Best Brazilian Restaurants in New Milford

Great food and drinks. Truly authentic Brazilian food.

If you are a foodie who thrives for savory cuts of meat and wants to experience excellent customer service, this is the place to be. My wife and I went to Churrascaria Plataforma recently, and we enjoyed every second of the experience. From the variety of meats to the delicious choices at the salad bar, my wife and I definitely left full and satisfied. Another memorable moment was the attention of the staff. Leo, Edmundo and other staff members were very attentive and checked in with us every so often. Overall, my wife and I had a great time, and we will definitely be returning back soon.

Dear Fogo de Chão Management I am writing to express my disappointment with an issue we encountered during our dinner last night at your Paramus location. While the dining experience itself was enjoyable, an incident towards the end of the evening left a lasting negative impression. When it came time to pay the bill, my credit card was misplaced by the staff. For approximately 30 minutes, the staff searched for my card. During this time, neither my wife nor I received any updates or acknowledgment of the situation. Eventually, our waiter returned with my card and the bill, but the handling of the situation was far from satisfactory. The manager did briefly come by to apologize for the inconvenience, but no meaningful attempt was made to address the frustration or inconvenience caused by this situation. I believe that during such a prolonged and stressful incident, proactive communication and a genuine effort to make amends—such as a timely update or even a courtesy gesture like a discount on the bill—would have demonstrated better customer service. We expected a higher standard of care and professionalism. While mistakes happen, how they are handled reflects your commitment to customer satisfaction. I hope you will take this feedback seriously and consider reviewing your procedures to better address situations like this in the future. I look forward to hearing how this can be improved to ensure a positive experience for your guests moving forward. Thank you for your time and attention. Sincerely, Derick Causing Edit: 11/24/2024 initially gave one star for the experience given the incident however please see below in response to my grievances. Manager Dante called me the following day to apologize for the night before. He rectified the issue by giving my wife and I complimentary dinner coupons at a time of our choosing. While I understand problems do happen I appreciate the gesture by manager Dante. Will be dining with Fogo De Chao.

My wife and I are regulars here, so clearly we love the food and the restaurant in general. We even had our engagement party here! All the meats come out fresh and frequent. Servers are surprisingly attentive and quick to respond to requests despite the insane size of the place (we always request the lamb chops and grilled cheese ASAP).  Despite being a chain restaurant, the quality of the beef is impeccable. We were less impressed by the chicken and pork dishes, but it’s AYCE, so no issue with that. Only complaint is that despite making reservations, we still often have to wait 20+ minutes to be seated because of how busy the restaurant is. It seems like they overbook sometimes and end up with a massive crowd in the lobby. That said, totally worth it…every time :)

Great place for dates, events and even by yourself, highly recommend
