Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse - Brazilian restaurant in Scottsdale - 6300 N Scottsdale Rd, USA

The place reminds me of a buffet in Vegas back in the day. Made reservations for my birthday and when we got there the place was very busy. They sat us at a table that was a passageway to the food and servers to get water. We were immediately bumped by staff and people trying to get to the buffet. We asked the first server to move, and she was stated "well it is the holiday season, and we are very busy." She did not offer a solution and walked away. We had to go to the hostess for help, and we then were offered to wait for a different table, but they were not sure how long it might be as people were staying longer than usual. We opted to stay and we rearranged the table to make a better path so we were not hit by passers by. The manager did not help with this, and we had to come up with our own solution. Fortunately, a different waitress Mary came over and improved our experience. She was friendly and kind. The food was good. The staff did take special requests and would bring you items you wanted. The advantage of being close to the kitchen was that you could catch servers with food, but it was very noisy and there was lots of traffic. Would have preferred a table that was near the back so we could have enjoyed each other's company. If I do return, I now know to ask for the cuts of meats that I would like first so that I can enjoy them. Make sure to eat light on the salad bar. We mentioned to the manager the first servers' comments and rudeness, but I'm not sure he cared. He never returned to our table or followed up with us if our experience improved. Hopefully, he will get more training in customer service. UPDATE REACHED OUT AS LISTED BELOW. WAS PROMISED BY MANAGER THAT SHE WOULD CALL AND SHE NEVER DID.

Got there early so it wasn't too busy and we were seated immediately. Salad bar was fully stocked and delicious. Service was good but we were skipped with the meats at times. They were out of the candied bananas which was a bummer. Top sirloin was too dry for my liking and lacked seasoning. We never got to try the pork belly as none was brought out. Not as good as it was a few years back when I lived in the area. Overall still a pretty good experience so I will be back.

This was the most amazing dining experience I have ever had. The food, perfect. Everything that was brought to the table was sizzling and perfectly cooked. The service, beyond phenomenal. Austin was our favorite carver. He brought meat to the table as soon as we took our last bites. The atmosphere of this place was exquisite. I couldn’t have eaten another bite if I tried. Definitely dress up, it’s worth it

We just came for dinner today (Dec 25th). Reserved table @6:15 pm but get in at 8:30 pm lol it was crazy that seem like hundreds of people waiting outside when got there. Didn’t expect that it took 2 hr waiting for reservation. But they offered free meat, bread & drinks during waiting time. It was complementary and smart way to treat customers which made us felt better & calming! However, 2 hour waiting is so so crazy I would not choose to come on Christmas Day in the future. I guess it’s better to come on regular days not holidays. The business should limit reservations otherwise just say no reservations. Come first and serve first would work better today ! But whole customer service is very professional and friendly so I would give 4- star. Very nice staff and vibe here! Just thought manger should have better solutions to handle Christmas customers next year :) Thank you all guys! Appreciate that !

Decided to celebrate my husband’s birthday today at Fogo de Chão. Food is always consistently amazing, atmosphere is always warm and comforting. Staff is exceptionally great! Today we had the pleasure of Rachel and Madyson taking care of us. Both ladies were beyond sweet and constantly checked in to ensure we were enjoying our time, and happy with our service ! We will be back! Thank you ladies so much !!!

Pros: - Service. Excellent service overall. Very friendly staff that made sure we had what we needed. They ask to make sure you're getting the meats you want (if you go with the full experience) - Appetizers. The table/bar area is unique. Food options were decent and tasty. Only downside (like any buffet style) is touching tongs and then going back to your seat and eating. Not a fault of their own. - Food. Some of meats are delicious. Cons: - Atmosphere. Reminds me of a dining hall. The lights were way too bright and it was suggested they dim them for a better atmosphere (which they overheard and did!). Tables are a bit cramped and there are certain ones tucked away in corners. Not a negative for everyone but more of a family restaurant than a romantic experience. Lots of screaming kids. - Food. Some of the meats were not worth the price of admission. Many came completely full of fat and were nearly inedible. Side dishes were a bit bland. - Price. Quite expensive for what you get. Can't say the bang is worth your buck unless you are a bigger person and eat a large quantity of meat. - Service. While the service was excellent, there were quite a few times where the guys handling meats would ignore us in the corner. Other times they would ignore the red sign that means no thanks to more food and would ask if we wanted x meat. I also didn't appreciate the snarky comment from one of the staff about using the tongs next time when I didn't see them. Random observation but it seems like one of the requirements to be a waiter there is you have to have a super goofy haircut. 😂

We enjoyed a happy hour at the bar for my birthday and Noel was just fabulous! Friendly, funny, great energy and attitude, we loved her! And what a fantastic happy hour menu! We had the most perfect time!

Such a wonderful experience here with our servers Parker and Samantha! We were a large group in the private room in the back. Despite our large group they kept up with the demand of our needs and I always felt taken care of. The food was fantastic and I definitely will be coming back after such a great experience.
