    Fogo de Chao was good. But on a scale, I give it 7 of 10. The food was tasty and the Rodizio was plentiful. But I struggle with the price of $72 per person. I know we didn’t eat $72 of meat each. The salads and sides were fair in quality but again not $72 per person fair. It was definitely an experience but I think I the rodizios in Newark, NJ are a little bit better.

    He purchased a gift card just a few months ago and did not realize that it recently expired. I’ve never heard of such from a restaurant of this type. We also checked in for our reservation, which was made via open table, but somehow the young man at the front desk did not accurately check us in and we received a no-show notice, which was not correct !
    Fogo de Chao - BridgewaterResponded on May 20, 2025
    It seems there were some misunderstandings during your visit, Carla. We strive to provide seamless experiences, and it's concerning to hear about the gift card and reservation issues.

     This was my first time dining at this establishment, and I came in with high expectations after hearing many positive reviews about the food, service, and ambiance. Upon arrival, I was impressed,the space looked great, and the atmosphere felt welcoming. The service was attentive, the drinks were decent, and the side dishes for the meats were enjoyable. Unfortunately, the main highlight,the meat was a major letdown. As soon as it was served, I noticed it was dry. I even started choking on it and had to drink water just to get it down. My dining partner couldn’t finish any of the meat because the texture and taste were so off-putting that it was essentially inedible. For the price of the meal, this level of quality is simply unacceptable. When you’re paying a premium, the food should reflect that standard. While there were a few positive aspects, the poor execution of the main course overshadowed the entire experience. I truly hope management takes this feedback seriously and makes the necessary improvements.

    Dined at the Bridgewater location last night and had a wonderful time. Everyone from management to the servers, bartenders and gauchos were absolutely fabulous. The service was impeccable and unmatched by any other restaurant I have dined at recently. Will definitely be making this our weekly date night!

    We’ve been to Fogo many, many times, and it was always very good. But this is the first time we went on a weekday at 1pm. The restaurant was relatively empty with just 7 or 8 tables. The problem is that there was only one waitress working and one server serving the meat. We Waited a long time for any service and the meat selection was extremely poor. The guy came over once every 15 minutes with the same cut of meat, I asked for other cuts and nothing was readily available. He was willing to make them but it would take time. After an hour we just gave up waiting for food and left very dissatisfied. Won’t go back on a weekday afternoon.
