Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse

As they were building this location I was really surprised as it looked like such a small footprint. The restaurant in no way feels small. The ceilings are gloriously high with warm wood paneling. The walls are glass windows that meet the ceiling. There is also a lovely outdoor seating area and a room for parties or meetings. We decided to stop in for a leisurely lunch as we both had off for the holiday. Everyone from the hostess to all our servers, gauchos and the support staff were ever so helpful, friendly, and welcoming. We had multiple orders of the wonderful pandebono popovers, fried polenta and trips to the salad bar. My favorites were the chopped beetroot salad, asparagus and fresh mozzarella. My husband enjoyed the fig preserves, prosciutto, black beans and rice, and the fresh papaya. The picanha is always a favorite as well as the sirloin. We were far too full to enjoy dessert or a glass of port, which they have many offerings! We will definitely be back either to entertain friends or with my husbands vendors. I would even recommend Fogo if you have vegetarian friends or family as the salad bar is really so lovely.

The Worst Dining Experience - Avoid at All CostsThis was, without a doubt, the absolute worst dining experience of my life. The food was terrible, and the service was even worse. The staff employed clear stall tactics with the meats, dragging out the process and making the entire meal frustrating.After multiple attempts to get some resolution, an assistant manager by the name of Jose Huezo approached our table--not to resolve the issue, but to speak at us in a condescending manner. Instead of addressing our concerns professionally, he outright accused us of trying to get a free meal and threatened to call the police if we refused to pay. At that point, we made it clear we would only be paying for the drinks we had consumed and encouraged him to go ahead with his threat.For 30 minutes, we were subjected to hostile stares from the staff, making an already miserable experience even worse. Finally, the actual manager, Fabio, intervened. Unlike Jose, Fabio handled the situation professionally, apologizing multiple times and ensuring we could leave without further issue. While we appreciate Fabio's efforts to make things right, the damage had already been done.We will never return to this location on Daryl Carter Parkway, and we will actively discourage anyone from making the mistake of dining here. A restaurant that allows such unprofessional, hostile behavior from its staff--especially management--doesn't deserve anyone's business. Avoid this place.

Came for brunch to celebrate Valentine's Day weekend. For the full experience lunch price of $50pp and all day happy hour, it was well worth it. Just make sure to come hungry. There was an omelet station as well as waffles available at the beginning of the buffet line. The gauchos came around with a whole variety of meats, although I did have to ask for the filet at the very end since that was the only one we didn't see come around. I think the flank steak and top sirloin were the best as far as taste and temperature. Towards the end of our meal, they brought out some cheese and honey to our table. I thought it was amazing, and it was the first time I had tried it. The happy hour drinks my husband and I had were really good. I had the Strawberry Caipirinha and my husband had the Goldrush. He said it tasted like his favorite old fashioned drink.The restaurant inside is beautiful and spacious and the bar itself could be its own venue. I was skeptical of the location when I saw where it was being built, but I think they will be very successful.

We just had a great lunch here. Yes it's expensive, but it doesn't have to be. Lunch is cheaper than dinner for the full experience, which includes a great salad and veggie bar plus fresh meats being brought around to your table, as much as you want. But you can also just get the veggie bar for $18 and they also have a bar menu where you can get sliders and different less expensive options.There were five of us in our party and one of us just got the bar and one other ordered the Seabass. She said it was delicious and it includes the bar as well. The next time I come, I'm just going to get the bar. It was pretty expansive and not too expensive.The only issue we ran into was the service being slow towards the end of a meal, but they had a customer service girl walking around and she is the one who ended up bringing our check and our dessert. I hope she gets some of the tip. You should sign up for their rewards program on their website because you get $25 off for your birthday plus a free dessert.

Me and my husband were the 1st customers that attended at the grand Opening today. We were so surprised because we just wanted to grab lunch here before we go to the airport and back to California!Everything was so nice and so clean! We saw a lot of trainees and everyone put their BEST foot forward!SERVICE: EXCELLENT!!! Shout out to Brandon, Alex, Thais and their team for giving us a VIP experience.We will not forget this moment that you all made so very special for us!

Everyone was so nice! This is Fogo de Chao's 100th store in the nation & I'm sure they will keep growing because of their excellent food, service & passionate team!CHEERS & Rock on Fogo De Chao!

We really enjoyed this special experience, but it would not be somewhere we would go regularly. We were greeted and seated quickly, then our server briefly explained how the meal works. We made a visit to the salad bar and really enjoyed the selection of fresh meat and veggies. Our favorite was the bacon! Upon returning the table we were barraged with meat options and enjoyed a few of the cuts (filet and picanha). The other options were just okay. We really appreciated the yummy complimentary dessert for my husband's birthday and topped off the meal with a few cocktails. The ambiance wasn't quite up to par for a fancy date night as it was loud, rushed, and full of tourists...but it was a fun experience to try once.

We had a wonderful evening. Truly enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was top notch! All of the food was hot and flavorful, we had the salad bar & churasco. I enjoy the fact that for a Brazilian Steakhouse, the meat was not over salted as other concepts do and leaving you extremely thirsty. The cocktails were made perfectly. We had the hibiscus strawberry caipirinha. Don't forget to save room for the Creme brûlée Cheesecake that melts in your mouth. We will definitely be back!

New establishment. The building and decor are very nice. I recommend studying the menu before going , especially if new to the Brazilian dining. Great for meat lovers, and groups of four or more to share. The market bar is superb with salads, veggie options, charcuterie items, and rice and beans. I had just this as my meal and was quite satisfied. The others in my party had single entrees and were disappointed. Both selections were underwhelming. The pork was dry. It took a half an hour to get our appetizer, and the sides arrived before it. The main meat dish came a half an hour after that, and we had no plates to put it on. The cocktails were delicious. They were busy and the staff did their best. We had three different servers working with us, which got a bit confusing. It was a fun experience, and we didn't leave hungry thanks to the market bar which comes with all orders. But if you're looking for a good steak, try Ocean Prime.

A Devine happy hour at the New Fogo location here in Orlando at Regency Park. This is a beautiful restaurant located off the new Daryl Carter Prkway close to all the Disney attractions. Fogo does a great job with their bar bites menu and offer some prime meat selections too. Where else can you find lamb chops for $15 and all day happy hour items starting at $6. Not to mention an amazing lunch option for anyone starving for A+ salad and soup bar.

Fogo is my favorite place to go for any occasion. This location by far has to be my favorite the salad bar alone is unbelievable. The wide range of items had me sold compared to other Fogos I've been to. Everyone who works here go over the top..My fav place to eat and to enjoy food company with my family.
