Fogo De Chao

Very good, recommend taking your time, bring your appetite, but don't over eat--you will regret it the next 1-2 days. The meat sits heavy in your stomach. Be choosy, some meats are much better than others, stay off the cheap stuff because the price is high (unless your a 300 lb pro tackle). Excellent service, very fast and efficient, nice atmosphere. more

This was really an incredible experience. Yes, you must LOVE meat for it to be worth the cost. It is a parade of protein. However, the service was top-notch. I had a plate handed to me each time I approached the salad bar. My chair was pushed in behind me almost every time I returned to the table. Our glasses were always kept full of whatever beverage we ordered. Each server acted like they were our own personal staff. I was even able to request my favorite cut of meat from a gaucho who immediately went to the kitchen and returned with a skewer full of piping hot bacon wrapped filet mignon! We were celebrating two family birthdays. We made reservations through the website and noted this. On the day of our visit, I received a phone call from the hostess to set up exactly what I wanted for the birthday desserts. they decorated the plates with ""Happy Birthday"". Granted, some cuts of meat were better than others, but you can choose to eat only the one's you prefer. There are 15 to choose from, and they will cook to order! more

Went with a group of friends, food was amazing. Salad bar was load with anything you could want, it was so fresh and delicious. Service is great you never have to wait just flip your disk to green and they come right over. Best advice I can give is don?t fill up on Salad bar, even though it?s so tempting. It?s on the expensive side, but if you?re going out for something special or have the money to blow? this is the place to be. more

I went there for fathers day with a group of about 15 couples. The salad bar was very impressive and the roasted meat was exellent. The food never stop coming and the service was great. This so far has been my best dinning experience ever. I have not stop talking about this restaurant since fathers day. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone who never been to this place. It is worth the trip and the money, the parking may be bad but I think that it`s worth the experience; this place is just that good. more

My family enjoyed our second dinner at Fogo, Center City Phila. last evening. The service is exceptional, cuts of meat are outstanding, ""salad"" bar is fresh and delicious, atmosphere and decor beautiful. Just a phenomenal dining experience. Pros: Everything Cons: Nothing more

Impressive Brazilian BBQ. You pay a lot, but also get a ton of food. The sad thing is seeing a lot of obese Americans eating themselves to death at the table (.... than you wonder why pay a fortune for personal health-insurance?) At any rate, everything was good, but I ended up dropping ~$170 for a dinner for two after the movie...a bit steep, isn't it? Pros: great salad bar Cons: I never spent less than $85/person more

Went for my birthday back in August. All I can say is ""WOW""... This place is the epitome of EXCESS. First they have you dig in to the salad bar, which is loaded with all kinds of fancy stuff, in addition to salad. Being the meat-iterian I am, I wisely passed on this distraction and flipped my disc to the green side, while my wife decided she would have a plate or two from the salad bar. Within moments, crazed cowboys that spoke little english began galivanting about, carving off slices of roasted meats at a frantic pace. Tempting sides and rolls were also brought to our table and constantly refreshed, even if we only took a little spoonful. Wife saw that I was in too deep and bailed on her salad to get into the action. I can honestly say she enjoyed herself, and once we figured out which meats we liked and which ones to pass on, we continued to gorge ourselves until pain set in. Wife backed off after a few rounds and flipped her disc over to the red side, as she is much smaller than I. I however, continued to eat through the pain, reaching the point of perspiration - a phenomena I call ""the meat sweats"". It was only then I reluctantly flipped my disc over to the red side. After such a feast, there was certainly no room for dessert, and if you do have room for dessert, you are cheating yourself. Pros: Excellent Food, Non-stop service, Eat till you drop! Cons: Costly, tempting salad bar and side dishes more

We went here with a huge group of friends and none of us was disappointed. The food is very good, meat selection is endless. Yes it is not cheap and kind of noisy. We were noisy ourselves. And we had fun and enjoyed the food and the company. Recommend it for large groups or family outing. Pros: Meat, holiday atmosphere Cons: Parking more

Pricey great Funnnn!!! Classy so dress to impress...i wore a dress and i fit in perfectly. Pros: Fantastic Experience Cons: Waited for our table for about 30 min even with made reservations and hard to find parking more

Excellent place for meat lover !! All the meat are cooked very well. Pros: everything! more

This place has a lot to offer. I went with my parents who had been before so I was warned about the amount of meat one can consume there. So I opted for the salad bar. The salad bar was the best salad bar I have come a crossed. It more than just your average salad bar, it features high end fresh ingredients. And for those who don't love huge hunks of beef but are not quite vegetarian the salad bar offers smoked salmon, salami, and chicken salad with large chunks of chicken. It was wonderful and the staff was great, but you are constantly being interrupted, which I didn't mind as much but can be a problem. even if you order the salad bar you will still be bought out hot sides, like mash potatoes, fried plantains, and polentta. Pros: clean bathrooms, excellent service, beautiful resturant Cons: parking more

On Wednesday, March 19th, 2008... I had the pleasure of meeting a friend for lunch and I chose Fogo de Chao. My friend loves meat and I love veggies. We were both excited about trying someplace new. Upon arrival, we were immediately seated and told of the ordering process. Everything was deliciious and in abundance. The wine was great and you can't get better service and not be royalty. We felt truly catered to and spoiled.. treated like Queens for the afternoon. We decided to come back again for dinner to really enjoy the beautiful decor. I recommend this place for family dinners, dates, business meetings or any group that loves to EAT!! Pros: fast immediate service, deicious food and great variety in salad bar, beautifully decorated Cons: No room for dessert, no parking (use garage), no women waitresses more

Dear Patron below who has commented on the lack of vegetarian options - Pros: huge/fresh salad bar, great meat in copious amounts Cons: no room in my tummy for dessert :( more

this location allows a great atmosphere for business and personal dinners. the 18 selections of meat paired with the large salad bar allows you to indulge freely in what ever you choose. I have been to 6 other brazilian steak houses in other cities and fogo always outperforms. I recommend making reservations. Pros: Geat selection and no such thing as tiny portion Cons: all you can eat if that's a bad thing more

Interesting concept, it?s an upscale Brazilian steak house buffet. I figured that we can?t go wrong for picking something on Chestnut Street in center city. That was a mistake. We had the worst services from our two waiter/waitress. They acted as if they had something better to do than being there. Both didn?t even bother to look at us when we are talking to them. They would ask how we are doing and before I could answer, they would start walking away and I?m talking to their back. Why even bother asking? Their timing is completely off. Both would interrupt us constantly when we don?t need anything, but when we needed them, we sat there forever waiting for them. Beside our waiter/waitress, the other staffs are terrific. The salad bar was great and the steaks weren?t bad depending on your taste. I personally like the lamb chop, pork rib and house sirloin. Pros: salad bar, the steaks Cons: service more

I wasn't sure how to dress but almost anything is fine. People were dressed in everything from jeans to little black dresses. The waiters are EXCELLENT! They pulled out our chairs and were very attentive. I took my boyfriend here for his birthday because he loves steak and this was perfect. You can't get more manly than steaks on giant skewers. And they try to cook each skewer so that you have every ""doneness"" on each skewer. From bloody to well. And if they don't have what you want on their skewer they'll go get it! I was a little scared of the salad bar because things weren't labeled and I am pretty picky. But overall a wonderful experience and we will definitely go again! Pros: Steak is cooked and seasoned well. Cons: Pricey. (But if you can afford it go for it!) more

You can't please all the people all of the time, but the vegetarian reviews lead me to this thought: Pros: You can be as full as you want more

This is me my boyfriend, my family, and his familys favorite restraunt it is the most enjoyable time i ever have at dinner. The waiters dont skip a beat . The second you sit you can begin eating , so go hungry . I love this place . Highly reccommended!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pros: The price is very fairly priced for the top notch meat you receive more
