Fogo is easily the best food I've ever eaten. The Brazilian style meats are cooked over open fire to PERFECTION. The meal is decadent and perfect for a first date, second date and every date if you can afford it. The meats are five star quality meats, this is not Golden Coral, it's a five-star resturant that feeds you until you surrender, and believe me you will surrender. When you are served, you can tell them how you like it... if the meat is too rare you can tell them 'well done' and they will make it for you. They will prepare every cut to your satisfaction, no matter how many times you ask them to bring it more or less well done. This place is a meat lover's paradise! Why pay $40-$50 for a 9 oz. filet when you can go to Fogo and get every cut they have for a coupla bucks more? **The service is amazing, every employee in the establishment will serve you hand and foot. **The food is DEVINE **The place leaves nothing more to be desired, if Fogo De Chao does not please you, nothing can. Tips... **Don't fill up on the salad bar, you're not really paying for the lettuce **Go with the regular meats, stay away from the 'Garlic meats' **The best beef cuts are: Pichaņa, Bottom Serloin, Filet, **Take the lambchops medium rare **Try everything on the menu once, but don't eat the stuff you don't like, just have them take it away **THE MOST IMPORTANT THING** **ASK FOR EVERYTHING YOU WANT, IT WILL MAKE THEM HAPPY TO PLEASE YOU** **DON'T BE SHY, YOU ARE THERE FOR THE EXPERIENCE, DON'T CHEAT THEM OUT OF THE OPPERTUNITY TO PROVIDE THE BEST POSSIBLE EXPERIENCE FOR YOU.** TAKE CARE, ALI PARMAN 404-671-7473

Pros: DIVINE FOOD. BEST MEAL OF YOUR LIFE.

Cons: YOU MAY LEAVE EXTREMELY STUFFED.

I visited Fogo de Chao in Atlanta for the first time this week and it was absolutely wonderful. I was so impressed with the food as well as the service. I'm ready to go back again. Thoroughly impressed and would tell anyone who has the chance make sure to stop by.

Pros: Ambience, service, food

Compare Fogo De Chao to Texas De Brazil. Claim to be the same, but Texas De Brazil is much better and worth the money. Fogo De Chao is more expensive, meat all taste the same and salad bar nothing special. Service was good although it seems they were always in a hurry to beat the other servers to your table. Restaurant was clean and staff was friendly. If you are looking for a great meal then drive past Fogo De Chao and find a Texas De Brazil!

I have been twice to Fogo de Chao for my birthday and then for my husband's. I've been impressed every time. The service is very attentive and the food is great. Be prepared to leave with your belly full. On my husband's birthday, we unfortunately had a car accident when we were only 5 minutes from the restaurant. Knowing that Atlanta PD would be a while, I called the restaurant and asked if they could hold our reservation. This was on a busy Saturday night. The restaurant was so accommodating and told us they'd seat us whenever we could get there. I was very impressed. I'll definitely be back!

Pros: great service, great food

Cons: expensive...but it's too be expected

My husband & I ate here last night for his birthday. Although I'm a vegetarian this was one of my best dining experiences. There was plenty of options for me on the salad bar (chick peas & potato salad was my fav) as well as the potatoes, bread and bananas that are brought to the table. My husband enjoyed all of the meats served but his favorites were lamb chop and filet mignon. Be sure to try their Limeade, great non-alcoholic beverage. The best part about this restuarant is the service. The waiters were very attentive to our needs, we never had to ask for anything. My husband left stuffed & happy!!!

Pros: Customer Service

Cons: None

The food at Fogo de Chao is great, but make sure only to go if you have the appetite to eat all those delcious meats. The salad bar was very delicious and had a variety of items that were also delicious. The lemonade there is slammin. The very best I have ever had. The waiters and waitresses were very attentive...almost too attentive. The never let my glass get empty. It is very expensive, but the food was delicious!!

Pros: Delicous food and great service

Cons: Very, very expensive.

This is by far the best Brazilian Steakhouse! I highly advise you to avoid trying to cut costs by going to knock-off Brazilian steakhouses. You will be disppointed! My husband and I have gone at least 8 times and have ALWAYS been very satisfied with Fogo. Service is impeccable. The food is seasoned to perfection. You can't go wrong with Fogo! I was prompted to write this review today, because my husband and I just left another so-called Brazilian restaurant extremely upset to say the least. We never have to put any seasonings on our food when we dine at Fogo. Salt & Pepper didn't help this steakhouse. We were trying to avoid the Buckhead traffic due to special events this weekend. We were in the Perimeter Mall area and he was craving meat! We're still kicking ourselves that we didn't just opt for another day since we couldn't do Fogo's.

Pros: Food is seasoned to perfection

Cons: Location

Editor's Review

Fast-paced steakhouse brings the flavors of a Brazilian cookout to Buckhead.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

What to Drink

Sip on a fine South American wine from Argentina and Chile, which will nicely complement the meat selection or ask your server for a recommendation.
