salad bar” were cross contaminated so I couldn’t eat anything there either. It was a flop for me I really didn’t enjoy my dinner at all.

    We loved the event, food was great and overall service good. Our only issue is that we were at the far side of the room and the event touted steak was always brought to us last where we were served well done pieces of meat (the only remaining ones on the platter, and we're rare to medium rare people).

    We attended the Dry Aged and Bourbon Bar Fogo Event last night, and it was wonderful! We were given 2 drink tickets, there was a selection of about 7 bourbons to taste with a staff member nearby to answer questions and give recommendations. The staff was friendly and on point as always. The food was delicious! It was a very enjoyable evening!

    Was very disappointed. This used to be our “go-to” place for birthdays and steaks. The quality AND service has gone down. Rarely do we get a chance to eat everything we want because it seems like no one is walking around. Or, if they are, they don’t stop at our table. We’re always having to request for items. Ruins the experience!

    Food was good, however the lighting and ambiance were the best. It had the atmosphere of a “Chilis” or “Applebees”. The tables were also too close together. You could barely make it from the Buffett back to your table without bumping into people.

    First, open table allowed us to make a reservation for 9:00pm - however, the restaurant starts closing at 9pm. At 8:00pm I got a phone call from a hostess asking if we could come in earlier, so we changed our plans and arrived by 8:45. They immediately informed us they were "shutting down" the "market bar" or what most people think of as the salad bar/buffet. We were allowed to go up once and get what we wanted. Then, despite the restaurant being empty, we found ourselves waiting for them to come around with meat. When they did, they were often bringing the same cuts (e.g. Picanha at least 6x) and they brought around the best stuff 1x. They opened two bottles of $150 wine - and never once came back to pour, we were left to do that on our own, which is hard to do across a large table and from a seated position. They didn't rush us out, and everyone tried to be nice - but for a very expensive dinner with international guests there for the first time, it was less than ideal.

    Fogo de Chao - MinneapolisResponded on November 2, 2022Michael, we truly apologize for the inconvenience you experienced, as we always want our guest to fully enjoy their visit.

    First timer @ Fogo’s, but not of menu, or experience. Anniversary celebration for 2, arrived early, immediately seated:-) at table in corner behind one of servers stations,suggested we might wait until reso for different, nicer locale and she replied “she’s doing her job”. Mobbed w/service shortly thereafter and a candle was even brought after one young man, a server I think, offered some light with our meal!? Really? Don’t think we saw any warm bread, took 5-10 to serve wife’s Arnie Palmer, market table was fabulous, some dish identity may have been nice as several folks commented “wonder what this is”. Anyhow we likely saw 1/2 of main servings as carvers rarely went our way out of kitchen as we watched cuts served at larger tables and 2-3 servers had to check on our desert. We left full, very happy to be together, but Fogo Mpls experience wouldn’t make one of my top 40 dinner anniversary’s. :-(
