My husband and I are fans of Brazilian Steakhouse. We eat at Fogo De Chao all the time. We tried Fire of Brazil for the first time this weekend and it was horrible. It is only about nine dollars cheaper per person than Fogo De Chao but no where near as good. The salad bar had no where near the amount of choices and what was there was not fresh. The meats were cold, very bland, and very, very overcooked. So overcooked they were dry and very chewy. When we talked to somewhen about the meats being so overcooked we couldn't even cut them with our knives he said to just let the server know what kind of cut you would prefer. When we tried that asking for a medium cut, we ended up getting rare!. The servers were unprofessional in there service so when they cut the rare meat at our table my blouse was splashed with rare meat liquid (if you know what I mean). The servers were obviously not trained very well in knowing the different temperatures and cuts of meat. The sausage was cold and tough, so was the ham. The service was bad with empty drink glasses and no refills on bread or sides even thought the restaurant was nearly emplty. We also had difficulty understanding the servers because they did not speak very good english and communicate very easily. We have never had that problem at Fogo De Chao, everyone there is very well trained and it is the best meats and salads you will every eat. Don't waste your time or money with Fire of Brazil the nine dollars isn't worth the difference between bad and really great, go to Fogo De Chao. We will never go back.
Pros: We don't every have to waste money there again
Cons: Not the best choice for Brazilian Steakhouse
