What People Are Saying About Fogao Gaucho - Downtown

In Short – Inside this carnivore's paradise, the gauchos will explain the system and school you in the art of using tongs to grab the carved meat from the giant skewers presented tableside. Before the meat parade begins, hit the salad bar, which offers quality and variety, including feijoada, black beans cooked with rice and pork. Sixteen meats, pork, chicken and fish cuts are advertised during the rodizio portion of the one-price, all-you-can-eat meal.

Great food- but...

...the place has been closed for more than a year now. It's going to be a noodle restaurant or something next (if it's not already).

Brazilian Meat Paradise

Well first I must say that Downtown Atl seems to be a dead spot after 6pm. Went about 7:30 on a thur and had the place to ourselves. That being said it was an enjoyable experience.
The service was very good and part of the experience. The salad bar to start is a nice mix of treats to wet your appetite for the main course to come. Once you are ready turn the wheel to green and let the meat start coming.
It was a mixed bag some are excellent cuts, come a littled over cooked and dried out. I do wish that some of the better cuts from early on would come back in rotation earlier. Also dissapointed seemed to be no lamb that night. Also, the sides that go with the meat might seem incidental, but are very good in their own right. Loved the cheese puff and meat pie.
Overall a good experience

Surprised and impressed

It was hard to find, but I'm glad we did... I was a little worried when we walked in and saw that it was smaller than expected and it wasn't very busy (that's usually not a good sign), but my worries disappeared after we were seated. The server quickly greeted us and made us feel like we were guests in her home. She was a little green, but her attitude was terrific, which overcomes experience in my book. The salad bar was small, and very well presented. I am impressed to see what they did with what they had.
On to the meats... The guys with the spikes (gauchos) were excellent! They were very personable, and not like trained robots that I have seen elsewhere. Each had their own personality, and they made it clear that they were there to serve me, continually asking if our meats were cooked to our liking (which I'm not used to seeing). Overall, a great experience... hard to find, but well worth the effort!
