We've been to this restaurant twice and it's always been a night to remember. The first time was just the two of us for our anniversary; the second time was with both of our families, with about ten people. Both times offered great meals, fine spirits and perfect service.

What separates Fogo de Chao? First off, they specialize in flawless service. They have so many staff members on duty, you never want for anything.

Second, this is not just a meat extravaganza; their salad bar is out of this world, with every fruit and vegetable imaginable. Be sure to try some of the exotics, like the marinated artichoke hearts, hearts of palm and the wonderful cheeses. My wife is a vegetarian and my mother is on a special diet, so they especially go wild over the salad bar.

Third, the main meal is fabulous, with not only the grilled meats being perfect, but the side dishes are just amazing. Mashed potatoes, fried plantains and polenta -- yum!

Finally, it's just really the atmosphere and ambiance: fancy and comfortable, without being overbearing or snooty.

If you want to treat someone or celebrate a special event, this is really a great place to do it. Our parents still talk about the time we treated them to a meal at Fogo de Chao! It's really quite an experience.

What a neat way of dining. You go to a large salad bar and get what you like, as often as you like, and these men they call Gaucho's(yes like thepants that are so in fashion, and the do where them) come around and serve you different kinds of meats. You only take what you choose, but there is alot being offered....Well worth the $49 for supper, GREAT FOR A SPECIAL OCCASION. It was our 9th wedding anniversary.

Can you really eat $40 worth of meat? Yes, it's good. But I can go to almost any great steak place and get a great meal for about half that. I think people just go crazy because it's all you can eat. So's Golden Corral people! You really can only eat one plate of food before you're stuffed so the abundance of meat is not necessary.

Nothing compares to this feast. I visited 10/04, and was lucky to be able to take my husband this time (12/05) on a layover in Atlanta. So good that we did spend the night in Atlanta, and MARTA'ed over for this meal. He was very impressed. Sure a long wait though, so they may want to do better on taking reservations and trying to plan times better. The food is worth the wait. A meat eater's paradise.
