   I don’t frequent Fogo but had a gift card so I went. The salad bar is usually good and I experienced the same. However, when it came to the meat service and frequency of meat served, my husband and I had to wait for an extended period of time. One of the managers finally approached us and asked if we needed anything. We did complain of the infrequency of meats being served and our waitress had not come back to check on us as we wanted refills on water. Once we got served the selections of meat, we were disappointed at the quality and flavor of the meat. The top sirloin was dry, the chicken breast overcooked and dry, and the flavor was lacking… even the simplicity of salt. The franchise has gone down in quality over the years and we have not been back. It’s not worth the money.

   I recently had the pleasure of dining at Fogo de Chao-Towson and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The service was exceptional—attentive without being overbearing, and the staff went out of their way to ensure that we felt comfortable and well-cared-for throughout the meal. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, offered thoughtful recommendations, and kept our drinks refreshed without needing to be asked. As for the food, it was equally impressive. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. I particularly enjoyed the all you can eat meat selections which were cooked to perfection. The ingredients were fresh, and the seasoning was spot-on, striking a perfect balance between bold and subtle flavors. The menu had a great variety, catering to different tastes, and everything we tried was satisfying. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and inviting, with just the right level of noise and a cozy yet elegant atmosphere. Overall, it was a memorable dining experience, and I would highly recommend Fogo de Chao-Towson to anyone looking for both great food and excellent service. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

   My experience is comparative based on visiting FDC locations nationwide on numerous occasions. This was our first visit to this newest FDC location in our area. A party of 4 for a 6:30 PM reservation on Friday. We waited about 15-minutes after arriving to be seated at our table. The hostess waiting area is somewhat inconvenient. Service overall was sporadic with many Gauchos passing by our table of empty plates on numerous occasions. However, the waitresses peddling the "extra" side dishes and appetizers were never too far away. The salad bar was very well stocked with all the usual food stuffs. Many of the meat selections were over-salted more than usual. We will probably choose one of the other locations for future FDC reservations.

   It is well built and decorated, but too small for a fogo! They need more wait stuff, we saw a table sitting for 20 min without being turned over, which is strange, considering u got pple waiting to be fitted. Another fix would be hosts!! I am used to cheerful hosts who welcome you with a smile.... those three need a lesson on smiling. Overall, the food was good and the noise level was down. Our waiter was lovely

   This place was awful!! The bar service was fair and we should have sat there . We have been to the one in Baltimore many of times and you are constantly being served meat and the food bar is beautifully stocked . This place the salad bar was picked through not restocked and we had to constantly chase down servers for meat. When it did arrive we it was over cooked . We ended up leaving early disappointed in the whole experience. Our water was never refilled or our sides. We sat ignored

   It was my birthday dinner and I wanted to experience it here. I paid for a full experience to be the lamb chops. After several times of asking for them, I only received two pieces the entire night. I could have just gotten the $39 special and saved half the price. Very disappointed‼️‼️‼️

   I expected the meat to be more tender after all the hype I received. The filet mignon was tasty, but almost as tough as flank steak.
