      Hi is this place halal?

      A:

      I can't imagine that it is a halal restaurant as they serve shellfish and pork.

      I went to Fogo for happy hour. The happy hour selection is amazing! They have a variety of food and drink options and the prices are amazing. There is a burger and fries on the happy hour menu and it's only $9! It's definitely worthwhile going to Fogo for happy hour.

      The bar area is pretty spacious and there's plenty of seating. However, I would try to get there before 5pm on Thursday and Fridays because it can get pretty crowded.

      The service was good. Our waitress was not as attentive because the bar area was very busy. However, the food came out fast and was so delicious.

      OVERALL: Best happy hour in the city - high quality food and drink at actual happy hour prices

      FOOD: the HH menu had really good options. We got the queijo assado (cheese) and chicken sliders. And from the shareable menu, which was also well priced, we got the bone churrasco board. The large beef rib was delicate and delicious. Probably the best item we tried!

      SERVICE: waitstaff was incredibly helpful and attentive. Such great attitude from all the staff!

      VENUE: enter from the 11th st side. We sat in the bar area, which was far more upscale than a traditional bar area. Lots of seating options for various groups sizes and window seats.

      Great food, service, and venue! Must visit!

      Believe the hype! Fogo de Chão is a one stop shop for meat, cheese bread, and general good eats. We were there for their brunch special and got a great deal. All kinds of meat was brought to our table freshly skewered and cooked, and it kept coming as long as we kept our meat chips flipped to green. There folks on intimate dates and folks with children, so the vibe was very varied. The staff were all knowledgeable and able to help us solve any questions we had.

      Besides meat, we were able to serve ourselves our own breakfast delights from the brunch bar, including fruit, waffles, and even smoothie shots! There was also an extensive salad bar.

      I'm hoping to come back for my birthday. I'm all in on Fogo de Chão!

      Went for the brunch all experience and it is absolutely delicious. The meat was the most succulent and tender texture ever that I have tasted, and I enjoyed it tremendously. It was my first time patronizing and it lived up to its reputation. My partner has been here numerous times and raves about the meat all the time. The salad bar and fruits are refreshing complimentary items for the meaty mains. Would recommend going for brunch vs dinner as it is rather heavy and takes long to digest, and it is cheaper too, without compromising on the quality or quantity.

      Regrettably, this dining experience fell short of expectations. The bustling restaurant environment posed challenges, with servers appearing overworked and agitated when requested clarifications regarding food allergies like celiac.

      The culinary disappointments included bland, watery mashed potatoes, undercooked bananas, and steaks exhibiting extremes of overcooking or rawness, all lacking in flavor and, unfortunately, rendering the entire meal inedible.

      Upon expressing dissatisfaction, the server, in an attempt to remedy the situation, provided a buy-one-get-one-free entreé voucher for a future visit, accompanied by the check. Despite an expenditure nearing $200, the perceived value did not align with the cost incurred. I didn't want a voucher, I wanted a refund!

      Approach with caution and set expectations accordingly--this stands as the least satisfactory steakhouse to date!

      I could eat at Fogo everyday if I wanted to. The meat is always so fresh, tender, HOT, well salted or just seasoned. Our Servers were amazing. We asked to be brought the beef rib one of my favorites. Always must have the pork sausage, top and bottom sirloin and the honey mozzarella. The salad bar is always fully stocked and satisfying. Helped myself to some fruit, charcuterie, and salad. It's always packed in there and everyone's having a good time.

      Went to Fogo de Chao for the first time, and woah, I've never seen that much meat in my life. The second I flipped my card over, I was swarmed and overwhelmed with a plethora of meat.

      I learned you need to be strategic when coming here. Pace yourself, don't get overwhelmed the amount of meats and don't eat too quickly. Try the sides but don't fill up on it. The mashed potato, polenta, plantains, and cheese bread were good and constantly refilling but that's how they get you. And, make sure you know what meats you want so you can request it. They have fillet mignon but I had to request it a couple times to actually get it to the table... get your moneys worth!

      The meat itself is pretty good and endless. The service was also great. Would definitely come back!

      We did the Churrasco experience. This location was $71.99 per person, some other fogo's are around $60 per person
      FOOD- We started by choosing our sides in the back. They've got a pretty large variety. I got the sweet potato casserole (amazing), hummus (delicious), roasted garlic (very yummy with my steak), asparagus (wasn't cooked how I like it, was too hard), and a few other options. They also bring complimentary mashed potatoes, cheese bread, and caramelized bananas to the table.

      The steak was amazing. I've been to a few other locations but this specific one was great at bringing meats other than sirloin. I love the filet mignon and bone in ribeye cuts. They were delicious and melted in my mouth.

      SERVICE/AMBIANCE- service was amazing. Made sure we were taken care of. This place definitely gets a little crowded on the weekends.

      PARKING- Valet is $12 if I remember correctly. Street parking is a pain and the parking garages are about $25 for 2 hours. I'd recommend valet or street parking if you can get it.

      The brunch experience was just meh. Not a lot of good breakfast bar options-so if you're going for that and NOT the meat, don't waste your time. The made to order waffles and omelettes were unimpressive. Service was good. Restaurant is nice.

      Katherin was AMAZING!!! After an absolute failure at a restaurant down the block where they didn't even serve us after 15min being sitting there waiting, THIS CREW knew how to work! Upon entering there was service with a smile, courteous staff, and the waitress Katherin was right at the table waiting for us. She was helpful and clear in instructions and how the menu works, then...the food. omg! So glad we went here and not some "British" pub. Not only was this place elegant, clean, and spacious, the food was outstanding! We tried the salad bar full service experience and also the Chilean Sea Bass. What a kick in the pants! Thank you for not screwing up this fish. salt, pepper, a little oil or butter is all you need and you guys did it. The other meats were nearly to die for. My husband loved the lamb and even said it was probably the best he's ever eaten. That is high praise coming from a former chef. :D Way to go, guys!!! Y'all deserve raises for your above n beyond service and skill!

      Salad Bar!!!
