Not like the other Fogoâs Iâve been to , drinks where in can versus fountain at a very high price. Food was great but the service was very sparse. Over all Iâd go back when in Orlando but itâs also about 30% more expensive than my local fogo as well. Decent but not a great experience.

I was not satisfied with the food and services provided.
Service started out slow and got my husband in a bad mood but once it picked up, everything was fine. We were disappointed there were no crepes that day as it was noted on the menu and our server told us there would be crepes. The table side meats were very good.
Worst dining experience ever! Food didnât arrived with side dishes and dinner plates. Very noisy and crowded even after making a reservation we have to wait 45 minutes to be seated. Food quality very poor
Every time we come to Orlando this is our go to spot for our one nice dinner
It was my wifeâs Birthday dinner and we treated superbly. We started with cocktails that were both delicious. Then we ordered a bottle of Gascon Malbec that was a recommendation. It was reasonably price and went wonderful with various cuts of meats. I love the lamb cuts and the servers made sure we were visited often with lamb. Filet was super tender as was the skirt steak. My wife received a complimentary dessert of lava cake with vanilla bean ice cream which also was amazing. The Happy Birthday in strawberry was a nice touch as well. Overall it was an outstanding experience.
We were celebrating 2 birthdays and overall experience ended up very enjoyable after starting out a little rocky. First cut of meat was little tough and almost 15 minutes went by with our cards flipped green before another gaucho came by with meat. We didnât want the particular cut he was offering but we asked him if he could please send lamb chops and filet out, he asked how we would like them cooked and approx 10 minutes later they both arrived cooked to perfection. The filet was so tender I believe it could have been cut with just a fork. We had a 3:00 reservation on Friday for lunch and the restaurant was not very busy, it was quiet and the ambiance was wonderful. Thanks for a wonderful birthday celebration!
No preference for reservations. Having a reservation does not mean youâll be seated first at this restaurant. Their policy is first come first served. Donât waste your time making a reservation.
I've been to many Brazilian steakhouses. Based on the price, I thought this would be between Texas de Brazil (popular mid-level chain) and Churrascaria Plataforma (NYC) in quality. Wasn't even close to Churrascaria and was even inferior to Texas de Brazil. Fogo de Chao may have a good name, but the Orlando location (at least) had sub-par meat, fairly poor service, average meat selection, and an average salad bar. If you've never been to a riodizio style steakhouse, you'll probably like it. But if you have anything decent to compare to, save your money. It's not worth it.
Everything was amazing!!
