   Took a group of friends here for lunch. Overall, everyone was happy with the value and quality of the meats. The meat table service was speedy, but the initial drink orders and getting the lunch going was somewhat slow despite the number of active tables (we came close to 2pm when the restaurant closes until 5pm).

   Longer wait, over 20 minutes to get a slice of meat?

   I have been to Fogo before but this time was different. They had lost a very important factor of service and that is hospitality and smiles. The salad bar seems very lack luster for the brunch in comparison to 5 years ago when we went. We ordered the seafood tower and wasn’t told it was ON ICE. Who cooks crab and lobster and sticks it on ice? It made the meat taste terrible and we paid $108 for it… our whole party was disappointed. The meat they brought to the table I felt like was OK but not all very good at all, most of it was over salted. The filet minion was perfection, the pork ribs were hard to eat and very grizzly, the chicken was burnt, the sirloin was chewy, the ribeye was good… the only thing I loved at the salad bar was the tomato soup and bread… even the yogurt parfaits didn’t taste right at all. Our whole party got dessert, all of those were good, though I do wish their Tres Leches was more traditional, it seemed very dry in comparison to the real thing. I don’t think we want to go back… it was a birthday celebration, yes he got cake, but it didn’t feel like anyone actually cared at the restaurant to make that day special for our birthday guest. Sucks we are stuck with so many corporate gift cards for this place, should have tried Manny’s instead I think.

   Construction outside the front door made it hard to access. Food was just ok. Gauchos didn’t know differences in how cuts of meat were cooked, we ask for medium and at best most cuts were rare. Service was terribly slow and most servers were not friendly, not impressed at all and probably would rate this location on the bottom of all the Brazilian steakhouses I have visited. Would have rated with zeros if they were available instead of 1.

   Fogo de Chao - MinneapolisResponded on June 24, 2022Brad, firstly, we apologize for the inconvenience outside construction has caused.

   Ask if coming in at 1:45 would be a problem since they stop seating people at 2. They said no, Apparently they also shut down the grills at two so we didn’t get the whole experience until we said something.

    Went on a Monday night and was moderately busy. Staff was everywhere but took a while to get seated. Waiter never got drinks ordered , had to ask 3 times to finally get them which was already 20 minutes after sitting down. Felt like waiter avoided the table unless you flagged them down. Was ok but the staff seemed more like chatting together next to the computer than watching the tables. Can only imagine a weekend when it is busy!

    It had been a while since my last visit for some beef therapy. Enough that the Market Table had some new items and the caipirinha’s were served in a tall glass instead of a tumbler. Also, the gauchos are now not all Brazilian! Shocker! And the Pão de Queijo did not come in a covered basket, which was a bit disappointing as they arrived cold. That said all the Fogo magic was there. Meats cooked to perfection, service mostly spot on.

    We were a party of 8 on Father’s Day. This isn’t my first time at Fogo but it seemed different. We kept getting one kind of meat. It was good but usually you have to flip the table coster so they can stop coming over. Not the case we had to ask several people to send over meat. I also thaught it was a little odd that we didn’t get a table cloth. Thank god for our waiter Dorian he did a great job of getting the meat over to us and making sure we were good.

    Made a reservation for Fathers Day. No special menu, just the normal salad bar and great meat that the website says is $45/person. Arrived, were seated by a very friendly and competent host. Went to the salad bar and found all the usual yummy things. While we were eating, a manager was nearby chitchatting with people she knew at a table about how Fogo was moving her to Texas because she was doing so well. She was there for 20+ minutes, while diners in that same section were waiting for meat, any meat, to come by. We sat with empty plates for quite a while. Finally we (and other tables) asked plate clearers if they could please send meat to our section. Finally it came and was great - but it was a long wait. Ate, got bill, and was shocked to find we were charged $62/person! Bill noted it was a special occasion meal - though it was the exact same meal they serve every day. There was nothing ‘extra’ provided - no drinks, no dessert, etc. I was hosting, so did not dispute the bait/switch bill, but paid it and left feeling cheated. I was charged an extra $17 per person(!) after I had carefully planned and reserved.

    The food was great like always. The service was not as good as normal. I had one server cut the meat off and it fell on my pant leg. We were in a farther table so I feel we were forgotten more when it came to the meat rounds. Otherwise, it was a decent experience

    My fiancé and I have been here a few times and love the experience! Today our Indy family came into town and Owen & Miguel gave the best attention to our party of thirteen! Food, drinks and plate replacements were coming like clockwork. Everyone was comfortable and full by the end of our meal. Will come again! We highly recommend the Minneapolis location!

    I found the meat tough, so they re apparently using a cheap grade of meat, which would be old if they marinated it, or did something to tenderize it. I have to know to ask for sides they weren’t offered, veggies on the bar were greasy and pretty non existent. I thought it pricey for what we got. I will not go again.

    Prisoner Wine Dinner--- If you have not attended one of the Fogo de Chao wine dinners you are missing out. The value is incredible. For just a bit more than you'd pay for a full meal and a couple of cocktails, you can enjoy some great wine paired with great food, learn a little and have a wonderful time. We love these and have been to all of them thus far. Goal is not to miss any as long as the value stays where it is at. They did to a "premium" version a month or so back that was priced too high. But last night was back in a reasonable rate. Great team service. Highly recommend these. The FB director at fogo is awesome!

    I had a 12:15pm reservation for today and was there on time. The friendly hostess was going to sit me in the middle of the restaurant and I asked to be seated by a wall which she was easily able to appease by moving me. I was greeted by a server who asked had ate at Fog de Chao before , which I had. I went up and got some salad and fruit and then sat down and waited for the meat to arrive. I waited . I waited. Someone bought meat to the table next to me and then went past me. I had to call them back to ask for some meat. I waited again. I watched a manager to a couple of tables to ask how things were going. I didn't see a manager until he bought the bill over. This was an extremely disappointing dining experience. The service was abysmal except for the ladies clearing my table who were great. When I got up from my table I wished the lady at the table next to mine happy birthday. She said thank you but she stated she wishes I had better service. So now I know it wasn't just me.

    Overall amazing service, steak was offered in medium rare or medium. Hot and cold sides were very nice (would of licked labels above the cold sides for allergy purposes). Scored lower due to price, online it is advertised as $48 for the full experience but in the restaurant it was $62 (25% mark up) and we were not able to order tap water we had to order still water at $7.50 a bottle (4 glasses at 3/4 full).
