Description: Fogo de ChaoR (fo-go dee shoun), is an authentic Southern Brazilian steakhouse. In 1979, FogoR began sharing the gaucho way of preparing meat in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Today, our gaucho chefs still expertly grill each of our 16 cuts of meat and offer you continuous tableside service. We invite you to enjoy the delicious preparations of our gaucho chefs along with our gourmet salad bar, authentic Brazilian side dishes, and award-winning wine list.

I visited different restaurants of this chain in the recent past. The quality of food is consistently good. The bar in other places (such as Dallas) is looking a bit better, the seating in Denver is ok. Service is outstanding and very attentive. Overall I was very pleased with the experience and will come back again.

We try to visit Fogo de Chao in every major city we visit. The food is so good. The style of serving is unlike anything you would find at traditional restaurants and the service is outstanding. The meal is a bit on the pricey side, but believe me, it is worth it. Get ready for lots of meat.

My husband and I had only tried one other Brazilian steakhouse before this but we really loved it. So for my sister's graduation we took her and her fiance her and it was amazing! The food was so delicious, service was great, and the drink's were wonderful as well! If you have room for dessert it is worth it!

I have been to Fogo before in other cities, and this visit did not disappoint. The salad bar had the usual collection of smoked salmon, cold vegetables, and cheeses. The dinner came with several sides, including mashed potatoes, fried dough, and delicious popovers. Attentive servers deliver a variety of meats to your table, and cut slices from a larger piece....

I was sceptical about a chain restaurant but that thought was quickly dashed as we entered to dining room. The atmosphere is wonderful. You can talk and hear your friend's reply. Starting with a salad bar that beats all others everyone in my party said everything tasted fresh and we thought, my gosh, the main course must be outstanding! We... More

I recently went to Fogo for a Business After Hours event - and it was just bad. Period. The event was set up so folks could enjoy a few appetizers and drinks during the short 2 hour networking event. If I owned a restaurant, I would choose appetizers that showcased my restaurant in positive light, therefore causing the attendees to... More

Visited during restaurant week - the meat is amazing, maybe the best of the Brazilian type steak houses. Service is great and you have try the Caprena (spelling?).

I came here with a group of friends on a week night at about 8, so we had a relatively private dining experience. I imagine this place must get busy during peak hours. The service was as good as could be expected of any restaurant; friendly, courteous and prompt. The salad bar (it really was so much more) was outstanding.... More

For the most part, the food is good at Fogo de Chao. The salad bar is usually very well stocked with a variety of fresh offerings. The meats are certainly plentiful, although, I am often disappointed by the lack of medium-well cooked morsels. The last time we dined there this was a constant deficiency for me each time the meat... More
