   we had a reservation for my birthday dinner at 8:45pm and were made to wait 35-40 minutes just to get seated. we kept asking for updates and were repeatedly told only a few more minutes and our table was being readied for us, which was clearly just being said to keep us waiting. the service once we were seated wasn’t great, they took forever to get our drinks order and then get our drinks. Food was alright but would recommend Estancia over Fogo. Sausage was horrible and the meats were clearly not rested. Chaotic experience that didn’t live up to expectations and was not what i wanted for my birthday dinner.

   This is by far the best for FdC - amazing salad bar, the meats are brilliant and they always keep them well sauced up. Great service!

   I recently dined at Fogo de Chao and I had an absolutely wonderful experience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with attentive and friendly staff that made me feel right at home. The menu offered a fantastic variety of options, and every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. I particularly loved the picanha which was cooked to perfection. Service was impeccable throughout the meal, Fernando was checking in at just the right moments without being intrusive. The ambiance, coupled with great food and excellent service, made for an unforgettable dining experience. I highly recommend Fogo de Chao to anyone looking for a steakhouse and I’ll definitely be returning!

   Don’t know what happened yesterday January 7, 2025 but we showed up for dinner and got our table. Salad bar was not the best it’s ever been. Smoked salmon was dry, like it sat out in the open for several hours. Cucumber salad was also dry, cucumbers looked like they were sitting from the lunch rush. Bacon wasn’t at its best, don’t know what happened but I know they can do it better because I’ve experienced it before. Was it worth the $360? I would say it was more like $200s worth.

   We had a party of 8 on NYE. It wasn’t incredibly busy since we went early but some never got their drinks and they only brought the meat service to our table 5 times (3 times was the same meat). Spent the time waiting super long in between the meats even though we made requests and our cards were green.

   First visit and only positive remarks. Service excellent although our server could speak a little louder.. very difficult to hear. The market table/salad bar is phenomenal but since I have limited capacity I will either do without it next time or only partake after I have had the meat coarse. We had the lamb picanha entree and not the entire feast experience.. again as my capacity is limited.. although I wish I had been able to try all the meats being offered . We went to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary and upon learning that we were not charged for either of our desserts . Prices are extremely reasonable except for parking. Since restaurant is located in a downtown Austin hotel, valet parking is $15 which may be normal but which my husband resents. Not only will we be back but reservations are already made for Valentine's celebration.
