fogo de chao brazilian steakhouse

we were not disappointed by the quantity of meat. thisplaceis heresy for vegetarians but there are salads and the wonderful fried bananas.

our friends arrived after a battle with the la traffic. the feast began with regular visits from waiters bearing skewers of roast meats and bbq and seasoned varieties of poultry.

fried bananas for vegetarians but definitely come to this restaurant if you are a meat lover.

great experience and compared to service and quality you get the price is also fair...
the meat variation is fascinating as well as the tastes. any chance to be around d.c. this point stands for aplacenot to miss, have a go, try and enjoy the cuisine...

great way to end a tuesday night, from start to finish, all the wait staff were so attentive. food was amazing, great salad bar, meats were full of flavor and the desserts was the best, moltem cake is a must try. can't wait to go back and i recommend this steakhouse to everyone that enjoy a good steak. bestplacein the twins cities for sure.

horrible service/management. i went here with my fiance and her family for a lovely evening of food and drinks. the salad bar was old and stale. there was basically no service, no refills, and we could not find our or any server to help the entire time. when we talked to the manager about it (lauri) he did nothing. i would not recommend thisplaceto anyone. go to texas de brazil. way better food and service.

meat!. meat heaven! i love thisplacethe meat prepared to perfection and i've tasted it all. the service we received was excellent and our server made sure we always had the cuts of meat we really liked. oh yea the lemon-aid is to die for.

this was the first time my girlfriend and i came to this restaurant. i had heard a lot about thisplaceand was recommended here by several people. i had got on their facebook list and they gave me a $25 off so that was pretty nice. theplacehere looked pretty, amazing wine cellar and decor was detailed, specially the salad bar, beautiful live flowers.all the waiters that served us that night was on point. they made sure we were both ok with drinks and food. caipirinha, their specialty, is great by the way. when it came to the steaks, they gave us each a card that's green on one side and red on the other. so when we both flip to green, the steaks just on coming from the chefs. great steaks, very juice and cooked really well. sea salt on the beef is just a great combination.there was a good variety of steaks, one of my favorite was the garlic steak, i love garlic. i had to get multiple of that one. there was also a salad bar section where it was buffet style, smoked salmon was my favorite. also a mozzarella cheese salad looked so good.after we were done with the steaks, we moved on towards desserts. we got the papaya cream from what waiter recommended and he even put a special note for us. i really enjoyed thisplaceand i highly recommend coming here again. great service, amazing staff. the hospitality is very welcoming. if you sign up for their email club, they will send a voucher for your birthday month as well. coming back for sure and recommend this great restaurant to everybody.

i want to send a big warm thank you to fogo de chao mpls for making our ‘end of summer’ family barbecue so awesome! we decided no one should have to cook or clean after hosting our huge family, so we turned to our favorite spectacular steakplacedowntown. it was the perfect choice for this special gathering. the staff is so welcoming and friendly, they make you feel comfortable and right at home. and the food is terrific! there is something for everyone, including juicy steaks, savory pork, and tender chicken. there is even a vast salad bar with classic and exotic delights. everyone was pleased and satisfied. we had a spacious table in the new beautiful expansion room, and there was easy valet parking right out front. there was rich red wine for those of us who like a fine drink with dinner, traditional brazilian soda for the kids, and even a good variety of beers for the guys! we will definitely be making fogo our family’s new meeting place. it’s a guaranteed great meal at an incredibly reasonable price!

if you are a real carnivore thisplaceis heaven for you. best way to taste all different types of brazilian meats. great service, love their salad bar and appetizers too. you won't leave thisplacewithout having a food coma :)

incredible. not much can be said about fogo de chão that hasn't already been said. waitstaff are so fast and notice coaster colors very quickly. the salad bar is great, but the assortment of meats is the best. very funplaceto go with a small group of 4 people or so.

fogo de chao is awesome! i was excited to enjoy a top steakhouse in minneapolis! we had the greatest service ever! from start to finish we were treated like kings! it was our 3 year anniversary and the amazing service was perfect. we made our reservation on open table and revived 100 points which was fantastic. we were greeted by a very kind hostess with the greatest smile. she checked us in and said "happy anniversary you two" which was a very nice touch. we requested a window table which they honored very nice for sure. the server greeted us right away and the knowledge and hospitality was like something my boyfriend and i have never experienced. the server suggested the brazilian national drink made with juicy limes and a rum from brazil. we ordered the sensational drink and had a couple more after!! the salad bar was the first course, and what a salad bar! giant asparagus, aged perfect cheese and meats,and the best butter nut squash soup i have ever had. the server delivered our drinks and sparkling water before we got back from the salad bar and the coolest think was is that he folded our napkins again and pulled our chairs our for us as we returned. this is not something that happens often especially for a gay couple. they made us feel so welcome and set us at ease. after we enjoyed our delicious salad and soups we stated on the meat course. at fogo you have a little cute green and red disk, when the disk is on green the cute gaucho chefs in the little outfits serve meat to the table. they show and tell you what kind of meat they are serving you can say yes or no and the meat come and comes. it's so fun to chose the meat you want. it's like virtual ordering. back and forth from red and green all night we dinned on the best meats i had ever had! if your looking for aplacethat you chose your experience and your treated like royalty as you do it then fogo is theplacefor you. a special thanks to eddie,al and matthew for stopping by the table to thank us for dinning with them. how many places have you had a manger not to mention 3 stop by thank us for dining and say "if everything isn't perfect let me know and i'll make sure it is" so amazing! fogo you made our anniversary perfect and we will be back. customers for life!! jim and josh.

i'd always wanted to try a brazilian steakhouse and my husband finally relented on this dc trip. the service was absolutely great. when you turned your card to green, several guys would run over with all different options of delicious meat. you do not leave thisplacehungry. they also have an incredible salad bar with cheeses and very nice salads and vegetables.

my recommendation is hold out for the good cuts of meat. in the beginning you're kind of overwhelmed and i said yes to everyone that came over, and i wish i would have declined and waited for the higher quality meat to come around, which i did, but i was very full at that point.

great management and service here, everyone was working really hard. i believe our server was fiorella, so thank you fio! and the guy in my photo was also awesome. he remembered i wanted medium rare so when he had that he came back to me to give me a good cut.

great salad bar. i am a vegetarian and my husband is a meat eater. this is oneplacewhere we can both get the really yummy food we want. i love their salad bar!

love this place!!. yes, it's a bit pricey. no, you will be not be disappointed. the service and food is exceptional. awesomeplaceto eat!! i love all their selections of meats.
