Fogo de Chao is a superior restaurent, with excellent food and service. You probably know by know that this Brazilian steak house specializes in meat, meat and more meat. For $50 a head, you get an all-you-can-eat salad bar (above average salad bar, would not quite say superior, but darn good), followed by all-you-can-eat, fresh cut off the skewer hot... more

This is one of our sons' favorite places to eat. If you aren't familiar with the concept, it works like this: For a fixed price, you can help yourself to the generous salad bar/buffet table and the waiters will bring side dishes (mashed potatoes and delicious fried bananas) to your table, then they will come by the table in a... more

Fogo de Chao has great Brazilian barbeque and is a great restaurant to attend with a group as no ordering is involved. Delicious food, great atmosphere. more

Enjoyed dinner and wine a couple of times now. Expect a lively restaurant (read high noise level), lots of action as meat comes around on skewers. Surprisingly, the chicken legs are incredibly delicious and are not to be missed amongst the dozen or so variety of beef that comes around. Sadly, by the time the dessert tray comes around, I'm... more

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
