Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse - Brazilian restaurant in Minneapolis - 645 Hennepin Ave, USA

Absolutely blown away by this dining experience! First of all, definitely go with the full churrasco experience—pricey but worth it for a very unique dining experience. The waitstaff was awesome and the server’s bringing around the various meats make the whole thing grand. It felt like everyone was a team. Jasper, our server, was a delight and truly made us feel cared for! We will be back!

What a wonderful tradition we have had year after year making the nearly two and half hour drive to celebrate our son’s birthday at his favorite restaurant. Every single one of us enjoys the food immensely! The high quality and variety of every meat served is remarkable! Our service year after year has been outstanding as well. This was our 4th year celebrating and this time we made our lunch reservation for 2:00pm. Every year I check the prices (and the hours) and have purchased gift cards, in advance, to assist in paying for the luxury of eating here so I don’t have to come up with all the funds at one time. We also always eat over the lunch hour to save on the costs of feeding our small group. I was shocked when we finished our experience around 4:00pm and they had charged me the evening price rather than the lunch price. Everywhere I had looked I could only see that dinner hours started at 5:00pm. I had to come up with over $150 on top of the $250 in gift cards I had. Our meal was absolutely wonderful!! The atmosphere is fantastic! The servers are top notch. But $450 for a family is five was outrageous for what we felt was “lunch”.

Celebrated our anniversary here, what a WONDERFUL night! We have been wanting to go for years and finally got the chance. It was well worth the wait. Even had a special secluded table away from everyone. Thank you for a delicious dinner <3

Pretty disappointed at this location. Last year we went was okay, but this year was so bad that if it were any other restaurant I'd probably never come back. The water we were given had some weird unknown stuff in it I didn't notice until too late. I'm hoping maybe it was just paper, but I don't know. We were given a set of "clean" plates and one of them had smeared mashed potato on it. The seared tofu entree I ordered had substituted the pasta with some fairly bland rice without telling me. When I asked about it, they said they ran out and had some sort of shipment issue. I'm surprised the chef didn't communicate this to our server. The tofu was pretty bland. I wouldn't have paid $10 for what I was given, let alone $22. Our server was nice, but two of the people we spoke to had started just recently. I have no issue with that (or them, they were super nice), but it makes me think there is incredibly high turn over at this location and probably poor management. I would bet there's tons of problems similar to mine under the surface. Genuinely disappointed, especially given that we paid $120 (with tip) for 4 people for this. The market table and meat offerings were fairly decent as always.

The salad bar was pretty good. It has salad, deli meat, cheese, potato salad etc. I didn't take too many photos because the meat came out quickly. The flavoring for some of the meats was pretty good. They have quite a variety. Dessert, I ordered the creme brulee. It was decent. Service was good, staff were kind and friendly. For parking I would recommend doing the valet.

Came in an hour before close for dessert, and was served by David the bartender. He was very conversational, professional, and insightful. He made me an amazing mocktail that wasn’t even on the menu, and suggested a great dessert. Quick service. Helpful and friendly. Tamara helped me out with some suggestions as well! Couldn’t ask for anything better!

We went there for my birthday. We chose this place because we read a lot of great reviews. We went to a different Brazilian steakhouse before, and I think the food is not as great. The crème brulee dessert was really good. I also love the cinnamon pineapple and the fried cheese with honey. The atmosphere of the steakhouse was amazing. The service was excellent. Our server was very friendly and attentive to what we needed. The salad bar/buffet selection was great! I don't know if we just came on the wrong day, but the meats were bland, some were chewy, and not as flavorful as the other Brazilian steakhouse we went to. I will probably come back again, as I purchased holiday gift cards.

A stellar experience all around. Get the continuous table-side service and pace yourself. GET the grilled cheese (i think it’s Brie) and grilled pineapple. They’re amazing, all of the food there including the market table food bar was incredible. Worth the heavy hit to the wallet, to be honest. We told them it was our anniversary and we got a free dessert with happy anniversary written on it. Also the servers were angels and very attentive.
