Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse - Brazilian restaurant in Kansas City - 222 W 47th St, USA

My girlfriend and I got reservations for 9pm on New Year’s Eve. Obviously incredibly busy but we got checked in at the front and just had to stand around in the cold front lobby area. They had a lady just sitting down the entire time screaming the names of guests when it was time for them to be seated, something pretty annoying. It would seem more logical to just have a text system set up like most places have these days. We got seated eventually about 9:10pm. We both decided to do the experience which includes 3 sides dishes and access to the salad bar and all the meats they bring around. Great amount of food options for just about any taste. Salad bar had prosciutto, salami, cheese, Brazilian street corn, potato salad, smoked salmon, olives, fruits etc. all were really good. Of the many different meat options, our favorites were the bacon wrapped chicken, top sirloin and pork belly. All the meats were incredible except for the chicken thighs, those seemed to be over cooked and very dry. The atmosphere was alright, but felt really compact and the seating was relatively close to other tables, thankfully we got seated in a back room type area away from the madness. Our server was kind but seemed to rush explaining the menu and how things worked there. It felt like they just wanted to seat us and get us out of there as soon as possible. The thing that made me give a 3 star review isn’t the food or value, it was that when we were full and decided on grabbing the check, our server just took our plates and cleaned our table with us still seated, just leaving our drinks remaining. It felt like they were saying, “ok you’re done, bye”. Yes I know it was a holiday and very busy and they want to be quick resetting the tables, but we hadn’t even payed for the meal yet and they come and remove everything from us. Couldn’t believe they did that. I could see that happening at a cheaper spot but not at a place like this. Overall it was a good experience but for the price we paid, I felt the service was very lacking. They would bring meats to the table every few minutes and it just felt like they wanted us to get full as fast as possible so we would leave. Probably won’t be back to this location but maybe another location on a weekday and not during a holiday.

We went in on Christmas Day and ot was packed! We made reservations 6 hours prior for 5:30pm got seated at 5:50pm, which was pretty good, being it was a holiday..I had the salmon and asparagus, it was pretty good. I am a vegetarian. They have lots of vegetarian options. My $31 meal came with the market buffet where you could get salad, cheeses, cures and smokes meats, vegetables, roasted zucchini, Mexican corn, roasted califlower (its all served cold). There are a lot of options for a vegetarian. Hubs had the $61 meat that comes with the buffet and a small side of mashed potatoes and fried polenta and caramelized bananas. The mashed potatoes were good. He tried lamb, garlic steak, sausage, chicken drumstic, chicken wrapped in bacon and lamb. He gave the entire meal 2 stars. The meat didn't have a lot of flavor. The chicken was flavorful. We also had 2 drinks and a sprite, which ran us $170 after an 18% tip. We enjoyed it but agreed it was a bit overrated. The experience was nice but we wouldn't go back. Quality wasn't there for me, just a lot of meat.

You will leave far more full than anyone has any right to be. Although you'll be in pain, you'll still be happy. Then you'll be angry with yourself for eating so much later that day as your body goes through stages of upset... Then you'll return back to happy 🤣 I would suggest going at least once in your life for the experience alone. Don't miss the smoked salmon in the salad bar. That was, by far, my favorite part of the meal. Which is saying something, because the meat that was brought to the table by their professional carvers was phenomenal.

We had a very enjoyable lunch with friends. We ate from the Market Table, which was plentiful with lots of variety (good vegetables among other things). The food was excellent and the service (thanks, Brad and others) was terrific. It was not noisy, so we could have a nice conversation. We will definitely be back!

What an amazing experience .. we had a large group of 12 and everything was delicious. The sea food tower was definitely worth it, and the full menu experience is a must. Alexus or service was equally impressive. Her skills as a servicer are like no other. Truly talented. Everything from beginning to end was perfect.

The service from Jocquez was excellent! He came around a few times, cracked a couple of jokes and made sure we were having a great time and got our food as well as sauces for our incredible lamb chops. All and all making this journey at Fogo De Chão amazing. I also want to thank everyone in the kitchen who prepared a nice and flavorful dish for us. I would also love to thank everyone who chopped the meat for us and refilled our drinks as well as checked up on us.

The food was good for the most part. However, some of the meats were bland and dry. The cheese bread, corn, and mashed potatoes were delicious. However, it took a while to get seated due to crowds even with a reservation, and it was overpriced with about $62 per person. On the bright side, it was fancy in the inside.

My husband and I have heard from multiple people that Fogo De Chao is supposed to be one of the superior Brazilian steakhouses. We've been to others with the same concept and love the experience. We are on vacation for the holiday and decided we'd splurge a bit and give Fogo a chance for Thanksgiving. I'll start with the service. Going in we expected it to be hectic because of the holiday. Our server greeted us with a smile and informed us how Fogo works. He also let us know that other servers would be assisting to make sure we had a smooth evening. We ordered bar drinks and started our experience. After 20 minutes from ordering we received waters and the side dishes that Fogo offers. We started to get our meats, 10 minutes passed...15...20...25. A lady stopped at our table and asked of if there was anything we needed, we informed her that our drinks were order awhile ago and we hadn't received them. She went over to the other server who was helping ours and informed him. I watched and neither one of them headed to the bar to check on drinks. Just as we were finishing our experience, they finally showed up to the table, even my kids lemonade. Our server also never came to check on us until it was time for the check. Overall poor service, regardless of the holiday, there could have been more organization to make sure guest were receiving things in a timely manner. Next the food......most of the meat passed around was lacking flavor or was inconsistent. I would get one item,love it, get it a second time and it tasted nothing similar to the first time. A lot of the meat received was full of fatty edges that I had piles of scraps on my plates. The market section needs to be labeled. I was constantly guessing at what I was putting on my plate. Variety lacked compared to other places I had been to. Lastly, the restaurant needs some cleaning. I went to use the restroom and the stalls were caked in dust. I paid just shy of $200 dollars for one of the worst experiences I've had. We were looking forward to this so much for the holiday and it was a huge disappointment.
