I've been to Fogo de Chao in Chicago, Philadelphia, and DC. They are always consistent and always good. The meat is perfect and plentiful, and the service just can't be beat. Your best bet is to go for lunch during the week if you can swing it. The meats, salad bar, and service are identical to dinner, but the price... more

Celebrated with a group of trombone players here when Tim Higgins won the SF Symphony principal job. Tim actually treated us-thanks, again, Tim! Typical for a Brazilian steak house-meat rules and there is lots of it. The salad bar is very tempting with lots of goodies, but don't fill up there. The meat will keep coming until you tell them... more

Three of us went for a late lunch on the fourth of July. Go hungry! Huge appetizer/vegetable/fish/salad buffet followed by amazing meat selections and extremely attentive service. Meats come to your table, one server after the other. They never let you go hungry. We lost count of the number of offerings. We loved everything; also, a wonderful fried or grilled... more

Don't eat much before you go here. I had about 10 different cuts of meat before I checked out the disappointing salad bar. They definitely know the strength of their offering here, so just stick w/ the meat for the most part. Service was quick, efficient, and you can get in and out fast. more

This place is lovingly known in my house as 'the house of carnage'. There is more than enough charred red meat to go around. Everything is superb - the caiprinhas, the meat, the salad bar, and the yummy desserts. Bring your money cause it's not cheap, and wear your stretchy pants so that you can accomodate all the yummy goodness. more

A meat fest. But the salad bar is worth the price alone. more

I've been to several of these in various cities (DC, Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, etc.). The amount of food is overwhelming. Actually, my favorite part was the amazing selection at the salad bar. The problem is, you want to save room for the 11-15 skewers of meat (ribs, lamb, pork roast, etc.) that the "gauchos" are constantly bringing to your plate.... more
